Green Monster Epic

Chapter 85: Bowing the Head and Speaking of Peace

"An explanation is naturally required. I have already prepared a contract. How about Elder Bonecrusher taking a look?"

Alan was prepared and pulled out a piece of parchment from the lining of his scorched leather armor, throwing it far in front of Bonecrusher.

At this time, Alan was still fearful, not daring to approach the other party's range easily. If he were hit by another magic attack, he would probably really be done for.

Bonecrusher waved his staff, and a gust of breeze flowed out, causing the parchment to sway and fall in front of him, which he easily caught. Seeing Alan's fearful state, Bonecrusher finally regained some confidence. It seemed that his dragon breath technique had not been as easily withstood as the other party had shown.

The parchment exuded a magical aura, indicating that it was a magic contract capable of summoning a contract demon. Bonecrusher slowly examined the words on the paper, line by line, carefully considering the meaning of each word in his heart. The binding force of a magic contract was very strong. If he carelessly missed a certain clause, he would be the only one to suffer when his true name was signed.

Fortunately, Alan's contract itself was relatively beneficial to the Bonecrusher Tribe and Bonecrusher himself. After all, their strength was greater, putting them in a position of advantage.

"...As a reward for the Bonecrusher Tribe abandoning its covetousness towards the Greenwild Tribe, the Greenwild Tribe Chief can accept three requests from the Bonecrusher Tribe during his lifetime that do not violate the interests of the Greenwild Tribe and are within his capabilities..."

"...The entire Greenwild Tribe, when the Bonecrusher Tribe's camp faces attack from a strong enemy, must dispatch no less than half of its warriors to fight for the Bonecrusher Tribe for compensation..."

"...As a corresponding reward, the entire Bonecrusher Tribe, when the Greenwild Tribe encounters an enemy attack, must also dispatch no less than half of its warriors to drive away the enemy for the Greenwild Tribe for compensation..."

"...Based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, the leaders of both parties signing the contract must restrain their tribesmen from engaging in warfare with the other party signing the contract. Violators will have their souls reclaimed by the contract demon witnessing the contract and fall into the abyss..."

In fact, there were not many words in the contract. The central idea was peaceful coexistence. As a reward, what Bonecrusher and his tribe could obtain was that Alan, a powerful combat professional, could do three things within his power for the Bonecrusher Tribe in the future. This was also the bargaining chip that Alan could offer to impress the other party after demonstrating his strength.

Agreeing to sign the contract meant that Alan would work for the Bonecrusher Tribe, which could be considered a disguised form of bowing and submitting. If the Bonecrusher Tribe stubbornly refused to change and continued to provoke and attack the Greenwild Tribe, then they would have to face Alan's endless revenge.

What to do, where to go? In fact, the answer was already obvious the moment Bonecrusher failed to kill Alan in the challenge.

When Phillip proposed this method, there were two reasons why he was worried that things would not succeed: one was that Alan's strength was not enough to directly confront Bonecrusher's magic, and the other was that Bonecrusher, as the leader, valued his own interests far more than the interests of the tribe. Alan didn't think the first reason was a big problem. Although he was very likely unable to defeat Bonecrusher, Alan was still confident in his skills to survive under him.

Only the second point was what Alan was most uncertain about. Alan knew almost nothing about Bonecrusher's temperament and his attitude towards the tribe and its members. Before they moved to Green Lake, they had never dealt with the Bonecrusher Tribe at all.

If Bonecrusher was cruel and ruthless, then Alan's threat to use the other party's tribe as a bargaining chip would have no weight at all. Then, the only two paths waiting for Alan and the Greenwild Tribe would be to relocate Green Lake and fight to the end.

But now it seemed that Alan and his group had made the right choice. Bonecrusher frowned and struggled with the decision. The other party's sincerity was full. Don't look like there were only a few clauses, but in comparison, the Bonecrusher Tribe had taken a big advantage. If used properly, Alan, this powerful assistant, could help a lot at critical times.

Most importantly, after signing this contract, there would be decades of peaceful development between the two tribes. Bonecrusher believed that with his own ability and the tribe's foundation, the opportunity for development and growth during this period would far exceed that of the Greenwild Tribe.

While Bonecrusher was struggling, Alan took out a treasured spell scroll and cast a spell on himself. With a flash of white light, a divine spell of healing light wounds enveloped Alan's entire body, and a cool sensation from head to toe reduced the pain of being stung by wasps all over his body.

"Who! ! !"

Just as he had recovered a bit from his injuries and was watching the changes in Bonecrusher's expression in the distance, Alan's intuition gave him a warning. His heart beat rapidly, and he instinctively drew his longsword from the ground, holding it up to his neck. At the critical moment, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and a translucent figure quickly changed from illusion to reality, revealing his true face.

"Damn it! !"

Alan was ashamed and angry, and even Dasha and Flower Snake beside him were particularly furious. The three of them quickly surrounded the unknown figure, mindlessly smashing their weapons at the other party.

"Nonsense! ! ! !"

"Chief Alan, please stop! !"

"You bastard, hurry up and get back here! ! !"

However, Alan and his group were unable to kill the figure who had attacked him. When Bonecrusher and his group were disturbed by the sudden movement on Alan's side and turned their attention over, Bonecrusher's sudden shouting and scolding voice came over.

Alan's raised two-handed sword failed to smash down for a long time. Seeing the gap in the encirclement, he quickly unfolded his body and slipped out from the flaw Alan revealed, running to Bonecrusher in a puff of smoke, lowering his head and being carried to the side by Bonecrusher, who beat his back vigorously with his oak staff, scolding him for not listening to him.

"I told you to stay in the tribe, but you're good. You're so bold that you don't even listen to me. You even dared to attack Chief Alan! ! Didn't you see that we are about to sign a contract with them?"

Bonecrusher's seemingly stern punishment was actually protecting the gnoll in front of him. It turned out that the figure who attacked Alan was Ye Bonecrusher, whom Bonecrusher had high hopes for and who was most likely to succeed as the future chief of the Bonecrusher Tribe.

Of course, Ye's attack on Alan was not in Bonecrusher's plan. He had not thought that Ye would secretly follow his group to the meeting place. He also did not expect that Ye would be so bold as to launch a sneak attack on Alan, this greenskin. In the event of failure, Bonecrusher could only bite the bullet and reveal the other party's identity. Otherwise, with Ye's strength, the possibility of surviving in the encirclement of Alan and his two tribesmen was almost zero.

Secretly, Bonecrusher was also extremely regretful. If Ye's strength was a little higher, or if he was an advanced profession of a thief, and had harvested Alan's life, then he would not have the current entanglement. But it was also good that Ye's sudden attack failed, which made him determined to have a step to sign this contract.
