Chapter 619 Chimera Ants (15)
General Risen didn’t seem surprised at all when he heard this.
The look on his face made it clear that he was already expecting this answer, but he still had to ask for his men.
“Then we’ll fight to the end.” General Risen said in a calm voice before suddenly raising his voice to shout, “It was an honour serving with you all! Now we fight to the death!”
The soldiers behind him had no hesitation at all as they shouted, “Yes, general!”
It was a simple response, but it was all that was needed.
Once their voices fell, they went all out in trying to push away the Chimera Ants. They weren’t trying to kill the Chimera Ants, they were just trying to push them back so they could create a path for themselves.
It seemed that they had given up on fighting the Chimera Ants.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t defeat the Chimera Ants.
They knew how to fight the Chimera Ants and had already slaughtered quite a few of these Chimera Ants.
Instead, they were targeting something else.
They were targeting me.
General Risen wasn’t a fool, he had been able to figure out from the performance that I was the one that was controlling the Chimera Ants. But that also meant that as long as I was taken care of, there would be no one left to hold the Chimera Ants.
Before this, the Chimera Ants had rampaged freely, attacking whatever they wanted to attack.
That was why General Killock had kept his forces back in the first place and had only fired arrows down at the Vikal Kingdom army to deter them. He didn’t want to risk his men approaching the Chimera Ants and being injured by them.
That meant that as long as I was killed as the one controlling them, the Chimera Ant would revert back to their previous ways.
They would be free to attack whatever they wanted to attack without a single care.
That would mean that General Killock and his army would have to deal with them before they started hurting the people in the surrounding villages.
As such, they would at least be able to hurt General Killock and his men with the Chimera Ants.
At the same time, they would be able to take revenge on the person who had put them in this dire situation in the first place.
This was their last attempt at doing something meaningful with their lives.
That all depended on being able to reach me and taking me out.
But the ants were just too strong for them.
If they were scattered like before, the Vikal Kingdom soldiers might have been able to do something. But since they were working together, that meant that they could also do things like bait them.
It seemed like the Vikal Kingdom soldiers would be able to break free of the encirclement of the ants at first, but then it turned out that they were just being lured in.
The ants had allowed them to move forward so that they could trap them.
Once they had put most of their forces in the front, the ants had wrapped around the back to attack them from behind.
Since they were doing a suicidal attack, it was inevitable that those that were injured and weakened would fall behind the others that were charging at full force. Those were the ones that the ants targeted.
But they thought that they would be able to make it through the ants, so they used them as a sacrifice.
It was just that this turned out to be useless in the end.
The ants that had been pushed back suddenly turned around and formed a complete line in front of them.
This line was completely different from the mess that they were in before.
This line was a proper line that utilized their individual strength as a total, which made them much stronger than before. So no matter how the Vikal Kingdom soldiers pushed, they couldn’t move forward a single inch.
It was like facing a steel wall.
When General Risen realized this, he knew that he had been completely seen through.
But what shocked him even more was the fact that the ants could work together like this in the first place.
Even if the ants could be controlled, he never thought that the control would be so precise to pull off intricate strategies like this.When the facts were in front of him, he had no choice but to accept this.
“Monster.” General Risen said as he looked at Count Zwein.
The voice that he had said it in wasn’t that loud or soft, but I had been able to hear it across this noisy battlefield.
It was as if it had rung out through the battlefield and had reached me.
I just looked down at General Risen who was surrounded by the Chimera Ants and he stared up at me.
Perhaps I was considered a monster since I had information about this world that no one else had.
Perhaps I could be considered a freak since I had the ability to do things that no one else in this world could do, but I wasn’t afraid of that anymore.
I had things that were important to me in this world, so I would do what I needed to do to protect them. So regardless of what happens because of it, I was already prepared.
That was why I was using all of these events that I knew about around this world to take care of my enemies.
In no time at all, the Vikal Kingdom soldiers were completely swallowed by the Chimera Ants.
They tried to fight back as much as they could, but there was nothing that they could do against the sheer number of ants that were around them. Especially since they were already injured from fighting the ants before.
When it was over, there were only ants left.
But that also made General Killock and his men uneasy.
