Green Monster Epic

“… … From now on, all adult goblin warriors in the tribe must undergo basic military training for half a year every three years to familiarize themselves with relevant military formations and combat skills.”

“… … At the same time, the tribe's basic material reserves also need to be expanded by more than double in order to meet the needs of the tribe to assemble an army in a short period of time when war breaks out.”

Allen returned to the tribe's Namur Fortress, and summoned the city lord Oliver and the commanders of the city's defense army and other high-level officials to hold a small meeting and issue his instructions to them.

Although Allen was also clear that whether it was humans or elves, they were indeed planning for war, it was impossible for them to put it into action in the near future, at least not for several decades, or even a hundred years.

However, Allen, who likes to be prepared for a rainy day, since he has basically determined that a great war may break out in the future, he will not really wait until the horns of war are blown before slowly starting to prepare.

Rather than waiting until the last minute, just to save trouble and a little resource expenditure, it is better to tighten your belt, make arrangements in advance, and let the tribe's warriors become more familiar with the ways of cluster army operations and gain relevant experience.

Even if the cubs in the tribe don't need these now, they will always be able to use them one day in the future.

“As for the army, you have to keep an eye on it for me. Training and drills must never be interrupted. In this regard, you as commanders must lead by example and never slack off.”

“Understood!!”

Rabana, Rabali and other commanders responded in a deep voice, and no one dared to raise any questions.

“Oliver, when the Northern Magic Academy is established, remember to select a group of the most outstanding goblin children in the tribe and send them to the academy to study. Especially those children who have talent in the knight profession, don't be stingy with resources, even if you have to砸 (invest heavily), you must砸 (produce) a group of high-level knight profession goblin cubs!!”

This trip south, the experience of fighting against the human regular army also stimulated Allen.

In the past, Allen was still a little proud and complacent that his tribe's army was the best among the northern tribes, but after truly seeing the combat methods of the human regular army, Allen realized how ignorant he was.

It was also because of this stimulation that Allen now understands the shortcomings of the tribe. It is not too late to make up for it now. Even if there is no legendary knight sitting in the army at that time, a large-scale and well-coordinated high-level knight can also exert great effectiveness. It is not impossible to contend with a legion commanded by a legendary commander.

“Okay.”

Oliver did not have the confidence of the previous city lords. Faced with the instructions made by the tribal chief Allen, he had no other thoughts except to bow his head in agreement.

“At the same time, we must also organize the scholars in the tribe and let them rewrite the organization of the knight-led army, so that we can make changes to the army establishment of the tribe…”

… … … …

After Allen finished dealing with the things he was concerned about, another month had passed. Then Allen truly put down all his burdens, sent people to seal off the arena in the inner city, and began his next retreat for cultivation.

Originally, the place prepared for retreat was not in the crowded fortress, but in the west, near the Fate Fortress on the endless sea. However, because of the incident of being hunted down by a human powerhouse, Allen cautiously chose to stay in the most heavily guarded inner city area of the tribe before he could figure out the other party's purpose. At least there was still Cole girl here, and the giant dragon Figglas, who didn't know what race he had transformed into.

With his mental power returning to calm, Allen's mind was now blank, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a lifeless humanoid sculpture, blending into the surrounding environment.

In the sky, several small birds were attracted by the quiet environment in the arena and flew down, chasing and playing in the spacious arena, sometimes landing on various props, and sometimes flying in the air.

One of the birds seemed to be tired of flying and stopped directly on a weapon rack not far from Allen, and began to groom its feathers carelessly, occasionally looking at the bear goblin sculpture in the empty arena with curious eyes.

At this moment, Allen's long-closed eyes suddenly opened, and the original black pupils transformed into a brilliant golden color, and he slightly turned his head and cast his gaze on the bird on the weapon rack. The bird was startled at first, and just as it was about to flap its wings and fly high, the bird's opened wings turned into a still picture the moment its bean-sized eyes intersected with Allen's eyes, and there was no subsequent action.

As their eyes met, Allen only used one look, and his mental power penetrated the bird's body, directly erasing its weak animal will.

Waving his hand expressionlessly, the bird was sucked over by a gust of wind and fell into Allen's hand. Allen continued to stare at this little thing that only had breathing and heartbeat left, and the golden light in his pupils did not dissipate.

Although the anger in his body was not running, if someone were to look at him at this time, I am afraid that anyone would spontaneously feel a kind of unspeakable fear and submission, just like the feeling of a lower-level demon or devil facing a higher-level one.

His gaze, without any emotional fluctuations, seemed to be looking not at the bird in his hand, but at an unknown existence. It wasn't until the bird's body in his hand suddenly exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist that he retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky.

… … … …

Thousands of miles away, deep in the Tagan Desert in the north, a handsome young elf riding a pure white unicorn suddenly changed his expression drastically. His mental world seemed to have been attacked, and his mind went dark, and he fell directly from the unicorn.

“Hee hee ~ ~”

The unicorn and the elf seemed to be telepathic. Seeing that the other party suddenly lost consciousness, it was also in a panic. Its four hooves kept kicking in the hot sand and stones, while carefully using the horn on its head to gently turn and stimulate the elf who fell in the sand.

“Pfft!!”

I don't know how long it took, but the elf, who was like a corpse on the ground, finally moved. He slowly moved his hands and feet, and before he had fully recovered his sanity, he first spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, which fell on the gravel and immediately rose into a cloud of steam.

When he reopened his eyes, he struggled to climb up from the sand and stone, and patted his unicorn partner who was intimately attached to his chest to comfort him. At the same time, a burst of fear and fear could not help but rise in the depths of his eyes.

No matter how this elf thought about it, he never thought that his animal companion, which he sent out so inconspicuously to scout and monitor the target's whereabouts, would still be discovered. Not only did the other party discover his animal companion, but he was even able to send a huge and pure mental power over from thousands of miles away, just by relying on the faint mental connection between himself and the animal companion, directly twisting his mental world into a mess.

“Go, go back!!”

The elven druid was certain that there was no need for further surveillance, nor did he have the ability to do so.

An existence capable of severely injuring him from thousands of miles away was enough to verify many things; otherwise, there was no way to explain how a warrior-type demigod could accomplish such miraculous feats.

Hinnies ~ ~ ~

The elf leaped onto the unicorn's back. Finally given the order, the unicorn was able to gallop freely. With an excited neigh, a cloud of dust rose behind the elf and his companion.

… … … …

Allen stood up, ignoring the splattered blood and flesh of the exploded birds on his clothes. Just as he was about to leap up and fly out of the arena, a ripple of light flashed across his usually calm golden pupils.

Suddenly, Allen, who had been floating in mid-air, lost his balance and crashed headfirst to the ground. As soon as he landed, he clutched his head and began to moan softly in pain.

“Ah ~ ~ ~ Hiss ~ ~ ~ Ah ~ ~ ~”

A hobgoblin with a will as firm as steel, who had rolled around on the edge of life and death countless times, was now unable to maintain basic composure. He curled up into a ball, clutching his head and wailing softly in pain.

He didn't know how much time had passed before Allen recovered from this excruciating pain. His entire body felt as if it had been soaked in water, leaving a clear, sweat-soaked imprint on the ground where he had been curled up.

Although he had built up a sufficient psychological defense, each time he tried the Legendary Feat of Dual Tasking, his so-called psychological defense was as fragile as paper, offering him almost no help.

Each time the attempt failed, the two forcibly separated consciousnesses would reunite, becoming as dangerous as a real battle. If they could not fully merge, then, unfortunately, Allen would have a very high chance of becoming a schizophrenic with another personality.

And the differentiated pseudo-consciousness would always seize the opportunity when Allen's main consciousness needed to familiarize and understand it, spontaneously trying to seize control of Allen's body, just like an independent personality, full of longing for freedom.

Just now, the differentiated divine side, after taking control of Allen's body, spontaneously attacked the obscure, mysterious aura that had suddenly appeared nearby.

The divine consciousness was absolutely rational and absolutely ruthless. The only thing it cared about was the safety and interests of the main body. Since someone dared to release a bird to monitor and observe him in his heavily guarded territory, it was obviously unfavorable to him, so attacking was, in the divine consciousness's view, a matter of course.

In fact, if Allen's self-awareness hadn't noticed something was wrong and quickly started to seize control of the body, the two streams of consciousness would have repeated the previous scene of merging and converging in the sea of consciousness. It was just that this time, Allen hadn't expected that when the divine consciousness controlled the body, his vast and pure mental power as a demigod would be completely consumed by a single glance.

The merging and collision of mental power without any protection, the feedback from the weakened body and the mental world, instantly became a torment and pain comparable to a calamity for Allen.

However, Allen also gained something. At least, after the convergence of consciousness, all the discoveries and actions of the divine consciousness were completely received by Allen.

“Animal Companion? Magic Servant? ? ?”

His body was still weak, and his mind was constantly twitching, sending waves of hidden pain. Allen's thoughts, however, had already drifted into the distance, trying to explore the master behind the previous bird and their purpose.

Who exactly would be so interested in him? With too little information available, Allen could only make reasonable judgments.

However, affected by this incident, the seclusion that had just begun less than half a month ago had to be temporarily brought to a halt. He had originally thought that the arena in the clan should be considered safe, but now it seemed that there were still many loopholes.

It seemed that it was still necessary to plug all the loopholes before he could resume his seclusion.

Although those secretly prying eyes might not be able to learn what specific Legendary Feat he was practicing through his training and meditation process, Allen still felt it was better to be cautious in everything.

With a whoosh, soaring through the sky above the arena, Allen dragged his weak body straight to the city lord's mansion, ignoring the soldiers on both sides who saluted him, and disregarding the greetings of the passing clan supervisors and leaders. He pushed open the door to City Lord Oliver's office and walked in expressionlessly.

“Who… Chieftain.”

Oliver was lowering his head to write some documents when he was suddenly startled by the sound of the door being pushed open. Just as he was about to lose his temper impatiently, he looked up and saw Allen, who was in a hurry and covered in a sour smell, and quickly restrained his temper and carefully saluted and greeted Allen.

“Is there something you need from me?”

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Oliver glanced across Allen's face and their eyes met, Oliver had a feeling of being seen through by Allen.

“Give me a team of men. I need to block all the passages in the inner city arena. At the same time, I also need a squadron of spellcasters, as well as magical devices that can maintain long-term detection spells and creatures, to cover the entire arena.”

The side effects brought about by each attempt to master the Dual Tasking feat were too great. Therefore, although he knew that there might be prying eyes in the dark, Allen did not intend to travel far alone and secretly find an unknown place to seclude himself.

In the magical world, Allen himself could not guarantee that the so-called hidden and unknown places would not be found by people using various divination spells, and then quietly send people to easily harvest his life when he was at his weakest.

“I, I need some time to prepare.”

Oliver replied tremblingly. This time, Allen gave him a somewhat unfamiliar feeling, and his tone was cold and unwavering, like an emotionless machine.

This was vastly different from the attitude Allen had shown when he listened to the chieftain's instructions in the past, and the pressure was not as great as it was now.

“Alright, I’ll give you three days.”

Allen nodded, and then, as he had come, he turned around and walked out, decisive and efficient.

“Phew!!”

Only when Allen's figure disappeared outside the door did Oliver let out a long breath. He raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead, wiping away the fine beads of sweat.

“Someone!!”

Soon, Oliver also took action, quickly starting to recruit people to handle the matters Allen had just ordered. He didn't want to experience Allen's cold face again.
