Chrysalis
Chapter 574
The moment this Wallace guy revealed the locations of the gates, the Colony sprang into action. I could hear orders being snapped out as ants began to gather in teams, flooding away towards the fort on the outskirts of the city. Even my heart skipped a beat. This could be a major blunder! We'd anticipated the gates would be here, in the centre, and so they were, but we didn't foresee that there'd be more around the edge of the city! Almost all our forces are concentrated here for the final push! If those gates open and those Legion nutters come pouring out…
"One of us should go," I tell Mother, "those Legion soldiers are no joke, as I recall."
Though I was super weak back then. I have no idea what their relative strength would be now, realistically.
"Which of us should it be?" she asks me. "I'm willing to go where I'm most needed."
I hesitate. I need to stay here to help communicate, but I'm worried that the fort will prove to be the more dangerous of the options.
"Go to the fort," I tell her reluctantly, "as soon as I'm done here, I'll head up there as well, just in case. Make sure you take a few members of the council up there with you. If it turns serious, we'd rather have more firepower than we need than not enough."
The Queen's antennae twitch.
"What about you, child? Will you be alright here?"
I suspect she thinks I'm taking on too much here.
"Not to worry," I assure her, "I alone would be enough."

Several large buildings loom within the square but the Captain wastes no time (for once) and directs us to the largest.
