Green Monster Epic

"Lord! Lord! Help!"

As the footsteps of the Greenwood patrol team finally arrived late, surrounding the house, One-Eye, who was being trampled by Allen and had countless broken bones, finally saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes and mustered his last courage to shout loudly.

Allen let the guy struggle. He knew that a guy like One-Eye the earth spirit could run this kind of gray business under the tribe's nose, and it was impossible that none of the patrol leaders in Greenwood knew about it.

He wanted to see who was backing this bastard.

"Put down your weapons, put your hands on your head and get out, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Outside the door, a bear earth spirit guard captain, wearing a set of one-piece fine iron armor and carrying two double-edged battle axes on his back, shouted angrily at the dilapidated house with a full voice.

"You've got guts, daring to run wild in my Greenwood territory. I'd like to see what kind of stuff you are!"

Boom!

Allen waved his hand, and the door three meters behind him was directly blown away by the force of his fist, rushing straight towards the bear earth spirit who spoke.

Whoosh!

The bear earth spirit guard captain was quick-witted and quick-handed, drawing out two battle axes and splitting them out head-on, instantly smashing the two-meter-high and one-meter-wide door panel to pieces, but he himself was forced back two steps by the heavy force on the door panel.

After this exchange, the bear earth spirit guard captain's proud face became serious, and his gaze towards the broken house in front of him became more cautious.

Allen released his legs from One-Eye's shoulders and took a step forward, landing right on the only intact left arm of the other party. Without seeing how he exerted force, there were a few crisp cracking sounds, followed by One-Eye's shrill scream like a miserably dead pig.

The other earth spirit cubs in the house, and One-Eye's two subordinates, were obviously frightened by Allen's methods, not daring to move at all. Several 5-6-year-old earth spirit children even had tears in their eyes, huddling into the arms of some older earth spirits, shivering.

Seeing this scene, Allen's heart softened a little. He could be ruthless to any other earth spirit in the tribe, but he had basically no resistance to these children who hadn't even grown their hair and had no power.

However, glancing at the approaching tribal guards, Allen's face immediately changed color, turning directly into an iceberg.

"Brave warrior, please reveal your identity and give us a reason for injuring someone without cause."

Ayesha, the bear earth spirit with the strength of a high-level 13th-level strongman, who had exchanged blows with Allen, clearly sensed the gap in strength between them, so he no longer had the previous arrogance and asked with a respectful tone.

"Injuring someone without cause?? How do I remember that Article 35 of the Greenwood Tribe's rules and regulations states that all earth spirit children under the age of 14 who are orphaned, foreign migrants, or abandoned must be sent to the tribe's orphanage for unified care."

"But what I see is that this earth spirit hooligan actually has more than a dozen earth spirit children under his command, helping them swindle and deceive."

Allen was restrained, not attacking with lethal force right away, but his tone was still unkind, and he replied coldly.

"Brave warrior, did the children under this guy steal or rob your things? If so, we will definitely help you get it back, but I still hope that this guy and the earth spirits under him will be handled by us."

Ayesha looked into the broken house through the doorless opening, saw One-Eye's miserable state, and the huddled earth spirit cubs, and his face immediately became solemn, saying with a grateful and negotiating tone.

Of course, Ayesha was somewhat puzzled at this time. Why was this bear earth spirit, wearing a mask and draped in a ceremonial cloak, so familiar with their tribe's rules.

"If you want me to hand the people over to you, that's no problem, but I need to know how you will deal with these earth spirit scoundrels?"

Ayesha's handling method gave Allen a little more goodwill. Although the other party was very arrogant at the beginning, he did not take too strong measures against Allen after seeing the specific situation, which was still commendable.

"We will naturally handle it according to the tribe's regulations, brave warrior, you can rest assured. However, similarly, we also need the brave warrior to go to our tribe's security bureau to receive inquiries and provide proof of what you have seen and heard."

Ayesha heard the softening in Allen's tone and breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment, his team of twelve earth spirit warriors only had him as a high-level, and the others were mostly mid-level warriors. If there was really a dispute or conflict, he was not completely sure of dealing with this bear earth spirit who looked unfathomable.

Therefore, the best way to do it now is to appease the other party first, and then take him back to the tribe's security bureau, where there are many powerful warriors stationed, and then they can naturally use stronger methods.

"Okay!"

Allen didn't want to reveal his identity, and at the same time, he still hoped to continue investigating to see which guys in the tribe One-Eye was associated with.

Although, if Allen really wanted to know these things, he only needed to go back and tell Oliver and the others, and they would definitely give him a satisfactory answer before long, but Allen, who had not paid attention to the bottom of the tribe for a long time and really had nothing to do, took this opportunity to pass the time.

The security bureau has a well-equipped branch in each city, such as the city where Allen and others are located, which is under the jurisdiction of the South City security bureau. As the Council of Courts mechanism is gradually improved, the power division and penetration of the three tribes is also increasing. Now, the security bureau of that Muer Fortress is managed by the joint security department under the Council of Courts.

The joint security bureau of the South City is also the security bureau with the most members and the largest scale among the several security bureaus in the Muer Fortress. Although Ayesha and their city guards are not under the jurisdiction of the security bureau, foreign earth spirits like Allen who do not seem to belong to the Greenwood tribe and cause trouble in the tribe will be handed over to the security bureau for handling according to regulations after being encountered by the city guards.

After all, the joint security bureau has jurisdiction over the territories of the three tribes, so each tribe cannot give too many formal member quotas to let them have more power. And the territories of the three tribes and two fortresses are really not small. The security bureau's limited members will definitely not be able to fully cover the surrounding areas, so often the city defense forces of the three tribes need to help.

"It's your shift again today, Captain Ayesha."

At the entrance of the South City security bureau, there are many people coming in and out, including earth spirits, gnolls, and trolls. Everyone seems to get along well. Even the relatively grumpy gnolls seem to be well-behaved.

As Ailan, along with One-Eye, who was practically on his last breath, a large group of goblin children carefully watched over by a dozen goblin warriors, and two hobgoblin lackeys being dragged without any dignity, entered the security bureau's gate, some members coming and going already recognized Esiya and greeted him familiarly.

“Yes, I've been leading the team on duty for the past week,”

Esiya nodded, replying with distress.

“Looks like you guys had a good haul today, bringing such a large group of goblins.”

Someone with keen eyes saw One-Eye on a makeshift stretcher, almost unrecognizable, and with a seemingly joking but actually sneering tone, carefully scanned Ailan and his group, finally fixing his gaze on Ailan, who was wearing a half-mask.

“And this is…?”

“Oh, this is the person who seriously injured One-Eye today. You can take him in and interrogate him yourselves to find out the specifics.”

Esiya replied nonchalantly, glancing at Ailan, finally returning to his usual expression.

“Alright.”

The hobgoblin who greeted Esiya seemed to hold a decent position in the security bureau. He nodded seriously to Esiya, then turned and shouted towards the tall building enclosed by the courtyard walls.

“A few of you inside who aren't busy, come out and take these guys in.”

Soon after the words fell, seven or eight security team members of different races came out, taking over the goblins guarded by Esiya and his team, pushing Ailan and the other goblins into the bureau with fierce expressions.

“Let's get together sometime when you have time.”

The hobgoblin put on a warm smile again, saying to Esiya.

“No problem, but it probably won't work for the next week.”

Esiya smiled slightly, not refusing.

“Understood, after your shift ends!”

The hobgoblin nodded, then bid farewell and left.

After sending Ailan to the security bureau, Esiya visibly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had fulfilled his duties. Whatever happened next was beyond his control.

“Captain, that bear goblin warrior, will he…?”

One of the earth goblin team members, feeling a bit sorry, approached Esiya and whispered.

“This isn't something you or I can handle. Since he likes to meddle, then he has to bear the corresponding consequences.”

Esiya looked displeased, glaring at the clueless guy.

This kid obviously didn't know that team captains like themselves always received a bonus at the end of the month. Although it wasn't as much as their salary, it wasn't far off. With this bonus, they, the team captains, could live a comfortable life, and the source of these bonuses was naturally the tribute from gray industries like One-Eye's gang.

Moreover, since the joint security bureau became independent, the tribe no longer had absolute control over many things in the city. Even if Esiya wanted to intervene in incidents like today's, he would not only gain no merit but might even be blamed if the security bureau people reported him. So why should he bother?

However, judging by this bear goblin's skills today, if the security bureau people wanted to get rough with him, he would definitely resist based on his observation. If things escalated and alarmed the tribe's higher-ups, who sent people to investigate, perhaps these dirty secrets could be exposed.

Esiya actually cherished his current life and was proud to be a warrior of the Green Field Tribe. He also disliked many things happening at the bottom of the tribe, but unfortunately, his voice carried little weight. If he rashly stood out, it might bring disaster to himself and his family, so he could only go along with the tide.

This time, he didn't tell the hobgoblin squad leader about Ailan's strength, which could be considered a silent form of resistance. Anyway, he was just a bear goblin of unknown origin, not from their Green Field Tribe, so it didn't matter if he was set up. Even if he died in the end, it wouldn't be a big deal.

“Take off everything you're wearing!!”

Having just brought Ailan into a room made of refined iron, Arnold, the hobgoblin squad leader separated by an iron栅栏, finally revealed a ferocious face and roared directly at Ailan.

“How dare you cause trouble in the Green Field Tribe's territory? You simply don't want to live!!”

“Hurry up!!”

Ailan frowned slightly. It was said that he would only be interrogated and testify about One-Eye's matter, but he didn't expect that after being pushed into this room, which was almost indistinguishable from a prison, the hobgoblin in front of him actually treated him like a prisoner.

The One-Eye earth goblin and his two lackeys, as well as the dozen or so goblin cubs who came in with Ailan, had been separated when they went upstairs, leaving only Ailan now.

“I want to know what I've done that requires me to be treated like this.”

Ailan remained unmoved, standing straight in the iron cage, asking slowly.

“Don't you know what you've done yourself?”

“Why did you use such ruthless methods to beat up members of the Green Field Tribe?? Just for this one thing, I can make you lose your little life, believe it or not??”

Arnold was in a very bad mood. One-Eye was not doing well, but he was good at gathering information and finding fat sheep.

Moreover, the dozen or so goblin orphans he had carefully selected yielded considerable daily gains, and the tribute sent to the higher-ups was naturally equally good.

But now, this very useful hound was crippled directly. Even if he was cured in the end, he would probably be a cripple, which meant that their group had lost a stable source of income, and also lost an excellent informant.

“I don't believe it.”

Ailan was calm and collected, noticing the emotional changes of the hobgoblin in front of him. He felt like he had found the right person, although there was definitely a bigger fish behind this hobgoblin.

“I was just pickpocketed by these goblin cubs, and then I found that One-Eye earth goblin, wanting to get my wallet back.”

“If you wanted to get your wallet back, you could have reported it to our security bureau's patrol team, and we would naturally have helped you find it. But why did you beat people up like that?”

“Because he stole my wallet, and he also harbored goblin children.”

“I remember that there are management regulations specifically for goblin children in the Green Field Tribe's tribal rules. His subordinates actually have more than a dozen goblin children, so doesn't that mean you are also derelict in your duties??”

Ailan's sudden question stunned Arnold for a moment, then he roared fiercely: “What does this have to do with our security bureau? One-Eye harboring goblin children is a Green Field internal affair, and our security bureau has no jurisdiction over it!!”

“Take off your mask, I want to see who you are, pretending here!!”
