Chapter 60: Assault on the Slave Market

After Lexi explained her plan to her comrades, all of whom agreed wholeheartedly that it should work, the girls sprang into unified and coordinated motion. While Danica picked her way gingerly out onto a high outcropping of rock which would give her the most clear and direct view of the entire valley, the other three girls descended down the mountainside using a pair of ropes they had brought along for just such an occasion. Gretel clung to Samantha’s broad muscular back as the trio made their way to the bottom.

“I seriously hope this works,” she muttered to Lexi. “There’re way too many swinging goblin dicks down there for this to go wrong.”

“Fret not,” Samantha said, the ghost of a smile on her bronzed face. “So long as we adhere to the plan, it will be the greenskins who will face the very thing you fear.”

“I’m not scared of cocks,” the mage grumbled. “I’m just sick to fucking death of getting railed during just about every fight we get into. That’s all.”

“Regardless,” Lexi shot in, as her and Samantha’s feet touched down. “The plan will work. Now, you two head off and wait for my signal, OK?”

“Got it,” Gretel said, straightening her broad brimmed hat over her mass of pinned-up bubblegum pink hair.

Samantha simply nodded in assent, as Gretel placed her hand on the monk’s muscly arm and spoke the words of an incantation.

“Invisibility!”

The two adventurers shimmered for a moment, and then appeared to wink out of existence, the only trace being the soft footsteps that Lexi could hear circling off around the left side of the slave market. As quietly as possible, Lexi split off to the right-hand side of the small grove which ringed the valley on all sides. As the paladin passed by the pillories, she had to intentionally shut her mind down, temporarily making herself immune to the utter desperation that the three girls locked into bondage must be feeling, as a fresh crop of goblins came in to replace those who had just finished depositing hot loads of cum into the “free samples” so benevolently provided by the slavers.

Just a little longer, girls. I promise. With just a little bit of luck, this will all work out — for you and for my team.

At length, Lexi reached the edge of the grove nearest to the spot between the two wooden pens, where the trio of hobgoblins and their orc overseer stood. The paladin watched as another goblin walked up to one of the hobgoblins, handing him a pouch of coins and gesturing over to the female pens, indicating a small statured elf girl who stood near the cage’s corner, arms wrapped around her naked breasts, bedraggled blonde hair covering her tear-streaked face. Lexi did not need the system’s subtitles to understand what words were being passed between the two greenskins. The lewd expression on the goblin’s face said it all.

Here goes nothing.

Lexi then cupped her hands around her mouth, and made a hooting sound — her best owl impersonation — signaling both Danica as well as Gretel and Samantha that it was time to move. Danica replied with a matching hoot from her perch atop the mountainside, as did Gretel from the far side of the marketplace near the males’ pen. With that confirmation that the three pieces of her team were in position, Lexi got the ball rolling, drawing her enormous broadsword and subvocally intoning the command word for one of her new spells.

Blink!

In the blink of an eye, Lexi disappeared from the position she had been holding along the wood line just outside the valley, and reappeared directly in front of the trio of hobgoblins standing haughtily at the back of the market. The stunned hobgoblins — as well as a significant number of milling goblins nearby — gaped at the gleaming paladin who suddenly materialized in their midst. Taking full advantage of this slack-jawed stupor, Lexi let out a cry as she slit open the belly of the nearest hobgoblin with a powerful one-handed backhand slash from her blade. The stunned creature simply stood there staring at the paladin, while a steaming pile of guts spilled out of the deep wound across his gut onto the ground between his feet.

At the exact instant Lexi appeared in front of the trio of hobgoblins, Danica launched a volley of arrows at the orc overseer presiding over the market. One, two, three — her lightning fast arrows thudded into the orc’s chest, one after the other. The elf’s aim was so good and the grouping of her shots to tight that, even after the third arrow had struck, Lexi had difficulty distinguishing between the feathered shafts, being so closely positioned as to give the appearance of a single massive arrow sticking out of the center of the green beast’s chest, just above the breastbone. A gurgle of blood was the only thing to escape the orc’s lips as he sank to his knees, dumbfounded as he looked down at the feathered shafts protruding from his body. He looked up to see Lexi eviscerate the first of his hobgoblin scouts just in time to catch a final elf-made arrow directly in the eye — the iron tip shredding his brain and exiting out the back of his skull with a resounding crack, followed by a thump as his large corpse hit the ground.

Absolute chaos broke out around Lexi, as a wave of realization broke out among the greenskins that they were under attack, and that she was the one responsible. Because, although Danica had in truth sniped the orc from afar, the immediacy of a paladin appearing from nowhere right within their midst served to give a myopic focus to the greenskins’ attention — which was precisely what Lexi had been expecting.

“Die!” she yelled out, whipping her sword up with both hands just in time to parry a spear thrust, stomping down hard atop the offending hobgoblin’s instep with her heavy boot at the same time. Lexi felt a satisfying crunch beneath her foot as the creature’s face bunched up in pain.

“Gruahhh!” the hobgoblin shouted.

-2 HP (18/20)

Another of Danica’s preternaturally accurate shots rained down from above, the arrow thudding into the shoulder of the other remaining hobgoblin, dealing just enough damage to cause him to drop the spear he had been preparing to shove into Lexi’s side. With a quick salute of her sword to the elf’s perch, Lexi pivoted right into a powerful overhead chop, her blade shearing through flesh and bone, to carve off not only the hobgoblin’s arm, but also a good quarter of the torso to which it had previously been attached. Crimson blood sprayed like a fire hose from the gaping wound, dousing the crowd of goblins in a fine red mist.

-16 HP (0/20)

“Graaa!” cried out the remaining hobgoblin, as it launched a vicious swipe at Lexi’s seemingly unprotected back.

The creature’s shout, however, alerted the paladin to its intent in just the nick of time, enabling Lexi to spin on the ball of her foot in a pirouette-like motion around the blade of her sword, placing the broad flat of the blade directly in line of the slashing spear’s tip. Popping the broadsword’s tip up from the ground in a vertical arc that caught the creature square in the face, splitting its chin and excising the tip of its nose, drawing a weeping line of red up the entire center of the hobgoblin’s face. Then, taking advantage of the enormous blade’s centripetal force, Lexi spun her body around, arcing the blade in a low horizontal sweep with enough power to sever both of the goblin’s legs in one blow, slicing clean through each thigh and femur as if she were reaping stalks of wheat with a scythe. A stupid look of bewilderment dawned on the dying hobgoblin’s face as its body fell back, away from the legs which still stood straight up in their boots — fountains of blood geysering out of the wounds.

Panting from the exertion of combat, but Lexi stood within the ring of shocked goblins, covered from head to toe in the blood of the three hobgoblins she had just slain. The shocked faces of the nearly two dozen little green shotas quickly changed to masks of enraged indignation. Yes, Lexi had shown some skill in taking out three of their larger cousins in rapid succession, but she had undoubtedly used some dirty trick to gain the upper hand. But, now that they knew she was here, and had the paladin surrounded, the numbers were overwhelmingly on their side — there was no way they would let such a delicious looking morsel escape. As Lexi looked out on the legion of child-sized foes crowding around her, she suppressed a wave of nausea seeing the starkly lewd looks on many faces, many of the small goblins licking their lips and adjusted growing bulges in their trousers as they closed in around her.

The horde of lust-filled little shotas thought they had Lexi right where they wanted her…

“…but they were all of them deceived,” Lexi whispered to herself, a slow smile dawning across her face as she quoted Galadriel’s opening monologue from The Fellowship of the Ring. As the noose of green flesh tightened around her, Lexi did some quick mental math, and — liking the calculations — unleashed her first ever spell combination by grabbing the crotch of the nearest little shota and shouting out the magical command words.

Feminization Cluster Bomb!

A shockwave of magical energy coursed through the unwitting goblin whom Lexi had initially seized, jumping from his body and arcing into the goblins closest to him like an electric current, the spell’s rippling energies leaping from goblin to goblin as it extended outward from Lexi to reach the terminus of its area of effect, some thirty-two feet in diameter. This easily encompassed all of the goblins except a quartet of stragglers who remained occupied with the “free samples” at the pillories — two of the goblins spitroasting the elf, while the other pair enjoyed the pussies of the halfling and human girls respectively.

As the shimmering wave of magic rippled through the mass of goblin flesh, transformations began to take place within the bodies of each affected creature. The first sign Lexi saw was that the crotch she had grabbed began to morph under her hand, the outline of a semi-hard cock changing into the familiar shape of a pussy mound. The entire form of the goblin in front of her changed as well, the lines of its body and face curving and softening as the transition from male to female overtook every aspect of the goblin. Even its hair lengthened from a shaggy boy’s cut, to long flowing locks more typical of a girl.

The goblin, like all of its companions, was frozen in place as it felt its cock shrink down into a small clitoral nub. Already aroused both from the wanton displays they had seen within the market itself as well as the prospects of fucking the buxom paladin, the horde of goblins were by and large already horny. What each member of the greenskin race found, however, was that this means of arousal changed from a stiff — or at least stiffening cock — into a wet pussy, itching and burning with the desire to be filled. The lean musculature of each goblin male had completely transformed into the soft curving form of a female, complete with small budding breasts and pussies eager to be fucked.

In short, where only a moment prior, Lexi had found herself surrounded by a small army of shotas, what she saw now was a legion of little green lolis — each one panting with horniness, but their cute little faces utterly shocked by the disbelief in the transformation the paladin had wrought upon them.
