Green Monster Epic

Allen's indifference stood in stark contrast to the face of High Priest Philémon of the Church of Nature on the other side.

Holding a scepter in one hand and a codex in the other, Philémon glared at Allen menacingly, questioning him with righteous indignation.

“How dare you offend the majesty of my temple, Allen…”

Before Philémon could finish his questioning, Allen's eyes darted towards a corner of the garden, and the invisible flames that had been gradually dissipating around him suddenly burst into life again.

“I thought you had run away!!!”

As he lunged forward, Allen let out an excited shout.

Facing him, the Drow priestess Aishalilly, who had just slowly walked out of the garden, had a stern look in her eyes. She had replaced her weapon with a complete long whip, which, as Allen approached, transformed directly into a giant net, covering the route Allen was taking.

Allen tapped his feet a few times, using the Misty Steps technique to its fullest. His figure suddenly split into three directions, creating three illusory figures as he continued to advance.

“As guests, you should abide by the rules of guests!!”

“You came to show us goodwill, yet you can't stay put and dare to interfere in the internal affairs of my Ajinaga tribe. You black-skinned people can never change your inferior nature no matter where you go!!”

“Then how can you make us believe that the ceasefire agreement you speak of can be implemented by you??”

Allen's every move was bold and unrestrained. The surviving plants in the entire garden were swaying precariously in the violent storm, struggling to survive. While fighting, Allen even had the leisure to loudly taunt his opponent, but these words, seemingly directed at the Drow, were actually meant for the High Priest of the Church of Nature behind him, to make him understand the private agreement between them.

“Hmph!!”

Aishalilly's leather whip was like a tough viper. Although facing Allen's powerful and unmatched offensive, she could always use softness to overcome strength, using clever and flexible arcs and entanglements to dissolve the fierce energy on the Bone Cleaver sword.

Occasionally, Aishalilly could also use incantations to cast dark divine spells, either to strengthen herself or to slow down Allen, so that the battle would not tilt too much towards Allen, allowing her to last longer.

However, Allen's own formidable strength brought heavy pressure to Aishalilly, making it difficult for her to retort when facing his incessant mockery.

“Enough!!!”

Dong!!!

A heavy one-handed warhammer smashed onto the ground, and a crack spread rapidly along the place where the warhammer landed, towards the place where Allen and Aishalilly were fighting.

Nodin's face was as gloomy as if a storm was about to break out. With his hammer strike, Allen had no choice but to split the ground with his sword, directly knocking Aishalilly back several meters, then sheathing the Bone Cleaver on his back and flashing back to the crowd.

After all, he never intended to antagonize the Oakleaf Theocracy, and would be in the Oakleaf camp for a long time to come. Therefore, when Nodin, the leader of the Oakleaf Theocracy in the Muir Fortress, spoke, Allen had to give him the respect he deserved.

“I apologize, Commander Nodin, forgive my rudeness!”

Allen put on a sincere and friendly face again, completely devoid of the previous madness and arrogance.

“And Master Oscar, I sincerely respect you, and I am grateful for your care and guidance all along. Please forgive my offense and unreasonableness as a tribal chief to you.”

“However, you must not doubt my devout faith in the Father of Oak, and my loyalty to the Theocracy!!”

The sudden change of emotions freely shifted on Allen's body, stunning the surrounding envoys and leaders, and giving them a deeper understanding of the wild chief in front of them. However, because of Allen's reversal-like actions, Nodin's expression gradually relaxed.

Nodin's mind was very clear. For him, who valued the interests of the Theocracy above all else, Allen, who had just taken the position of chief of the Ajinaga tribe, was extremely important to the Theocracy's position in the Northern Territory.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had already made up his mind to support Allen as the next chief of the Ajinaga tribe, even if there had been changes in the tribe before, and high-level earth spirits had come to him to complain, he had never wavered.

Until Allen suddenly attacked Oscar, that decisiveness and ruthlessness made Nodin feel the ambition and danger of the bear goblin in front of him.

Perhaps when the other party's wings were full and they no longer needed the support of the Oakleaf Theocracy, or if other forces, such as the Church of Nature, gave him better conditions, this bear goblin would not hesitate to abandon the Oakleaf Theocracy and turn to other forces.

However, when Allen lowered his head again at this time, showing a respectful and obedient attitude in front of him, Nodin could not help but put away the dissatisfaction on his face.

No matter what, Allen at this time was extremely important to the Theocracy, and Allen had always been very close to the Theocracy, so Nodin would not really turn against Allen for this matter.

“Hmph, is your loyalty to attack with weapons the mentor who cultivated you as a junior? The Father's earthly messenger in Mansa?”

Although he did not intend to embarrass Allen, the necessary reprimand was still necessary, otherwise where would the prestige of the Theocracy be?

“…I will not defend what I have done, Commander Nodin, I am willing to accept any punishment!”

Allen's attitude of letting him handle it made Nodin very satisfied.

“I hope you can give me some time, and after I settle the tribe, I will personally go to the main cathedral in Mansa City to accept the punishment of the church!!”

“Hmph!!!”

Nodin gained face, and the prestige of the Theocracy was not shaken. Naturally, his attitude towards Allen also changed.

On the other side, Oscar, as the person involved, looked at Allen at this time with the eyes of a stranger, which made Allen feel a bit gloomy. Oscar did not make any comments on Allen's injury to him, as if that slash had cut off his last bit of friendship with Allen, and from then on he would be strangers with Allen.

Philémon hesitated to speak. Allen's performance in front of Nodin was completely different from his performance in front of him, which was naturally annoying. But thinking about the words Allen had just taunted the dark priestess with, Philémon felt a bit hesitant.

His layout in the Northern Territory had been repeatedly frustrated. If he could not do something again, then his position as the High Priest of the North would probably be given to others. Therefore, Philémon was very concerned about the reconciliation between the Drow and the Thorns of the largest force in the Northern Territory, otherwise he would not have sent someone to notify the Drow to seize the opportunity of Allen's dinner for inheriting the tribal chief to send envoys to congratulate him and propose a ceasefire.

It was a pity that Philémon still underestimated the chaotic nature of the Drow. At this time, they dared to intervene, completely ignoring Allen, the new chief of the Ajinaga tribe.

Because of Aishalilly's intervention, it was very likely that Allen and his two allies would take this opportunity to overturn the contract previously signed with Philémon.

If he showed too much hostility at this time and continued to pursue Allen's attack on the temple's envoy, then the situation would be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Philémon was unwilling to be too tough. Anyway, Oscar and the others, as the protagonists who were attacked, did not seem to want to pursue the matter anymore, so why should he come forward!!
