The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1095

"Have you heard? Our Wild Marvin Demigod has been assassinated by humans!!"

"This matter has been spread a long time ago, how could anyone not know about it! Moreover, not only was the demigod Marvin assassinated, but even his people - the powerful Yucatan tribe was attacked by human warriors, and suffered heavy losses. Several legendary warriors died!"

In the tavern full of mixed news from all over the Mansa Wilderness, people of all races who traveled around for adventure, travel, and business gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other about the hottest things in the wilderness recently.

"This time, our wilderness has completely lost face. Several pillars and strong men from the Temple Church rushed to Yucatan City after hearing the news and tried to stop the group of daring human strongmen. But in the end, they didn't even get to meet them before they slipped back into the human kingdom!!"

"These damn hairless apes!!"

"It's damn true!! All humans are bad..."

With the help of several pillars of the wilderness and the instigation of the forces from the Temple of Nature, the news that a powerful human assassinated the demigod Marvin and launched a sneak attack that severely damaged his tribe quickly spread throughout the wilderness.

Some bards have even begun to use this event as a blueprint to compile vivid stories that seem as if they were actually there, and they are singing them in the wilderness.

But in their version of the story, the demigod Marvin behaved very bravely and heroically when facing human assassins who had the advantage in both quantity and quality, while his opponents were so shameless and dirty in their efforts to kill him.

As for the loss of the main city of Yucatan, the bards also emphasized the cold-bloodedness and brutality of the human strongmen in slaughtering women, children and young children.

As the incident and the story spread, coupled with the warriors of various tribes who had sacrificed their lives on the southern grasslands over the past hundred years, and the various relationships that had existed with the indigenous people of the wilderness, the suppressed fire of hatred in everyone's hearts was finally aroused, forming a blazing sea of ​​fire.

The first ones to suffer misfortune were the human adventurers trying to make a living in the wilderness, or the hybrids of human blood who were abandoned and unwillingly accepted by humans.

Although humans and the wilderness have been at war for more than a hundred years, there are still many adventurers with human appearance active in the wilderness, and they are not excluded or suppressed by the wilderness natives.

However, as the hatred that was deliberately provoked and magnified this time spread, these human adventurers, who originally had a relatively harsh living environment, have now become like rats crossing the street.

Even many hybrids who possessed features of other races but only looked more like humans were also caught in the crossfire. Whenever they appeared in cities where natives of the wilderness lived, they would often face hostile behavior or even be killed.

In a short period of time, human adventurers disappeared from the wilderness, and the only evidence of their existence might be the piles of corpses left in the wilderness.

And those hybrids who originally took root in the wilderness and had human blood were forced to abandon their hostile homelands and move to relatively tolerant areas.

With the fire of hatred growing, several pillars of the alliance also took action at the same time, strongly suppressing and cleansing the pro-human forces that accounted for a large proportion of the alliance.

Under threat of life, several tribal leaders reluctantly but helplessly gave up their power and handed over the throne to more radical leaders and commanders in the tribe.

Such behavior immediately caused dissatisfaction among many members of the alliance, but they did not dare to express it independently due to the power of the four pillars.

In private, several powerful demigods and above, but the super-large tribe with a very long heritage and their allies began to connect with each other and organize an alliance to compete with the four pillars.

To this end, they were not hesitant to introduce the power of the temple as a backer, because these leaders knew very well that compared with the loose alliance of several parties, they were unable to contend with the four pillars and their camp forces.

However, something happened that greatly surprised these leaders. The Temple Church, which had been trying to win over the various wilderness tribes, showed a negative attitude tacitly in response to the olive branch they extended to them.

No church wanted to get involved in this tribal conflict in the wilderness. They seemed to have changed their nature and displayed a highly neutral attitude, which made the leaders of the united camp feel bad.

Soon, they felt the strong intimidation and pressure from the four pillars and their subordinate forces. The two pillar demigods who rarely walked in the wilderness, and the new demigod Kou'er from the Green Tribe, each led legendary warriors drawn from the four pillars, and patrolled back and forth in three narrow strips of land cut out from the four tribal control areas.

In name, they said that it was to prevent the next possible attack from humans and maintain the stability of the wilderness. In reality, the legendary teams led by several demigods were more focused on putting pressure on the chambers of commerce and traveling merchants along the way, forcing them to reduce the time they stayed in the tribal territories of the non-four tribes camps.

The territories separated by the areas controlled by their four camps almost included members of other tribes that did not join their camps. Only a few tribes adjacent to the Centaur grasslands and the Orc border escaped this crisis.

The Chamber of Commerce affiliated with the Temple had naturally received instructions long ago and had already stopped trading with other tribes that were not part of the Pillar Camp.

As for other independent chambers of commerce and caravans, they were powerless to resist the tough demands of the four most powerful pillars of the wilderness and could only cooperate with the other party's demands in order to continue their normal trade in the wilderness.

Even if some chambers of commerce originally wanted to trade with specialty products that were not unique to the tribes of the Pillar Camp, once they saw their destination, they would eventually pass by it without entering, and instead go to Mansha City to spend more energy and cost to achieve their goals.

Or they may simply change their goal and purchase other wilderness specialties to replace the purpose of this trip.

It is not impossible for the wilderness tribes to rely on the output of their own territories to maintain their reproduction and life, but they will inevitably live in poverty.

After all, many necessary resources are not evenly produced in the territories of each tribe, and they still have to rely on trade transfer to exchange with other tribes and the civilizations of the two continents in order to maintain their daily lives.

Now that the four major tribes had done this, the other non-pillar tribes were very indignant at first, and sent representatives to express their dissatisfaction in the alliance parliament. Unfortunately, they were collectively ignored by the members of the four pillar camps.

Later, the legendary teams led by the three demigods took the opportunity to launch attacks, deliberately provoking trouble on the territories of these tribes, arousing the anger of the other side's strong men and causing disputes, but in the end, the other side's strong men were ruthlessly suppressed, leaving these targeted tribes feeling helpless.

At this time, the biggest problem and disadvantage of the wilderness tribe was undoubtedly revealed: without a systematic knight training system, it was impossible to gather the huge warrior groups of each tribe into a bargaining chip to fight against the powerful ones above the legendary level, and naturally it was impossible to break the brutal means of forcing the four pillar camps by force.

If it weren't for the constraints of the Mansa Alliance Charter on the four pillar camps, as well as the city fortress defense forces that each tribe has built up over the years, it is possible that the team of legendary warriors led by three demigods would be able to eliminate these non-pillar camp tribal members one by one by means of defeating them one by one.

The Temple Church, which was supposed to be the maintainer of order in the wilderness, turned a blind eye to the actions of the Pillar Camp and allowed them to do whatever they wanted, which also made the tribal leaders of non-Pillar Camp helpless.

The tribes of the non-pillar camp had a huge population base of tens of millions and enjoyed geographical advantages, but they were helpless against the teams of only dozens of strong men. They allowed the other side to force the caravans to change their routes, thus invisibly closing the trade channels of the tribes.

The leaders of each tribe do not have the courage to completely break off relations with the four pillar camps, so naturally they dare not gather the legendary strongmen of their own tribe to form a team to confront and compete with the opponent's team.

Moreover, they knew that without a demigod-level strongman in their team, it would be difficult for them to pose much threat to the other three demigod teams.

As for the tribes forming their own caravans and heading to Mansa City or border cities for trade, there would always be various accidents when passing through the territories of the four pillar camps, and only one in ten teams would be able to reach their destination safely.

One year, two years...

As the invisible blockade lasted longer, the quality of life of the middle and high-level members of each tribe declined visibly. They went from strongly supporting the ruling class's unnecessary insistence in the beginning to gradually resisting and even opposing it, which brought great pressure to the rulers of each tribe.

After getting used to a comfortable life, even the lower classes of the tribes would be unhappy to go back to the days of wearing coarse linen clothes and eating simple meals, not to mention the middle and high-level leaders who needed the quality of life to show their status.

In private, the camps where the four pillars were located were also not idle. They sent secret envoys to the boycott camp to communicate and disrupt their alliance, which was not united to begin with. Soon, some tribes could not bear the internal and external pressures and defected, moving closer to the camps of the four pillars.

Once the first member defected, there would be a second one. Faced with this situation, the members of several large tribes that were the core of the resistance camp wanted to maintain the current status quo, but due to the disparity in strength, they could only watch the existing alliance collapse.

Thirteen years later, there were only a dozen or so resistance camps left that could almost compete with the Four Pillars in terms of numbers. They were scattered all over the wilderness and were completely surrounded by the surrounding Pillar camps. It was difficult for them to make much of a difference.
