Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1102: Giving control (2)

There was a stunned and confused look on Duke Nergiante's face when he heard this.

He looked at this person that he recognized, this person who had left a deep impression the last time that he came to the Nergiante Dukedom.

With the way that he looked at him, it was as if Duke Nergiante just couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The way that he looked at him, it was almost as if he was meeting him for the first time and trying to figure out just what he was.

This person was the king of the Kite Kingdom, Zwein.

When I saw him looking at me like this, there was a faint smile that appeared on my face before asking him, "So does that mean that you're not ready?"

Duke Nergiante didn't seem to react at first, but then he slowly asked, "Ready for what?" I pointed at the hobgoblin zombie and said, "To become that thing's master."

"Huh?" There was a look of absolute confusion on Duke Nergiante's face when he heard this.

He could understand the words that were coming out of my mouth individually, but when they were put together like this...

It was as if they just made no sense at all.

But then again, this was something that no one would have been able to understand simply since the understanding that humans had was that monsters couldn't be controlled.

The understanding of monsters that humans had was that they were creatures that only wanted to cause death and destruction.

They were not things that could be controlled and were not things that could be used. They could only be destroyed before they could hurt anyone.

Seeing the look that was on Duke Nergiante's face, I could guess what he was thinking.

So I just said, "It's different from what you're thinking. This hobgoblin can be controlled and it can control the other goblins."

Doubt appeared on Duke Nergiante's face as if he couldn't believe this.

I just calmly waved my hand at the hobgoblin and it stopped kneeling to stand up behind me.

I didn't even look back at it as I just simply gave it a signal with my hand.

At that, the hobgoblin turned to look at the goblins and it gave a grunt.

Once they heard this grunt, the goblins immediately reacted.

All of them suddenly stood up and then moved around as if they were following a pattern. After watching them for a bit, Duke Nergiante understood what was happening.

The hobgoblin were making these goblins move in a figure eight formation. They were walking around to form a figure eight for whoever was watching them from above.

He never thought that the goblins would move in such a manner.

No one had actually thought that this was possible until they saw it happen with the hobgoblin.

Even we hadn't expected this to be the result when we sent these hobgoblins into the Antwerp Kingdom.

We thought that what would happen is that the hobgoblins would disrupt the monsters and make them attack the Antwerp Kingdom. We never thought that the hobgoblins would directly gain the ability to control the goblins to attack the Antwerp Kingdom.

This was something that was completely out of the scope of our expectation, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Though it was hard to figure out why this was the case.

Regardless, since it was possible to control the monsters, that meant that this was a powerful tool in the future.

Of course, there was the risk of being called a traitor to humanity for using the monsters like this.

That was a bridge that had to be crossed when the time came.

Especially since we were already using the undead in the first place.

Once the demonstration was over, I waved my hand for the hobgoblin to come over to my side.

Klein and the others still seemed a bit worried, but I wasn't worried at all.

I just looked at Duke Nergiante and said, "Now, if I tell him to follow you, he will take you as his master and follow you around." After a pause, I added, "Not just this hobgoblin, but all of the other hobgoblins as well. I'm sure that you already know about that."

Duke Nergiante was a bit surprised to hear me admit this, but he slowly nodded in agreement since he had already heard the news.

If the hobgoblins really could be controlled, then that would mean that they wouldn't have to worry about the monsters that were in the Antwerp Kingdom.

If they couldn't take care of the monsters, then it might be hard for them to hold this Antwerp Kingdom even if they were to take it over.

But now they were given the perfect solution to solve this problem.

Duke Nergiante hesitated a bit, but he eventually nodded in agreement to becoming the master of the hobgoblin.

I just gave a simple nod before pulling out the Orb of the Dead.

This was an order that would be given directly through the Orb of the Dead instead of verbally since that would be more binding.

Duke Nergiante looked a bit afraid when he saw me pulling out the Orb of the Dead, but he didn't say anything as he waited for me to do what I needed to do.

The look on his face was almost as if he looked like he was prepared to sacrifice his soul if it was necessary, which I found a bit funny.

It wasn't that serious.

The hobgoblin suddenly turned to Duke Nergiante and looked at him with a strange look before falling to one knee in front of him.

Duke Nergiante was taken aback seeing this, but then he slowly looked at me as if he was confirming something.

I just gave a nod before saying, "He recognizes you as his master now. You can give him an order to test it."

I just silently watched as Duke Nergiante tested this by giving an order to the hobgoblin.

Though what he didn't know was that this was only temporary control.

If I wanted, the hobgoblin would immediately turn on him and follow my orders.

But he didn't need to know that.
