Green Monster Epic

Listening to Philip's detailed account, Alan could imagine how intense the battle in the village had been.

"How are Flower Snake and the others' injuries?"

After listening to the account, Alan asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Their injuries have stabilized. After Mauro and the others returned, they used healing potions and scrolls on Flower Snake and the others. They should recover completely in about a month."

"How many people died in the village? How many were injured?"

"Including Dajiang, we lost 7 warriors and 5 females this time; as for the injured, 4 have been confirmed to be disabled. Their arms or calves were smashed into meat patties, and there was no way to save them. The others are okay. Basically, with the potions Mauro and the others brought back, many can walk on the ground."

Alan felt a little frustrated. He originally thought that going out would improve the tribe's strength, but he never thought it would weaken it instead. The death of the clansmen, led by Dajiang, caused a ripple in his heart. He even felt that he shouldn't have gone out this time. If he had been in the village, it was unlikely that the other party would have been so bold as to attack his tribe, and there would be no current situation.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in Alan's heart, and then his eyes swept towards Salu on the side. At this time, Salu was looking around this seemingly well-planned village with curious eyes, and occasionally responded to the goblins staring at him with a friendly smile.

Sensing Alan's gaze, Salu turned his head and sent an inquiring look.

"Let me introduce you, this orc is called Salu Fal. He will be living in our village for a while. Chahua, after you go down, tell the clansmen not to have disputes with him."

Alan first introduced Salu to Chahua, Philip, and the others, and then continued: "Chahua, take Salu to my house to sit for a while, and then find someone to prepare a room for him."

"Salu, wait for me in my house first. I'll go see my clansmen and come back later to talk to you about something."

"Okay, Mr. Salu, this way please."

Chahua used the etiquette she learned from humans to lead Salu away from the entrance of the village and towards the slightly fixed place. Salu was still calm. Since the other party's village kept humans, it meant that there were still some rules in their village, so he nodded to Alan and followed the female hobgoblin up the mountain.

After sending Salu away, Alan walked towards the wooden house in the village where the three old people were placed. Philip behind him quickly followed, and the other clansmen spontaneously returned to their respective posts and began their reconstruction work. Usually, if anyone in the village was injured or felt uncomfortable, they would go to the old people to check their injuries. Over time, Alan simply mobilized manpower to build a two-story wooden house for the old people on the mountainside. The three old people lived on the first floor for easy movement, and they could also decoct some potions. The second floor became a place for seriously injured people to recuperate.

"How is it, Flower Snake?"

On the way, Alan saw Flower Snake and Axiu, who were supporting the railing on the second floor and looking this way, from a distance. When he got closer, he laughed loudly and asked Flower Snake and the others.

"It's okay, at least I won't die."

Flower Snake smiled, but it seemed to affect the wound, and the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

"What about you, Axiu?"

"Well, I'm fine. Clan leader, I didn't embarrass you this time!!"

When Axiu saw Alan come to visit him, the smile on his face was as bright as the sun in the sky, and at the same time, he did not forget to boast about his heroic act of desperately intercepting the boulder before.

"Well, you did a good job this time. I'll reward you with something good in a few days."

Alan nodded. He was indeed a little touched by Axiu's desperate fight this time. The fighting spirit of the clansmen also made Alan look at them with admiration. After so many casualties, everyone still did not collapse, which Alan did not expect. It seems that the changes that Philip and Alan secretly made before have indeed changed the mentality of the clansmen. Perhaps if they continue to persevere like this, the morale of the entire tribe will undergo a qualitative change.

"What is it?"

Axiu was overjoyed and asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes. The most important thing for you now is to recuperate."

Alan kept him in suspense and did not elaborate, which made Axiu scratch his head anxiously.

Afterwards, Alan walked around the wounded beds upstairs, greeted the injured clansmen one by one, and learned about everyone's recovery from Uncle Tam and the others. He also comforted the few people who were bound to be disabled and told them not to worry about their future life problems.

In the past, if there were disabilities in the tribe's infighting, as long as it affected his real combat effectiveness, he would mostly be abandoned by the tribe. However, since Philip told Alan a lot about the practices of the civilized world and the impact of these practices, Alan, in front of many clansmen, wrote the rule of never abandoning the clansmen who were disabled for fighting for the tribe into the many rules of the village, and it was still one of the most important regulations at the forefront, so that the people in the tribe would recite them all and keep them in their hearts.

After walking around the village again, looking at the places that were destroyed in the tribe, and the situation of the two gray dwarves who were brought back with great difficulty, Alan slowly returned to his stone house.

"The three things I promised to help you with before, do they still count?"

When Alan returned to the room, Salu was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely resting in Alan's room. When he saw Alan come back, he sat back in his proper position.

"...Of course it counts. Why don't we set up the contract now?"

When Salu heard Alan ask this, he knew that the other party was probably looking for him to do something. After quickly thinking about it, he finally made the final decision.

"Okay."

Alan nodded. Fortunately, Philip was also there. With his help in planning, the matter of formulating the contract progressed faster. Half an hour later, Alan and Salu had two more contracts in hand.

After the contract was signed, Alan finally said the first thing he wanted Salu to do: "The first thing I want you to do is to help me assassinate the elder of the Shattered Bone Tribe, Shatterer."

"Ah?"

Salu was startled at first, and then quickly returned to normal: "I need to know the other party's strength before I can answer whether this matter can be done."

"As far as I know, Shatterer is a fire-based dragon vein warlock. His spellcasting level should be around level 10, because I have fought against him. The power of his strongest spell should be at the 5th level."

Alan has done a lot of research on Shatterer, and he has killed the other party countless times in his heart, but he has never had the opportunity or the strength.

"Level 10 dragon vein warlock?"

Salu calculated in his mind. Shadow Warrior is another advancement of the thief. Although he does not have effective skills related to stealth such as the assassin's silence and wind breaking, he still has no problem with basic stealth abilities. Moreover, Shadow Warrior is also one of the few thief advancements that can face enemies head-on without falling behind. It can be considered one of the few advancements that can restrain spellcasting professions.

Of course, this so-called restraint is only based on actual skills. If the spellcaster is prepared, they are really not afraid of any professional of the same level.

"Okay, I promise you, but I can't guarantee that the assassination will be successful."

Salu's affirmative response made Alan's heart rejoice. Shatterer has brought so much trouble to the Green Field Tribe, and now it is time to repay the other party with a great gift. Even if it is not successful this time, it is expected that the other party will restrain himself in the short term with this assassination as a warning.
