The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 636 Passing by
  Allen returned to Green Lake Town with Facardo, not to see him off, but because Allen himself planned to stay in Green Lake permanently.

With Swara, a new legend, sitting in the Namur Fortress, there is no problem in intimidating ordinary people, and the construction and management of the fortress, which is already on track, will not cause any turmoil even though the city owner has been replaced.

After all, Allen gave Facardo a lot of time to make the handover, although the person to be handed over was not the bugbear Tris recommended by Facardo, but the bugbear Oliver transferred from Green Lake Town by Allen.

Regardless of Trick or Facardo, both of them have been in the positions of city lord and mayor for a long time, so much so that almost all the mid-level and high-level leaders in their territory have been promoted by them.

Although Allen was watching over their heads, they did not dare to do anything blatant. Although most of the tribe's positions of authority required assessment and actual merit to be promoted, as long as people were operating these things, power inheritance and the like The pickling problem is inevitable.

What Allen is doing in front of him is just a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, just to slightly slow down the pace of the emergence of powerful families in the tribe.

Compared with the Crow's Claw and Snowmi tribes, which have some big families, the largest family in the Green Field tribe is just Fakado's family. Now it has a population of just over 200, so it can rank high in the power class of the tribe. They can only be counted on one hand. Therefore, it is too early to rectify the problem of the consolidation of family power, and it is not the right time.

During the journey, we encountered two heavy rains in succession. The strong rainwater flowed from the depths of the Cattor Mountains and washed out ravines on the roads built by the tribe, making it extremely difficult for vehicles to pass on this road.

"It seems that a professional road maintenance team must be organized to perform necessary maintenance on the roads built by the tribe."

The three carriages were blocked by a torrent that appeared after heavy rain. Originally there was no water source here. Later, as more and more cumulonimbus clouds blew from the Green Field Plain, they were drenched in the depths of the Cator Mountains. Then a creek formed here.

The merchants and adventurers traveling on the Greena Trade Road originally used local materials here to build a simple wooden bridge, which could barely allow trucks to pass. Now, with the erosion of the torrent after the heavy rain, there is no trace of the wooden bridge across the stream. The three carriages transporting Fakado's belongings can only look at the turbid and roaring torrent in front of them and temporarily stop. pace.

"Then the size of the maintenance team will probably not be small!!"

After hearing what Allen said, Facardo subconsciously began to think about specific plans and said with some hesitation.

"How much labor is required? As long as the foundation is laid well, it shouldn't take much time to maintain."

Allen disagreed. After all, he was not a professional. He only used his own abilities as a reference, so he didn't think it would be too difficult.

"Chief, Trike and I jointly conducted a survey two years ago and roughly calculated the tribe's population, road mileage, etc. The roads our tribe has built now are more than 6,000 miles long. The length!!”

"We calculate a maintenance team based on thirty people and two baggage trucks. The maximum maintenance in a day will not exceed twenty miles. Even if it is open year-round, at least ten teams must be maintained in segmented maintenance to be able to cover Important roads.”

"Based on this calculation, the capital and material costs that the tribe needs to invest will exceed 20,000 gold coins every year, which is a huge financial burden on the tribe!!"

Although he has resigned, Facardo still couldn't help but want to dispel Allen's whim. Given the patriarch's imaginative and lavish habits, if this idea really takes root in his heart, then no matter how high the cost, whether the benefits outweigh the costs, it must be implemented.

As the person in charge who actually coordinates the allocation of tribal resources and labor, every sudden request from Allen is a disaster for them. Not only did they have to disrupt all their previous plans, but they also had to make adjustments as soon as possible so that Allen's orders could be perfectly executed.

However, Allen always takes a long-term view of problems. In many cases, it takes a long time and continuous investment to see results. During this period, some people often have resistance or even resistance because of thankless efforts, no gains, etc. These are all It was very tiring to have Fakado and the others comfort them one by one.

Just like Allen's sudden idea at this moment, among the countless tribes in the wilderness, no one has ever organized people to do these things. Being able to build a road in their own territory is considered a vision of these tribal leaders.

"You can't look at things this way. Organizing a maintenance team can provide hundreds of jobs, which means hundreds of families have..."

Although Allen didn't understand the specific operation and how much it would cost, he thought of the long-term and collateral benefits it would bring.

"I don't recommend it anyway..."

Facardo has resigned anyway and does not need to please Allen, so now he is confident enough to speak his mind directly to Allen.

By the time the goblin warriors accompanying the team cut down a few big trees from the mountain and built a usable pontoon bridge over the washed-out river, Allen and Facardo had already discussed this matter. There was a debate.

When passing by the town of Kolyma on the gravel beach, the dark elves were also carrying out extensive construction work. They were building a tall embankment on the edge of the river outside the town to prevent the growing turbid water stream from eroding the depression where their town was located.

"Chief Allen, do you want to come to our town to visit and give us some guidance??"

The dark elf scouts discovered Allen and his party, and soon the dark elf guard Ted personally came out of the town to greet Allen and the others, greeting him friendly and warmly.

"No, we are just passing by."

Allen smiled warmly and declined politely.

The gravel beach has changed a lot. The dark elves who pursue light seem to have the same hobby as their close relatives in the north, which is to turn gardening into an art. There are blooming flowers everywhere inside and outside the town. Roses, roses and other vine plants, under the care of the dark elves, were woven into animal patterns. From a distance, they looked like an animal covered with flowers.

The dark elves have not spared any place that can be planted or opened a garden. They have planted green and vibrant plants, making their entire town feel like they are in a green forest.

In the center of the town, a huge ancient tree nearly 100 meters high stretches out its branches, covering the entire town under greenery, as if it is protecting the town.

In Allen's memory, it seems that there has never been such a huge ancient tree here. How did the dark elf cultivate such a tall ancient tree in such a short period of time?
  "I can see that your town is developing well!"

Ted and Allen walked side by side. The exchanges between the two families are actually very frequent now. The town of Colima donated many of the precious books they brought out from the underground to the library of Green Lake Town. In return, Several major academies in Green Lake Town are also open to dark elves, allowing them to study in the academies.

The more communication there is, the weaker the hatred between the two tribes will naturally become. The lack of resources that originally restricted the development of the dark elves has now gradually increased with the joint development of the depths of the Cator Mountains and the flow of the Zhuoshui stream. Big, have also been alleviated. Coupled with the commercial trade through Green Lake Town or Namur, the dark elves are basically self-sufficient. “I have to thank you, Chief Allen, for your care, so that we outsiders can integrate into this land and live peacefully.”

Ted was indeed sincerely grateful. He originally thought that Allen placed them on the gravel beach to curb the development of the dark elves. But who would have thought that when the goblins built a green trade road, they took a long detour to connect the gravel beaches, which immediately dispelled most of the dark elves' doubts that the goblins would suppress them.

Later, whether they led the dark elves to join the Ring of Thorns team, or allowed the dark elves to study and work in Green Lake Town, these have proved that the goblins have no intention of suppressing the dark elves.

Although the dark elves separated from the drow also have a suspicious character, at least so far, the dark elves have not found any goblins with bad intentions towards them.

"This requires you to be willing to express goodwill and abide by the rules of our wilderness. Otherwise, our neighbors will not be able to let go of their prejudices against you so easily!!"

Allen said this, but in fact both of them knew very well that among the six major tribes in the north, only Allen's Greenfield tribe had no hatred or resistance towards the dark elves. People are willing to associate with dark elves.

The Green Field Tribe does not seem to be targeting or curbing the development of the Dark Elves. However, because of what their main branch, the Drow, did to the North, the Dark Elves, in addition to operating in the Green Field Tribe's territory, may also travel thousands of miles to Mansha City for adventure. , and they don’t have many places to live safely.

Even in the territory of the Green Field Tribe, due to the frequent activities of adventurers traveling from north to south around the Cator Mountains in recent years, many people with evil intentions have extended their evil hands to the drow, causing many problems. The disappearance of Drow.

For this reason, the dark elves also took the initiative to find the green field tribe. The two tribes jointly established a patrol elite to roam around the Cator Mountains. Whenever a dark elf or green field goblin is found to send a warning signal, they will rush there quickly. rescue.

It was only after Ted sent Allen and the others out of his town that he stopped at Allen's rescue and watched as the backs of Allen and his group slowly disappeared over the horizon.

When he looked back, Ted's face was already solemn, and his eyes were uncertain, reflecting his inner worry.

The news brought by the demigod Kirill of the Ranger Church made Ted feel anxious. The fact that Allen, the bugbear, had broken through the demigod bottleneck and would soon be promoted to demigod was really not a good thing for the dark elves.

The dark elves and goblins seem to be getting along well over the years, but in fact the top leaders of the dark elves have always been deeply wary of their neighbors.

At first, the goblins didn't like the dark elves settling here. For this reason, the leader of the bugbears even turned against the Oak Church. However, after the dark elves actually settled on the gravel beach temporarily, the goblins suddenly changed their attitude, and the friendliness and rationality they displayed were in sharp contrast to their previous behavior.

If the goblin didn't plan something inside, it would obviously be impossible.

Even though the reproduction rate of the dark elves is slow, as they have continued to dig out believers from the Drow Federation over the years and strengthen themselves, together with the migrating vassal slaves underground ratmen, gray dwarves, minotaurs, etc., the number has exceeded 30,000. number.

Such a large tribe, within the strength of the Green Field Tribe, could actually remain calm. In the eyes of Ted and other suspicious dark elves, it was very abnormal.

Ted and the others have always maintained a good relationship with the Oak camp, and the kingdom of the Dark Maiden is gradually getting closer to the kingdoms of the Ranger Goddess and the Sprout Goddess. They are already allies of the same camp, which will somewhat make the Greenfield Tribe turn against them. .

Although it is not advisable to rely on external pressure to make the green goblins give up the idea of ​​​​targeting the dark elves, Ted and the others do not have many means to prevent the green goblins.

Now that the leader of the green bugbears has broken through the demigods, when the opponent becomes more powerful, perhaps the dark elves of Korima will become more dangerous.

…………

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed, and the power struggle between the two fortresses in the Cator Mountains gradually subsided.

Snowmi Chief Ariel has controlled the tribe for many years and has enough reputation and prestige among the trolls at the bottom. Therefore, he won the hearts of the grassroots and quickly supported more than a dozen big and small bosses and their families. And taking advantage of the opportunity of the United Tribunal to expand its power, Ariel stirred up troubles and caused discord in the hearts of several major families.

Elder Tim has also been very tired these years. Although several major families still support him, everyone gradually has their own ideas and are unwilling to be constantly deprived of their power. This makes Tim and the Goodman family behind him Very headache.

If most of the leaders in the middle-level hadn't firmly supported Tim, Ariel might have regained power.

But even so, the current important power in the Snowmi clan has been divided into several parts, and is divided among the three forces in their clan.

Taking advantage of the contract signed with Ariel, the drow began to freely enter and leave the Nasir Fortress. They said they were venturing to the Cator Mountains, but in fact they were slowly integrating into the lives of the three tribes, thus achieving the goal of integrating the tentacles. The purpose of reaching into the fortress.

The scene of the gnoll clan is much better than that of the divided trolls. Although there is also an unstable factor in the clan. Cole, the priest who believes in the evil god Gnoll King, has been causing trouble in the clan. However, the two legends Maggot Eyes and Bobby have been advancing and retreating together, and Cole's various actions have been affected. Keep an eye on him and prevent him from causing any big problems.

At the same time, after the United Tribunal effectively managed and rectified the conflicts between the two clans in Nasir Fortress, the bottom trolls and jackals began to slowly let go of their previous vigilance and had some communication with each other.

The trolls and jackals at the bottom no longer fight and hate each other, and the corresponding business activities have expanded, benefiting the middle and high-level people of the three tribes, and the profits they receive have increased every year.

More frequent trade means more job opportunities, especially as the alliance mechanism continues to expand, allowing trolls and jackals to enter and leave Namur Fortress more freely, and the improvement of life at the bottom also brings new opportunities. Wave's fertility orgasm.

As for the Green Field Tribe, they have recently focused more on the Green Field Plain to the west. After the change of the leader of Namur Fortress, apart from continuing to deliver large quantities of supplies to the west, they have been very silent at other times.

On the other hand, the goblins were very active in the court seats, the Joint Chamber of Commerce and other institutions, and gradually took control of the voice of each institution. They led the tribesmen of the three tribes to build the two fortresses in the Cattor Canyon better and better.

After various rules were established in the fortress, it was of great benefit to a stable life. The living conditions were safe and it was at a strategic location. The drow in the north no longer made trouble for the trade routes, and business activities reached another peak. , brought huge rewards to the three tribes.

With their interests guaranteed, the middle- and lower-level natives of Nasir Fortress will naturally support reform institutions such as the Tribunal Council and the Joint Public Security Bureau. However, the higher-ups who have already benefited the most can no longer boycott the institutions of the coalition. Feedback When it comes to these institutions in court, it means that the power obtained by these institutions is stable and has a tendency to continue to expand.
