Finally, night came. During this period, Niu Zida learned more about the Demi-human Village and learned that this village was also a gathering place for many human refugees, beastmen, and half-elves. Originally, there was not much communication between these races, but in order to cultivate land, many people living next to each other formed villages in order to be able to fight against other villages.
This Demi-human Village was also formed in this way. At first, it was still peaceful with the village where Teva was located, but gradually, the surrounding slopes and wasteland that could be cultivated were almost all cultivated. Conflicts began to occur frequently between the two sides, until recently, they turned into armed conflicts. Some of the strong men on the human village side had been conscripted before. There were originally not many young people, so naturally they suffered losses in battle.
"Spring had already come to your place to conscript soldiers before, why haven't you been taxed yet?"
"It's not that I didn't want to, it's just that I heard that the war was lost later, and Spring didn't have anyone to send out, so he temporarily let us go. It's a pity that we have nowhere to go after escaping here. Further west is the area where beastmen and Goblins are active, and humans simply cannot live there, so we can only continue to stay here."
Teva spoke with a sad face. It seemed that if they couldn't survive, they wouldn't be willing to stay in this dangerous border area for a long time.
"Do you know who the village chief of the Demi-human Village is?"
"I know, it's a tall beastman, very strong. At first, because he could protect the people in the village from harm, he was elected by everyone as the village chief. It is said that he is very loved by everyone."
"Do you know where he lives?"
"The tallest house in the Demi-human Village is his. After all, he is a giant three meters tall. Anyone who knows their village a little knows this."
That's good. After hearing this, Niu Zida arranged for Yor to lead the Goblin Assassin to sneak in and find the village chief's location according to Teva's description, and subdue the village chief before the attack was launched.
"Be sure to pay attention, don't kill him. You only have 10 minutes. I will start attacking the village 10 minutes after you leave."
Niu Zida specially instructed Yor. Yor nodded and led the Goblin Assassin into the darkness. Niu Zida waited for about 10 minutes before leading the Goblin Army to approach the village. At this time, there was almost no light in the village, and they had no idea that the Goblins were approaching.
Seeing that the other party was completely unprepared, Niu Zida let Misato Shizuku lead the Goblin Demon Swordsman and other Goblins into the village. He rode Seretina and stayed behind with 10 Goblins and the Goblin Lightning Element Mage to guard the rear.
Misato Shizuku led the Goblins into the village. Soon, the village was ablaze with fire. The sudden attack caught them off guard, and there was no room for resistance. In the fire, you could clearly hear the screams of those who tried to resist. In the chaos, you could see a large number of short Goblin figures. Of course, Niu Zida had also given orders before that any resisting men would be killed without mercy, but women and children were not allowed to be killed or injured at will.
This raid was very fast. In about half an hour, the entire village calmed down. Niu Zida rode Seretina into the village. At this time, the beastman village chief was lying tied up in the center of the village square, and most of the other villagers were left with only the old and weak, who were driven to the side. There were a few humans inside, but most of them were elves and beastmen, and there were also a few short Goblins.
The villagers of the Demi-human Village trembled when they saw Niu Zida appear. After all, Goblins are synonymous with wretchedness and brutality in everyone's impression.
"Have all the prisoners from the previous human village been released?"
"They have been released, a total of 3 people."
"Weren't they hurt in any way?"
"No, although they still suffered a lot, they are fine."
"You must not hurt my villagers..."
Watching Niu Zida inquire about the situation of the human prisoners who had been rescued, the bound beastman village chief shouted loudly on the ground, looking very irritable. Yor had subdued such a strong beastman in just a few moves. He was really amazing, Niu Zida thought in his heart.
"You attacked the human village in the territory, so of course you will be punished."
"Are you a Goblin also a human lord?"
"Now Dore Territory is under the control of Goblins. No matter what race, as long as they recognize the rule, they are my people. Of course, I will take care of them if they are attacked. But you, you dare to attack the lord's territory, what should be your crime?"
After Niu Zida finished speaking, he glanced around at the villagers of the Demi-human Village who had been captured. These people were hiding in the corners, trembling, surrounded by ferocious, short Goblins with weapons. In fact, Niu Zida just wanted to scare this group of Demi-humans here. His idea was to subdue this Demi-human Village this time and forcibly relocate them to his territory to enrich the population.
"What do you want?"
"Attacking the territory of a noble, such a crime is not light, right..."
Niu Zida deliberately put on a ferocious
smile, creating a terrifying atmosphere. In fact, he just wanted to put pressure on the Demi-human villagers, so that after announcing the relocation, they would find that they were only tenant farmers when they arrived in the territory, which was much higher than expected, which would help maintain law and order. Seeing that the acting was almost over, Niu Zida was ready to stop. Just as he was about to announce the relocation, a delicate shout from the crowd stopped him:
"Don't move the villagers, I am willing to atone for everyone."
Niu Zida looked over in the direction of the voice, and unexpectedly it was a petite elf with long golden hair, in addition to the elf's signature pointed ears and sweet appearance, she also had snow-white skin, bright azure eyes, and smooth golden hair like silk, making the girl look like an angel.
"You want to atone for them?"
Niu Zida immediately realized that this was a good opportunity, so he deliberately showed a smirk and asked the beautiful girl. The beautiful girl paused, took a deep breath, as if forcing herself to calm down, and then said firmly:
"I am willing to exchange myself, please forgive the villagers."
"Use yourself as an exchange, that is to say, give your body to me, become my maid, and obey my orders in the future, right?"
"Yes."
Hearing the beautiful girl answer Niu Zida like this, the other villagers began to object:
"Lululu, you can't sacrifice yourself like this."
"How can you make a deal with a Goblin? Those things have no credibility at all."
"Sacrificing just you like this..."
So, this beautiful girl is called Lululu. (From 'High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World!')
"It's okay, everyone. As long as everyone can be saved, I'm fine with anything..."
"This is what you asked for, are you sure you want to use yourself to exchange for the safety of the villagers?"
"I'm sure..."
Hearing Niu Zida's pressing question, the beautiful girl called Lululu nodded firmly again, without the slightest regret...
