Chapter 2208 Orc Curse Chapter 70
Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, placed her hands on the table, her head bowed, like a prisoner ashamed of her sins.

She remained silent for a long time, as if she wanted the group of people who were throwing bricks to digest the news and form their own judgment before she could continue to give her "defense".

"Ahem, I think you must have your own reasons."

Dali Feizhuan couldn't stand the stuffiness inside, especially since the Beast King Lottie Sandrak looked like she was about to receive a fair trial.

"Let's make this clear first: any criticism you receive from us, we're just roughnecks who don't understand your self-criticism. At most, we'll be quicker when we attack the Great Beast God, so he can die with some dignity."

“This is exactly what I want,” said Lottie Sandrak, the Beastmaster, raising her head.

"What's going on here?" Dali Feizhuan frowned. This tactic wasn't surprising.

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, slowly revealed the secrets of the Sandrak clan.

The Sandrak Clan, the noble Sandrak, is the head of the four great clans and is directly subordinate to the Great Beast God. If each orc tribe is considered as an individual, then the Sandrak Clan is the Beast King among the orc tribes, and all orcs dream of becoming a member of the Sandrak Clan.

The original Sandrak clan was probably very pure; they were simply warriors, or companions, who followed the Great Beast God wholeheartedly and without any selfish motives, assisting the Great Beast God in mediating conflicts between orc tribes and maintaining order.

At that time, the Great Beast God was still the Great Beast King.

Until a group called priests appeared, they referred to the Great Beast King as a god, and the sense of security that the god brought was far greater than that of the king.

However, the group known as priests was not a problem either. They were exceptionally weak, lacking the strength of the Sandrak clan, yet they still wanted to help the Great Beast God. So they traveled on foot across the war-torn orcish lands, guiding the bewildered and helpless orcs who had never seen the Great Beast God's true form. They helped the Great Beast God spread knowledge amidst the chaos following tribal wars and establish a unified civilization.

The priests were exceptionally weak, their power extremely limited. Therefore, the Great Beast God shared his power with the priests, exchanging his limited life for the opportunity to create infinite value for others.

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, wanted to become a High Beast God Priest after hearing the story of the High Beast God Priest. However, just as ordinary orcs were born into the daily life created by the High Beast God and were dissatisfied with this taken-for-granted daily life, the Sandrak clan was also undergoing a silent change after the hard-won peace had lasted too long.

While ordinary orcs still revered the Great Beast God, the orcs of the Sandrak clan had long taken everything brought by the Great Beast God for granted and had developed other ideas because of their proximity to the Great Beast God.

The Sandrak clan is more noble than other clans and other orcs; otherwise, other orcs wouldn't be so eager to become members of the Sandrak clan.

The Sandrak clan is a clan of great beast gods, of noble blood, and will not tolerate the filth of other orcs' blood.

The Sandrak clan is the true orc lineage.

People who came together because of a shared belief became distorted simply because they shared a common name. Countless soul flames that should have been free, like stars in the night sky, crowded into the body of Sandrak, becoming mixed and turning into filthy blood.

If it were merely the corruption and depravity of the Sandrak clan, things wouldn't be so bad. However, the Great Beast God priests, who should have been pure, also began to act strangely. Born weak, yet endowed with power by the Great Beast God, these priests possessed the purest faith. But one day, a Great Beast God priest was "born" elsewhere, born with the Great Beast God's blessing, or perhaps even without ever meeting the Great Beast God, still possessing that blessing.

The meaning of the High Beast God Priest thus changed, from a beastman who received the blessing of the High Beast God to a beastman chosen by the High Beast God. These two meanings seem similar, but they are worlds apart.

One is something earned through hard work when you have nothing, the other is something you are born with, something you will be chosen even if you do nothing.

The Sandrak clan, which prides itself on its noble lineage, and the Great Beast God Priest, who is born different from others, have had their malign developments intertwined, forming the tacit understanding between the Sandrak clan and the Great Beast God Priest.

The priests of the Great Beast God, claiming they no longer needed the Great Beast God's power, requested that the Great Beast God bestow the power that should have been given to them upon the Sandrak clan.

What was originally an act of recognition and assistance, offered at the cost of one's own strength, has become taken for granted and turned into a transaction, a bargaining chip that is no longer considered superior.

"The Great Beast God priests and the Sandrak clan are 'eating' the Great Beast God, consuming his prestige, his power, and everything he possesses to strengthen themselves."

“One day, when the Great Beast God is so weak that he shows signs of exhaustion, they will truly devour him.”

"When that day comes, the last thing the Great Beast God left behind—the things that the orcs in the region are not happy about, and are even somewhat sad about, but are the daily lives that every orc cannot lose—will also be destroyed."

"Then what will be left for the Great Beast God, for the Sandrak clan that once gathered together because of their beliefs, and for those priests who did not despair because of their own weakness, is only the assessment of 'the culprit who caused all the calamities and suffering of today.'"

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, clenched her fists, her eyes bloodshot as if she were recalling that scene, but then she gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"It's somewhat ironic that I, an orc, would say this if I wanted to use the corruption of the Sandrak clan and the Great Beast God priests to weaken the Great Beast God's power so that I could take the opportunity to defeat him."

"It's like saying that defeating the Great Beast God is for the Great Beast God's good. What's the difference between that and those who claim to revere and support the Great Beast God, but actually exploit and erode the Great Beast God's power, like the Sandrak clan and the Great Beast God's priests?"

"It's just nice talk, why can't we say it like that?" Dali Feizhuan suddenly said, crossing his arms and leaning forward with his elbows on the table.

"As long as you do it, it's not just empty talk. As long as what you think, what you say, and what you do are the same, what does it matter if others ridicule or mock you?"

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast Queen, chuckled twice, seemingly disagreeing with the idea of ​​throwing bricks with great force. However, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably. She wouldn't let go of her self-criticism and self-reproach, but the support of her companions gave her a lot of comfort.

She raised her head and said with her chest out.

"In that case, let's make sure our actions, our words, and our thoughts are in harmony."
