The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 393 Traveling in the Village

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I heard that you really stole the show this time when you went south!"

When Clay faced Allen, his face was filled with happiness for him, and at the same time he was a little envious.

"In a duel, kill a legend. It seems that you have been promoted to legend for only a few years!"

Although he was envious, Clay didn't show much of the alienation that would appear in the eyes of others due to the gap in strength between them.

First of all, it is naturally Clay's position in the Oak Church that allows him to often come into contact with legendary figures, so he is naturally less awe-inspiring. At the same time, Clay's elf origin, his own talents and his young age make him optimistic about his promotion to legend. He is full of confidence, so he doesn't feel that he is really weaker than Allen. He just thinks that Allen is lucky and was promoted a few years earlier than him.

Secondly, in order to win over Allen, Clay, who is now staying in Green Lake Village, cannot appear too distant when facing Allen. Instead, he must rely on his past close relationship to continue to play the emotional card with Allen, so that he can be more affectionate. It is easy to maintain a relationship with Ellen.

"It was just a fluke, and I really almost lost my life at that time."

Allen shook his head humbly, with a bit of lingering fear on his face. If he didn't have to, why would he be willing to take risks and risk his life to fight.

The church was built on the edge of the Green Lake, and several large flower gardens and groves were built around it. Allen really felt that it was a waste of resources. If these places were opened up into fertile fields, they could harvest at least thousands of dollars every season. Pounds of grain!
  However, when Oscar and Allen discussed building a church, they set aside this land as the address of their church. Now that Allen has agreed, he naturally can't say much now.

The deserted church is occasionally visited by a few dwarf believers. Although everyone in the Greenfield tribe has basically joined the Oak Church, it is just to discover unique talents in the tribe through divine magic. They truly believe in the Father of Oak. There are really not many believers in the Green Field Tribe.

As for Allen himself, he is not so much a believer of the Oak Church as an ally of the church. Until now, although he has benefited from many churches and agrees with some of the ideas of the Oak Father, that is all. At most, he is an ally of the church. An ordinary believer.

Therefore, there are few believers in the Oak Church in the village now, which is what Allen expected. Everyone has just had a full meal, so how can they have so much energy to pursue the natural way!

However, the Green Field Tribe, on the other hand, has begun to gain a lot of advantages after the church established a church in the village. In the village, 7-8 children with spell caster talents were discovered one after another. Now they were all sent to the church by Shi Sheng to become apprentices. They began to learn the art of meditation and laid the foundation for choosing the spell caster profession in the future.

After experiencing real battlefield fighting, Allen will understand how much a powerful team of spellcasters can improve a legion's square formation. On the battlefield, although the mage group is powerful and the spells they cast are astonishingly powerful, their impact on the battle situation is actually not as good as a team of spellcasters with various means such as blessing, recovery, and spell countermeasures.

The caster system of druids, priests, and priests has exactly this effect. It can increase the lethality of an army by at least 50%, while also reducing the losses of soldiers in the army.

In a team of adventurers, mages may be more popular because their various magical spells can often make adventures easier and the risks lower. However, beings like druids and priests can help in dangerous situations. They always protect the lives of their companions and improve their strength. How can we say that they are not as good as mages?
  Allen may be used to being thrifty, or he may value the tribesmen too seriously. In his eyes, the outstanding warriors he has finally cultivated are not just cold numbers. If possible, Allen still hopes that the warriors in his clan will have more hope of survival, instead of dying on the battlefield of adventure and fighting.

Therefore, before leaving, Allen told Shi Sheng to send the children in the village with spell casting talents to the church to be apprentices, and then select suitable spell casters based on the future development prospects of these little guys.

Of course, the previous tribes had no other choice. After all, there was only one trickster in the village's caster heritage, and that profession was the most talent-intensive.

Now, after Allen's adventure, he finally obtained a mage inheritance. He had already planned to see if he could select the most talented one among the children in the village and create a mage inheritance. Way to go.

After all, in the early days, there was no mage guidance, and it was really difficult to rely on the children of the clan to learn the inheritance knowledge by themselves. It was not easier than Allen's exploration of the Berserker inheritance path alone.

In addition to identifying the talents of children in the clan and conquering captives, the Oak Church will also send people to take the initiative to teach children knowledge in the school, reducing Philip's burden. Although Allen knew that when the other party taught children, there would inevitably be a lot of personal information mixed in, but it was undeniable that even the people who came from the Oak Church had a much richer knowledge system than the old guy Phillip.

Furthermore, the mid-to-high-level druids among the church members can already effectively control the growth of plants, which means that they can help the village improve better food crops and find more suitable ways to grow magic potions...

"How are you doing? Are you getting used to living in the village?"

Allen's tribe has gained a lot of benefits, so Allen has to care about others.

"Fortunately, I actually quite like the environment here."

Clay smiled slightly and showed a satisfied look. Although life in Thornburg may be more prosperous and there are more things to enjoy, Green Lake Village, in addition to being a little more miserable, can allow people like them to get closer to nature and understand it. Isn’t it a kind of experience?

"By the way, how did you bring those humans back, and how are you going to place them next?"

On the rare occasion when Allen came back, Clay casually asked a question that he regarded as a troublesome question.

Eric and his group of humans did not live in the village, but temporarily set up a small settlement in the open space to the southwest outside the village.

Eric and the others experienced the betrayal of the Goddess of Spring. After their faith collapsed, they would instinctively show disgust when they saw any member of the clergy, even if they knew clearly that the group of clergy members in front of them themselves were the biggest victims of the betrayal of the Goddess of Spring. .

Clay and others are also somewhat disgusted with Eric and his group. Of course, Eric and his group were originally members of the Holy See of Spring. At the same time, there is also the slogan that Eric and his group are promoting now: There has never been a true god in the world, and everyone in the world should strive for self-improvement.

In particular, Eric and his team openly declared that the shackles imposed by the gods on the intelligent species in the depths of the River Styx - the wall of unbelief - had collapsed, and all intelligent creatures in Feynman's world could no longer endure the exploitation of the gods. Be their lamb and sacrifice.

All kinds of shameless and arrogant remarks made Clay and the other clergymen with firm beliefs feel particularly dazzling and angry as if they were facing a group of followers of an evil god.

Although, as the church host and a member of the Oak Church who had access to the core information, Clay knew very well that some of what Eric said was indeed true.

Eric and the others should be thankful that the belief concepts of the Oak Church will never easily start disputes. In their eyes, the balance of all things is the ultimate truth. As long as Eric and the others do not violate natural ethics, destroy the environment and other bad behaviors, even if they are extremely angry with Eric and the others, they can still treat them peacefully, at most they can treat them as if they no longer exist.

"They are also a bunch of pitiful guys. I'm afraid there is no other place that would tolerate their existence except here."

Allen's eyes showed sympathy. After all, the Green Field Tribe was just like Eric and his team now. They had no idea what tomorrow would be like.

"Anyway, their population is not large, and their ideas are not in line with popular beliefs. If they don't make any noise, you can just treat them as if they don't exist." "Of course, if you can win them over to the Oak Church, how about that?" Isn’t it better?”

"Humph, you have to figure it out yourself!!"

Clay gave Allen a roll of his eyes, turned around and walked towards the church, ignoring this guy.

Looking at Clay's leaving figure, Allen's eyes gradually became darker.

Allen's decision to win over Eric and his group was after some consideration. After all, after understanding the other person's experience and changed mentality, Allen felt that he might be able to use Eric and his group to preach the Oak Church in the village. For one thing, make certain restrictions.

Even though Allen has a good relationship with the Oak Church now, Allen knows very well that compared to the behemoth Oak Church, his own strength is really weak and vulnerable. The so-called legend, in the face of such a huge organization that has accumulated tens of thousands of years, may not be more powerful than an ordinary wilderness native.

Especially after experiencing the previous attack on the demigod Black Guard, Allen deeply felt that his previous idea was correct. As a top being like a demigod, the natural divine forces would kill them as soon as they asked, without any hesitation. , and looking at their methods, there is no trace of embarrassment at all.

Knowing the disparity in strength between the two sides, Allen would not really allow the people of the Oak Church to freely spread their doctrines in the village and win over the ethnic group that he had finally grown up with great difficulty. However, Allen's actions cannot be too big, otherwise he will really anger the Oak Church, and the other party will use some small tricks at will, which will be enough to embarrass him.

Eric and his team are not large in scale, but their strength is not bad. After all, the people who can be preserved as seeds by the Holy See of Spring have absolutely no problem with their potential at least. With them promoting the so-called atheistic theory, it affects the pursuit of faith among the tribesmen. The most pessimistic judgment can at least delay the penetration of the Oak Church into the tribe, while the optimistic judgment can make the group people's understanding of the so-called god race. It's actually good to plant the seeds of doubt and maintain the current situation.

At least, Allen has never believed in the idea that gods protect believers and believers will live forever in the Kingdom of God after death. He only believes that the strength in his own hands is the greatest guarantee for survival. As for choosing faith in the first place, the biggest reason was simply to value divine power as physical strength, so that I could have a more accurate judgment. Of course, in the legend, souls without faith will be suppressed on the wall of unbelievers forever, suffering torture and suffering. Allen can only say that he half-believes it.

In fact, the value of Eric and his team goes beyond this. After they split with other colleagues who had different ideas, they took away part of the complete inheritance system and knowledge system. If it can be used by the Green Field Tribe, it can also reduce the tribe's dependence on the Oak Church. dependence.

Such arrangements were all made by Allen in advance in order to ensure his rule over the tribe and increase the weight in his hands. Naturally, it was difficult to explain in detail to people like Clay who he was wary of.

No matter how good your partner is, no matter how trustworthy your ally, you may betray yourself at some point for an important reason. Allen would never betray an ally, but he would never open his heart and completely trust an ally or partner again. Although the lessons learned from the Kaiya incident were a bit biased, they were a very important one in his heart at this time. heavy faith.

The development of the Green Field Tribe has now entered a fast lane. In the few years since Allen left the village, the tribe's population has nearly doubled. Adding in the more than 600 captives he brought back before, the total population now exceeds . scale. Moreover, in the original trade with Aligon, Allen's condition was that he only needed bugbear and hobgoblin blood slaves, so the base ratio of the three bloodlines of tribal goblins was finally no longer as abnormal as before.

The bloodline branch ratio of about 4:3:3 is considered a very balanced structure in Allen's opinion. As the bugbear bloodline with the strongest physical fitness and the highest combat effectiveness, although it is at a relative disadvantage in terms of quantity, its overall strength is enough to ensure dominance in the clan. The total number of hobgoblins and dwarfs still accounts for the majority, but due to each other's shortcomings and their atmosphere of disunity, they can no longer pose a great threat to the rule of the bugbears.

Moreover, Allen also prefers this kind of atmosphere where the three branches of blood compete with each other for power and wisdom and strength. As long as the situation is controlled within his own limits, the tribe can develop faster and be more energetic.

Perhaps because he saw the potential of the Green Tribe, Oscar always cared about and promoted Allen, and Clay intentionally or unintentionally brought them closer, which not only made Allen feel grateful, but also added a lot of pressure.

It didn't take Allen much time to visit the church area named Oak Leaf. As he slowly walked to the human settlement area in the southwest of the village, what he saw was a group of hard-working humans, doing their own thing.

In the area allocated to humans, in addition to densely populated stone houses built as residential areas, the surrounding land has been opened up by humans and divided into small vegetable gardens growing various crops.

The human children were not ostracized by the village and went directly to the village school to learn various knowledge and skills.

There are early human beings such as Philip, farmer Jem, and Boris. Through their diligent nature and gentle personality, they have already integrated into the village, so that the people in the village will not be too repulsive and discriminatory against this small group of human beings.

As for Eric and the other later humans, they were able to catch a ride. Apart from secretly observing the newcomers out of curiosity at first, the goblins in the village quickly resumed their lives. Too much trouble for humans.

Of course, this is also thanks to Allen's long-term teaching and domestication of the tribesmen. Various strict rules and regulations have been promulgated, coupled with the supervision and punishment system. No matter how ignorant the guy is, he will know more or less after decades. Follow the rules and never do anything hurtful again.

Moreover, as more and more land is opened up in the village, survival is gradually no longer the pursuit of the villagers. How to make their lives more comfortable and how to work less has become something that everyone is thinking about. Although the arrival of humans will take away part of everyone's food rations, they will also alleviate the tedious work of the tribe. When it is mutually beneficial, naturally everyone will not treat humans too harshly.

Not to mention that the leader of this group has several middle- and high-level combatants with good skills. Kerr, the current strongest person in the village, has to spend a lot of effort to defeat the opponent.

Adult human beings now have their own jobs. Before Allen came back, the tasks assigned to them by Shi Sheng were similar to those of ordinary tribesmen, so they were not short of food and drink.

However, after Allen came back, he thought about reforming the village system to make the people in the village more energetic and passionate about struggle.

As life got better, the people in the village gradually developed many problems. After Allen returned to the village for a while, he found that many people in the tribe no longer worked as diligently as before, and more of them seemed lazy and stealing. Bad habits such as cheating and cheating began to spread again.

In the final analysis, this is related to the fact that the land developed in the village belongs to the entire tribe. No matter how much work everyone does, they can still make ends meet at the end of the day. If this is the case, why do they still work so hard?

Although Allen has been enriching everyone's private property through remuneration, rewards, etc., such effects can no longer satisfy the selfish desires and pursuits of the tribe. Therefore, Allen plans to follow the practices of human society from now on and distribute land. To the clansmen in the village.

In addition to retaining a certain proportion of the common land, most of the remaining land in the tribe is given to the tribesmen in the village for lease, and the price is to pay 2-3% of the output every season, or simply a fixed weight of grain.

The tribe no longer provides rations to the tribe. If you want to have enough to eat, you need to farm your own land or participate in work that can feed your family. Hunting is no longer arranged by the tribe. Instead, the tribe raises livestock on a large scale in Mumapo to provide meat. The security team will become a professional military presence and do not need to participate in daily work. The food harvested from renting land is one of their sources of salary.

All kinds of ideas in Allen's mind did not arise overnight. Over the years, he has traveled far and wide and experienced many systems. The system he wants to implement now is one that he has been thinking about for many years and thinks is most suitable for the Green Field Tribe. Some current reforms.

What Allen has to do next is to implement these things that he has been planning for a long time in the village one by one, and then slowly correct certain shortcomings in practice.

Compared with before, Allen now has more time. After being promoted to the primary level of legend, Allen still has at least two hundred years to live, which is enough for him to slowly follow his own direction and grow the tribe step by step. If he is more lucky and can improve his strength to the legendary mid-level, Allen will have at least 100 more years of life and will have more time.
