"We'll rest here for at least some hours before morning comes fully." Aldritch said to Lina and Rhyuku. They had gotten close to the ogre village, so they needed the strength required to put up a fight when the time came.
"Wake up you two, the time has come for us to make our move."
After walking for another seven minutes, the three of them came to the entrance to the village of the ogres, and to say the least, both villages really couldn't be compared. This one had a fence made from large wooden logs that went all around the village and from the side they were on, there was only one gate in and out of the village. There was a single log of wood that went across the gate to block the entrance of anyone, and it would definitely need to be risen by another for others to pass.
"You said there would be a guard there?" Aldritch asked Rhyuku who was more familiar with the place.
"Yes, lord. A single guard is stationed inside to man the gate and allow access into the village." He explained.
There was no other way to get through the gates, so this time it would seem like Aldritch would have to make a full on frontal attack...
"Ok, so... we go through the side..." Aldritch brought forward his final plan with a queer smile on his face. He was a bit embarrassed to use such tactics as their lord, but he was confidently embarrassed.
With such good plan, Lina and Rhyuku hide behind the bushes while Aldritch went around the fence to check for any open space where they could slip through, even though he felt such approach didn't fit his style, he was the only man for the job with his hypnotist skill.
After a few minutes, Aldritch found a suitable entrance for them and came back to inform his people. They snuck in through opening in the fence which was really a place where two logs didn't align properly.
Once they were in, Rhyuku took lead. He had a spell that would allow him detect signs of life around a certain area, so he led the way, after all he was the one with the info on where the priestess was. Yes, the ogres had a priestess; she was the magician they had wanted to bring along with them. Though she was a priestess and focused majorly in healing and buffs, she had one or two attack spells, so she was still dangerous.
They slowly and carefully navigated the village with Aldritch also applying his hypnosis where ever he deemed needed to ensure that their presence wasn't noticed.
Once they arrived at the tent of the priestess, Rhyuku realised it was empty, but this was also good news, now they could just lie in wait, so they went in.
The tent was of better quality than the rest around or those they had seen so far, except for the one meant for the chief of course, that one was even more luxurious. Once they got into the tent, they all hid themselves, with Aldritch standing closest to the door. When the Priestess returned, her guards and maids would probably do so too as they walked with her wherever she went, so Aldritch would need to act fast.
After waiting in there for almost thirty minutes, Rhyuku gave the signal with his hand to signify that they were coming towards the tent since he had sensed several people approaching.
Once the curtain covering the entrance opened, three people walked in. Aldritch immediately sprang into action, targeting the magician first with a strong chop to the side of her head. Before her body could drop as it became wobbly, he caught her and turned to the two goblinas behind her.
Without needing to say a word, they fell asleep once they looked at his eyes.
He quickly dropped the magician's body calmly on the ground, and before the goblinas dropped to the ground, he poked his head outside. The moment his eyes met with the two guards outside was the same moment the two goblinas dropped to the floor, causing a sound that alerted the guards in case they hadn't understood the situation. Not that they could do anything though, as Aldritch was faster.
"Stop. This is all normal, nothing strange is happening here, we come here often and the priestess has allowed this. You will not let anyone come in here." For the sake that the ogres were a pretty strong race and could possess strong mental fortitude, he also placed a command that would send them to sleep whenever activated, just in case the level of his skill wouldn't do the trick.
The guards went back to guarding the place as normal, so Lina and Rhyuku came out from hiding.
"These two won't be waking up anytime soon." He said pointing to the two goblinas.
"Rhyuku, heal her up and tie her mouth before you do so... No, stuff it with a piece of cloth." Aldritch ordered. "Lina, get these two out of the road like that."
Aldritch didn't need to think too much about his wonderful plan, he had it all in his head. Actually, he had made a little change to his plans, so he figured this new one would be better, 'its always better when not done through force.'
Looking at his system panel, he quickly used all the BP he had from drinking the goblins' blood to level up his hypnosis skill to level 4, costing him 700 BP.
"hehehehehehe..." the creepy laugh certainly seemed weird for Lina and Rhyuku, Lina's face even got a little flustered. 'What is this girl thinking?...' Right now he was mixed with a little pain, seeing all the BP he had saved up leave him so.
"Now, wake her up."
