Green Monster Epic

Allen returned to Green Lake Town with Facardo, not to send him off, but because Allen himself was preparing to reside in Green Lake permanently.

With Svara, the newly advanced Legend, stationed at Fort Muer, deterring ordinary individuals was not a problem at all. Moreover, the construction and management of the fort, which had already been on the right track, would not experience any turmoil despite the change of city lord.

After all, Allen had given Facardo plenty of time to hand over the reins, although the handover was not to Trist, the hobgoblin recommended by Facardo, but to Oliver, the hobgoblin Allen had transferred from Green Lake Town.

Both Trick and Facardo had been in their positions as city lord and town chief for a long time, so long that almost all of the middle and high-level leaders in their territories had been promoted by them.

Although Allen was watching over them from above and they didn't dare to be blatant, and although most of the tribal positions required assessment and actual merit for promotion, as long as humans were involved in these matters, unsavory issues such as power inheritance were unavoidable.

Allen's current approach was merely a stopgap measure, only slightly slowing down the emergence of powerful families within the tribe.

Compared to the somewhat unwieldy families of the Raven's Claw and Snow Elf tribes, the largest family in the Green Field Tribe was only Facardo's, with a population of just over two hundred, and only a handful who could be ranked in the tribal power structure. Therefore, it was too early and not the right time to rectify the problem of solidified family power.

On the way, they encountered two more heavy rainstorms. The torrential rain flowed from the depths of the Kator Mountains, washing out gullies on the roads built by the tribe, making it particularly difficult for vehicles to pass.

"It seems that a professional road maintenance team must be organized to carry out necessary maintenance on the roads built by the tribe."

Three carriages were blocked by a torrent that appeared after the heavy rain. Originally, there was no water source here, but later, as more rain clouds drifted in from the Green Field Plain, they fell on the depths of the Kator Mountains, and a small stream formed here.

The merchants and adventurers who traveled on the Green Lake trade route had originally taken materials on the spot and built a simple wooden bridge here, barely allowing trucks to pass. Now, after the erosion of the torrent following this heavy rain, there was no trace of the wooden bridge spanning the stream. The three carriages transporting Facardo's family property could only gaze at the muddy, roaring torrent and temporarily stop.

"The scale of that maintenance team恐怕 won't be small啊! !"

When Facardo heard what Allen said, he subconsciously began to ponder specific solutions, saying hesitantly.

"How much labor can it need? With problems like this, as long as the foundation is well laid, maintenance shouldn't take too much time."

Allen didn't think much of it. After all, he wasn't a professional and was only using his own abilities as a reference, so he didn't think it would be too difficult.

"Chieftain, two years ago, Trick and I jointly conducted a survey and roughly estimated the tribe's population, road mileage, and other conditions. Now, the roads we have built in the tribe have a total length of more than six thousand miles! !"

"If we calculate a maintenance team with thirty people and two supply carts, they won't maintain more than twenty miles a day at most. Even if they work all year round, we must maintain at least ten teams to maintain important roads in sections."

"Based on this calculation, the tribe will need to invest more than 20,000 gold coins in funds and material costs each year, which is a heavy burden on the tribe's finances! !"

Although he had stepped down, Facardo couldn't help but want to dispel Allen's spur-of-the-moment idea. Given this chieftain's wild ideas and lavish habits, once this idea took root in his mind, no matter the cost, whether the benefits outweighed the costs, it would have to be implemented.

As the person in charge of the actual overall planning of tribal resource allocation and labor allocation, Allen's sudden requests were a disaster for them. They had to disrupt all their previous plans and make adjustments as soon as possible so that Allen's orders could be perfectly executed.

However, Allen always looked at problems from a long-term perspective. Many times, it took a long time and continuous investment to see results. During this period, people often developed resistance or even rebellion due to the lack of effort, lack of gains, and other reasons. These all needed Facardo and the others to appease them one by one, which was very tiring.

Just like the idea Allen suddenly proposed at this moment, in countless tribes in the wilderness, no one would ever organize their people to do these things. Building a road in their own territory was considered visionary by these tribal leaders.

"Things can't be looked at that way. Organizing a maintenance team can provide hundreds of jobs, which means hundreds of families will have…"

Although Allen didn't understand the specific operations or how much it would cost, he was thinking about the long-term and incidental benefits of doing so.

"I don't recommend it anyway…"

Facardo had already stepped down and didn't need to please Allen, so he was now more confident in speaking and directly told Allen his thoughts.

By the time the goblin warriors accompanying the team had felled a few large trees from the mountain and built a usable pontoon bridge over the washed-out river, Allen and Facardo had already debated the matter thoroughly.

Passing by Corima Town in the gravel beach, the dark elves were also building extensively, constructing a tall dam outside the town along the river to resist the erosion of their town's low-lying area by the ever-growing Turbid Water Creek.

"Chieftain Allen, would you like to visit our town and give some guidance? ?"

The dark elf scouts discovered Allen and his party, and soon the dark elf town guard Ted personally came out of the town to greet Allen and his party, inviting them with friendliness and enthusiasm.

"No, we're just passing by."

Allen smiled amiably and politely declined.

The gravel beach had changed a lot. The dark elves who pursued the light seemed to have the same preference as their northern relatives, which was to cultivate gardening into an art. Everywhere inside and outside the town was full of flowers.

Roses, roses, and other vine plants, under the care of the dark elves, were woven into animal patterns, looking like animals covered in flowers from a distance.

Wherever they could plant and open up gardens, the dark elves didn't miss it, planting green, vibrant plants everywhere, making their entire town seem to be in a green forest.

In the center of the town, a huge ancient tree nearly a hundred meters high stretched out its branches in all directions, covering the entire town in greenery, as if protecting the town.

In Allen's memory, there didn't seem to have been such a huge ancient tree here before. How did the dark elves cultivate such a tall ancient tree in such a short time?

"It can be seen that your town is developing well!"

Ted walked side by side with Allen. The two tribes now had frequent exchanges. Corima Town donated many precious books they brought out from the underground to the Green Lake Town Library. In return, the several major academies of Green Lake Town were also open to the dark elves, allowing them to study in the academies.

The more exchanges there were, the weaker the animosity between the two tribes naturally became. The resource scarcity problem that had originally constrained the development of the dark elves had also been alleviated with the joint development of the depths of the Kator Mountains and the gradual increase in the flow of the Turbid Water Creek. In addition, through commercial trade with Green Lake Town or Fort Namur, the dark elves were basically able to achieve self-sufficiency.

"I must also thank Chieftain Alan and your people for your care, which has allowed us outsiders to integrate into this land and live in peace."

Ted was indeed sincerely grateful. He originally thought that Alan's placement of them in the Shingle Beach was to curb the development of the dark elves. But who would have thought that when the goblins built the Green River Trade Route, they deliberately took a detour to connect the Shingle Beach, immediately dispelling most of the dark elves' doubts that the goblins would suppress them.

Later, whether it was leading the dark elves to join the Thorns Ring team, or allowing the dark elves to study and work in Green Lake Town, all of these proved that the goblins had no intention of suppressing the dark elves.

Although the dark elves, who separated from the drow, also have suspicious personalities, at least so far, the dark elves have not discovered any actions by the goblins that show ill intentions towards them.

"That also requires you to be willing to express goodwill and abide by the rules of our wilderness, otherwise our neighbors will not easily let go of their prejudices against you!!"

Alan said this, but in reality, everyone knew very well that among the six major tribes in the North, only Alan's Green Field Tribe had no aversion or resistance to the dark elves. None of the other major tribes are willing to associate with the dark elves to this day.

The Green Field Tribe seems not to target or curb the development of the dark elves, but because of what their main branch, the drow, has done in the North, the dark elves can only live peacefully in the territory of the Green Field Tribe, or travel tens of thousands of miles to Mansa City for adventures.

Even in the territory of the Green Field Tribe, in recent years, because adventurers from the south and north have been active around the Cato Mountains, many unscrupulous guys have also extended their evil hands to the drow, causing many drow to disappear.

For this reason, the dark elves took the initiative to find the Green Field Tribe, and the two tribes jointly established a patrol elite, wandering around the Cato Mountains, and would rush to rescue as soon as they discovered any dark elves or Green Field goblins sending out warning signals.

Ted didn't stop until he had sent Alan and his people out of his town's territory, stopping at Alan's request, watching the backs of Alan's group slowly disappear on the horizon.

Turning back, Ted's face was solemn, his eyes erratic, reflecting his inner worries.

The news brought by Kirill, the demigod of the Ranger Church, made Ted feel uneasy. The fact that Alan, this bear goblin, had broken through the demigod bottleneck and would soon be promoted to demigod was really not a good thing for the dark elves.

In recent years, the dark elves and the goblins seem to get along well, but in fact, the high-level dark elves have always been deeply wary of their neighbors.

At the beginning, the goblins did not like the dark elves settling here. For this reason, the bear goblin leader even turned against the Oak Church. However, after the dark elves really settled temporarily in the Shingle Beach, the goblins suddenly changed their attitude, and the friendliness and rationality they showed were in stark contrast to their previous behavior.

If there was nothing planned in this, it was obviously impossible.

Even if the dark elves reproduce slowly, they have been constantly excavating believers from the Drow Federation in recent years, expanding themselves. Together with the vassal slaves who have migrated up, such as the underground rat people, gray dwarves, minotaurs, etc., the scale has exceeded 30,000.

Such a large tribe is within the sphere of influence of the Green Field Tribe, and they can maintain peace. Anyway, in the eyes of Ted and other suspicious dark elves, it is very abnormal.

Ted and the others have always maintained a good relationship with the Oak camp, and the kingdom of the Gloom Maiden has gradually approached the kingdoms of the Ranger Goddess and the New Sprout Goddess. They are already allies in the same camp, which will make the Green Field Tribe somewhat hesitant.

Although it is not advisable to pin hopes on external pressure to make the Green Field Goblins give up the idea of targeting the dark elves, Ted and the others really don't have many means to prevent the Green Field Goblins.

Now, as the Green Field Bear Goblin leader breaks through the demigod, then when the other party is stronger, it may be the most dangerous time for the Kori Ma dark elves.

… … … …

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed, and the power struggle between the two fortresses in the Cato Mountains has gradually eased.

Chief Yarel of the Snomi clan, relying on his years of control over the tribe, has enough prestige and credibility among the bottom-level trolls. Therefore, he won people's hearts from the grassroots level and quickly supported a dozen or so large and small leaders and their families. Moreover, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Joint Court Council to continuously expand power, Yarel provoked and stirred up trouble, and eventually caused rifts in the hearts of several major families.

Elder Tim has also been very tired these years. Although several major families still support him, everyone has gradually had their own ideas and is unwilling to be constantly deprived of the power in their hands. This makes Tim and the Goodman family behind him very headache.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the leaders in the middle level firmly supported Tim, they might have been taken back the power by Yarel.

But even so, the important power of the Snomi clan is now divided into several pieces, which are divided by the three gradually divided forces in their clan.

Taking advantage of the convenience of the contract signed with Yarel, the drow began to freely enter and exit Nasir Fortress, saying that they were going to Cato Mountains for adventures, but in fact they were constantly and slowly integrating into the lives of the three races, so as to achieve the purpose of extending their tentacles into the fortress.

The scene of the gnoll clan is much better than that of the divided trolls. Although there is also an unstable factor in the clan, the priest Kerr, who believes in the evil god Gnoll King, has not troubled the clan less. However, the two legends, Maggot Eye and Bobier, have been advancing and retreating together, staring at Kerr's various actions to death, and not letting him cause major problems.

At the same time, the Joint Court Council effectively governed and rectified the contradictions and conflicts between the two races in Nasir Fortress. The bottom-level trolls and gnolls began to slowly let go of their previous vigilance and had some exchanges with each other.

The bottom-level trolls and gnolls no longer kill each other and hate each other, and the corresponding trade activities have also expanded, so that the middle and high levels of the three races have also benefited from this, and the benefits distributed to them every year have increased.

The more frequent the trade, the more job opportunities there are, especially with the continuous expansion of the joint mechanism, which allows trolls and gnolls to enter and exit Namur Fortress more freely. The improvement of the lives of the bottom level has also brought a new wave of births.

As for the Green Field Tribe, most of their energy has recently been placed on the Green Field Plain in the west. After the change of the city owner of Namur Fortress, in addition to continuously sending large quantities of materials to the west, they have been very silent at other times.

However, in the Court Council, the Joint Chamber of Commerce and other institutions, the figures of the goblins are very active, gradually mastering the discourse power of various institutions, leading the people of the three races to build the two fortresses in Cato Canyon better and better.

After various rules and regulations were established in the fortress, it was of great benefit to a stable life. The living conditions were safe, and it was located in a strategic location. The northern drow no longer made things difficult for the trade route. For a time, trade activities reached a new peak, bringing rich returns to the three races.

With the guarantee of interests, the middle and lower-level natives in Nasir Fortress will naturally support the reform institutions such as the Court Council and the Joint Security Bureau, and the high-level people who have already distributed the most benefits are not good at resisting the institutions of the joint body. The feedback to the Court Council and other institutions is that the power of these institutions is stabilized and there is a trend to continue to expand.
