Green Monster Epic

Chapter 511: Predicament

Nasir Fortress gradually returned to calm, but the two races at the bottom still had some friction, although it was much better than the most tense time before.

Because of the assassination of Allen, the alliance between the two races, which was on the verge of collapse, was forcibly glued together again.

Maggot Eye's wavering mentality, due to fear of retaliation from the Green Field Tribe, had to be tied to Aria, and the cornerstone of the alliance between the two sides became more stable.

It was really that Allen, this goblin, was too powerful, and Maggot Eye also had enough awareness of his own wisdom. Even if he had realized that Aria's attempt to win him over to jointly assassinate Allen was also a calculation against him, after weighing the pros and cons, Maggot Eye could only swallow this bitter pill, pretending not to know about it, so that he could get along with Aria normally.

After the upper echelons reached a unified attitude, the feedback to the bottom was that the small and medium leaders of the two races could only increase the restraint on their people's actions and try to reduce friction as much as possible.

Although the leaders of the two races were very clear that this had a great impact on their prestige, there must be dissatisfaction among the small and medium-level leaders, and the bottom was just gathering a powder keg.

Fortunately, because of the two races' softening, the chamber of commerce established with the goblins has eased the conflicts of interest among their middle levels.

After the goblins joined the chamber of commerce, the first thing they did was to standardize the terms of the chamber of commerce, stipulate the operating areas of each other's clansmen, and make corresponding penalty clauses.

With enforceable clauses, and after impartially dealing with a batch of violating leaders and grassroots sellers, the atmosphere of the chamber of commerce showed signs of improvement for a time, and the grassroots sales network gradually became stable.

The advantage of the goblins is that they do not have their own sellers in Nasir Fortress, so there is no conflict with the other two parties in terms of interests, which allows them to deal with problems relatively more fairly, and the results are often more easily accepted by people.

However, recently, some of the goblins' practices are really enviable, no, it should be said, jealous!

"This can't go on like this!!"

Maggot Eye stared greedily at the continuous mountains to the south, as if he could see the Moor Fortress, which was far away from Nasir Fortress, through dozens of miles.

"Or, should we two races also learn from the green skins and do something like that distribution and trading market!!"

Recently, fewer and fewer caravans have been staying and resting in Nasir Fortress. Even if caravans occasionally rest again, they often only stay for a short time and then set off early the next morning.

Even the traveling merchants who sell goods in Nasir Fortress and the adventurers who rest in the fortress have also decreased a lot, which seems to have little to do with Nasir Fortress, but in fact, it has a vital impact on the commercial trade in the fortress.

For example, the female jackal family that Maggot Eye recently took as a partner, relying on Maggot Eye's support, opened a casino in Nasir Fortress, which made a lot of money in the past few years.

After all, after a long journey of adventure, everyone needs to find some fun to play with and relax; and the adventurers who have been licking blood on the edge of a knife can't keep money, and timely enjoyment is their motto.

However, recently, the jackals have found that there are much fewer adventurers and merchants who come to the casino to play, and sometimes they can't even find customers to make up a table, which is very surprising.

Not only the jackals, but also the entertainment venues operated by the trolls have the same problem.

The number of visiting caravans actually maintains a stable level and has not fluctuated much, but these customers sometimes prefer to work harder for a while, and even cross the canyon at night, and are not willing to stay in Nasir Fortress for too long.

You must know that although the terrain in the canyon is not complicated and there will be no danger, the distance of dozens of miles will take at least half a day for a large caravan.

And the ultimate destination of these merchants and adventurers is, without exception, the equally magnificent fortress city south of the canyon entrance.

"Do you know how to do these things? Can you compete with the shrewd green skins in the south?"

Aria raised the corner of his right mouth and asked rhetorically.

At this time, Aria's heart was also full of worries. To be honest, the few families he supported had also suffered a lot because of the actions of the goblins in the south.

However, until now, Aria has not come up with a way to curb these changes from happening.

Learn from the goblins and build a distribution and trading market? Build a high-end entertainment center?

Perhaps, such actions can retain some customers, but in fact, most of the customers will still be attracted by the goblins.

And if you learn from the goblins, then the market and various entertainment projects will be owned by the public, and will no longer be controlled by a few families, otherwise it will be difficult for other clansmen to accept.

The set of things that the goblins have come up with, to put it bluntly, is just a monopoly operation like grain, oil, and salt, but unlike the trolls and jackals, the benefits obtained by the Green Field Tribe goblins from monopoly are basically owned by the tribe, and then returned to the clansmen through welfare, increased job opportunities, and other methods.

Such a practice requires a tribal leader with strong prestige and no selfishness to make it work; and like Maggot Eye and Aria, the two leaders each have a huge family behind them. If they engage in monopoly, the ultimate benefit will not be the bottom clansmen of the tribe, but will benefit their respective families.

If these benefits are made public, then the families of the two leaders will inevitably suffer the most losses, and the two leaders will inevitably receive countless complaints, and don't think about having a good life. Of course, the two of them will not harm the interests of their families.

However, maintaining the current situation, although the major families of the tribe basically devoured most of the benefits of these industries, the small part of the benefits that are revealed can still allow many small and medium-sized leader families in the tribe to have a relatively stable life.

The continuation of a tribe has to take into account the situation of the bottom clansmen. If the exploitation is too serious and the clansmen cannot survive, then they will inevitably flee and rebel, and the final result will be the decline of the tribe.

"But at least we have to do something, right?"

Maggot Eye was very anxious. Seeing carriages coming and going in the canyon, there were not only merchants on their way, but also carriages specially built by the goblins to carry people back and forth. The carriages were often filled with adventurers and guys who wanted to go to Moor Fortress for entertainment.

These people could have rested in the urban area of Nasir Fortress, and then spent money, allowing the jackals and trolls to peel off shiny gold and silver coins from them, and eventually part of the wealth would always converge into Maggot Eye and his family's hands.

But now, they could only watch helplessly as one fat sheep after another flowed out, while they themselves could do nothing.

“Let’s talk, go find Allen!!”

Ariel stood up and left indifferently, leaving only Maggot Eye slightly dazed.

On the south wall of Fort Muer, Facardo was walking along the wide military road with several guards, overlooking the bustling city below. For more than a year, Facardo had been in a good mood, because in the previous competition with T里克, he had temporarily won a small victory.

The Green Field Tribe's Green Lake Town martial arts competition had passed for almost a year, and the final result was naturally that the more than 100 goblin teams sent by Fort Muer had won the vast majority of the top ten places for junior, middle, and senior warriors and spellcasters, and even swept the top three places for junior, middle, and senior spellcasters.

This was still because the talents selected for the martial arts competition in Muer at that time were too hasty. If they had enough time to prepare the list of participants, Ariel even felt that they could take all the places.

It could be said that the Green Lake Town clansmen were the ones Allen had put the most effort into, but because of the incomplete inheritance and lack of foundation, most of the clansmen's foundations were indeed inferior to the Ajinaga goblins.

They gained the advantage of resource allocation tilting in the past two years, and just caught up with Facardo's plan to vigorously develop the distribution and trading market and entertainment district. Therefore, the construction and transformation of these two districts progressed extremely quickly, and they had completed their development from scratch in a short period of less than half a year.

The entertainment district was decorated without any regard for cost. All the decorations and configurations were the best that the wilderness could offer, luxurious and high-end.

Prostitutes gathered in the brothels, with females and even handsome males from countless races from the two continents and the wilderness. After all, some guys always pursue novelty, or simply have mental problems, and guests must have all their needs met.

For example, Facardo knew a human male merchant who had a thing for extremely plump females. Every time he came to Fort Muer, he would find a female ogre to spend the night with. Facardo couldn't imagine how that weak human body could handle an ogre who was almost twice his height and ten times his weight!!

The casino is divided into two levels. The high-end area has certain requirements for gambling funds. Each table is limited to a certain number of people and has professional servants to follow, who can enjoy personal service at any time; the low-end area meets the needs of the public. Chips are optional, and a gambling table can accommodate dozens of people. The game is also very easy to understand, and wins and losses are very fast...

As for the restaurant, it is open day and night. If someone needs it, they will also deliver meals to their door. All kinds of dishes and snacks are made by the most skilled chefs from Green Lake Town...

Surrounding these major industries, there are countless exotic animals, luxury goods, and exquisite and strong slaves from the two continents for sale. Anyway, basically anything the guests need can be found here.

The trading and distribution market, which is independently opened outside the south gate, has an area of 1/4 the size of Fort Muer. The high walls stand as high as the fortress walls. As long as the goods are sent in and do not have an exclusive imprint, no one can take them out privately.

A large team of goblin warriors is on duty on the barbican at all times. The warehouse in the city is heavily guarded, and not even a mouse can sneak in at night, which is enough to ensure the safety of the goods of each merchant team. More importantly, the warehouse rental here is very cheap, coupled with the cheap accommodation in the dormitory and the cheap supply of food and grass, which can save a lot of expenses for the visiting merchants.

Although, with the scale of these merchant teams, this little saving is actually just a drop in the bucket, but coupled with the quick customs clearance procedures in the fortress, it is enough to make these merchant teams feel the comfort brought by the service.

You must know that along the way, each merchant team has to pass through the cities of dozens of tribes. Most of the wilderness natives they face will nitpick and look for various troubles for the merchant team. At this time, if anyone encounters the Green Field Tribe's service attitude, giving merchants and travelers various conveniences and providing home-like service, they will naturally feel good about it in comparison.

The exchange is also open for 12 magic hours every day, which is convenient for merchants to find buyers and sellers, and the Green Field Tribe's credit is used as a guarantee for both parties, so that they don't have to worry about someone cheating, bullying, or buying and selling by force.

In just over half a year, the income of the two districts of Fort Muer has increased rapidly, and they have quickly become two hens that lay golden eggs. How can Facardo not be excited!!

This prosperous scene in front of him was all created by him. Look at the Gequi Square and brothels under the city, which are lit up with dazzling fish oil lamps before dark, and listen to the melodious and floating zither music and singing. What a peaceful and extravagant scene!

The establishment of the two districts not only brought considerable income to the fortress, but also created thousands of job opportunities for the clansmen, as well as a supporting industrial chain that could affect tens of thousands of people. This is the biggest gain for the tribe.

“Lord, I heard that the two leaders from the north have brought people over and are talking to the patriarch!”

A short goblin ran over with his short legs, and the word 'Lord' made Facardo's heart flutter.

After completing this plan, at least in Facardo's view, his position as Lord should be considered stable. As for the two leaders mentioned by the short goblin, Facardo was not too concerned. As early as the beginning of the plan, Allen asked him to let go and do it without worrying about other things.

Everyone knew that their actions would obviously damage the interests of others, and in the end, the other party would definitely not sit idly by, and it was normal for them to come to their door.

“Come, come, come, you two, please sit down.”

In the past year or so, Allen had honestly stayed in the fortress and hadn't gone anywhere. At most, he just took a trip around the Cato Mountains.

First, the hidden wounds left by the assassination had not been completely healed, which showed Allen's dangerous situation at the time; second, Allen also wanted to see if Facardo was qualified in actual management.

However, after this observation, Facardo's ability has been affirmed. It is not easy to turn the plan they formulated into reality in such a short period of time and quickly develop it to its current scale.

And the arrival of the two leaders from the north, although it was within Allen's expectations, he did not expect the other party to come so quickly.

The two leaders sat down on Allen's left and right with embarrassed expressions, and Ariel said directly: “Patriarch Allen…”
