Chapter 54: A Losing Battle
The two wolves darted into the forest to escape, and five of the soldiers stayed back while the others chased after them! Once those five were gone, two more wolves appeared and began drawing the attention of the remaining soldiers!
This time, the soldiers all took off and chased after the wolves, and Jason ordered the Pawn Rank II scouts to quickly head toward the tunnel and block it!
The tunnel was shaped in a way that no more than three worker ants or one soldier ant could enter it at the same time. But since the scouts were larger than the workers and smaller than the soldiers, they needed two of them to block the tunnel!
The scouts immediately charged for the tunnel, and two of them used their bodies to slam against the entrance, blocking it and preventing any more ants from going inside!
Then, the massacre began!
Jason had already sent his four Pawn Rank III subordinates along with sixteen Pawn Rank II subordinates after the soldiers. That meant he only had three Pawn Rank II subordinates along with twenty Pawn Rank I subordinates with him.
But since two of the Pawn Rank II subordinates had used their bodies to block the entrance, Jason could only use one Pawn Rank II along with twenty Pawn Rank I’s to fight!
But the worker ants weren’t like the soldiers and scouts, who had the ability to defend themselves properly and fly away if there was danger. The workers couldn’t fly, and their mandibles were developed for cutting trees and carrying heavy objects, not for battle! And that was why the Pawn Rank I’s were able to put up one hell of a fight!
The Pawn Rank I’s immediately charged against the workers and began tearing into them with reckless abandon! The workers were shocked by the sudden attack, and many of them tried to charge toward the tunnel to hide, but they were met with the large mandibles of the scouts blocking the entrance, and they were easily cut in half by their own brothers!
