The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1018 316 Horse Holy Land
  Allen politely declined others' attempts to stay, and the last person quickly headed north, initially heading towards Mansha City, but after reaching the border of the grassland, he suddenly turned left and headed for Woma Ridge, the holy land of the Centaur Holy See deep in the grassland.

Externally, Allen said he was going to Mansha City, but in fact his real destination was to go to Woma Ridge to visit the Pope and his entourage from the Centaur Holy See.

His reason is simple. With his current extremely weak strength, there is no guarantee that he will not be plotted even if he arrives in Mansha City. He does not have much confidence in the personality of Allen, the group of powerful people in the Natural Church camp. On the contrary, the Centaur Holy See, which unexpectedly showed kindness to him at a cooking competition and expressed congratulations and friendship to him on behalf of the god Qirong whom he had only met once, was a more suitable place for Allen to stay and recuperate.

Moreover, Allen has not come to Woma Ridge in person so far, and has officially visited the Centaur Holy See. Now is the right time to repay the other party's friendship, and perhaps there will be other unexpected gains.

The Centaurs, who live in pursuit of water and grass, have always been fond of nomadic herding. There are few large-scale settled cities on the vast grasslands. All along the way, there are beautiful scenes of lush water and grass, and cattle, sheep, and livestock everywhere. From time to time, Allen could still see thousands of horses galloping, and the scene of a centaur militia chasing and playing behind him always made him yearn for it. If his tribe could have such a fertile and suitable environment and land, I'm afraid they would It can also develop a civilization like humans and orcs.

It's not that Allen looks down on the centaur family's long-standing lifestyle. He just thinks that such lush and fertile land should not just be used for grazing, but should be used to grow more food and magic plants. Only in this way can the land be effectively used and cultivated. More tribesmen came out.

Only when the ethnic group is strong enough and the population is large enough can more outstanding talents be born, better technology developed, and a stronger war heritage accumulated, and finally stand firm in this social jungle.

As a natural cavalry race, centaurs should have had the opportunity to become a civilized force like humans and orcs if their population was large enough and the war machines and resources behind them could keep up with the expansion, but now they can only survive. In the grassland of humans and horses, they compete side by side with the wilderness against human civilization.

Of course, this was just what Allen felt when facing the rolling lush grassland scene around him. How could he not know that there are so many difficulties and obstacles behind wanting to evolve a race into a civilization? It was just a green tribe until Today, an effective and reasonable power inheritance system has not yet been established, let alone the continuation and development of a powerful civilization.

A gradually rising mountain line appeared on the undulating horizon. As the entire outline of the mountain appeared in Allen's eyes, it looked like a handsome Pegasus lying on the ground, but it stretched out a proud head and roared to the sky. At the highest peak above Tianma's head, a magnificent artificial round tower towers straight into the sky. It is at least more than 500 meters tall and should be the tallest artificial building Allen has ever seen.

The closer he got to this mountain, the more Allen couldn't admire the generosity of the Centaur clan. He thought that he led the Green Field clan to spend more than a hundred years digging the Mansha Mountains in the western border, which was considered a great perseverance and decision. Now, Seeing the Centaur clan building such a majestic and tall cylindrical tower building on the top of the mountain, he felt ashamed.

I thought this tower was only five or six hundred meters long, but when I arrived close to the mountains, I realized that my previous estimate was too wrong. This tower was at least more than a thousand meters long, like an arrow shooting toward the sky. . The spire of the cylindrical tower cannot be clearly seen at all, because more than half of the tower is hidden above the clouds. The clouds flashing with thunderous light cannot leave the tower even if a strong wind blows. It is obviously the tower itself. Protective magic.

Before approaching the mountains, several strong figures had already risen in front of Allen. They were wearing uniform armors and holding special lances with hooks. They formed an attacking formation and flew quickly towards Allen. Come.

Allen stood still in the void, put his hands behind his back in a friendly gesture, and waited quietly for the other party's arrival.

"Welcome, distinguished guest from afar."

There was no hostility as expected. When the other party came to Allen, the long lance in his hand was raised high. The leading knight greeted Allen with a smile and saluted, obviously knowing Allen's identity.

"My lord has been waiting for you at the Holy Mountain for a long time, Chief Allen."

"Oh?"

Allen responded with due courtesy and said with a smile: "Thank you all for coming to greet me."

It wasn't surprising when he thought about it carefully. Although he didn't tell Randolph his true destination, after all, he passed through the territory of the Centaur clan, so it was not surprising that the other party knew his whereabouts.

There were eight legendary centaurs who came to greet Allen. Wearing uniform knight armor, they were obviously strong men under the Centaur Holy See. With their professional matching and fighting spirit, even when facing Allen, who vaguely showed the aura of a saint, , did not fall behind, which fully shows that the Centaur Holy See has a profound foundation.

A grand and prosperous city is built on the mountain. The overlapping buildings have domes and spires, which are quite exotic. They are far unlike the centaur settlements Allen passed along the way, which are just made of felt tents. It is so simple as a place to stay and rest.

Because of Allen's arrival, copper bells rang over the city one after another, and then a melodious chant came from the top of the mountain. Under the leadership of four strong centaurs on the left and right, Allen slowly Landing slowly in front of a square halfway up the mountain, there was a hiking trail that led directly to the top of the mountain. On both sides of the trail, there were rows of centaur children dressed in white divine robes. The singing came from their mouths.

"Welcome, the strong man from the north, the leader of the wilderness recognized and appreciated by my Lord."

Allen had no idea that the Centaur Holy See would stage such a big battle. Looking at the entire Mansha Wilderness, only the church leaders from the main camps of the Natural Temple would receive such courtesy.

Especially the Pope of the Centaur Holy See who has lived for 1,733 years. He is dressed in snow-white and spotless. Even his hair and slender beard on his chin are white without a trace of hair. He is holding a secret stick in his hand. The scepter is made of silver as the main material and colorful precious metals as the auxiliary materials. His eyes are as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky, looking at Allen kindly.

“May God’s grace always be with you, Your Majesty Solomon Richards!!”

Allen bent his straight waist solemnly and sincerely to greet the other party. Since the other party valued him so much, he must show his sincerity. The other party's grand welcoming ceremony will definitely spread, so when other forces see this scene, they will inevitably not have doubts, and they will naturally have more scruples when facing Allen. And this is also the deterrent force that Allen needs most now. Unexpectedly, the other party did not need to beg him, so he took the initiative to send it to him, how to prevent Allen's heart from being upset.

But while he was happy, Allen was also vigilant. There was never a free lunch in the wilderness. The Centaur Holy See had been showing favor to itself since the incarnation of the Centaur god Qirong decades ago, and it has not proposed anything until now. If the conditions are too high in return, then maybe they have a bigger plot and pursuit.

"I came in such a hurry that I didn't inform the church. I didn't expect that your Majesty would still have to worry about and go to the trouble of welcoming me. I'm really ashamed."

"Clan Chief Allen challenged two human saints on the front line within a few days, and won each one. One of his opponents was killed and the other injured. Such a brilliant result is probably the first one in the Mansha Wilderness in thousands of years. It is worthy of my church's support. Treat warriors with the highest courtesy!!”

"Only now do I understand why my Lord loves you so much and sends down oracles one after another to let my church make good friends with your tribe."

"Now it seems that the invisible chain of friendship is not enough to carry the relationship between us. Perhaps the next step for both of us can be to develop a covenant."

Centaur Pope Solomon's voice was loud and full of vitality and majesty. What he said in front of so many pairs of eyes and ears must not have been just a whim.

When Allen heard this, he felt slightly in his heart. The divine consciousness and the main consciousness in his mind were intertwined and communicated. In less than a breath of time in the outside world, they made a decision in their hearts: "That is the relationship between me and the Green Field Tribe." Rongxing!!”

It is indeed an honor for the Green Field tribe. Even if the two tribes of Crow's Claw and Snowy, who have become substantial members of the Green Field, are added together, the gap between them and the Centaur Holy See is still very huge. It is just in order to welcome Allen. The number of strong men who appear may be able to destroy the three green tribes, even if there is a saint named Allen among the three tribes.

The strength between the two forces is not of the same magnitude, so there is no possibility of an alliance. Even though the Mansha Alliance has more than a hundred official members, only the kobold saint Leonardo is among them. The Pale Night tribe signed an equality contract with the Oak Holy See hundreds of years ago, and they peacefully communicated and coexisted with each other.

At the time of signing this contract, the power of the camp maintained by Da Vinci through means had been stabilized, and the broad-minded god of the father of the oak tree had not yet fallen. But even so, in addition to Da Vinci's presence in daily actions Only when he appears, the Oak Holy See will maintain enough respect. In the event that he does not appear, the priests and knights under the Oak Holy See will still be superior to others as usual.

"Then it's settled, let's work hard together and move in this direction step by step!!"

Solomon had known that Allen would agree, and the courtesy he gave him had exceeded that of any other tribal force in the wilderness. As long as the bugbear was not stupid, he would definitely not miss this great opportunity. But Solomon was still slightly surprised. He didn't expect the bugbear to respond so quickly and crisply.

Since the incarnation of Qirong told them to make good friends with the Green Field Tribe and Allen, the Centaur Holy See has begun to secretly collect any information related to Allen, and there are also specialized scholars who have deduced his identity through his various deeds. Alan's personality and habits can be seen through almost all of Alan's entire being without his knowledge.

According to the analysis of Allen's character and ability established by the Centaur Holy See, the other party can often maintain extremely strong rationality, caution and restraint when facing huge temptations. However, this time the other party made a decision so quickly and simply, which is already the case with Allen. There are differences in the statues of the Holy See.

"I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!!"

Allen followed the Centaur Pope step by step. He did not feel complacent because of the noble treatment given by the other party, and still maintained a strong self-awareness.

The group of people climbed the mountain step by step purely with their bodies. Although the place where Allen was greeted was already halfway up the mountain, it still took more than two magic hours when they finally arrived at the core center of the Holy See at the top of the mountain - the Centaur Main Temple. On both sides of the road climbing to the top of the mountain were dense rows of centaurs and half-old children. Allen estimated in his mind that the number of people mobilized for this battle alone was almost ten thousand.

There is a vast plain on the top of the mountain. Except for a row of temple buildings, there are no other man-made buildings around the huge mountain top plain.

Looking around, you can see waist-high lush green grass in the distance, with groups of beautiful Pegasus and excellent cattle and horses galloping freely among them; in the distance is a jungle, with majestic gryphons and ferocious flying dragons appearing from time to time. Waiting for the silhouette of a powerful creature to rise and fall in the sky...

The Centaur main temple is also very majestic. The height of the main temple alone is more than two hundred meters. In front of the main temple and in the center of the large square grassland in front of Allen, there stands a statue of Qirong who fought in secular battles in his early years. The heroic figure, pure white marble, dark obsidian, and pure colors outline the statue as if it were a living creature. An invincible aura of chilling and stern look came to his face, and even Allen himself couldn't help but be moved.

But these tall buildings cannot be the center of attention of the mountaintop complex. There is a tall cylindrical tower thousands of meters away from the temple complex, and it is impossible for anyone to ignore its existence. The other buildings of the Centaur Temple can be considered grand and majestic when placed outside, but in front of this cylindrical tower, they are like the difference between a child and an adult.

"I have heard of the reputation of the Experience Tower a long time ago. This is the first time I have witnessed its existence with my own eyes."

Unlike other churches in the Temple of Nature who own a demiplane and hide it tightly, the Centaur Church directly presents the demiplane they own to the public, just to unite the Centaur clan with this magnificent building. people's hearts, allowing them to unite under the Centaur Holy See to thrive and develop.

　I didn’t expect that until now, I haven’t stopped updating this month. Wow.
