The First Vampire - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Plan 595_1
 

Prince Abbas was startled for a moment.

He carefully examined Colin’s face, seeing that he was not joking, he carefully advised:

“Count, a Half-Troll is not a Half-Elf, they have such a small population, how would they establish a kingdom …”

Indeed, unlike elves, trolls fall into the aesthetic spot of humans, thus making brave humans who dare to mess with trolls a rarity.

Colin had made a special study beforehand; the total number of Half-Trolls is only about twenty to thirty thousand, which at most is the size of a village. To establish a Half-Troll Kingdom is far from sufficient.

“The Half-Troll Kingdom may not all consist of Half-Trolls.” Colin explained casually, “In my vision, Half-Trolls will become the nobles of this kingdom, or the ruling class, as for the commoners, they can still be Trolls.”

The face of Prince Abbas suddenly became even more bizarre, he restrained himself from showing any sign of ridicule on his face, and carefully admonished:

“Count, pardon my bluntness, but I fear no Troll would recognize those dirty and lowly Half-Trolls as nobles, let alone accept their rule.”

But it seemed like Colin had already come up with a detailed plan, then he started to explain slowly and patiently:

“What if I declare now, that I support the Half-Trolls to establish a kingdom in the Sky Ice Plain, right at the former location of the Troll Empire before they migrated north? And Gaurava Volkin, the son of the Troll Emperor, would be the king. Would the Half-Trolls join?”

“Of course they would. Those Half-Trolls are discriminated against in the Troll Empire, now given a chance to instantly become nobles, of course, they would be more than willing to go.” Prince Abbas nodded, then shook his head, “But no Troll would want to go there. If only Half-Trolls are there, then this so-called ‘kingdom’ is simply a small village. What use could it serve?”

Colin gave a slight smile, and continued:

“After these wars, the Northern Territory already amassed millions of Troll prisoners and slaves. If I give these Trolls their freedom, and move them all to this newly established Half-Troll Kingdom, would they be willing?”

The face of Prince Abbas finally became serious, he pondered for a moment, then nodded:

“They certainly would. Compared to being enslaved by humans, these Troll slaves would rather choose to be a commoner in the Half-Troll Kingdom, even if they have to endure the rule of the Half-Trolls.

However, as time goes by, most of them wouldn’t be able to help but want to escape back to the Troll Empire.

According to your method, this Half-Troll Kingdom could indeed be established, but it would not rise to power. It may serve as a buffer between the Northern Territory and the Troll Empire, but that would be all it could do.

Furthermore, the rule of this kingdom would be very unstable, as the number of Half-Trolls is simply too small. They must rely on the support of the Northern Territory to maintain their own status.

So, I think what you are doing is rather unnecessary.”

“Is it?” Colin gave a faint smile, “What if the Troll Empire is in chaos, ravaged by war, and people have nothing to live for? Would the Troll civilians rather give up a peaceful life in the Half-Troll Kingdom and escape back to the Troll Empire in the north?

No, I don’t think so.

On the contrary, if the Troll Empire continues to be in chaos, more Trolls would likely come to the Half-Troll Kingdom to escape from the war.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Abbas finally understood what Colin’s so-called reform plan was all about.

I must say, the plan did sound very feasible.

Prince Abbas knew very well that the current Troll Empire was full of crises with numerous issues. Several defeats and penalties had already drained the power of the Troll Empire, and now that the desperate expedition had failed, rebellion would break out in the Troll Empire without any need for the Northern Territory to incite it once the news got back.

Once the Troll Empire is plunged into war, the Half-Troll Kingdom, established and supported by the Northern Territory, would become very appealing. Although they have to endure the rule of the Half-Trolls here, at least they can live in peace.

Don’t overestimate the courage of troll commoners.

Moreover, the truly courageous trolls have already been almost completely depleted in successive disastrous defeats.

At this rate, the Half-Troll Kingdom will rise to power on the corpse of the Troll Empire.

Once the Half-Troll Kingdom gradually becomes mighty and the status of Half-Trolls stabilizes, even giving rise, over time, to the notion among Trolls that “Half-Trolls carry a more noble bloodline”, the Troll Clan’s real survival crisis will hit.

The Troll commoners of the Half-Troll Kingdom will do everything they could to intermarry with the Half-Trolls they once despised, to achieve a higher status. The result will be a sharp increase in the number of Half-Trolls, even becoming the majority after a few centuries…

By then, perhaps the pure-blooded Trolls might become the minority or even gradually extinct.

At this thought, Prince Abbas was enveloped in chilling horror that made him shiver uncontrollably.

The handsome young man before him, with a genial smile on his face, had become the incarnation of a devil in his eyes.

This so-called “transformation plan” is actually a “Genocide Plan” that kills without shedding blood!

If this plan is put into action, perhaps after hundreds of thousands of years, the only thing left on the Sky Ice Plain will be a Half-Troll Kingdom begging for mercy in the North Territory, while the Troll Empire will completely become a thing of old legend…

Even though Prince Abbas was already a representative of the “Pro-Human Faction” within the troll empire, hearing this genocide plan still filled him with sorrow and anger.

If he wasn’t aware that he was no match for Colin Angler, Prince Abbas would have risked his life to kill this devil that might lead to the extinction of the Troll Clan.

Also, Prince Abbas had probably guessed the real reason why Colin summoned him.

The only chance for the Troll Clan to resist was not to let this Half-Troll Kingdom be successfully established, or at least not to let it grow and develop.

The Troll Empire must, therefore, maintain stability and keep its attraction to the Trolls.

That way, Troll commoners will not be forced by the war to abandon their homes and tolerate the rule of Half-Trolls, and Trolls within the Half-Troll Kingdom will gradually flee north, causing Colin’s plan to fall apart completely.

However, it’s clear that Colin also understands this key point.

“Prince Abbas, you should understand my transformation plan by now.” Colin smiled, “Only when the Half-Troll Kingdom gradually rises to power, can peace in the northern territories be genuinely ensured.

Therefore, I called you here in the hope that you can cooperate with me.

I can help you become the emperor of the Troll Empire. All I ask, in return, is that you plunge this country into turmoil. Do everything you can to incite rebellion, oppress the commoners, forcing the Trolls to live in such desperate conditions that they have no choice but to migrate south to the Half-Troll Kingdom.

In return, I can promise you that the position of the king of the Half-Troll Kingdom after Gonwara Volkin will be held for your illegitimate son.”

Prince Abbas gritted his teeth and said, “Do you think you can win me over like this and make me comply with your wicked plan?”

Colin gave a faint smile and said, “Do you really think you are my only option? If you don’t cooperate, there are plenty of trolls willing to. For example, this one…”

As his voice fell, the tent curtain was lifted, and a tall figure walked in.

He was completely shrouded in blood-red armor.

Prince Abbas, puzzled, turned around, just to see the other party slowly taking off his helmet, revealing a face that filled him with unspeakable shock.
