Green Monster Epic

Chapter 240: A Legend Appears (Two-in-One)

“Lord, they should already be fighting with the Owl Eagle Raiders inside the cave.”

The ogre chieftain Miller, who usually acted high and mighty before Nathan and the others, was now bowing respectfully before the lizardman who had previously been his ordinary warrior escort.

The previously unremarkable lizardman's muscles rippled, and his body gradually expanded. When he finally stopped, he still had the appearance of a lizardman, but his height had increased by over a foot, and his muscles were more robust and natural. A powerful aura slowly emanated from his body, causing Miller and another kobold warrior to tremble with awe as they looked at the legend before them.

“Heh heh, I didn’t expect the Owl Eagles to choose such a good place to hide. No wonder our intelligence system hasn’t been able to dig them out all these days.”

If Kaya were present, she would have cried out upon seeing the lizardman's face. It was none other than Monqi, the legendary powerhouse of the Shafer Tribe, whom they believed to be the source of the false information released by Mansha City.

Monqi's Shafer Tribe, while not in the same camp as the major tribes of the Centaur Kingdom, shared the same goal at this moment: to curb the Rose Principality of mankind's restless desire for expansion.

For many years, since the construction of Mansha City, many of the wilderness natives' resources had been invested in the Centaur Grasslands, which led to the existence of the Centaur Kingdom, a force almost independent of the Mansha Wilderness. Now that the Rose Principality of mankind was once again eyeing the Centaur Grasslands, it would inevitably disrupt the fragile balance built by the Temple of Nature for over 2,000 years.

Therefore, when a demigod powerhouse in Mansha City who was hostile to humans came forward and proposed to the Oakwood Merchant Guild to purchase a batch of high-powered weapons for the Centaur Kingdom, the balance faction of tribes leaning towards the Temple of Nature sat idly by and allowed these events to occur. However, no one expected that the Kadirong Tribe, which had previously leaned towards the hardline faction of the wilderness, would suddenly reverse its attitude and order the Owl Eagle Raiders, their fangs that they had nurtured for more than ten years, to plunder the Oakwood caravan.

Caught off guard, the Oakwood Merchant Guild did not expect that even with two of the three major factions in Mansha City reaching an agreement, someone would still dare to act against the wind, dancing on the edge of a knife, which resulted in their shipment of dozens of bird-wing ballistae being stolen.

Monqi originally did not intend to participate in this operation, but the Oakwood Temple requested that he come forward to help retrieve the lost goods, which forced Monqi to come to this remote wilderness and make many arrangements in secret.

In addition to the Kadirong Tribe, there were naturally other tribes that had been won over and bought by humans. Everyone had legendary powerhouses, although many were stationed in their own tribes, there were also a few tribes like the Shafer Tribe, who left a powerhouse in the city to help maintain the city's stability.

Currently, among the city lord and the other 12 councilors who dominate Mansha City, the balance faction has a numerical advantage, especially since the city lord Bimm Duran came from the Goblin Duran Tribe, he is the backbone of the balance faction and has a very deep relationship with the Temple of Nature. Therefore, he could not sit idly by and watch the sudden outbreak of the wilderness hawk faction, and sent a legendary powerhouse to retrieve their lost goods and face. If the hawk faction took action, it would inevitably arouse the resistance of the pro-human faction. Although the opponent was much weaker than the hawk faction, the Temple of Nature and the balance faction had worked so hard to maintain the current situation in the Mansha Wilderness, so naturally they could not allow the peace of the wilderness to be disturbed.

Therefore, Bimm, in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, issued a warning to all Mansha members after the incident, prohibiting any powerhouse above the legendary level from taking action, cutting off the possibility of the matter escalating. Subsequently, he issued a hiring mission in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, sending a message to the outside world that the City Lord's Mansion wanted to minimize the matter. This naturally made the hawk faction unhappy, but at least it did not cause too much concern for those pro-human tribes.

After all, if they really wanted to strangle the Owl Eagle Raiders, the City Lord's Mansion only needed to mobilize a part of the city guards guarding Mansha City, and they could basically wipe them out like crushing dry weeds.

However, what the pro-human faction did not know was that the balance faction had long been vigilant about the Rose Principality of mankind's repeated attempts to attack the border of the Centaur Grasslands. Therefore, the hawk faction's purchase of bird-wing ballistae through the Oakwood Merchant Guild was actually approved by the balance faction at a deeper level. Otherwise, how could the Elven Kingdom have so easily provided such strategic weapons.

Of course, the major factions were all active in secret, but at least everyone was very restrained. After the City Lord's Mansion's warning, although the major factions continued to make small moves, they did not cause too much trouble. And to make this matter settle quickly, there were actually only two ways out. The City Lord's Mansion simply hid a legend in the hired team, let him take action to strangle the Owl Eagle Raiders in one fell swoop and retrieve the lost goods. This would be a final conclusion to the matter, and at the same time, it would be a reminder to those guys who were becoming more and more outrageous.

The Duran Tribe is not only the backbone of the balance faction, but also an existence that has grown and strengthened under the support of the Temple of Nature. These two factors made it impossible for any other party to not carefully consider it when it spoke out and expressed its position.

Disguised and leaving Mansha City under Miller's cover, Monqi originally intended to search every inch of this area in the Doupeng Peak to find the Owl Eagles. But who would have thought that last night he noticed a few figures leaving the camp. Monqi, thinking that there was some sabotage activity, came out to check and found that they had only captured a peripheral member of the Hungry Python Gang, which gave him some unexpected joy.

It was not until today that Miller suddenly revealed the location of the Owl Eagle Raiders and more accurate information about Owl Eagle Klie and others, all of which came from Richard and their own mouths last night.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of this mission, the Oakwood Temple sent a powerful insect druid to find people. Druids who want to understand the weak consciousness of insects need not only the animal affinity talent, but also the insect affinity talent, which is extremely rare among thousands of druids. It can be seen that the Oakwood Temple has also put a lot of thought into retrieving this batch of bird-wing ballistae.

“Keep an eye on the kobold named Udo and the gnoll named Roba in the mercenary team. They wanted to release some small things last night, which should be to inform the Owl Eagle Raiders.”

“You two find a place to hide. I’m going in to see if these mercenaries can help.”

“Yes.”

Monqi jumped high and punched the narrow cave entrance. There was not much movement, as if he had hit cotton, but as Monqi retracted his palm, pieces of gravel fell between the cave walls, and the cave entrance, which even dwarves had to crouch to enter, suddenly expanded enough for two people to enter at the same time. Monqi's figure disappeared into the dark cave. Miller also retracted his respectful attitude, glanced casually at the confidant warrior beside him, and led him down the mountain to find a good place to stay.

In the cave, when Allen rushed up, he was greeted by a broad steel axe. The bright axe blade passed Allen as he dodged to the side and smashed into the ground. At the same time, Allen swung the heavy sword in his hand. With the infusion of powerful force, he only felt that he had slashed on a piece of solid chain, making a cracking sound. However, the opponent's chain armor still could not stop Allen's heavy sword from moving forward. The change from sluggish and heavy to light and comfortable after breaking through heavy defense was only a brief moment in Allen's hand, followed by the opponent's scream before he could even see his face clearly.

The scream had just begun to rise when it abruptly stopped. Allen's left hand seized the opponent's throat, his thumb and forefinger applying brutal force, directly tearing the other's trachea from their flesh. The opponent clutched their ripped neck in agony, struggling silently on the ground.

Kicking the opponent's fallen body forward, in the dim light, the Jackal Eagle members, drawn by the sounds of fighting, didn't expect a comrade's body to suddenly slam into them from below. Several stumbled, and as they were regaining their balance, a sword shadow transformed into three, slashing at three figures lunging forward.

"Shriek!!"

"Puff!!"

"Clang!!"

The three targeted reacted differently, but their fates were essentially the same. Almost all of them, under Allen's greatsword, flew back from whence they came.

Allen was now like a wolf in a flock of sheep, wantonly slaughtering the initial wave of Jackal Eagle members, with no one able to withstand more than a few moves.

After gaining the upper hand with one strike, Allen brought down another, relying on his powerful arm strength to force his opponent to use all their strength to resist. Just as the opponent thought Allen's strength was only so-so, Allen suddenly unleashed a Threefold Wave, charged up for a long time, coupled with an explosion of rage, directly smashing the opponent, who had just adapted to Allen's brute force, into the ground, sword and all, or simply cutting them in two, granting them release.

Evolved from the Trinity Slash, taking inspiration from the waves of Green Lake striking the shore, the Threefold Wave's power was even stronger and more complete.

Allen alone withstood the successive attacks of several Jackal Eagle members, and still had the strength to push the line of battle towards the brighter and more spacious main hall behind them.

Danielton and the other warriors on the front line with Allen, on the other hand, felt less pressure, so they were more than happy to assist Allen's strong attacks, blocking some of the arrows and javelins shot from afar, or the harassing attacks from the flanks.

"What strength! Let me test you!!"

A gnoll suddenly charged over, wielding a chain hammer a size larger than a normal one, smashing it down on Allen's head. With the sound of wind rushing, Allen grabbed the waist of an opponent who had just had their right arm cut off and threw them towards the gnoll's location. At the same time, the sword's blade pointed straight into the air, precisely striking the iron-spiked head of the chain hammer.

The chain connecting the hammerhead tightened and rebounded, just in time for the gnoll to bring the chain hammer back. With a flick of the wrist, the chain brought the hammerhead to smash against the body of the oncoming comrade, completely disregarding that the opponent was still alive. The狰狞 hammerhead砸 hit the comrade's waist, and with a crackling sound, this Jackal Eagle member was bent over at the waist and fell to the ground, spitting out a few breaths, and after a few spasms, lost their breath.

In their first exchange, Allen finally had an opponent worthy of a fight. The Threefold Wave built up momentum and launched an offensive against the gnoll ahead. The gnoll had just retracted the chain hammer, and although he was a step slower, it wasn't much of a surprise. The chain of the chain hammer directly met the greatsword, and the soft chain, forged from refined steel, wrapped around the greatsword, while the heavy hammerhead dragged a screeching sound across the greatsword's blade, drawing a circle before, with the gnoll's wrist slightly adjusted, smashing towards Allen's sword-wielding right hand along the greatsword's blade.

However, the gnoll underestimated the subtlety of Allen's Threefold Wave. Although the first wave of force was resolved by the chain, the power of the second and third waves exploded, immediately causing the gnoll's hands to shake, and he almost lost his grip. Fortunately, he timely put his left hand on it and injected rage to strengthen it, finally barely resolving the powerful impact. But by the time he wanted to control the chain hammer again, Allen's greatsword had already bounced open the chain hammer's blockade and regained its freedom.

Behind him, Allen's temporary teammates finally charged in. More and more mercenaries, arranged in simple formations according to the previous arrangement, fought with the onrushing members of the Starving Python.

"Clang!!"

The gnoll blocked a chain hammer, and an arrow was deflected by it. Allen seized the opportunity to directly attack the opponent's vitals. The gnoll pulled back to create distance, but unexpectedly, three arrows from afar, like consecutive beads chasing the moon, directly blocked his retreat, forcing the gnoll to brace himself and smash the hammer at the greatsword.

"Explode!!"

A magic bullet smashed open at the chain hammer's head, and the resulting air wave blocked the chain hammer for a moment. This was enough for Allen to make a thrust. Although the Mad Gale sword technique was not yet very proficient, it could already be used in actual combat. A heavy greatsword transformed into a flower of blades, blooming in front of the gnoll's chest.

"Roar!!!!!"

At the critical moment, the gnoll shouted loudly, and then his entire body suddenly rose more than an inch, and the chain hammer in his hand timely returned to defense. A powerful energy surged from his body, turning it into an iron curtain, and a dozen direct stabs from the greatsword划拉 out bright sparks. The opponent's suddenly erupted power far exceeded the strength he had shown when fighting Allen before. Allen, who had inherited knowledge, was prepared for this. While continuously applying pressure with the greatsword, he handed over the opportunity to kill the gnoll to his teammates.

Although they were temporary partners, Kaya and the others had a good understanding with Allen. Seeing that the gnoll was paying more attention to Allen, the two of them didn't hesitate. Richard began to chant incantations, while Kaya drew her bow into a crescent moon, her eyes focused on the gnoll. The tip of the arrow on her right hand glowed brightly. As Kaya loosened the bowstring, an arrow directly disappeared into the air. By the time it appeared under the gnoll's left rib, the sound of tearing through the air was only just transmitted from the bowstring.

"Puff!!"

The gnoll timely turned sideways and escaped a catastrophe, but was still pierced under his left rib by the arrow. The fierce arrow blade directly took away a piece of flesh from the gnoll's body, tearing open a penetrating hole the size of three fingers under his left rib.

"Awoo!!!!!"

The gnoll glared angrily at Kaya, who was drawing her bow in the distance, but Allen in front of him wouldn't give the opponent a chance to shake him off. While slashing with the greatsword, he shouted at the opponent: "Your opponent is me!!!"

"Thump!! Ding!!"

The greatsword swept open the blockade of the chain hammer, and a slash that had lost most of its force landed on the gnoll's armor, only resulting in the opponent stumbling, briefly losing his balance. At the same time, the hair on Allen's back stood on end, and a cold aura struck. Allen lowered his head without thinking, and then he heard a loud "Clang!" A violent collision. The gnoll in front of him flew out.

A layer of frost covered the gnoll's full-body armor, and a gash was torn open on his left shoulder. Fresh blood was spreading from the opponent's wound, and then slowly frosted and solidified in the extremely cold air.

Allen didn't care about the others. Since the opponent was weak at this time, what was he waiting for!!

His right leg exerted force fiercely on the ground, and the change from stillness to movement was only a matter of an instant. As the gnoll a few meters away was just getting up from the ground, Allen slashed his sword, carrying its swift kinetic energy and all his strength, directly at the opponent's chest.

"Thump!!"

In a hurry, the gnoll only had time to raise the chain hammer in a defensive posture, but without exerting his full strength, his body, which weighed more than 300 pounds including the armor, flew up again, directly gliding and tumbling on the ground, also smashing down comrades, tables, chairs, and debris blocking the way. By the time he finally came to rest, blood was gushing out of the gnoll's wide mouth like it was free, and then, under an arrow that pierced through his eye socket, he lost his last breath.

"This seems to be the gnoll chieftain, Mitchell. You all better watch out. I'm the one who took him down!!"

Kaya, who had made the final shot, began to shout at Allen from afar. The battle wasn't over yet, and she was already distracted, wanting to snatch the spoils of war, earning Allen a blank stare in return.

Afterwards, Allen raised his sword again and killed towards the Jackal Eagle warriors on the side.
