Green Monster Epic

"Finally back!! Beautiful females, your handsome and dashing partner Figglas is back!!!"

Upon returning to Na'Muhl Fortress with Allen, Figglas began to express his feelings as soon as he entered the city gate, causing the goblins passing by to stare as if he were a lunatic.

Indeed, over the past year, Figglas had invested heavily in building a solid foundation for cooperation with Allen.

Putting aside everything else, just being a sparring partner for a group of goblins who were only at the peak of the High-Rank stage was already a huge sacrifice for the proud dragon, and even Allen had lost count of the number of times he had sparred.

There was no other way, Allen's fighting style was not suitable for being a sparring partner for a group of goblins, because Allen, who focused on explosive power, would inevitably use high-intensity mobility, flight ability, and unmatched power to gradually erode the opponent, and every move he made would definitely be fruitful when facing such a group of elite warriors.

But if Allen were to restrain himself and fight head-on with this group of goblins, then frankly speaking, Allen would not fare as well as Figglas in his dragon form!!

Although Figglas didn't suffer a loss either, he had tasted countless delicious dishes made by Allen himself during this time, which actually helped his physical body improve a little, which was quite unexpected for Figglas, whose strength improved relatively slowly!

He didn't expect the potential effects of this magic cuisine to be far more powerful than its apparent effects, and without any harmful side effects on the body.

"If there's nothing important, please don't bother me, goodbye!!"

Figglas was heartbroken about Allen, this guy was too shrewd and knew how to exploit the value of others too well, seizing the opportunity of wanting to befriend him and making himself a free coolie to be an opponent for his clansmen, which was an experience Figglas had never had in his nearly three thousand years.

"Thank you, Figglas!"

Allen expressed his gratitude sincerely, knowing that he really owed the other party a big favor.

"Gratitude is not about saying it, but about doing it. If you can help me settle the bill in the coming time..."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off!!!"

"Heh ~ ~"

A group of goblins such as Spark and Leo did not return to the tribe with Allen, but were left at the quarry to seize the last bit of time to continue their training.

According to Allen, it was good to improve their strength by even a little bit, although Allen was actually very satisfied with everyone's training progress.

The reason for Allen's return to Na'Muhl Fortress was also very simple, that was, Facado sent someone to inform Allen that this year's regular meeting of the Thorns Ring team had already had several tribal representatives arrive in advance, including legendary figures such as Chief Fendi of the Algon tribe.

Several representatives have expressed that they have important matters to raise at this regular meeting, so the Greenwood tribe had better have a representative who can make decisions to attend.

Therefore, Allen returned this time, and he could guess that the main issue of this Thorns Ring meeting was likely to be related to the Alliance Competition.

As the Greenwood tribe participating in the Alliance Competition for the first time, although the inheritance records of the former Ajina tribe contained a lot of information about the Alliance Competition, Allen, who had always been cautious, still felt that it was necessary to do things more safely.

The Thorns Ring team has been stable in the past few years.

With the truce agreement reached with the Drows, the member representatives no longer had to provide support and supplies to the two allies, Snow Mí and Crow's Claw, but could instead obtain stable revenue returns through the team, and there was nothing happier than this.

The only thing that made the initial members a little unhappy was probably that Allen invited the Dark Elf Corima Village to join the team a few years ago, which not only shared the revenue of each member, but also made the Dark Elves of Corima a member of the Northern Territory.

Although Ted and his group of defecting Drows changed their racial name and called themselves Dark Elves, in the eyes of other wilderness tribes, they were still that brutal, cunning, and promiscuous race, which was an undeniable fact.

Especially the tribesmen of Snow Mí and Crow's Claw, who were invaded by the Drows and reduced to their current situation, would definitely not have a good face when they saw the dark-skinned Dark Elves.

The more other tribes targeted and resisted the Dark Elves, the happier Allen was, so that in the situation where the Dark Elves were isolated and helpless, the Greenwood tribe could more easily win over the other party to stand on the same front with them.

In these years, in order to facilitate the better development of the Dark Elves, the Greenwood tribe specially made a detour when building the commercial road, passing through the gravel beach of Corima Village; at the same time, the Greenwood tribe also opened its doors, allowing the Dark Elves to freely go to Green Lake Town to study, serve as mentors, and purchase various needed supplies and sell exquisite handicrafts made by the elves at Na'Muhl Fortress.

The slight grudges that had arisen before due to territorial issues have now eased a lot, and even become somewhat intimate, as the Greenwood tribe continues to express goodwill between the Dark Elves and the Goblins.

Allen knew very well that if the tribe wanted to have enough prestige in the Northern Territory and have an important position in the Thorns Ring team, his individual strength was not enough, and he also needed the support of firm allies.

Don't look at the two tribes, Snow Mí and Crow's Claw, who seem to be very close to the Greenwood tribe, with frequent trade and life exchanges between the two sides, but if there are really important matters, it would be the best attitude for Allen if these two tribes did not dig holes for themselves behind their backs.

In the Thorns Ring team, the only ones Allen can truly rely on as allies and trust are the members of the small and medium-sized tribes of Heart of the Wild and Corima.

Chief Nicol of the Heart of the Wild tribe was very close to Allen as early as when the Greenwood tribe was still a medium-sized tribe, and the two chiefs had similar experiences and circumstances and understood each other's difficulties better.

Later, Allen took a gamble and relied on the special ability of the legendary Eric and his own absolute strength to achieve a small victory, and finally made the Greenwood tribe leap into a powerful tribe, but the friendship between the two tribes before has not faded to this day.

In these years, the Greenwood tribe has given a lot of support to the Heart of the Wild tribe, allowing the underage ogres of the Heart of the Wild to study in Green Lake Town, and opening up the inheritance and knowledge of the Greenwood tribe, in exchange for the support of the Heart of the Wild tribe for the Greenwood tribe in the Thorns Ring.

Now, with the addition of the Dark Elf force of Corima, which was introduced by Allen, the Thorns Ring team has already presented a three-legged situation.

The two Lizardmen tribes have always advanced and retreated together, Snow Mí and Crow's Claw basically maintain the same tone because of their dependence on each other, and the Greenwood tribe has the support of the two tribes, Heart of the Wild and Corima, although their tribal strength is weak, but the two tribes have three legendary powerhouses, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The Uruk Kobold tribe, on the other hand, was solitary and lacked a fixed stance or attitude. They were adept at playing all sides within the team, and had quietly made a considerable amount of money over the years.

"I didn't expect that Chieftain Fendi would personally attend this meeting!!"

"Long time no see, Nicol. Do you have time to get together tonight?"

"Sure."

......

Although he said he didn't expect it, Allen actually knew who the representatives of the various tribes were from the very beginning of the meeting.

In recent years, the Thorns Ring team has become increasingly formalized. Not only does it have a stable castle building belonging to the team, which is convenient for representatives of various tribes to be stationed in Fort Naumur for a long time, but also various rules and regulations have been improved one by one.

The wide circular council hall now only has 8 representatives from various tribes sitting around it, which looks a bit empty, but this is a precautionary measure, planning enough space in advance for the tribes that may be added in the future.

As the host and chairman of this session, Allen was actually stepping into Thorns Hall for the first time in several years. At this time, he was enthusiastically greeting several legendary powerhouses who rarely appeared. As for ordinary representatives like Amansa and Colima, they were naturally just background boards sitting beside him.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start today's agenda."

"First, let me inform everyone about the income turned over from the two fortresses this year..."

"Second, the intelligence summary of the Wind Hearing Department this year is in the documents in front of you. What needs to be paid attention to are the things written in red handwriting. The Wind Hearing Department believes that it is necessary to increase the intensity of the pursuit..."

"Third, the Drow from the north have once again sent an envoy, and have persuaded High Priest Philimon of the Church of Nature to join our Thorns Ring, so let's discuss whether to agree..."

......

The Thorns Ring team doesn't seem to have too many things to do, but there are still many things to deal with when it comes to hosting it. Allen, who rarely hosts a regular meeting, spent more than two magic hours just stating the various situations of the past year to the member representatives.

Allen was not relaxed, and the other representatives actually spent a lot of energy and words. For example, for the issue of the northern Drow, there were different voices. The representatives of the two Lizardman tribes, Argon and Amansa, and the Uruk Kobold representative, held an attitude of agreement on this matter.

However, the representatives of Snowmy, Raven's Claw, and Colima unanimously and resolutely disagreed with the Drow's request to join the team. This is also the biggest obstacle that the Drow have repeatedly requested for more than ten years without passing.

Obviously, this time the Drow's request to join still failed to pass, and the key vote was cast by Allen on behalf of the Greenwood tribe. Regardless of the relationship with the Colima tribe, or the close ties maintained with the Snowmy and Raven's Claw tribes, Allen would not go against them.

Even if the envoy of the Church of Nature and the secret envoy of the Drow had found Allen privately, and offered tempting chips, Allen still valued the relationship between the surrounding tribes more than these interests. After all, the Greenwood tribe is not like the three tribes of Uruk and Amansa. The Katol Mountains and the two tribes of Snowmy are in front of these three tribes. Even if the Drow go south again to attack, they will not be able to reach their territory for a while. Therefore, in the face of the Drow's goodwill and wooing, they will naturally not mind swallowing the bait that the other party sends to their mouths.

"Regarding the matter of the Drow joining the Thorns Ring, according to the rule of the minority obeying the majority, their request will still be rejected this year."

"...This year's routine affairs of the Thorns Ring are considered over. Next is the time for representatives of various tribes to speak. Do you have any opinions or proposals to put forward?"

Allen calmly presided over the meeting, his eyes gleaming as he swept around. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Argon Chieftain Fendi, who had personally attended the meeting, stand up and say that he wanted to speak.

"Chieftain Fendi, please speak."

"Ahem!!"

After Allen sat down, Lizardman leader Fendi sorted out his emotions and went straight to the topic.

"Everyone, the most important event in our wilderness is coming soon - the Alliance Competition. We are allies in the northern border of the wilderness who share the same boat and jointly deal with dangers and enemies. Then, in the upcoming Alliance Competition, should we also help and take care of each other?"

"..."

The faces of the other representatives in the field were as usual. Obviously, they had already received instructions from their leaders and rulers. At this time, the Heart of the Wilderness Ogre Nicol and the representative of the Dark Elves looked like they were not their business and did not have much say.

"My proposal is that if the several tribes present encounter each other after entering the Mirage Plane, they should at least maintain a peaceful attitude towards each other and not secretly trip each other up or hold each other back."

"I agree with this proposal."

Allen gave a timely response.

"I'm sorry, I need to go back and report to my tribe's high-level officials about this matter and cannot make the decision."

High Shaman Priest Herber, the representative of the Amansa tribe, looked hesitant and finally replied heavily.

"My tribe promises..."

"Wait, isn't anyone willing to act together? If we are lucky enough to be teleported together, then the power of everyone exploring together will be greater, and the gains will be greater!!"

Chieftain Fendi interrupted the representatives of the various tribes with earnest words, first looking at Allen, the nominal chairman of the team and the strongest legendary powerhouse in the northern border.

"..."

Everyone else turned their focus over, waiting for Allen's answer.

"...My personal opinion is that I am naturally willing to cooperate with everyone. If everyone's teams are really teleported near each other, then it's not bad to act together."

Allen nodded with a wry smile. At this time, he certainly couldn't say no, but he changed his tone, looked around at the other representatives with a stern expression, and continued, "But if someone does bad things behind their backs and does things to plot against my tribe's team, then I'm sorry, the weapon in my hand will never be merciful."

"That's for sure. As allies, anyone who has bad intentions and does things that betray us deserves to die!!"

Fendi immediately stated.

"..."

"I will immediately take the opinions of the two leaders back to the tribe's leader, and will definitely give you a reply when we gather in Mansa City."

"My tribe is willing to make a promise that if the tribe's team appears nearby, we are willing to act together..."

After Allen and Fendi stated their positions, the other tribal representatives also spoke after a period of silence and consideration. Some refused euphemistically, while others happily agreed. Only the representatives of Colima and the Heart of the Wilderness witnessed everyone's promises with envious expressions.
