The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 307: Raising the price while sitting on the ground (please vote!!)
  There are far more demons in the Nagan Hills than what was described in the mission. Perhaps it is because of the discovery of the Korrik kobold tribe, or perhaps because of the hilly environment. The demon team escaping in the wilderness, I don’t know. Through some way of contact, they gathered in the Nagan Hills.

In addition to the group of more than 50 demons that Allen and the others encountered and killed before, there are more than 20 demons stationed at the other two main cave entrances of the Collik tribe. Among them, there are mid-level demons. heads.

If it weren't for the narrow and easy-to-defend dangerous pass at the passage of the Korrik tribe, which would have prevented the demons from deploying their powerful troops, their tribe would only have over 20 middle-level warriors, and less than a hundred elite warriors above level 7. How can they stop this group of ferocious and powerful demon army with their strength?

Even with the help of dangerous passes, the losses of the Korrik tribe over the past few days have still been considerable. A total of five mid-level kobold warriors have been killed by demons. A devil who is cruel and crazy by nature, neither the lives of others nor his own life are that important. Although they still retain the instinct of biological survival, when the battle really gets fierce, they will often ignore their own safety and frantically kill the opponents in front of them.

This is a race born to kill.

"The number of this group of demons is increasing every day. Just yesterday, a powerful Berserker Demon appeared in the main exit area to the southwest of us. At that time, it suddenly appeared and attacked our passage entrance, directly attacking Passed through the first pass at our exit and killed Lord Vargas and 20 elite members of the clan who were stationed at that pass."

"Later, if our leader Wu Tikuer hadn't come back in time and stopped the other party, our entire tribe would have been strangled by the devil yesterday."

The kobold warrior Sende who followed Shusheng and the others was actually the envoy sent by Wutikul to act as a guide and supervisor for Allen and the others. When describing the dangerous situation at that time, a dog's face could not help but appear. It was a bit scary, as if he was there at that time.

Thanks to the frightened and uneasy dog-headed man, he provided a lot of information to Allen, giving him a deeper understanding of the mission.

"This mad war demon is definitely a powerful high-level professional. Our leader fought for his life and used several powerful scrolls at the same time to finally force this demon out of the cave."

"Then, last night, our leader used black powder to blow up the main cave, and then gathered all the remaining warriors to defend the entrance to the west passage."

"This was originally our retreat, but we didn't expect to be found by this group of demons today. They seemed to be afraid that we would run away, and when they noticed that we didn't relax our vigilance and deployed manpower here, they simply prepared to seal it off. Block this passage and block our family in the mountains."

"The bastards raised by these lizard people!!"

When explaining to Allen the problems currently encountered by the Korrik tribe, Sende completely forgot about the importance of intelligence, because in his opinion, the arrival of this support force will most likely affect the future of the tribe. choices and future.

The opponent was able to easily kill an army of nearly ten mid-level demons. At least their strength had proven that they were qualified to attack the demon team that originally blocked the cave. But now the situation is different. With the emergence of a powerful Berserker Demon, it is almost impossible for this group of adventurers alone to help the tribe stop the demon army from conquering the village.

Lord Wutikul is the only high-level mad fighter in the clan. He was seriously injured in yesterday's fight. Although he also used several 5-6 level spell scrolls to leave some injuries on the mad warrior demon. , but with the devil's powerful recovery ability, it will take no more than 3 days at most for the opponent to recover as before.

At that time, if the opponent launches an attack on the main entrance to the village again, and wants to repel the opponent like yesterday, the price will be even greater. The high-end scrolls collected by the leader are worth a lot of money. There are not many in the first place. How can they withstand it? For long-term combat use.

So at this moment, just before Allen brought Kerr and the others to support and get in touch with the Korlik tribe, Wutikul was convening the elites of the tribe to discuss the next retreat.

"Take me to your leader."

Allen killed a Bagula Demon by himself. While wiping the greasy breath from his mouth, he was distracted by feeling the power of the abyss contained in the Bakura Demon's barbecue, destroying his body. There is also a physical body that can independently launch a counterattack against the power of the abyss.

When he heard that there were a lot more demons in the army, Allen didn't feel anything. However, after hearing that a mad war demon queen appeared in this team, Allen's expression suddenly became a little brighter. .

He received a lot of tasks in Mansha City. In the temple, he took over the tasks for high-level demons such as the Berserker Demon, Snake Demon, and Succubus one by one according to their species. The mission loophole he thought he had found made him secretly happy when he heard that a Berserker Demon appeared here. Wasn't this a big gift for him?

Of course, Allen is excited at this time, but there are still some things that need to be discussed first, such as the reward of this mission. As the difficulty of the mission increases, then Wutikul and the others want to let Ai with only 5 rubies. It is obviously impossible for Lun to take action.

Allen suddenly spoke, causing Sende, who was having a lively chat with Kerr, to glance at him, then put his eyes back again, looking at Kerr in confusion.

Shouldn't the leader of this team be the female hobgoblin in front of us?
  Obviously, Sende, a kobold, has really poor vision. Not only did he recognize Kerr as a hobgoblin, but he also regarded Allen, the strongest bugbear in the team, as just an ordinary warrior.

After all, after Allen restrained his aura, his slender figure, which was comparable to the slender figure of an elf, was really too confusing. If it weren't for the thick hair growing on some exposed parts of his body and a big bear nose, I'm afraid some people would believe that he was an elf just by looking at Allen's back.

Such a weak-looking Bugbear, how strong can he be under his command?
  I couldn't blame Sende, a blind doghead. After Allen spoke, he could only cast questioning eyes on Kerr and listen to her instructions.

"Take us to your leader."

Kerr couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, then she suppressed it and said to Sende in a deep voice.

"Okay, but with so many of you going in, I'm afraid..."

Sender looked at Kerr and the others in embarrassment, and at the same time his eyes were alert. As the tribe was in danger now, he had to be careful.

"You want to keep our people out?"

When Kerr glared, she couldn't possibly leave the team members outside and become the target of the devil.

Since Teacher Allen wants to see the dog-headed leader, it means that the teacher will not stay outside the cave. In this case, even if Kerr stays outside the cave, it may not be safe. In order to burn the remains of the demon, the thick smoke that rose up might have told the group of demons in the hills that something had happened here. If another group of demons came to kill them, especially if the mad fighting demon among them came, without their teacher, Kerr and the others would not be confident that they could completely stop them.

"Kole, take the team to the entrance of the cave. You wait here while I go in and talk to their leader."

Allen was also the leader, so he naturally knew what Sender's concerns were, so he came up with a compromise solution. With Kerr in the team, and the cave being an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, even if the demon were to be killed, Kerr and the others would not be in much danger in the short term.

If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for them to retreat to the cave.

"Okay, teacher."

Kerr suddenly called out "teacher", which shocked Sender. Then with a frightened and uneasy expression, she bowed her head and apologized to Allen: "I'm sorry, sir, look at my stupid brain!"

Although Allen's true strength is not clear, the fact that he can become the teacher of the captain of this powerful adventure team naturally shows that he is superior.

Allen actually didn't care about the other party's clumsiness. He waved casually and said coldly: "Okay, I will go with you to see your leader."

"Ok."

After everything was settled, Sende took Allen and headed deeper into the cave, while Kerr and the others set up a formation at the entrance of the cave, ready for battle.

The cave is very long, and along the way Allen and Sende also climbed over two steep and narrow passes. At the passes, there were more than a dozen dog-headed warriors who were fully armed and ready. Although there are not many of them, with the same quality and strength of warriors, Allen believes that even if there are dozens or hundreds of demons, they may not be able to break through the defensive positions of these ten kobolds.

The further they walked in, the more spacious the cave became. As Allen and the others turned an intersection again, what struck Allen's eyes was a land that was several miles wide, with dozens of fireflies inlaid a few meters above his head. Stones, a faint light shines on the building complex of hundreds of continuous houses of the Korlik tribe.

Traces of artificial excavation can be seen everywhere. Even on the stone ceiling several meters high, there are traces of irregular torn and broken stones.

I'm afraid it would have taken this group of kobolds decades of work to realize the artificially carved hall in front of them.

"Nice to meet you, distinguished guest."

A sturdy kobold wearing bright silver armor, with a one-handed double-edged ax stuck in each waist, and the smell of herbs coming from everywhere on his body, walked up to Allen, his eyes were sharp and friendly, and he raised his hand Hitting his heart with his right fist, he saluted and greeted Allen.

"I am Wutikul, the leader of the Korrik tribe."

After completing the courtesy, Wutikul stretched his hand forward and opened his palm as if to give Allen a high-five.

Allen was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses. He vaguely remembered that this seemed to be an employer's test of the adventurer's strength.

After thinking of this, Allen's movements were not slow. He raised his thick palms and hit the opponent. Then a huge force came from his palms to pull Allen towards Wutikul. .

With a smile on his face, Allen gently pulled his hand back, using only 50% of his strength, causing Wutikul to be pulled over involuntarily, and his figure became swaying. But just when Wutikul was about to lose his balance, Allen suddenly stopped exerting force, loosened his fingers that were tightly clenched with each other, and nodded to Wutikul calmly.

Baby, what's wrong with me? Compete with me for strength. Don't you deserve to be tortured?
  Although Wutikul almost lost his composure, he was not surprised but overjoyed. The strength of his opponent was beyond his expectation, and it was far higher than the requirements of his own task. Although he didn't know why he took this task. , but at least the arrival of this powerful helping hand made the embarrassing situation of his tribe suddenly feel like a turnaround.

The simple test made the kobold Wutikul respect Allen even more deeply. The wilderness races have always respected the strong, especially when they need help from the strong like now.

"Dear guest, I don't know your name yet."

Wutikul's eyes were burning, and there was even a slight fawning look on his expression, and he welcomed Allen to a stone fortress in the cave that was higher than other houses and buildings.

The fortress is filled with various smells, the smell of food and meat being the most important. A fist-sized fluorite above the head brings a faint white light to the spacious room. "My name is Alan Witt, a member of the Green Lake Adventure Group. My members and I took over the task you announced in the Government Affairs Hall."

Allen answered Wutikul's question calmly, and at the same time did not conceal his purpose of coming: "This time I am looking for leader Wutikul. I think the reward you gave in the previous mission is far from enough to match what we need to face. enemy."

"Ah? This is my oversight, sorry!"

Hearing Allen put forward the conditions so simply, without any intention of backing down because of the strength of the demon army, Wutikul was overjoyed. He didn't know how to raise the price so that Allen could help get out of the hole. The demonic army outside.

"Tell me, what kind of reward do you need to help us fight against the demon army outside the cave?"

Wu Tikuer thought about it for a long time and didn't know how much the price should be raised to satisfy Allen, so he simply threw the question back to Allen.

"Your clansman Sende said before that a high-level mad war demon appeared in the demon army outside. According to Mansha City's mission standards, the reward for killing a high-level demon is more than 700 gold coins. In addition, now in The demon army outside your cave exceeds a hundred people. As the difficulty of the mission increases, you need to pay my adventure group at least 15 rubies or more to be considered a suitable price."

Before the Rebellion of the Evil God, the price of a high-level professional mission was only about 500 gold coins. For example, when Allen missed the high-level fallen knight Kled's head, he only received 500 gold coins in the end. However, as the Mansha Wilderness was destroyed by demons and suffered heavy losses, the reward for high-level combat tasks has increased to 700 gold coins; even the Temple of Nature can only increase its contribution because it cannot provide enough money as reward. The reward will be calculated based on the value of the inheritance crystal exchange. In fact, the temple mission will be more cost-effective.

Of course, this is also a matter of opinion. After all, the temple masters the method of making inheritance crystals, just to better control believers and knowledge. They have never made extravagance of inheritance crystals, but consciously control the number of crystals.

It's just that the impact of the Evil God's Rebellion this time was too great. At the same time, there was an ally of the Kingdom of Spring in the south, the Centaur Kingdom, which needed support from the temple. The Pope, chief priest and other presiding officers of the Natural Temple camp had to let go of the production of inheritance crystals. .

Secretly, the gods behind other civilizations have expressed their dissatisfaction with the nature gods. Every time the believers of the nature gods create more crystals, it means that they are infringing on the interests of other gods. In the long run, the balance that has existed for many years will be broken. , causing other pantheons to issue stern warnings.

"what??"

Although Wu Tikuer was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the quotation given by Allen at this time, and his eyes were full of resistance.

"Alan Warrior, although the enemies our tribe faces now are stronger than what I described in the mission, you can't increase the reward so much all at once, can you?"

"We are not a big tribe, how can we have so much funds and treasures!"

Wutikul made a poor look and said with a pleading expression.

"Haha, Leader Wutikul is probably joking. Look at the silver wine glasses on your table and the exquisite silk and satin on your bed..."

"These don't look like a poor tribe!"

Allen's eyes were a little more playful, and he pointed at the decoration of Wutikul's fortress in front of him, which immediately made Wutikul's face feel awkward.

It is said that kobolds have the blood of dragons in their blood, so they are also full of desire for shiny things, and they also like to decorate their lairs and dens with shiny items such as gold and silver products, jewelry, etc. At this time, Wu Tikuer's room looked like this. Compared with the decoration of Allen's stone castle in Green Lake Village, the decoration in this fortress that was not so conspicuous in appearance was definitely luxurious.

"This, this...actually, they are not valuable things."

Wu Tikuer couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face, but he really found it difficult to accept the price proposed by Allen, so he could only tell lies with an old face and open eyes.

"I think this price is very reasonable, you can do the math yourself."

Allen was completely unmoved and continued to calculate the bills in his heart with a stone heart: "If you give up the tribal stronghold and mine in front of you, how much will you lose? Moreover, you can guarantee that the demons behind you will not catch up with you. Will I kill you all?"

"..."

Wu Tikuer originally wanted to continue bargaining with Allen, but in the end, before he could say anything, he compromised under Allen's threat.

"I don't like to waste time. If Chief Wutikul feels that the price is not right, then I will take my people and leave now."

Allen felt that the price he gave was already very reasonable, so he never thought about making concessions from the beginning. Of course, this was because he had judged the current situation of the Colric tribe and felt that the other party would definitely agree to him. It could be regarded as Allen's act of taking advantage of the situation.

"...Okay, just 15 rough rubies!!"

Wutikul gritted his teeth and stared at Allen, as if he wanted to swallow Allen alive.

"By the way, the rough gem must be above the standard weight and cannot be shoddy!"

Allen did not forget to remind him that after dealing with the outside world for many years, Allen and his tribe have suffered a lot and learned a lot.

"The members of my adventure group are responsible for assisting you in holding back the demon's army. You and your warriors have to be the main ones to deal with the demon outside. I am responsible for killing the mad war demon that threatens you. "

"...This doesn't work. You have received so much reward, so naturally you should take on heavier tasks!"

Hearing this, Wu Tikuer's face became unhappy again, and his tone also increased a bit.

"When we took over your mission..."

Allen continued to negotiate with Wutikul. After all, it was related to the safety of Kerr and the other teenagers. Although the purpose of taking them out on a trip was to sharpen them, of course Allen would like to see it if the risks could be reduced.

After another argument, the two leaders finally made arrangements for each other's team members, as well as the tasks they would undertake.

"Okay, now that everything is clear, I'll go back and call my team members over."

After more than half a magic hour of negotiation, Allen was still calm. After getting up, he said goodbye to Wutikul and went to greet Kerr and the others. There were many things that needed to be communicated to them in advance.

"it is good."

Wutikul nodded expressionlessly and watched Allen leave along the original passage under the leadership of Sender. Then he ordered the dog-headed warriors around him to summon the dog-headed warriors in the cave who could still fight.

After a while, more than 80 warriors from the tribe who were still able to fight gathered outside Wutikul's fortress.

Because the settlement is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Korlik tribe has been targeted by the demon army during these times, there are actually not many warriors attrition, especially low-level warriors. On the contrary, it was the middle-level warriors in the clan who lost 5-6 because they were required to guard each pass, which made Wutikul very heartbroken when he thought about it.

"This time our tribe has reinforcements. Whether we can defend our village depends on the next battle."

Wutikul's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and told the tribesmen around him about the issues that needed to be dealt with in the upcoming counterattack.

"But all of you, please be smart. What you need to do is to contain the demon army at the west exit. I don't need you to show unnecessary bravery."

"If the situation is not right, everyone should retreat into the cave!!"

"When the time comes, remember to obey my orders!!"

The demon is so cruel that it is not easy for the Korlik tribe to retain the current warriors, so Wutikul does not hope that everyone will suffer too much loss in this counterattack.

Regardless of the fact that he had reached an agreement with Allen before and agreed that Allen would let the clansmen take on the main attack task, there was still a lot of room for maneuver between the words and deeds. Wutikul had no intention of actually following Allen's adventure group and engaging in a life-and-death battle with the demon blocking the tribe's west exit. He just wanted to see Allen's powerful high-level combat profession. Whether the decapitation operation can be completed, he will then decide the next step of the warriors in the clan based on the situation.

If Allen can complete the killing of the mad war demon within a certain period of time and cause a commotion in the demon army, then Wutikul will lead the warriors of the tribe to launch a ferocious counterattack against the turbulent demon army and take advantage of it. Kill the enemy who has harmed the tribe for a long time.

But if Allen still fails to take down the Berserker Demon after the Korrik warriors pay a certain price, then Wutikul will immediately lead his tribe back into the cave, and then block the entrance of the cave, leaving Ai Lun and his goblin adventure group were fighting each other with the demons, and he and his tribe could reap the benefits, or he could take this opportunity to evacuate through another passage with his tribe.

The reward for 15 rough rubies is what Wu Tikuer felt when he thought about it at this time. How could he be willing to just take it out and give it to Allen!
  If there was a way to help the tribe get out of trouble and save a few jewels at the same time, that would be a great thing.

As for the life and death of Allen's group of goblins, that is not an issue that Wutikul needs to care about.
