Green Monster Epic

“… … We don’t care which supervisor or commander's nephew you are. Since you dared to cause trouble in the street and seriously injure three innocent residents, you’re definitely going to jail today! ! ”

In the dim interrogation room, a gnoll glared fiercely at the young troll who was bound, trembling, and squatting on the ground.

“I will kill you! ! My uncle will not let you go! ! ! ”

The young troll, Ethan, stubbornly raised his head, his face still bearing the marks left by the brutal beating he had received from several fierce warriors during his earlier struggles.

Ethan never imagined that he would actually be arrested and severely punished. He knew that his uncle was a commander in the Snowmane tribe, leading thousands of warriors. In the past, Ethan had always been rampant in Nasir Fortress, and no one dared to provoke him, except for a few peers from his own tribe and the gnolls who had similar backgrounds.

The tribe's chiefs and supervisors in charge of maintaining law and order naturally wouldn't over-punish this little rascal out of respect for Ethan's uncle; and the gnoll leaders next door didn't dare to provoke a conflict between the two tribes by detaining this troll youth, given the delicate relationship between them.

“We are waiting for your uncle to come and make trouble for us! ! ”

“But before that, you'd better confess everything obediently, or you'll have a hard time! ! ”

Next to the gnoll, sat a large, male earth goblin, looking sharply at the still uncooperative troll, and said contemptuously.

“… … Do you admit to the fact that you injured two trolls and one goblin in Coldwind Alley? ”

“They're just a few untouchables. So what if I hit them? What's there to deny! ! ”

Ethan clearly hadn't figured out the situation. He had been sent to the academy in Mansa City for a few years, and now he finally came back to have some fun. How could anyone dare to arrest him! ! Could it be that after going out to study for a few years, no one remembers the reputation he had built before? ?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Ethan became. He raised his head and glared at the warriors in the room, his eyes becoming more and more vicious.

“Then please explain why you injured these three residents.”

“Do I need a reason to beat a few untouchables? ? They blocked my way and caused me to lose track of a beauty. Don't you think they deserve to be beaten? ? ”

“… … Indeed, they deserve to be beaten! ! ”

The troll interrogator from the Snowmane tribe covered his face in embarrassment. Although he knew which family this little brat came from, the Joint Security Bureau had judged and punished countless trolls with even more distinguished identities than this kid in recent years. Why would he still be afraid of such a small thing?

The three interrogators of different races looked at each other, then stood up and walked out tacitly. Just as they walked out of the room and closed the door, a burst of wailing and the sound of fists hitting flesh immediately came from the interrogation room.

“What should we do with this little thing? ”

The gnoll interrogator turned his gaze to the troll, after all, he was a member of the other tribe.

“Send the bill to his family, pay for the treatment and losses of the three injured. Then, send him to the Serah mine in the west to do hard labor for half a year.”

The troll thought for a while, stated his opinion, and turned his gaze back to his two companions.

“Okay! ”

The earth goblin and the gnoll nodded, and this matter was completely settled.

Although there were still shrill screams in the interrogation room behind them, the three of them knew that the warriors who were carrying out the punishment were measured and would only give the young troll a little trouble without hurting his bones and causing hidden dangers.

In recent years, since the establishment of the Joint Security Bureau, elites drawn from the three races have begun to enforce the law in Nasir Fortress. From the initial resistance and confrontation from the middle and high-level leaders and their families of the gnolls and trolls, to the later tacit approval and acceptance of this kind of management, the somewhat volatile confrontational emotions between the two races in the fortress have eased a lot as a result.

In fact, what really provokes the contradictions between the middle and lower levels of the two races are often the family members of the middle and high-level leaders. Relying on the status of their relatives in the tribe, they act recklessly in the city, oppressing ordinary residents and bringing extremely bad influences.

The existence of the Joint Security Bureau, with elites from the three races enforcing the law together, means that everyone doesn't have to worry about the identity and status of the criminals, and there is no way to favor their own tribesmen. Under the thunderous blows again and again, countless gnolls and trolls were put into prison and given severe punishments, which finally cleared up the chaotic situation in the middle and lower levels of the two races, and returned an orderly environment to the residents and merchants.

The middle and high-level leaders of the two races were certainly dissatisfied with the punishment of their relatives, but they were met with representatives from the Joint Council, who expressed the unified opinions of the higher-ups to these dissatisfied guys. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to hold it back.

Of course, even if they commit a major mistake, the Security Bureau will not easily sentence people to death, but will only send them to places with high labor intensity and harsh living environments such as mines and quarries to suffer. If the family behind the criminal is willing to spend money and help the criminal, their status can be improved, which can be regarded as appeasing the family members of these criminals.

What the Security Bureau expresses to the bottom is an attitude, that is, anyone who dares to violate the rules set by the Council will definitely be punished, so that the residents at the bottom can see a glimmer of hope.

As for the real situation under this appearance, there is no need to explain it to these bottom-level guys. They only need an illusory fairness.

The gnoll legendary priest, Cole, finally raised his eyebrows and exhaled. Now that he has a representative seat on the Council, he did not find a clever agent to be his stand-in like Maggot Eye did, to express his opinions on the Council.

Having finally gained a seat, and having been suppressed by Maggot Eye for a long time, Cole naturally would not delegate the task to others since he finally had a place to express his opinions.

Although most of the Council's energy is now focused on revising the Nasir Fortress regulations and the punishment for crimes committed by important members of the two races, there is basically no work that actually involves the specific internal affairs of the three races.

Each of the three races has six seats on the Council, one of which is held by a legendary powerhouse from each race, and the remaining seats are 'negotiated' and decided by the most powerful families of each race.

Originally, according to the method discussed with the Snowmane's major families, each family should have a seat, but with the return of Ariel, after realizing that he could not destroy the joint mechanism that had already taken shape and gained the joint support of the three races, Ariel changed his attitude and turned around to strongly demand a seat on the Council.

To this end, he also secretly contacted Cole, the priest who served the Gnoll King, and pulled him to act together. After all, they were two legends, and the troll's major families and Maggot Eye could not ignore their existence and strength, and finally made a compromise.

As a result, two of the six seats of the Snowmane tribe were taken by Ariel and his family. Although Cole did not establish his own family, he was able to gain Ariel's support and make his voice heard in the tribe, which was already a great step forward.

After all, he is an old fox. Before the tribal power struggle has come to an end, Ariel has used this series of pressures to give him 1/6 of the influence in the Council, which can be regarded as gaining a foothold in the Council. And when the winner of the tribal power struggle is determined in the future, Ariel believes that he will have more supporting votes, and then his influence in the Council will naturally be greater.

“… … The power of the Joint Security Bureau must be restricted. Their actions have seriously affected the normal management of our race! ! ”

The representative of the Snowme family slammed the wooden table in front of him, expressing his opinion sternly at the council meeting.

"I agree!!"

The representative of the Collins family, who should have been on the same side as Tim and the others, suddenly announced his stance, surprisingly choosing to support the Snowme family's representative, which somewhat surprised the Goodman family's representative.

The Collins family had no choice but to support the Snowme family representative's proposal, because the Collins family's fundamental interests lay in security and defense. The territory and influence that the family had cultivated for generations were now suddenly being encroached upon, with their law enforcement power constantly being taken away. How could they not feel a sense of crisis? Their defection at this time was only natural.

"Still restricting? The relatives of various families, and those brainless fools, extorting merchants, even collecting protection fees from ordinary people who are legitimately running businesses within their own clans, and destroying other people's livelihoods for no reason. Where were your local security and defense members then?"

"Just take today's conflict as an example. A 15-16 year old young troll injured two trolls and one goblin in the street. More than half a magic hour passed, where was the Snowme security guard that maintained order?"

"If the joint security bureau hadn't arrived and caught this young troll, he probably would have been able to return to his family unscathed and continue to live freely!!"

"Since you are irresponsible, then don't blame the joint security bureau for taking your jobs!!"

The representative of the Green Field Tribe spoke righteously and confidently.

...

Since the establishment of the court council mechanism, the goblin representatives of Green Field have been very active, constantly making proposals and making outstanding contributions to restoring orderly life in Nasir Fortress.

According to the secret talks between Allen and Facardo, Trick, and other high-level officials, after the establishment of the joint system, the Green Field Tribe must actively take action, whether in their own Muir Fortress or in Nasir Fortress controlled by trolls and gnolls.

The methods can be euphemistic, but the attitude must be tough, especially on certain core issues. The tribe can even mobilize the gnoll and troll chieftains they have bought off to put pressure on the middle and high levels of their respective tribes to achieve their goals.

Of the eighteen seats in the court council, excluding the six seats of the Green Field Tribe itself, the representatives of several major troll and gnoll families have intricate relationships with the Green Field Tribe, and three of them are completely influenced by the Green Field Tribe. This means that the Green Field Tribe actually has half the support in the court council, allowing many of their proposals to be passed.

For example, the law enforcement authority of the Joint Security Bureau, the registration and management of the Joint Taxation Bureau, and the unified dispatch and allocation of the Joint Chamber of Commerce, etc. The power of these institutions has been continuously expanded among the three races, which has damaged the interests of some families, but also greatly improved the taxes, income, and security of the three races.

Now, the joint mechanism is becoming more and more popular, and the independent ruling status of the three races themselves is becoming less and less present. At least on the surface, the Green Field Tribe's Muir Fortress is also affected by the court council.

Chieftain Yarel of the trolls can clearly feel the threat. If he continues to allow the court council to expand its power, then even if he regains control of the tribe in the future, he will not be able to make decisions on many matters.

However, the reality is cruel. Now, he not only does not have the ability to lead in the court council, but he is also at a disadvantage in the power struggle within the tribe.

Even so, he must make efforts to find ways to prevent the expansion of the power of the joint court council and its subordinate institutions.

Chieftain Maggot Eye of the gnolls has just recovered from the blow of being unable to return to his homeland and has cheered up again. Although the chieftains below him are constantly reflecting and protesting the deprivation of power, Maggot Eye has gone down to the grassroots level of the tribe to conduct on-the-spot inspections, and has found that under the many policies of the joint court council, the living environment of the chaotic and violent gnoll bottom class is gradually improving, and the reproduction of the tribe has reached a peak in many years.

Over the years, Maggot Eye has given up a large part of his own interests for the sake of the tribe's growth and development, but the effect has been minimal. Maggot Eye has also seen the lack of ability and greed of the chieftains and supervisors below him. It is not that he does not want to change, but his ability is not in managing the tribe, and there are not many ways.

Now, under the management of the joint court council, the tribe has reversed its initial depression and has a bit more vitality and vitality, which cannot but make Maggot Eye care.

Although Maggot Eye can vaguely feel that the joint court council itself has a significant impact on the tribe's independence, and may spread in the future, the growth and prosperity of the entire tribal population is more appealing to Maggot Eye than the loss of personal and family power.

Conflicting thoughts have actually been fighting in Maggot Eye's mind. In the end, in the face of the huge hidden danger of the Drow, he chose to support the reform of the court council.

His goal of returning to his homeland now seems to be difficult to achieve, but the Raven's Claw has been passed down for thousands of years, and it cannot be destroyed in his hands, after all, it is his life's witness.

...

Muir Fortress and Nasir Fortress Security Bureau are working together with the Intelligence Bureau to close the net. As a gift for the newly formed joint intelligence bureau of the three-race intelligence espionage system, Facardo issued an order to arrest the Drow spies that the tribal intelligence division had been monitoring for a long time. The Drow's espionage system, which had been laid out in Muir and Nasir fortresses for decades, was suddenly hit hard.

When Allen received the decision reported by Facardo and the others, he felt a little regret. If he wanted to dig out spies in the clan in the future, he would have to rely on the eyes and intuition of the children of the intelligence system.

However, he didn't say much. Giving the Joint Intelligence Bureau such a generous gift at least let the gnolls and trolls understand that their tribal middle levels had long been infiltrated by the Drow. Creating such a sense of crisis can make the trolls and gnolls feel the importance of their joint system.

The court council and many institutions that have been brought under the court council are the result of Allen's years of planning. Now, although the court council seems to be under the joint leadership and supervision of the three races, it is actually basically led by the Green Field Tribe in secret.

And in the Joint Chamber of Commerce, the Joint Security Bureau, and other institutions, the status of goblin chieftains is far more transcendent and important than that of the other two races.

In time, with the clever minds of the gnomes, coupled with the fierce and powerful strength of the earth goblins and bear goblins, they will inevitably be able to gradually make the joint body a tool in the hands of the Green Field Tribe to control the three races.

This is also the huge web that Allen has been laying out all along, and now it is only beginning to reveal a little of its fur.

In the next chapter, many of the decisions made by the protagonist may be similar to the dream woven by the illusionary flower fairy in the previous ruins. I hope you don't mind.

A little explanation is needed for the dream of the illusionary flower fairy. When the other party weaves the dream, in order to strive for realism, it is based on the real situation of the tribe in Allen's memory, and the development of the dream is promoted by the logic of the congratulatory gift, so in the end, the protagonist did not notice the problem.

And because the logic of the dream is clear, even if the protagonist returns to reality, he will make the same choice in many similar situations.
