Green Monster Epic

#1074 - Thunder Fortress

The wealth obtained from getting rich overnight ultimately became the fee to get the signatures of the Popes of several churches to sign their True Names, and was sent with the rolling traffic to the distant South.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel the pain. If the tribe could make good use of this enormous wealth, then it would inevitably raise the tribe's power to a higher level. At the very least, it could allow the tribe's population to increase by at least two or three hundred thousand in the time of one generation of goblins, and it could also arm an army of hundreds of thousands from head to toe.

However, all of this had become fleeting, a wedding dress made for others.

But when Allen accompanied the fully loaded vehicles south, and under the witness of Mansha City's City Lord and the Kobold Saint, Da Vinci, signed the pact of peaceful coexistence with the Popes of the Eight Great Churches, and posted copies to show the countless aborigines of the wilderness, Allen felt that everything was worthwhile.

The greatest hidden worry in his heart was now guaranteed by the existence of this document. Although Allen knew very well that the other party had actually left a way out, and that the remaining churches that had not signed could launch an attack on Green Field in the name of their own churches at any time, the current situation was much better than having to face the entire Temple of Nature before.

Moreover, with the existence of this pact, those members of the wilderness tribes who had been wavering would now have their own ideas. I believe that the Thorns Ring team will soon usher in new members, and the expansion trend of the Northern Territory power circle will also be opened up.

Not long after the pact of peaceful coexistence was announced in the wilderness, the Thorns Allied Forces finally went north to the front line again, cutting off the trade route that had been painstakingly reopened with the Elven Kingdom, and re-stationed their troops a hundred miles away from the Thorns Fort front line, making a full show of force.

After decades of continuous replacement, the Thorns Allied Forces, which once had a scale of more than 300,000 troops, now only have a little over 150,000. However, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the strength of this army of 150,000 is definitely greater than that of the original army of more than 300,000.

Whether it is from the combat literacy of the army officers and soldiers, or from the armament of their standard equipment, the Northern Territory has been completely renewed in these decades, and with the continuous investment of a large amount of resources and manpower, it has managed to maintain such a powerful army with the strength of several races.

Not to mention anything else, just take the heavy cavalry regiment of 10,000 in the Allied Forces. The 'Rock' heavy armor worn by all the soldiers, including their warhorses, was purchased from the hands of dwarf craftsmen at a huge cost. It not only provides superior dual defensive performance, but also reduces the burden on the warhorses and cavalry soldiers. The result of actual combat was that one charge crushed the main vanguard of an elven army detachment, thereby creating a dawn of victory for the subsequent infantry regiment.

You must know that when the elven army detachment of 10,000 invaded the Green Field Plains, Green Field can be said to have fought with all its might to have that glimmer of hope. Now, facing the same elven detachment of 10,000, the Allied Forces only needed one charge from the heavy cavalry regiment to secure the victory.

Moreover, in addition to this 10,000 heavy cavalry, the Allied Forces also have 10,000 wolf cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry. Although this scale and strength of the cavalry regiment cannot be considered unique in the entire wilderness, apart from the three centaur royal courts being able to pull out such a cavalry regiment, only a few of the churches of the Temple can pull out such an army.

This was also a bargaining chip that Allen had prepared in advance, to be used as a force to counter the Temple's legions in the future. For this reason, he had many meetings and discussions with the other leaders of the Thorns Ring to obtain their support.

"... I didn't expect that Your Excellency Allen would eventually succeed."

The Drow Matron Mother Penny Lai from the Drow Federation rarely appeared in Green Lake City in person to offer the blessings of the Federation and the deities behind them to Allen.

The Hothia Federation has also been in a very awkward situation in recent years. It has finally eased relations with the various races in the North, but unexpectedly, it has become at odds with the Temple of Nature due to Allen's own pursuits, and the two sides have fallen into an unspeakable opposition.

As outsiders, it is not easy for the Drow of the Hothia Federation to gain a foothold in the surface world. Not only are there elves as their mortal enemies, bringing great malice and pressure, but also the indigenous people of the wilderness with malicious eyes.

To deal with the elves, a powerful and terrifying opponent, the Drow must unite with the indigenous people of the wilderness and work together to fight the elves. But to gain a foothold in the wilderness, they have to obey the arrangements of the Mother God and ally with the Natural Church of the Temple of Nature, so that they can have a strong backer in the wilderness.

In the past, the Natural Church could also serve as a lubricant between the Drow and the indigenous people of the wilderness, with them persuading and guiding the relationship between the two sides to ease, thereby eliminating the hatred caused by occupying the territory of the indigenous people of the wilderness.

As Green Field fell into opposition with the Temple of Nature, their Federation also lost the relationship they had just maintained, and was directly excluded from the Thorns Ring's meetings in these decades, and could not have good communication with the various races of the North.

However, Matron Mother Penny Lai and others were also sensible. When the Northern Territory deliberately snubbed them, they did not take the initiative to provoke them. Instead, they continued to manage their territory as they were, and sent a request to the Dwarf Kingdom through the Temple's channels, and migrated many more Drow and vassals from the underground, making up for the losses of the last war with the elves and strengthening a lot of strength.

Unless the Temple of Nature finally makes a decision and takes action as a result, the Drow Matron Mothers are unlikely to rashly reveal their attitude and put themselves in a difficult situation.

Now that they have finally seen the light of day, the announcement of the True Name Pact of the Popes of the Eight Great Churches and the Pact of Peaceful Coexistence with the Green Field Tribe may seem like nothing to outsiders, but in the eyes of people like Matron Mother Penny Lai, it is enough to explain many things, so they have taken advantage of the situation to start moving around with the Green Field Tribe again.

The first thing to do is naturally to visit Allen, the goblin leader of the Green Field, who has just returned from Mansha City with the original copy of the pact. Only after obtaining the other party's goodwill and affirmation can their Federation reintegrate into the Northern Territory.

"Yes, we have paid a lot for this piece of parchment!"

Allen sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"It's always worth it. From now on, at least the road ahead of you will no longer be coveted or spied on by those unsightly guys."

"Hehe."

"Our Lord has issued an oracle, asking me to tell you: the promises made to you before are still valid. As long as you need it, Our Lord is willing to help you ascend to the throne of God."

"Thank you for the Spider Queen's kindness, but I am still far from the throne of God, and the final destination of the future road is unknown. I am afraid it will be difficult to see the moment when the Spider Queen's divine power descends on the Feyman world."

Facing the goodwill conveyed by the Spider Queen, Allen only felt a chilling sensation in his heart, and hurriedly declined euphemistically. He had not considered the other party's proposal when he was facing difficulties before, and now that the situation is gradually improving, he no longer has the need to get involved with the Spider Queen.

“Who can guarantee what will happen in the future? I only hope you remember, Your Excellency, that my Lord and the Hochia Federation are willing to fight for you!!”

Penny Lai didn't press further, covering her mouth with a charming laugh, exuding indescribable allure and tenderness, but Alan felt nothing as he looked at her.

“Hahaha, well said.”

After some pleasantries between the two Northern Territory powerhouses, they finally put aside their previous defenses and returned to the best relationship they once had. After all, Alan was well aware that relying solely on the strength of the six Northern Territory tribes—oh, no, it should be seven tribes—was not enough to contend with the Elven Kingdom. He still needed to unite the forces of the Hochia Federation to maintain the security of the frontier.

The Heart of the Wild ogre tribe finally officially submitted their documents to become a formal member. With Alan, the number one powerhouse in the Northern Territory, supporting them from behind, they obtained the alliance's approval with hardly any ripples. After completing a task that wasn't too difficult, they finally became the 115th formal member of the Mansa Alliance, following the Hochia Federation.

Having completed his mission, the former chieftain of the Heart of the Wild, Nicol, could finally close his eyes peacefully, without regrets.

The new leader of the Heart of the Wild tribe is Nathaniel Gunt, a legendary berserker who had recently been promoted within the tribe. He is also a new generation of ogre raised under the Greenwild tribe's educational system. Long influenced by the Greenwild tribe's culture and power, the Heart of the Wild tribe has now become a force like the Snowme and Raven's Claw, a staunch ally and follower of the Greenwild tribe.

This also meant that, within the Thorns Ring organization, apart from the outlier Hochia, four of the seven tribe seats were closely united. Even if the other three tribes were unwilling deep down, they couldn't contend with Alan, the strongest in the wilderness, and could only compromise, walking hand in hand with the Greenwild four tribes.

Fortunately, the Greenwild chieftain acted magnanimously and fairly enough. Following behind him, everyone had received a share of the benefits. Not only had they not suffered losses, but the strength of their tribes had also increased in recent years, naturally making them even more willing to side with Greenwild.

“…If possible, I also hope that the Federation can bring along the followers of the Lady of Shadows when relocating our subterranean brethren. What do you think?”

Although he had to put aside his prejudices against the Drow, Alan had his own conditions.

“Hehe, Alan, Your Excellency, how can you say that? The Lady of Shadows is, after all, a deity related to my Lord. Even if you hadn't spoken, we would have been willing to lend a hand. It's just that the Lady's followers are secretive, and we don't know where they are hiding. If they want to come to the surface through the passage, they will have to discuss a suitable meeting point with us, and then we will naturally send people to meet them.”

Penny Lai's eyes sparkled, seemingly unfazed by Alan's sudden proposal.

“Then I won't trouble Matriarch Penny Lai. Please open the city defenses of Coldwind Ridge and Bonn City in ten days. That will naturally be helping us!!”

Alan smiled slightly, but his words instantly made the smile on Penny Lai's face freeze, and a cold light flashed deep in her eyes.

“…Hehe, so Your Excellency was waiting for me here!!”

The stiff expression was only fleeting, and then Penny Lai looked at Alan with a sweet smile again.

“This matter is ultimately something we did somewhat wrong, allowing the Lady's followers to mix into your group migrating to the surface without notifying you.”

“But everything has two sides. Matriarch, you might as well think of the good side: the path taken by those heretics who have infiltrated your ranks is ultimately different from yours. Rather than letting them stay in your ranks and potentially undermine your unity at any time, it's better to let them leave and purify your ranks.”

“At the same time, this will also allow you to gain the gratitude of the Northern Territory, and also mine, Alan Witt, a great thing!!”

Alan was standing up for the dark elves of Corima Town this time, asking the Drow for the dark elf companions who had infiltrated the migrating Drow ranks over the years. This was both to show goodwill to the Lady of Shadows behind the dark elves and to continue to divide the relationship between the Drow and the dark elves.

In any case, the Drow and the various tribes of the Northern Territory were not on the same path. Although they were standing together at this time because of a common enemy, the differences in their paths and the competition for ultimate interests would eventually lead them to hostility at some point in the future.

“What Your Excellency said is not without reason, but how can we be sure that all of those Lady's followers hidden in our ranks will really leave??

No matter how beautifully Penny Lai put it, she was actually scolding dirty words in her heart. Her clansmen, who had worked so hard to migrate from the underground, had actually been mixed with many traitors. Since the other party had asked for mercy, the number must be quite large. If the Mother Goddess knew about these things, then with Her personality, she would probably inflict some punishment on herself and others.

But she couldn't refuse Alan's request. The other party's current strength had already surpassed the Drow Federation. Not to mention anything else, just the strength of the army stationed on the front line was something that the regular Drow Federation army couldn't win against.

Moreover, there was also the seven-tribe alliance with a population of over five million in the south. As long as they were willing, they could mobilize a million soldiers and arm them, posing a de facto threat to the Hochia Federation, whose population had just exceeded one million.

“Since we have made things clear today, we are naturally prepared to gather all the dark elf compatriots hidden among you. As for whether you believe it or not, Matriarch, that's up to you.”

Alan was very frank. The Corima dark elves lived within the Greenwild tribe's sphere of influence, but they still worked hard to maintain their independence. At this time, his actions were of great help to the dark elves, and it could be said that he was strengthening the power of their race, giving them a stronger foundation to maintain their current independent status.

However, with Alan's current position, as well as the Greenwild tribe's own strength and development, he no longer needed to care about the Corima dark elves' growing strength. At least in Alan's view, the other party's development was far from the Greenwild tribe's development speed, so why should he worry that the other party's growth would threaten the Greenwild tribe's existence?

Moreover, he really wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Lady of Shadows behind the dark elves. If he could learn the secrets about the gods from her, or get her help, then that would naturally be even better.

“…We will open the city gates as promised in ten days.”

“Before that, I also hope that you, Matriarch, will not take any other actions that may cause misunderstandings. The foundation of our peaceful coexistence must not be shaken.”

“…I understand.”
