Green Monster Epic

Chapter 392 Green Lake

Various news spread within Mansha City, bringing one exciting reversal after another, leaving Allen dazzled.

Just as Allen was feeling a bit aesthetically fatigued, the Temple of Nature suddenly and forcefully intervened in Mansha City's routine council meeting, voicing their opinions for the first time in the Alliance Council.

Dozens of already-prepared wilderness native witnesses were escorted by heavily armed Temple Knights into the council hall, where they presented the information obtained from them to the hundred-plus Alliance representatives.

Most of the information pointed to traitors bought off by the human side, while a small portion of the witnesses' testimonies were also unfavorable to the elves.

Half a year had passed since the assassination attempt on the demigod, and the Temple had been sitting idly by, watching the chaos in the wilderness. As Allen had suspected, they were secretly guiding various pieces of news and information, waiting for this very moment to arrive.

The Assassin's Guild, in cooperation with the Temple of Nature, thoroughly stirred up a lake that was already turbulent. As time passed, the human and elven forces, who were constantly monitoring the wilderness, would naturally take action.

From being cautious at the beginning to the situation escalating later on, the human nations, who had planted and bought off the most wilderness tribes, had been keeping a close eye on the wilderness elves and would certainly not miss this great opportunity, hoping to make the wilderness even more chaotic in its current state.

If they could cause the loose alliance of the wilderness to collapse, wouldn't that indirectly mean weakening the strength of the wilderness?

However, with the Temple of Nature's early preparations, or rather, with the trap they had set from the beginning, waiting for the humans and elves to enter, the Temple suddenly struck a deadly blow when the evidence was conclusive, arresting the human and elven flags and the bought-off tribal members one by one and making it public.

Each testimony implied that the power holders of a tribe were colluding with humans and elves. The trembling voices of the witnesses echoed in the spacious conference hall under the public gaze, immediately stirring up bursts of clamor and anger.

No matter how short-sighted the wilderness tribes were, and how much they cherished their tribe's reputation and interests, who could utter words of weakness in the face of such insidious behavior?

Most of the tribes bought off by humans and elves were caught red-handed, and now they dared not show any closeness. Instead, they had to try their best to distance themselves from the witnesses' words and clearly voice their opposition to humans.

At least, the Temple of Nature didn't go too far. Although the witnesses' words pointed to a dozen tribes close to humans and elves, they only stopped at the middle and high levels of the tribe and did not directly point to the ruling class.

After all, to maintain the stability of the wilderness alliance, even the Temple of Nature couldn't do too much at once, otherwise, it might really help the humans and elves.

As for some clear-headed and intelligent people, faint voices still spread, claiming that the Temple of Nature was the mastermind, but with this major action by the Temple, it completely turned into a rumor.

Even if there were any reversals in the future, after this drama at the Alliance Council, not many people would believe it.

In the end, the Temple of Nature took advantage of this layout to finally change its style of secretly manipulating the wilderness situation for tens of thousands of years, and began to forcefully step onto the stage, deploying their personnel in the Alliance Council and controlling the power of the wilderness.

The changes of the times, the slumber of the core deity, the Father of the Oak, the gods such as the God of Nature beginning to plan for the authority and status left by Silvanus, and the crisis of the two continents, finally made the Temple of Nature embark on a different path from before.

However, these changes didn't seem to have much impact on Allen. When the knights of the Temple of Nature were escorting the witnesses to the council, he had already embarked on the road back to the Greenwild Plains.

It was still a rewarding journey. On the way back, Allen naturally didn't idle and once again engaged in the behavior of the strong preying on the weak.

After successively sweeping through several goblin tribes, he went from being alone to gradually expanding the scale of his team. When he arrived at the Greenwild Plains, he had become the leader of a huge team of more than 600 people.

If he didn't lack suitable personnel to help him, Allen might have brought back an even larger team. Although it seemed a bit contemptible to outsiders for a legendary powerhouse to do things that would destroy and enslave his own kind, for Allen, the journey back was too monotonous, and his belief in strengthening the tribe had already become a conviction.

The subsequent surrender was even simpler. Although Allen was alone, a group of ignorant fellows faced a powerful figure who could soar through the sky and cause the earth to shatter with a wave of his hand. Allen only needed to unleash a few powerful moves on the open space to subdue many people.

The worship of the strong has been deeply imprinted in the genes of the wilderness natives. Perhaps many Hobgoblins and Earth Goblins have never seen a legendary powerhouse, but that doesn't prevent them from seeing the powerful destructive power created by Allen's moves, which were like the grace and power of a god.

Not long after the huge team entered the Greenwild Plains, Allen felt prying eyes. After flying into the sky and looking down, Allen easily found a hunting team from the village and handed this huge team behind him directly to them. Then, he turned around and flew towards the village.

"Teacher, you're back!!"

Kou'er's surprised voice came as Allen's figure landed in the square from the sky. Allen looked over and saw Kou'er, who was already showing the charm of a goblin mother.

The mischievous aura on her body gradually subsided as Kou'er herself grew older. Now, standing in front of Allen, the youthful aura on her face was gradually disappearing, replaced by full confidence.

A petite figure standing next to Kou'er was holding a small ball of flesh in her hands. It was Kou'er's best friend, Irene. Allen watched the little guys grow up and begin to form couples and give birth to new generations of offspring. These were the future hopes of the Greenwild Tribe.

Allen's eyes swept over the little guy in Irene's arms, who had a pair of big eyes curiously looking at him, and he couldn't look away.

This was a little cub with prominent Hobgoblin features. Its furry body and chubby appearance looked very endearing to Allen.

"Chieftain."

A soft and gentle voice came from Irene's mouth. The little girl, who had always been quiet since she was a child, had now grown up and become a mother, which made Allen feel a sense of emotion.

"Our little Irene is now a mother, not bad, not bad!!"

Allen laughed and stretched out his big hand to tease the little guy in Irene's arms.

"Is this a boy or a girl? How old is it?"

Kou'er rushed to answer. She had devoted more energy to adventure and training in recent years. Although she had not delayed finding a partner, she did not intend to have children in the short term.

Kou'er's close male was Barrington, the only remaining child of the Earth Goblin chieftain Pava O'kin. As a shield warrior, Barrington was stable and upright, which was in stark contrast to the mischievous Kou'er.

However, it was this taciturn guy who sparked a flame with Kou'er during several adventures together, and they often gathered together.

Although she had plans to form a partnership with Barrington, Kou'er was focused on Allen, her teacher, as her goal and did not intend to have children in the short term. After all, having children during the peak of her physical strength would ultimately delay Kou'er's climb to the peak of a strong person.

Perhaps because she had no plans to have children for the time being, Kou'er actually gave up her adventure plans after Irene's child was born, stayed in the village with Irene to raise the child, and took back the power to teach the child combat skills in the future.

As for Shusheng, he also formed a partnership with a female from an ordinary Hobgoblin family in the tribe, and the two of them lived a very warm life.

Tom, the brain trust cultivated in the tribe, also found a partner among the Gnomes and now has two children.

"Good, he looks like a good seed!!"

The little guy was not shy. Although he was seeing Allen for the first time, when Allen reached out to tease him, he also stretched out his arms and hugged Allen's arm, making strange tones in his mouth.

"Of course, he will be my student in the future!!"

Kou'er patted her chest proudly and made a bold statement.

“Dream on! With your pathetic skills, you actually want to take on students?”

Allen rolled his eyes at Kouer, saying disdainfully.

“Teacher, I'm now a level 14 Berserker, okay?? No one in the village is my match!! ”

Kouer grew anxious and immediately retorted.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, so impressive. How about we have a little spar later?? ”

Allen was somewhat surprised, but also gratified. The most promising young person of the new generation had finally reached the level he had hoped for. Now, it all depended on whether she had the opportunity to take it a step further.

“Teacher, you're bullying me!!!!”

Kouer still had that innocent personality, which made Allen even more pleased. At least, he didn't need to put on too much of a facade in front of this girl and could tease her as before.

But looking at Irene on the side, and Shi Sheng and Shu Sheng, who were standing far away with respectful and adoring expressions, Allen's smiling face gradually softened. Everyone had grown up and was gradually taking on important positions in the clan. They had heavier responsibilities and greater power, and after enjoying the taste of power, they began to have various desires and pursuits, and their psychological changes became more complex.

“Shi Sheng, I've brought some people back. Please ask the village to help settle them!”

Allen waved his hand, and Shi Sheng and the others, no longer young, slowly stepped forward and greeted Allen with a bow.

“Okay, Chieftain.”

Shi Sheng replied steadily. Although he was inevitably a little nervous facing Allen after so many years, he at least possessed some of the aura of a leader after serving as the village chief for the past few years.

Allen looked around with satisfaction. There were many new faces in the clan, and many new buildings had been built in the village. The originally sparsely populated hilltop was now densely packed with buildings of various heights.

Fortunately, influenced by the neat and uniform architectural style in his dreams, Allen had planned the village layout when he first led everyone in building the village. Now it seemed to have a good effect. At least, in Allen's view, even cities as prosperous as Mansa and Thornsburg were not as good as Green Lake Village in some aspects, such as sanitation.

“Philip, you're getting old!”

When his eyes fell on an old and frail figure in the crowd, Allen frowned slightly and said to the old man with a hint of melancholy.

“Who says I'm not, Chieftain!”

Philip was already over 70 years old and now had difficulty walking. If Allen hadn't returned, he probably wouldn't have left his house.

“If you had come back two years later, you would have only been able to see me in the graveyard outside the village!”

After a lifetime of frustration, Philip had now given up the idea of returning to his homeland. Eric, the leader of the humans who had settled here earlier, had told Philip a lot about what had happened in the human countries over the years, making him realize that he probably wouldn't find any of his old friends if he returned now.

However, with the addition of Eric and his group, the number of humans in the village gradually increased. In Mansa, Eric had taken in many descendants of the former Spring Country and, after gaining their trust, brought them to Greenwild Plains to settle down.

“You old fellow, you have to live a few more years, at least until your children get married and have children!”

Seeing Philip's carefree face, Allen was immediately relieved and pointed at the two young humans who were supporting him, laughing.

At this moment, a young human man slowly walked up, bowed slightly to Allen, and slowly called out, “Teacher, do you still remember me?”

Allen turned his gaze to the other person. Beneath a head of long golden hair, the human youth's handsome and upright appearance made Allen feel somewhat familiar. After thinking carefully, Allen couldn't help but put on a bright smile: “You're Fiddler, aren't you? I didn't expect you to be an adult in the blink of an eye!!”

“Teacher, we haven't seen each other for over a decade.”

Seeing that Allen could remember his name, Fiddler felt somewhat relieved. Back then, when he followed Eric and the other survivors of the Spring Country north, he had many concerns. However, the heavy conflict between humans and the wilderness caused Fiddler, who settled in Mansa, to be subjected to various hateful gazes and suffered a lot of bullying. Moreover, his former homeland in the south, as well as his father and mother, were long gone, leaving Fiddler feeling like a rootless weed, unable to find a place to belong.

It wasn't until Allen sent Lolo to visit and ask for the opinion of Fiddler, a student he hadn't taught for many days, that Fiddler finally hesitated before joining Lolo and Eric's group and settling down in Green Lake Plains.

“Is that so? Time flies!”

At Allen's current level, time had gradually become somewhat blurred. Since advancing to Legendary, his physical functions had been maintained at the peak of his thirties, with little change. If he hadn't seen the great changes in Philip, Fiddler, and the others, Allen might not have realized that some familiar faces in the village would gradually disappear in the future, while new strangers would gradually occupy Allen's memory.

“Where are Bush and the others?”

Allen searched for the faces of his other students, but looking at the figures gradually pouring in around the square, he couldn't find them.

“That bastard hasn't returned to the village for several years. Chieftain, why don't you send a few people to bring him back!!”

Camellia, who was in her fifties, no longer had the beautiful face that once dominated the Greenwild Tribe. Now, she was no different from a bloated fat ape. Especially after suffering so much in her early years and being seriously injured in the Demon Chaos, losing an arm, she aged faster than others. Now, when facing Allen, Allen could see some wrinkles and white hair on her furry bear face.

“Hahaha, young people should go out and explore. Camellia, don't worry. Bush and the others will come back sooner or later!”

Since Allen allowed Dog Left and the others to organize the clansmen to go out on adventures and travel, the younger generation in the village was no longer as closed off to the outside world as the clansmen in the early years. They all scrambled to go out and see the wonderful world.

Of course, most of the young people who could go out on adventures and travel were born and raised in the village and had a strong sense of belonging to the tribe. Other captured and purchased slaves who had been converted did not yet have such qualifications.

“I want him to come back quickly to find a spouse and then give me a grandson. What sooner or later!!!!”

Camellia wasn't happy. The cub she had finally raised ran away as soon as he said he would, completely disregarding the feelings of her old woman. How could Camellia not be angry?

“If you hadn't promised to let him go out to travel after the little cub became an adult, how could he have been missing like this?”

“I don't care. You have to find a way to bring him back to me!!”

Camellia had always been very courageous, from daring to pursue Allen in her early years to leading a group of females to fight on the battlefield. Even now that she was old, she didn't seem to have changed much when facing Allen.

Faced with Camellia's blame, Allen felt relieved and immediately nodded in agreement: “Okay, okay, I will definitely ask Shi Sheng and the others to send someone to bring this little bastard back.”

“That's more like it!!”

Camellia nodded contentedly.

The square was crowded with people, as if they had all heard the good news of the Chieftain's return. The square, which used to seem very spacious, was now gradually unable to accommodate the large population of the clan. Countless familiar or unfamiliar, tall and strong or short and agile figures surrounded Allen and his group, but they maintained a certain distance, looking up at Allen, who was gradually becoming somewhat unfamiliar, but was also the backbone of the entire clan.

“It's good to be home!!”
