Chapter 23: Plotting



Rhyuku explained to Aldritch all he knew from why the ogres kept the goblins as slaves to where they lived, the internal structure of the place and everything in between. In just under an hour, Aldritch had learned plenty about his enemies. Surely, information is power.

Aldritch had an idea immediately and shared it with Rhyuku, after all he was the one to execute it.

"You will contact the ogres and tell them of our presence."

"About this, lord, I have already done so from the first day you arrived."

'This two faced...' He couldn't be blamed...

'There's no way to get them to mobilise their army the way I want.' This was simply because the goblins weren't a threat. Maybe the hobgoblins would be, but just a bunch of the ogres could take care of the entire goblin tribe.

After some thoughts, Aldritch decided. "Send another report saying that this time a warrior tribe has arrived and taken over the area. They are all powerful hobgoblin warriors numbering about 30, and more are set to come in a week's time, taking their numbers up to 60. They have decided that in a week's time also, they will set out to conquer more of the other territories around them.

Tell them this, exactly as I have said."

The ogres were close in proximity and were definitely a bordering territory to the small goblin tribe. Now even, the goblin tribe was within their territory.

With that, Aldritch discussed a little bit more before leaving. The massage would reach the ogres in less than half a day since their village was a day's journey away on foot, the same could not be said on a mount. With this, Aldritch waited patiently for a few days before making his move.

The plan was simple, get the ogres to make a drastic move towards the goblin village. It was true that the goblins were weak, but a hobgoblin was an evolved monster and was far stronger than a goblin. A goblin would only have the physical strength of an early teenage humans around 13 years old, while a hobgoblin could be comparable to a human that has undergone some training.

Even then, a hobgoblin warrior was another story. They were even more powerful than the normal hobgoblins. One of these guys may even be able to take down two regular ogres and give trouble to warrior ogres enough to tire them out, even though they lose in the end.

The main problem was that, warrior goblins were not monsters that simply crawled out of wells. After this message reach the ogres, they will probably take it an over-exaggeration and therefore will not believe it, after all, how can a monster type that has lower than a 0.001 percent chance of appearing suddenly show as an army no less, simply unthinkable.

For this very reason however, Aldritch was counting on one of the elders of the ogres that Rhyuku assured him would definitely insist they send a scout to see if it's true.

Of course, he didn't forget to also input a command in there that would turn the particular ogre into his puppet if he wished.

With that, Aldritch jumped back into the three and after making a signal sound by snapping his finger, the ogre woke up.

Completely drenched in terror, the ogre dragged itself back where it came from, with the sole mission of delivering the message to his superiors.

'I just hope he doesn't die on the way there, the smell of blood is thick after all.'
