Chapter 1178
The certainty Crossed Antennae had that she had injured Korin lit zealous flames inside her. Unfortunately, some of her companions were less enthusiastic about it.
“I don’t see why everyone is afraid. We will just go and finish her off. It won’t be that hard, if she hasn’t gone into hiding.”
“Just kill a Domination cultivator, huh?” Runa commented.
“For us void ants, the threat is less. Though obviously she might kill a great number of us. We do not necessarily have to find her. Whatever anchor she has will suffice.”
“It’s not so easy to delve deep into enemy systems,” Uduak commented. She maintained an important position, despite her recent loss of limb.
“I just need a few scout ships, and I will be off,” Crossed Antennae explained.
“We need you here to hold the line,” Tessouat said. “And to keep your people in check.”
Crossed Antennae wondered if he thought the rest would go feral without her. Sure, that could happen if you were a bad queen who raised void ants that way- like those ones kept in the lower realms- but she knew better. They were raised with purpose, and they had no reason to betray that. If there were cowards among them… then they could flee as individuals. It would not affect their ranks overall. But Crossed Antennae didn’t believe void ants would act in such a manner.
“The Scarlet Alliance has plans,” Misi explained. “Perhaps we should wait to see if they are effective?”
