The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1269

After the meeting, Allen had a clearer understanding of the situation of the entire Greenfield tribe and even the North.

Although the development of the tribes and the North was not as good as they had envisioned, it was not far off. After years of development and planning, the Green Field tribe and its subordinate vassals alone had a population of over 5 million. Including the Abyss tribes that had migrated there, the total population of all the tribes in the North was 40 to 50 million.

This was thanks to the Wilderness Reform initiated by Allen, which gave more small and medium-sized tribes room to develop and grow. Over the past hundred years, these originally weak tribes, which were not favored by the Alliance, have continued to grow stronger, bringing great vitality to the Wilderness and contributing greatly to the growth of the population in the North.

The larger the population base, the greater the potential for war; wars are ultimately about population and resources.

Even though the wilderness is barren, the resources buried underground are not much different from those on the other two continents. In fact, because it originally came from the kingdom of gods, the resources stored underground are always mixed with many more precious things.

However, over the years, the small and weak tribes in the wilderness have lacked the knowledge and skills for mining and exploration, and their population base is extremely small, so they do not have enough labor force and are unaware of the treasure they possess.

As the Mansa Alliance and the Church of Nature began to promote indigenous education, sharing seemingly unimportant but common-sense knowledge with the entire wilderness, the indigenous people who returned to their respective tribes after completing their studies discovered a surge of previously undiscovered resources in their own territories.

The war on the northern border of the Elven Kingdom has become less strenuous due to the increased war potential in the entire northern territory. People have gradually become accustomed to losing tens of thousands of soldiers in a single battle.

Although the tribal leaders still felt the pinch, at least it didn't cripple the tribes. In a few years, the tribes would be able to recover and even increase their population simply through natural reproduction.

However, due to the Northern counter-offensive and territorial expansion, the members of the various tribes in the Thorn Ring were no longer restricted by the Alliance's reform charter. They could obtain an enclave on the occupied lands and freely develop and exploit the elven kingdom's abundant lands and resources.

Under the Thorn Ring, the high-ranking members of each tribe have their own territories in these enclaves. If they feel they are strong enough or do not want to be restricted, they can also separate from the tribe and become manor lords or town leaders who accept the leadership of the tribe but also have a certain degree of autonomy.

The advantage of this approach is that it provides a risky but also liberating escape route for many vested interests without jeopardizing their own gains. Meanwhile, the new generation of tribal leaders can manage their tribes more calmly and effectively, freely utilizing the management skills they learned at the Green Lake Academy to better develop their respective clans.

After the meeting in Green Lake City concluded, Allen traveled to important towns such as Fort Fart, Rapids Bay, Mulphill, and Namur to inspect the situation in these outposts and to listen to reports from the leaders of the regions.

As the de facto leader of the tribe and the Thorn Ring for many years, Albad, though focusing most of his energy on the war against the Elven Kingdom in the north, still made time to listen to reports from the tribe's various important strongholds and to inspect the Green Fields tribe's various regions. In any case, for Albad now, after ascending to demigod status, not only have he been able to cast more spells, but his specialization in electric magic has also enhanced his flight speed. The vast distance between the border battlefields and the heartland of his homeland doesn't actually take him much time with his current speed.

Of course, the tribe's continuously improving management and promotion system over the years has also cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for the tribe and even the members of the Thorn Ring organization. This is the solid foundation for the thriving scene of the tribe and the North today.

Even though Albad focused more on the front lines, the tribe, under the management of these talented individuals, not only supplied the front lines with a large amount of strategic materials but also prevented its homeland from suffering too much from the war.

Meanwhile, at Namur Fortress, Allen also took the initiative to appear at the headquarters of the Thorn Ring organization, requesting and presiding over an organizational meeting. Upon hearing that Allen, the Lord of the North, had taken the initiative to summon them, the leaders of the various member tribes within the organization personally came to attend, both to witness Allen's identity firsthand and to prove their loyalty to the Lord of the North.

The Thorn Ring organization claims to be a loose alliance, but in reality, over the years the Green Field tribes have infiltrated and influenced it in many ways, including economics, military affairs, and culture. The relationship between the tribes within the organization is no longer just a simple tribal alliance, but rather more like a closely united family.

Led by the Greenfield tribes, trade caravans have enabled the various tribes of the North to amass vast wealth and resources through trade with the four great civilizations and the tribes of the Mansa Wilderness. Talented individuals trained in the Greenfield tribes' specialized academies have distinguished themselves in their respective tribes, becoming the backbone of their forces, with some even rising to the ranks of elders or leaders. Furthermore, the continuous victories achieved in border wars have demonstrated the power of specialized military forces, making the united army a mainstay in protecting the interests of the Northern tribes…

With so many intricate relationships with the Green Field tribe, and with the Green Field tribe infiltrating and influencing every aspect of their lives, how could the high-ranking members of the Thorn Ring organization not know? Although they nominally maintain independence, they have long since become loyal supporters and followers of the Green Field tribe.

At least by following the Green Field Tribe, everyone can reap substantial benefits, enjoy a stable life, and have a bright future. Such a life is quite good!

Whether the higher-ups were willing or not, the people of all races in the middle and lower classes wholeheartedly supported and cherished such days, and regarded being a member of the North as an honor and a superior status.

At the same time, more and more small tribes in the wilderness were attracted by the relatively fair, peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the North and migrated from afar. Even if they could not settle down on the original lands of the North, but had to go to the more dangerous occupied territory of the Elven Kingdom, many families and tribes still went.

While the occupied border regions are dangerous and turbulent, they are also richer in resources than the wilderness. Even a small settlement or tribe that does not engage in production but relies solely on hunting and gathering can usually ensure that the vast majority of its people have enough to eat.

Not to mention settling on the border, the Northern Alliance would send special personnel to help the migrating tribes choose sites, build castles, teach them relevant land reclamation knowledge, sell or lease basic farm tools and seeds at low prices, etc., so that everyone could quickly adapt to the environment and life and take root in this land.
