In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

Honestly, these words sound so outdated.

No matter how Rimuru listened to it, he felt that this sentence was full of malice, and there was an indescribable strange feeling, as if he was hinting at someone, and it sounded like he deserved a beating.

"We're obviously not short of money, or rather, we're quite well-off. We're much better off than before."

"The Lizardmen are already suffering enough. There's no need to exploit them too much, right?"

Not greedy at all.

Green sometimes feels that these Japanese time travelers can be a little darker, otherwise he will seem like a complete bad guy. Am I, Master Green, that kind of person?

"Well, according to the laws of the subhuman race, the strong prey on the weak. The already weak lizardmen will be devoured by other races. They are very lucky to have your protection and avoid being wiped out."

"As for the resources given to us, this is also a form of the survival of the fittest. Isn't this normal?"

real or fake?

Rimuru looked at his other subordinates and saw that they all looked unsurprised. Although they also thought that Green was just talking nonsense and asking for more resources, the saying that the strong prey on the weak was true. Their side provided protection for the Lizardmen, so wasn't it natural for the other side to provide resources?

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for us to fight for our lives while the lizardmen would hide behind us and make a fortune.

Soon the news that the Lizardmen pledged allegiance to the forces of the Jura Forest spread, and for a time a storm arose. As expected, is the Slime King hiding in the forest going to show his fangs?

They had long thought that the powerful Cute King's forces would eventually expand. Yes, accepting the allegiance of the Lizardmen was, in their view, expanding their power.

The other tribal forces were also hesitant for a while. If these weak forces were not protected, they might be crushed like weeds in the future.

Who should I be loyal to?

Is it the weakened Silver Werewolf? Or the Pig-Headed Man? Or a rising power like Rimuru?

No one wants to think about the Silver Werewolves anymore. The poor and crazy Silver Wolf Clan is not worthy of loyalty. If it weren't for their lack of strength, some tribes would want to stab them in the back and take their former masters as their prey.

Don't even mention the pig-headed man, he's so scary.

A bunch of poor, hungry guys.

I'm really hungry!

Recently, more than eighty pig-headed people have been gathered in the cage. There are more than eighty pig-headed people in total, including two dozen pig-headed people and three pig-headed people. Originally, this group of pig-headed people could only eat dirt and shit to survive, and were raised as livestock by various tribes.

But with the Pig-Headed Emperor and Empress, these bastards actually became human beings and were madly wanting food.

Therefore, they did not let go of any food from the tribes that were their vassal states, and even the starving villagers were not spared and ate them all together.

Two hundred thousand! Two hundred thousand pigs is a terrifying consumption even if they are eaten freely. It has placed a heavy burden on these small tribes. If this continues, everyone will starve to death.

So terrifying.

After that, no tribe was willing to voluntarily pledge allegiance to the Pig-Headed People.

Everyone misses the days when pig-headed people ate dirt and shit like animals.

Hey.

Things are different now, the pig-headed people have risen.

There is no way. Unless they have no other choice, they are absolutely unwilling to be loyal to the Pig-Headed Man, but the remaining two targets are not good targets either.

Until later, somehow news gradually came out that the conditions for the Lizardmen's vassalage did not seem to be too harsh, and some small tribes also began to consider Rimuru.

The most direct event was that the Lizardman Tribe received weapons support. Although they paid a lot of price, they finally got precious weapons.

Seeing this, many other tribes came to join them. Currently, seven or eight tribes have joined the Jura Forest forces, with a total population of about 30,000 to 40,000 people.

They gave themselves a nice name, the Jura Great Forest Alliance, and the leader was Rimuru.

However, although it is called an alliance in name, in reality it is just the forces of the Jura Great Forest and a few of his dogs with their own thoughts.

During this period, Green traveled back and forth between the Jura Forest and the Medici Territory. In addition to the superficial alliance, he also privately made acquaintances with many subhuman tribal chiefs and did some small business.

It's basically selling weapons and light industrial products to them.

As a price, Green will harvest prisoners of war. These subhuman tribes are about to fight to the point of losing their brains. A large number of prisoners from both sides have been captured. It would be a waste of food to keep these people, so it would be better to sell them all to him for money.

Of course, we also sell some jewelry, antiques and other things.

“This is crazy profitable!

Green nodded at the amount slightly. In just a few months, he earned three to four thousand slaves, as well as various jewelry and antiques worth twenty thousand gold coins.

"Green, aren't you afraid of divine retribution for doing this? According to the tradition in your hometown, people who commit too many sins in life will be reincarnated as animals after death, right?"

Frillian rolled her eyes at him. Although she didn't care much about trade, she had seen Green running around every day for some time and knew that what he was doing was a bit too evil. If their relationship had not reached its current point, she would have wanted to judge this scumbag on behalf of justice.

No matter how you think about it, he must go to hell!

Sell ​​weapons to the hostile subhuman tribes and make them fight to the death, and then buy cheap slaves, jewelry and other precious resources, making money from both ends.

She had never assumed the greatest malice towards the selfish human nobles, but she had never imagined they could be so despicable.

Ok?

Good guy.

Green slapped a female elf on the head in anger. "Are you cursing me? You'll be in trouble later."

You must eat the forbidden fruit!

"Divine punishment? Who will judge me? Are you talking about Aqua and the others?"

Unlike modern times, there are really gods in this world, but at the moment they seem to be a bunch of scammers.

Besides, she was, after all, a well-connected person. She was the renowned goddess of water, and according to various myths and legends of other worlds, Aqua was even a chief deity! If she were to die accidentally someday, she could at least be reborn as a descendant of a king or general through her connections.

"Humph."

Fulilian was speechless. There was no hope for this human.

The most annoying thing is that I can’t seem to win the argument.

She turned around, grabbed the quilt to cover her little butt, and prepared to go to bed angrily.

"Hey, are you really angry?"

Green turned over Fulilian who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but find it a little funny. What a kind person! If it weren't for the system and some coincidences later, he would never be with such a person.

I really deserve to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

He wanted to continue saying something, but he felt a breath rising in the room and the wind element surged, which made Green's face change.

WTF?

In an instant, Green jumped out of bed and picked up the sword hidden on the floor. Fulilian no longer pretended to be asleep and immediately switched to a fighting stance, and her staff flew over!

"Whoo~"

Finally, in the eyes of the two, a graceful figure with a faint green light appeared before their eyes. It was a mature woman with a plump figure.

Chapter 176: Tree Spirit (Part )

Her emerald green hair cascaded down over her plump hips, pushing the white-green dress high up in front of her chest. The close-fitting cut of the dress perfectly outlined her figure.

Her skin is fair and delicate, like mutton-fat jade, her shoulders are broad and straight, and her collarbone is delicate and charming, as if it can hold a bay of clear spring water.

oh oh!

That's great.

Green's eyes lit up. What a great figure, especially that ethereal and ethereal temperament. If she was found to be a traitor, she would go to hell.

But he wouldn't lose his mind because of a woman.

"who are you?"

He held the cross sword firmly, and as long as the opponent could not give a reason, he would kill him with one blow.

"Please forgive my sudden visit."

"I'm the dryad, Toreni, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Master Green, and Master Frillian."

The woman who called herself a dryad placed her hands on her ample breasts and bowed slightly, her tone full of apology.

"Hmm, tree elves? I've heard of them, but I didn't expect they really existed."

Fulilian remembered that there was a record about tree elves in the book she read some time ago. It was probably that such rare individuals would be born in large forests full of life.

Know our name?

Green raised his brows slightly. This tree elf knows quite a lot.

Seeing his confusion, Fuli Lianqiu explained the concept of the tree spirit Liu. This tree spirit was similar to the embodiment of the personality and will of the Jura Great Forest, and could monitor everything inside the Jura Great Forest at all times.

Grass.

It's such a pain in the ass.

Green's mouth twitched. "Fuck surveillance, huh? Wouldn't that expose his previous threesome?"

It's okay because Frelian is a carefree person and probably won't mind too much, but if Asuna knew about it, she would probably go crazy. Fortunately, she is a playful person and wants to experience the fun of the game again with some SAO players. Some female players formed a strategy group to explore the dungeon maze and are now not in the Jura Forest.

It’s better not to let her know. But what kind of weird setting is this? Is this a secret photo taken by the Cape Explorer?

Secret filming? Be careful or you'll be dragged into this!

At this moment the system has also completed the scan.

Scanning

Tree Spirit. Incarnation of the Forest Will

Risk level: low

"So, Miss Tree Elf, what do you want to say?"

He looked a little unhappy. Could he imprison such a being? If he cut down the trees, would it still survive?

The low level of danger means that it may not easily threaten you physically, but from the perspective of intelligence, it seems a bit too dangerous. You never know when important information will be leaked, and you may be spied on, right?

Green scanned her carefully from head to toe. Damn, this tree elf was really sweet-looking, with the figure of a typical busty beauty, and she also had a light and ethereal temperament.

Hmm, it seems a bit exciting. What's going on?

"Eh? I have a feeling you're thinking of something horrible, Lord Green. Please don't misunderstand me, I really mean no harm. I just have something to ask of you."

The tree elf seemed to sense an extremely strong malice, which made her feel a chill in her heart. Why was this? She always felt that her integrity would be lost in the next second, as if she was dragged into a cave by a group of goblins and bullied.

She swore that she had not been so scared even when she knew that the Pig-Head Emperor was in danger of destroying the forest. Was it really right for her to come find this human?

In fear, she quickly apologized from the bottom of her heart.

"You said."

The Earl raised his head slightly, looking a little arrogant.

Hey.

The woman sighed, sat on the table beside her and rested her beautiful body on it, feeling that it was very troublesome.

"Count Medici, the great dragon slayer Green, I would like to entrust you with a commission."

"Defeat the Pig-Head Emperor."

Oh?

Fight against the Pig-Head Emperor?

Green tried to analyze the tree elf's motives. Could it be that the Pig-Headed People, represented by the Pig-Headed Emperor, had set their sights on the Jura Forest, posing a threat to her life? After all, given the Pig-Headed People's ruthless nature, if they came to the Jura Forest, they might sweep away everything, chopping down all the trees and devouring all the animals.

Actually, it is not impossible. According to the information from the spies, the confrontation between the Pig-headed People and the Silver Werewolves has entered a white-hot stage. The Pig-headed People's demand for supplies is becoming more and more serious. It seems that they have set their sights on the Jula Forest.

A few days ago, a small group of pig-headed people came to spy, about dozens of people, but they were easily beaten back. But Green knew that this was just the beginning. There would inevitably be a fight between the two sides, and in the near future.

It's like two beasts fighting for prey. The smart one will drive away the hyenas that are spying on the side to prevent these trash from taking away the fruits after the war.

So Green had plans to fight the Pig-Headed Man in the near future, but of course he wouldn't say it out loud.

"You're quite good at talking to yourself. Why should I help you with this? Pig-headed people are still difficult to deal with."

"Besides, there's no need for you to come looking for us. There are only a few people in the Jura Forest, and there are 200,000 pig-headed people. What can we use to fight them?"

Green couldn't deny it. Why should I listen to you? You don't sleep with me.

"Really, you really know how to tell a joke."

"If you can't deal with the pig-headed people, I don't know who else can protect the Jura Forest."
