Green Monster Epic

Chapter 469 The Invisible Battle

“…Lord Philemon, I hope you can support me in taking the position of chieftain of the Ajina tribe.”

“At the very least, don’t show any opposition.”

Getting straight to the point, with no irrelevant outsiders present, Allen made his intentions clear.

“Heh! ! ”

Philemon looked at Allen with a mocking expression.

“The suspicion surrounding you regarding the disappearance of High Priest Blake of my church has not been cleared, and now you’re making demands of me! ! ”

“We have definite proof that Blake was invited by Bilel to participate in your Thorns Ring council. Then, he never appeared again. Now you tell me he’s missing, do you think we’ll believe that?”

“Your Excellency, I am also very sorry and saddened about the disappearance of High Priest Blake. However, I can assure you that High Priest Blake really did not appear in our Thorns Ring meeting! ! ”

Allen would never admit to this matter, even if he was beaten to death. The first thing Allen did after coming out of the Misu was to investigate who knew about Blake's attendance, and then he silenced them all.

Only the Church of Nature's cathedral heard that two high-ranking priests might know about this matter, but as long as Allen stubbornly denied it, Philemon and the others might not really be willing to tear through this window paper.

Fortunately, Blake just happened to be visiting Bilel, and Bilel temporarily wanted to use the prestige of the Church of Nature to show his energy to other members in the Thorns Ring meeting.

After all, the Thorns Ring is an alliance between the northern wilderness tribes and has little to do with other temple forces. If anyone could freely introduce other forces into the team, wouldn't the Thorns Ring fall apart sooner or later?

Moreover, Allen also had chips in his hand to persuade the Church of Nature not to dwell on this point.

“However, I will send more people to continue searching for the whereabouts of High Priest Blake to give you an answer.”

“Humph! ! ”

Philemon didn't believe a word Allen said at this time. If he couldn't come up with any real evidence, he would really turn against Allen on the spot.

It just so happened that the Pope was also present when he received the news of Blake's disappearance. At that time, the old man told him to be careful and cautious when dealing with the Northern Territory issue, because the Nature Divine System no longer had the resources to invest more in the North.

In the south, the war between the wilderness and demons and devils, the war between the wilderness and humans, and the war between humans and orcs have lasted for decades. From the very beginning, in order to contain the most powerful human countries among the four civilizations, the Church of Nature invested most of its manpower and material resources in the south from the beginning.

The Wilderness Alliance was already very loose, and after decades of continuous blood transfusions to the south, they had long complained in their hearts. As soon as the humans temporarily ceased fighting, the members of the alliance immediately issued a strong call to no longer provide support to the orcs and centaurs in the south.

The aboriginal tribal leaders in the wilderness are short-sighted and cannot see the long-term, but the earthly messengers of the Nature Divine System cannot be so short-sighted.

The Church of Nature is still pouring a lot of resources into the Orc Empire, the Centaur Prairie, and even the forces they have supported in the human kingdom, and at the same time, they are also sending countless elite warriors south.

Although the Church of Nature has been paying attention to the north, it is difficult for them to provide substantial intervention in the continental war in the north. After all, no matter how deep the foundation of the Church of Nature is, they cannot fight on two fronts and affect the two continental wars.

Moreover, according to the judgment of the Church of Nature, the Elf Kingdom has a greater advantage over the Dwarf Kingdom, but the price of the elves' long lifespan is their extremely low birth rate. The small population is the biggest problem of their kingdom, so even if they occupy an advantage on the battlefield, they may not have enough manpower to control the occupied land.

However, the elves in the north should indeed be guarded against. Although the Church of Nature cannot spare any energy, it does not mean that they really have no plans.

Luring the Drow and the divine system of the Spider Queen Rose behind them is the Church of Nature's plan against the elves.

In any case, the relationship between the Drow and the Elves, and between the Spider Queen Rose and the Elven Guardian God Corellon, makes it basically impossible for them to reconcile. If they can win over the Drow to keep an eye on the elves in the north, even if the elves send troops to the Northern Territory, the first to fight to the death will still be the Drow and the Elves. For the wilderness and the Church of Nature, they will have more buffer time.

At the same time, the Church of Nature is also laying out and luring the wilderness tribes that have turned to them, from the initial Snowmi and Raven's Claw to the current Ajina tribe, in order to have the possibility of intervening when changes occur in the Northern Territory.

Now, Snowmi and Raven's Claw have become estranged from the church because the Church of Nature does not support them in regaining their old land and negotiating peace with the Drow. The Ajina tribe has undergone such a huge change. For the Church of Nature, their layout has already failed.

However, the threat from the north is still there. Whether it is the Drow, the more distant elves, or even the dwarves who have just been defeated, they are all forces that the Nature Divine System needs to guard against and balance.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary or there is real evidence, the Pope of the Church of Nature does not approve of their temple forces personally intervening in the secular struggles of the wilderness.

“But now, we may have to put aside the disappearance of High Priest Blake for now.”

Allen sat steadily opposite Philemon, feeling the other party's full of malice, without any worry.

“I want to discuss with you something that concerns the future situation in the northern wilderness and is also closely related to the Church of Nature. If you still talk to me in this hostile attitude, I am worried that it will affect your judgment and make wrong decisions.”

“…”

Philemon's eyes were like torches, staring straight at Allen's eyes.

Unable to detect any alarmist or false expression from Allen, Philemon took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and then said slowly with a cold face: "I want to hear what you call the situation in the Northern Territory, whether it is another lie!"

“Hehe.”

Allen smiled slightly, and then began to get to the point on his own.

“I am very sorry for the previous destruction of the negotiations between the Church of Nature and the Drow. However, after all, I have received a lot of help from Master Oscar of the Oak Church Court. Sometimes I can't help myself and can only do things that I think can repay my kindness.”

“However, I don’t know if the Church of Nature is still willing to negotiate peace with the Drow?”

Allen suddenly brought the topic to the Drow, which was completely beyond Philemon's expectation. Staring at Allen in astonishment, Philemon's mind was running rapidly, and he really couldn't guess the reason why the other party said these words.

“Humph, after you destroyed a good negotiation and killed a high priestess, do you think the Drow, with their cunning, will still be able to sit back at the negotiating table?”

Philemon naturally wouldn't reveal the secrets of the Church, only answering resentfully.

"Your words, Your Excellency, probably don't hold much credibility either. Weren't the Drow elites of the city-state where the slain Matron Maeve was located ambushed by the Allied Forces of the Wilderness Plane more than a year ago, with most of their main force buried at the hands of the Allied warriors?"

"If there wasn't assistance and cooperation from high-level Drow, I wouldn't believe things would be so coincidental, that precisely the main force of the Korinmar city-state would be annihilated. And coincidentally, right after the main force of the Korinmar city-state was wiped out, the Drow in Coldwind Ridge and Bonn City immediately annexed the clansmen and resources of the Korinmar city-state."

Although Allen's relationship with the Dark Elves wasn't exactly harmonious, thanks to the Oakleaf Temple and the Ranger Church, the Dark Elves didn't conceal information about the Drow from Allen in certain major events.

After all, Allen's Green Field Tribe is now located in the Northern Border, and although it can't be considered a frontline position, it's only separated from the front line by a desert.

Therefore, whether Allen is willing or not, he must invest enough attention in the Drow. No one can guarantee that the Drow won't suddenly have the whimsical idea of running to this barren land of the Green Field Plains!

"...Tsk tsk, I almost forgot, I heard you agreed to let that group of Drow traitors rest and recuperate in the Green Field Plains."

Philemon didn't respond directly, only casually mocking him.

"If the Church of Nature still has the idea of ​​wooing the Spider Queen Rose, then your acceptance of the Drow who invaded the wilderness would be the best way to express your goodwill."

"It's just that the Snoemi and Raven's Claw tribes are obstructing this, constantly refusing the new settlement you've chosen for them, and still remaining in front of Bonn City."

"After all, the two tribes are formal members of the Mansa Alliance, and your temple should have supported them in reclaiming their homeland. Therefore, as long as they are unwilling to leave the Northern Border, you can't use force against them."

"Plus, now that the two tribes have turned to the Oakleaf camp, it's even more difficult for you to deal with the Snoemi tribes."

"What I've said, Your Excellency, do you think it's correct?"

Allen smiled slightly and raised his head towards Philemon, but the other party's expression was calm, only a slight frown between his eyebrows.

"But if I say that I have a way to handle the Snoemi and Raven's Claw tribes, helping your Church of Nature solve the biggest problem at hand, in your opinion, Your Excellency, is it worth exchanging for your support for me to ascend to the position of chieftain of the Ajinaga Tribe?"

"Oh?"

Philemon's cold face finally showed a trace of relaxation, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"The leaders of these two tribes are not so easy to persuade!"

"How confident are you?"

"Your Excellency, don't worry about how confident I am, I just want to know whether such conditions can be exchanged for your support."

Allen said mysteriously.

The scene suddenly fell into silence. Eric, who was closing his eyes to rest, secretly narrowed his eyes at this time, glanced at the two hosts confronting each other, and then closed his eyes again, leaning back in his chair to continue resting.

Philemon thought for a long time, almost half an hour, before he raised his head again to look at Allen and said solemnly: "If you can indeed do this, then in the name of the Northern High Priest of the Church, I agree to support you in ascending to the position of chieftain of the Ajinaga Tribe."

"Remember, you must first appease the Snoemi tribes, and then I will support you in taking the position!"

Right now, anyone with eyes knows that the real mastermind behind the death of the former chieftain Bilel is definitely related to this bear goblin, Allen, and the legendary powerhouses Yarel and Maggot-Eye. If a legendary figure was so easy to assassinate, then the wilderness would have been in chaos for so many years. As long as humans and elves were determined, they could definitely organize a huge assassination team to complete assassination missions against certain tribes.

Precisely because legendary figures are not easy to assassinate, Bilel lost his life on his own territory. Then, what does that mean? Anyone with a little brain actually understands.

Plus the sudden disappearance of the legendary elder Manolankin, coincidentally during that time, Allen also appeared in Mansa City. Behind both events, there is Allen's shadow. With the energy and wisdom of the Church of Nature, it is naturally impossible to be perfunctorily deceived by Allen's clumsy methods.

Since things have reached this point, even if the Church of Nature wants to clean up the mess, it has no way to start. After all, although the wilderness tribes are attached to the Nature Temple system, they also maintain a certain degree of independence. Until now, the Nature God System has not directly interfered in the inheritance of the wilderness tribes.

Unless the Church of Nature can cultivate at least one quickly trained legendary powerhouse among the native warriors of the Ajinaga Tribe in a short period of time, perhaps it can help the Ajinaga Tribe avoid this crisis. However, even with the abilities of the Church of Nature, there is no way to cultivate a legendary powerhouse.

On the contrary, Allen is now waving the banner of Lena, his companion who comes from the Ajinaga Tribe. According to the saying in the civilized world, he is really qualified to compete for the position of chieftain. Although, among the members of the Wilderness Alliance, there have been almost no cases of foreign powerhouses replacing the clansmen of the tribe and becoming the leader of the tribe.

"But, I hope you can tell me your solution now, so that I can go back and explain it to the higher-ups of my church."

After understanding the current situation, even if Philemon still held a grudge about Blake's disappearance, he still agreed after some weighing.

"I believe in Your Excellency's credibility, that you are not a person who goes back on their word."

Allen didn't show anything on the surface, but in reality, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. He heard that the legendary priest Blake, who was personally killed by him, had an extremely good relationship with Philemon. If the other party still couldn't let go of this matter, Allen would really be in trouble.

Fortunately, the high priest in front of him is also a rational person and was not swayed by emotions. Allen finally breathed a sigh of relief when the other party nodded in agreement.

"My solution is..."

This chapter is indeed a bit watery, I myself don't know how it came out, hahaha!!!

However, with the protagonist's current status, the situation of personally fighting and killing will probably gradually decrease. In the future, there will be more intrigue and scheming.

Did you all think before that the protagonist would still develop normally? Have you ever thought about this scene?

Anyway, in order to pave the way for the annexation of the Ajinaga Tribe, I have been designing it since the previous volumes. Shouldn't you give some votes to support it?

From the change of camp to the situation in the wilderness, in order to make the annexation relatively logical, I have racked my brains, and even re-updated it, there are even factors because I can't bear to part with this foreshadowing!!
