Master Of None

Chapter 1271 1271. Causing More Trouble

Walker didn't see the rest of the group anywhere. He ran carefully still hidden in the shadows back where he had come from until he noticed that the wall was misshapen. His hand touched it and he could feel the earth elemental mana that was used to create this hollow space. "Open up, it's me." He used a soft whisper combined with a little earth elemental mana. He was instantly greeted by the soft shifting earth.

"You took a while. We needed to hide from that thing. Freaking ants. Giant ants." Gil was not happy with what they had seen.

"There were six that passed by. They could smell us or sense us, I'm not sure which. We had to retreat and hide away. I don't think they followed." Since Su had made this call she took responsibility for leaving the area.

"I don't want to fight these bugs in their home turf. We need more people to smash them." Since even Remey was admitting that the party was outmatched, Walker knew they were very serious.

"There are a lot more than that. The tunnel I went down leads to hundreds, maybe thousands of eggs. If they were sealed up here then they might have just come out of a dormant stage with the earthquake. They are giant earth ants. They would stay underground if they don't find a way out to search for more food. But now they have a way. We need to close up that room we found and get out of here. The faster we get out and get the dwarves notified the better." Knowing the best people to share this with fully was the secret to properly dealing with the situation.

"How long do you think these things have been here?" Remey wasn't sure how long these ants had been trapped away in the earth. She just knew that they were a problem that needed to be handled.

"I would guess since the race that lived here left. If they left so many things behind there was a good reason. They left here and made that city in the desert. But they learned and eventually moved on after that. Who knows where. We will find out one day. That doesn't matter though, we need to get out of here." Walker picked up the pace while explaining the appraisal of the giant earth ants along with who he had sent notifications to in a rush….

"I leave the city for a few days and I get this as a communication? What trouble they make." Scylla looked down at her soldiers that had completely dug up the area around the abandoned village. She had managed to capture living starlight crickets, some eggs, and then destroyed almost all the adults. The army she had brought with her were demi-humans with earth related skills so that they could best eliminate the failures of fools who thought it wise to play the role of a god in this world.

"Listen up! You will remain here for three weeks and guard these field lands. I want the caught specimens brought back to Genesis to be examined by the tamers. I want the remaining to be exterminated. The information left behind by the fools that lived here will be sent home to be evaluated and copied for Genesis. I will be leaving!" There was a solid thump as every soldier responded by hitting their chest. They had their orders from their general and would not back down from them. Scylla headed toward the ravine that she had already been briefed on. The guards would be in for a surprise…

"First a village with experimental monsters left behind by some idiots that thought they would change the world and now giant earth ants in ruins that need to be explored?! What are they trying to do to me? I have a competition to deal with too. They will be the death of me!" Clara screamed out in her stress. She was sure that she would die young due to extreme stress. "I know how that old man got so wrinkly. If there are adventurers like this…" Clara was tired with her head in her hands.

She wanted to call on Barry to prepare for a battle but knew he was away already. He had gone to help with the rogue dragons and show the dragonkin along with the royal dragons the power of humans. It would win them respect and also the support of more dragons. "Call for the king of the deep caves. Have him send notice to his fellow kings that we found an enemy of theirs!" Clara knew that an attendant was always listening for a call. The proof was the instant shout of confirmation while they rushed to send this notice.

The response was quick. Much quicker than she expected. It seemed that the news that an enemy of the dwarves appeared was more than enough to spur the king of the deep caves in to action. "Listen here, I was bringing up a load of valuable pure iron ores and you stopped me. What enemy of dwarves did you find!" The fury that the king of the deep caves was powerful. His voice bellowed through the entire guild. Never cause a dwarf to yell, they may cause severe deafness.

"Giant earth ants were found in a ravine in the field lands. There are ruins there from the race we believe created the mage tower later in their existence. But even more, the ants are not dormant and have not discovered a way out of their nest yet. I believe that the dwarves have a history with such monsters." The king of the deep caves was back out the door without saying a word. He had a hand on his pickaxe and was heading toward a group of golems. He was going to be sending a message himself. Clara just shook her head and decided to wait for news to return to her.
