Green Monster Epic

Chapter 658: Anomaly

Allen felt that the goblins of the Greenwild Tribe seemed to have developed a talent for construction, with almost every goblin family having someone involved in building.

From the tribe's rise, they had been constantly building stone structures—houses, castles, city walls, and so on. Later, the tribe's construction projects became larger and larger, including the wide roads connecting Green Lake Town, Rapid Current Bay, the quarry, and other important resources, and then the quarry's excavation of the mountains, the reconstruction of Namur Fortress…

It seemed that the Greenwild Tribe was constantly engaged in basic construction projects. Even now, with the excavation task of Mansha Quarry basically completed, there were still major projects such as Fate Fortress that were still consuming a lot of resources and manpower.

The construction talents that had been cultivated were now not only finding livelihoods in the Greenwild Tribe's territory, but also expanding to other surrounding tribes. Even the development and layout of the eastern foot of the Catoer Mountains were basically occupied by professional talents from the Greenwild Tribe.

If it weren't for taking into account the needs of the lower-level people of the other tribes for job opportunities, even the laborers doing hard labor would probably be taken over by the goblins of Greenwild.

Because Allen attached great importance to the development project on the eastern foot, the planning and construction speed of the eastern foot development was very rapid, from selecting a suitable frontier castle, to subsequently planning the most efficient roads, and even the preliminary actions such as the subsequent requisition of resources and labor, which took less than half a year.

It should be known that the allocation of resources and labor had to be discussed jointly by the six major tribes and two medium-sized tribe members of the Thorns Ring organization, and could only be promoted after reaching a consensus. Any tribe member's slightest nitpicking or repentance could indefinitely postpone the preliminary preparations.

However, such a thing did not happen. The reason was that after setting the resources and labor that each tribe needed to invest, Allen personally went to each tribe with the status of a demigod to talk with their leaders and high-level officials one by one, so that the other party could accept this plan frankly.

After everything was ready, a huge construction engineering team of more than seven thousand people was divided into several teams and began to pave roads and build bridges in the barren mountains and wild ridges.

At the same time, the gray dwarf branch that had cultivated countless generations in the Greenwild Tribe and had reproduced to a scale of more than a thousand people in Aulor Town, also dispatched more than a dozen elite exploration teams to begin careful and meticulous exploration work on the eastern foot of the Catoer Mountains.

There were also some druids drawn from various tribes to form small teams, who also entered the mountains, drawing topographical maps around the road planning, and recording the natural environment, plant and animal distribution in the mountains and valleys along the way.

Compared with scattered and unplanned adventurer teams wandering around in the jungle, the exploration and recording teams composed of professionals from various tribes could often find various resources more easily.

Of course, for large tribes, those scattered magic medicine plants and elusive magical beasts were naturally not their goals.

However, if they could find rich and hidden mineral veins buried under the soil and rocks; or find a widely distributed and reproduced magic medicine plant in a deep valley or between cliffs, indicating that this was a suitable environment for the growth of this type of plant, then each tribe would have a stable source of corresponding resources, which were the resource points that the tribe needed most to operate.

Allen was very clear in his heart that although the resources that everyone invested in the early stage were indeed not small, it was obviously not enough to make the tribes feel attached to each other. For the tribes, the investment of these resources could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. If there were more favorable conditions, betraying Allen would only be a matter of a moment.

Therefore, he needed to find more bargaining chips. Even if these resource points could not be developed in a short period of time, it would be enough to let the leaders of these tribes see the prospects for developing the eastern foot, and their will would naturally be firmer.

Because of Allen's ideas, for more than four years, the gray dwarves of Greenwild, the dark elves hired from Corima, and others continued to wander in the mountains, and they really found more than a dozen strongholds not far from the planned road and with operational value.

Eleven valleys and cliffs where plants such as Coagulation Vine, Three-leaf Windhair Chrysanthemum, and Night Light Grass grow and reproduce in large quantities, as well as several mineral veins that have been explored with certain reserves and can be mined, such as hematite, brass ore, and stardust sand.

The discovery of these resource points did strengthen the confidence of the leaders of the other tribes. After excavating these resource points, everyone took the initiative to propose increasing investment and controlling and operating the castle strongholds on the eastern foot and the dozen or so collection points as soon as possible.

"Are these supplies from our tribe?"

In front of the South City Gate, a long convoy of pack animals, carrying full loads of goods out of the city, blocked most of the road.

Looking at the orderly teams entering and leaving the city, Allen, who often came out for a walk from time to time, couldn't help but curiously pointed at the snake-like convoy of pack animals leaving the city on the ground and asked the captain of the city guard on duty on the city wall.

The high-level earth goblin warrior captain Bisher Pu heard Allen's inquiry and quickly replied in a deep voice: "No, patriarch, these are the supplies gathered by the Urok and Argon tribes in our fortress together, and they are preparing to send them to the construction site in the east."

"Oh, what about the supplies from our three tribes? Have they been sent over yet?"

Allen suddenly realized and asked casually.

"It seems not yet. I heard that because the southern tribes are purchasing supplies in our fortress, the prices of many supplies here have risen a lot. After some discussion, the Court Council decided to purchase a batch from our Green Lake Town."

"With one trip back and forth, I'm afraid our supply of supplies will be delayed for a while."

After hearing Bisher Pu's answer, the corners of Allen's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Interest is the eternal and firm bond that maintains the alliance relationship. Strong power seems omnipotent, but in fact it can only bring short-term deterrence and threats. Allen understood these truths very early, so he would not expand his so-called self-psychological perception brought about by his promotion to demigod and ask for anything from his surrounding colleagues.

For example, now, even if Allen no longer urges the tribes to provide follow-up resources and labor, the Urok and Argon tribes will take the initiative to send the resources that belong to their investment on time.

Nowadays, the leaders and high-level officials of several tribes are even more worried that Allen and the Maggot Eye Three Tribes will regret seeing the rich resource points on the eastern foot of the mountain, remember to exclude them, and the three tribes will monopolize the dozen or so resource points that have been found, as well as more undeveloped resource points.

After all, in terms of the tribal radiation range of the Catoer Mountains, it must be the sphere of influence of the Greenwild Three Tribes. Even if this matter is brought to the Mansha Alliance, it is unquestionable.

The more actively the kobolds and lizardmen acted, the more pleased Allen was. Only in this way could his own faction become more stable. Next, Allen would use this as a foundation to gradually stand up against the suppression of the other four demigod powerhouses and their tribes in the alliance.

With a sudden leap, Allen soared straight into the sky. The gale was fierce high in the sky, and the moisture was icy and bone-chilling, but when it reached Allen, it spontaneously dispersed to both sides, not daring to touch Allen's body in the slightest. This was the influence that a demigod powerhouse could achieve with just their aura and will.

Of course, with Allen's current unfamiliar strength, he could only influence the space within a dozen meters around him, but he could feel that this space under his control was changing a little every day.

Looking down at the ground, a gray-white long snake was constantly burrowing into the foothills in the northeast direction. Black dots like dust would sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, moving along the newly paved road, so small in Allen's eyes.

Deep in the mountains, about six or seven hundred miles east and slightly south of the location of the Mur要塞 fortress, a small city built against the mountain was slowly being constructed.

Allen's figure quickly flew over this area. No one noticed that above the clouds in the sky, a pair of eyes were staring at their movements. This was Allen's favorite thing to do in recent years.

After advancing to demigod, the increasing frequency of various prayer images appearing in his mind made it impossible for Allen to concentrate on self-cultivation and summarizing demigod experiences. Moreover, the practical work within the tribe had become increasingly professional, and the core stratum that had been replaced once was also very qualified, so Allen didn't need to worry too much.

Therefore, Allen had been unusually idle in the past few years. In addition to occasionally paying attention to the climate and disaster problems of Green Lake, he spent more time observing the development progress of the eastern foothills.

Allen often solved the magical beasts and harsh environments that might pose a threat to the construction team before these laborers and exploration teams arrived. Because of this, Allen's dimensional bag had many more magic glands and magic medicine plants. At the same time, he also fulfilled many promises to Figglas to make new magic dishes.

Boom! ! ! Boom boom! ! !

Dense explosions sounded on a high mountain in front that blocked the way forward. Although the construction team did not have legendary powerhouses like Allen who could forcefully break through the not-too-high mountain in front of them with a few moves, the Green Field's professional construction team also had its own methods.

The rich blasting experience accumulated over hundreds of years in the Mansha Quarry was enough to deal with the earth and stone mountain in front of them, which was only two or three hundred meters high. Although it could not be said to be easy, it was not a difficult task.

After a series of explosions, half of the mountain collapsed. After the collapsed mudslide returned to calm, under the command of the supervisors, a group of strong laborers, eager to try, rushed up with various tools.

The carriage, more than two meters wide, had no pack horse. Instead, an ogre, half a body taller than a bear goblin, was pulling it. In the ogre's hands, the modified carriage was like a earth goblin pushing a wheelbarrow, exceptionally easy. Even if the soil and stones piled up in the carriage formed a small mountain, it would shake and fall a lot of碎土石 when the ogre pulled the carriage.

The bear goblin swung a heavy mountain hammer. With one hammer, a boulder taller than him was broken in two on the spot, and then several trolls who had been waiting on the side cooperated to throw it onto the carriage and transport it out of the mountain.

Several goblin spellcasters in the sky added the Fly spell, staring intently at the mountain that had just been blown up. More than ten years of experience in quarry blasting had told them that their work was not over after the blasting. When cleaning up the blasted mountain, there was always the possibility of secondary and tertiary collapses, which posed a great threat to the cleaning laborers.

"The soil is loose about twenty-five meters down on the left side of the mountain…"

"Everyone, retreat! ! ! There's going to be a landslide! ! !"

The goblin, who had predicted a collapse in advance, issued a loud warning. The strong warriors working in the front didn't even think about it and abandoned the tools in their hands, fleeing back.

Before they could throw themselves far away, dense vibrations, accompanied by choking dust and air waves, directly submerged the group of laborers who had not run far.

When the dust settled, a group of laborers were covered in dust, but fortunately, no one was injured or killed due to the collapse. Soon, the laborers calmly went back, found their respective tools from the buried place, or returned to the supply point to receive new tools, and returned to work. No one wanted to strike because of the previous danger.

The earth goblin Zelong was in his forties, in his prime. He could have looked for a better and easier job, but unfortunately, he injured his eyes during an adventure in his early years. Now his eyesight is getting worse and worse, so many jobs do not meet the requirements.

With 4 sons and 3 daughters born in his family, Zelong chose to work in this mountain opening team because of the heavy burden of life. Although it was hard and dangerous, the salary was twice as high as that of ordinary laborers, and if there were accidents or injuries, there would be not only treatment but also compensation, which could be said to be excellent treatment.

Zelong had experienced this kind of sudden collapse no less than ten times, and now he was already used to it. As the supervisors issued instructions again, Zelong silently followed the vague figure of his companion in front and walked forward.

When he returned to the previous clearing field, the ground that had been cleared earlier was re-filled with the soil and stones that had collapsed from the mountain. Zelong searched for a long time before finding a tool from the pile of soil and stones, and then he lowered his head and started working.

The goblin blasting team members above their heads were immersed in the satisfaction of the previous effective warning, but they did not realize that there were signs of loosening on the half-cut mountain in front.

Drizzling! ! Drizzling! !

Zelong, who was burying his head in his work, suddenly found that fine, moist soil was falling from above his head like rain. Before he could look up and see what he had discovered, he only heard his companions around him suddenly move their steps and rush back.

"Not good! !"

At this time, the members of the blasting team realized that something was wrong. When they issued a warning, Zelong's eyes were already dark.

"My Lord is eternal, please bless your humble people! !"

With danger imminent and no hope of escape, Zelong could only silently pray in his heart, praying that the great Lord he believed in could protect his safety.

Above the sky, Allen, who was originally watching from the sidelines, suddenly saw in his mind the scene of the earth goblin kneeling and praying, with hundreds of tons of falling rocks pressing down on his body. His body reacted faster than his mind. The seemingly small dust of faith in his heart suddenly emitted a bright light, and an invisible energy suddenly crossed space and went straight to the collapse site under Allen's feet.
