The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 502 Infighting
  Exhaling weakly, Allen's face was covered with fine beads of sweat. The pain in his body gradually disappeared, and his strong mental strength seemed to have improved a bit after this experience.

The meditation method learned from the mage's inheritance crystal, coupled with the assistance of the Embrace of Pain potion, has indeed allowed Allen to make great progress in controlling the iron will. It's just that as the body's tolerance for pain increases and it becomes resistant to the medicine, the effect of the Pain Embrace medicine is gradually unable to meet Allen's needs.

However, except for the pain potion, Allen has not found any other potion that can bring pain and other sensations without damaging the body. Therefore, besides increasing the dosage of the medicine, Allen has nothing to do for the time being.

Everything in Namur Fortress is developing in the normal direction, and Facardo is now gradually becoming familiar with the power of being in charge of such a large city. In addition, a large number of people in the city moved to Green Lake Town and built roads to the west, which also reduced the pressure on Fakado. Therefore, Allen was in the fortress most of the time, just like the Dinghai Shenzhen, and did not need to pay too much attention to the city. development of.

"Clan leader, the fight is starting in the north!!"

The arena in the fortress has now become a place where Allen retreats for a long time. Except for the occasional Kerr and a group of high-level goblin warriors who come regularly to ask for advice and study, few goblins dare to disturb Allen's practice at other times.

But today, Facardo rushed into the arena with a slightly excited look and reported an important news to Allen.

The so-called north is not the drow who have temporarily ceased war with the wilderness natives but are always on guard, but the Snowy and Crow Claws who have just lived a stable life for a few years and obtained the Nasir Fortress from Allen. Two tribes.

It was not unexpected for Allen and Facardo that a struggle would arise between two tribes that jointly managed the same city. However, what Facardo and the others did not expect was that the other party's struggle would intensify so quickly. It had been less than five years since the Greenfield Tribe handed over the Nasir Fortress to the trolls and gnolls.

Allen was not surprised at all when he heard Facardo's report, because he had sown the seeds of division between the trolls and the gnolls from the beginning.

When he had discussed the profit distribution with the Snowmi and Crow Claw tribes for several days, Allen had already concluded that the two tribes in front of him would not live in peace for a long time in the future. The struggle for interests is never easy to give up, especially between powerful tribes with hundreds of thousands of tribesmen under their command.

Regardless of whether Allen is involved in the distribution of interests, there will be a struggle between Snowmi and Crow Claw in the competition for interests in Nasir Fortress. However, it was only because of Allen's intervention that the struggle for interests between them did not reveal too many differences at first, and the superficial peace was maintained.

But this superficial state of peace is only temporary. Due to the certain difference in the revenue share between trolls and jackals, coupled with the constant turmoil and turmoil at the bottom in recent years, resentment and hatred continue to accumulate between the two races. .

As long as a certain fuse that detonates the middle-level and above the two races is ignited, then the two races will inevitably have a large-scale struggle.

The trigger for the conflict between the two clans this time was actually an idea inspired by Allen's advice to them.

The grain, oil, and salt monopoly business was originally a plan proposed by Allen, and he planned to cooperate with Ariel and Maggot Eyes to develop business practices. However, due to concerns about Allen's methods, and Yarel and the others were reluctant to share this profitable business with Allen, the final result was that their two leaders quietly implemented it in the Nasir Fortress, excluding the original proposer Allen. .

No matter how Ariel defended himself, he never thought that in the end they would be tricked by Allen.

From the very beginning, when Allen put forward the proposal to jointly build a chamber of commerce, he was indeed keeping a certain amount of thought in mind, just as Ariel and the others feared. Allen knows very well that in the face of interests, tacit allies are not trustworthy. When Snowmi and Crow's Claw have become unbalanced in the distribution of interests in Nasir Fortress, as long as there are more other disputes of interests, the trolls and Conflicts among jackals will inevitably be intensified, leading to struggles involving middle and high-level people.

Regarding the tax revenue from the two fortresses in Cator Canyon, the Green Field Tribe itself under Allen's jurisdiction has actually given up part of its interests. This is a fact that the other two leaders know, so they will not because of the Green Field Tribe. The interests of the tribe are too great to complain about. However, the division of interests between the two clans may seem to have a small difference in proportion, but in fact, if converted into money and resources, the difference is more than 3 gold coins.

The jackals of Crow's Claw are very dissatisfied because they think that their clan is stronger and everyone has contributed more before, so why do they get so much less benefit than the trolls? The trolls are also not happy because they feel that My tribe originally had a certain share of the fortress's revenue, and now it should have received more, but it was taken advantage of by the big-headed and brainless jackals.

In addition, the constant fights and disputes at the bottom of the two tribes have already given the middle-level management leaders an unbearable headache. They want to help their own tribes seek some justice, but they have to swallow their anger due to the leader's orders.

After the leaders of the two tribes, under Allen's reminder, began to monopolize the right to sell grain, oil, salt and other livelihood supplies in the Nasir Fortress, at first such transactions not only brought good profits to the two tribes, but also brought Lots of job opportunities. In the past, these businesses were controlled by several major families of the two tribes, and only members of these families could operate them; but now that the businesses have been taken back by the two leaders and transferred to the grassroots level, these businesses have naturally been transferred to the grassroots. Their livelihood spread to every street.

The extravagant business seems to have diluted the interests, but in fact it is just transferring the monopoly of a few big families to the hands of more middle and low-level leaders, while the families of the two patriarchs control the interests of the upstream channels and gain As the number of beneficiaries increases and the prices of daily necessities decrease, it will naturally be supported by the tribesmen.

It's a pity that for such a good thing, other problems gradually appeared as time went by. The small shops set up in the respective living areas of the two tribes gradually became redundant. In order to benefit the small and medium-sized head families of the two tribes who had the management rights, they naturally reached out to each other's territory.

Substituting inferior products, lowering prices...all kinds of means to seize the market were used by this group of operators, and what followed was one after another of contradictions and conflicts. Compared with the previous conflicts at the bottom, this time the conflicts caused by business practices are the backbone of the trolls and jackals. They have greater influence in the tribe, and the damage caused by the conflict will naturally be more serious. .

When the grudges gradually deepened and another insignificant problem appeared, the middle-level leaders of the two clans waved flags and shouted, leading their soldiers to rush towards the opponent who had been patient for a long time, and then there was a bloody battle. of fighting.

Ariel and Maggot Eyes are not the only two legends in Nasir Fortress. Cole, another legendary priest from the Crow Claw tribe, has always been at odds with Maggot Eyes because of his belief in the Gnoll King of the Abyss, so he has been left out in the cold. , prohibited from participating in the actual affairs of the tribe.

Now that he had caught up with the tribe's resentment towards the leader Maggot Eyes, Cole thought he had found an opportunity. When the fighting started, he not only did not stop it, but instead took the lead and flew into the air, applying various magical spells to the people of his tribe. Adding fuel to a controllable situation.

By the time Ariel, Maggot Eyes and another jackal Bobbier Legend arrived, the situation was already irreversible, because dozens of trolls and jackal corpses were already lying on the ground, including the likes of... There are many corpses of trolls.

In the end, although the two leaders, Ariel and Maggot Eyes, suppressed the angry warriors of the two tribes with strong tactics, the two tribes, which had already developed huge rifts, may no longer be able to coexist peacefully in the future.

The inside story of the ‘fight’ that Facardo said was a chaotic battle involving the intervention of legends and resulting in casualties.     …”

Allen's mind fell into Chen Si. This was the result of his guidance. Now when it actually appeared, he was already planning the next step.

"I understand, go down and do what you are doing now."

"clear."

The alliance between Snowmi and the Crow Claws must be broken, at least not as tacitly as before. Although the Green Field Tribe now has a legend named Kerr, Snowmi and Crow Claw have a total of 5 legendary strongmen, and the total population of the two tribes is still twice that of the Green Field Tribe. For both sides with a canyon that is tens of miles long, the threat Allen needs to face is huge.

Allen never thinks that contracts are reliable unless the strengths of both parties are equal. In the face of interests, the wilderness natives may tear up this non-punitive parchment at any time.

"call!!"

After Facardo left, Allen also stood up from the ground, stretched out the stiffness caused by sitting for a long time, and a calm mental aura slowly escaped from him.

After more than a year of seclusion and self-torture, Allen's mental strength has made great progress, and the mastery of Iron Will has entered the stage of success. It's time to go out and let outsiders know about his existence.

Soaring from the sky above the arena, Allen's figure quickly disappeared among the long mountain lines of the Cator Mountains.

"Chief Allen, are you here to see the joke between our two clans?"

When Allen came to Nasir Fortress, he felt that the atmosphere in the city had become subtle. Not only did the two tribes in the city hardly talk to each other and glared at each other, but the other three legends of the two tribes also rarely appeared in the city. The two groups jointly control it and serve as the main castle for everyone's daily work.

The legendary primary bloodthirsty Tim is a burly troll warrior with an eyepatch on his left eye and a bare right shoulder. A broad heavy ax never leaves his body behind him, and he stands quietly in Ariel. behind. Ever since the Third Elder Talibo rebelled against the tribe, the Snowmi tribe had been plunged into the abyss from its once prosperous scene. It was not until Tim, the troll, was promoted to legend again that the Snowmi tribe gained some confidence. .

Opposite Ariel, behind the leader of the jackals, Maggot Eyes, stood two jackals on the left and right. One of them, an old jackal, was wearing blood-red mail armor with several skulls of strong natives attached to his waist and chest. The polished ferocious bone talisman, leaning on a crutch, glanced at the troll in front of him with sinister eyes. Another jackal leader, Bobby, had two scimitars hanging on both sides of his waist in tight-fitting mail. His hands were gently resting on the handles of the swords, and he was concentrating with his eyes closed.

"You two are too worried. I said I was just passing by. Do you believe me?"

Allen raised his hands in a friendly gesture and smiled.

Unexpectedly, I arrived by chance and happened to encounter a high-level negotiation between the two clans regarding the previous tragedy. Because of Allen's arrival, the leaders of the two clans didn't look very well, and they all thought that he came here with ulterior motives.

"...No matter what your purpose is, I hope that Chief Allen will not interfere in today's matter."

Ariel looked at Allen indifferently and warned him. On this matter, Maggot Eyes and the two companions behind him agreed with Ariel.

"I respect the tribes of the two leaders, and will not participate in negotiations with your two tribes, but I feel it is necessary for me to express some of my opinions to you two before that."

Allen slowly faded the smile on his face, becoming more solemn.

"I admit that I came here specially after knowing what happened to the two tribes. Because, I think that our three tribes are now in the same boat. If there is unrest between your two tribes, you will give me a green thumb. It also has a great impact on the wild tribes.”

"Don't forget, you two, your biggest enemies have never been each other, but the drow from the north who have occupied your territory!!"

"They would rather see your two tribes turn against each other, so that they don't have to worry about you still having the fighting spirit to take back your territory. And because of the turmoil between your two tribes, it is very likely that the drow will see the disharmony in our northern territory, and thus If they send troops south again, then the fortress where our three tribes are now will be the biggest obstacle in front of them!!"

Alan's statement surprised Ariel and Maggot Eyes. They thought that Alan was here to cause trouble, but they did not expect that the other party was here to be a peacemaker.

For Allen, the so-called ally, Ariel is in awe of the other party's methods, and Maggot Eyes is wary of the other party's strength, but at the same time, they also covet the huge wealth that the Green Field Tribe has just annexed Ajnaga, as well as the Namur Fortress. interests and territory.

If there hadn't been this irreconcilable conflict between the two tribes, Ariel and Maggot Eyes might have secretly begun to figure out how to plot and kill Allen and his tribe.
