Green Monster Epic

“I am very grateful for your help, General, and I am also very sorry for the losses you have suffered!!”

Alan was in a disheveled state, and on the exposed skin where there was no scale armor to protect him, one could still vaguely see the scars left by the previous violent storm.

Opposite him, Angus and Daniel were in far worse condition than himself, and the injuries they suffered seemed even more severe than Alan, who was in the center of the storm. Further away, only half of the orc spellcasters were still able to stand and move, helping to rescue their seriously injured teammates and collect the belongings of their fallen comrades, creating a heavy atmosphere.

Lucas and Adler, along with the other three humans, took advantage of the unabated natural storm to quietly retreat westward. Although Alan wanted to continue chasing them, he stopped when he saw the condition of the orcs on the ground.

Alan certainly had the strength to spare, but he also knew very well that relying on himself alone to pursue those three human powerhouses would not yield any glorious results even if he caught up with them. On the contrary, he might fall back into a cycle of being counter-pursued.

Fortunately, his goal of revenge could be considered achieved. Even a demigod battle profession's physical body was so battered in such a violent and merciless natural storm, so the more fragile bodies of Adler and Lucas, the two human spellcasters, would definitely be more severely injured than him.

“Although I don’t know the origin of you, warrior, anyone who fights against that group of greedy and shameless humans is a friend of our Orc Empire!!”

Angus laughed heartily, not taking the losses of his team to heart. If he could exchange such losses for the friendship of such a powerful Gnoll powerhouse, Angus would probably be even more proactive and devoted if he had the chance to do it again.

The great war between humans and orcs had passed for a hundred years. For the ordinary orc warriors at the bottom, their hatred for humans might have become somewhat diluted, often stemming from the stories and admonitions of the older generation. However, for powerhouses like Angus and Daniel, who had personally participated in that tragic and protracted war, no one could forget what the humans had done on the Orc Empire's land, nor had they forgotten the former homeland that had now been annexed by humans.

For example, Daniel, the legendary heavy sniper archer, grew up during that great war and found his own path to legend. The opportunity that allowed Daniel to find his path to legend was when he personally witnessed the human army massacre the small town where he had grown up, raping and killing the neighbor's young lady he admired…

This strong hatred made Angus and Daniel, these high-level leaders of the empire, never forget their hostility towards humans, nor did they forget their vow to reclaim their homeland.

Therefore, when Angus saw Alan fighting with the human powerhouses Lucas and the others, he made a choice and decision without even thinking, joining the attack on the human powerhouses.

Regardless of what grudges occurred between this human powerhouse, the dragon, and the unfamiliar Gnoll, and regardless of whether the Gnoll belonged to the side of justice or the side of evil, in the eyes of Angus and the others, these two human spellcasters and the dragon that was most likely a human druid transformation were all existences above the legendary level. If they could kill any one of them, it would be equivalent to weakening the strength of the humans.

“My name is Alan Wythe, chieftain of a goblin tribe called Greenwild in the Mansha Wastelands.”

Alan smiled and introduced himself.

“So you are the newly advanced demigod of the Mansha Alliance. We have long heard of your reputation, but we didn’t expect to meet you here!!”

Powerhouses above the demigod level are objects of admiration and importance in any civilization and force in the Feyman world. As a long-time ally of the Orc Empire, the Zergon forces of the Mansha Alliance are certainly loose, but the Orc Empire also pays attention to major events that occur in the wilderness, and the matter of Alan, this newly advanced demigod, has naturally spread among the high-level officials of the Orc Empire.

“I actually didn’t plan to make this trip to the Orc Empire. I was just being chased by three human powerhouses and had no choice but to flee to your empire’s territory.”

“If it weren’t for your support, I don’t know how long it would have taken me to shake off these three humans.”

Alan didn't try to flatter himself, and frankly stated the fact that he was being chased.

“Why would they chase you, sir?”

Angus waved to the distance, and the surviving orc spellcasters began to help up their injured companions and carry the bodies of their fallen comrades, heading towards the fortress.

“I myself don’t know why…”

Alan shook his head and replied helplessly.

“In any case, now that you have come to the territory of my Orc Empire, we must treat you well. Please, sir, honor us with your presence.”

Angus didn't pursue the matter. Since the other party was unwilling to speak, there must be his reasons.

It was rare for this newly advanced demigod of the wilderness to appear around Pandal Fortress. As the host, Angus had to seize the opportunity to connect with this demigod and build a relationship.

“Then I will definitely have to trouble you, General!!”

Alan gladly accepted. Although this scene was not in the plan, Alan couldn't refuse the other party's invitation when they had suffered significant losses.

Moreover, he had lived for more than two hundred years and had never traveled to the land of the Orc Empire. What he knew about the Orc Empire and its intelligence was mostly derived from books and rumors, so there must be many inaccuracies. He might as well take this accidental experience to observe this land properly and see if there was anything worth learning from.

Daniel, the legendary archer, was very quiet, his eyes like torches scanning the surrounding environment, guarding against possible attacks. From time to time, he would also glance over Alan, revealing a few hints of admiration and awe in his eyes.

In the previous great battle, Alan's unparalleled figure of fighting three human powerhouses alone, as well as the滔天 storm stirred up by the aftermath of his confrontation with the demigod Lucas, would involuntarily inspire awe in the hearts of anyone who had personally experienced it.

… … … …

The three human powerhouses, also looking disheveled, flew rapidly until they reached human territory before gradually stopping.

The thin robes and divine robes on the three people were originally exquisite and delicate fabrics, but now they were covered with holes of various sizes. Along the distribution of the holes, there were also mottled marks left by crimson bloodstains. After confirming that there were no pursuers behind them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Adler and Lei couldn't help but feel a few lingering fears in their hearts.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Alan or the orc powerhouses who came later, but the impact that the aftermath of the demigods had on them was indeed not small.

As legendary powerhouses, the two of them directly faced the aftermath of the battle with the demigod. They were caught in a relentlessly violent storm, constantly tumbling. Even with all their strength, they could barely maintain their own safety. The feeling of being involuntarily tossed around in the storm was a profound experience for these legendary figures, who were accustomed to absolute control over their surroundings, including their own bodies and actions.

"It seems our pursuit target this time is correct!"

Demigod fire mage Lucas's eyes flashed with a cold light. The previous setback was a humiliation that the proud mage would remember.

"If our intelligence is correct, this goblin bear chieftain has only been promoted to demigod for a little over a decade. There's absolutely no way he can directly withstand my strongest magic!"

"Unless he inherited the remaining divine sense legacy of the Father of the Oak in the Mingxi Forbidden Land, he wouldn't have his current strength!"

Lucas sought excuses for his failure. At the same time, it was indeed a reasonable explanation for Allen's burst of power to resist the most powerful attack of the demigod mage in the previous battle.

However, Lucas and the others made a mistake in their assumptions. Although there was indeed a shadow of divine power in Allen's strike, it did not originate from the long-dormant Father of the Oak. Instead, it was the divine power generated by the combination of the goblin bear Allen's own anger and the power of faith provided by his believers as he embarked on the path to becoming a god.

"Yes, I can also feel a faint aura of divine power."

As a priest who often dealt with divine power, Adler was very familiar with it, although he could not sense the existence of the power of faith.

Carefully recalling Allen's earth-shattering slash, the power contained within was definitely not something that a mere berserker's anger could display, even if it was a demigod-level berserker powerhouse.

"So, what do we do now?"

Druid Lei, while scattering warm and fresh natural energy to heal the wounds on himself and his companions and dispel their fatigue, raised the question.

"The other party will definitely not act alone again. He will inevitably return to the wilderness from the territory of the orc empire. It will probably be difficult for the three of us to have another chance to intercept the goblin bear like before."

"Let's go back and report the matter about this goblin bear to the church to see how they handle it."

Lucas sighed deeply, inevitably feeling some regret in his heart. However, reason told him that their actions had no meaning in continuing, but at least there were still some results.

"At least in the future, this goblin bear demigod will be the focus of attention for our various kingdoms and churches."

"Indeed!"

Adler and Lei couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Regardless of whether there was a secret related to the Father of the Oak on this goblin bear Allen, as long as there was this suspicion, then humans would definitely not sit idly by and allow this most powerful and core god of the nature god system to reawaken from his slumber.

Although, in the depths of the endless starry sky, the human gods located in their respective eternal kingdoms were all very clear about how difficult it was for a god whose kingdom had fallen to reawaken from slumber and ascend the throne again, and how long it would take.

… … … …

At this time, Allen was not aware of the consequences of his retaliation against the other party's pursuit over the past few days, and how much trouble it would bring him. He was now admiring the orc fortress named Pander with great interest.

This was a city with a heroic spirit. The buildings pieced together from huge logs looked very rough, but the various totem images carved on each log were not only the representatives of the gods believed in by the orcs, but also the legendary stories left in the long river of orc empire history.

Many buildings were inlaid with various bone materials, including the pyramid tops made of stacked human skulls, beast leg bones thicker than Allen's height, and horns that were very likely derived from a legendary demon or devil.

These magical materials, which seemed to have extremely high value, were actually embedded into the magnificent and rough buildings by the orcs, which Allen felt was somewhat of a waste.

"… … Do you see the four horns protruding from the four support corners on the roof of the Zhenyuan Building? Those were the horns cut off from the heads of two legendary Soul Judges personally killed by the previous legion commander of our legion two hundred years ago."

"… …"

Angus proudly introduced to Allen the various bone materials inlaid on many tall buildings along the way.

Just as Allen had guessed before, many of the bone materials were very precious materials in the eyes of outsiders. What Allen couldn't understand was why these orcs would embed such precious materials into these buildings.

"It seems that Your Excellency Allen doesn't know much about our orc race!"

After entering the city, Daniel took the spellcaster team back to the barracks. Now, only Angus, the commander of the fortress, accompanied Allen. Seeing Allen's somewhat puzzled and doubtful expression, Angus understood and laughed, explaining to Allen.

"The human race has an extremely imaginative mind, so they created the profession of knight, which was born solely for war. Although our orc race has also been developing and cultivating our own knight talents in recent years, in the early years when we fought against the armies led by human knights, we relied more on the unique totem priest profession of our orc race."

"And these tall and majestic buildings are actually war altars themselves. They are important tools for totem priests to bless our orc warriors and legions with magic, withstand attacks and magic…"

It wasn't an important secret. It was just that Allen, the leader who lived far in the north, couldn't pay close attention to the orc empire, so he didn't understand many things about the orcs and felt curious.

In order to gain the favor of this demigod powerhouse and make him feel the importance that the orc nation placed on him, Angus was now explaining in detail to Allen what these buildings, which were carved with countless complex totems and inlaid with many precious materials, were used for.

"… … Just like the building in front of us, the core totem inside originates from our orc race's mother goddess—Rousay. During the war, moving this altar to the battlefield, with the power of the totem priests, can bless a legion of ten thousand with brute force, continuously heal the external injuries of the wounded soldiers in the army, and provide strong physical strength and toughness…"

Angus eloquently introduced a magnificent building in front of him to Allen, and Allen also understood from the other party's explanation how powerful the foundation of the orc race, which could co-govern the two continents of the Feyman world with the other three races, was.

In comparison, the loose tribal alliance in the Manta Wilds presented a state that made the four major civilizations look down upon them!!
