The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 754 The attitude of the Holy See
  "I heard that you went south last time and traveled to a human place??"

Pope Felix is ​​a mixed race with obvious elf blood. Although the skin on his face is loose and wrinkled as he gets older, you can still feel the handsomeness of his appearance in his prime. Now he is a little more intellectual and intelligent. kindly.

This was not the first time Allen had come into contact with Fritz, but every time he talked to the kind-looking old man in front of him, the wild intuition in his heart would always send warning signs to himself from time to time, reminding him that the man in front of him could not even sit or stand. A very difficult old man actually has the power to threaten his own life.

"Yes."

Allen replied calmly: "When I was adventurously traveling in my early years, I made a friend from the Land of Ice and Snow. I heard a lot of magical rumors about the Land of Ice and Snow from him, but I never had the chance to see it."

"As the leader of a tribe, there are too many things that consume my time. Fortunately, there are many talented children among the younger generations of the tribe, and they no longer need me, an old guy, to nag beside them about how to manage the tribe. So I have a lot of free time now.”

"In addition, I have just entered the core level of the parliament and heard a lot of information that I had not been exposed to before. Although I do not believe in these contents, I prefer to check some contents in person so that I can have a clearer understanding. understanding.”

"It is said that human beings have been preparing for war and trying to start a war again. If this is true, then it is also very important to our wilderness, so I want to take advantage of this free time to go to the human side. Take a walk and feel for yourself the customs of the human kingdom and their real movements."

"Then you are thoughtful. Unlike the leaders of many tribes in the wilderness, they never care about changes in the outside world and only focus on the things on their own territory, for fear that outsiders will take advantage of them."

Nordin smiled knowingly and expressed pleasure at Allen's explanation.

"Who made me sit in one of the top positions now? Just like the concept that the church has always preached: with great power comes great responsibility. I am just fulfilling my obligation."

Allen shrugged and said with a wry smile: "But I didn't expect that after taking on these responsibilities, it would attract so much malice. I was hunted down all the time when I was traveling in the human kingdom. I didn't expect to return to the wilderness. The guys didn’t give up either!!”

"If I had known this was the case, I might have rethought my original choice and whether it was the right one!!"

"There must be a reason for humans and elves to assassinate you. Otherwise, why have Marvin, Allen and the other demigods never been assassinated by them, but only you are targeted one after another?"

Felix looked directly at Allen with his wise eyes, and said in a seemingly warm tone: "Perhaps, you should find the answer within yourself."

"Looking for answers within myself?"

While looking at Fritz, Allen's heart couldn't help but feel the meaning in his eyes. Could it be that the path he was exploring was already known to them?
  However, Allen's strong self-control quickly suppressed his emotional fluctuations, and he pretended to think as usual: "I really can't figure it out. What on earth do I, a bugbear from a humble background, have that is worthy of such a big fight?"

"Did they hear some rumors and be deceived?"

"Maybe, but maybe you do have some important secrets."

Fritz said earnestly: "But I also hope that you can face your own problems. Some things are taboo and cannot be touched. Otherwise, if someone discovers it, even our church may not be able to do it for you." Save."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I will reflect on myself later and see where the problem lies."

Allen's heart condensed slightly. Although the other party didn't say it clearly, it was hard not to feel the meaning of this knocking reminder. At this time, he could only pretend to be confused and quickly changed the topic: "But no matter what the problem is, this The invasion of the Green Field Plain by the sub-elven army has gone beyond the inherent potential rules between my wilderness and the elves. If we cannot show our attitude to the other party, I am afraid that the elves may behave even more excessively."

"So, at the previous alliance meeting, our tribe decided to lodge a strong protest and condemnation to the elves. I wonder if your Majesty, your side, will stand on the same front as us?"

Allen looked at the Pope in front of him expectantly, waiting for the other party's return. After hearing Allen's words, Felix also felt embarrassed and fell into deep thought.

"Alan, you still have to be cautious about this matter. Human beings are preparing for war, and the elves are also doing the same. In the past few years, our Oak Church has been focusing on the elves. The intelligence collected shows that their middle and low-level military attachés have been launching However, the higher echelons of the elves maintain a calm attitude."

"If this elven invasion reaches the top of the elves, it will inevitably cause trouble on the elven side. If the balance of the elves is broken and the elves retaliate, then things will be big!!"

Felix didn't speak, but Nordin on the side spoke to Allen earnestly.

"Captain Nordin, our Greenfield tribe is at the forefront of the northern border. If the elves launch an invasion of the wilderness, our northern tribes will be the first to bear the brunt. How could I not know the stakes!!"

"You have always paid attention to the elves, and so do our northern tribes. Although our intelligence system may not be as powerful as the church, we still have the most basic judgment."

"The current situation is that the middle and low-level military officers in the Elf Kingdom are no longer content with the status quo. They are trying to accumulate merit through war and strive for the promotion of their families like their predecessors more than a hundred years ago. But the Elf Kingdom is above The benefits of a war are certainly considerable, but battlefield fighting always requires both sides to pay a price. The dwarf kingdom lost more than a million people, while the elves also lost hundreds of thousands."

"It only takes dwarves at most twenty years from giving birth to growing up to become qualified warriors, but it takes at least forty years for elves to reach adulthood. Even if both sides have a greater proportion of casualties, the final result seems to be that the dwarves are faster. recover."

"Based on this consideration, the top elf leaders will rationally restrain the voices of the grassroots military attachés. Their plan must be to recover the elf population lost in the last war, and only after operating the newly acquired territory will they prepare for the next step. A great war.”

"At this time, in this matter that we obviously have control over, if we in the wilderness show too much weakness, then it is likely to arouse the ambitions of the grassroots elf military officers and think that we are easy to bully. And the elf high-level officials because of the defeat in the green field , the proud nobles must also want to regain their face, and at the same time test the true strength of the wilderness, and just sit back and watch the military's actions."

"On the contrary, if we act tough and make the elven leaders feel the pressure, then they may act more cautiously and continue to implement their kingdom's actions according to their existing plans."

Allen had used these words to impress his colleagues in the wilderness earlier, and now he was repeating them to Fritz and others, and he was naturally very familiar with it. “...It seems that Patriarch Allen, you really know a lot about elves!!”

Fritz's wise eyes kept looking at the Bugbear calmly while Allen was speaking. He waited until he finished speaking before speaking slowly.

"The elves are very proud. They are not willing to see their army defeated by a wilderness indigenous tribe. Therefore, this defeat has spread to the elves' ruling class. Someone will definitely be responsible for this and be severely punished. You The tribe is also likely to usher in more ferocious revenge."

"However, the high-level elves have great ambitions. They have been planning for countless years to occupy the entire Talon Continent and completely destroy the dwarves."

"In order to achieve this goal, they spent tens of thousands of years planning and eventually destroyed my lord's kingdom, causing my lord to sleep on the throne of God. This made our natural system unable to take care of itself and was unable to organize an attack on the dwarf kingdom when the elves launched an attack on the dwarves. Rescue.”

"Now that there has been peace for a hundred years, the elves are indeed recuperating and re-adjusting their attack plans."

"The next war will most likely be a real decisive battle. Either the elves will be defeated, or the dwarves will be wiped out."

"Humans have obviously reached a tacit understanding with the elves a long time ago. The two sides will inevitably launch a war at the same time. This leaves me in the wilderness in a dilemma, unable to devote all my efforts to the war on any of the continents and maintain the balance of civilization in this world."

"So, Your Majesty, we in the wilderness must show a strong enough attitude at this time, and we must make the elves have scruples in their hearts!!"

"The cooperation between humans and elves will definitely not be close. The two sides are tens of thousands of miles away from each other. It is impossible for them to cooperate in any war. Just like they blow the horn of war at the same time, they definitely hope that the wilderness will be thrown into the other side's battlefield. energy, support, so there’s less pressure on their own battlefield.”

"We need to take advantage of their mentality to at least buy more time for our wilderness before the war starts."

Allen nodded repeatedly, with an expression of approval on his face.

"Buying time? What can you do?"

Felix looked serious and suddenly asked a question.

"You and I know very well what kind of environment the wilderness is like. The temple established such a loose alliance originally to dispel the deep defensive mentality of the wilderness natives. It also hoped that the wilderness could complete reproduction and establish civilization as soon as possible."

"But now it seems that it was a mistake to formulate such a set of rules in the first place. A loose alliance will never have a core, and it is often unable to form an effective deployment at critical times."

"Originally, I planned to support Da Vinci, the kobold, and then create a relatively unified and stable power group with him as the core, but unexpectedly, it failed in the end. Several other demigod pillars in the wilderness noticed that After our temple’s actions, we immediately united together to fight against my temple and resolutely resisted the Pale Night, almost causing another scuffle and tearing in the wilderness.”

"Even in the past few years, Da Vinci has gradually drifted away from my temple. The other major tribes have not let go of their prejudices against my temple and the Pale Night. Their relations with each other are not as peaceful as you can see. .”

This is the first time Allen has heard about the relationship between the Pale Night tribe and other tribes and the church. No wonder Allen didn't hear about the close relationship between their church and several other demigods when the Oak Church was at its peak. It was probably also a major reason for the rapid decline of the church after the death of the Oak Father.

"At least we in the north need time to integrate. As long as I am given time, the six tribes in the north will definitely become the most united among the wilderness forces."

Allen raised his head and said decisively, his eyes full of confidence.

"As long as the integration of the six tribes in the north is completed, plus the Heart of Desolation and the dark elves of Korima that we have supported, and relying on the natural chasm of the Cator Mountains, even if the main force of the elven army goes south to invade the wilderness, we can still provide support for them. The wilderness bought time to mobilize troops and go north for support.”

"If coupled with the power of the Hosea Drow Federation, I am even confident that I can use these powers to complete the task of intercepting the elves on my own, and guard the northern border for a long time with sufficient support from the wilderness and the temple."

Fritz looked at the Bugbear in front of him with great interest, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. For many years, the church has been looking for a being who is capable, courageous and ambitious. Every time they thought they found such a being, they found it little by little. After supporting and strengthening them to a certain stage, these guys whose ambitions and desires are out of proportion will always want to break away from the control of the church, and even turn against the church for this reason.

This time, although the Bugbear in front of him also had strong ambitions and abilities, the church, after learning from previous lessons, did not interfere too much in their development and growth. Instead, the relationship between them became somewhat different. An inexplicable balance.

If Bugbear can unify the North, with the courage and vision he has shown now, under the pressure of the current situation, he will definitely break the inherent balance of the Mansa Alliance in the future and create a new scene.

Before the new rules appear, although there will definitely be turbulence, it is also an opportunity for the layout and development of the church. At least there will be a chance to eliminate the current shortcomings of the wilderness, making the wilderness more united and more powerful.

"Since you are so confident, then on behalf of the Oak Holy See, the Sprout Church and the Ranger Church, I support your decision."

"At the same time, we will also help you negotiate with other churches to get them to support your choice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome, my child. May nature always be with you."
