Bad news

Two days later, the combined forces of giants, succubi, and Buffalofolk arrived at Moonshadow Valley.

As they gazed upon the overturned earth outside the valley, the entire group couldn't help but gasp in shock.

When they saw the altar constructed from the corpses of tigerfolk and serpentfolk, every giant, succubus, and Buffalofolk was left speechless.

Succubus Queen Delilah and Buffalofolk Elder Earthshaker stared at the mountain-like altar, a chill running down their spines.

Half a day later, inside Orion's tent.

Acting Chieftain Orion presided over the meeting, with Elder Rendall as his second. Three other giant elders—Thundar, Slate, and Samson—were present, along with Succubus Queen Delilah and Buffalofolk Elder Earthshaker. 

"I have three matters that need to be addressed immediately."

Orion sat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over the council members. His expression was stern, and his tone steady.
