Chapter 78: Matter Of Relocation

"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.

"The reason why I am here is to request for your assistance in relocating from the Flaming Forests. Now that the dark lord failed in capturing the Pink Goblins, dark shadows are likely going to appear in swarms. Moreover, after that brutal battle, the landscape here is no longer livable." He earnestly looked at the serpentine, imploring her with his sincere gaze.

If they were not able to move out of the Flaming Forests, the Pink Goblins would go extinct before the dark lord even took action.

Since they were already willing to pay the price of continuing their race, working as underlings under another race, then they would strive to survive no matter the cost. Letting go of their pride to plead for help was a small matter. 

Ulain had also sought out the serpentine for the same matter. They needed to find a new settlement, a livable environment for the remaining Pink Goblins. Hearing his chief mention the topic before him, his tense muscles loosen in relief.

'Good. Now that Chief Mein has brought up the topic, I don't have to be anxious. The serpentine has decided to make the chief her recruitment leader. She will give his request more importance than if it was me.'

Sighing melancholy, he raised his head, sweeping his gaze over the land he had once called home. After leaving, they would never return again. The land of their ancestors would become a piece of memory for the older generation, and a tale for the younger.

His chest clenched in pain, and Ulain forcefully suppressed the tears shimmering in his eyes.

This was no time to cry. He could not break down when the survival of his race was in jeopardy. 

Clenching his fists, he bowed his head and blinked back the tears, before looking towards the serpentine. Her decision would determine the fate of their clan.

But he too, like his chief, expected her to lend a hand as she seemed to need the Pink Goblins.

Versailles felt the sincerity in the goblin chief's eyes and words. His concern and worry for his race was commendable, as expected of any leader. However, she was a bit surprised in finding the same sincerity and plea in the white-haired goblin's eyes, as well.

'Hmmm...perhaps, in my quest to prevent the dark lord's forces from growing, I inadvertently discovered hidden gems? Not one, but two!'

Violet eyes sparkling, Versailles suppressed her surging emotions. She could not let them see how delighted she was.

In this realm, survival was the ultimate goal. In the pursuit of remaining alive, beasts of every race killed, plundered, cheated, or schemed. In order to survive, there were no boundaries that weren't crossed, no relations that weren't shattered. Betrayal and conspiracy were an everyday matter.

And yet, in the desolate Flaming Forest of the Northeast region, she happened to come across two sincere and honest goblins.

The perfect leaders for her future forces.

'Is it because they were isolated from the rest of the Nar realm, not having to struggle for resources with the other races, that they are able to remain sincere and untainted?'

'Could the other ancient races be the same as well?'

Versailles' heart pounded after thinking that.

If so, then she had just found her mighty and powerful force. 

"No need to worry, goblin Chief. I was planning on shifting the Pink Goblins from the Flaming Forests, anyway. As for your new home, you and your race will need to come with me. We will be heading towards the Poison Fields." Versailles' smile was honest and pure, not a trace of malice or ill intention to be found.

The three goblins froze in shock, their hearts throbbing in their chests, as their sight filled with the mesmerizing smile of the serpentine.

They felt their souls shaking in excitement, unexpectedly reacting to her, unconsciously attracted to her. It felt like an invisible magnet was drawing, pulling their very being towards her.

They had never seen a beast of the Nar realm smile so brightly and beautifully before. The smile was one of beauty, one of life, and one of light.

It was one that had everything the Nar realm lacked.

And it was beautiful enough to captivate and ensnare even their immortal souls.

"Yes...Poison Fields..." Chief Mein spoke in a daze, his pink glossed eyes fixed on the serpentine.

"What? Poison Fields?"

It was a while later that he finally reacted with a scream, registering the accursed words he spoke.

'Poison Fields!'

Even the thought of the place made him shudder in fear. And the serpentine planned to move the Pink Goblins there.

Relocate them, there.
