Chrysalis

Chapter 751

It doesn't take long to organise my pets and let them know what we've been tasked with. What takes a little longer is explaining to them exactly what is going to happen as a result of the 'allies' that the Council has decided to dump on our laps. The heavily armoured soldier in front of me looks a little nervous, which is ridiculous considering she's a behemoth of an ant weighed down by hundreds of kilograms of metal.

"Are you going to make this painful for me, Leeroy?"

"No… Eldest. Just going to charge out and defeat… the enemy?"

"Why does that smell like a question!? What else were you hoping to defeat? You know what, don't answer that. I'll just make one thing perfectly clear, not a single one of you is going to die on this charge, alright? Not a one! In fact, I'll make it my personal mission that you all return with fully topped off health, not a single scratch on you."

She slumps a little, dejected.

"Alright, Eldest," she mutters, "have it your way."

"Why are you giving me this attitude, huh?!" I poke her with an antenna, "I'm talking about keeping you alive! Is there some reason you aren't happy about that, Leeroy? Anything you want to tell me? Hmm? You surely aren't going against the very first lesson I taught you, are you?! Because that might influence me to get you back into training with me for a little while. I might want to make sure you brush up on the basics…"

"No, Eldest! I treasure my life, and so do all my followers!"

"Wait," comes a scent from behind Leeroy, "we do?"

The council member studiously ignores her follower and stares at me, antennae twitching outside of her control. I sigh.
