Green Monster Epic

Chapter 757: Drawn by Scent

As news of the tribe's and Allen's personal encounters spread, people soon came from afar to visit Allen, who was recuperating in the new castle, interrupting his quiet time.

"Allen, can you give me the inside scoop? Which faction was really behind the assassination attempt on you?"

Bricken, the de facto ruler of the super clan Black Meteor Rotbone and a demigod powerhouse, received information from the clan's representative stationed in Mansa City and decided to personally travel to Mansa City to meet Allen.

Bricken's reason for coming to Mansa City is not hard to guess: he is full of doubts about the real enemy who assassinated Allen and wants to hear the real truth from Allen's mouth.

"Lord Bricken, what do you mean by that? I revealed the suspected targets who assassinated me to all the representatives at the Alliance meeting before. Coupled with the invasion of my Greenwood tribe in the Northern Territory, the answer is already very clear!"

"I don't believe that there are such coincidences in the world, that two groups of people would target my Greenwood tribe and me at the same time. Moreover, the group of people who assassinated me directly mobilized two demigod existences and more than a dozen legendary powerhouses. This is not something that ordinary forces can do!!"

Allen pretended to be puzzled and looked at the jackal-headed demigod in front of him with suspicion.

"Allen, the wilderness is indeed not very big compared to the North and South continents, but it is also not small. The alliance has been established for tens of thousands of years and has stood the test of countless storms and disasters. The ways inside are not as simple as they seem on the surface."

"You should also be able to feel that since you were promoted to demigod, I have been the most supportive of you joining the core circle among us old guys, and I am also the most hopeful to see you gain a foothold and break the balance of the past few hundred years."

"At least in some ways, you and I don't have much conflict of interest. On the contrary, I think you and I should be the most suitable partners."

"That old thing Da Vinci has been flaunting his strength as a Saint in the alliance and has been seeking too many benefits for his tribe, so several of us don't like him. And you also have some entanglements with him, right? I heard that the birthday gift that Kozmo, that dog-headed brat, prepared for Da Vinci was stolen by the dragon who is friendly with you. Then you and that dragon entered the ruins to explore, and soon after you came out, you were promoted to demigod. It is rumored in the wilderness that you obtained the inheritance of an ancient god in the ruins, which is why you successfully advanced."

"Although Da Vinci is noncommittal on the surface, with my understanding of this old thing, he must have hated you to the core in his heart, after all, he has been cultivating his younger generation all these years, hoping to produce another demigod figure, then his Pale Night tribe will be the well-deserved strongest in the wilderness."

"And your compatriot hates you even more, I heard that when you were promoted to demigod, he suddenly disappeared from the inner city of Mansa for a period of time. Although there were no subsequent actions, my clan's intelligence said that he went all the way north, but later retreated for some reason."

"As for why he suddenly became hostile to you, I think I don't need to explain the specific reasons, you should be clear yourself."

"As for Yalen, the ogre demigod, in addition to disliking Da Vinci's actions and fighting against this old dog with us, he usually buries himself in studying combat skills and specializations. He is a complete martial arts fanatic."

"My personality is not very good, and my methods are sometimes very cruel, but this is Mansa Wilderness after all, and what is believed in is the law of the jungle. If your methods are not strong enough, others will think you are easy to bully and will try every means to cut a piece of meat from you!!"

"What shrine?? What balance of nature?? A group of parasites on us native wilderness people, asking us to use the lives of our own people to maintain their ideals and pursuits, why!!"

"The humans want to annex our land, the elves covet our forests and mountains, what are their shrines doing? They are just watching from the sidelines, watching the humans and elves become stronger step by step, while dividing and disintegrating our wilderness tribes step by step, fearing that we will unite and grow stronger and then turn against them!!"

"Even if you blame the elves for your assassination, I don't believe it, because I know that the real enemy who assassinated you must be a member of the natural god system, because they are afraid of your ability and afraid that your continued growth will threaten their rule over the wilderness!!"

No one is a fool, especially existences like Allen and Bricken who have reached their status. The storms and rains they have experienced over the years have made them as cunning as old foxes. Although Allen, as the victim, blamed the elves, and the elves did have a criminal record and intentions, when the news reached Bricken and the others, they would never completely believe it.

Which force would launch consecutive assassination attempts on the same demigod powerhouse in just a few years? Unless they never thought of taking the hobgoblin's life at all, otherwise, ordinary people would not carry out such a plan with extremely low feasibility.

Of course, there is also a very small chance that the elven planners want to use reverse thinking to give the hobgoblin a surprise. However, the few years that seem very long to ordinary people are not even equal to the time required for a practice for powerhouses above the legendary level. At this time, their vigilance is absolutely impossible to relax.

Not to mention that after the assassination incident, the wilderness tribes and shrines have become more vigilant about the adventurers and caravans coming and going. It is not an easy task for such a large-scale powerhouse team to search for intelligence and set traps in the wilderness without leaving a trace.

Unless, there are other forces in it to cover them up; or, it is simply a local wilderness force that attacked Allen the hobgoblin, so that there would be no trace.

And who can use such energy and belong to the wilderness forces, besides the church??

In the alliance's inheritance of tens of thousands of years, the wilderness powerhouses assassinated by the church in collusion are countless. Not to mention demigods like this, even Saint-level existences have had precedents. And the ogre demigod Blackguard, who used to work with Bricken and the others more than two hundred years ago and fought openly and secretly with each other, his voice and appearance have not been forgotten!!

"Lord Bricken, aren't you thinking too much?"

Allen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but his expression remained calm, and he replied indifferently.

"Whether I'm thinking too much, time will prove it. No matter which shrine did it, they will mobilize the powerhouses of their affiliated tribes, and someone will always reveal a flaw by then."

"The most important thing is that I heard that several churches have been acting frequently recently. The time node is exactly when you were assassinated and returned to Mansa City seriously injured. Do you think I'm thinking too much??"

Bricken looked at Allen meaningfully and gently stroked the rough stubble between his jaws.

That's all for today, I originally wanted to reach 4000 words, but I'm feeling a little down.
