Checking the notification again, it wasn't a mistake, it really said ghoul. Aldritch didn't really know what to make of it.
'Doesn't that mean she's more useless now? She was a freaking mage or something.'
The ogres already had a hard face to look at, but now Iilogar looked even worse.
'How do you even kill it now?' He thought to himself.
[You can always put to rest those that are part of your family, as the head]
'That's convenient.'
Even then, Aldritch still felt like there was some use left for her.
'Heh, it's useless now.' He thought to himself.
'System, how do I even get to warworld?' Aldritch asked, but as usual, he got no response from the system.
He just forgot about that for the time being and focused on what was before him right now.
'Right now I'm already past my limit with hypnosis, I can't control anymore, and apart from being meat shields, they really don't have any use.'
Looking at Iilogar before him, standing like a half-witted creature, stiff and expressionless, he just turned and exited the tent.
'Wait, if the ogres have killed all the goblins, I should be able to put more into control.'
Since the priestess was already out, Aldritch got the guards outside to go gather every one of the ogres in the camp.
Once they gathered, he put all of them in to a hypnotic state and sucked them dry of their blood that they were near death state. There was no longer any need keeping them alive.
There were about a hundred and fifty ogres, almost all of them were female, telling Aldritch that the warriors that left for the goblin village were their males. As he sucked their blood, he would inject them with the catalyst. Just as he expected, none of them became a vampire, they all turned into vampire ghouls.
Well, he did this for a reason. First, he wanted to see just how many he could control, it was crucial knowing such things or future knowledge, since it would be some time before he would be increase his racial rank.
After turning all the ogres, about 150 of them, Aldritch could already tell that his control over them was very fragile. It was strongest in Lina and started reducing further as he turned more.
'Interesting. It feels like they would be unable to go against my orders normally, but now they might even act on their own.' He said in his mind.
'Now, before any other thing.' Aldritch opened up the system.

…
He quickly increased his agility to 19, making plans just in case he had to escape. Right now was not the time for foolish pride. It might look like over preparation, but everyone was better off safe than sorry. After all, he had no idea how much of warriors the other ogres were, whether their mind and will was more powerful, after all, warriors had strong wills.
Aldritch didn't even need to wait that much longer before the troops showed and he caught their figures from the horizon, well, the topography wasn't the best in such forested regions, so the horizon wasn't really the horizon.
While Aldritch waited for the ogres to arrive fully, the ogres themselves had noticed a change.
"Chief, something smells off." His second in command complained. He wasn't the only one, everyone else had also noticed that something was off.
"Yeah, I noticed." The chief said.
For one, they would have seen some ogres on their way, after all, this was around their patrol hour, but they had come across nothing like that, it was too strange.
. . .
"You have come!" Aldritch said in a powerful voice carrying force all through the camp.
'What is the meaning of this? Something is wrong here.' The chief thought, coming to a halt.
'How am I understanding a human?'
"Chief, this place, our people…." The chief's assistant said.
"You think I can't see that?" the chief was already annoyed, and he was on the verge of boiling over.
For one, he had come back to an annoying sight, his people didn't even look alive, they resembled walking corpses. If anything was clear, they had been enslaved.
"Human, what is the meaning of this?" The chief asked, going with the smatter choice, dialogue.
'The chief is speaking with him? What is happening?' Well, it would seem the second in command of the chief wasn't as smart as his leader. He clearly could not see what his leader was seeing, his sight was too short.
The reason was simple, the first thing the chief saw were his own people standing behind Aldritch. The only reason he could think that would happen was that, 'how did he manage to take them all as captives?' The number was too much. Not only that, they didn't look normal anymore, he had never seen anything like it.
If it was true that the person before him had captured his people and caused them not to retaliate and even stand by him, it only meant that he was capable at the very least, which proves his strength, so it was natural for him to want to be careful, although, it would seem that he was the only one having such rational thoughts.
"Lina…" Aldritch called out. There was no need for a conversation between them since he was going to kill them anyway.
'This human is dangerous, I can tell that much, but just how dangerous is he. He can communicate with us, which has been impossible so far, and he can even control the hearts of many.' The chief was perplexed, but regardless, he would have to ask, because Aldritch showed no intention to reason with them.
