Green Monster Epic

The sharp dagger hovered near Allen's neck, and Keira cautiously tested him several times to see if he was truly dazed by the drug she had administered.

The drug was made from Datura flowers, colorless and odorless, and undetectable by magic. It couldn't be considered a poison. Moreover, it was difficult to refine, so only powerful factions possessed it. Now, Keira used it readily, indicating that her background was not as simple as she usually portrayed to the public – merely an adventurer.

Using ropes made from ironback bear tendons, strong enough to bind a powerful high-level warrior, Keira tightly bound Allen's hands and feet. To be safe, Keira even wrapped him several more times, to prevent this inherently strong fellow from breaking free.

Only then did Keira catch her breath and rest for a moment before using the same method to bind the sleeping Alba on the other side and toss him aside.

Keira was not as simple as an ordinary adventurer. Before the age of 15, she was an ordinary orphan in the Lionheart Kingdom's orphanage. Then, she was adopted and trained by the royal family, embarking on the path of espionage. After mastering her skills, she came to Mansa City with a middle-aged human male and settled down. On the surface, it was because the human kingdom had excessive taxes, so they ran to the wilderness to make a living. In reality, she was sent by the Lionheart Kingdom to the wilderness to gather various intelligence.

The human male who brought her died in an adventure a few years later, and Keira took over her adoptive father's job, starting her adventure career in Mansa City, gradually building her reputation. No one would have thought that Keira, who had almost grown up in Mansa City, was actually a spy sent by the human kingdom to Mansa City.

Once she started this profession, it lasted for more than 20 years, until the human kingdom successfully plotted against the wilderness, leading to the fall of the nature deity Sylvanas. From then on, the human kingdom directly revealed its butcher knife to the wilderness, using war to write the future diplomacy between the two sides.

After the Lionheart Kingdom annexed the territory of the Spring Country, its previous efforts had been guaranteed. Therefore, although it would also participate in the coalition's actions, it had suffered considerable losses due to the previous confrontation and fighting with the demon and devil legions, and it didn't need to participate in or invest more.

As the human nations revealed their true intentions towards the wilderness, the days of adventurers with human faces like Keira were gradually becoming less comfortable in the wilderness. They were far less popular than elven, orc, and dwarven adventurers. This couldn't be helped, because the things humans did were so despicable and hateful!

Keira's espionage career in the wilderness became difficult due to the actions of the human nations. In addition, the Lionheart Kingdom had already obtained war dividends, so it issued a recall order to Keira and other dispatched talents, asking them to return home to accept arrangements.

In any case, Keira was also a high-level peak combat professional. Although with age, she had gradually given up hope of advancing to legend, returning to the Lionheart Kingdom would still make her a promising talent. After all, the Lionheart Kingdom was in ruins and needed a large number of excellent talents to manage after occupying a large area of the Spring Country, so as to enhance the country's foundation.

Privately, the Lionheart Kingdom had to make plans for the future. The movements of the human coalition were not as simple as just the wilderness.

Just like Oscar and others understood, the human coalition's actions against the wilderness, no matter how noisy and high-profile they seemed now, it was not very realistic to swallow the wilderness in one bite.

Among these various factors, there was the fact that Keira was recalled home.

Returning home to report her duties, relying on decades of merit, Keira could at least get an official position.

In this world where gods exist, although the status of females is relatively lower than that of males, the high-level officials of the country have never discriminated against those who are truly talented, and even the church has positions for saintesses and female high priests.

With Keira's wild nature, since she was going back to her hometown, she would definitely not leave empty-handed. This time, she targeted Allen, not only because Allen accidentally said a sentence about going south to fight, which made Keira think about whether she could get useful news from Allen, but also because Allen's wealthy assets aroused her evil intentions.

Allen had also wondered why this human female, Keira, would always find various reasons to familiarize herself with him. Over time, after thinking he understood her personality, he felt that Keira was just fond of him.

But how could he know that after learning that Allen lived in the back living area of the Oak Temple, and that the leader of the Knights of the Temple, the legendary Leader Nordin, greeted him, Keira had already felt that Allen's identity was somewhat suspicious.

Later, she learned in contact that there was also a legendary druid in the Oak Church who valued Allen very much, which further strengthened Keira's confidence in taking the initiative to get close to him.

What kind of status was a legendary powerhouse? To be able to give Allen, who had just been promoted to high-level at the time, a different look, it must be because he had talents and abilities worth investing in. If such a person didn't contact him in his early years to establish a relationship, then Keira's work as a spy would be too much of a failure.

Therefore, this time Allen went south to participate in the war, even if he didn't bring his own people, Keira still believed that he would know a little bit of intelligence.

In addition, Keira had long been greedy for Allen's wealth in several cooperations with Allen. Not to mention anything else, just the pair of arm guards on Allen's arms and the gray, inseparable luggage behind him were assets that Keira had not accumulated in decades of mixing in Mansa City.

Before, she had to hide in the city and bear the task of finding out news, so it was not easy to expose her identity, so Keira concealed her greed very well. But now that she was about to return to her hometown, if she could have the opportunity to obtain useful intelligence and also get a valuable fortune, then Keira would definitely not be soft-hearted!

Don't mention morality and benevolence to Keira. A woman who has been mixing among adventurers for more than 20 years, what kind of scenes has she not experienced? How could she really be so simple! Perhaps Keira still has a little bit of beautiful feelings, but in the face of real interests, that little bit of beauty is just a little guilt in future memories.

A dimensional bag is enough for Keira to sever a little bit of friendship with Allen that is not very stable!

Pinching Allen's mouth and pouring a bottle of poison that restricts physical and mental performance into Allen's mouth, and then searching Allen's belongings while estimating the time. When she felt it was almost time, Keira poured a bucket of ice water on Allen's head, stimulating Allen to wake up from a cold war on the spot.

"Keira, you..."

Allen really didn't expect that he would be calculated by someone one day. He had been cautious for half his life, but he relaxed his vigilance towards several people he thought of as friends.

Perhaps there is no normal person who can truly maintain a high degree of vigilance in the face of anyone or anything!

Swish!!!

After Keira directly tore open a charm human scroll and threw it in front of Allen, Allen, who had taken the poison and whose spirit was weakened, immediately felt a burst of dizziness in his mind.

Swish!!

Seeing that there was still a struggle in Allen's eyes, Keira tore open a weak intelligence technique on the spot and threw it on Allen's head.

When Allen reopened his eyes, his eyes had become dull and sluggish, staring straight at Keira.

"What are your plans for going south this time?"

"Yes!"

Allen nodded blankly, but when the content reached his lips, there was another struggle in his eyes, until Keira took out another charm human scroll, which made Allen's eyes regain their dullness.

"Phew!"

Keira let out a long breath, and she was still a little uneasy in her heart. She never thought that the bear goblin in front of her was not only too strong physically, but also so tough mentally, that her several scrolls had little effect.

"After I go south this time, I will join the Centaur Danyan Khan tribe general..."

Allen finally began to slowly tell the intelligence of the Centaur Prairie. As a legendary figure, Allen's current position in Mansa City is no longer the cannon fodder warrior he used to be, and he has already been able to know the grand strategy formulated by Mansa City's defense in advance.

Of course, this was also Keira's good luck. At the beginning, she felt that the two legends of the Oak Temple were trying to win over Allen, which must be because they valued Allen's talent. And the fact is true, Allen lived up to the expectations of the two legends, and has now become a legendary powerhouse, but this legendary powerhouse capsized in the gutter, and was finally calculated by a human woman, saying it would definitely make people digest more than that.

Keira herself probably didn't expect that she would have a day to capture a legend alive, otherwise if she really knew that Allen had been promoted to legend, I'm afraid she would have stabbed Allen's heart with a knife long ago, and then fled with her spoils, instead of standing and interrogating Allen like now.

"Keira, you've gone too far. Since you want to go back to your hometown, you should go back to your hometown. Why bother making such a scene? This makes me embarrassed to let you do what you want!"

Just as Allen was about to say the key point, a faint voice suddenly sounded, startling Keira on the spot. She raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it in the direction of the voice, with a fierce expression on her face.

Puff!!

Keira was no stranger to the sluggish feeling of the dagger entering the flesh. She had been mixing among adventurers for so long, and she could easily feel that her dagger had not missed. But when Keira raised her head and stared at the object from which the voice came, her eyes were suddenly filled with astonishment, and then a sharp pain came from her wrist, and the whole person flew into the air, and slammed hard on the ground, breaking several iron wooden boards on the hard wooden boards in the room on the spot.

In recent years, Alba has been wandering in the adventurer and mercenary business with Keira. Although Keira has not relaxed her vigilance against Alba because of her identity, Alba has become synonymous with foodie and honest in Keira's eyes after countless unintentional knocks and screenings, so she is still quite relieved about him.

But Kaya never imagined that Alba, who had always seemed so simple and honest in her eyes, would reveal his true colors by dealing a heavy blow to her self-assured cautiousness.

Alba's large hands nearly crushed Kaya's right wrist as she gripped the dagger, his fat trembling with the force of his earlier movements. On the ground, Kaya spat out a mouthful of blood, weakly wedged between the shattered floorboards, head raised in disbelief at Alba's sudden outburst.

"Don't look at me like that, Kaya!"

Alba scratched his head, still putting on his usual simple act, but to Kaya, his actions were nothing but mockery and tragedy.

"I'm just doing my job, don't blame me!"

"If you hadn't staged this whole charade, trying to pry information about Mansha City from Allen, I might have let you go out of respect for our friendship over the years!"

Alba felt sorry for Kaya. Her blind luck in questioning Allen and obtaining information had even surprised him. When did Allen become privy to such important secrets?

From the very beginning, Alba's adventure was just a smokescreen. His true identity was that of an intelligence agent belonging to the City Lord's Mansion, specifically tasked with monitoring the so-called adventurers from the four major civilizations embedded in the city.

Although the wilderness natives appeared simple-minded and unsophisticated, in reality, no one was necessarily dumber than anyone else, especially when it came to a coalition force with a population of over ten million. How could there be truly foolish figures in power?

A look of sorrow and pleading gradually filled Kaya's eyes, and the plaintive, beseeching voice that came from her mouth was probably the most feminine she had ever been in Alba's presence.

"Alba, aren't you mistaken!"

"Yes, I was momentarily blinded by greed. I was thinking of going back to my hometown soon, and it just so happened that Allen, this fat sheep, came to my door, so I had a wicked thought…"

"Kaya, did you really think that my cooperation with you was just because of our friendship when I was on duty at the City Lord's Mansion?"

Alba's eyes were mocking, devoid of his previous simplicity. He was clearly an old hand at playing the fool.

Just as Alba was gloating, Kaya, who appeared to be severely injured by Alba, suddenly flicked her left hand forward, and a streak of cold light shot directly towards Alba's face. As an archer, Kaya's shooting skills were indeed not to be underestimated!

Alba narrowed his eyes slightly, tilting his head back to dodge the hidden weapon. However, the arm gripping her right wrist felt a jolt and then suddenly became weightless. Looking again, Kaya had ruthlessly cleaved her own right wrist with her left hand, and then, clutching her severed right arm, she turned to flee.

"Trying to escape??"

Kaya's decisiveness surprised Alba somewhat, but this was, after all, Mansha City, the territory of the wilderness races. He was still confident that he would not let this human spy get away.

Boom!!!

Just as the two figures burst through the wooden door of the small courtyard one after the other and stepped outside, a profound pressure suddenly surged into their hearts. The familiar aura of a Legend immediately changed the expressions on both of their faces as they struggled to break free from the Legend's pressure.

Thud!!!

"Kaya, you deserve to die!!!"

With a roar, a wooden building was completely overturned, sending countless tiles and debris flying in all directions. Countless planks and beams crashed into the surrounding courtyards, causing a commotion.

Allen's figure appeared directly in the sky, and with the support of his powerful mental strength, he quickly locked onto the slender figure that had just broken free from the Legend's pressure and was desperately fleeing into an alleyway.

Whoosh!!!

Enraged was not enough to describe Allen's mood at this moment. Apart from the frustration of being plotted against, Allen was even more heartbroken that someone he considered a friend had betrayed him, dealing a heavy blow to his already limited emotions.

Bang!!

Any obstacle that hindered Allen's pursuit was pulverized in the face of Allen's angry attack. Alba, who was about to give chase, stopped in his tracks after clearly seeing Allen's face in the air. His eyes showed a hint of surprise, as well as a bit of understanding and envy. In the end, he turned back to help Allen tidy up his luggage, lest someone else pick up the scraps.

No wonder Allen had revealed so much information after being charmed, even details that Alba wasn't very clear about. It turned out that Allen was now on a completely different level from him.

Before long, Allen's figure reappeared in Kaya's small courtyard, but in his hand was a terrified and despairing female face, none other than Kaya, who had fled earlier.

Although Allen was furious at being plotted against by Kaya, losing face, and nearly losing his life, his anger gradually subsided after directly snapping Kaya's limbs and turning her into a human pig who could not move.

At least he had to leave Kaya alive so he could properly interrogate her later and find out why she did this.

Of course, Allen was currently naked, with only a pair of shorts on his crotch. Since his equipment and dimensional bag were not on Kaya, they must have been left in the small courtyard earlier. He didn't dare delay, fearing that someone would pick them up, which would be a great loss for him.

As he landed in the courtyard, he saw Alba standing there, holding the things Allen had lost. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Thank you, Alba!"

Allen, who had recovered from the charm, was not very clear about what had happened in the house earlier. So, although he was polite to Alba, in reality, there was still some coldness and killing intent in Allen's eyes. He had no way of guessing whether the other party had conspired with Kaya in this matter.

It wasn't until Alba respectfully handed over Allen's belongings one by one that Allen's eyes gradually softened.

"Lord Allen, this Kaya is a spy sent by the Human Kingdom to our Mansha City. I have been monitoring her for the past few years."

Alba saw the alienation and cold killing intent in Allen's eyes, so naturally he wouldn't beat around the bush and slowly explained everything that had happened on the spot.

"I just didn't expect that the sleeping pills she put in the wine could bypass the identification of this ring in my hand, causing me to suffer as well, so…"

The explanation took some effort, and then their small courtyard gradually became lively. Soldiers from the Mansha City Guard, holding shiny weapons, began to smash the door loudly and rudely: "Open the door!!! Open the door quickly!!"

"Lord Allen, why don't you go inside and tidy up first, and I'll deal with the people outside."

It turned out that Alba was never that simple and honest. After carefully reminding Allen, he turned to open the door and began to deal with the soldiers outside.

Allen looked at the other party's retreating figure, feeling indescribable in his heart. Losing two friendships at once was a considerable blow to Allen, who didn't have many friends to begin with. Kaya's betrayal and Alba's now-revealed deep scheming had both caused them to lose the opportunity to continue being friends with Allen.

At the same time, this incident also made Allen feel the deep malice from the real world. Having stayed in the Green Plains for many years, he really hadn't seen guys like Kaya and Alba who hid so deeply and acted so skillfully.

Whoosh!!

The bucket of cold water that was originally prepared to deal with Allen was now returned to its original owner. Having put on everything, Allen was only somewhat mentally exhausted. Most of the toxins had been expelled from his body by his powerful physique and thick anger.

This was also the reason why Allen was able to wake up from the charm so quickly. Even without Alba's help, Allen would have been able to suppress the toxins and break free from Kaya's restraints, which were prepared according to the High-Peak level.

"Ha ah!!"

A sorrowful moan escaped from Kaya's mouth, and then Allen's cold face appeared in her painful pupils.

Kaya vaguely despaired. From the moment she discovered that Allen had been promoted to Legend, she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to return to her hometown this time.

But the desire to survive ultimately made people want to work hard, even if they knew there was no chance.

"Allen, I, I was wrong, you…"

When he saw Kaya's expression, which he had never seen before, Allen felt a little unbearable in his heart, and the last bit of anger dissipated because of her misery.

"Don't say anything. You and I both know that since we've come to this point, you have no other way out. I can only say that, for the sake of our friendship, I'll make you suffer less."

Allen's sharp eyes gradually became indifferent, and then, without listening to Kaya's pleas, he gently pinched her neck with his big hand. With a crack, the life in her eyes gradually faded away.

"Lord Allen, please spare this human spy's life so I can take her back to the City Lord's Mansion and interrogate her…"

After dismissing the guards, Alba dragged his heavy footsteps and knocked on the door. Before he even entered the house, his voice of pleading had already sounded. But after entering the house and seeing Kaya's body, her head tilted to one side and her life gradually dissipating, the words he was about to say no longer needed to be spoken.

"Here you go!"

Allen threw Kaya's body directly to Alba, and then flew out of this dilapidated small courtyard, never staying in this city again, and left south in desolation.

Alas, I originally wanted to spend tens of thousands of words on this side story, but now I can only cut it off. Who told this book to flop!!

Tears streaming down my face!!!

Pit filled!!!
