Under the Red Dragon
#148 - Twelve Clans of Werewolf
"Even a person with a pure heart, one who does not forget to pray at night, is bound to transform into a wolf on a full moon night when wolfsbane blooms."
Saha, the dragon-blooded werewolf and chief centurion of the Imperial Guard, strolled through the increasingly quiet Golden City at dusk. He looked up at the round moon gradually rising in the sky, enjoying the peaceful and regular life he now had.
This was his time for rest and relaxation. In fact, the three hundred and fifty Imperial Guard warriors were divided into teams of ten, with several teams always on rotation. Therefore, these Imperial Guard warriors actually had more vacation time than one might imagine.
"It's another full moon night. I wonder where my tribe has migrated to," werewolf Saha muttered to himself. After settling down in the dragon territory, he had used ravens to send letters to his original werewolf tribe, which had lost contact due to the war with the Cathay Empire.
Saha, as the war leader of the tribe, suggested to the werewolf tribe's elders that the entire tribe should migrate to the dragon's territory. He had received a letter from the tribe's elders, informing him that the tribe had agreed to his suggestion and was in the process of organizing the migration.
However, even now, he had not yet seen his tribe's werewolves appear in this land. Recently, however, werewolf Saha's keen sense of smell had detected many scents of his own kind in the air.
It was the scent of werewolves. Even if these werewolves could transform into human form, they could not hide it from the noses of their own kind.
In fact, the dragon-blooded werewolf Saha could also transform into human form. However, just like how humans are always full of different opinions and factions, the twelve werewolf clans are also divided into different factions, making them extremely complex.
Werewolf Saha belonged to the natural faction, which revered their natural, original form. He did not like transforming into human form.
Of course, there were also some special werewolves who had been transformed from humans or humanoid creatures due to some kind of curse. These werewolves did not have the ability to freely transform into humans.
Moreover, these special werewolves had difficulty controlling the feral power originating from the cursed werewolves. Every full moon night, they would lose control, becoming particularly manic and causing carnage.
This group of werewolves was also the most likely to be rejected and hunted by humans and other races' civilizations. It was now difficult to find these special werewolves in the settlements of various races.
There were also some werewolves who were born as wolves and did not have sufficient control over their own feral power, also losing control and transforming into werewolves on the night of the full moon, unleashing carnage.
However, these werewolves were in a better situation, as the werewolf tribes they came from always protected these novice werewolves very well.
Following the guidance of the scent of his own kind, the dragon-blooded werewolf Saha went through streets and alleys, finally discovering traces marked by other members of his kind in a dark corner.
There were badges representing the werewolf clans. In this corner, there were already nine different badges engraved upon it. These clan badges were spreading an invisible summoning message, summoning the dragon-blooded werewolf Saha to them.
The nine badges belonged to the nine major werewolf clans, including the Fenrir clan, werewolves who were skilled at surviving in harsh environments.
Savage and fond of killing, they believed in fatalism and were the werewolf tribe that liked to use force and military means the most.
The Fiana clan. The werewolves of this clan had extraordinary passion and artistic insight, and even produced some bards, as well as some extremely powerful werewolf warriors.
The Shadow Walker clan. This clan liked to transform into humans and hide in the settlements of various races, like wolves hiding in a flock of sheep.
This clan also liked human cities and culture, leading other werewolf clans to always have difficulty having sincere trust in the Shadow Walker clan.
There was also the Shadow Heart clan. This clan was quite similar to the Shadow Walker clan, and they all liked to hide in human civilizations.
The difference was that the Shadow Heart clan extended its power more into political circles, advocating the power of social politics, and also liked to use diplomatic means and unscrupulous conspiracies to achieve its goals.
In addition, there was the Blood Claw clan, which advocated revenge, and the White Saint Bone tribe, which advocated using the bones of enemies as a symbol of their strength growth.
And the Uktena clan, which liked to study souls and magic. This clan produced rare werewolf mages and werewolf warlocks, not like other clans who were keen on werewolf warriors.
As well as the Stargazer clan, which liked to roam and travel around the world, wandering at will, advocating an unstable and free life.
There was also the Silver Fang clan. This clan was the most widely distributed clan in the werewolf tribe and was once the unquestionable ruler of the werewolf race.
Many great werewolf powerhouses in history came from this clan. The tribe that werewolf Saha came from belonged to one of the large branches of this clan.
Only the remaining three werewolf clans had not arrived, namely the Wendigo clan, which only liked to live in remote areas, rarely contacted other races, and had its own living circle.
There was also the Kia clan, which liked to use gentle means, often appearing as mediators and negotiators. The tribe tended to heal and end the blood feuds and hatred between werewolves and other races. This clan was also the clan that had goodwill towards other intelligent races.
And a special clan, the Fury clan. This clan was almost entirely composed of female werewolves.
The male werewolves born in the clan were sent to other clans by them, and only female werewolf cubs would grow up in this clan.
Related to this is that the affairs of other werewolf clans are not given too much attention by this clan, except when the mother wolves who use anger as their power want to find their partners and give birth to offspring.
Of course, in addition to the twelve main clans, there were many werewolf clans that had separated from these twelve clans, such as the Fang Wolf clan, which had once become brave warriors of the Doma Kingdom in the Eastern Continent, serving the Doma King.
However, the remaining small clans were largely inseparable from the twelve werewolf clans, so the dragon-blooded werewolf Saha's leisurely expression became slightly solemn.
Because generally, werewolves only need to leave a special mark to summon their companions, but leaving a badge representing the werewolf clan, and with so many clans gathered in this place, it means that the werewolf clan meeting will be held in some uninhabited place in the Golden Land.
This means that among those werewolf clans that left clan badge markings, each clan would send at least one werewolf elder or leader, as well as a considerable number of werewolf warriors as guards.
Because the werewolf clan alliance never has a fixed time to convene, but every time a clan alliance is convened, it determines the fate of the entire werewolf race.
The dragon-blooded werewolf Saha vaguely felt that perhaps his tribe's failure to arrive on time was due to some resistance from other clans.
"Heh, no matter what these guys' purposes are, although my tribe failed in the war, I haven't become weaker,"
The dragon-blooded werewolf Saha's tail with a silver-white mane faintly had a layer of fire-colored halo. He gently tapped his werewolf claws on the faceplate helmet hanging on his waist, making a thumping sound.
And what was blocked by the faceplate helmet was the centurion's waist牌, which was hung on the dragon-blooded werewolf's waist. This token representing power and strength was forged from the divine iron excavated from the red dragon's lair, and also represented the status that Kalon's ruling power bestowed upon this werewolf.
"I hope these guys haven't done anything to make me angry," the dragon-blooded werewolf's mouth, which was longer than a human's, opened, the military talisman in his hand slightly lit up, and he smiled, revealing his silver-white, thick and long canine teeth.
The dragon-blooded werewolf put away his claws stick to the waist牌 again and pressed them on the werewolf clan's badge. The simple information contained in this clan badge would guide the nearby werewolf clans.
"Oh, it's not too far from here, only about a hundred unit of length, approximately 0.5 kilometers," the dragon-blooded werewolf retracted his claws and followed the guidance of the aura from the clan badge, heading towards the distance.
In fact, the wings on the dragon-blooded werewolf Saha's back were not decorations, but this guy rarely used his wings. One reason was that few enemies could force this werewolf to use his wings now.
Secondly, this werewolf had some respect for the dragons, and werewolves did not like the feeling of flying in the sky. The werewolf's own excellent jumping ability was enough to catch some low-flying enemies.
Werewolf Saha still chose to walk this time, and did not take off his Imperial Guard heavy armor and transform into a wild giant wolf.
And the greatsword, which would be considered heavy even for some powerful warriors, was carried in one hand by this guy, striding through the forest path, deep into the forest, following the scent of his own kind.
The scent of the werewolf's own kind was getting stronger and stronger, and there were more and more of them. Obviously, the clans had arrived one after another, and at least one werewolf from each clan had arrived.
The dragon-blooded werewolf continued to walk until his senses clearly conveyed the strong scent of his own kind in front of him. It was a river valley area surrounded by mountains on three sides, which was a fairly excellent temporary habitat for these werewolves.
The dragon-blooded werewolf stopped his steps, put on the vertical horned helmet on his waist, his two dragon horns revealed from the top of the helmet, and then put down his faceplate, striding in.
The two werewolf warriors guarding the entrance to the river valley sensed that the creature under this heavy armor belonged to their own kind and did not stop him, but stared with their green fluorescent eyes in the dark at the two wings on werewolf Saha's back that were still wide even when folded, and the dragon horns on his head.
Werewolf Saha didn't care about the strange gazes of these two werewolves. Although he could be called another race, his werewolf blood had not changed, only some things had been added. This was the biggest difference between the dragon descendants mutated by Kalon's field and those who achieved dragon descendants with true dragon blood.
No tents or anything like that had been set up in the river valley. Although these werewolf clans also belonged to civilized races to some extent, sleeping in the open air was also one of their habits, just gathering under the protruding cliffs that could shelter from the rain.
About thirty werewolves were gathered under the river valley cliffs, some in werewolf form and some in human form, all with a strong werewolf blood aura.
A pile of fires were lit around them, roasting their dinner. Wild boars and deer were roasted until they were shiny, and the entire river valley was filled with a scorched meat smell.
More than a dozen werewolf warriors were patrolling and guarding around the river valley, but they were all lazy.
In such a wilderness forest, few creatures could threaten these powerful werewolf warriors, let alone those werewolf elders and tribal leaders who could perfectly control their own wild power.
However, these outstanding clan elders and leaders did not have the relatively weak senses of the two werewolf warriors guarding the river valley, but clearly sensed how terrifying the aura of this unusually tall heavy armored warrior was.
The werewolves gathered around the fire suddenly became vigilant, their green eyes shining with a captivating light. They stood up,
slightly arching their backs with solid muscles, and their arched feet also slightly bent, with their claws retracted under their chest and abdomen. This was a sign of the werewolf clan about to launch an attack.
Some other werewolves who maintained their human form also revived their wild power, their bodies swelled, and strong muscles tore the linen clothes on these werewolves, and coarse hair of brown, brown, black, and silver drilled out of every part of their bodies.
Their limbs deformed into the claws of beasts, their mouths protruded forward, their sharp teeth lengthened, and their ears became pointed and covered with soft fluff.
When the last furry and powerful tail drilled out from the tail vertebrae, the former humans had turned into terrifying giant wolves walking upright.
Each giant wolf was more than two meters tall, and some werewolf elders and leaders even reached a height of three meters after transforming into giant wolves.
These werewolves emitted a low growl of demonstration at the heavy armored warrior, jumping around, surrounding Saha, who was wrapped in heavy armor.
"Who are you, stranger warrior, fully armed dragon descendant, you have the aura of a werewolf on you." The werewolf elder of the Blood Claw clan had a pair of black claws that vaguely emerged a red halo like fresh blood. This was a feature of the Blood Claw clan activating its power.
Although the other party looked very powerful in heavy armor and holding a greatsword.
But after transforming into werewolves, these leaders, elders, and warriors all had keen speed and great strength, and the fur on their bodies was equivalent to a leather armor, possessing the capital to fight against this heavy armored warrior.
What's more, there were enough werewolves. Even natural wild wolves without wisdom would use wolf pack tactics when hunting, let alone these werewolves who could control their own wild power.
However, even if these werewolves were tall enough, they still looked a little thin and a head shorter in front of the dragon-blooded werewolf in heavy armor.
The tall dragon-blooded werewolf Saha silently watched the silver-haired werewolf, who was the werewolf elder of the Silver Fang clan.
"My tribe, was it you who blocked them, Gerhard," werewolf Saha lifted his faceplate, revealing his slightly changed face. His aura had changed and was no longer familiar to the other party.
" Saha," the werewolf elder named Gerhard also had long silver mane, which had a faint silver glow at night. He called out: "You have actually become a dragon descendant. You are no longer a werewolf and can no longer serve as the Alpha leader!"
"So this time, so many of you came here to hold a clan meeting just to annex my tribe and take over my power,"
Werewolf Saha's face was as calm and indifferent as a red dragon's usual face, making it impossible to see any thoughts.
"No, we came here because you have achieved a certain position in the dragon territory. We need you to cooperate with us to disguise some of the power of our nine clans as your tribe, and then obtain a territory belonging to werewolves within the dragon territory," said the Alpha werewolf of the Shadow Wolfheart Clan, the war leader. He fervently incited the surrounding werewolves.
"These dragons are all foolish and arrogant fellows. We werewolves only need to pretend to submit temporarily, and we can slowly hollow out the dragon's territory," he continued,
"And finally seize power and turn this place into a paradise for werewolves to live in!"
"You guys are really daydreaming," the werewolf Saha finally revealed a sneer. "The dragonkin are not those giant dragons. Their wisdom and power are beyond your imagination."
"It seems you have been a dragon's dog for too long, forgetting that you were once an Alpha, Saha," the leader of the Shadow Wolfheart Clan also sneered.
"But being a dragon's dog is not as pleasant as controlling power yourself. Although you can no longer be the Alpha werewolf of the Silver Fang Clan tribe, as long as you help us, we will share power with you in the future."
"Besides, we werewolves of the twelve clans should help each other, Saha. We are all your kin, your brothers."
Saha couldn't help but laugh. He said, "When I was imprisoned in the Colosseum of the Cathay Empire and suffered humiliation, why didn't I see you say these words to me?"
"As for the power you want to share with me," the werewolf Saha smiled strangely. He put his mask back on, and his deep voice carried a hint of malice.
"Then let you see the power and strength bestowed upon me by my king!"
Before the werewolf Saha's voice fell, figures suddenly appeared on the dwarf mountains and cliffs around the river valley. They were all Imperial Guard warriors clad in heavy armor and wielding heavy blades, each Imperial Guard warrior taller than the werewolves present.
These heavily armored Imperial Guards coldly overlooked the group of werewolves who had already begun to panic. They actually jumped off the cliff madly.
Bang, bang, bang,
One by one, the Imperial Guard warriors bent their knees, supported themselves with one hand, and deeply inserted the broadsword in the other hand into the ground, but the pairs of bright eyes behind the masks, like hunters staring at their prey, bloomed with a stronger light than the other clan werewolves.
