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.

Without any further hesitation, the soldiers formed shield walls with other soldiers standing behind them with their spears at the ready.

There were a few failures at first when they found that the sharp pincers of these ants were able to cut right through their strong steel shields. Even if they tried to push the ants back, their lines were being broken by the sharp pincers.

But then they figured it out.

It was only the pincers that were sharp, the other parts of the ants weren't strong enough to break through these shields. They were being pushed back by the shields when they used the shields to push the other parts of the ants.

At the same time, they also figured out how to hurt the ants.

The ants had strong exoskeletons that could protect them, but there were gaps in those exoskeletons. It wasn't as if the exoskeletons could cover the ants completely without any gaps since that would completely stop them from moving.

There were gaps where the joints were that allowed the ants to move.

So once they figured that out with a few spears breaking from attacking the exoskeletons, they started aiming for the joints of the ants.

These joints were the weak points as spears that were stabbed into them went in with ease. As soon as the spear was stabbed in, the limb that the joint held fell off, being separated from the ant's body.

After that, the soldiers figured out that the back of the head for the ants were their weak points.

The exoskeleton at the back of the head was thinner than the exoskeleton around the ants, so they were able to stab through this with ease.

Once the ants had their heads stabbed, they immediately stopped moving.

Just like this, they had found a way of dealing with the ants that were coming at them.

But the problem was that more and more of these ants were coming out of the holes in the ground and it was only a matter of time before they were completely swarmed by them.

The commander gritted his teeth when he saw all of this and he didn't know what to do at first.

However, he then remembered something and looked in the direction that we were standing in.

When I saw him looking this way, I just waved my hand at him with a smile on my face.

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?"
