Green Monster Epic

Chapter 77: Change

Six days have passed since returning to Green Lake, and Green Field Village has undergone significant changes.

The dilapidated outer fence has been restored to good condition under the repair of the tribesmen, Dasha and others, providing decent defensive capabilities.

Inside the village, most of the Kobold's wooden houses built against the mountain have disappeared.

To cater to the tribesmen's preference for living in caves, Allen simply allowed them to dig deep burrows in the hillside, only building a spacious house foundation near the mountaintop.

He planned to have the tribesmen and slaves work hard, using the huge, weathered stones scattered throughout the wilderness to build a stone pavilion as his residence and a place for the tribesmen to gather on weekdays.

Early this morning, after having breakfast made by Tea Blossom and the others, Allen and his people started working again.

Most of the tribesmen and slaves were using rudimentary tools to excavate the soil at the top of the hill, leveling it out.

Part of it was naturally used for Allen's house, and another part would become Green Field Village's square, a training ground for the warriors in the future.

As for Allen, with the threat of the Kobolds hanging over his head, he worked even harder to train his abilities.

His method of training was to channel the accumulated rage in his body into the two-handed sword in his hand, and then swiftly slash at the huge stones that the tribesmen had brought back from the wilderness, dividing them into regular rectangular blocks for building houses.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, the cold light of the two-handed sword in Allen's hand cut through the table-sized stone in front of him as if it were tofu.

The hard stone shattered under the rage-infused two-handed sword, and in a short while, it became a square, rectangular brick.

Allen's face was covered in sweat.

From the initial waste of several weapons, the unstable state of the rage being intermittent, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, to the current ability to evenly distribute it on the sword blade as if it were an extension of his arm, the effort he spent was beyond words.

An even greater gain was that he faintly felt another breakthrough coming.

It seemed that before long, he might break through again from the level 2 Berserker he had just reached when he returned from Thornsburg.

Allen had a deep foundation in the warrior ranks.

One was from his Hobgoblin's innate ability, and the other was from his conscious physical training since he was a child.

Although he had no inheritance, the training methods he had learned from the silent dreams over the years had brought Allen too many benefits.

When he learned many practical combat skills accumulated from Regis and the other mercenaries, and received divine power infusion from the Oak Shrine, he finally began to activate the massive potential hidden in his strong body, allowing him to advance to level 2 Berserker in Thornsburg, breaking through the barrier of level 10 overall.

At this time, when he looked inward, the thought in his mind would emerge: 8th level Warrior / 2nd level Berserker.

The biggest change for Allen in raising a level of Berserker was that the duration of his self-named Burst skill had increased several times.

At level one, his rage burst could only last for a dozen breaths, but after reaching level 2, he could last for about 3 minutes.

And since he was promoted to level 2 until now, more than a month had passed, and his rage burst time had been able to reach about 5 minutes, increasing by more than half, allowing him to explode with stronger combat power and last longer in battle, instead of having to use the burst as a trump card at critical moments as before.

"Don't you dare slack off, work harder!"

Taking a breath and relaxing his whole body muscles, Allen did not forget to look back and stare at the tribesmen working around him.

Especially Hua She and A Xiao, these males, were now pulling long green faces, burying their heads in a pile of rocks and working hard.

Some people helped each other, lifting irregular rough stones left and right, and moving them to the cleared open space; others waved crudely crafted iron hammers, polishing the stones one by one, making them easier for Allen to cut; still others guarded Allen, clearing away the stones and debris he had polished, placing them on a trailer next to them, and transporting them to the foundation on the top of the mountain after accumulating a certain amount, stacking them into load-bearing walls.

Philip and a human slave were now shining brightly.

The knowledge in their minds made them the most leisurely people in Green Field Village, only needing to point and direct the adult men in the village to work back and forth, constructing the stone house structure in their minds.

Philip was fairly good at arithmetic and had some knowledge of drawing and architecture.

He happened to be paired with a stonemason among the human slaves Allen bought, contributing no small amount of wisdom to Allen's construction of a castle with a large area on the top of the village.

The human stonemason was called Boris Hardy.

He was captured from a human kingdom called the White Mountain Kingdom by slave traders and taken to the Elven Kingdom.

He was able to save his life, thanks to his fairly superb stone carving skills, otherwise, the slave trade association would not have spent so much effort to transport him to the Elven Kingdom for sale for ordinary humans without skills.

At this time, Allen did not feel that spending so much money to buy these humans was a wrong decision.

It was with the help of Boris and the others that Allen, who had never had experience in tall buildings, could turn his wish to build a stone house on the top of the village into reality.

"As long as you don't slack off, I will give you an extra half pound of meat each at night!"

No encouragement is as effective as food.

Hearing Allen say this, the tribesmen's weak movements suddenly became powerful, and their actions became much faster.

During this time, in addition to arranging tasks for the tribesmen, Allen also drastically reformed many rules in the tribe.

One of them, which he began to implement on the way back, was to pair up the females and males in the tribe, so that they could form a stable family.

Firstly, it would allow them to mate and reproduce faster and more efficiently, and secondly, it would gradually change everyone's lack of belonging under long-term subtle influence.

In the past, the Green Field Tribe lived too chaotically.

The males, in addition to venting their animal desires on the females, would not care about the life or death of the females, nor could they care, because food was scarce in the wilderness, and no one could guarantee that they would definitely gain something today.

As for who the children in the females' bellies were after the animal desires, no one could identify them, so naturally no one wanted to feed other people's cubs.

Over time, everyone took this as normal, but it also made everyone have a very low sense of belonging to the tribe.

Whenever fighting and rushing to kill, they could still fight in good times, but in adversity, they would basically disperse, and no one would fight to the death for the tribe.
