Master Of None

Chapter 1316: 1316. Colony Queen

”The ravine is suppressed, next wave, march in to the tunnels!” The commander called for the next wave of golems and dwarven soldiers to head inside the large tunnel. He wanted to continue to suppress the ants that were pushing inside the tunnels and potentially surrounding the first wave that entered. Believing that there was only one way inside and outside would be a massive mistake.

”We need to catch up with Walker and Midnight. It shouldnʼt be long with all these golems without.” Remey and Su had like minds when it came to this. Alice and Gil were staying outside so that they could maintain the safety of the outer ravine. The dwarves were already setting up a camp and catching the ants returning to the ravine from scouting or hunting for food.

”I will trust you two with the notice to the king that we have secured the space for a camp. We will dig in here and await his return.” The commander knew that he could trust Remey and Su. They were two of the heroic party that continuously made waves to cause growth within Genesis and the world.

”We can do that. Make sure you have the healers ready in case we send the injured out. Also, check the potion stored and send in golems with a few supplies.” Remey surprised Su by taking the chance to order the dwarven commander around about healing and potions. But this appeared to be the plan already.

”I will have it done. We were able to secure high quality potions from the alchemy guild. They will be sent where they are needed.” This appeased Remey and the pair delved in to the cave with fifteen golems side by side. One bear type golem had remained behind and followed them. It was the next tank to block any potential guardian ants that might attempt to surround the first wave of golems.

Their speed was much faster than the first wave that had entered the ravine. The golems took out the lingering soldier ants but there were none that had been able to return to the tunnels. A few straggling golems from the first wave had stopped to maintain the tunnelʼs clear escape route which was a very wise decision. It also explained why there were more golems in the first wave.

It was something that the entire party would take note and value whenever they went in to a dangerous underground area filled with a potential swarm type monster species.

”I can hear the fighting up ahead. This should be where Walker said those ant eggs were, right?” Su remembered what Walker had said. When she spoke she spoke loud enough so that every dwarf could hear. She wanted them to be on alert. This proved to be the right move. As soon as they entered they found that the soldier ants had spilled from one side of the wall in to a large chamber.

Frost was leaving the broken open passageway that had clearly been carved out by the golems.

”We will get in there behind them, for now, Clear this chamber!” Rmeey roared with energy before dashing toward the ant trying to get inside the frozen chamber. She knew that only Midnight and Walker could cause such a thing to happen.

Su was right behind Remey. The two bashed their way knocking ants aside and breaking their legs so that the golems could easily defeat them/. It was not a battle to defeat the ants but one to work with the golems around to end them and clear the chamber. Defeating every ant one by one would take too much time. They worked together to make it all happen.

”Thatʼs the sound of Remey and Su, it has to be.” Walker saw the ant trying to climb in behind them. The following sound was the vibration of a shield and the harsh crack of a fist slamming in to something hard. Before Midnight could turn, Remey and Su burst through the passageway in to the frozen egg chamber that the king of the deep caves was moving out of toward the queenʼs chamber.

”We have reinforcements behind us. We are ready!” Walker was glad to see that Remey and Su had managed to arrive. He was not expecting that Gil and Alice would since they were better off outside and better help there.

”My soldiers, forward!” The order was more powerful this time causing some ice to crackle around them. The king of the deep caves was fired up and smashed the larger ice crystals to make way. The passageway to the queenʼs chamber was large and the golems easily fit through. With the bear golem ahead, no one worried about not making it there.

The few soldier ants that had jot pulled back to the queen were smashed in to bits.

Without fail, they marched right in to the largest camber that they had seen. The ants had made pillars of earth to hold it steady while making it perfect for storing food and crowding together. There were broken pieces of mud around that had clearly been what the ants covered themselves in while dormant. In the center was a very large open space made for the queen.

To say that the queen was large was an understatement. It towered over the guardian ants at triple the size. It had been interrupted in its precious duty to lay eggs and was looking at the intruders in fury. There was a slight pressure around everyone that told them this was not the easy fight that the dwarves had made it appear to be.

There were four more guardians around the queen, just as large as the one that Walker had already seen. ”Ha! Lucky day, this is the original queen. Those other two took some guardians and soldiers when they split off. We have an easy fight!” No one argued against the king of the deep caves. The guardian ants were already moving.
