The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 511 Dilemma
  Nasir Fortress has gradually returned to calm, but there is still some friction in the lives of the two tribes at the bottom, but it is much better than when it was the most tense before.

Because of the assassination of Allen, the alliance between the two races that was on the verge of being broken was forcibly reunited. Maggot Eye's shaky mentality, fearing the counterattack from the Green Field Tribe, had to be tied to Ariel, and the cornerstone of the alliance between the two parties became more solid.

It is true that Allen, the bugbear, is too powerful, and Maggot Eyes also has enough knowledge of his own wisdom. Even if he has woken up, Ariel is scheming against himself by recruiting him to jointly assassinate Allen this time. However, after some weighing, Maggot Eyes could only swallow this bitter pill. Quan pretended not to know about it so that he could get along with Ariel normally.

After the upper levels reached a unified attitude, the feedback to the lower levels was that the small and medium-sized leaders of the two tribes could only increase the restraints on the tribesmen and minimize friction. Although the leaders of the two clans are very aware that this has a great impact on their prestige, there must be some among the leaders of the small and medium-level who are dissatisfied with this, and the bottom is just a powder keg.

Fortunately, due to the soft submission of the two tribes and the establishment of a chamber of commerce with the goblins, the conflict of interests among their middle-level leaders has been eased. After the goblins joined the Chamber of Commerce, they first standardized the terms of the Chamber of Commerce, stipulated the business areas of each other's tribesmen, and made corresponding penalty clauses.

With the provisions that can be followed and a group of illegal leaders and grassroots sellers being dealt with impartially, the atmosphere of the chamber of commerce suddenly showed signs of improvement, and the grassroots sales network gradually became stable.

The advantage of the goblins is that they do not have their own sellers in Nasir Fortress, so they have no conflicts of interest with other parties. This allows them to deal with the problem relatively more fairly, and the result is often easier to understand. accept.

However, recently, some of the practices of the goblins have really made people a little envious. No, I should say jealous!

"There is no way to go on like this!!"

Maggot stared at the rolling mountains to the south with jealous eyes, as if he could see the Namur Fortress across the distance of dozens of miles, which was far away from the Nasir Fortress.

"Otherwise, our two tribes should also learn from the greenskins and set up some sort of centralized trading market!!"

Recently, fewer and fewer caravans have been staying and resting at Nasir Fortress. Even if there are occasional caravans that rest again, they often only stay for a short time and then wait until early the next morning to set off on their way.

Even the merchants selling goods in the Nasir Fortress and the number of adventurers resting in the fortress are much fewer. This may not seem to have much to do with the Nasir Fortress, but in fact it has a vital impact on the commercial trade in the fortress.

For example, the female Gnoll family that Maggot Eyes newly adopted as a partner, relied on Maggot Eyes' support to open a gambling house in Nasir Fortress, and made a lot of money in the past few years. After all, everyone needs to have some fun and relax during a long adventure; and adventurers who are constantly licking blood cannot keep money, and timely enjoyment is their motto.

But recently, the Jackals have discovered that there are far fewer adventurers and merchants coming to the casino to have fun, and sometimes they can't even find guests who can make up a table. This is very surprising.

Not only the jackals, but also the entertainment venues run by the trolls also had such problems. In fact, the number of caravans coming and going has remained at a stable level, without much fluctuation. However, these guests sometimes would rather work a little longer, or even walk through the canyon at night, rather than stay too long in the Nasir Fortress. .

You must know that although the terrain in the canyon is not complicated and there is no danger, it will take a large caravan at least half a day to cover a distance of tens of miles.

The final destination of these merchants and adventurers was, without exception, the equally majestic fortress city south of the mouth of the canyon.

"Do you know how to do this? Can you compete with those smart greenskins in the south?"

Ariel raised the right corner of his mouth and asked a question.

At this time, Ariel was very worried. To be honest, several families he supported also suffered great losses due to the actions of the goblins in the south. However, until now, Ariel has not thought of a way to prevent these changes from happening.

Learn the actions of the goblins and set up a centralized trading market? Building a high-end entertainment center?

Perhaps, this kind of action can retain some guests, but in fact, the vast majority of guests will still be attracted by the goblins. And if you learn from goblins, then the market and various entertainment projects will be taken over by the public, and they will no longer be controlled by a few families, otherwise it will be difficult to be accepted by other tribes.

To put it bluntly, the set of things created by the goblins is nothing more than a monopoly operation like grain, oil and salt. But unlike the trolls and jackals, the benefits gained by the goblins of the Green Field Tribe from their monopoly are Basically, it is owned by the tribe, and then returned to the tribesmen through benefits, increased job opportunities, etc.

Such an approach requires a powerful and unselfish tribal leader to make it work; and behind the two leaders like Maggot Eyes and Ariel, they each have a huge family. If they engage in monopoly, The final benefit will not be for the tribe's bottom members, but will benefit their respective families.

If these gains are taken into public ownership, then the families of the two leaders will definitely suffer the most heavy losses. The two leaders will inevitably receive countless complaints. Don't even think about having a good life. Of course, they will not harm them. Family interests.

However, maintaining the current situation, although the major families of the tribe have basically eaten up most of the interests of these industries, the small part of the interests that have been revealed can still allow many small and medium-sized head families in the tribe to have a relatively stable life. .

The continuation of a tribe has to consider the situation of the tribesmen at the bottom. If the exploitation is too severe and makes it impossible for the tribesmen to survive, then they will inevitably flee and rebel. The final result will be the decline of the tribe.

"But at least we have to do something, right?"

Maggot Eyes was very anxious. He saw carriages coming and going in the canyon. There were merchants on their way, as well as carriages built by goblins to carry people back and forth. The carriages often wanted to go to Namur Fortress for recreation and entertainment. Adventurers and dudes and stuff like that.

These people could have rested in the city of Nasir Fortress, and then spent their time, letting the gnolls and trolls peel off shining gold and silver coins from their bodies. In the end, part of the wealth would always be gathered into Maggot Eyes and his. In the hands of the family.

But now, they can only watch the fat sheep leaving one after another, but they can't do anything. “Let’s talk, go find Alan!!”

Ariel stood up and left indifferently, leaving only Maggot Eyes in a daze.

On the south wall of Namur Fortress, Facardo was walking on the wide military road with a few guards, overlooking the lively city from top to bottom. For more than a year, Facardo has been in a good mood, because in the previous competition with Trick, he temporarily won a small victory.

Nearly a year has passed since the Green Field Tribe’s Green Lake Town competition, and the final result was naturally that the more than 100 goblin teams sent by Namur Fortress won the vast majority of the top ten places for junior, high, and third-level warriors and spell casters, and even took all the positions. The top three spell casters in the junior and senior levels.

This was because the talent selected for the Namur competition was too hasty at that time. If there was enough time for them to prepare the list for the competition, Ariel even felt that he could take all the places.

It can be said that the tribesmen in Green Lake Town are the ones that Allen has put the most effort into, but due to incomplete inheritance and lack of foundation, most of the tribesmen's foundation is indeed not as good as that of the goblins from Ajinaga.

Having gained the advantage of skewing the resource allocation in the past two years, it coincided with Facardo’s plans to show off its distribution market and entertainment city area. Therefore, the construction and transformation of these two urban areas progressed very quickly, in less than half a year. In a short period of time, it has completed development from scratch.

No expense was spared in the decoration of the entertainment area. All the decorations and configurations are the best that Wilderness can do, luxurious and high-end.

The brothel gathers females and even handsome males from countless races in the outer wilderness of the two continents. After all, some guys are always pursuing novelty, or simply have mental problems, so they have to meet all the needs of guests when they treat them.

Just like Fakado knew that a male human merchant had feelings for that extremely plump female, and would definitely find a female ogre to spend the night every time he came to Namur Fortress. Fakado couldn't even imagine how that thin human body would handle an ogre that was almost twice as tall as him and more than ten times heavier! !

Gambling rooms are divided into two levels. The high-end area has certain requirements for gambling funds. Each table is limited to a certain number of people and has professional servants to follow, so you can enjoy personal service at any time; the low-end area meets the needs of the public, and the chips are free. A gaming table can accommodate dozens of people, the games are easy to understand, and winning or losing is quick...

As for the restaurant, it is open day and night. Food will be delivered to your door if someone needs it. All kinds of dishes and snacks are made by the most skilled chefs from Green Lake Town...

Surrounding these major industries, there are also countless rare and exotic animals, luxury goods, and exquisite and strong slaves from the two continents for sale. Anyway, as long as the guests need it, you can basically find it here.

The independently opened trading market outside the South City Gate is 1/4 the size of Namur Fortress in terms of area alone. The high city walls stand flush with the fortress walls. As long as the goods are sent in, there will be no Exclusive sigils, no one can take them out privately.

There is a large group of goblin warriors on duty at any time above the urn city. Not even a mouse can sneak into the important warehouse area of ​​the city at night, which is enough to ensure the safety of the goods of various caravans. More importantly, the warehousing rent here is very cheap. Combined with the cheap accommodation and cheap grain and grass supplies at the Shangtongpu Inn, it can save a lot of money for the traveling caravans.

Although, given the size of these caravans, this savings is actually just a drop in the bucket, but coupled with the fast customs clearance procedures in the fortress, it is enough to make these caravans feel the comfortable feeling brought by the service.

You must know that each caravan will pass through dozens of tribal cities along the way. Most of the wilderness indigenous members they face will find faults and look for all kinds of troubles for the caravans. At this time, if anyone encounters the service attitude of the Green Field Tribe, providing all kinds of conveniences to the caravan passengers and providing homely services, they will naturally feel good after comparing the two.

The exchange is also open for 12 magic hours every day, which makes it easier for merchants to find buyers and sellers, and uses the credit of the Green Field Tribe to guarantee the two companies, so that they don't have to worry about someone cheating or buying and selling by force.

In just over half a year, the income of the two urban areas of Namur Fortress has grown rapidly, and soon they have become two hens laying golden eggs. How can Fakado not be excited! !
  The prosperous scene in front of you was all created at home. Look at the singer's house and brothel with dazzling fish oil lamps before it gets dark before the city. Listen to the melodious music of the piano. , singing, what a peaceful and luxurious scene!
  The establishment of the two urban areas not only brought considerable profits to the fortress, but also created thousands of job opportunities for the tribesmen, as well as supporting industrial chains that can affect tens of thousands of people, which is the biggest for the tribes. Harvest.

"City Lord, I heard that the two leaders from the north have brought people over and are talking to the clan leader!"

A dwarf gnome ran over with short legs, and the sound of the city lord's cry made Fakado elated.

After completing this plan, at least in Facardo's view, his position as city lord should be considered stable. As for the two leaders mentioned by the dwarfs, Facardo didn't care too much. As early as the beginning of the plan, Allen asked him to go ahead and do it without worrying about other things.

Everyone knows that what they do will obviously harm the interests of others. In the end, the other party will definitely not sit back and watch, and it is normal for them to come looking for them.

"Come on, come on, you two, please sit down."

For more than a year, Allen sat in the fortress honestly and did not go anywhere. The most he could do was to take a trip to the Cator Mountains.

Firstly, it was naturally the hidden wounds left by the assassination, which could not be completely healed. From this, we can see Allen's dangerous situation at that time; secondly, Allen also wanted to see whether Facardo was actually hosting. qualified.

However, from this observation, it seems that Facardo's ability has been affirmed. It is not easy to turn their own plans into reality in such a short period of time and quickly develop into the scale they are today. things.

Although the arrival of the two leaders from the north was expected by Allen and the others, Allen did not expect that they would arrive so quickly.

The two leaders sat next to Allen with embarrassed expressions, and Ariel said directly: "Chief Allen..."
