Chrysalis
Chapter 1199
Solant knew, of course she knew, how could she not? But the task before her didn’t change, no matter what was going on behind her back.
“Focus your fire forwards! Don’t pay any attention to what’s going on behind! Hold the line!”
The fighting was still intense, though it had slackened, thankfully.
“Are you sure, general? Things are… rather dire back there.”
“Leonidant, I don’t care if the fortress collapses behind us, we will achieve victory here, in this tunnel, at this chokepoint!”
“But the fortress may well have fallen behind us, Solant! We don’t know what’s going on back there!”
For over an hour, reports had flooded to those fighting on the front that any and all communication with the central planning chamber had been lost. The fighters here in the tunnel had been cut off from central command completely.
That didn’t bother Solant so much, she had a job to do, as did every other ant here, and if there was a problem in the nest, that was for others to deal with. The Eldest was back there, for The Queen’s sake! If the Eldest couldn’t deal with it, she assuredly couldn’t.
And so, the fight had gone on.
Then the reports had changed. Not only was the central command chamber enshrouded in darkness, but the shadows were advancing down the tunnels.
Solant had glared at the scout and told her to get back to fighting.
“Rotate!” she demanded, and then twitched when she realised that the next line of soldiers was gone. There was no one to rotate forward.
Instead, all that lay behind her was a black wall of shifting shadows.
“Well… that’s not ideal,” she muttered.
“Yeah, don’t stress about it,” came a familiar scent, followed by the giant head of the Eldest. “You did a good job holding the line. Well done.”
She was pleased for the compliment, but felt it wasn’t deserved.
“We only held because the number of monsters encroaching on our position diminished significantly. If it weren’t for that, we would have… lost.”
