Green Monster Epic

Chapter 290: Licking Wounds

Green Lake Village was in a state of disarray. The buildings at the foot of the western mountain were completely destroyed. Fortunately, this area used to be a slave residential area and was mostly vacant now, so everyone wasn't too heartbroken.

In the past, the clansmen always felt that Alan was making a big fuss with the high walls of rough stone buildings. The native tribes in the Green Wild Plains didn't do this! But now, after experiencing a war, everyone couldn't help but rejoice at how correct Alan's decision was: If it were still the crude walls built with logs and branches like before, the damage to the village this time would probably not be what it is now.

However, even with the sturdy stone walls helping the Green Wild Tribe's goblin warriors withstand the fierce demon attacks, after everyone cleaned up the battlefield after the war, almost every household had a look of sorrow on their faces.

Of the tribe's more than 300 main combatants, over 80 died in this defensive battle, and the losses of the more than 200 short goblin warriors who served as auxiliary combat forces were also over 70.

After the demons subsequently broke into the village, the clansmen, under the organization of Camellia and Philip, launched a counterattack. Although they stopped the demons from wreaking havoc in the village, the price was that over 20 women, children, and elderly people in the village died in battle, and dozens were injured.

Pain and regret flowed in Alan's eyes, but it couldn't be seen at all on his face. Standing on the high wall, he shouted loudly: "Look, these demons are nothing great. In front of our Green Wild Tribe warriors, they still run away with their tails between their legs! ! !"

"Green Wild is mighty! ! !"

"Mighty! !"

The clansmen below were emotionally excited and echoed Alan's shouts. For a time, the morale in the village was shaken, and emotions such as pride and honor appeared on the faces of these goblin species.

"If the demons attack again next time, do you have the confidence to defend your homeland? ?"

"Yes! !"

"If the demons come to kill us, what are you going to do? ?"

"Chop them to death! !"

"Yes, kill them! ! !"

"… …"

Morale was available. A sudden village-breaking battle did not make the goblins of Green Lake Village lose their souls. On the contrary, this war made the hearts of the entire village more cohesive.

After the war, the village square was filled with the corpses of the dead warriors. If it were the Green Wild Tribe in the past, these dead clansmen might have directly become everyone's food for the next few meals. But now, with enough food, the goblins' habit of eating people has gradually changed.

If it is not a last resort, who would be willing to treat the corpses of their familiar relatives and friends as food?

Absorbing the human customs described by Philip, Alan decided to cremate all the corpses of the fallen clansmen this time, and bury the ashes by the Green Lake outside the village, together with the stone graves. Then, on the ashes of the fallen warriors, Alan would build a stone tablet, engraving the names of the clansmen who had sacrificed for the tribe over the years, so that future clansmen would always remember the contributions and sacrifices their ancestors had made to the tribe.

Uniting the hearts of the clansmen is a long-term and arduous task. If you want to become a powerful tribe, the hearts of the people are an extremely important thing. For this reason, Alan had consulted Philip, Ferro, and other wise men countless times. The results were not all the same, but many simple and subtle methods of behavior could effectively make up for the weak tribal concept of the wilderness natives.

For example, now, Alan's behavior of burying the fallen warriors of the tribe and erecting a monument for them, and for example, in the next few years, the Green Wild Tribe would do its best to take care of the relatives and bloodlines left behind by the fallen warriors, especially their children.

These actions may not be completely effective, but at least the living clansmen in the tribe will be able to see and feel it, so when the village and tribe have wars in the future, they will have fewer scruples and worries, and they will naturally fight more vigorously.

Alan deeply believed that living in fixed family units was the wisest decision he had made. When a male goblin has a long-term partner, when a little goblin who continues his bloodline is born and grows up little by little under his nose, intimately chasing him and worshiping him, it will eventually create a strong sense of responsibility and bond in a male's heart.

This may be the biggest difference between intelligent races and beasts.

Green Lake Village, shrouded in grief, quickly returned to its inherent track. The clansmen in the village continued to do their work in an orderly manner, but there were a few less casual faces and a few more heavy and hardworking faces. Although the demons were driven away by the goblin warriors, the remaining number when the other party fled, and the dark, mountain-like cavalry, made the goblins in the village feel an invisible pressure.

No one knew whether the fleeing demons would come back, and whether the army would be stronger when they returned.

Alan was also full of worries, because according to legend, demons should be creatures living in the bottomless abyss. Why did they appear in the wilderness?

He found Irene and solemnly handed a letter to Irene, asking her to take it to Thornsburg and give it to Priest Clay or Master Philip of Thornsburg. The Natural God System has always been hostile to abyssal creatures. Abyssal creatures are inherently chaotic and like to destroy, which for the Natural God System, which is committed to maintaining the balance of nature, the abyss is a natural mortal enemy. Over the years, the evil god believers who have appeared in the wilderness from time to time will always be found out by the terrestrial believers of the Natural God System who patrol the wilderness and be wiped out one by one.

Alan hoped to pass on the news that abyssal demons had appeared in the Green Wild Plains, and the Oak Temple would send people to support after learning about this situation. After all, it took Alan all his strength to kill a Feller, but the other party only had a few hundred demon troops. If the demon army is stronger, then the strength of the commander who is in charge will definitely be stronger. What will Alan use to confront them at that time!

Rely on this group of clansmen who have lost nearly 1/3 of their strength?

This is the elite that he, Alan, spent a full ten years cultivating. Such an attack by the demon army even made Alan feel more heartbroken and angry than he almost died in the conspiracy of the Bone Breaker.

"You also saw this time that our tribe suffered great losses, so I can only let you go to Thornsburg alone."

This was the first time Alan had let the little girl Irene act alone. The aftermath of the demon's attack had not subsided, and Alan couldn't send a team to Thornsburg so far away, which was really worrying. Therefore, he could only entrust this matter to Irene, who had the ability to hide, to help him deliver the letter, and by the way, send the supplies that Linnaeus needed for the next few months. Alan was not prepared to send a team to travel far in a short time, unless the source of the demons was blocked.

"Yes, Chief Uncle, please rest assured and leave it to me! !"

Irene nodded, her eyes full of perseverance. This time, she also personally killed several demons, which had a great impact on her weak personality. But she also knew the current situation in the village. She was very willing to do anything that could help Chief Uncle and the uncles in the village.

"Remember, you must personally hand this letter to Priest Clay of the Oak Temple, or Master Oscar!"

The Green Wild Tribe has an extremely good relationship with Clay. Over the years, almost all the clansmen of the Green Wild Tribe have converted to the glory of the Father of the Oak Tree and become his ordinary believers. Clay, who accepted thousands of goblins into the church, has also received a lot of meritorious rewards. As for Master Philip, needless to say, even though he has become a legend, as a natural healer who has been promoted to legend, Master Philip, who is crowned with the 'Rhythm of Nature', still travels around the Tagan Desert all year round, planting and grazing grasslands and forests, curbing the expansion of the Tagan Desert.

Whenever he has free time, Philip will come to Green Lake Village to rest for a while, and by the way, taste the newly created dishes in the village, which is a wonderful embellishment in the master's indifferent wilderness life.

Alan believed that as long as these two received his letter, they would definitely find a way to help them, which was more reassuring than handing the letter to other priests and leaders of the temple.

A fledgling eagle will eventually spread its wings and fly high. Alan watched the figure of the girl Irene slowly disappear into the wilderness, his heart filled with worry and emotion, and at the same time, he sincerely prayed for the girl's journey.

In the village, the new generation of teenagers finally grew up rapidly after experiencing a test of blood and fire. Koer, the leader among these teenagers, now has less of the arrogance and smile of the past on his face, and more of a calm and solemn expression.

Several partners who had grown up together since childhood were torn apart by demons in this defense battle, and even one partner couldn't find most of his body, leaving only a bare head. Koer, Shisheng, and the other young partners personally found this fallen partner's head from the pile of corpses, and then, with a few crystal tears, gently cleaned the stains on the partner's face, and then placed it in the village square to be burned into ashes together with the other fallen clansmen.

Several times, Koer secretly hid in his room and cried silently. His heart was filled with confusion and fear when recalling the moment of life and death after the war, as well as remorse and grief for his mistakes that caused the innocent death of his companions. All kinds of emotions were suppressed in his heart, making the girl Koer's thoughts mature faster and begin to bear the responsibilities that a Green Wild Tribe clansman needs to bear.

Every morning after the war, Koer became the first person to arrive at the square; while exercising himself, Koer did not forget to stare at the exercises of the partners around him. As long as he found someone whose movements were not standard or wanted to be lazy, he would get a brain bump or scolding from Koer, making the partners' exercises more serious and careful.

Of course, the tribe also had other gains after a great war. Shisheng, Shusheng, Bush and other young leaders found opportunities for breakthrough in the life-and-death fight.

Perhaps bear goblins and earth goblins, as natural fighting races, their promotion is often closely related to fighting. Following Shisheng's advancement to Berserker, Shusheng and Bush also advanced in the following half month, making up for the number of mid-level warriors who had just died in the tribe.
