Chapter 46: The Assault (Part 5)
Blood dripped from Clard’s entire body. He was completely exhausted. He had just defeated all the Ant Bees that tried to kill him.
But he managed to escape death. He looked up. Half of his troops were dead. As he looked around, the troops led by Gramn were in even worse condition. Almost 60% of his forces had been killed by the Ant Bees. Even though there were more Ant Bee corpses, this still felt like a defeat to Clard.
It was nothing like what he had imagined.
"What exactly are they? How could they be this strong?" Clard muttered.
It had never crossed his mind that they would be cornered by the Ant Bees. A mission he thought would be easily won turned out to be the most difficult one in his life.
Clard’s eyes were still moving, and blood continued to drip from his wounds. He pulled out a potion and drank it. His body glowed for a few seconds before dimming again. Slowly, his injuries began to heal.
"Where are the reinforcements Raiga promised? They should be here by now," Clard muttered anxiously.

On the other side, Lyrith sat still, lost in thought. Her body was bleeding, and she had been dazed for almost twelve hours. She hadn’t moved from that spot.
"Where am I?" She looked around and saw several dead demi-humans lying on the floor. She couldn’t remember anything. "Why are they dead?"
Lyrith knew nothing. She didn’t even know who she was, but one thing disturbed her. She felt as though she needed to do something, but she didn’t know what it was.
