Green Monster Epic
#353 - New Visitors
Flower Snake left. Half a year after the legendary destruction event in the tribe, he had healed his injuries and settled his family members like Sand Pear and Cardamom. He left Green Lake Village alone in the dead of night, without alarming anyone.
It wasn't until the next day, when Cardamom knocked on the gate of Allen's Stone Fort and handed him a letter written by Flower Snake, that Allen learned Flower Snake had gone on a journey.
"Heh, that guy, is he really afraid that I would try to keep him? He didn't even let me see him off!"
Allen shook his head. In the letter, Flower Snake only mentioned that he was going to the southern front, and the rest was just about asking Allen to take care of Cardamom and the others, with no important information.
Subsequently, the news of Flower Snake's departure from the village and his distant travels reached the ears of Black Head, Tony, and the others. The five of them were shocked. Although they had been mentally prepared and had been trying hard to persuade Flower Snake to stay, they couldn't help but feel like they had lost their backbone when Flower Snake actually left.
Now that Flower Snake had gone on a journey, Allen had fewer concerns and began to redistribute the power in the village.
This wasn't Allen being two-faced; it was just that Allen had to consider Flower Snake's reputation and authority before, so he naturally couldn't easily change his arrangements. However, it would be impossible to say that Allen had no dissatisfaction. For example, more than 2/3 of the middle-level leaders in the village were kobolds, which was somewhat unstable.
In terms of merit and talent, kobolds are indeed the most capable assistants in the village's daily food supply because they are diligent in labor and good at learning. Many things would genuinely become a mess without them. However, a tribal leader sometimes cannot ignore the value of other branches just because their contributions are relatively low, especially in a world like the wilderness where strength is paramount. Relying solely on kobolds will never lead to strength.
At least, with the current abilities and methods, kobolds can be reused, but they must never become the mainstream.
In trepidation, Tony was stripped of his position in charge of the tribe's accounts and statistics, which was returned to Camellia. However, all of Tony's other powers remained unchanged. Black Head's hunting team management authority was also divided and handed over to Cardamom, the young girl, leaving him only with the authority over the defense and security of Green Lake Village.
However, old-timers like Pava奥 and Dasha were not recalled to the village but remained at the mine and Raging Tides Bay outposts.
Flower Snake stumbled upon something that should be considered a lucky accident, and that is his arrangement for Pava奥 and the others, which, in the long run, is of great benefit to the tribe.
Pava奥, Maoro, Dasha, and the others, the youngest of whom, Dasha, is now over 40, which is considered the most vigorous period of energy and physical strength among the bear goblins, but at the same time, they have begun to decline, and their future prospects are not very good. Pava奥 and Maoro are older, with Pava奥 being 54 years old now. Their physical strength has long passed its peak, and their movements are not as agile as before when fighting.
These guys, along with Allen, have built the Green Field Tribe into what it is today, with no small amount of credit and hard work. However, as the tribe has developed to its current state, their talents and knowledge have become obstacles to the tribe's development.
After all, not everyone is like Allen, constantly learning new knowledge and constantly seeking. Pava奥's and the others' early experiences and lives have left them with great deficiencies in their knowledge base and personality development. When the tribe was weak, they could still be competent in their current jobs, but as the tribe expanded, their shortcomings became apparent.
Power is a good thing, and it is also something that can be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Not everyone can be as free and easy as Flower Snake. When they have tasted the taste of power, when they want to become privileged classes and have their relatives and descendants inherit their inheritance, various contradictions and hidden dangers begin to arise in the tribe.
Fortunately, during Allen's absence, Flower Snake, out of the needs of the tribe's development, drove Pava奥, Dasha, and the other old guys who couldn't keep up with the pace to remote outposts, which can be regarded as clearing up a lot of trouble for Allen, while also attracting the hatred of these few people.
The new generation, such as Cardamom, Stoneborn, and the others, are gradually growing up. Whether it is from the perspective of knowledge, cognition, or style of doing things, these young people have surpassed Pava奥 and the other old people. The only thing they lack is some experience.
For the sake of the tribe's future and to cultivate more talents, it is time for Cardamom, Stoneborn, Treesprout, and the other young people to gradually take over Pava奥's and the others' positions. The alternation of the old and the new is originally a natural cycle and the unchanging law of cultural inheritance, and Allen doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. It's just that, for Allen, Maoro and Dasha are old people who have followed him for a long time and have always been loyal and hardworking to Allen and the tribe. If Flower Snake hadn't rearranged and dispatched their positions, if Allen were in the position of chief, he might not have been able to bear to send them to the mines and Raging Tides Bay.
"However, this guy wants to travel, but he doesn't even learn from me and take a group of young people from the tribe out for a walk!"
Allen could speak ill of Flower Snake without any scruples, but Philip, who was beside him, didn't dare to say anything about it and just lowered his head in silence.
Philip has changed a lot. He suffered a lot in Green Lake Village in his early years by pretending to be crazy and foolish. In addition, he is now over 60 years old and has entered old age, so there are many more wrinkles on his face, and there are also many gray hairs in his original reddish-brown hair.
Compared to when he liked to play some clever tricks and occasionally had a bit of arrogance from a human nobleman, the current Philip is undoubtedly more calm, and his temperament has lost some of his restlessness. Standing next to Allen, he is like a silent stone.
"By the way, the river channel diversion you mentioned needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Since there was no one to respond to his complaints about Flower Snake, it seemed a bit boring, so Allen could only bring the topic back.
"This contains improved alfalfa seeds that I exchanged from the temple at a great cost. Now I'm giving it to you. You and that brat Tom should hurry up and determine the location of the pasture and the river channel diversion, so that I can cooperate with your project."
No one would have thought that Allen, who had been promoted to legend, would now have to be used as a coolie with his powerful strength. Things that require a lot of labor, such as changing river channels and excavating useless mountains, are now all left to Allen, who has tremendous destructive power.
Who told the tribe to be short of labor now!
Something like changing the river course, if Allen uses his legendary power to destroy the terrain, the main project can be roughly completed in at most one day; but if the tribe sends people to excavate, not to mention the need to deploy a large number of people, the construction period will take at least several months to complete.
After others are promoted to legend, they will mostly raise their own value and disdain to do this kind of cheap hard work, but for Allen, who has always valued effectiveness, legend is awesome, but it is just a guarantee for his own self-protection and the development of the tribe.
"Okay."
While the two were in the stone fort discussing some issues in the tribe, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Come in."
The well-behaved Irene entered the door, gave Allen and Phillip a salute and a shy smile. Recently, she often smiles, her eyes seem to be hooked, full of affection. The lackey Linnaeus secretly complained to Allen, saying that Sister Irene and Brother Shisheng were dating.
When Allen heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then his mood was very complicated. He was gratified that the little girl had finally grown up, and he was also depressed that the cabbage he had grown was being taken away by a pig.
Thinking about it carefully, Dasha and Mauro are getting old, and Irene, Cole, and other young men and women are also slowly growing up, and they are all old enough to be married.
"Chief, there is a team of more than 200 people 30 miles north of the village, heading towards our territory."
After a few months, a large-scale team appeared in the village's territory again, but the impact on the tribe was not significant. Because, at this time, the tribe members knew that with Allen, the powerful legendary chief, in the village, they would no longer have to be afraid of even the most powerful enemies.
"Who are they? Have you investigated carefully?"
Allen asked casually, with a calm expression, not taking it seriously.
"What's strange about this team is that more than half of them are our goblin race, and they are all bound by shackles and ropes."
The reason why Irene reported this matter to Allen was because of this strange discovery. As a shadow talent, Irene can touch the target at a very close distance and obtain the most detailed information, unlike the scouts in the village before, who saw Allen's return but could not get too close.
"...I see. It's okay then. They should be here to find me. I'll go out."
The place where Irene was puzzled happened to give Allen a reminder that perhaps the arrival of this team was due to his agreement with Albion.
"By the way, Phillip, say hello to the others, the prison camp in the southwest corner has to be tidied up a bit more spacious!"
Before leaving, Allen suddenly turned around and instructed Phillip, causing him to be stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Allen is still not used to flying. Although flying gives him the illusion of controlling everything when he overlooks the earth from the sky, Allen still likes the feeling of being down-to-earth, which makes him feel more secure.
Therefore, when going north to intercept the team Irene mentioned, Allen still strode forward with his strong steps, and was even too lazy to ride the war horse tied to the village entrance.
The arriving team brought a large number of goblins, and the goblins were still bound, most likely a slave hunting group. And a slave hunting group that can bring a team of slaves and run all the way to such a remote place as the Green Field Plain is either out of their mind or has a clear purpose.
Thinking of the transaction negotiation with Albion outside Mansa City before, Allen has reason to suspect that this is a slave hunting group coming to trade with their tribe.
"Stop!! Didn't you see our team? Be careful we catch you!!"
Allen slowly approached the team, and when he was still more than a hundred meters away, he was stopped by the elf archer holding a bow and arrow at the front of the team.
Allen sharply looked at the team. The guys holding various weapons came from different races, including the four major civilized races and the wilderness races. In the middle of the team, there was a group of ragged, tired and haggard goblins. Obviously, this was a slave hunting group.
"Not talking?? Then I won't be polite!! I didn't expect a green skin to take the initiative to come up, just grab him and sell him!!"
While Allen was sizing up the other team, the elf archer became a little impatient, raised the longbow in his hand with a sinister smile, and pulled the bowstring.
"Stop, Cournett!!"
Just as the elf archer's arrow was about to be released, a hoarse and somewhat imposing shout came from behind him, but although the elf heard the shout, his left hand still released the bowstring, and an arrow shot towards Allen like a fly.
Allen frowned slightly, stretched out his right hand, gently buckled his thumb and middle finger together and flicked, and the arrow was directly knocked into the air in front of him until it disappeared from sight.
Wow!!
A group of slave hunting group members raised their weapons one after another, looking at Allen with vigilant and cautious eyes.
Being able to flick away Cournett's arrow so easily not only requires sharp eyes, but also strong strength. At least there is no such person in the team in front of them.
"This goblin gentleman, may I ask if you are blocking our way, do you need any help?"
A short and strong dwarf man walked out of the team, with a thick circle of brown-yellow beard growing around his lips, so thick that his big mouth could not even be seen. The other party was fully armed, walking with a clanging sound, dressed like an iron bucket, with a shield as tall as him on his back, and a square-headed hammer swaying around his waist.
"I am the only master of this Green Field Plain, Allen. Witt, the chief of the Green Field Tribe. I think you should know me, right?"
In fact, Allen could have not come to meet the other party, which would have made him seem anxious. However, after experiencing the legendary attack, the tribe suffered a lot of losses. If Allen's guess was wrong and the other party was not the partner Albion mentioned, then Allen was prepared to take action directly in this wilderness and rob the goblins in this team.
Moreover, the chief taking the initiative to meet the other party at least proves that his attitude is sincere, doesn't it?
"Ah!! So you are Chief Allen, hello, I am very happy to meet you!"
After hearing Allen's self-introduction, the dwarf's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that the partner Albion had found for them this time was so powerful.
"I am Arigon. Box, the leader of the Sidewinder Slave Hunting Group, these are my team members."
"Put down all your weapons, this is the trading partner we are trading with this time, don't embarrass me!!"
