Green Monster Epic
#658 - Retirement
Welcoming and sending off people was something Allen disliked the most, but it was also something he had to do.
Fortunately, his wearing such a false smile wasn't without reward. Each envoy's arrival meant he would receive a valuable congratulatory gift. After all, he had broken through to demigod status, even if he could only be considered a half-step demigod. Still, his prestige was there, so the gifts couldn't be shabby if they were there to congratulate him and build relationships.
Among them, the gift from Garvin, the demigod mage of the Assassins' Guild, was the most valuable and understood Allen's needs the most.
A Legendary Inheritance Crystal recorded a Legendary Specialization that Allen considered a timely rain—Transcendent Sainthood.
If you only looked at the general description of Transcendent Sainthood, although its characteristics were also very powerful, it wasn't without means to deal with it. In particular, this Specialization was aimed at specific damage reduction, which, in practice, had a good effect against spellcasting professions.
However, in Allen's eyes, after learning the direction of physical strength improvement, he felt that this Specialization Crystal was simply tailor-made for him.
The so-called Transcendent Sainthood is the conversion of the body being attacked into an energy form in a short period of time, thereby weakening the magical damage attached to magic or magic weapons, but it will reduce the defense ability against pure physical attacks.
This Legendary Specialization, which rarely appeared on the market and which Allen, who had been focusing on collecting Legendary Specialization information, didn't even know about, might not be very attractive to other Legendary powerhouses. Not every Legendary powerhouse would specialize in mastering a difficult Specialization to contend with spellcasters.
After all, this Specialization was essentially born specifically to restrain spellcasters.
Now, Allen's body is gradually transforming towards energy, but because the speed is too slow, it has delayed Allen's advancement to demigod.
If he could learn from this Specialization Crystal how to achieve the transformation of the body into energy, it might help Allen complete the complete advancement faster.
This may be the reason why Garvin, the demigod of the Assassins' Guild, sent this gift.
Happily putting this Specialization Crystal into his pocket, waiting to sort out the things in front of him before officially restarting his secluded life, Allen quickly ushered in another surprise.
"Chieftain, I'm back! !"
The majestic and radiant earth goblin, Svara, led four companions and knocked on the door of Allen's castle. Facing the powerful aura emanating from Allen, his upright body also exuded the aura unique to Legendary powerhouses, contending with Allen's aura.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! !"
Allen was indeed very gratified. This was the second Legendary powerhouse cultivated by the tribe. With his experience, perhaps it wouldn't be long before the third and fourth Legendary powerhouses would appear.
"Did you see Elder Kerr? Did she give you the things I sent you?"
"… Uh, I saw her."
Svara's expression was awkward and embarrassed, and the four companions behind him naturally revealed a look of fear in their eyes.
Although Svara was able to take that final step, it was indeed thanks to the slaughter caused by Kerr, but Svara and Rabana and the other five also paid a heavy price.
Originally, Svara and the others could have returned to the tribe to report half a year ago, but after being severely repaired by Kerr, the five of them had to recuperate in Mansa City for more than four months before barely recovering their combat power.
You must know that Mansa City has the best healing priests in the wilderness. Kerr naturally had to take care of the aftermath of her own affairs, and spent a lot of money to invite priests to heal the five people. Even so, the five people still recuperated for such a long time before barely recovering, which shows the severity of their injuries.
As soon as Allen saw the expressions of these people, he knew that Kerr had probably caused some trouble again, but he couldn't ask in detail. After all, she was his most beloved disciple. What would he do if these five people complained about her?
"From now on, you can concentrate on training here in the fortress. I have prepared two Legendary Crystals for you. Before you have completely mastered these two Legendary Specializations, don't even think about going anywhere."
"Now that you have been promoted to Legendary, according to the regulations formulated by the tribe, you can directly be promoted to Elder. But if you want to master the real power of the tribe, then you still have several choices…"
Legendary powerhouses are valuable wealth for any tribe in the wilderness. Just because he was cultivated by the tribe and is loyal to the tribe, doesn't mean that he can unconditionally accept the tribe's requirements.
If you really want to make the Legendary powerhouses one with the tribe for a long time, you still have to give the Legendary powerhouses the corresponding status and power. Allen will naturally not be stingy. At this time, he offered the conditions for Svara to reach the sky in one step in front of everyone.
"Thank you, Chieftain."
Svara said gratefully and excitedly.
The eyes of Rabana and the other four also couldn't hide their envy, mixed with a trace of jealousy.
"You four have also worked hard. Now that the mission is complete, Facado will arrange suitable positions for you later. If you are not satisfied with anything, or if you want anything, you can ask Oliver, and he will meet your requirements."
Allen would naturally not forget the contributions of the four little guys, and made a kind promise to them.
"Thank you, Chieftain. These are all things we should do."
Wesley and the others were actually a little excited. Being able to personally meet Allen, the idol they had admired since childhood, and hear his teachings, was a glory that hundreds of thousands of goblins in the tribe could not ask for.
"You must also work hard, and I hope that among you, someone can embark on the same path as Svara! !"
"Yes! !"
"We will definitely work hard! !"
Several people made a solemn guarantee.
Although the tribe had already given them and their families enough compensation before the four were selected as Svara's death squad guards, now that they have returned safely, they must also be rewarded.
Being selected as a death squad is enough to show their loyalty to the tribe. It would be really unreasonable not to reward such goblins.
With Svara's return, Allen can be considered liberated, and he doesn't have to stay in that Muir Fortress anymore. Moreover, it is estimated that for a long time, this kid Svara will have to stay obediently in the fortress, while studying hard to master the Legendary Specialization, while acting as a deterrent force, deterring the villains inside and outside the city.
Of course, before that, Allen had to take this kid to the regular meeting of the Thorns Ring and to the Nasir Fortress in the north to publicize the fact that the tribe had produced another Legendary powerhouse.
"… Svara is a good kid. With him and Kerr in the tribe in the future, I can rest assured! !"
Facado was preparing to ask Allen for a leave of absence, so Allen rarely called him to his castle, and the two had a good private dinner.
It was impossible for him to retire voluntarily; no one who has tasted the flavor of power would willingly give it up. However, the tribe was never something Facardo could decide. The one who truly controlled the entire tribe was Allen, the chieftain who seemed to no longer be involved in tribal affairs.
Although Allen didn't forcefully demand the resignation of old fellows like Facardo as he did in the illusory dream, he didn't skimp on occasionally reminding them.
Not only Facardo, but also Trick of Green Lake Town, was in the same situation. Under Allen's hints, the handover of work in Green Lake Town had already begun in an orderly manner.
"He is very good, but if you want him to preside over specific affairs, I'm afraid he still needs training and cultivation."
Swala was a talent who came from the Moor Fortress. Facardo naturally appreciated this legend. However, before finding the road to become a legend, Swala himself was not considered very outstanding in the fortress. Therefore, Facardo didn't take much care of him, and their relationship was certainly not too close. So, when evaluating this newly promoted legend, Facardo was able to remain objective.
"But I think, since he can reach his current strength, he must have talent. As long as you give him some time to learn, everything will not be difficult."
Swala made his choice. He hoped to be in charge of some real power in the tribe, instead of being like Allen and Kour, who, although being the tribal chief and elder, did not hold any real positions in the tribe.
Allen voluntarily relinquished power, while Kour was naturally不喜欢 to manage affairs, preferring a free lifestyle.
Allen would certainly satisfy Swala's request, and Facardo had no reason or power to refuse, directly sending him to the Fortress City Defense Army as a commander.
Allen could understand that such a young goblin who had climbed up from the bottom was at the age when he was full of ambition for secular power and status. He might not really want to seize power from the city lord, but he certainly wanted to prove himself.
Facardo didn't care. Anyway, he was about to retire, and it seemed impossible for his children to inherit his position. Then, let the new city lord worry about the division of power.
Before retiring, Facardo had already selected suitable positions for his children. The family's future might not be as glorious as when he was the city lord, but with the care of the goblin subordinates he had promoted, there would be no problem for the family to develop steadily for the next few decades.
"So, what about you? What do you want to do after retirement?"
The retirement of Facardo and Trick was very different from the retirement of other middle and high-level members of the tribe.
After the other middle and high-level members of the tribe passed their peak period of energy and combat power, they basically had to start considering stepping down from core positions.
First, the decline in the strength of the leader often leads to the disintegration of discipline in his team. The rules of the wilderness respecting the strong, even now, the Green Field Tribe cannot eradicate, nor has it ever thought of completely eradicating it; second, the tribe has a large number of successor talents, and the new generation of talents ultimately needs a stage to display and exercise their abilities. However, no matter how powerful the tribe is, there will not be too many positions with real power. Therefore, relatively frequent power transitions can better mobilize the enthusiasm of the tribesmen.
However, it is different for the power holders of the two core cities. It is not an easy task to cultivate a power holder with outstanding abilities such as a sense of the overall situation, knowing people and being good at using them, and strong decision-making ability. Just like legendary powerhouses, truly excellent, or even just qualified, power holders are rare and require long-term cultivation. Therefore, the retirement of Facardo and Trick is more because their bodies and energy can no longer keep up with the needs of the tribe, which is why they made such a choice.
"I just want to go back to Green Lake Town now, take a walk by the lake every day, and find a few old guys to go fishing together."
On Facardo's aging bear face, the hair was almost falling out, and the bald appearance was somewhat ridiculous. When he heard Allen ask about his plans, Facardo showed a calm smile and replied easily.
Although he was not willing to retire, Facardo could still understand Allen's choice. After all, his father, Shisheng, had retired at about the same age, and he had been mentally prepared for it.
"Have you ever thought about continuing to contribute your remaining energy?"
Allen gently picked up a chopstick of vegetables and placed it in Facardo's bowl.
"Chieftain, aren't you making things difficult for me? I can't even walk without this thing now, what remaining energy can I contribute!"
Facardo smiled wryly and patted the cane placed on his left hand side.
"You don't need to spend much energy. Just let you and Trick be supervisors and build a fortress at the entrance of the Mansha Quarry!"
Allen finally prepared to follow the practice in the illusion and settle the old bear goblin in front of him, which can be regarded as comforting them for their hard work over the years. (See Chapter 100 of this volume for details)
"In the future, the two fortress castles built in the Mansha Passage will be named after you two."
"...Chieftain, are you kidding me?"
"Do you see me joking?"
Allen frowned and tried to look serious.
"Then..."
Because of Oscar's joining and the deliberate goodwill of the Oak Church, Allen learned more secrets about the depths of the Endless Sea.
In the depths of the Endless Sea, there really are powerful marine empires, and more than one. Among them are the powerful and cruel Nagas, the beautiful mermaids, and even the marine giants who can live in the seabed...
These empires seem to have little interest in the Mansha Wilderness, but this is only because marine creatures basically cannot live without water, and the vast seabed world is actually far richer in resources than the surface world. Therefore, the races in the ocean will not go ashore for no reason.
However, these are not absolute. There are also races in the ocean that have been expelled from the mainstream world, such as the ugly and ferocious Sahuagin, and the swamp toads who like corrosion and humidity...
These races are exiled and hunted by the mainstream marine races, so they can only migrate to shallow seas, so that the surface world has intersections. As long as there is a chance, they will not hesitate to bring destruction and disaster to the weak existences on the coastline of the surface.
The Mansha Wilderness has always rarely had the figures and stories of marine races, thanks to the protection of the two majestic and continuous Mansha Mountains, which are regarded as burdens by the Green Field Tribe. Rising sharply from sea level to thousands of meters, the natural barrier formed will not arouse any marine life's interest in landing.
However, with the opening of the Mansha Passage, the ocean and the Mansha Wilderness may have an intersection. If no precautions are taken in advance, Allen cannot guarantee that amphibious marine natives such as the Sahuagin and swamp toads will not come to the Green Field Plain to loot.
Therefore, building two defensive castles relying on the natural chasm at both ends of the passage is a very effective and necessary action.
