Chapter 78 - Matter Of Relocation (1/2)

”Chief.” Upon seeing his Chief, Ulain slightly nodded in greeting. His stoic expression not betraying a trace of his emotions.

Chief Mein nodded back in greeting, before focusing back on the serpentine.

That's right. He had no time to daydream or brainstorm the reasons behind the serpentine's enmity with the dark lord. He had an important task to accomplish. The survival of the Pink Goblins depended on it.

Straightening his posture, Chief Mein seriously looked at the young serpentine as he considered how to bring up his request to relocate the Pink Goblins. In the Nar realm, significant matters such as the relocation and settlement of races were taken by the elders of race.

As the ones who would be overseeing the whole relocation and resettlement procedures, the elders were responsible for scouting habitable environments. However, of the Pink Goblins elders, only Ulain remained.

As such, Chief Mein was left with no choice but to request the serpentine for assistance. However, the moment his gaze fell on her youthful appearance, unconsciously feelings of doubt surfaced in his heart

'Such a young serpentine, does she have the ability to accomplish such a feat?'

Even though she had power, relocating a race was a matter that required experience.

A task that took a hundred of elders to successfully carry out, would a single serpentine be able to accomplish it? Was he thinking too highly of her?

His heart tightened in worry.

'Oh, forget it! Since she is from the Snake clan, one of the six supreme clans within the Nar realm, she will likely have the support of the serpentines. With the Snake Clan's elders' assistance, relocating the Pink Goblins would not be a problem. Now, he just had to think of a good reason to persuade her to help them.'

He secretly sighed in frustration, his brows wrinkling in worry.

As a result of his new status as her servant, his request had a high chance of being turned down. But for the Pink Goblins, he still wanted to try his luck.

Since she still had use for the Pink Goblins, maybe she would agree to his request?

He thought optimistically.

”Chief Mein, are you going to say anything?” The serpentine's vexed hiss startled him, almost causing him to jump in fright.

Looking accusingly at her, he saw her lips curl in amusement as her violet eyes gleamed mischievously.

Obviously, the serpentine caught his slight shift in movements and facial expressions, enjoying her effect on his mindset.

Ian and Ulain glanced at him in confusion, unaware of his silent confrontation with their new master.

”Ahem!” He loudly cleared his throat, feeling his cheeks burning in embarrassment.

Afraid of creating a bigger blunder and making a greater fool of himself before the flame-haired female, Chief Mein gathered his thoughts and decided to get straight to the point.

”Since you already know me, I will not introduce myself. As for the decision to work as your underlings, I have no opinion on the choices Ulain made. If our positions were to be reversed, I would have made the same decision. The Pink Goblins can be slaves to another race of the Nar realm, but they will not be the puppets of the dark lord!” He wrathfully snarled, his pointy goblin canines sharp under the bleak sky.

Ian bowed his head, his father's words feeling more like a reprimand aimed at him than a declaration towards the serpentine.

There was no change in Ulain's expression. He and his chief usually shared the same opinion on most matters. As such, he was not surprised by the approval of his choices.

”That is exactly what I expected to hear from you, Chief Mein.” Versailles nodded in approval.

The goblin chief did not disappoint her. He turned out to be exactly as she perceived him, stoic and firm in his beliefs. From his perspective, any race in the Nar realm could be tolerated, and even slaved for when necessary.

But working for the dark lord?

That was a major taboo from his perspective.

Versailles would not be surprised if the goblin made a declaration of extermination for any race in association with the dark lord. Fortunately for her, he was exactly the kind of recruitment leader she sought.

One full of abhorrence and disgust for the lord of the dark shadows.

Only then, would she be able to form a force of unimaginable might and power, comprised of the most lethal and deadly races.

Chief Mein calmed down his emotions, before continuing solemnly.
