There was a reason why I had carefully made my way through this cave.
It was because this was the only safe path through this cave that was filled with hidden traps.
Unless one took that path, it would wake the things that were hidden under the ground here.
Under the floor that seemed normal, there were…
As soon as the soldiers stepped into the area that I had carefully moved through, they found that the ground collapsed from underneath them.
It wasn't just the area that we had moved through that collapsed, it was even the floor that was under them that collapsed. But of course, it wasn't as if every single part of the floor collapsed.
There were just some holes that appeared in the ground under the Vikal Kingdom soldiers.
The ones that were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of these holes were swallowed by those holes. They tried to grab at anything that they could to stop themselves from falling, but all that did was drag their comrades down in the holes with them.
It was a complete mess as these soldiers were caught off guard by the appearance of these holes.
Even if they were elite soldiers that were well trained, that didn't mean that they were able to stop themselves from being caught off guard. Once they were caught off guard, their panic took over and even their finely trained minds couldn't keep up.
The only instinct that they had was to stop themselves from falling down into the holes that had formed.
But…they were just too slow for that.
The commander was among the few that was able to escape falling into these holes.
Once he calmed down, he was able to analyze the situation.
The one thing that he noticed was that there were no holes where we were currently standing.
As soon as he realized this, the commander knew that this was the only solution.
"Forward! Charge forward and get them! The area where they're standing is safe!" The commander shouted at his soldiers, but it was too bad that they weren't in a state to follow these orders.
All of them were still trying to find their footing after the collapse of the floor under them.
It was just too bad that they wouldn't get the chance to come back to their senses.
After all, there was still something that was under the ground…
It was something that had been crawling around without a care for the humans above it, but once it was disturbed…
There were these skittering sounds that suddenly started filling the cave.
These sounds were just too loud that it was impossible to ignore them.
At the same time, it was clear that there were many things that were making this sound.
After a while, there were things that peeked out of the holes that had formed in the ground of this cave. These were…mandibles with sharp pincers or these were legs that seemed very thin, but covered in a layer of exoskeleton.
The things that crawled out of the caves were…giant ants.
As soon as they came out, they looked around as if they were trying to see what was there.
Though as they looked around, what really moved were the antennas on their heads.
Ants had blurry vision, so what they really used to find things was chemosense which they did with the antennas on their heads.
It was during this time that they were able to get a closer look at these ants that had suddenly appeared.
These were giant ants that seemed to be the same size as large dogs.
There wasn't much that was different about these ants, other than the fact that they were giant compared to normal ants. Other than that, they had the same features as normal ants.
But there was one thing that caught the eye very quickly about these ants.
It was that there were some of the ants that were covered in red.
As for what that red was…it was blood.
It was the blood of the ones that had fallen down into the holes.
In fact, there was even an ant that had what seemed to be a human arm in between the pincers of its mouth. This arm had a sleeve on it that had the symbol of the Vikal Kingdom army.
When the Vikal Kingdom soldiers saw this, they began panicking even more.
The only one that was still calm was the commander of these soldiers.
He knew that there was nothing to gain from losing one's cool. In fact, losing his cool here would mean the death of not just himself, but his men as well.
So he had to think of a way out of this.
After a moment of thought, the commander said, "Forward! Charge forward and take down the enemies if you want to live!"
That was right, he saw that there was nothing happening around us.
There wasn't a single hole or any that had appeared around us. It was as if the ants were completely ignoring us.
It was just too bad that his orders were drowned out by…
"Screech!"
There was the sudden screeching that came from the ants before they charged forward at the Vikal Kingdom soldiers.
The moment that they saw this, all of the soldiers wanted to run away, but they found that this wasn't possible.
While they had been in a daze, the ants had appeared behind them as well.
They were completely surrounded.
The only way out was to fight their way out. f(r)eewebnovel
"General, what is this?" One of my subordinates couldn't help asking.
I just watched the ants charge forward at the Vikal Kingdom army before saying, "This is the plan that I was talking about. This is my way of dealing with these enemies."
Another one of my subordinates couldn't help asking, "What are these things?"
I looked at the ants surging forward and said, "These things are Chimera Ants."
