Chrysalis

Chapter 1235

“This is disturbing news, Eldest,” Sloan and Victor don’t look pleased with what I have to say.

“Apparently, this is going on everywhere in the stratum right now, but as monsters, we are especially vulnerable.”

The two generals nod as they ponder this issue. The idea of having a hostile monster group raising a corrupted Colony to fight against us is certainly not a welcome one.

“We will take every precaution to prevent someone from being taken, and implement checks to ensure we can act swiftly to recover any of our family who are… but…”

The two look very uncomfortable as Sloan lays this out.

“But what?” I ask, impatient.

“It’s impossible that we would be able to succeed forever. Even if we get through two, three, ten waves without a single member of the Colony being captured, they only have to succeed once. In the long term, defence is not a viable strategy.”

I can see what they mean. We can fend off the Krath here in the fourth ten thousand times, but they only have to succeed a single time, drag a captive away and throw them into the sludge. From there, it’s only a hop, step and a jump to creating their own colony.

“We have to go on the offensive,” I say the thought out loud, and the two generals agree solemnly.

“Eradication of the Krath is our only viable path forward. We must exterminate them from the Dungeon completely.”
