Green Monster Epic

#298 - Belated reinforcements, preaching

Whoosh!!!

A figure sped swiftly through the air before landing on the flattened square atop the Green Lake Village's mountain, startling a group of children diligently training, scattering them in all directions.

Only after recognizing the newcomer did they return to the square, giggling and teasing each other for their cowardice.

“Greetings, Master!”

The children were very polite, bowing and greeting the middle-aged elf who always wore a grass-green robe and a smile.

“Yes, yes, hello children!”

Legendary Druid Oscar received Klay's letter about three months after Eileen sought Klay's help.

At that time, Oscar was with the Knights of the Oakwood Temple, pursuing an army of over ten thousand demons led by two legendary demons, and he really couldn't spare the time.

The barrenness of the Greenwild Plains was both a disadvantage and an advantage.

Because Allen and the others were excavating the Auro Mine, they had cleared the indigenous tribes around the plains in advance, which also scared away many tribes, making it very slow for Vicki and the others to find sacrifices.

After much difficulty, they gathered the basic requirements to open the altar and summoned a batch of demons to descend.

Who would have thought that the first demon leader would be all muscle and directly bury most of the demon army that Vicki and the others had summoned?

The subsequent events are self-explanatory, and Allen and the others roughly knew what happened.

In the central area of the wilderness, even in remote areas that large tribes didn't value, there were far more indigenous people living scattered than in the Greenwild Plains.

Countless small squads of evil god worshippers in these places raided indigenous villages and collected flesh sacrifices at a much faster rate than in the Greenwild Plains, and the number and quality of the demon armies they summoned were not comparable to Vicki's team.

The end result was that as more and more flesh sacrifices were offered, the demon armies raging in the wilderness became stronger and stronger; the stronger the demon armies, the more they gained from attacking and massacring the target tribes.

This formed a chain reaction.

While the demon tide from the south had not yet crossed the line of defense of the Centaur Kingdom, the scale of the demon attacks caused by the local evil god turmoil caused the more than one hundred members in Mansa City to become solemn and quickly mobilize troops to clear out these evil god worshippers and the demon armies they summoned.

Demon armies don't need fixed territories; as long as it's a creature that can move on the Ferman world, they are a delicious source of food, so they don't need supplies and can completely sustain themselves through war, except for one thing that restricts their movements—the flesh altar.

After all, the flesh altar is a magical tool, so it must follow the precise and rigorous principles of magic.

Therefore, whether it's building the spell model or matching the materials, it takes a lot of effort and time, and it can't be easily disassembled and taken away.

It was by seizing this fundamental problem that the demon riots caused by the evil god worshippers were slowly cleared out by the wilderness natives bit by bit.

The target that Oscar and his party faced had an army commanded by two legendary demons, but contrary to the style of other demon armies, they directly abandoned the flesh altar that summoned them and wreaked havoc in the wilderness with this demon army, burning, killing, and looting along the way.

Any target they set their sights on would only face destruction.

In order to chase this cunning opponent and wipe them out from the wilderness, the Oakwood Temple and the Ranger Goddess and several other temple knight orders, combined with 5-6 legendary powerhouses drawn from Mansa, spent a full four months to finally block this demon army in a mountain range.

In the end, they paid the price of three legendary powerhouses being seriously injured and two being slightly injured, using numerical superiority to kill these two legendary-level demons, completely eradicating this major hidden danger in the wilderness.

After completing his mission, Oscar simply returned to Mansa City to report and then rushed to the Greenwild Plains to relieve Allen and the others.

It must be said that he took good care of Allen and his tribe.

Allen's potential and talent had been seen by Oscar over the years.

It was because he valued Allen's talents that Oscar was willing to often visit the Greenwild Plains and spend time with Allen and the others.

The Natural God system had huge interests in the Mansa Wilderness.

For them, they most hoped to see the wilderness develop and grow steadily and orderly.

The more believers, the stronger the Natural God system's gods would become, and the heavier the weight of balancing the Ferman world would be.

“Master, why are you here?”

Oscar familiarly blocked Allen by the green lake on the edge of the village.

This hobgoblin's daily habits were too regular, so it wasn't difficult to find him.

“I’m relieved to see that your village is fine!”

Oscar smiled with relief.

The stone ground at the foot of the mountain in the village showed signs of vitrification, which showed how fierce the battle was at that time.

Now, after taking a tour of the village, he also found that many familiar faces were missing, which made him feel really heavy.

However, after seeing that Allen, the Greenwild hobgoblin leader, didn't seem to have any decadence or frustration on his face, Oscar felt very relieved.

“How is it? Do you know the whereabouts of those demons?”

This time, Oscar came to help Allen find the demons' foothold, especially their flesh altar.

As long as this thing was destroyed, no other demon armies would appear on this barren land for a while.

“Give me some time, and I'll help you find these demons.”

Before, when Klay had Eileen bring word that the temple couldn't spare manpower to rescue them, Allen was somewhat disappointed, to be honest.

But now, seeing Master Oscar rushing over in a dusty state, although the time was a bit long, it showed that the other party didn't ignore them because their tribe was remote and weak.

At this time, Allen's heart was full of gratitude.

“No need, Master, we have already annihilated all these demons, and the flesh altar they hid in the western mountains has also been destroyed by me.”

Allen laughed, somewhat proudly answering.

“…Oh, is that so? That's good!!”

Oscar didn't feel upset because his efforts were in vain.

He frowned slightly and said, “Then tell me, how did you fight this demon army in the first place? What were the casualties like?”

“This is a long story, Master, you probably can't imagine…”

Facing this respectable elder, Allen didn't hide much.

He recounted the two encounters with the demons, the sudden transformation of the elf Legolas into the dragon Figolas, and so on, one by one.

Some of the thrilling parts made Oscar follow Allen's emotions, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed.

By the time Allen had finished recounting his experiences over the past few months, more than two magical hours had passed, and the two had unknowingly returned to Allen's stone fort.

“I didn't expect that Legolas, that elf, was actually a legendary dragon transformed…”

“According to what you said, you have now broken through to the 15th level of Berserker, right?”

Oscar gently stroked his jaw, his eyes flowing with wise light.

“Yes.”

The growth of his own strength was actually inseparable from Master Oscar's selfless help.

The other party had given his insights on many technical and tactical aspects and the operation of bloodline rage, which benefited Allen a lot.

Now, as he broke through to the 15th level of Berserker, the knowledge in the inheritance crystal was no longer enough to support Allen's continued progress.

If Allen wanted to further improve his strength, then he needed to understand more in-depth knowledge, such as the 'Legendary Road' that many people had been mentioning.

Until now, Allen didn't know what it was exactly.

“Next, there will be the legendary level, where countless people can't find a way forward.

In the entire Ferman world, more than 99% of the outstanding talents stuck on this road fail to cross it in their lifetime and find their own path.”

“To be honest, even I myself spent more than 20 years searching on this road, and the difficulties I experienced are beyond your imagination now.

So don't think that you seem to be standing on the threshold of legend now, but in fact, the road you have to walk is still very long.

Perhaps you will still be stuck at this level until the end of your life.”

“Of course, everyone's opportunities to break through to legend and find their own path of inner discovery are different.

Everyone's experiences have always been very vague in this matter.

It seems that when you really understand that belief and understand your true heart, everything will naturally break through.

But if you really want me to tell you about my breakthrough experience, I don't know how to tell you the difference in detail.”

“Anyway, when you find that firm belief in your heart, deeply buried in your spirit, that goal, your view of the whole world will be completely different, as if the world has come alive in front of you.

That feeling, alas, I don't know what language to use to describe…”

Oscar sat upright, trying to organize his language so that he could better tell Allen some of his insights on breaking through to legend.

But after all, this was a mysterious matter, closely related to the mind, spirit, and a person's experience and personality, and it couldn't be explained in a few words.

Otherwise, countless high-level professionals wouldn't be blocked outside the Legendary Road.

As for the temple, there were indeed a lot of knowledge about this aspect, and there were also some auxiliary means to break through, but limited by the rules of the temple, Oscar couldn't teach Allen privately.

If Allen wanted to truly access this knowledge, then he needed to join the Oakwood Temple, become the Father of the Oak's ground walker in the Ferman world, and make outstanding contributions to the temple.

However, looking at Allen's attachment to his tribe, Oscar believed that the other party probably couldn't bear to leave this group of goblins and serve alone under the Father of the Oak.

Allen listened carefully to what Oscar said, even though many of the contents were so ethereal and illusory that Allen couldn't understand them for a while.

“If you really want to go further, then I think it's necessary for you to venture out more and experience things that are different from the Greenwild Plains.”

Finally, Oscar gave his advice, which he also believed was the best way to help Allen advance in the future.

“The strong among your wilderness natives have almost all experienced various exciting adventures, and most of them have even experienced life-and-death battles, desperate counterattacks, and things like that.

Perhaps at that moment, a person can better know their own heart and understand what their most precious emotions are…”

“……”

Oscar didn't stay in Green Lake Village for long; he soon returned to Mansha City.

The wilderness still wasn't completely calm. As members of the Temple of Nature, Oscar and his companions still had arduous tasks ahead!

Of course, aside from telling Allen some of his own summarized legendary experiences, Allen also learned a lot of the latest news from the wilderness. For example, many tribes far more powerful than Green Lake Village were slaughtered by the brutal demon army in this chaos of the evil god; far to the south, hundreds of thousands of centaur kingdom troops were desperately blocking the endless demons trying to break into the wilderness…

"Settle your tribe down, and then go out and have a look around. Now is a critical time for the wilderness tribes, but it is also a time for the strong to temper their strength."

"The gods of the Temple of Nature have issued many missions, open to all adventurers in the wilderness. Mission rewards include war profession crystal inheritances, alchemy, forging, and other related crystal inheritances. You can also take this opportunity to collect some useful knowledge inheritances for your tribe."

"The Mansha City Council has also issued many missions, with rewards mostly the same as the temple's. However, one difference is that after completing these missions, you can obtain relevant contributions to Mansha City. If your tribe wants to gain a foothold in Mansha City in the future, you will need to prepare for these things in advance."

"Of course, this depends on how ambitious you are."

Oscar told Allen a few very attractive pieces of news before leaving, which made Allen's heart stir. However, looking at the situation in the village, which was not yet on the right track, Allen gently shook his head and declined Oscar's suggestion.

"Do as you see fit; I'm just making a suggestion."

Oscar didn't mind. After smiling slightly, he transformed into a beautiful griffin and soared away.

"Oh, right, Redel told me that a human woman seems to be inquiring about you from time to time!"

Oscar's figure disappeared into the distance, but he left behind a suggestive remark, which trailed off into Allen's ears. Allen shook his head slightly and ignored it.

The overall strength of the Green Field Tribe was actually not too bad. After a great battle, the most casualties were low-level warriors, with 10 out of more than 20 mid-level warriors killed. However, in this series of desperate battles, more than 14 of the most numerous low-level warriors in the tribe explosively advanced.

In addition, there were 7-8 more warriors who said that they had touched the threshold of advancement and might be able to advance to mid-level soon.

Among the high-level warriors, A-Xiao was gone, but Pavao and Dasha, two newly promoted high-level members, had emerged.

Calculating this way, the number of mid- and high-level war professions in the village had increased rather than decreased. The overall strength had not been reduced too much because the number of fallen warriors exceeded 200. Of course, too many low-level warrior casualties would naturally have a great impact on the future development of the tribe. For example, there was now a gap in the 7-8 level warriors. If they wanted to see the continuous advancement of warriors again, it was estimated that it would take at least ten years for the new generation to grow up again before there would be a virtuous cycle.

The situation that emerged in this battle gave Allen some other ideas in his mind. As for whether this idea could eventually become a reality, it would depend on Allen consulting several wise men.

"How is it? Is your body alright now?"

On the long table in Allen's stone fort hall, there were a few less familiar faces, and a few new faces had appeared. Saying they were new faces was not entirely accurate; it was just that these leaders had not been qualified to appear at this long table before. Now, with the changing of the old and the new in the tribe, they were gradually showing their talents.

For example, Tony Roland, the gnome. As Chahua gradually disliked managing things due to emotional trauma and physical disabilities, he handed over part of the burden to Tony, his deputy, which gave him the qualification to sit at this table, even though he was only a level 6 warrior now.

Allen swept his eyes around both sides. The tribe's continuous battles had left almost all the leaders injured, with the only difference being the severity of the injuries. As Allen inquired, several goblins whose injuries had not fully healed nodded, indicating that their condition was good.

Only Pavao, who was right next to Allen, still looked desolate. He had been lucky to get his life back. When they found him, he only had one breath left. He didn't die in the fight with the human cavalry leader, but almost died under the dragon's breath. Fortunately, at that time, he was pressed down by the corpse of the human cavalry leader, which blocked the most powerful flames of the dragon's breath for him, leaving him with a breath.

However, the death of his eldest son, Bazel, made Pavao experience the grief of a white-haired man sending off a black-haired man, which still made him unable to recover, and he looked very decadent every day.

"We suffered too many losses this time. Although the mine may be abandoned for a while due to insufficient manpower, we will have to reopen it sooner or later. Pavao, how about I leave this part to you in the future?"

Allen frowned slightly, and then said the business in a flat tone.

"Okay."

Pavao didn't have too many emotions because he could stand alone. He responded in the same bland tone, but after looking up and meeting Allen's eyes, Allen felt relieved after seeing the seriousness in his eyes.

"Although the mine cannot be reopened for a while, you can take a team to repair the remaining works there first, so that when we have new laborers, we can directly settle them there."

"Tony, Chahua said to hand over the accounts in the village to you. I hope you don't disappoint me."

"Chief, don't worry, I will clear the accounts clearly."

Tony was trusted and was very excited. He was the first person in the gnome clan to gain great power, which was naturally of great significance.

There were still many bad habits in the village, such as ranking his position in the village according to his strength. In this respect, the gnomes were naturally at a disadvantage, so until now, no gnome had been able to become a leader. Everyone's original expectations were placed on Ke'er, Eileen, and Tom, hoping that after these outstanding talents among the gnomes stood out, their gnomes' status could be further improved.

Now that Tony was promoted, the gnomes' expectations were realized several years earlier. After Tony took power, most of the gnomes in the village had a few smiles on their faces these days, as if Tony's favor made everyone in the clan feel very glorious.

This is the difference between gnomes and the other two branches of goblins. Perhaps this is related to their small strength, so they know how to keep warm together.

"Dasha, you now…"

"…"

"In two days, I will go to Thornsburg to deal with some things that need to be dealt with. I will leave the village to you."

"Okay."

"Understood."

After Allen settled the village, he took a few people to Thornsburg not long after.

The Green Field Plain was not safe now, and Allen didn't want to weaken the tribe's combat power in vain, so he didn't take many people with him on this trip to Thornsburg, not even the two girls, Ke'er and Eileen. Anyway, these two girls had seen blood now and were brave warriors who had pounced and killed in times of life and death. They could already help the tribe with many things. The money, gems, and other supplies stored in the village had been taken away by the greedy Figlas, so Allen didn't have much supplies to take to the elves to sell this time, just some prepared spices and seasonings, which could be taken away in the dimensional bag at once, which was easy and convenient.

Allen always remembered what Philip had Ke'er and the others bring back, telling him to go to Thornsburg. There was also the problem with the shops opened by the village in Thornsburg. Before, because of the sudden outbreak of the demon attack, Allen had put this matter on hold. Now that he had time, he could deal with it.

After the Bone Fragment Village was gone, the wilderness seemed to have become a little deserted all of a sudden. Allen went to see the land they had reclaimed around the Rapids Bay. In the land, the potatoes and sweet potato plants were very lush. It seemed that even without so much management, the self-growth of these crops was not bad, so there was no need to worry about the village's food problem next.

The Elven Kingdom of Thornsburg did not seem to have changed much because of the major event of the demons invading the Feiman world. Except that the curfew was slightly stricter and the patrols of the elven soldiers in the city were more frequent, it seemed that this demon tide that ravaged the entire wilderness and the Xilun continent had nothing to do with their Elven Kingdom.

In the city, the elves' lives were still so bland and unchanged, which made the few noodle restaurants opened by Green Field Village still have great business.

Allen stood in front of the noodle restaurant with the sign 'Allen's Noodle' hanging in the south of the city, counting the customers coming in and out in this short period of time, and was very gratified.

At least, with the stable income of the noodle restaurant, the changes in Green Lake Village have been moving in a good direction in recent years.

The inheritance crystals that could only be dreamed of before, because of the income of this noodle restaurant, slowly accumulated money and re-added two more. If the legendary dragon hadn't suddenly taken away the village's savings, Allen would have been able to take one down if he encountered a crystal auction again this year. Of course, this was limited to ordinary inheritance crystals. As for inheritance crystals like knights, paladins, and druids, Allen could only think about it for the time being, and basically didn't have the strength to take them down.

Because of the importance of the noodle restaurant to the village, Allen would never allow problems to arise here. At the beginning, Chahua checked the accounts and found the trick. At that time, Allen didn't show much turbulence in front of the fight, but in fact, in his heart, he was already furious and ready to use ruthless means to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, so that these guys would understand what a miserable end it would be for those who dared to attack this idea.

Sorry to keep everyone waiting, happy weekend!!!
