In enemy territory

In front of a long line of creatures stationed in front of the entrance to a village, a demon was examining what they brought as loot, this demon tall and imposing, it was easily two meters tall, its skin was a mottled gray color and a horn stood firmly on its forehead, its two lower canines were so long that they protruded from its mouth and were slightly curved.

On his horrible face there was a nasty scar, which made him even more terrifying than he had been and the domineering aura that emanated from him dissuaded any weaker creatures from approaching him.

He was an ogre.

And yet…

In front of him was a goblin or rather a hobgoblin in front of him, who did not inspire confidence in him, this goblin was a little different from those who lined up in front of him, behind these eyes one could suspect a certain intelligence which was almost suspicious.

And what's more, it was accompanied by some extraordinary loot.

A half-human and an awakened one at that!

"How did he get it?" The ogre wondered.

"How was he able to capture her without inflicting serious injuries?"

Gauging with his mana, the ogre noticed the amount of mana the hobgoblin possessed, he quickly concluded that he would be able to do it, due to this crazy amount of essence, it won't take long for this little creature to evolve .

And also this hybrid aberration which yes served as loot, if he offers it to the lord, he will be granted a wish, so this little guy could call himself lucky.

Opening the door wide, the creature let in, the hobgoblin and his prisoner – the half-ogress – entered the village later.

Pinching the young woman's back, the creature whispered in her ear;

"Yadha, now that we are inside, everything depends on how you will be ready to do anything to save them, I will do my part"

"I still can't believe we were able to infiltrate their base so easily, is that arrogance?" The young woman asked, incredulous.

Cliff was silent for a few seconds, he too honestly didn't know if this plan was going to work, he had just decided to bet everything on this plan.

"At the same time I can understand them, individually they are several times stronger than an ordinary hobgoblin whose form I took, in his head he is thinking what could happen to them, what- "What a creature as insignificant as we could do to them, as soon as he still felt in the position to crush us like gnats, then he had no reason to be suspicious" he said, lightly pushing Yadha on the back. , to show a little violence in order to play the game.

"And also…" he continued "it's true that it was easy for us to get in, let's hope it would be just as easy for us to get out."

With a slight nod of the head, the young woman agreed, and they continued on their paths... During their walks they encountered several ogres, Cliff crossed the crowd bowing and in front of them, he forced Yadha to do so, or at least that was what they made it appear.

As they penetrated deeper into the village, a small, innocent breeze carried with it the putrid smell of the corpses of all kinds of monsters which hit them directly in the face, causing their faces to twist in disgust.

Suddenly the ground shook beneath their feet, Cliff and Yadha braced their legs, together they avoided wobbling, as their eyes searched for the cause of this sudden tremor, the moment Cliff turned his head to his left side, He saw an ogre lying in the middle of the crater, while another had put his foot on his head and he raised his point in the air in victory.

And at the same time, an assembly of voices joined in glorifying this warrior, and then the crowd was heard shouting words that seemed of little comfort to Cliff.

""Finishing blow!!!! »»

Without even hesitating, the winning ogre took the loser by the head, and raised him in front of him, with his other hand his rights were spread in the form of claws in a horribly violent movement, he pierced his chest, he immediately withdrew him with his essence stone in hand.

Cliff was so stunned that he had forgotten for a few seconds his objective in entering here and without warning him, doubt invaded him.

"Am I really capable of doing this, wasn't I too arrogant?"

Following suit, Cliff felt the scrutiny of the other ogres targeting him, suddenly, he was silent, a shiver ran down his spine, when he saw the victorious ogre walking in his direction.

Unlike those he had seen when he entered the village, this ogre had two horns, its size was slightly larger and its appearance was more human than the others.

Cliff stood frozen as the creature moved forward, eyeing him hungrily, as if he were a piece of meat.

And suddenly the voice of the creature reached him, like a roar of thunder.

"Hey, you goblin, come here, the master asks to see you!! »
