(This chapter is a transition, not much content, smiley face)
The night wind in the wilderness takes away the heat of the day and cools down the world. Soon the temperature of this land will suddenly drop to more than ten degrees, making people even feel a bit chilly.
Walking by the lake, the gloomy environment could not block Allen and Pavao from enjoying the beautiful scenery. The light from the silver moon hanging high in the sky illuminated the earth, but it allowed the goblins to see as clearly at night as during the day.
"Something happened in the clan recently, so I couldn't come to see you. How are you doing?"
Allen said words of concern out of nowhere, leaving Pavao a little confused.
"Well, it's okay, I'm not hungry."
This is a true portrayal of Pavao's heart, which can be regarded as a compliment to life in the green field.
"That's good. I won't beat around the bush with you. Have you ever thought about doing it with me?"
Allen has always had some scruples about Pavao. After all, the other party was once the leader of a tribe, and now his entire tribe has been absorbed by him. Therefore, he has three options: absorbing, exiling, or simply killing Pavao. , Allen was hesitant.
That's why Mauro has always ignored Pavao, allowing the Pavao family to live as prisoners until now.
But now Allen's change in attitude comes from the sense of crisis in his heart. Allen always feels that the old guy Bonecrusher has other back-ups, and the ogre is very likely to come back. Because of the sense of crisis in his heart, Allen couldn't care about anything else at this time. He hoped that after a conversation with Pavao tonight, there would be a good result.
"I'm here right now, fucking you."
Pavao pretended to be confused and replied stupidly.
"..."
"What I mean is that if I give your family freedom and status, you will no longer be able to think about going out and settling down in our village."
If he hadn't taken a fancy to the fighting ability of Pavao and his two sons, Allen wouldn't be acting like this.
"reason?"
Seeing Allen so direct, Pavao stopped pretending to be stupid, looked into Allen's eyes, and asked solemnly.
"Do you need a reason? I want to develop our tribe and your tribe is weak."
Allen doesn't feel guilty at all. The law of the wilderness has been like this for so many years, and it has its own reason.
"Besides, now that your former clansmen are well fed and well clothed in our village, isn't it better than staying in your mountain den?"
"It's because you, the leader of the clan, have done a poor job of letting people from your clan accompany you to live a hard life without having a meal, so it's natural that you should be exterminated by me."
Allen talked about his pain point. Indeed, compared to the wealth of the Green Field Tribe, the life lived by Pavao and his friends in a valley was really bleak.
"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
Pavao still wanted to see what Allen's attitude was towards him. Mauro had not spoken to him, so it seemed that Allen, the patriarch, had made an explanation. Although he had many shortcomings, in terms of observing words and emotions, he had developed some skills when he was the leader.
"I believe that as long as our Green Field Tribe is strong enough and provides food for our people every day, you will not do anything stupid."
Although he spoke beautifully on the surface, in fact, Allen was still worried in his heart, but now his expression and demeanor could not tell at all, but he looked full of confidence.
"Okay, I promise you."
Pavao still noticed the flash of hesitation in Allen's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He had already had a desire to join him. He himself didn't care. He was in his 40s, which was not considered an advanced age among the hobgoblins. However, unless he advanced further, his physical strength would begin to decline, and he would soon become a burden to the clan. By then he was ready to wander the wilderness and resign himself to his fate.
It's just that the two children around me, one is just 16 years old, and the other is 19 years old, just old enough to mate and reproduce the next generation. It would be really unfair to the children if they were kept as inferior captives in the green field.
"But let me make things clear first. You need to fight for your status by yourself. I will also tell the tribe not to treat your children differently."
Allen had been watching the changes in the other person's expression. He was happy to see the other person agree to join him, but he also saw the helplessness on the other person's face. Thinking about the attitude towards him these days, and the previous behavior of annihilating his tribe, Allen felt hot in his heart and suddenly told him the dilemma of the tribe, lest the other party feel that he had been deceived.
"Our tribe is in some trouble during this period. We may have to fight with people from other tribes in the future. If you are unwilling to fight with us, I will let you go."
"You think about it carefully tonight and give me an answer tomorrow, whether you want to go or stay, okay."
Allen made an impromptu decision. If he forced Pavao and the others to stay in the clan for the sake of fighting strength, he would still be worried about it. It would be better to talk things out and let them choose their own path. What would happen to Lu Ye? They are all good.
"..."
Pavao was a little confused about Allen's psychology. Sometimes he was allowed to stay, and sometimes he was asked to choose. Is this a test or something?
But when he looked carefully at Allen's face, he couldn't see any expression of playfulness, only full sincerity. For a moment, he had no choice in his heart.
"Okay, I'll tell you the answer tomorrow."
Pavao simply said that he couldn't make a decision for a while, so why not take advantage of tonight to calm down and see what the other party's mentality is.
In fact, Allen himself didn't even know how he was feeling now. He was full of contradictory and complicated thoughts swirling in his heart: he was thinking about Pavao staying, but at the same time he was afraid that the other party's intention to stay was unclear; I want to kill him mercilessly, but I also feel that it is not worth it for such a character to die like this. I hope that the other person will just leave, so that I will have less worries, but I am also afraid that his ghost will linger after he leaves.
Alas, maybe this is what Philip once told himself, the responsibility and burden that he needs to bear as a patriarch and leader.
When the lives of every member of the tribe depend on him, and every decision he makes is related to the safety of the entire tribe, Allen always wants to be perfect and considerate, without killing at all. Determination and ruthlessness.
(I’m really struggling to write this chapter. I’ve read too many novels. The protagonist in the novel is decisive from the beginning, as if he makes the right choice in everything. But in the real world, there is no experience behind any successful person. After countless failures and countless wrong decisions. However, the Green Field Tribe today is too weak. As an author, I dare not let the Green Skin Tribe fail easily. This defeat is likely to be the disappearance of the entire tribe, and then the novel That's it.
Later, there was this transitional chapter. Maybe everyone was unhappy with it, but they also understood the feeling of a green-skinned person walking on thin ice step by step after becoming the leader of the clan. As he grows up in the future, he will become more mature and treat others well. The city will be more prosperous, and things will return to the kind of grace and integrity that a superior person should have. )
