After finishing the task with Gala, Zhao Hai sent her back to their camp. However, he could not relax, as he had to go pick up the members of the Elephant Clan.
To say that the Beast King was efficient in his work would be an understatement. Not long after Zhao Hai finished talking to Gala, the preparations were ready. After inquiring with the Beast King, Zhao Hai learned that the Beast King did not summon the Elephant Clan members to Beast God City; instead, they gathered at their own clan and were waiting there. This saved a lot of time, as they only needed to send a message with the Eagle Clan.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but admire the Beast King's experience after hearing this. He immediately appeared not far from the Elephant Clan's camp in the space.
The grazing grounds of the Elephant Clan were quite impressive on the prairie. Although they had a gentle temperament, they were not afraid of any race on the prairie when it came to battle, making them one of the renowned warrior clans of the prairie.
The members of the Elephant Clan were notably taller than ordinary orcs, with heights generally under five meters, and some even reaching six to seven meters. Their weapons were also quite unique, categorized into two types: one was a large wolf tooth club, a two-handed weapon that was substantially heavier than the ones used by ordinary orcs, primarily made from beast bones, making it very durable.
Their other weapon was a curved bow, but instead of using their hands, they used their trunks. There was a saying on the continent that claimed the trunks of the Elephant Clan were more agile than their hands, and there was truth to that.
The wolf tooth clubs swung by the Elephant Clan wielded a force like a thousand pounds; each swing bore the weight of thunder. Meanwhile, their curved swords wielded with their trunks were nimble and elusive, renowned for their unique swordplay on the continent.
By the time Zhao Hai arrived at the Elephant Clan's camp, two thousand elephant warriors and two thousand war elephants were already assembled. The Elephant Clan could serve as both cavalry and infantry, but if used as cavalry, their striking power was nowhere near as great as when they acted as infantry, as their beast kin weren't particularly fast. In essence, their cavalry lacked the charge impact; any army familiar with formations would not be easily broken by the Elephant Clan’s cavalry due to their speed limitations.
However, when used as infantry, the situation was different. The infantry of the Elephant Clan advanced steadily with each step. Although not fast, they exuded an imposing pressure akin to that of a mountain, making it difficult for most armies to withstand such pressure.
The war elephants, or their beast kin, were generally not used for riding. Although these war elephants were not quick, they had immense carrying capacity, and when fighting in coordination with the Elephant Clan, they were extremely effective.
When Zhao Hai, riding the bone dragon, arrived at the Elephant Clan's old camp, the two thousand warriors were already ready, and the clan leader was there waiting for Zhao Hai.
The royal family of the Elephant Clan was one of the most renowned races on the prairie, known as the Silver Elephant Clan. Their skin was silver-white, shimmering as if reflecting silver light. This trait contributed to their formidable defense capabilities, and combined with the strength of the elephant people, they were indeed a terrifying presence on the prairie.
As Zhao Hai landed outside the Elephant Clan’s old camp, the clan leader, upon seeing Zhao Hai, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, “I am Bater from the Elephant Clan, Your Highness.”
Zhao Hai quickly returned the greeting, “I have met Clan Leader Bater. You are too polite; I didn’t expect you to be ready so quickly.”
Bater smiled and replied, “Upon receiving Your Majesty's letter, I did not dare to delay. Our orc tribe has long been eager to battle the demon clan. Who would have thought our Elephant Clan would be fortunate enough to be the first chosen? This truly is our luck. Therefore, I immediately ordered my sons to assemble, and Your Highness can take them at any time.”
