Chapter 104: Bee-lazing Battle
Now that the honey had arrived, Belissar turned his attention back to the shade, trying to determine how long they had left to prepare.
It seemed they would have…quite a while. The turtle shade had barely passed the first section of the Dirt Tunnels…and had taken a wrong turn to boot. Belissar kept everyone updated as the turtle slowly reached the dead end and turned around.
And then, not so promptly proceeded down another wrong turn. And then another. And another…
Soon, the karnuq had begun to sit or even lie down around the field. Chief Rohsuak was just staring at the mana honeycomb tray in her hands. The soldier bees still maintained their formations, but their wings beat at a slower place as they simply hovered in place. Belissar was mostly pacing about. On the one hand, more time to prepare was useful. On the other hand, Belissar could not calm down with the shade present and the feeling of the Hunger crashing against the Tower’s mana.
He glanced over to Chief Rohsuak and then began to rub his chin.
“Sacred Den Master? Do you need something?”
Belissar shook his head.
“No, it’s just…you’re going to use fire, right?”
Chief Rohsuak nodded. Belissar then crossed his arms.
