Chapter 900 The Warrogs Are Dead.
The Warrogs are treated like feral beasts. They are sentient beasts at best and are treated as such. The quality and quantity of their population is kept down. It is not cruelty. It is a necessity for peace. Things used to be worse than this. Warrogs were more violent and highly fertile. They were treated as pests meant to be destroyed on sight. n()o/-v-.e..1-(b)/I--n
Back then, Warrogs were snarling and violent beasts. That was at the time when they were major contenders for the control of the plane. They had several emperors the likes that haven't been seen since then. Their society of war and violence flourished under the leadership of their Emperors. They were a mighty force to contend with.
The Warrogs were rightfully strong and more deserving of the position of the overlord of the plane. But the tree elves laid their hands on the fountain of life. They empowered themselves with the fountain and managed to defeat the unruly Warrogs. That ended the First great world war.
There were two more world wars after that but they didn't amount to much. It only led to bloodshed and unnecessary deaths. The tree elves became angry because of it. They sought to prevent world wars from ever happening again. That's what started the Warrog "pruning" process.
As things are, the Warrogs will never be that great anymore. Their heyday is gone. Their days of glory are behind them. They will never be able to trouble the plane again or start world wars. It is not only because of the restrictions that the tree people have placed on them and their population. It is mainly because the tree people used the fountain of life to change the Warrog's race.
This happened after the defeat of the Warrogs during the First Great World War. Their Emperors were killed so no one could protect them. A select group of Warrogs was changed while the rest was eliminated. The few surviving Warrogs were made weaker and easier to live with. So the original Warrog race is dead.
The Warrogs of today will never achieve what their forefathers achieved because they are no longer their fathers. The ancient Warrogs are no more.
The fountain of life didn't change much about the Warrogs. They still look the same. But the probability of their divine ability appearing has been drastically reduced. Their divine ability has also been severely stunted. So even if their divine ability appears, it will never be as great as the ones of the past.
These changes to their divine ability weakened the entire race and made them more docile. They lack the power that drove their violence. They have become more malleable to control. So the pruning plan went without a hitch. The plane has received peace because of it.
The tree elves are a peaceful people. But they can engineer an entire race and make them more docile. It is all to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. Too much of anything is bad. But so is the absence of a thing. For that reason, the tree elves would rather control than eliminate the Warrogs completely.
This is the situation that Legion-6 was born into. The plane is heading towards destruction and his race is under the heels of another race. To be a Warrog in this plane is to be enemies with the tree people and to be in danger because of the demon god.
Legion didn't choose this plane but he chose this race. To be precise, Legion chose the original race of Warrogs in another plane. That plane is in total control of the Warrogs.
He chose the Warrog race because it is the only race where the chance of being a paragon is directly proportional to the soul potential of the individual. His soul fragment should have a guaranteed chance of becoming a paragon because of it.
The plane he wanted is a good plane to be reincarnated into compared to a plane that has drawn the attention of a demon God. In fact, any plane is a much better option compared to the current Lumen plane.
That's just the start of his problems. It has been stated that the Warrogs are largely unaffected by the changes to the plane. But they have their own problems to deal with. They have come a very long way from their rabid days but they haven't gone far. It is why Legion-6's mother is currently fleeing for her life.
The Warrogs are humanoid with a mix of lupine and bovine features. They have a lupine head complete with sharp canines within a protruded mouth on their face and sharp, tall, erect ears on their head to match. But their torso is largely bovine in that it is thick, broad, and very muscular unlike what is to be expected in lupine creatures.
Warrogs are creatures of great strength due to their bovine features. But they also possess great agility and speed. They have four limbs. Two upper ones and two lower ones or two arms and two legs.
Their hands end in 5 clawed fingers with an opposable thumb which makes them capable of using tools. Their legs take on another bovine feature. The two legs are shaped like those of wolves but it ends in hooves. They then complete their entire look with a long furry tail and a pair of long, sharp horns on their head.
Legion-6's mother is skipping through the cold forest. Only one of her smooth and long horns is intact. The other one has broken off leaving a bleeding wound on her head. It is a fresh injury. It happened a few minutes ago. She doesn't want more wounds on her body so she is running as fast as she can.
Her hooves help her get traction on the ground covered with a thick layer of snow. It is a good feature to have because she currently doesn't have the leisure to watch her steps and walk carefully. The terrible state of the frictionless ground is the least of her worries right now.
