<h4>Chapter 617 Chimera Ants (13)</h4>


    I really did almost have a heart attack when I saw Cecilia acting this way.


    I had thought that I would be able to trust her with this, but it seemed like I had been too negligent.


    At the very least, I should have given her something that would have kept her safe even if the others were hurt.


    No, that was the wrong way to think...


    I was only thinking that way since I was scared of the fact that I had almost lost her. It was making me think in ways that I shouldn''t be thinking.


    But when I saw that ant almost pierce her with its pincers, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.


    Cecilia had been in a daze the whole time as I held her before she lowered her head to say, "I''m sorry, I was being reckless."


    However, she didn''t stay like that for long as she remembered that they were still surrounded by the ants. She didn''t have time to remain idle as the ants could attack at any moment.


    So Cecilia pushed her way out of his embrace and prepared to fight.


    It was just that there were no more enemies for her to fight.


    The ants were no longer attacking them, but rather they were attacking each other.


    It was as if they had gonepletely crazy as the ants were attacking each other with their pincers, ripping each other apart. But when one looked closely, they could see the hesitation that was in the ants.


    It was clear that they didn''t want to do this, but it was as if there was something forcing them to do this.


    Though as for what could force these powerful Chimera Ants into doing this, they had no idea. They couldn''t even begin to imagine just what wouldpel them into doing this.


    I just ignored the ants as they killed each other and gathered everyone around.


    It seemed that most of us had only suffered minor injuries in this fight, though our group really was exhausted because of the intense fighting.


    Shaka was the one that had it the worst since he was the one that had used all of his trump cards to push back the ants as much as he could. It seemed like he was barely able to move, but he was still pushing himself forward.


    Once I made sure that they were still able to move, I said, "Let''s go outside, we still have more enemies to take care of."


    All of them except Cecilia and Shaka looked at me with bitter looks when they heard this before one of them asked, "How? There are still a bunch of ants and enemy soldiers outside."


    "I''m the one that caused the ants to act that way. They won''t attack us as long as they are like that and they will only focus on attacking the enemies." I said in a calm voice.


    They all looked at me with shocked looks, including Cecilia and Shaka.


    Even if they had already expected this, hearing me say it out loud waspletely different.


    But they were able to quickly ept it.


    Simply put, it was because they were slowly adapting to all of the things that I had been doing. I had shown that anything that I did was far beyondmon sense, so they had to ept it or else they would go crazy.


    If anything, humans were adaptable.


    So we didn''t care about the rest of the ants and followed the marks that we had made back to the same hole as before.


    Since this hole wasn''t thatrge, it was easy for us to climb back up through it ande out to the same room as before. Then following the same path as before, we made our way out of the cave.


    It was just that when we came out of the cave, we found that the fight was already basically over.


    General Killock had followed my instructions and brought the army with him to take care of the remnants of the Vikal Kingdom army, so there was nothing left for us to do.


    The only concern was what the remaining Chimera Ants would do after the Vikal Kingdom army was finished, which was why General Killock had been keeping his men back still.


    They seemed like they were ready to fight the Chimera Ants when it came down to it.


    But with me here, there was no need for that.


    Since the Vikal Kingdom army wasn''t able to do anything anymore, I just confidently strode out of the cave.


    The others were too focused on the fight that they hadn''t been able to stop me.


    So in the end, they had no choice but to follow me out.


    The moment that we came out, we were noticed by both sides.


    General Risen had managed to gather the few troops that he had left with him to form a defensive line, but it didn''t seem like it wouldst long. However, the moment that he saw my grouping out of the cave, he no longer cared about that.


    At this point, he knew that he would be dead, so there was only one thing that he needed to do.


    Leading the charge, General Risen shouted, "Charge with me and kill him!"


    The soldiers had been surprised, but they also started charging with looks of rage on their faces.


    It seemed like they also couldn''t hold back their anger towards me since I was the one that had forced them into this situation.


    With the way that they were charging, it seemed like they were going to do a suicidal charge and with the way that the ants cut them down from the sides, it seemed like this was the case.


    General Killock looked at me and wanted to lead his men to help, but I just raised my hand for him to stay back.


    Seeing General Risen charging at me like this, I just revealed a confident smile.
