Green Monster Epic

Chapter 450: Consolation

Riptide Bay rarely welcomed its master. Since occupying and re-cultivating the land around Riptide Bay, Allen rarely visited.

After all, something that angered Allen had happened here. To this day, he could still recall the old dog, Bonesnapper, mockingly watching him devour the flesh of his fellow goblin bears.

However, now returning from the Tangan Desert, he had to pass through Riptide Bay. As Allen overlooked Riptide Bay from the sky, the remnants of the dilapidated kobold settlement had been transformed into sturdy buildings constructed of green stone and blue tiles.

The dilapidated half-mountain not far from the town, originally thought to have exhausted its mineral veins, revealed a new vein of pyrite with an unknown reserve, discovered in the rock layer a dozen meters below the original vein after Manduri and his group of gray dwarves carefully examined it.

Because of this vein, the black smoke that had drifted over Riptide Bay for countless years had begun to rise again. However, compared to the scale of the Bonesnapper tribe, the resources and manpower invested by the Green Field tribe were not significant.

The town's layout was almost identical to Green Lake Town, with trading areas, living areas, production areas, and residences for slaves and servants scattered throughout the town, along with various complete living facilities. With the mine reopening, the large stones extracted along with the ore became the preferred material for the town's residents to construct various buildings, including a sizable wall surrounding the town.

The number of goblins officially settled in Riptide Bay was only about a thousand, plus a group of slaves mining ore and servants taken in, totaling only two thousand. This size of settlement, placed on the Green Field Plains, even exceeded the number of vassal tribes like Ivan left behind by the Green Field tribe. However, after all, it was somewhat far from Green Lake, and if something unexpected were to happen on the two or three hundred li journey, even Allen, a legend, would waste some time.

Therefore, to ensure the safety of his people in Riptide Bay for farming and mining, Allen was willing to spend more effort on defensive works, so that if something really happened, it could help the people buy more time and reduce losses.

"How about it? Our little village is doing pretty well, right?"

Allen was very proud. He put his arm around Eric's shoulder and stood on the high ground of the dilapidated mine outside the village, saying proudly.

"Yes, it's really good."

Eric nodded. In fact, during his decades of settling in Green Lake Town, he hadn't always been in seclusion. He had traveled all over the surrounding areas and was no stranger to the situation in Riptide Bay. He only went along with Allen's intentions and continued the conversation because he saw Allen's mood improving.

Of course, these goblins in the wilderness did indeed have their merits in some areas, such as the public toilets they built around the residential area according to population density, which not only improved the living environment of the residential area and reduced the source of the rancid smell, but also used the excrement for food cultivation outside the town.

Even in the Green Field tribe, there were sanitation workers who specialized in cleaning the streets, sweeping up the garbage that fell on the streets twice a day.

These measures were not even implemented by any country in the human kingdom, which considered itself a civilized world. This simply broke through the inherent image of goblins in the minds of Eric and others. If Eric and others hadn't lived in Green Lake Town for decades, they would have thought they were a group of humans wearing goblin skins!

Eric naturally didn't know that the layouts in Green Lake Town that surprised him all came from Allen's countless dreams, that seemingly magical world.

Although Allen still couldn't hear or feel any sound from his dreams, and still didn't understand those square or crooked characters, he could still understand the general functions of many basic jobs.

"When the number of people increases in the future, more people can be settled here. I plan to tear down half of the mountain under our feet directly after this vein is mined…"

"Also, all the buildings in the village are too monotonous. I have to talk to Shi Sheng when I get back and tell them to plant more flowers and plants in the town and village so that it looks better…"

Speaking of town construction, Allen became more talkative, standing tall and pointing out the scenery. His confidence and demeanor were even stronger than his momentum in battle.

"…Allen, how are you going to deal with what happened before?"

After Allen's mood gradually calmed down, Eric couldn't hold back and brought the topic back to reality.

Eric and his 'Tanding Society' had long taken root in the Green Field tribe. In addition to their original hundred or so companions, they had also developed more than 300 goblin companions. Therefore, Eric naturally had to care about the plight of the Green Field tribe.

"What do you think?"

Allen turned his head, answering with a question, with no anger in his eyes.

"Actually, I think…"

Eric hesitated. After all, this land now belonged to Allen's tribe. As a member who joined later, he was somewhat abrupt to give advice at this time.

"It's okay, just tell me what you think. Whether I accept it or not is my business."

Allen saw Eric's hesitation and comforted him with a smile: "You know my personality, I never think that my ideas are necessarily correct. I usually discuss important issues with the children in the tribe."

"Now you are also a member of my Green Lake Town, you can't just ignore what happens on the plains like before!"

Hearing the implication in Allen's words, Eric's face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose.

Indeed, from the time their group of humans migrated and settled in Green Lake Town, they obtained the right to develop followers in the town. Then, Eric made his position clear, willing to help Alan promote their tribe's joining the Mansa Alliance as a member of the Green Field Tribe.

In the decades since joining the Green Field Tribe, Eric's presence in the tribe has been very subtle, as if he were invisible, making it difficult to feel his existence. In the past, Alan naturally wanted him to be invisible, which would serve as a safeguard for the tribe's security, concealing the tribe's strength. At the same time, he wouldn't have to be wary of Eric due to his excessive involvement in town management.

But now it's different. Since Eric has already made his choice, willing to become a member of the Green Field Tribe, and has publicly declared his existence, whether out of respect for his strength as a legendary powerhouse or to win him over and appease him, Alan believes it's necessary to involve Eric in important matters of the tribe and Green Lake Town.

In the future, Alan will also publicize Eric's identity, assigning him a prominent high position in the management of the tribe and Green Lake Town, giving him the treatment a powerhouse deserves, but without allowing him to wield too much real power.

"Then I'll speak my mind!"

Eric smiled slightly, took a breath, and slowly expressed his opinion.

"Actually, I think you should have accepted the Drow's conditions at the time."

"Oh?"

Alan's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

"What's the reason?"

"It's actually very simple. Based on the number of those rebellious Drow, it's impossible for them to pose much of a threat to our tribe!"

"Excluding the children and wounded elderly in their group, the number of Drow warriors who can fight in Ted's group is, at most, no more than three thousand. And look at our Green Field Tribe, our population alone is 5-6 times that of theirs. Even though there are many weak goblin warriors, the number of warriors who can go to the battlefield is definitely several times that of the Drow."

"Even if we agreed to the Drow's request to rest in the plains for a while, as long as they're not fools, those Drow will understand that if they dare to violate the agreement, even if the people from the Rangers Church and the Oak Temple don't bother them, our warriors alone would be enough to wipe them out!"

"At least we could drive them out of the plains! !"

"This time, you suddenly launched an attack and didn't agree to help the Drow, the consequence is that you originally could have taken the opportunity to maintain a good relationship with the Drow, but now it seems it will be difficult: after all, the leaders of this group of Drow are also two legendary powerhouses. If you only count the number of professionals above the advanced level, their thousands-strong team is only slightly weaker than our tribe."

"If we can lend a helping hand when this Drow team needs help, then in the future, they may become our allies in the wilderness."

"Moreover, because of your actions, you have also angered the demigod Kirill of the Rangers Church. His position in the Rangers Church is not low. If he causes us trouble at some critical moment in the future, the price to pay will be immeasurable..."

"..."

It could be seen that Eric's suggestions were all considered from the perspective of the Green Field Tribe's interests, and they made a lot of sense, so Alan couldn't help but nod.

"Do you think what I said is correct?"

Eric didn't really want to participate too much in the affairs of these bear goblins. It would be better for him to go down and develop a few companions who agreed with their ideas!

It's just that, looking at Alan's attitude, and the development of the Tandin Society in Green Lake Town, many times it's really involuntary, leaving Eric with no choice.

For example, Alan's sudden conflict with the Drow and Kirill this time may create two powerful enemies for the Green Field Tribe.

Although the number of Drow is not large, and their fertility is not strong, they are still a race with strong talents and a long lifespan. Who can guarantee that this group of Drow, who are said to be very vindictive, will not resent the Green Field Tribe because of this incident.

As a demigod, Kirill's powerful influence alone is enough to put Alan, this bear goblin, under pressure, not to mention that there is a Rangers Church behind him!

The Tandin Society has integrated into the Green Field Tribe and has become accustomed to the peaceful life in Green Lake Town. After losing their homeland once, Eric does not want this peaceful new home to be destroyed in the end.

Therefore, from a rational point of view, Eric felt that Alan's previous actions were indeed a bit impulsive.

Fortunately, this matter is not without room for recovery. Ted and his group of Drow want to go south, and the Green Field Plains are their only way to pass. As long as Alan can be persuaded, and someone is found to contact Kirill and Ted, agreeing to let them rest in the Green Field Plains, then all the problems will be solved.

"Well, what you said is right!"

Alan's eyes were deep, and he nodded slowly.

"Then why don't we wait for Ted and the others to pass by the Green Field Plains, and we send someone to tell them that we agree to their previous request!"

Eric said happily.

"No!"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Alan's mouth: "Why should I take the initiative to show goodwill to them?"

"It's not like I need help. I think if they really need help urgently, they won't give up because of our one refusal, and I have to see their sincerity! !"

"You..."

Seeing the expression on Alan's face, Eric was a little dazed, and then his heart was a little shaken, and he couldn't speak.
