Xiao Chen headed towards where the centaurs were destroying their crops, yet again. He brought with him four hundred Tauren Guards who were raring to go, as they seemed to have some bad blood with four hooves. Behind him were also the skirmishing trolls, who were really great at running.

"Wi charge!"

"Wi throw!"

"Wi run!"

"Wi comeback en start all ova again!"

"For dat di way of troll!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the trolls who were merrily chanting their self-created chants and he can't help but be speechless. The trolls caught on with the chanting trend that he made normal with the First Horde. Shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, he just let them be.

The Tauren Guards were just marching ever so silently, but the sound of their heavy hooves hitting the ground did no good in concealing their movements. They had their weapons leaning on their right shoulders as they marched while their right hand gripped the lower shaft of their tremendous weapons. Wearing full armor with only a few of their body parts exposed, they are a mighty army, but their peaceful nature says otherwise.

Along the way, they met some of the farmers and herders who were retreating from the centaurs who were wrecking havoc as they pleased. The farmers and herders of Yohan could fight the centaurs on their own, but they don't have any suitable weapon in hand to take down those fast moving creatures. Centaurs were great runners, and they never stayed in one place for a long time as they keep on galloping away whenever they wanted to. They would just gather together with their kin and charged forward towards their foes in a mighty stampede, then go away before coming back again to deliver another stampede. It was really frustrating and annoying to fight them.

"Hmmm... It seems there are a lot of them than their usual numbers." Xiao Chen scratched his chin as he observed the centaurs running around and trampling their crops. "There should be a Khan among them, right Mohrios?" he glanced towards the tauren to his left. 

"That is for sure... Only a Khan would be able to lead such a big group." Mohrios answered as he too observed the huge number of centaurs present. There are more than four thousand of them, or maybe even five.

"We are at a disadvantage in numbers, and your kin don't possess the same stamina as them. Hmmm... If only we can find their Khan." Xiao Chen absentmindedly muttered while scratching his chin. He was thinking on how to drive the centaurs away with just his few warriors that were with him or, if possible, deliver a mighty whooping that they will remember forever and deter them from ever coming back.

"Should I shower them with what I learned from the troll sages?" Draegh'ana volunteered as she stepped forward and gathered mana in her hands. Xiao Chen quickly grabbed her wrists and lowered them, which caused Draegh'ana to be confused. "And risk setting the entire field ablaze... No thanks." Xiao Chen muttered as he let go of the female orc's hands.

Adhalia giggled just beside Draegh'ana. She was mocking her stupidity in using huge fire related spells in a field that is full of quick to be set ablaze crops. Draegh'ana snorted and ignored the female human who was mocking her. She put both her palms on the ground.

"Spirits guide me, lend me your power, and bring forth what I desire. The ground, the rocks and, with the aid of the stars, bring forth thy creature that I request. Descend and show them your might, Great Bear." Draegh'ana muttered as she focused her mana on her hands, creating a magic circle on the ground. Soil and rocks started rising and became a mound that were over nine feet tall. Slowly, the rocks and soil started forming the figure of a bear. The limbs were the first to take form, followed by the torso, then the head, which roared towards the sky to announce its presence in this world.

An over nine feet tall bear made out of rocks and soil emerged and stood proudly on its hind legs as it roared loudly before falling down to the front and stood on all fours.

"Spirits guide me, lend me your power, and bring forth what I desire. The eastern winds and with the aid of the stars, bring forth thy creature that I request. Descend and let them hear your cry, Akwilah." a magic circle appeared in the middle of the air. Talons came out first from the magic circle, which was like a door. Enormous and sharp talons that gleamed with danger slowly came down as feathers of pure darkness followed afterwards. 

Xiao Chen stared at the creature that was slowly coming out of the magic circle. He had seen the Great Bear before as it was Draegh'ana's first summon, which proved that she was of the Rockbear Tribe, since she would have a very high affinity with the bear. "Aquila, the eagle huh..." he softly muttered.

He was puzzled by the reason why Draegh'ana seek the aid of the stars when summoning her summons and now he finally learned the reason behind it. The Great Bear, which he paid no attention to since he thought that it was because of her tribe that she summoned a bear made out of rocks and soil, but witnessing her summoning Akwilah (Aquila the eagle), everything makes sense now. Her summons is related to the constellations, but it confused him even more about where did she learn about those constellations since they don't exist in this world. The gems of the night and their arrangements in this world are entirely different from the ones that exist in his old world.

Opening its wings, the enormous eagle released an ear-piercing cry that forced Xiao Chen, Adhalia, the taurens and the trolls to cover their ears. It was only Draegh'ana who was unaffected by the loud cry of the gigantic bird that was announcing its presence. It flapped its wings and soared to the sky, circling around right above its master.. Draegh'ana raised her head and stared at the majesty of her new summon, those black feathers that rivals the darkness of a moonless night, those sharp looking talons that scream of death, those gigantic beaks, and that serious gaze on its eyes.
