Green Monster Epic

Chapter 611 Success

"… … Uncle, how could you do this! ! !"

Tim and Bianca, along with several family heads, spent half a day on the second floor. When they came downstairs, several fully armed troll guards came forward to report the situation with sonorous and forceful steps.

Not long after Tim and Bianca started their conversation, the major families had already mobilized their forces to begin a purge and rectification of the Eastern District, which had originally been loyal to the Arier family and its leaders.

Allen also underestimated the survival wisdom and decisiveness of these old guys. He originally thought that they would at least need to persuade Tim first before taking any action. Allen was even worried that their style of doing things would be too conservative, and he was preparing to send people to stir up trouble from below.

Unexpectedly, the family heads of Bianca and the others were so decisive for the sake of their respective family interests that they controlled all the unstable factors of the troll race in a short period of time.

It wasn't until several leaders who personally led the team to handle matters returned to report the situation to Bianca and the others that Tim realized that the tribe had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"What? ? If that Arier hasn't betrayed the tribe, I will return his family's cubs to him intact when he comes back, and apologize with my head! ! But if he has betrayed us and joined the Drow, then what we are doing now is preparing for a rainy day, not giving him and the master he has joined any chance to interfere with our tribe! !"

"We haven't killed all of his family's cubs, which is already giving you an explanation for your sake! !"

Bianca raised his head and replied heroically.

"Alas! !"

Tim knew that he had no choice now, and the power to choose had been taken away by his uncle. For the sake of the family and the direct bloodline he had given birth to, Tim could only make a choice that would betray Chief Arier.

Although Maggot Eye and Allen had been staying in the Elegant Courtyard, the events that happened in the city were reported to them in detail in real time. When the Goodman family and several others took action against Arier's family, Maggot Eye and Allen knew that their carefully planned matter had no possibility of failure.

As the door of the Elegant Courtyard opened from the outside and the sound of bustling footsteps fell, Allen and Maggot Eye exchanged glances, knowing that the most important negotiation was about to begin.

"Chief Allen, Leader Maggot Eye, I'm sorry, we old guys talked to Tim about something and delayed some time! !"

Bianca walked like the wind, and it was impossible to tell that he was an old troll over a hundred years old. This may be related to his 1/4 elf bloodline, otherwise he would not have such strong energy and physique at such an old age.

Behind him were the heads of several major families, and Tim, the only legendary powerhouse in the Snow Miti tribe.

"Please sit down, please sit down! !"

Allen and Maggot Eye would definitely not show any displeasure. The other party's actions had already explained everything. What could be more gratifying than achieving their goals?

"I heard from Tim that you are planning to create some kind of joint mechanism. There are some things I don't understand, and I hope Chief Allen and you can help me clear up my doubts."

"It's just a preliminary idea. The specific regulations still need to be discussed and discussed together! !"

Allen's attitude was peaceful and his tone was very friendly. He did not put on a high-ranking appearance just because the other party was not of the same class as him.

"First of all, we are preparing to emulate the mechanism of the Joint Chamber of Commerce and establish a joint army, mainly to guard against powerful enemies such as the Drow and Elves in the north. In peacetime, everyone only needs to dispatch an elite army to patrol the hundred-mile range north of Nasir Fortress, which can both take care of the safety of the trade route and also play a defensive role."

"The command system of this army will be composed of capable leaders from our three tribes. In the event of major wars, all the armies of our three tribes will be under their leadership, so that the warriors of our three tribes can be united into one rope and form a whole."

"As for the military expenditure of this coalition army, it will be directly allocated from the taxes of our three tribes in equal proportions, and will be managed by a special military supply system."

"On this basis, our three tribes will jointly form a court council, and all matters, large and small, of the joint army and the joint chamber of commerce will be handled by the court council. At the same time, foreign affairs involving the interests of the three tribes, as well as disputes and conflicts between the three tribes, will also be handled by the court council, and the three tribes shall not handle them separately in private."

"For example, the capture of Chief Arier this time, although it seems to be an internal affair of your Snow Miti, if he joins the Drow, then he will inevitably destroy the security and defense of Nasir Fortress from within, indirectly affecting the security of my Moore Fortress, so in this kind of matter, we need everyone to fully discuss countermeasures together."

"As for the membership of the court council, based on the principle of fairness and justice, it is currently tentatively determined that each tribe will have three seats, and then the strength of each tribe will be increased or decreased according to the situation of each tribe in the future…"

"Wait a minute! !"

Just as Allen and Maggot Eye were cooperating with each other to show the general regulations of the joint mechanism one by one, when it came to the important point, a troll parent interrupted from the side, trying to maintain a calm tone, and raised his objection to the two legendary leaders.

“Isn't the seat allocation for this council a bit too low? Take our Snowme tribe, for example. We four old fellows here each represent a large family. Add to that the Snowme family, which isn't present but is actually stronger than our four families. I think our tribe should have at least five seats, right??”

The speaker, the elderly troll Rayleigh from the Collins family, glanced around at the other three troll patriarchs sitting in a row with him, hoping to gain their support.

As he expected, the other three old trolls nodded in agreement. After all, Rayleigh's words represented everyone's inner thoughts; he had simply voiced them first.

“We've only roughly set the number of seats and haven't finalized it yet. We still need to discuss it together. However, I believe the number of seats shouldn't be too high. The more there are, the slower and less efficient the decision-making process becomes, which would somewhat deviate from our initial intention of establishing the council.”

“After all, with the increasing frequency of interaction between our three tribes, conflicts and disputes that rarely occurred in the past are now increasing daily. If the efficiency is further reduced, we may not be able to handle these minor conflicts and frictions in a timely manner, and the accumulated issues will eventually affect the relationship between our three tribes…”

Everyone has their own position and interests, so it's reasonable for the patriarchs to voice their opinions. Allen exchanged a glance with Maggot Eye and didn't dwell on it, readily making concessions.

Due to the urgency of the situation, although the Snowme tribe's situation had been brought under control by Bianca, Rayleigh, and other family patriarchs, no one could be sure when Yariel would return. Therefore, after confirming and approving the plan proposed by Allen and the others, the group simply finalized the general charter of this joint mechanism in the elegant courtyard of the restaurant.

Allen and Maggot Eye naturally had no problems. Unlike the Snowme tribe's current leaderless state, their prestige and influence in their respective tribes were unchallenged. Their decisions were equivalent to the decisions of their two tribes.

Compared to the loosely organized Thorns' Ring team, the soon-to-be-established joint council mechanism would allow the three tribes of Cator Canyon to unite more closely. It would have real power in military affairs, trade, and daily management.

Having tasted the sweetness of the joint trade tax system, the other two tribes didn't have much resistance to the joint council proposed by Allen. Indeed, as Allen said, with the increasing frequency of interaction between the three tribes in recent years and the signs of integration among the lower-level people, any single tribe had certain limitations in managing and handling many matters, which exacerbated many incidents.

Now, with this joint council, at least the three tribes would have rules to follow in daily management, without worrying that others might think they were favoring their own tribesmen when handling matters, thus intensifying problems.

Yariel's capture this time triggered the three tribes' uncertainty about the future and their fear of the Drow, becoming the final fuse that allowed Allen to find an opportunity to promote this joint council mechanism. If it weren't for Yariel's incident, with Yariel's cautious and suspicious nature and his wariness of Allen, Allen might not have been able to promote this mechanism to the three tribes.

Of course, the three tribes also maintained their due independence. For example, in the management of their respective tribes, as well as the appointment and removal of tribal leaders and supervisors, the other two tribes had no right to interfere.

These powers were the fundamental interests of the leaders, patriarchs, and their followers and supporters present. As long as their cake wasn't touched, the establishment of the joint council wouldn't face much resistance.

Not everyone is as thoughtful and far-sighted as Yariel and Allen.

It was rare for the old fellows to have such vigorous energy, not only being able to persist for two or three days and nights but also being able to raise their heads and argue strongly with Allen and Maggot Eye when it came to their own interests, striving for what belonged to them.

By the time the charter and system of the joint council were roughly completed, the negotiators from the three parties had exhaustion written all over their faces and eyes. Even legendary figures like Allen and Maggot Eye were exhausted, as if they had fought a high-intensity battle with a powerful enemy.

“…According to the previous agreement, each tribe will have five council seats. The specific members will be nominated by their respective tribes through consultation. We hope everyone will submit the list to the leaders of each tribe as soon as possible, and then we three parties will meet again to confirm.”

“Also, the matter of the joint army is now the top priority. After this dispersal, each tribe must first conscript at least two thousand strong warriors to gather on the northern city wall of Nasir Fortress in order to respond to the Drow threat.”

“At the same time, our three tribes need to issue conscription orders in advance and gather at least five thousand reserve troops, ready to participate at any time depending on the specific situation in the north…”

As the negotiation was about to end, Allen had already begun to arrange the next steps. The newly built and still incomplete joint council now had three representatives: Allen, Maggot Eye, and Tim, three legendary strong leaders. According to strength and influence, Allen was also elected as the first chairman of the council. At least until the truth about the Yariel incident came to light, he would coordinate the military deployment between the three tribes and represent them in confronting and negotiating with the possible arrival of the Drow.

“Okay, we'll start conscripting warriors when we get back.”

“My side has been prepared for a long time and can pull the team out at any time!!”

Maggot Eye and Tim nodded one after another, and the skies above the two fortresses quickly filled with a tense atmosphere of war.
