The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 520 Preparation
  "Hello, Elder Eric."

Trick stood up from his desk and politely greeted the human elder Eric who walked into his office room.

"Ah."

Eric's face was expressionless, and he stretched his hand forward, and a piece of light yellow paper was delivered directly to Trick.

"This is the list of our Tanding Club participating in the competition this time. There are 37 people in total."

"Okay, do you need the town to prepare any equipment or props for them?"

Trick took the document with a smile. There were many names written densely on it. Most of them were the younger generation of humans and half-elves in the town. Trick was no stranger to them.

"Thank you, no need."

Although he is an elder of the Green Field Tribe, Eric has never thought of taking advantage of Allen and his tribe. The members of the tribe will pay the corresponding price for their daily adventures and lives. Even in Green Lake Town and Rapids Bay, the Tanding Guild has farmland and forests rented by their union, and has dedicated members to grow food and potion plants.

Eric knew very well that if the guild he established with his companions accepted the benefits of the Green Field Tribe, it would slowly form a habit in the future and eventually be assimilated by the Green Field Tribe. If they want to maintain their current independent status, they must be self-reliant and must not accept the benefits sent by the Green Field Tribe.

Of course, in some matters, the Tanting Association must also be integrated. For example, the Green Lake Competition allows members of the union to gain experience and know their own strengths and weaknesses; such as participating in urban duty and public security management. It can show the fairness and honesty of the union, and at the same time make the goblins in the green field accept their existence...

Although there is no god behind the Tandin Society, their persistence and hands-on actions have infected the surrounding goblins and wilderness natives, and the number of fellow travelers in their union has been steadily growing. Unlike the heterogeneous group of believers in other churches, most of the fellow travelers who truly accept the ideas of the Tandin Order are very strong-willed, and there is very little hypocrisy once they join the Tandin Order.

After sending the list to Trick, Eric left directly and continued his latent cultivation and thinking.

Over the years, the philosophy of the Tandin Society has become more and more mature. This is all thanks to the continuous thinking of Eric, Phillips and other companions, who have enriched their cornerstone bit by bit and formulated reasonable doctrines and rules. Instead of improving his own strength, Eric focused more on evangelism and union planning. He even spent more time cultivating the backbone and teaching at Tanding College than he spent on practicing his legendary expertise. More.

Tanding Academy is an independent college with the best scholars and best warriors in the Tanding Society as teachers. The techniques, tactics and knowledge all come from the Tanding Society. The college accepts all wilderness natives. Originally, according to Eric and the others, even the tuition fee was not too expensive. However, after Trik went to discuss with Eric all night on behalf of the Green Field Tribe, the tuition fee was paid to the Allen warriors. The college is on par with several other colleges.

The college does not enroll many students, with only about 30 students in a class. So far, it has enrolled a total of more than 200 students. Compared with the other four Allen colleges that have Allen's golden name as their backer, the number of students at Tanding College is still inferior, and many of them are abandoned students who have not been admitted to Allen College.

However, with the emergence of the first class of graduates and the exposure of the legendary and powerful identity of the dean of Tanding College, Eric, the number of students at Tanding College has also improved greatly in the past two years.

Anyway, the ultimate purpose of teaching by Eric and others is more to bring along the private goods of their Tanding Society and pass the flame of the guild's concept of self-reliance to the vast wilderness natives. Therefore, for the students who come to study, their Tanding Academy It's a package deal, accepting all comers. Although there may not be many talented natives, the reputation of their union is getting better and better.

That is to say, Allen's green tribe can tolerate the existence of such aliens. Tandin will preach that all gods are hypocritical and treat believers as lambs and cows. The wall of the unbelievers has been destroyed. The shackles on the heads of intelligent creatures can be unlocked and other slogans. No other tribe in the wilderness would dare to accommodate them.

The missionary work in Green Lake Town and Namur Fortress was actually not a smooth road. Although Allen secretly supported the Tanding Society, on the surface Allen still maintained a fair attitude and dealt with the Tanding Society, the Oak Church, and the Natural Friction and disputes among church and other clergy over preaching.

One can imagine the hardships involved in competing with someone who has a powerful god as his backer and a strength that far exceeds that of the Tandin Society.

Watching Elder Eric's back disappear from the door, Trick slowly withdrew his admiring gaze. Over the years, Trick has also learned a lot from the legendary leader Eric. Because of Allen's request to pay attention to the news of the Tandin Society, Trick also has a deep understanding of the ideas promoted by the Tandin Society, especially his awe of their courage to be equal to the gods and their awe-inspiring attitude. , at least Trick still couldn't have the idea of ​​​​confronting the gods.

The scale of the Green Lake Competition has expanded again. Not only are the same tribes in Namur Fortress participating, but students from several Allen colleges can also participate. Even vassal tribes like the Ivan tribe can now have the opportunity. participate.

This was Trick's idea, and he also got Allen's approval. The Green Field Plain is too vast and too barren for today's Green Field Tribe. In the past ten years, the tribe has opened up the trade route from Namur Fortress to Green Lake Town, which has led to the tribe's development of the depths of the Cator Mountains and brought harvests far beyond those of the Green Field Plain.

In the Green Field Plain where water resources are scarce, there are not many places where people can actually settle down. Although the power of the Green Field Tribe has radiated over the entire surrounding plain in name, except for a few strongholds, other places have always been deserted. , let it grow naturally.

The reality of the wilderness is that when no one settles on a piece of land no matter how barren it is, and the surrounding resources can barely support a small tribe or settlement, it won’t be long before there will always be wandering and wandering people who don’t know where to come from. Migratory settlements and ethnic groups quietly survive here.

At the beginning, for these sporadic natives who appeared around the plains again, the Green Field Tribe would send an army to annihilate them directly. Their members would be captured as slaves and sent to the quarries of the Mansha Mountains in the west or the trade road construction teams in the east. , as free labor.

However, as the tribe annexed the Ajnaga tribe, the population increased dramatically, and the tribe's arable land was obviously insufficient, so they needed to purchase large quantities of food through the fortress exchange. Although the increase in population has brought about an improvement in the strength of the tribe, if there are not enough jobs and income channels, these tribesmen may also become a force that destroys the tribe from within.

Therefore, in order to provide more tribe members with income opportunities and create jobs, the tribe can only reduce the number of slaves, and the clearing of the plains has gradually become less and less in recent years.

What followed was a gradual increase in the number of small tribes and settlements on the plains, and they were about to return to their former glory.

At this time, in order to demonstrate the dominance of the Green Field Tribe over the Green Field Plain, the tribe naturally began to select suitable targets from these small and medium-sized tribes to serve as their spokespersons and vassals in the Plains to maintain order and stability in the Plains.

The existence of vassal tribes seems to dilute the interests of the Green Field Tribe in the Green Field Plain. However, in fact, because of the existence of these vassals, the tribe has stronger control over the entire Green Field Plain, harvesting wilderness native products and other benefits. Not only did it not decrease, it actually increased steadily. "... This time, the cultivation method of trifoliate chrysanthemum can be used as a reward to be awarded to the vassal tribes that participated in this competition and achieved good rankings. The tribe's demand for trifoliate chrysanthemum has increased in recent years, which just allows these tribes to provide us with Use more chrysanthemums to make potions that enhance your physical fitness..."

Putting down the list of the Tandin Society, he stacked it with the list next to it. The top one was the list of registrations from more than a dozen vassal tribes. When he saw this list, Trick couldn't help but think of one thing. He muttered to himself.

“I don’t know when the clan leader will come over and decide on the rewards!!”

Because this time the competition is larger in scale, and there is a new small team competition, the incentives from the previous tribal competitions must not be copied. In addition, the clan leader attaches great importance to this competition, and Trick is planning to ask Allen for instructions on the rewards of this competition when he comes to Green Lake Town to watch the competition.

For this competition, Green Lake Town also built dozens of temporary competition venues in the desert area to the south of several colleges. At the same time, the tribe also gave several stronghold members an early vacation. Except for the necessary employees on duty, other members either returned to the town as contestants or came back as spectators to enjoy life.

"...Mayor!!"

"The venue is not enough. I guess we need to add some stalls!!"

A dwarf walked in hurriedly, reporting loudly to Trick as he walked.

"...Didn't I reserve a piece of land for you? It's all used up??..."

Trick's face darkened. There were too many trivial things that needed to be managed by him, and his rare free time had come to an end.

Looking down at Green Lake Town from the sky, the area of ​​the town has expanded by a large circle, swallowing up a large hole in the desert area to the south of Green Lake Town. The most lively and prosperous thing is the residential and economic circle formed around the five colleges. Several wide streets intersect horizontally and vertically, surrounding the colleges in the middle.

To the east of the town, a gray-white business road extends straight to the northeast, passing directly through the dark elf town of Gravel Beach, and then goes all the way east. The flow of people coming and going is not sparse, perhaps because of the competition held in Green Lake Town. The Green Field tribe and the surrounding wilderness natives who want to see the excitement gather in small groups.

In addition to these natives who at most carry small luggage, there will also be camel carts on the trade road from time to time, loaded with unknown goods, dragged by heavy camel beasts, slowly driving towards the east and west of the trade road. Two end points.

Allen and Figueras put on their clothes at this time and walked on this commercial road that was bustling for the first time. Sometimes there were cliffs on both sides of the commercial road, sometimes there were basins, and from time to time they would see a In this settlement built along the trade routes, the clever natives occupied the most conspicuous position, lying lazily in front of the simple huts, surrounded by various plants and the shriveled remains of animals.

“I didn’t expect that you would be willing to spend such a large amount of money to build such a trade road!!”

Figueras was always so bohemian. A thin red gown opened his chest, revealing the green skin of the hobgoblin. Occasionally, when an indigenous female passed by, he would wink at her with provocative eyes. He is not afraid that his accompanying companion will come and cause trouble for him.

Although his actions were frivolous, Figueras did not forget to observe the surrounding scenes and changes. When there was no one around the two of them, he spoke to Allen with a tone of admiration.

This business road, which stretches more than a thousand miles from east to west, took tens of thousands of people from the Green Field Tribe for ten years. The resources and funds invested amounted to almost a million gold coins. In the eyes of any other tribe, it was a loss. Selling and selling are something few leaders can do.

But the bugbear in front of him not only made this decision, but also accomplished it. How could he not make Figueras admire him?

Moreover, Figueras also knew that the other party had set up a quarry in the Western Mansha Mountains. The purpose was to carve a gap in the Western Mansha Mountains so that the abundant water vapor from the endless sea could be irrigated to the green plains along this gap. , changing the climate environment of the plains.

When anyone hears this for the first time, they will probably think that the guy who made this decision must have something wrong with his mind. But it happened that this bugbear and the greenskins under his command were doing something like a fantasy, and they persisted for decades.

Not long after hearing this, Figueras quietly sneaked to the quarry in the Western Mansa Mountains to check it out, and was shocked by the sight of a gap that had been chewed out for dozens of miles long and wide.

At that time, there were not many members working in the quarry. This was related to the fact that the Luye tribe was developing the Luna trade route, and more manpower was invested in the construction of the trade road. But the scene of hundreds of people with bare arms swinging heavy war hammers to smash the stone walls of the thousands of meters high mountain ahead, watching the perseverance and persistence of small individuals facing the ancient majestic mountains, I don’t know why Figueres suddenly felt moved Rise from the bottom of your heart.

It was also because of Allen's various decisions and persistence that Figueras felt that he was trustworthy and had a bond that he could not let go of, so he finally decided to send an invitation to Allen to explore the Crescent Lake ruins.

"Why not?"

Allen looked up and said matter-of-factly.

"After this trade road was built, do you know how many more tourists and merchants came and went in Green Lake Town? Because the benefits brought by these merchants may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, the benefits brought by these merchants are inconspicuous, but in fact, the little they add up to provides a joint system , but it has given Green Lake Town countless more industries and businesses.”

"There is also the Cator Mountains. Because of this adjacent trade road, almost all of it has been developed for dozens of miles. The amount of potion plants and various mineral resources produced this year alone has made those There are tens of thousands more gold coins in the tax bill from Muir Fortress!”

"The business path that brings so many benefits, I have no reason not to practice it!!"
