The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 648 Meeting
  At the beginning of the new year, there will be an important meeting at the headquarters of Nasir Fortress. The fifteen representatives of the three tribes attending the meeting are all powerful figures in the three tribes. There will be no representatives or support behind them. The person is absent.

The purpose of the meeting is, firstly, to report the tax and business income of the previous year, and to timely distribute the income of the three clans; secondly, to make plans for the work of the court for the next year, such as recruiting new people and establishing new departments. , abolish old inappropriate departments and members, etc.

No matter which matter it is, it is of vital interest to the three tribes. Except for the Green Field Tribe, the fifteen representatives of the three tribes, and the other ten representatives all have their own demands and needs. Naturally, they do not Maybe not taken seriously.

With the expansion of the power of the court seats, the ruling rights of the three tribes have been challenged to a greater or lesser extent. The power of public security and law enforcement, taxation authority, and commercial and trade rights have all been controlled by the court seats. The three tribes are left to control each other. The administrative management of the tribe, the appointment and dismissal of powers, and some control of military power are now within their rights.

The powerful families of trolls and gnolls, from their vigilance at the beginning, have gradually become accustomed to controlling power through court seats. For them, as long as their family's power is not affected, then whether they support the tribe or not Supporting joint court seats is actually similar.

In fact, through the power structure of the court seats, several major families have a larger and more stable voice and discourse power than they have in the tribe, making them more supportive of the court seats in their hearts.

After all, in the wilderness tribe, strength is the basis. Legendary leaders and elders naturally possess overwhelming power and dominance. As long as other families in the tribe do not have the support of legendary powerful men, they are just a group of replaceable people. They are just chess pieces and may be suppressed or eradicated by legendary powerhouses at any time.

Regarding fortress taxes and income distribution, even the legendary strong men will pay attention to it. As long as the legendary strong men of trolls and jackals are in the city when the meeting is held, they will take the time to come and participate in person. Basically every time for decades. A legendary powerful man attended the court meeting.

This shows that the benefits of the two fortresses of Cator are so great that even the legendary strong men are moved by them.

"...Last year's taxation and business income reached a new high. The specific detailed data has been compiled into a book and placed in front of everyone's desk. If you are interested, you can take a look."

"...I am here to report the overall situation of the previous year: the income from taxes and trade before expenses last year totaled 3.17 million..."

"... This year's budget plans for various departments under the jurisdiction of the court have also been released. Please take a look at the second white-covered document in front of your desk. If you have any questions, you can raise them after my report is over for discussion..."

The person presiding over the meeting was Mars, the hobgoblin representative from the Fakado family of the Green Field Tribe. He stood in front of the other fourteen representatives and spoke calmly and forcefully.

Next to him was Swara, the legendary leader of the hobgoblins, with sharp eyes competing with several other equal beings across from him.

Allen has been living in Green Lake Town for a long time over the years, and Cole, the legendary elder, has been reluctant to travel south ever since he received Allen's permission to travel south, and only sent back her sporadic information through the widely branched 'Allen' noodle shop. According to the news, only Swara, the newly promoted legendary strongman, is in charge of the clan.

Fortunately, this legendary hobgoblin leader who rose from the bottom has a great desire for power, and is not as indifferent as Allen and Cole, so he is allowed to attend such meetings and patrol Namur Fortress. Instead, he followed his will.

Opposite him, the troll leader Ariel, who was as withered as rotten wood and exuded the aura of death, was leaning on a chair, seemingly drowsy, but no one dared to despise his presence.

Even though Tim has the support of several major families in the clan and most of the middle-level leaders, in these years, in the power struggle between the chiefs and Ariel, who has half a foot in the Styx, not only has he not gained the upper hand, but he has even been slightly countered. Come and suppress the signs.

In particular, Ariel selected a group of promising talents from the young high-level warriors at the bottom to teach them personally and promoted them to their current status. He actually allowed him to train dozens of young people. A legendary seed.

How difficult it is for a tribal legend to be born, but even with such a difficult thing, Ariel, an old troll, was able to cultivate a legendary seed with great discernment even when he was fighting for power with Tim, which at least shows that he His ability and vision are still superior to Tim's.

If it weren't for Ariel's closer ties with the drow over the years, Tim might not have really wanted to compete with Ariel for tribal dominance. Especially when he personally told him about the existence of this troll legendary seed from Ariel's mouth, Tim felt a little shaken in his heart.

However, just when Tim was hesitating and struggling, Ariel's words of reprimand made Tim immediately regain his confidence.

"...You have to remember that I am a dying old man. In the future, the tribe will still have to rely on you to pass on the inheritance!!"

"...The relationship between me and Drow was originally a last resort choice, and it was also an attempt by me to compete with Bugbear Allen. Now it seems that even with the existence of powerful external factors like Drow , it is impossible for bugbears and his tribe to stop their pace. In this case, there is no need for you guys to follow me and fall to the drow..."

"...After I die, you can use the roster I will hand over to you to catch all the scum in the clan who are attached to the drow and the drow spies who have been inserted into the clan, and completely sever ties with the drow. "

"……I see."

Secretly using his peripheral vision to look at the old chief two seats away, Tim couldn't help but recall the heart-to-heart conversation between the two at that time, and felt a sense of peace in his heart.

The struggle for power in the past few years was actually just a play performed by Tim and Ariel in front of everyone. At an unknown time, Tim and Ariel met for a long time, and Ariel gave up everything. With all his experience, he worked hard to teach Tim how to control a tribe and how to become a qualified leader.

The only thing that worried Tim was the words Ariel hesitated to say at the end of that memorable conversation, and his determined expression at that time, which seemed to hide some secret.

The jackal man Bobby, who was next to Tim, seemed to have noticed that the other person was distracted, and touched him gently with his cane. When Tim came back to his senses, Bobby lowered his voice and said, "Would you like to suck him again tonight?" Wandering around Xiang Pavilion??”

"I heard that they have two new stunning drow females who are very good in bed!!"

Although the leader of the jackals, Bobby, is a legend, his preferences are different from others. He is not obsessed with power. Instead, he likes to dabble in beauty, especially the stunning beauties of other races, which attract his heart the most.

Moreover, he doesn't like to use force based on his strength and status. Instead, he likes the tone of love in books. It's a pity that with the animal head that a jackal wears, it's hard for females of other races besides jackals to appreciate his excellence and handsomeness!

Therefore, he could only go to places like brothels and wine shops to spend money to find some psychological comfort.

"...their charges are also very impressive!!"

Tim is actually not very interested in these things. Although he also has male needs, he is never too picky about the specific target. Anyway, with his current status, wanting a female who can vent his anger is just a matter of words. .

But in order to get closer to the jackals and take the gradually easing relationship between the two tribes a step further, he didn't mind following Bobby's fancy and hanging out with him.

Although Bobby doesn't care much about power, there is an undeniable fact that the future leader of the Crow Claw tribe will most likely still be Bobby, the jackal. Cole, the evil god priest who believes in the King of Gnolls, although his voice in Crow's Claw has gradually increased over the years, Maggot Eyes, the leader who is most disgusted with the King of Gnolls, still suppresses Cole and suffers from it. Under the influence, Bobiel naturally did not have much favorable impression of Cole and his church forces. Therefore, it was basically impossible for this priest whose strength was second only to Maggot Eyes to interfere with the core of tribal power.

"With our status, are you still reluctant to spend this little money??"

Bobby replied nonchalantly, his eyes full of expectation and reverie.

Maggot Eyes did not attend the regular meeting this time. He was leading a team of gnolls from his tribe, following the clergy members of the Ranger Church, sowing green seeds in the Tagan Desert in the north. Over the years, Maggot Eyes has never given up on establishing a presence in front of the Ranger Church and continues to move closer to it, which ultimately brings the relationship between the Crow Claw Tribe and the Ranger Church to a new level.

In the west city area of ​​Nasir Fortress, in addition to the Church of the King of Jackals, which was now pushed to a dark corner, the Ranger Church built a new church in the core area of ​​the city, and also erected a gorgeous statue for the Ranger Goddess.

Under the influence and leadership of Maggot Eyes, the belief in the Ranger Goddess is not slow to spread among the Jackals. At least in Maggot Eyes' view, whether it is the Ranger Goddess, the Sprout Goddess, or the belief in the fallen god Oak Father, they are more The cruel and ruthless Gnoll King is more suitable for the Crow Claw tribe.

"...I have a problem!!! I have long made the suggestion that the faith preaching within our three tribes should be treated equally. Why can churches like these natural gods be exempted from the basic defense force, and my Lord-- The church of the great Gnoll Guardian cannot have the power to form a defense force!!"

Compared with the past two hundred years, Cole's life has changed a lot in the past few decades since the court seat was established. On the surface, the troll chief Ariel and his family are fighting for power. Behind the scenes, the drow continued to show goodwill to him and win over him; secretly, Cole also had a heated relationship with the most influential goblins in the court, which could be said to be benefiting from both sides.

Taking advantage of the situation, Cole's voice among the three tribes became louder and louder. Although he was still suppressed by Maggot Eyes in the Gnoll tribe, he was not directly marginalized like before and had no existence as a legend. feel.

"Hehehe, Cole, don't push yourself too far. The leader allows you to preach in the tribe, which is already a mercy. If you still want to get involved in the power of the army, believe it or not, after I go back today, I will lead people to demolish your temple. !!!"

Although Bobby has unique hobbies, when it comes to loyalty to Maggot Eyes, he is only stronger than Tim. After hearing Cole stand up to express his opinion, Bobby immediately issued a sharp threat.

"Jiejiejie, then I'll go back and wait for you to come!!"

Cole was not left behind. Knowing that Maggot Eyes was not in the city, he confidently challenged him.

"boom!!!"

The material was specially changed, and the bar table made of fine steel made a dull and melodious sound under Bobby's paws, which made the dozen or so representatives around him frown.

The few guards stationed outside the conference hall did not make any move when they heard such a loud noise. They would come here once every year during the meeting, so that everyone became accustomed to it.

"Okay! Just wait!!"

"...I think it's better to vote."

Mars, who was presiding over the meeting, stood up and smoothed things over in a familiar manner.

However, I don’t know what kind of medicine Bobby and Cole took this time, and they didn’t seem to give up. They ignored Mars’s persuasion and both said: “Which way to vote, this is the internal affairs of my Crow’s Claw!! "

"Need not!!"

Two pairs of rounded and ferocious eyes looked at each other fiercely. A wave of cold murderous intent and the momentum of the legendary strong slowly penetrated into the large room, causing those representatives who were not legendary strong to bear the mental burden immediately. Due to the strong pressure, his face became unnatural.

Among the other legends in the field, some had nothing to do with them, some were meaningful, and there was also Swara, a new legend, whose confidence was somewhat lacking.

Crunch! ! !

Just when Swara was about to stand up forcefully and interrupt the obviously excessive confrontation between the two gnolls, the closed door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Just have a good meeting, why are you so crazy!!!"

What came face to face was a powerful momentum that was as heavy as a towering mountain. Not only the ordinary representatives in the conference room immediately felt the danger and trembled involuntarily, but even several legendary level experts also Their colors changed one after another, and they spontaneously raised their energy and will to counter the momentum of the intruder.

The situation of Cole and Bobby was worse than that of several other colleagues, because the intruder's more intimidating aura was aimed at the two of them. The imposing aura in front of them, which was comparable to the endless ocean, was the result of their efforts. Try your best, but you are just a small boat, drifting with the current in the vast ocean.

"Clan leader!!"

Swara, Mars and the other goblins finally cheered in surprise after seeing the face of the visitor clearly.

"Ah."

Allen nodded, then turned his attention to the two jackals standing in front of the fine iron table: "Have you calmed down?"

"Calm down and sit down for me!! Follow the rules of the court!!!"

The scornful tone echoed in the conference hall. No one expressed an opinion. Even the troll chief Ariel, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind before not dealing with Allen, was staring at Allen solemnly at this time, with a look in his eyes. Full of disbelief.
