Green Monster Epic

Chapter 856: Persuasion and Plans

“Your Excellency, what is your opinion?”

As the Thorns Ring organization gradually matured, although it was also a multi-racial alliance, the atmosphere within the organization was not like that of the Mansa Alliance, where everything was in chaos whenever something happened.

In the Thorns Ring organization meetings, everyone focused more on the matter at hand. Even if there were often disputes and arguments, there was very little resentment afterwards, and much less infighting.

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Albard turned his head and focused on Allen, asking.

At the same time, a group of member representatives turned their heads, and the sound of discussion also lessened a bit.

“I know what Tim and Bobier are thinking. I am actually very willing to help you realize your dreams. Anyway, your growth is a good thing for our Thorns Ring.”

“But we also have to consider those forces and camps that we can't afford to offend for the time being, analyze the pros and cons, and then make a judgment!”

“When the Drow Federation voted to join the alliance, in addition to your two races, the other qualified races present here all voted in favor.”

“This also means that we have essentially accepted the other party, recognizing them as a member of our alliance and also a member of the Northern Territory.”

“Over the years, the Drow Federation has deliberately shown goodwill to our organization members, expressing goodwill, and has even advanced and retreated with us on many matters of the alliance. Although these are not what we asked them to do, since we have enjoyed these benefits, then we cannot ignore their existence.”

“The Northern Territory is still too weak. Facing behemoths like elves and dwarves, we basically have no power to contend with. Now they may not have taken a fancy to our precious territory, but from a long-term perspective, the ultimate victor on the northern continent will inevitably attack the wilderness. It's just a matter of time.”

“The alliance and the Temple of Nature are using force in the south, the ultimate purpose of which is to maintain the existing balance of the Shire Continent and prolong the time for civilization to confront each other, so that we have room for survival in the wilderness. And we in the north are now facing such a choice.”

“It's just that the alliance has long ignored the problems in our Northern Territory and weakened its support and investment in the Northern Territory. If we want to continue to live peacefully in this land, we must unite all forces that can be united and strive to develop and strengthen our own strength.”

“Many of the little guys in my Green Field tribe have been dissatisfied with my behavior of giving benefits to the Thorns Ring organization, thinking that I have harmed the interests of the tribe and fattened you.”

“What is my reason for doing this?”

“Others can misunderstand me, but you, as beneficiaries, should be clear that I just hope to unite everyone through these good intentions and develop and grow together, so that one day when faced with a similar choice, everyone can unanimously look at the overall interests of the organization!”

“…”

Rarely, Allen revealed his heart to the representatives of various races in a tone of equal communication rather than condescending and oppressive. The seemingly weightless words finally floated into the ears of the representatives, and when they fell into their hearts, they were particularly heavy, making the eight or nine members present all ponder.

The wilderness tribes have always pursued the interests of individuals and tribes, but this does not mean that they are really born selfish. It is just that the atmosphere has been like this for a long time, making everyone accustomed to this style of behavior.

And Allen has been trying to make changes in the Northern Territory, using his power and the strength of the large tribe as a foundation to gradually influence the surrounding tribes and attract those who are promising to join the Northern Territory.

“I understand what you mean, Your Excellency Allen!”

“I am willing to give up my obsession with my homeland and focus on managing my clan's current territory!”

Although the previous tribal leader died at the hands of the bear goblin demigod in front of him, which made Roger, the tribe's new legendary elder, still resentful for more than a hundred years, and therefore had a long-term conflict with himself within the tribe, Tim, the troll chieftain, after understanding Allen's remarks, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said what Allen wanted to hear most.

When Tim first heard the envoys from several factions put forward their conditions, Tim was impulsive and excited, but after the representatives of several races debated, Tim himself gradually calmed down, and the last trace of illusion in his heart turned into a bubble with rational analysis.

In recent years, the Snow Mite clan has lived and multiplied in Nasir Fortress. Although the territory has shrunk greatly, the living conditions of the clan members have not only not declined, but have also developed considerably.

The better the life, the faster the reproduction naturally increases, and the small half of the Nasir Fortress city has now become a shackle for the tribe to continue to develop. This is also the reason why Tim had a great obsession with taking back the homeland area at that time.

Now that he can take the initiative to say that he will give up his homeland, it shows what kind of struggle and fighting spirit he has experienced in his heart, and what kind of determination he has made.

“…I, I will go back and discuss this issue with the tribe's high-level officials carefully!”

On the contrary, Bobier, the gnoll leader who relied more on the Green Field tribe, hesitated and was somewhat hesitant, and had to give an unsatisfactory reply because of Tim's statement.

But it is understandable to think about it. Now Nasir Fortress is too crowded. The city, which was originally designed to accommodate only 200,000 to 300,000 people, is now crowded with more than 600,000 people from two races, as well as tens of thousands of foreign adventurers and the like. It is necessary to re-expand and accommodate the surplus population.

The Green Field Plain has undertaken a lot of the two races' migration outwards, which makes the relationship between the two races and the Green Field tribe more integrated. In addition, with the cooperation of the court council mechanism in economy, military affairs, public security, etc., perhaps in another one or two hundred years, the three races will be indistinguishable from each other and become one.

The needs of the tribe's development cannot be ignored. Thinking about the old leader's requirements for himself before his death, Bobier needs a long time of psychological construction to make the same decision as Tim.

“We shouldn't be discouraged either. Although we can't choose the most favorable proposal for us, the conditions of the Drow and the Temple Mission together are still good.”

Allen was not dissatisfied with Bobier's hesitation. Instead, a hint of smugness rose in his always cold heart. It seems that after years of cultivating by example, the wilderness rulers in the Northern Territory have finally made a little change.

“At the same time, we can also take advantage of the current opportunity to express our dissatisfaction to the alliance through the temple and obtain more support from the alliance.”

“Before I returned from the north, I participated in a temporary meeting convened by the alliance. The content of the meeting was to discuss the issue of support for the Northern Territory. At the meeting, I solemnly protested to the alliance. If the alliance still ignores the Northern Territory as it has in the past, then we will carefully consider our future obligations to the alliance!”

“If the Temple of Nature pushes from behind again, then this time the Northern Territory will likely receive sufficient material and manpower support. When that time comes, it will be our chance to develop the Northern Territory greatly!”

“Although these returns are still less than the terms proposed by the elves, at least we don't have to offend the various forces in the wilderness, which is better for our long-term interests!”

From the beginning, Allen never intended to choose the elves. Cooperating with them is like seeking skins from a tiger. Perhaps many short-sighted leaders would be moved by them, but for Allen, they are the greatest enemies in the wilderness. He's already trying to weaken them, so how could he possibly cooperate with them!

The reason for showing an attitude of waiting for a better price in front of the elves was actually to put pressure on other forces. Otherwise, why would the drow and temple forces have come to contact Allen just before and after the elves?

“My tribe is willing to follow Your Excellency's choice!”

The ogre leader, Yali, is an unknown generation descendant of Nicol, and also a rare talent in this generation of the Heart of the Wilderness tribe. During the time that Nicol was stationed in the Centaur Grasslands, he and several other tribal backbones jointly controlled the power of the tribe.

In such a major event, even without the instructions of the leader Nicol, Yali and the others understand to closely follow the steps of the Green Field Tribe and stand with them. This is also an important reason why their Heart of the Wilderness has been able to grow and develop to this day.

“We have no objections either!”

The dark elf representative, Drist, also quickly stated his position. Although this branch of theirs hates the drow clan, they don't have much affection for the elves either.

If the Elf God-King had cared about the Dark Maiden, his offspring, back then, he wouldn't have allowed the Spider Queen Rose to take the Dark Maiden away from the Elven Gods' kingdom, leaving the Dark Maiden to fight alone.

“. Uh, our two tribes have no objections either and will listen to Your Excellency's arrangements!”

To be honest, the other tribes' involvement in this matter this time is thanks to Allen, this gnoll demigod, for being frank with them. In the end, no matter which side they choose, they will profit, so who would have too many complaints!

Of course, later everyone may start mobilizing tribal and affiliated forces to defend their homes because of their choices, and the losses will definitely vary, but isn't this their respective responsibility and obligation?

Not to mention that the three tribes at the forefront are the most dangerous. The several tribes behind them have benefited a lot from being sheltered under their wings over the years, so even if there are sacrifices, everyone can accept it.

“Good!”

A trace of brilliance finally appeared on Allen's solemn face, and he smiled slightly with great satisfaction.

“Then we have decided to cooperate with the drow, the temple, and the dwarves, which means that we will be directly fighting the elves' army next!”

“With the strength of the elven army, our existing forces are definitely not enough to deal with them, so the scale of our joint forces will inevitably need to be…”

“Your Excellency, can I interrupt for a moment!”

Just as Allen was about to issue tasks to everyone, the lizardman Jeron's voice suddenly interjected again.

“Speak.”

“Even if we don't reach a consensus with the elves, there seems to be no need to sacrifice the brave warriors of our tribe for the drow, right?”

“I think we should just put on a show and randomly select some warriors from our vassals to form an army and send them to the front line of the Drow Federation. This can be considered as fulfilling our obligations!”

Hearing Jeron's statement, not only did his compatriot Kambera nod slightly, but even Tim and Bobier also had expressions of approval in their eyes.

“Anyway, with the current strength of the drow, dealing with the elves' 200,000 troops is still not a problem!”

“Indeed!”

“…”

The problem raised by Jeron was not unexpected by Allen, so he immediately stated his considerations: “Don't forget, the main target of the elves' war this time is the Dwarf Kingdom. If we let them defeat the dwarves and weaken the power of the Dwarf Kingdom, then one day in the future, the elves will not be as polite to us as they are today.”

“The last time the elves and dwarves fought, the alliance didn't pay enough attention to it, causing the dwarves to suffer considerable losses in that war. But this time is different, the alliance will most likely invest resources and manpower into the Northern Territory, so we can't just do nothing like last time.”

“If the Dwarf Kingdom is severely damaged again this time, the balance of power on the Taren Continent will inevitably tilt again. Then, when the next war breaks out, I'm afraid the price we pay to intervene and maintain the balance will be even greater!”

“Other tribes in the alliance can sit on the sidelines, after all, they are not on the front line and don't have to worry about the threat of the elves or dwarves. But we tribes in the Northern Territory cannot be so short-sighted, because no matter which side is too strong on the Taren Continent, it is a huge threat to us.”

“So we must participate in this war, and we will help whoever is weaker!”

“Won't targeting the elves cause them to retaliate and invest more troops in us, wouldn't that be like playing with fire?”

The kobold warlock representative of the Urok tribe frowned and raised a big question.

“Therefore, the dwarven delegation is still stationed at Fort Mür. I asked Brennan to keep stalling them, just to personally sign a closer military alliance with the dwarves.”

“So that's how it is!”

“Your Excellency had already thought of these things?”

Although Allen's answer cannot be said to be perfect, it is indeed convincing. At this time, when he continues to make requests and asks the tribes to cooperate in carrying out the preparations, everyone will have fewer disputes.

“. In the future, a large number of soldiers and supplies should be sent to the Northern Territory. I hope everyone will prepare in advance and arrange things like military camps and officers in advance to avoid problems when the time comes.”

“Your Excellency!”

The representatives present were slightly stunned, and then looked at the gnoll with their own thoughts.

“My gains from personally participating in the war in the south this time have also been significant. The strength of an army is greatly related to the commander's ability, but it is even more related to the middle and lower-level officers!”

“People have always said that the warriors of our wilderness are a rabble and are vulnerable, but this time when I led that army pieced together from countless scattered tribes and invaded human territory, the fighting spirit and combat power displayed by this group of wilderness warriors was the strongest I have ever encountered in the wilderness army!”

“The reason for this is that the middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers are on good terms with each other, and there is no gap between the top and bottom! Therefore, this time, I plan to directly and firmly control the army that the alliance dispatches to my Northern Territory in my hands, so that there will be no more chaotic situations where each fights on their own!”

“And to achieve all of this, we need to work together with one heart and cooperate!”

“Understood!”

“We will listen to Your Excellency!”
