Green Monster Epic

Chapter 625 Leak

“Why aren't we acting according to the plan we agreed upon before? Why did you temporarily change the requirements?”

Several Matriarchs of the Drow Federation already had disagreements on the way back. Lillian, Deborah, and others stood together with unfriendly eyes, questioning Demi-God Matriarch Penny Lei about the doubts that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time.

“Hmph, you guys have no foresight, I really don’t want to bother with you!!!”

Facing the angry gazes from many eyes, Penny Lei swept around from left to right and said contemptuously.

“Haven't you discovered that the strength that the Gnoll Allen burst out when he broke my magic was far beyond our understanding of him??”

“Do you really think he used some secret technique or drank some potion??”

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, the sky in the Northern Territory is going to change drastically in the future!!”

Penny Lei seemed very casual and relaxed, but in fact, she was also very depressed. Allen's advancement not only disrupted the Drow's plan, but also the subsequent impact would definitely not be as simple as just having another Demi-God powerhouse in the Northern Territory.

The five Drow city-states each govern themselves. Although on the surface everyone has formed a Hothia Federation to deal with outsiders, in reality they are all wary of each other, constantly vigilant about other city-states extending their tentacles into their territory. Even though Penny Lei has the strength of a Demi-God, she cannot completely control the overall situation in the Federation. If the interests of other city-states are really damaged, the other Matriarchs will definitely turn against her on the spot.

When it comes to a desperate fight, each Matriarch has a trump card, and they may not be afraid of Penny Lei, the existence of a Demi-God.

But the wilderness is different. Although they seem very loose on the surface and govern themselves like the Drow, the natives are still jealous and admire the strong in their bones, and the Mansa Alliance's mechanism also provides various preferential treatments to the strong and their tribes. If someone can advance to Demi-God, then they will inevitably attract a group of wilderness tribes and form a circle of influence with great influence.

This is an indisputable fact. The existence of the four pillars of the Alliance today, and the fact that their four clans are far more prosperous than other tribes, is ironclad proof.

“Are you saying that Allen, that Gnoll, may have broken through the Demi-God bottleneck??”

Deborah, who had suspected this for a long time, hesitantly said an answer.

“Looks like not everyone is blind!!”

Penny Lei threw a flirtatious wink and nodded in agreement with the other party's guess.

“That's impossible!!”

“No way…”

Lillian, Ashley, and others looked at each other in dismay and said in surprise.

“Judging from your tone, it seems like you doubt my judgment??”

Penny Lei's pretty face sank and she looked at the others with a gloomy expression.

“…We just think that this matter is too sudden.”

“If this Gnoll hadn't broken through while fighting me, I might not have been able to judge it. Of course, I also have much more experience than you in feeling the Demi-God level.”

“Think about it yourself, if this Gnoll really breaks through the Demi-God bottleneck, what kind of changes might occur in the Northern Territory next.”

“Then why didn't you just kill this Gnoll at that time??”

Lillian was still unwilling, her eyes flashing with cold light.

“Do you think I haven't tried? You've all seen how powerful the Demi-God level spell I cast was. At that time, this Gnoll withstood more than a dozen attacks from my Doom Lightning and still survived. Among my remaining methods, there is nothing stronger than the destructive power of this Doom Lightning!!”

“Not to mention that it was on their territory at the time. If they noticed something was wrong and hid in the city, do you think our dozen or so people could really kill everyone there??”

Penny Lei retorted without hesitation.

“So, temporary concessions are necessary, at least don't make our relationship too strained. Anyway, that Troll Yareal has now sided with us, and there are ways to slowly achieve our goals.”

“But everyone should also think about it, if this Gnoll really advances to Demi-God, how should we deal with the situation when these tribes in the Northern Territory are twisted into one rope under his methods!!”

“If we continue to be so superficially harmonious but inwardly discordant, I'm afraid we won't be as comfortable as we are now when facing a united Thorns Ring force!!”

Although Allen's advancement made Penny Lei feel a bit threatened, the extremely scheming Demi-God Matriarch quickly thought of using this opportunity to try to integrate the loose system of the Federation.

“Hehe, I don't think so. Advancing to Demi-God is not something that can be done in a short time. We still have time to plan it out.”

Siya's eyes were clear and she replied with a smile.

“Indeed, it's just a Demi-God!!”

The other Matriarchs and Priestesses reacted quickly and nodded in response.

“Heh, suit yourselves.”

Penny Lei was not in a hurry. The ultimate development of things will eventually determine who is right and who is wrong. When everyone feels the pressure, they will naturally figure it out.

“It's not like there's no way to cause some trouble for this Gnoll!!”

Lillian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

“Those big shots of the wilderness tribes may not really want to see this Gnoll's advancement. If we tell them the news…”

“It seems you and I have thought of the same thing, but on the way here, I have already arranged for people to go south to spread the news. I guess they have already arrived in Mansa City by now.”

Penny Lei seemed to appreciate Lillian, but in fact, a hint of killing intent was hidden in the depths of her bright eyes. Although the other Matriarchs were not easy to deal with, this Matriarch has always been her biggest opponent. Although her strength is not as good as her own, 'that one' in her city-state is enough to offset this difference, not to mention that the other party also possesses wisdom no less than her own.

“……”

The other Matriarchs had different expressions. Anyway, everyone has always been wary of this Demi-God, so they would not be too surprised or in awe of her preemptive layout at this time.

In Mansa City, the liaison points of the four pillar tribes of the Alliance received letters from unknown people. The contents of the letters shocked the heads of these four tribes at the liaison points, and they all personally took the letters back to their tribes.

In the inner city's council district, in a magnificent castle like a temple, the lights were brightly lit, and the patrolling guards were fully armed and heavily guarded.

This is where the Honorary Presidents of the Council, who guard Mansa City, live their daily lives. A Earth Gnoll took advantage of the cover of night and hurried straight in from the wide road in front of the gate. He was stopped and checked by several teams of soldiers along the way, and was only allowed to pass after confirming his identity.

“Lord, this is a letter we found in the crack of the courtyard door this evening.”

Earth Gnoll Manager Jolin knelt tremblingly on the cold marble floor, prostrating himself and not daring to raise his head.

“Do you know who sent it?”

In the center of the spacious hall, Demi-God Marvin, who had just had his good mood disturbed, looked stern and spoke in a deep voice.

“……I don’t know.”

"Trash! Letting people sneak right up to your doorstep without anyone noticing, what good are you all!?!"

Marvin was furious. His raging voice, coupled with the sudden burst of demigod power, was like an invisible blade, directly piercing the mind and body of the Earth Goblin, Qiao Lin. Two green streaks slowly flowed down from his large nostrils, and a few drops of blood landed on the stone slab.

Qiao Lin, drenched in cold sweat from the fright, endured the trembling and dared not move, struggling to withstand the overwhelming pressure.

After venting his anger, Marvin fell into deep thought.

As fellow goblins, the rise of Allen, the Bear Goblin, and his tribe should have been a good thing for the entire goblin race. However, in Marvin's eyes, Allen's rise meant more of a threat to him and his tribe, and even a detriment to their interests.

The Yocatan tribe's reputation among the wilderness goblins was widespread, mainly due to the existence of Marvin, the demigod. The wilderness natives worshiped the strong, especially the goblins.

Ultimately, the goblins' own strength and talent limitations made their survival difficult. The three goblin branches each had their strengths and weaknesses. Bear Goblins and Earth Goblins had strong physiques, and their combat talent ranked among the top three in the wilderness tribes. However, their reproductive ability was inferior to that of Kobolds and Gnolls. The Pygmy Goblins were ingenious and good at learning. However, their physical fitness directly lowered the overall ranking of the goblin race, making them the weakest existence among the wilderness tribes. Fortunately, their fertility was strong, with multiple births being the most frequent, which was in stark contrast to the Bear Goblins and Earth Goblins.

If these races with such prominent advantages and disadvantages could be integrated into a whole, they could naturally complement each other, and their development and reproduction would be smoother. Unfortunately, although the three goblin branches shared the same ancient bloodline, differences in appearance, image, and individual strength created a clear hierarchy of contempt among them, making it difficult to achieve integration and unity.

Only goblin powerhouses who appeared like genetic mutations could unite the scattered goblin branches, forming a stable and powerful tribe, leading the goblins to stand tall in the eyes of other wilderness natives.

Marvin, the demigod, was the pride of the goblins. Among the billions of natives in the entire wilderness, there were only four native demigods, which was a glorious thing.

Because of Marvin's position in the goblins' hearts, the Yocatan tribe, even without deliberately searching for talent, had many excellent goblins who took the initiative to join, proud to be members of Marvin's tribe.

Now, the sudden appearance of another goblin demigod meant that Marvin, who was accustomed to being the focus of the goblins, would no longer be the unique existence in their eyes, and the goblins would have another object to pursue in the future.

Moreover, this newly advanced demigod would inevitably set foot in the Alliance Council and establish his own circle of influence. The four-legged alliance camp, which had already reached a balance, would experience turmoil in the future. When everything returned to balance, the Yocatan tribe would definitely be the most affected.

More than half of Yocatan's influence in the alliance came from other goblin members. The main reason they were willing to be close to the Yocatan tribe was that these goblin leaders chose Marvin for the sake of their common bloodline.

But if there was another demigod goblin to choose from, these goblin tribes might not support Marvin and his tribe as much as before.

"That damn fellow!!"

Don't look at Marvin's amiable appearance in front of Allen before. That was because he didn't think Allen could advance to demigod. At least, given Allen's current age, it was almost impossible. This made Marvin pay less attention to the newly rising Bear Goblin, reducing a lot of trouble and risk for Allen.

"Now, immediately, activate the hidden agents planted in Green Field, and let them find out Allen's movements!!"

"Yes!!"

After receiving the order, Qiao Lin was granted amnesty. He quickly got up from the ground and slipped out of the magnificent castle like a fly.

At some point, Marvin had a dagger in his hand that reflected a dark blue light in the lamplight, constantly appearing and disappearing between the fingers of his right hand. Marvin's eyes revealed a murderous intent, and he was hesitant, as if he had not completely decided on a certain idea.

The empty castle hall was frighteningly quiet. Just as the surrounding lights suddenly flickered, Marvin, the aloof Pygmy Goblin demigod assassin who was sitting high on the gorgeous and majestic chair, suddenly disappeared.

The Pale Forest, only a thousand miles away from Mansha City, held the most powerful existence among the wilderness natives - Dragon Vein Warlock Davenson, who was expressionless. The urgent secret letter in his hand turned into a flickering spark as he rubbed it between his two fingers.

Beside him was Coyus, the legendary shield warrior born in the seventh generation of his direct bloodline. Although he only had the strength of a mid-level legend, he was able to secure the position of leader of the super tribe Pale Night thanks to the legacy of his great-grandfather Davenson.

Below Davenson and Coyus were 7-8 legendary Kobolds who remained in the tribe, including the familiar face of Kozmo.

"Kozmo, tell me, what happened when you went north to find trouble with Allen, the Bear Goblin?"

Davenson's gaze turned to the legendary figures in the tribe below, and finally settled on Kozmo, whose aura was unstable.

"Lord, we..."

Hearing his name come from the mouth of Davenson, a powerful being as unfathomable as the abyss, Kozmo's face darkened. He quickly stepped out of the ranks, bowed, and recounted everything that had happened before.

"Good, so many things happened, and I still need to hear about them from outsiders. As an elder of the tribe and a party to the incident, you didn't report the matter to me. It seems that you don't take this old man seriously!!"

"I dare not!! Lord, I absolutely don't mean that. I just thought that this matter was tens of thousands of miles away from my tribe and would not have a big impact..."

"Hmph!! I see that you are too wild. In that case, I will help you calm down and go to the Black Cave for thirty years of seclusion!!!"

"Lord!!!!"

"Get out!!!!"

.........

In the distant Deep Scar Valley, the Bone City, the main city of the Black Meteor Rotbone tribe, one of the four major tribes of the alliance, was hidden deep in its basin. Briken, the demigod leader of the tribe, had a deep look in his eyes and a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth: "This wilderness is getting more and more lively!!"

In the Bogad tribe, Troll Demigod 'Eternal Night Thorn' Yalen frowned and discussed the newly received urgent secret letter with his confidants, his face serious.
