Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1025: Alone

The lengthy conversation continued for several days in this gloomy demiplane, and the mood of the temple representatives was as heavy as the sky in this place.

The church had grown accustomed to its dominant position in the wilderness for so many years, but it never seemed to consider that its perceived strength was like a castle in the air, vulnerable to being punctured or having its inflated shell burst at any moment.

Just as Allen had analyzed, the Green Field and the Six Northern Tribes, seemingly weak in the eyes of the temple churches, could cause earth-shattering changes to the wilderness, which had maintained its status quo for tens of thousands of years, if they were determined to oppose the temple.

Unless, after leaving this demiplane, the representatives of the four churches could persuade the temple to reach a consensus and dispatch the backbone forces hidden within the demiplane by their respective churches to suppress the Green Field tribe and the Beastmen Saint with decisive force before they could complete their actions, it might be possible to temporarily stabilize the current situation in the wilderness.

But was that possible?

Although the representatives hadn't discussed it yet, they had already made a negative answer in their minds after weighing the situation. The strength of the major churches of the temple in the demiplane was also at its lowest point in ten thousand years. In order to launch a counterattack against humans and weaken and contain their powerful war potential, the temple had transferred a large number of elites from the demiplane to the wilderness allied forces to fight alongside them.

Even if the temple could now assemble an elite legion to suppress the six northern tribes, the price, consequences, and impact would still cause great trouble and obstacles to the subsequent counterattack against humans, and even lead to the collapse of the counterattack allied forces.

And even if the northern tribes were suppressed, who could guarantee that Allen, the Beastmen, could be killed on the battlefield in this battle?

As long as this culprit was not eliminated, then, as threatened by this powerful Beastmen whose individual strength had reached the limit that the Feyman world could bear, comparable to the existence of a real god, if he focused on destroying and slaughtering the periphery of one or two church forces, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the targeted church.

It should be known that this Beastmen was only 500 years old at most. According to the lifespan of a Saint, he still had more than a thousand years to live. Over these long years, which church force could withstand the terrifying consequences of constantly decreasing believers and the continuous decline of the church and the god's strength?

"...Your Excellency's request and all the contents of this conversation will be truthfully relayed to the temple and His Holiness the Pope. As for the final result, it may not be as you wish. I hope you will think twice about your next choices and decisions."

If the temple representatives who came to meet Allen at the beginning had a somewhat condescending attitude, then with the in-depth exchanges and debates over the past few days, at least these representatives had understood Allen and the attitude of the forces he led. Their arrogant attitude had been completely dispelled by Allen's words.

At this time, the meeting between the two sides came to an end. Even though Garfield hated Allen to the bone, he still showed a more humble posture than at the beginning of the meeting, and bid farewell to Allen.

"My choice will ultimately depend on the attitude and choice of the temple. While asking me to think twice, you should also find a way to prevent me from making the worst decision."

"After this meeting, I will wait in Green Lake City for the final reply from the churches behind you."

"I hope this time will not be too late, after all, I can't wait too long, otherwise the risks and costs that I and my tribe have to bear will be too high."

Allen also couldn't hide his exhaustion. The burden on his body caused by repeated battles was too great. Now, he was engaged in an intellectual struggle with several temple representatives, having to consistently show strength while retaining enough leeway to make the other party feel his sincerity. Every word had to be weighed repeatedly in his mind before it was spoken, and the mental exertion was no less than a battle.

"We understand, we will definitely give you a reply as soon as possible."

The five people nodded with heavy expressions.

As Allen activated a magical item given to him by Gavin, a tremor suddenly came from the center of the devastated square. Soon, a teleportation array in the form of an altar appeared in front of several people. When Allen walked to the front of the array and embedded jewels of inestimable value into the gaps left on the array, gentle magic fluctuations rose from the array, and an invisible arch in the shape of a rainbow slowly formed.

"High Priest Garfield, please stay. I would like to say a few more words to you alone. Please convey them to His Holiness Saint Quentin."

Just as the five temple representatives were about to step into the array, Allen suddenly spoke again, asking the troll high priest Garfield to stay.

Hearing Allen's words to stay, Garfield's leg movement paused, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster, but then he quickly returned to normal. After quickly weighing the situation in his mind, he signaled to his companions with his eyes, asking them to leave first.

Since Allen could allow him and his forces to maintain their current state in order to persuade the temple, it meant that the other party would not easily deal with him, otherwise his efforts for so many days would have been in vain.

"Your Excellency Allen, what else do you need me to bring back to His Holiness?"

After the other four people passed through the array, Garfield tried his best to maintain a calm and indifferent posture, staring intently at Allen.

"I just want to remind the members of the Church of Nature of one thing: don't forget your real opponent in the temple."

"Although the Father of the Oak seems to have fallen into eternal slumber from various deeds, as long as his church and believers still exist, then he will still have the day to be resurrected. The Church of Nature inherited most of the authority and power after the Father of the Oak's eternal slumber. If one day, the Father of the Oak suddenly reclaims his throne, how will His Holiness Obai, the God of Nature, deal with himself? Will he willingly return the inherited authority to the Father of the Oak? ?"

"Although the Father of the Oak waking up from eternal slumber is only a very small probability, as long as the three major churches of the Oak camp continue to promote his ideas and continue to develop his believers, then he still has the possibility of waking up, and even his probability of waking up is far greater than my ascending to the throne."

"If the Church of Nature supports my current path and is willing to give me a guarantee and a promise, then the Northern Territory, as the main base of the Father of the Oak's believers, will have one more powerful competitor, and the chance of the Father of the Oak waking up will naturally be lower."

“The other churches of the Temple are only worried that if I ascend to godhood in the future, I will become a competitor for believers behind their gods. However, considering the current predicament faced by the Temple, you should need more powerful assistance,”

“I can promise the Church of Nature here that before I truly reach the summit, the Church of the Food God under my control will never cross the Northern Territory's sphere of influence.”

“Anyway, the Church of Nature's territory and followers are not within my Northern Territory. In a sense, we shouldn't be opponents but partners who can cooperate.”

“When I develop believers in the Northern Territory, I am actually competing with the Oak Church, which is also indirectly curbing the chances of the Oak Father's awakening, wouldn't you agree?”

There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies. The three major churches of the Oak camp have a close relationship with the Green Field Tribe. Regarding the existence of the Food God Church, they seem to be more friendly and calm. However, Allen is very clear about the competitive relationship between them. Their current friendliness may be a cover for the thunderous killing intent that follows.

Moreover, my actions are not a betrayal in essence. Over the years, the Oak Church has been able to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory, which is ultimately due to Allen's support behind the scenes. Otherwise, even if the Oak Church has some foundation in the Northern Territory, if the Church of Nature camp really wants to intervene, it would not be easy for the Oak Church, which no longer has a main god to rely on, to resist.

Allen cannot say these words to any church. Even if this fact occurs, it will not have much impact on other churches. Only the God of Nature, Obai. Hai, who inherited most of the Oak Father's inheritance, will never allow the Oak Father to awaken from eternal sleep, because there is a fundamental conflict of interest between them.

“Chief Allen, I will truthfully report what you said to His Holiness the Pope.”

Garfield's face was solemn and rigid, never letting Allen see any emotional changes. Only after confirming that Allen had nothing else to say did he step into the teleportation portal.

Allen also did not stay in this demi-plane for long. He then followed the steps of the temple representatives through the teleportation portal, returning to the familiar and wonderful material world.

“How is it? Was everything settled?”

Although he was not in the demi-plane, with the wisdom of a demigod mage, he could basically guess the content of the conversation that took place in the demi-plane. At this time, seeing Allen come out, and the figures of the two temple representatives who had been watching from afar had turned into black dots, gradually disappearing into the sky, Jarvin asked with a smile.

“Anyway, I have done everything I can do. The problem of choice is left to them.”

Allen responded blankly and leisurely.

I have never liked the feeling of giving the initiative to others. From the first day he became the chief of the Green Field Tribe, he had been working hard to get rid of this predicament. However, even now that he has reached the pinnacle of power in the Fayman world, he still has not been able to do what he wanted to do in the first place.

“I believe there will be a good result.”

Jarvin can understand the mood of the bear goblin in front of him, because he not only has very detailed information about the bear goblin, but also a prediction made by scholars trained by the Assassin's Guild, so he can guess the conversation inside. He could guess the attitude of the temple representatives and their possible choices in the future.

“Hopefully.”

Allen withdrew his gaze, and his eyes became firm again: “Send the bill for renting the demi-plane and using the teleportation array directly to my tribe's representative in Mansha City, and they will prepare the reward and hand it over to you.”

“Those are all small problems. We trust your character.”

Jarvin smiled slightly and said freely: “Of course, if you are willing to provide master-level dishes to our guild on a regular basis, then we are willing to waive the fee this time.”

“Regular? What kind of regularity?”

Although it was just a transaction of several million gold coins, Allen was still a little interested. Anyway, he was already in debt, and before a tribe magician chef came out to help him share the burden, he would have to pick up pots and pans and do a big job every once in a while.

In that case, it doesn't seem to matter if there is one more or one less dish, as long as the tribe can prepare the corresponding ingredients, then he will only spend ten and a half months more.

“For example, provide our guild with one or two dishes every ten years, and we will give you a return according to the market price. Or you can give us a list of the ingredients you need, we will prepare the ingredients ourselves, and then pay you a cooking labor fee?”

As soon as Jarvin heard Allen's question, knowing that there was hope, he immediately offered his conditions: “We will no longer charge intermediary fees for tasks hung in the guild in the name of the Green Field Tribe in the future.”

“Two dishes every thirty years, you can send someone to discuss the specific settlement with Albard later.”

Allen thought for a while, then gave his answer.

The Assassin's Guild is also an organization that cannot be offended. This time they are willing to rent the demi-plane to themselves, which is considered to be a favor to them, and now agreeing to the other party's request is considered a reward.

“No problem!”

Jarvin didn't mean to bargain at all, and agreed immediately, with a bit of joy in his eyes.

This time, taking the opportunity to propose cooperation with Allen on magic dishes, he was prepared for Allen to refuse, after all, according to his understanding of the character of this bear goblin chief, he generally would not like to be troubled by trivial matters.

“Then it's settled, I'll send someone to send a batch of ingredients over in a few days.”

“Okay.”

Allen nodded, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave. Next, he still has a lot of things to be busy with, such as meeting with the powerful figures of the three major churches in the Oak camp.

As long as these two camp churches, which have great influence in the temple, are settled, even if the remaining few churches, which have always been relatively neutral, are still hostile to Allen and the Food God Church, it is estimated that it will be difficult to promote the temple's actions to deal with him. As for them using the power of their own churches to suppress and contain the Food God Church, with the current strength of the Green Field Tribe and the Thorns Ring, Allen is not so worried.

However, when meeting with the representatives of the three churches in the Oak camp, there is no need to ask Jarvin to help prepare the venue. He will directly host a banquet for the other party in the inner city manor of Mansha City. I believe that with their close relationship, they will naturally not be afraid of Allen setting up any traps in it, nor will they talk about the need to do anything.

There are still 5 days left in the end of the month, and I will be fully diligent. Next month, I can rest assured to be absent from work...
