Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 - Village (1)

Laying down on the rooftop of the chief's house, Lucky leisurely watched the commotion happening within the village.

As he looked down towards the village square, he could see the bits and pieces of the goblin chief along with a growing crowd of goblins.

The goblins looked shocked, terrified, and cautious.

After all, the strongest member of the village had just been murdered in cold blood.

Not to mention, his body parts were strewn all over the ground.

Then, the 3 elves entered the scene.

Since it was nearing dawn, they had limited time.

'Let's see if this works,' thought Lucky.

With his superhuman sense of hearing, he could hear the discussion taking place.

First, the elves loudly announced the terrible crimes of the goblin chief.

'Although I taught them goblin tongue over the last few weeks, they still need more practice,' he thought.

'After all, they need to master it if we want to rule this goblins....'

After announcing the chief's crimes, it was time for Lucky to bring in the guests of the show.

Entering the house, he urged a group of shivering goblins to go to the square.

"Hey! Now is the time. If you all don't go to the square on time, I'll kick your asses!" He threatened.

The shivering goblins were, of course, the chief's family. With the chief gone, only 7 of them were left.

Among the family, were 3 unusually tall and good-looking goblins.

But he then glanced towards an adult female goblin.

The chief was more of a freak than he had first thought.

'I can't believe he married his own sister and had 3 kids with her, or is that normal for goblins?'

It was a miracle that their children weren't born as genetic freaks. Two of the children were already grown women, while the eldest was a young man.

Next, he glanced at the 3 unusually tall and good-looking goblins.

Although they were still children, their height had already surpassed the average adult goblin.

'Are these elf-goblin hybrids? How does the genetics of this planet's races even work?'

He pitied the elves even more.

They hadn't told him of their children until after he told them about his new plan.

It was obvious that being impregnated forcefully by a member of a different race was an extremely shameful and painful memory.

'If I'm not mistaken, goblins reach biological adulthood at the age of 5. Considering that the elves were impregnated around 7 years ago within the same year, are these half-goblins around 6 years old?'

They still looked like children, so elven genetics clearly had a role in that.

Watching the family of 7 walk towards the village square, Lucky was already convinced his plan would work.

The real issue was what would come afterwards.

This village was part of a goblin kingdom called Orton Kingdom.

Although it was in the outskirts of the kingdom, it was still in its territory.

Exiting the house, he quickly climbed back to the roof.

'Ah, I wish I had popcorn. This is like watching a reality TV show....' he thought.

The family of the chief had entered the square.

The elves, although wearing grim expressions, showed the villagers their half-breed children.

Then, the elves began publicly interrogating the family.

The villagers, who at first were skeptical, began increasingly becoming convinced.

Even the guards/soldiers, the ones that followed the chief on his expeditions didn't object.

'Hmmm, they probably already knew about the chief's gruesome hobby.'

Looking back at it, it was already clear that the chief was a tyrannical rule when Lucky saw him electrocute one of his men using magic.

'Hmm, looks like the proposal is going smoothly,' he thought.

Here was the proposal, the vampires would take over the village. In exchange, they will give the villagers a peaceful life.

They would not need to worry about the mutants, as the vampires would take care of it.

They would also pay able-bodied villagers money if they offered their a bit of their blood using the chief's hidden wealth.

'The money gets circulated in the village's economy, and we get their blood. That's killing two birds with one stone.'

As a mage, the chief had a huge amount of wealth he kept. Mages were rare, and so the demand was high.

The chief had regularly taken on requests by the surrounding goblin nobility after all.

This was also what made this plan risky. Since the chief was gone, the surrounding nobility will be investigating what had happened.

If they discover that vampires took over the village, they would send an army to hunt down the vampires.

'It'd probably be easy for us to take care of a single army, but what if they send bigger and bigger armies afterwards?'

At some point, the maybe even the entire kingdom would deem them a problem.

Thus, Lucky had an idea. Why not let the chief's eldest son take the position as the nee chief?

After all, he was already temporarily doing it prior to the chief's return.

If the goblin nobility were to investigate, then they wouldn't find out about the vampires.

But would the son cooperate?

Lucky would make him cooperate. No, he would make the entire village cooperate.

'I have a hunch about my vampiric abilities. If it's true, then it should also apply to the elves.'

****

A few hours had passed and the sun was shining brightly.

Inside the house of the chief, Lucky and his group held the chief's family hostage.

"Choose, death or become my servant?" Threatened Lucky.

Awhile ago, Lucky had formulated how his vampiric abilities worked.

Though it wasn't super concrete, he had a general idea how it worked.

Now, he was going to experiment.

"Ella, make them all drink your blood," he ordered.

"Yes," affirmed Ella.

"Wait, start with the wife-sister," Lucky added.

"Alright," she responded.

After forcing the woman to drink her blood in a cup, she soon waited patiently.

A few moments later, the sister-wife of the chief began transforming into a vampire.

Her green skin took a lighter and paler tone. It was also slightly glowing, only noticeable in the dark.

"Go outside," ordered Ella.

Then, the goblin woman, now a vampire, hastefully went outside.

'Good, it seems she can command the ones she turned into a vampire as well. Now, let's see what happens,' thought Lucky.
