Green Monster Epic

艾伦's return to the tribe was uneventful. Even with the thousand or so hobgoblins and ogre-magi who came with him, before they even reached the majestic fortress of Nur, goblin patrols were already there to receive these reluctant new goblin arrivals.

As for where these goblins would ultimately be settled, Allen didn't need to worry; naturally, someone would take care of it for him.

Upon returning to the tribe, Allen needed to start preparing to study the Two-Weapon Fighting legendary feat, which was his top priority.

Before officially secluding himself to begin studying Two-Weapon Fighting, Allen had to understand the major events that had occurred in the tribe's two important towns. He also summoned Svara, the hobgoblin who had become somewhat arrogant and self-indulgent after advancing to legend, and gave him a thorough dressing down.

If this guy hadn't devoted so much of his energy to enjoying and consolidating secular power, he wouldn't have been so easily assassinated, nearly losing his life. However, this could be considered a blessing in disguise. After personally experiencing the aura of death, Svara finally understood that even though he had advanced to legend, his strength was only at the bottom of the legendary ranks. If he wanted to enjoy the pleasures of power and status, he first had to stay alive.

Stimulated by this assassination attempt, Svara was finally able to calm down and focus on training and learning in Green Lake Town, just like he had done in his early years to improve his strength.

Cole, on the other hand, surprised Allen. Even without Allen's prompting, she would proactively train herself because her goal was her most beloved teacher, Allen!!

After delaying for a few more days, Allen personally went to Nasir Fortress and sat down with the leaders of the Maggot Eye and Tim tribes to discuss the construction of a magic tower and the establishment of a magic academy by the Council of Truth in Nasir Fortress.

Initially, these two leaders were somewhat reluctant, as the establishment of a magic tower and magic academy by the Council of Truth would mean that a team sent by the Council of Truth would establish a foothold in the territories of the two tribes, dividing a portion of the land that originally belonged to them.

Moreover, the construction of the magic tower and magic academy in the future would require a certain investment of resources. At the same time, to ensure its long-term normal operation, Allen also planned to discuss with Maggot Eye and others to allocate a portion of the tax revenue from the two fortresses to the humans to maintain the daily expenses of the magic academy and magic tower.

Although the tax revenue and trade income of the three tribes in the two fortresses had been increasing year by year, it didn't mean that they were willing to give up even a tiny bit of profit to human organizations they didn't know.

However, Allen also expressed his own thoughts, believing that the addition of this branch of mages with a formal system from the Council of Truth would bring more advantages than disadvantages.

Firstly, the wilderness indeed lacked a complete magic teaching system. If this human mage team could, as Abel and others had said, impart magic to the three tribes' spellcasting talents without reservation, then in the future, the three tribes might be able to master relatively professional and complete mage inheritance education through these students.

Secondly, the two fortresses in the Cartol Mountains could be considered the front line of the northern wilderness. Although the Pale Night had relocated the Kozmer branch to Thunder Town in recent years, Thunder Town lacked both strategically important passes and sufficient tribal strength. If the Elven Kingdom or the Drow were to launch an attack southward, the Thunder Tribe would have no resistance at all.

The strength of the Thorns Ring organization was certainly good, and it might be able to contend with the Drow Federation, but Allen was not confident in confronting a united kingdom army if the Elven Kingdom were to attack southward.

After seeing the preparations of the humans during this trip south, Allen felt an even stronger sense of crisis. Since the humans were already preparing for war, Allen believed that the elves, with their more sensitive ears and eyes and more profound vision, would not let the humans take all the credit and would definitely take action as well.

The addition of professional human mages and the construction of a magic tower in Nasir Fortress would greatly enhance the defense of Nasir Fortress, and it would also add a group of fighters. Why not do it!!

At least in Allen's view, there was nothing wrong with having more strength. Rather than pinning his hopes on the Mansha Alliance, Allen felt more at ease with self-improvement.

… … … …

“… … Moreover, I think it is necessary to give the human mages a seat on the tribal council, allowing them to participate in the management and affairs of our alliance, so that they can integrate into our midst more quickly.”

“With this group of humans as a buffer, coupled with the separation of our Green Field Tribe, friction and conflicts between your two tribes will be less likely to occur!!”

Now Allen's suggestions carry great weight for the various tribes in the Northern Territory, who made him a demigod now!

However, when facing the leaders of the gnolls and trolls such as Maggot Eye and Tim, Allen still did not put on the airs of a so-called demigod. He was still the calm, wise, and fair hobgoblin he had always been, which inevitably made the high-level members of the two tribes feel gratified, and their resistance was gradually softened by Allen's persuasion.

“Since you've said so, then I have no objection, but I'll state in advance that if they dare to reach into my tribe's territory, then I won't be polite!!”

Maggot Eye participated in this tribal council meeting with Bobier, along with the heads of several other families in the tribe. Although two gnoll family heads looked somewhat hesitant, the others still expressed their support for Allen with gloomy faces.

“That's for sure. Independent tribal internal affairs management is the foundation of the alliance that we established from the beginning!!”

Allen nodded, once again emphasizing the point that the other two tribes cared about most when the three tribes established the tribal council.

“If their magic academy is established, can our tribe's talented children be admitted without examination and receive education from the academy?”

Tim was also gradually taking on the appearance of a leader, knowing how to strive for the greatest benefits for his tribe.

“As long as the outstanding children of our three tribes want to embark on the path of spellcasters, they can all go to the magic academy to study. I have already negotiated this with the people from the Council of Truth from the beginning.”

“And there is also good news. Among the team sent by the Council of Truth this time, there is also relevant inheritance knowledge about the cultivation methods of the knight profession.”

Allen turned his head and responded to Tim's question.

“That's good!”

Hearing Allen's affirmative answer, not only was Tim's face relaxed, but even the faces of the other tribal council representatives present showed a few smiles, obviously very satisfied with this gain.

"However, there's something I need to disclose to everyone. During my trip south to participate in the Alliance Conference, I also took a detour to the human territories, gaining a deeper understanding of that powerful civilization in the south."

"It's likely that before long, those restless humans in the south will once again sound the horns of war!!"

"Whether the flames of war will spread to our northern territories, I remain pessimistic."

Taking advantage of this meeting, Allen also frankly shared some important insights from his trip south with Tim, Maggot-Eye, and the others, holding nothing back.

"That's impossible, right?"

"Chieftain Allen, are you joking?"

The faces of the trolls and gnolls, which had just relaxed a bit, immediately turned serious again, with a hint of panic and doubt hidden deep in their eyes.

"I'm not trying to scare you!!"

Allen's expression turned serious as he faced these trolls, gnolls, and the good children of his tribe.

"Besides my own observations, the royalty of the Icewind Kingdom and the humans of the Council of Truth have also confirmed this matter to me. Although they don't see eye to eye as members of the human race, they can still obtain subtle clues more easily than us children of the wilderness."

"Also, when passing through the Orc Empire, their special envoy met with me and cautiously urged me to remind the alliance to pay close attention to the movements of the humans. Furthermore, the troops of the Orc Empire's fortresses are also gearing up for war, clearly indicating that the orcs are also actively preparing for battle."

"As the most forward-positioned tribes and fortresses in the northern wilderness, our three tribes also need to intensify our planning and actively prepare for the upcoming war!!"

"Therefore, I believe it is necessary to unite all forces that can be united, so that the various tribes of our northern territories can condense into one force, so that even without the support of the alliance, we can resist the invasion of the Northern Elven Kingdom."

"Since the Council of Truth has sent their elite team north to spread knowledge in our territory, then as hosts, we must also show enough generosity to allow them to integrate into our alliance more quickly."

"Not only the human team, but I also want to bring a branch of the Corima dark elves from the west into our council seat, giving them 2-3 representative seats according to their strength."

"..."

Maggot-Eye, Tim, and the others had uncertain expressions on their faces. After all, the future situation Allen was describing to them now lacked much information support. Relying solely on Allen's word of mouth inevitably made them hesitate and doubt in their hearts.

Agreeing to the human mage team joining the council seat and giving them a seat was still acceptable to the other two tribes. After all, the mages who came north this time, along with their servants, students, and the like, were only over two hundred people. Even if they were allowed to settle in Nasir Fortress and given a council seat, they wouldn't cause much trouble.

However, the Corima dark elves in the west were different. In recent years, they have been accepting drow compatriots who escaped from the Hoqi Ya Federation, and constantly multiplying. In addition, with the gray dwarves, stone ogres and other underground vassals, the population and strength of Corima Town has been considered a medium-to-upper tribe in the wilderness.

If the dark elves were given a little more time to develop and become a member of the Wilderness Alliance, it would not be a problem for them.

Just recently, another legendary talent was cultivated among the dark elves, which means that there are now three legends among the dark elves in Corima Town, even more than the number of legends in Tim's tribe, and their strength is even stronger.

If they were also brought into the council seat, then for the other two tribes, they would more or less worry whether Allen would take the opportunity to control the council seat and indirectly control their two tribes!!

Although Tim and Maggot-Eye are not clear that more than half of the major families under their command have defected to the Greenwood tribe, it's just that everyone doesn't show it on weekdays.

"Of course, the latter point is just a suggestion of mine, and in the end, I still need to give everyone some time to think about it."

Allen saw the suspicion and caution in the hearts of Maggot-Eye, Tim, and others, knowing that he couldn't move too fast, and quickly stopped the car and said.

"Oh!!"

Maggot-Eye and Tim looked at each other and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"However, I still have to remind you, Maggot-Eye, Tim, to invest more resources in the north and carefully observe the movements of the elves."

"If possible, I still hope that you can temporarily put aside your hatred for the drow. Even if you can't join forces to deal with the elves, you shouldn't at least stab the drow in the back."

"However, the prerequisite is that you also believe that the Elven Kingdom is mobilizing and organizing troops, and there is a possibility of launching a war."

As the council meeting came to an end, Allen couldn't help but remind the two leaders, Maggot-Eye and Tim, a few words.

"Understood."

"I'll take care of it."

The two leaders had different expressions, but Allen could still feel their resistance to this suggestion.

The matter of Nasir Fortress came to an end. Allen had done what he could and should do. Then he met with Gunther, the leader of the human mage team.

"I have already discussed it with Tim and Maggot-Eye. Tomorrow they will arrange for people to clear a piece of land at the junction of the two tribes' slum areas in the outer city, enough to accommodate your magic tower and magic academy."

"Also, the construction resources and financial support that I promised you will be in place one after another. I will arrange for my tribe's goblin manager to connect with you."

"At the same time, I have also won a seat in the Alliance Council for you. At that time, you will also be qualified to participate in the affairs of our three tribes and two fortresses. Although you may not have much say, you can at least familiarize yourself with and understand Nasir Fortress and the situation of our three tribes through the Council."

Since Allen dared to actively help Gunther and others win a seat in the council, he was not worried that they would cause trouble for him. A small organization of only two hundred people, far away from the Icewind Kingdom by two or three thousand miles, could not cause much trouble under his nose.

What Allen valued more was that after this precedent, when the time was ripe, he would bring in the dark elves of Corima, and then gradually plan to include the other tribes of the Thorns Ring, so that the territory of the six northern tribes might become a relatively more united and unified whole.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency."

Gunther pushed the rimmed glasses on his nose, and behind the lenses, a trace of wisdom flashed deep in his pupils.

"I also hope that you can build the magic tower as soon as possible. Feel free to ask for any materials you need, and I will have people help you collect them."

"Understood."
