Green Monster Epic
#352 - The Mastermind
Flower Snake was able to walk on the ground, and there was a bit more luster in his eyes, which reassured Alan a lot.
“I didn’t want to speak to you frankly before because there were outsiders present.”
Alan helped Flower Snake to sit down slowly. This wooden building was where Alan was temporarily residing. His stone fort was currently being hastily repaired by Black Head and his men.
“In the future, you will still be in charge of the village's affairs. I won’t interfere. Anyway, you’ve been doing a good job.”
“However, there are a few things I need to remind you of…”
Alan's continued trust made Flower Snake feel very gratified. Nothing was more fulfilling than having his hard work recognized.
However, during these days of recuperation, Flower Snake himself had other ideas, and he suddenly interrupted Alan's speech.
“Alan, listen to me!!”
The light of determination in Flower Snake’s eyes made Alan unconsciously stop speaking and quietly look at the other's face, as if he was seeing the young partner from over a decade ago.
“I’ve decided that after my injuries heal, I’m going to travel!!”
As the first goblin to travel out of the village in those years, and who returned as an advanced Sword Dancer, when it comes to the spirit of adventure and self-improvement, even now, probably no one in the tribe is more courageous than Flower Snake.
It was only the needs of the tribe and Alan's requests in these years that made Flower Snake have less pursuit of himself and more dedication to the tribe.
But after this incident, seeing that the goal he was pursuing had once again left him far behind, the strong fighting spirit and competitive spirit in Flower Snake’s heart rose again: You, Alan, entered the Legendary realm after one trip, then I, Flower Snake, won’t be much worse!
As for the pursuit of power that he had developed in these years while holding a high position, in Flower Snake’s eyes now, it was so ridiculous and naive.
The Legendary realm, once thought to be out of reach, was broken in Flower Snake’s heart by the advancement of Alan, his most familiar partner. Perhaps one day he could be like Alan and become one of the few strong people in this world.
In terms of self-confidence, Flower Snake has never been weaker than others. Back then, without any inheritance, he was able to gradually improve his Sword Dancer level to high-level, and now he has touched the bottleneck of the high-level peak, so why shouldn’t he work harder and strive to get himself to a higher and stronger stage?
“But… everyone in the tribe needs you!!’
In fact, when Alan saw the long-lost look in Flower Snake's eyes, he already understood his determination, but for the sake of the tribe and Flower Snake, Alan couldn't help but want to persuade him.
“Alan, give me ten years. Whether I succeed or not in ten years, I will return to our village and continue to help you! But within ten years, let me go out and venture out…”
Flower Snake's attitude was firm and Alan couldn't shake it. Thinking about the contributions Flower Snake had made over the years, Alan suddenly felt that he had no reason to keep him any longer.
“…Okay, then I respect your decision.”
“But, remember one thing, whenever you feel tired, come back to the village to rest. This is our eternal home!!”
“Do you even need to say that? I’m just going out to travel, not going far away! My little cubs are all in the village, where can I run to!!”
“That’s true!!”
Suddenly, the feelings between Alan and Flower Snake seemed to return to the way they were more than a decade ago. There was no longer the previous estrangement, and they talked without much scruples. They both expressed their opinions on the village, including the arrangements for Pava奥 and Mauro, including the importance of the gnomes, and so on.
When power was no longer the goal pursued by Flower Snake, the little bit of malice in his heart no longer seemed important. Of course, the former Flower Snake had no concept of power at all. It was just that now he had experienced a great disaster, he had reopened and found himself again.
“But is this Legendary who suddenly appeared just passing by, or is he eyeing us?”
As they talked, the two of them talked about the instigator of this tribal crisis, and they suddenly became a little silent.
“No matter where he comes from, at least in the short term, he has no chance to cause trouble for our tribe!”
When Alan thought of this Legendary enemy, there was a bit more murderous aura in his eyes. The death of more than two hundred tribesmen was undoubtedly a heavy loss for a tribe with a population of just over a thousand. It was only natural that Alan hated him to the core.
“But I always have a feeling that this guy is definitely not just passing by. It seems like he targeted our tribe from the beginning and wanted to kill our tribesmen.”
“If that’s what you say, who has such a big hatred with our tribe and can afford to hire a Legendary to take action?”
“Yes, this is what I’m struggling with.”
Just as Alan and Flower Snake were discussing the unknown powerhouse, on the eastern edge of the Cato Mountains, a figure in a sorry state was hiding and flying rapidly in the air. In front of him, a broad and prosperous town was slowly approaching, which was the destination of his trip.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination town, the figure suddenly stopped, looked down in the air, found a quiet and hidden cave, and went straight down.
The figure stood on the ground of the dark cave. At this time, he slowly uncovered the bronze mask that covered his original face. Muscles and bones slowly wriggled. In the dim light, a face that Alan was not unfamiliar with quietly appeared.
“Hiss!!!!”
While tidying up his tattered equipment and cleaning the blood and wounds on his body, Talib grinned, with a fierce light in his eyes, which was particularly hideous in the dim environment.
No matter how Alan imagined it, he couldn't imagine that the Legendary powerhouse who attacked their tribe a few days ago was actually Talib Snowme, who praised Alan and was quite amiable in Mansa City.
A few months ago, Talib helped Alan and the others write a letter of recommendation, so that the name of the Greenwood Tribe was registered on the list of unofficial members of Mansa City. A few months later, Talib concealed his appearance and did the cruel thing of attacking the Greenwood Tribe.
After cleaning up and changing into a new set of equipment, Talib rose into the sky again. This time, he did not hide his whereabouts any more, and landed in Boone City, the main settlement of the Snowme tribe.
As the Third Elder of the clan, Talib could meet with the clan chief and city lord Yariel at any time without any report or waiting.
“Why are you in such a mess? Could it be that your matter has been exposed this time?”
Ariel was not just the chieftain of the tribe; he was also the strongest warrior in the tribe, a legendary mid-level war warrior. He easily noticed that Taribo's aura was unstable and his heartbeat was somewhat weak.
“Don't even mention it. The leader of the Green Field Tribe has already advanced to the Legendary realm!!”
Taribo didn't need to hide anything in front of Ariel. After letting out a long breath, he said dejectedly.
“Didn't you say that when you first met him, he hadn't found the path to becoming a Legend? How is it that he's already stepped into the Legendary realm after only a year or two?”
Ariel was somewhat surprised, and also a little regretful.
“How would I have known this would happen? Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!!”
Taribo was indignant. In order to conceal his identity, his attire and the weapons he used were not his forte. This was also an important reason why Allen had been able to chase after Taribo and attack him. Although Allen's sneak attack at the time did indeed cause a significant loss to Taribo's combat power.
“In that case, our plan needs to be changed. Did you expose your identity?”
Ariel's expression paused, becoming serious.
“You can rest assured, Chieftain. I believe that hobgoblin definitely didn't notice my identity.”
Taribo quickly patted his chest, making a guarantee.
“That's good. After this storm passes, find an excuse to send someone to their tribe to build a relationship.”
Ariel finally relaxed. If Taribo had hesitated in the slightest, or said anything that suggested he might have been exposed, then Ariel would have personally gone to the Green Field Plains to uproot this newly affiliated goblin tribe, including Allen, this newly advanced Legend.
“Remember, don't let anything slip!!”
“I understand that.”
Taribo nodded slowly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with switching back and forth between hostility and goodwill.
As long as it was beneficial to the tribe, even the most despicable things could be accepted.
Allen never imagined that it was because he had performed too well on the grasslands that Taribo, this Legend, and the powerful Snow-Mane Tribe would resort to such despicable behavior.
For a wilderness tribe, what is the most important resource? Probably most far-sighted tribal leaders would say the same word in unison: talent. Especially the kind of genius who has a very high probability of breaking through the Legendary bottleneck, which is an important resource that all tribes dream of luring.
A Legend has a lifespan of at least 200 years, and each advancement in rank adds about 100 years to their life. This means that as long as you can cultivate and subdue a Legend, it can bring at least 200 years of security to the tribe. Even a tribe as strong as the Snow-Mane Tribe, with 3 Legends sitting in power, still cannot escape the cultivation of new geniuses.
Every additional Legend means that the Snow-Mane Tribe can move one step further in the ranking in Mansa City, gaining more benefits and say.
Allen was too outstanding. In the grasslands, he had never failed in one-on-one battles against demon powerhouses of the same level. All of this was seen by Fischer. The repeated tests of Allen were actually a deeper observation and understanding of Allen by the Snow-Mane Tribe behind Fischer.
It wasn't until Allen, as a Berserker, passed through the layers of dangerous Spring Country's Fallen Land and successfully completed the support mission that Fischer didn't originally have high hopes for. You must know that of the more than 20 members sent by the Huerthan front line at the beginning, only 7 people finally returned to the front line to report to General Ahmad, of which, apart from Allen, the other 6 were shadow energy talents.
Fischer recorded all of this in his notes, and after returning to Mansa City, he reported it directly to the top, which was finally passed on to Taribo.
Taribo's initial impression of Allen was only that he had good cooking skills and that the dishes he made were indeed good. As for Allen's peak level 15 strength at the time, Taribo didn't really care. Although Allen was able to invite Oscar from the Oak Temple to be a lobbyist, which surprised him a little.
Looking at the Snow-Mane Tribe, there are more than a thousand high-level powerhouses, and there are more than 200 warriors who have reached the peak of level 15. What's so great about a tribal leader from a barren land who has managed to advance to the peak of level 15 by luck?
However, after carefully reading the note report from Fischer and thinking about Oscar's friendship with Allen, Taribo could roughly guess the hobgoblin's talent and strength.
What is the best and fastest way to win over a tribal leader?
That is to create a powerful and almost invincible enemy for the other party, while weakening the other party's tribe as much as possible, forcing the other party to send out a signal for help to other forces. When a Legendary powerhouse suddenly attacks the Green Field Tribe for no reason, according to the plan discussed by Taribo and Ariel, Allen, the tribe that had just leaned towards their Snow-Mane Tribe, would eventually have only a small half of its tribesmen left. At the same time, Allen would be seriously injured but not killed, and their tribal territory would also be completely destroyed.
Leaving a small half of the tribesmen is to make Allen, the hobgoblin, have some concerns and bonds in his heart. As long as he still cares about his tribesmen, then he will not leave this land alone. Seriously injure Allen, and then find an excuse to contact him during this period. The Snow-Mane Tribe can take the opportunity to show goodwill and win him over. Even if Allen does not join the Snow-Mane Tribe for a while, he can gain enough goodwill.
Various dramas have been staged countless times in the Snow-Mane Tribe's thousands of years of history. Although the so-called geniuses who were finally won over by them basically remained at the peak of the high level until they died, as long as there is one more hope than others, it is worth the tribe setting a trap to win over the other party.
Legendary advancement is really too difficult, but its destructive power is too strong. The entire wilderness, with countless tribes combined, has no more than 300 Legendary powerhouses at most.
Therefore, just to have the opportunity to bring Allen, the so-called genius, into the Snow-Mane Tribe's camp, Taribo did not hesitate to personally attack Allen's tribe, and then there was the scene a few days ago.
It's a pity that man's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. No one thought that Allen, the hobgoblin, would break through and advance so quickly, without giving Taribo and the others time to react.
After becoming a Legend, if they wanted to attack Allen's tribe again, then what the Snow-Mane Tribe would gain and pay would be completely disproportionate.
Rather than being noticed by the other party, their identity and plan exposed, and finally bringing a powerful enemy to the Snow-Mane Tribe, it would be more in line with the Snow-Mane Tribe's interests to continue to pretend to be friendly.
