Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

The dinner arranged by Agum included meat such as Kodos, Chocobos, and Snapjaws, as well as some fruits and mushrooms.

Like quilboar, tauren are omnivores and can eat some meat, but tauren prefer more vegetarian food.

After eating some fruits and mushrooms, Kane said with admiration: "This is indeed an oasis. The fruits and mushrooms produced here are very good. We haven't eaten such high-quality vegetarian food in Desolate Land for a long time!"

Agam said: "These are nothing. If you go to Thunder Bluff, you can buy all kinds of fruits and vegetarian food, apples, berries, grapes, pumpkins, watermelons, and wheat."

Kane asked: "Thunder Bluff? What is that place?"

Agum said: "It is a great city, located on several large stone mountains in the Mulgore grasslands. There, all races can live in harmony, and a variety of products can be bought."

Kane found it amazing when he heard this, because in the Desolace before, or in the Stonetalon Mountains he just passed by, all races were in a state of hostility, but the Mulgore Steppes was actually peaceful.

More importantly, Mulgore is a grassland, which makes Kane a little fascinated.

Seeing this, Agam said, "You can also go to Thunder Bluff if you have a chance. The leader, Lord Varian, is a generous and wise human prince."

At this time, Varian had already seen the Tauren residing in the Oasis of the Forgotten Pool through the griffin's vision.

He knew the tauren would definitely come to Thunder Bluff to visit.

They may even try to settle on this land.

But where should these minotaurs be placed?

Varian's previous idea was to let the Tauren attack the Kolkar Centaur and seize the three oases in the Barrens.

But now the three oases are occupied by Death's Head Boarmen and Steel-brisled Boarmen. Now they are all friendly camps and it is difficult to rob them.

After thinking it over again, Varian decided to let them into Mulgore Grasslands. There weren't too many Tauren anyway. He let them go to the Red Cloud Terrace in the southernmost part of Mulgore Grasslands, which is near the Na'jira Camp in the game, and let them be neighbors with the Thornback Boarmen in the Thornblade Gorge.

These Tauren are strong and healthy, and are excellent laborers whether for mining or logging. The Mogaore Grassland does not have to worry about not being able to support the labor force.

Sure enough, two days later, the Tauren Chieftain Cairne, accompanied by the druid leader Hamuul, old Chief Moon, the shaman Magatha, and two hundred Tauren soldiers, visited Thunder Bluff.

Varian met with Chief Cain in the castle hall.

After some greetings and self-introductions, Chief Cain said, "Before I came here, I heard the boarman Agrum talk about the prosperity of Thunder Bluff. I didn't expect that the prosperity of Thunder Bluff far exceeded my imagination. We Tauren admire it very much."

Varian said, "The prosperity here is the result of the efforts of all races. Look at the trade teams outside. There are humans, harpies, quilboars, and gnolls. I believe you also saw many caravans of other races on your way here. Peace and openness are the principles of Thunder Bluff. We also welcome the Tauren to join the trade of Thunder Bluff and prosper and become rich together."

Kane said: "We are happy to do business with Thunder Bluff, but we Tauren are now homeless, so we can't do much trade."

Varian turned around and picked up a map, unfolded it on the table, and said, "This is Mulgore Grasslands. The entire grassland is under my protection. If you don't attack other races indiscriminately, then I can arrange for you to live in Mulgore."

This sudden surprise almost made Chief Cain drop his jaw in shock. He said happily, "Really? That's great, Lord Varian. Please believe that the Tauren are a peace-loving race and will never start a war without reason."

Varian pointed at the map and said, "Okay! Then you Tauren can live on the Red Cloud Terrace. The land there is fertile, the grass is green, and it is also very close to Stone Ox Lake. You can set up camp there."

Chief Cain looked at the map and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Varian! You are a great benefactor to us Tauren."

Varian said, "You're welcome. I see that you have many strong people. If you have spare labor, you can apply for jobs in various places in Thunder Bluff. You can be a lumberjack, miner, breeder, or porter, and slowly accumulate wealth."

Chief Kane said, "Yes, Lord Varian!"

Chief Kane and the minotaurs beside him felt as if they were in another world at this moment.

A few days ago, they were being hunted by the Centaurs, but today they are ready to settle down and live a peaceful life.

They, the Tauren, had suffered so much that they could not believe that one day they would be able to settle down on a rich and beautiful grassland.

Moreover, there is almost no war in this land. How can the Tauren, who have suffered so much from the war, not be happy?

Of course, as expected, Varian prepared a sumptuous banquet for these tauren.

The Tauren were so excited to eat grapes, apples, berries, and watermelons from the Eastern Kingdoms for the first time.

This was better than anything they had eaten in Desolace before, and what had they eaten before?

There are also various kinds of liquor, such as wine, rum, and morning dew wine. They are so delicious.

The Tauren's favorable impression of Varian, who treated them so warmly, instantly increased.

Little did they know that arranging banquets was just a routine operation for Varian.

On the one hand, it is due to Varian's generosity towards friendly camps, and on the other hand, it is to use more delicious food to attract them to consume and encourage them to work hard for enjoyment.

After the banquet, Varian led the Tauren leaders to visit the military forces in Thunder Bluff.

There were various types of soldiers, including soldiers of other races, even Pegasus and unicorns, which surprised the Minotaur very much.

After visiting the military troops, Varian took them to visit the market in Thunder Bluff.

In the market, the Minotaur saw a wide variety of products from all over the world and was so shocked that he was speechless.

Varian also took Chief Cain to the mount shop and arranged a royal griffin for the Tauren Chieftain to try out.

Cain had never seen a griffin before and was very curious. Under Varian's guidance, he fed the griffin a piece of cheese and then jumped onto the griffin.

The Minotaur was too big, and the griffin clearly paused. It was too heavy, and the griffin must have been complaining in his mind at this moment.
