Green Monster Epic

Chapter 510: Fakado's Struggle

The announcement was posted quickly, and unexpectedly, many goblin warriors participated in the Namur City Martial Arts Tournament organized by the temporary organization.

In a short period of time, the number exceeded a hundred, and most of them were above the intermediate warrior level, which relieved Fakado and the others.

In fact, they were overthinking it.

Since there are buildings like arenas in Namur Fortress, the atmosphere of duels will naturally not be lacking.

It's just that the former Ajinaga tribe's rule didn't want to pay a huge price to organize a martial arts competition that seemed useless, so Fakado and the others were worried that the goblins wouldn't be too interested in martial arts.

In fact, in the era of cold weapons without too many entertainment activities, people like to watch the excitement and join in the fun.

Moreover, this martial arts competition can also be rewarding.

Any goblins who have some confidence in their strength naturally want to participate.

Even if they don't win in the end, they can hone their tactical skills and pass the time.

What a great thing!

When Fakado saw the warriors in the city enthusiastically participating in the martial arts competition, he was relieved.

With Albard and Luca, two professional goblins who knew better than him how to judge the strength of warriors, watching, he didn't need to put too much energy into it.

Shi Sheng from Green Lake Town sent a private message.

As the former town chief of Green Lake Town, Shi Sheng no longer cares about town affairs, but his years of management are still there.

He also knows about Allen's future plans for the two important towns of Green Lake and Namur Fortress.

In the letter, Shi Sheng analyzed the future competition between the two towns for Fakado, as well as the preparations he had to make for this competition, and the situation of Trick's layout in Green Lake Town, etc., which made Fakado feel a great sense of crisis out of thin air.

Fakado also knew that he could preside over the specific affairs of Namur Fortress and become the acting city lord because his father's layout in the early stage gave him the advantage.

Otherwise, in terms of the abilities of several competitors in the tribe, the one most likely to become the city lord of Namur Fortress was Trick, who is currently the town chief of Green Lake Town.

But Fakado was not convinced.

As the one who was cultivated by his father Shi Sheng as a successor since he was a child, he believed that he was not necessarily worse than Trick in managing town affairs, and even in some aspects, he believed that he was more pragmatic and knew how to win people's hearts.

So this competition between the two cities gave Fakado a chance to compete with Trick.

Although the competition between the two towns is not fair at this time.

The unfair environment cannot be changed.

Fakado naturally hopes to be able to leave Trick behind with absolute advantage, so that at least from the results, it is enough to prove that he is better than the other party.

For this breath, Fakado devoted himself to the development of Namur Fortress, so that the fortress not only restored its past prosperity in a very short period of time, but also made considerable progress.

Recently, Fakado has been discussing and planning with several of his subordinates for a long time, preparing to make a major change to the commercial environment of Namur.

Now he is writing hard, preparing to send this plan to Allen for him to read.

"Huff!!!"

When the last word was completed under the quill, Fakado raised his head and took a long breath, then held the written plan in both hands, carefully checking word by word to see if there was anything that needed to be added or subtracted, or if there were any errors or omissions.

After checking it over and over several times, Fakado finally confirmed that there were no errors or omissions in this plan before showing a smile.

Getting up and walking out of the room, Fakado was going to strike while the iron was hot and call the plan to Allen to get his consent.

However, as he got closer to the arena, Fakado's footsteps gradually became sluggish.

The previous full of confidence was gradually worn away in the road ahead, and a few doubts arose in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he had lost points in front of Allen several times before, or perhaps Allen's own majesty made Fakado feel nervous.

When he thought that he was formulating a major plan for the first time as the city lord and sending it to the most admired chieftain Allen to read and agree, Fakado suddenly felt like he was taking a big exam.

A gaze in the sky was secretly overlooking the three small figures walking on the ground, sensing the emotional changes of the foremost figure with powerful and silent mental power.

As a fierce gust of wind swept across the sky, blowing away the white clouds where the gaze was, Allen's bear face clearly appeared in the sky.

After the routine meeting of the Thorns Ring team ended, Allen rarely stayed in the arena to recuperate, but instead flew to the Cato Mountains from time to time to practice quietly in the natural environment, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to investigate the situation in the depths of the mountains.

The environment in the mountains has indeed changed a lot.

Since Allen took command of Namur Fortress, Fakado and the others have issued various adventure missions to the outside world in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, such as searching for fruit wine brewed by long-armed apes, such as exploring the magic plants in a valley...

At that time, Allen just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Fakado to handle this matter in an organized manner, so that the tribe had a better understanding of the situation in the Cato Mountains, and at the same time, he also gained a lot of resource information points.

Of course, the tribe is not really a hands-off shopkeeper.

In fact, Fakado has always organized gray dwarf teams to explore the mineral deposits in the mountains, but due to the complex geographical environment of the mountains and various threatening plants, animals, and monsters, the progress has been very slow.

No matter which adventurer discovers mineral resources, it is impossible to report them to the Green Field Tribe.

They will secretly excavate them and make a fortune in silence, which is countless times higher than the rewards given by the Namur City Lord's Mansion adventure missions.

Seeing that the number of adventurers in the mountains has increased, and the trend of rising trading volume of magic plants has also appeared in the city, Allen is also very pleased.

In this matter, Fakado did a good job, so that the Cato Mountains, a place with countless hidden wealth, has the possibility of being developed.

It seems that Allen rarely cares about tribal affairs, but in fact, Allen can always understand the situation of the tribe anytime and anywhere, even Green Lake Town, which is thousands of miles away, has a detailed and concise intelligence report sent to Allen by Luke every half a month.

Allen had already known the general situation of the plan that Fakado was brewing shortly after he and several of his subordinates held several all-night meetings.

Although he didn't know what the final plan was, Allen was looking forward to Fakado and his subordinates giving him a surprise.

Compared with Trick's maturity and prudence, although Fakado has talent, perhaps because he has been guided by his father Shi Sheng for a long time and lived a very depressed life, so when he can finally be independent, he always hopes to make a career all at once.

But career is never something that can be accomplished overnight.

It requires down-to-earth efforts and gradual management.

Because of his eagerness, Facardo was often rash in many things, and sometimes overly cautious. These minor flaws ultimately caused him to be surpassed by Tric in their competition.

However, as he gained more experience, Facardo seemed to gradually adapt to the position of acting city lord, and he also understood how to manage and coordinate the daily affairs of such a large city.

Alan was very happy and gratified by these changes. The development of the tribe was never the achievement of one person. Even though Alan had built the Green Field Tribe with his own hands, it would not have developed so well and so quickly over the years without the successive assistance of Flower Snake, Philip, Stoneborn, Treeborn, and other goblins.

In the future, the development of the tribe would still depend on the abilities of the younger generation. As the leader, Alan should actually let go and allow them to explore and learn, while he only needed to provide them with support and guidance from behind.

Sensing the hesitation in Facardo's footsteps, Alan didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he felt a little curious. Was he that scary? Could he frighten a goblin to such an extent before even meeting him?

However, soon, Facardo's emotions changed again. As he got closer to the arena, his steps became more firm.

Alan, who had noticed these changes in mid-air, revealed a hint of a smile in his eyes. As the other party's figure disappeared into the arena's gate, he himself swooped down and quickly returned to the wide square in the center of the arena.

"Chieftain, I have discussed a plan with several supervisors and would like you to take a look at it to see if there are any problems and offer some suggestions."

It was clear that Facardo, who was in his thirties, was actually very nervous. At this time, facing Alan's calm gaze, he couldn't help but want to look away, but a surge of courage in his heart made him stubbornly resist the urge to shift his gaze.

"Let me see."

Alan calmly extended his hand, without deliberately showing any comforting gesture. In the future, this kid would be one of the tribe's main decision-makers, and he would inevitably face Vicki and unexpected events. If he couldn't even handle such small pressures, then his future path would not be long.

Taking the plan that Facardo respectfully handed over, Alan casually asked as he flipped through it, "I heard that you are going to hold a martial arts competition these few days? To select excellent warriors to compete in Green Lake?"

"Yes."

"Is there enough time? Do you need me to clear out the arena for you to use?"

"No!! No!!"

"Or I should clear it out for you. Anyway, I'm not in the arena most of the time now, it's a waste to keep it for myself."

"Then... thank you for your consideration, Chieftain!!"

"Why are you saying that? I'm also a member of the tribe, isn't it my duty to consider the tribe?"

Indeed, the competition that Facardo and the others were holding this time was too rushed. There were only 5 days to register, and then ten days to complete the competition, with the remaining few days used to travel to Green Lake Town. With such a tight schedule, it would be best to shorten the competition time, but according to the current number of registrations, even with ten days of competition time, the number of matches per day would probably be very frequent.

If they could have a few more competition venues and hold the competition in groups, then the competition time would be more ample and easier to control.

Of course, this was actually Alan's deliberate intention. If both sides had ample time to prepare, then the advantage of Namur Fortress would be too great.

It should be known that many elite warriors from Namur Fortress would go out on adventures with the merchant ships due to the excellent transportation environment. If this group of elites participated in the martial arts competition, which would determine the future allocation of resources between the two towns, it would really be too unfair.

And if Alan was too biased towards Green Lake Town after the competition and didn't fulfill his promise, then the so-called competitive relationship between the two cities would have no meaning from the very beginning.

In the end, Alan could only resort to such a small trick to help Green Lake Town recover some of its disadvantages. However, after this year's competition, the next competition would have to rely on Tric and the others' own efforts.

The martial arts competition actually had another purpose, which was to prepare in advance for the Manta Alliance's once-in-a-century tribal competition. Counting down, there were still more than ten years until the next competition, and Alan hoped that this time, the tribe's ranking in the alliance would at least not fall.

The content of the plan was actually not too much, but Alan looked at it very carefully. Every time he saw a place, his eyes would linger for a while, and his face would sometimes show contemplation and sometimes relief, causing the string in Facardo's heart, who was secretly observing him, to be constantly taut.

"Not bad, it's a good plan, but I think some places should be more detailed."

The plan was somewhat surprising and unexpected to Alan. When he put down the plan and looked up at Facardo, there was a hint of encouragement in his tone.

"Chieftain, tell us, we will go back and revise it again."

Having gained Alan's approval, the heart that Facardo had been hanging on also fell, and he listened to Alan's guidance with great ease at this time.

"The establishment of grassroots organizations, don't be afraid of trouble, go deep into the bottom, and provide the greatest convenience to the passing merchant ships, that is the focus of your plan. Recruiting a few more employees is not necessarily a bad thing..."

Facardo and the others' plan was to expand a Yong City outside the south gate of Namur Fortress, creating a distribution center that integrates rest, storage, and trading.

The distribution center has exchanges, inns, warehouses, and tax departments. According to the plan, passing merchant ships only need a very short time to complete the cumbersome matters of accommodation, renting warehouses, and paying taxes, which used to take most of the day.

At the same time, since the distribution center is directly managed by the Green Field Tribe, the safety and credit aspects can reassure the passing merchants, without having to worry about being plundered by despicable means.

In Namur Fortress, near the south gate, Facardo and the others also planned to delineate a separate area to build commercial areas such as adventure halls, taverns, brothels, high-end restaurants, and gambling houses, so that passing guests and adventurers can freely and safely enjoy the nightlife.

Separating this area makes it easier for the tribe to manage, so that the ghosts and monsters hiding in the shadows cannot grow stronger and are always under the tribe's control.

Facardo and the others also plan to build a carriage that frequently travels between Namur Fortress and Nasir Fortress, taking guests back and forth between the two cities at the cost of relatively cheap road tolls.

...

Although it can't be considered a big move, Alan can at least see a down-to-earth Facardo from this plan. Moreover, these measures also have a great auxiliary effect on building a commercial city. If he really makes this happen, then Namur Fortress's commercial income will inevitably have a considerable increase.
