Chapter 607 Chimera Ants (3)
The look on their faces made it clear that they wanted to ask more about this, but that was cut off by the screams that came from in front of us.
We turned back to see the scene of carnage that was happening in front of us.
There had been a moment of calm before it started, but the moment that the ants found the Vikal Kingdom soldiers, they attacked.
It wasn't a simple attack, it was a vicious attack.
There was no mercy at all as they used their razor sharp pincers to cut into the soft bodies of the humans. The Vikal Kingdom soldiers weren't able to react at all as they were ripped apart by these sharp pincers.
The ones that were ripped apart could be considered the lucky ones since they didn't have to suffer.
In fact, they almost didn't feel anything since they died almost instantly.
The ones that didn't were the ones that suffered.
After the first group died, the rest of the soldiers reacted.
"Ah! What are these monsters?!"
"Don't come over here! Go away!"
"Take this! Die!"
There were many different reactions to the ants that were flooding them, but there was no coordinated action from the soldiers. It was as if they had completely forgotten that they were soldiers in the first place.
That was until a voice said, "Form your ranks and push them back!"
It was the commander who was now missing an arm.
His face was pale and his body was covered in blood while he was being supported by two people, but he didn't back down as he shouted, "We need to form ranks or else we'll all die here!"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers slowly came back to their senses and military discipline sank in.
Seeing me like this, the commander looked at me with a glare that would have killed me if looks could kill. It seemed like he wanted nothing more than to rip me to pieces with his bare hands.
It was just too bad that he wasn't able to reach me.
Well, too bad for him.
It wasn't as if I wanted to be ripped apart.
I could see that there was a moment where the commander was thinking about charging in our direction, but it seemed that he gave up on this idea in the end. He could see that there were just too many ants in between his group and us, so they wouldn't be able to get far before they were swarmed by the ants.
The only upside to this was that...we wouldn't be able to leave.
I could see in his eyes that he was cursing me to a gruesome death, hoping that I would be eaten by the ants.
Once he made his decision, the commander said, "Retreat! We're leaving this place and letting them get swarmed by the ants. We'll wait outside for the ants to return before coming back to get their corpses."
The other soldier also looked in our direction with eyes that were filled with hatred.
But they followed this order and started leaving the cave.
Seeing them leave, I just revealed a faint smile.
However, my subordinates couldn't calm down as they all revealed worried looks.
That was because they could see the large number of ants that were in front of us.
One of them suddenly asked, "How do we get out of here? Is there even a way for us to leave?"
I shook my head and said, "There's no need for that."
When they heard this, they all looked at me with shocked and confused looks.
But there was also a look in their eyes that seemed to be saying, "Did we just get sacrificed?"
