Chapter 145: Desti-Bee Fulfilled
Belissar grit his teeth as he glanced at the three fallen bees but he tore his eyes away. He knew deep down they were unlikely to win without casualties, but he still had hoped to do so. Unfortunately, the Tower Guard were indeed not to be trifled with.
Worse still was that the humans did not fight like the Hunger did. The shades of the Hunger were relentless. Sure, they might try to bypass a fight when they could, but they always continued moving forward at any cost. Not so with humans, apparently. These ones fell back into the tunnels the moment they saw the bee army…and between the Tower Guard captain’s sword and the mages’ wind and fireballs Belissar didn’t feel safe letting the bees pursue them into the tight corridor.
Luckily, though, they just said their plan out loud where Belissar could hear it, so he knew they planned to press forward. He frowned at that, but relayed their intentions to the Flower Meadow queens and Chief Rohsuak. He then turned to the karnuq. They were all standing in the Orchard, right before the wall of shortcuts.
“Could you help us out? It looks like they’re going to use some big fire spell to try and push through?”
Chief Rohsuak made a predatory grin.
“Oh, are they, now? Worry not, Sacred Den Master. I’ll handle it.”
She began laughing as she began to munch on mana honeycomb. Belissar kept rubbing his chin, though.
“Also, that Tower Guard captain at the front seems pretty strong, fast enough to hit my bees midflight. Any ideas on how to deal with him?”
Chief Rohsuak just smiled and turned to Metsaitti. He sighed and began to roll his shoulders. Then he straightened up and struck his spear into the ground.
