Green Monster Epic

"He is our tribe's current chief – Arier!!"

With each word, Talib seemed to be battling within himself, his tone and eyes filled with struggle.

Hearing the name, Allen was stunned. He had thought the conversation was because the other party realized he was targeting the Snowmi tribe as suspects, and wanted to shift the focus through the talk, or perhaps they knew the real culprit and wanted to use this opportunity to build a relationship.

But unexpectedly, Allen hadn't anticipated that Talib would ultimately reveal the true culprit to be the highest authority of his own tribe. If Arier heard this conversation, Talib probably wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Snowmi tribe, because it would mean his betrayal.

The other party's bizarre actions immediately raised Allen's vigilance again, his eyes cold and filled with disgust as he met the other's gaze.

"I know what it means for me to say this, but I don't want my tribe to suffer even greater damage because of my tribe chief's current willful actions."

"Rather than having Chief Allen discover this matter, I might as well confess to you proactively in exchange for your help."

Talib gave a bitter smile. He was also unwilling to do such a thing. It was really that Chief Arier's choices and decisions in recent decades had caused damage to the tribe and Talib's Hua clan. In order to stop the loss in time, Talib resolutely decided to launch a challenge to power.

"Help? What kind of help do you want?"

Allen was no longer a young man who could be easily moved by words, tilting his head and frowning slightly as he questioned.

"I will tell Chief Allen about Chief Arier's action plan for the next period of time. I hope Chief Allen can formulate a surefire revenge plan, at least to severely damage Chief Arier. Of course, it would be even better if he could be killed on the spot!!"

"I want to ascend to the position of chief of the Snowmi tribe!!"

After speaking his true purpose in front of Allen, Talib's ambition could no longer be concealed, and his burning fighting spirit was evident in his eyes.

"…"

No wonder Talib wanted to negotiate terms with Allen before confessing the real culprit. It turned out that his plan was to borrow a knife to kill, while also reserving a way out for himself, whether he succeeded in seizing power or failed.

"Why should I believe you?"

Talib's reason was beyond Allen's expectation, but it made Allen have to believe it a bit. It was just a pity that he had only focused on checking the Snowmi tribe's trivial information before, but didn't bother to seriously examine the Snowmi's true situation. Perhaps at this time, Allen would be able to know how true Talib's desire to seize power was.

"There are very simple things that Chief Allen should also know, so I will say something you don't know, and let Chief Allen judge whether Arier has become昏庸!!"

Talib gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind to reveal more inside information in order to impress Allen. Now that he had made his choice, there was no need to hesitate.

"Since Arier joined the Church of Nature, he listened to the church's call and directly formed a regular army of more than 20,000 people, which is still stationed in the military camp north of Bonn City."

"These 20,000 troops consume a lot of food and materials every year, which is a heavy burden on the tribe. You know, in my tribe's territory, only the plains along the Nice River and Canal can grow food. The grain harvested is almost 1/4 to maintain the consumption of the army, and the remaining 3/4 of the grain can be distributed to the tribe's hundreds of thousands of people."

"However, until now, the Church of Nature has not issued other tasks, but only asked my tribe to maintain this army…"

"Because of the feud with the goblins of Aginaga, the tribe's past merchants are always made things difficult by Arier, and many caravans are unwilling to travel through my tribe's territory."

"The Mur Fortress has been holding back the supplies my tribe wants to purchase, and the border between the northern dwarf kingdom and the elf kingdom is still closed. As a result, the supplies my tribe urgently needs can only be detoured through your Greenwild Plains, and then south to Mansha City, and after all kinds of hardships, they can transport the needed supplies back."

"Arier is now wholeheartedly currying favor with the Church of Nature. In the south, in order to support the battle between the orc empire and humans, he also took the initiative to raise a batch of supplies to the south, but completely ignored the interests of my troll tribe…"

It can be seen that Talib's dissatisfaction with Arier has been accumulated for a long time, otherwise he would not have confessed to Allen at this time, and said more than a dozen unsatisfactory issues in one breath.

Allen combined the various scattered information collected by the Thorns Ring team, such as the rising prices in Bonn City and the escape of the population in the tribe, to see that what the other party said was not without basis.

As he digested the various contents in Talib's words, Allen really believed that the other party really had the intention to kill Arier.

However, there is still a problem here, that is, Talib's own strength. According to Allen's information, he is only in the middle stage of legend, and has been stagnant at this strength for nearly 80 years. Even if the other party intends to hide it, and quietly promoted to the high stage of legend a few years ago, don't forget that in addition to Arier, the existence of the high stage of legend, the Snowmi tribe still has a high stage of legend shaman elder. It may not be easy for Talib to sit on the position of chief.

"Are you sure you can sit on the position of chief?"

If there are doubts in your heart, you must raise them to see if the other party has other backhands.

"Are you worried about my tribe's elder Chakri? You can rest assured that the elder has long been dissatisfied with Chief Arier's actions, but because he was promoted to legend for too long, even if he touches the challenge chief, Chakri elder's age, he won't be able to sit in that position for too long, and he will reach the limit of his life in at most a hundred years."

"When I decided to take action this time, I had already communicated with Chakri Elder. He will take a neutral attitude on this matter. As long as your assassination plan does not endanger the interests of my Snowmi tribe, he will not take action to rescue Arier."

Talib heard Allen's implication, and no longer cared about revealing too much, and simply stated his preparations in order to convince Allen and impress the other party.

"…"

What followed was another fierce negotiation. The sudden incident left Allen unprepared, but this did not prevent him from wisely realizing whether this matter was beneficial to his tribe.

If he could take this opportunity to weaken the powerful opponent of Snowmi, or even bring the other party into the Thorns Ring team, then the northern wilderness would be considered a situation where one family is dominant.

The Church of Nature may not like this situation, after all, the Snowmi tribe and the jackals of Crow's Claw are two chess pieces they have placed in the northern border, and they can use this to gradually erode the Oak Church's vassal Aginaga tribe in the future. However, if Talib's seizure of power succeeds, it also means that the Snowmi tribe, which could originally suppress the Aginaga tribe, will lose a high-ranking legend as a result. Facing the Aginaga tribe and the gradually stabilizing Thorns Ring, it will inevitably appear more disadvantaged.

But for Allen and his northern tribes, this was good news. Because of their involvement in the war between humans and beastmen, the Church of Nature, in conjunction with other churches of nature deities, had repeatedly drawn manpower and resources from the major tribes to the south.

This meant that the Northern Territory was still responsible for defending against the Elven Kingdom and the Dwarven Kingdom. In addition, the Oak Church and the two goddess daughters of Sylvanus were united and dissatisfied with some of the Church of Nature's actions, which allowed tribes like the Ajina to be friendly to the Oak Church without participating too much in the southern war.

Based on this, Allen and the others hoped to maintain their relationship with the Oak Church, the Ranger Church, and the New Sprouts Church, which meant they had considerable conflicts with the Church of Nature.

"Such an important matter cannot be accomplished by me alone, so I need to join forces with other strong individuals."

After a long exchange, Allen was indeed moved. However, he was well aware that although he had advanced to the mid-stage of the legendary realm, he still had enough understanding when facing Yariel, a high-stage legendary existence.

"No problem, I certainly hope your power is greater, so my goal is more likely to succeed."

Taribo nodded slowly, replying understandingly.

"After you have discussed it, let's meet again. At that time, I will tell you more detailed information about Yariel and when he will be out."

"Okay, no problem, when will we meet again?"

Allen nodded.

"How about a month later? It should be enough time for you to come up with a definite result."

"We will meet here again then."

"Okay!!"

Two ghostly figures separated in two different directions and quickly left.

After returning to the Mur Fortress, Allen first spent a long time thinking alone in his residence, analyzing all the pros and cons clearly, before finding Biler again and notifying the other tribes to send strong individuals, and everyone held another meeting.

"This is the second meeting in just two months. Chief Allen, you can't just ask everyone to rush over because of some trivial matters. Everyone has their own things to do."

Previously, when Allen proposed revenge, the Amansa and Alger tribes were not very willing, and when providing various information, the information sent by their two tribes was also the least. Now that Allen had invited them to participate in the meeting again, Fendi, the chief of Alger, was very dissatisfied. The tribe's great elder went south to Mansa City, leaving him, the chief, as the only legendary figure in charge of the tribe, and leaving the tribe rashly was still somewhat dangerous.

"Sorry."

Allen lowered his head slightly to apologize, and then handed each of the representatives a ledger. This was something he had obtained through summarizing various information while waiting for the representatives to arrive.

"I already have a witness who can confirm who the real murderer who assassinated me last time was, so I have invited you here this time to discuss the revenge plan for the next step."

"Do you really want revenge? The murderer who dared to assassinate you must be a legendary figure. Are you sure you want to trouble a legendary figure? Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and deal a deadly blow to your tribe?"

Jerlang, the leader of the Amansa tribe who came as a representative, asked with some surprise.

"I am very sure, and this plan is also of great importance to you and our entire Thorns Ring. I don't think this is an impulsive act."

Allen faced everyone with a serious expression and spoke eloquently: "As I expected, the opponent who found someone to assassinate me this time is Yariel, the leader of the Snowmi tribe."

"Moreover, we happen to have a suitable opportunity that can help us complete our revenge against Yariel."

"The internal situation of the Snowmi tribe is now very chaotic. This ledger is my judgment on their tribe's living materials and burden based on the information collected by everyone."

"What is the significance of these things? Could it be that we can really launch a war of extermination against the Snowmi? As long as we take action, the Church of Nature behind those trolls will definitely take action and take the opportunity to blackmail our tribes, thereby interfering in the internal affairs of our respective tribes."

Chief Fendi's eyes were cold. Although Allen's final investigation result was already within his psychological expectation, after all, there were only a few families in the Northern Territory who had the guts and the strength to attack Allen, a legendary figure.

"We don't need to attack the entire Snowmi tribe, we only need to deal with Yariel, this troll."

Allen was confident that what he was about to say would definitely arouse everyone's interest.

"Within their tribe, a power struggle has already emerged. Taribo, the second elder of the Snowmi tribe, invited me to meet a few days ago. He is willing to provide us with Yariel's whereabouts and his strength information, and help us formulate an assassination plan."

"And the price we need to pay is to support Taribo in taking the throne after the assassination is over and accept him into the Thorns Ring…"

"This is impossible!!!"

"Is that old thing Taribo crazy??"

Sure enough, a storm was set off in the small conference room. A group of legendary figures could not restrain their inner excitement, and the legendary pressure shrouded the small space, but fortunately, everyone was a legendary figure, and this pressure did not have a great impact on each other.

After a long time, Allen began to repeat many of the inside stories that Taribo had told him before, but this time, because he had various information prepared by Allen in advance to support him, he spoke with more confidence than when he was facing Taribo.

Whether there is a problem in a tribe will eventually be revealed through some small things that are not noticed by the tribe. For example, the price of food in Born City of the Snowmi tribe is at least twice as high as that of the Mur Fortress and other cities.

"Can you be sure that Taribo's cooperation is credible?"

Everyone was moved by Allen, especially Biler, who had always regarded the Snowmi tribe as his biggest opponent, and asked with a worried look.

"I dare not say that I am 100% sure of the other party's sincerity, but many of the inside stories that Taribo told me are consistent with the information we have collected. This shows that at least the reason why the other party wants to betray Yariel is tenable."

"Regardless of whether he has other conspiracies in the end, I believe that as long as we are careful, there will not be too many problems."

"If the facts promised by everyone before have not changed, then with each of our tribes sending out a legendary figure, even the Church of Nature does not have the strength to create a threatening trap for our joint action team around the Cato Mountains."

"Even if the plan is unsuccessful, as long as we have not taken any actions to attack the Snowmi tribe on a large scale, the Church of Nature will not find any reason to target and suppress us, right?"

Allen had not worried that Taribo was deliberately tempting them, but compared to the strength of the Thorns Ring, the Snowmi and Raven's Claw camp really did not have the qualifications to provoke the Thorns Ring.
