BUILDING MY OWN EMPIRE - My Journey from Nothing to Overwhelming Power-Chapter 36 – Part 3 Underworld Insects. The Lesser Secret Disaster.
"That bastard.. he is showing off with arrogance"
Lois muttered angrily..
No one had any doubt that what they had witnessed moments ago was a fight completely different from what had happened before..
The skills of the Rock Warriors were superior and their cooperation was perfect, as if they had fought a hundred wars previously..
None of them knew the secret.. but the Leader of the Rock Fighters stood afar smiling.. enjoying everyone’s shock.. he knew that the property (The Leader Leads) was what granted his fighters that accumulated experience and perfect coordination...
"They are truly skilled. The Leader has found a truly precious combat treasure"
At the top of the tower, Monali finally breathed calmly and continued..
"The disaster began at midnight.. I believe it will end at sunrise.. more than two hours have passed so far.. according to what I believe, two waves or more are coming inevitably"
Before Monali finished her words.. the winds of noise blew again.. this time from the back..
Zzzzz .. Zzzzz .. Zzzzz
The numbers.. doubled again.. more than 7 thousand insects began to emerge consecutively from the forest..
"This time.. the number is very large" Monali muttered then responded quickly..
She was no longer that confused person she had been hours ago..
"Suman.. tell the Rock Battalion to head to the back to intercept the wave again.. Lois, take the soldiers and reduce the momentum of the wave with them.."
The two responded quickly.. but soon Suman returned with bad news
"My lady.. the Rock Fighters refuse to respond to the orders.."
"Whaaat? Are you kidding me" Monali shouted in a moment then headed quickly toward the location of the Rock Leader..
Hardly had she approached until everyone bowed.. including the Leader
"Lady Princess.. why have you left the command? It is dangerous for you to be here" the Leader said with dignity..
"Are you kidding me? Why don’t you respond to orders"
Monali tried as much as possible to control her nerves.. while the Leader’s answer was completely calm..
"My lady.. you must build your plan on your soldiers.. we do not possess enough speed to go there.. even if we moved now.. we would arrive late"
"What are you saying?? It’s not a great distance.. "
"Please excuse us, my lady.. we will continue the fight on this side.. you have the two other leaders.. I do not doubt that they are capable of intercepting this attack"
"Dammit.. then head to the front of the tower and wait there"
"So you have discovered the matter then.. I will wait for the next wave from there.."
Several minutes passed.. the wave was approaching closer to the fourth wall..
Lois, the ten soldiers, and Suman as well.. all of them faced the edges of the wave violently. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Hundreds of insects fell.. but the wave was still heading with its vigor toward the front..
The noise of the strikes and the screams of the butterflies collided consecutively.. and it sounded like an endless symphony.. whenever an insect fell, another appeared making a louder sound from among the trees..
A few days ago.. the decision was made.. to clear the space surrounding the village of trees for a distance of no less than a thousand meters..
The purpose was to reveal the area and see the enemy and its movements.. at the present time, that step was a completely positive thing.. it helped in knowing the directions of the insects’ movement and intercepting them even before reaching the walls..
At the bottom of the tower.. one of the villagers raised a white flag..
Monali’s eyes turned toward him then she smiled..
"Finally" she whispered then jumped toward the location of the flag.. upon her arrival she gave her orders quickly..
The village crowd began to move toward the back in coordination.. and after several minutes.. took a position on the side of the advancing wave without obstacles..
When the village crowd finished their preparation and raised their bows.. Monali jumped..
Not to the bottom.. but to the top of the tower..
The tower was surrounded by a wooden roof.. at that moment Monali jumped onto the roof.. and stood like a pillar heading toward the sky..
The cold night winds played with her shiny hair strands. And the light of the full moon reflected on her sleepy eyes..
She raised her hands, narrowed her eyes, and revealed her Ancient Bow...
She drew it with the lightness of a professional and the yellow color illuminated the entire tower.. everyone’s eyes turned toward the radiant light accumulating bit by bit..
At that moment ...
Swoosh .. Swoosh .. Swoosh
The villagers launched their arrows toward a single point.. toward the middle of the wave’s line extending even to the high trees..
The wave formed of sixty arrows rose high then curved over the wave...
At the same moment ..
SUUUUUUUOOSH ...
The radiant yellow arrow glowed from afar and was launched with insane speed toward the same area the villagers’ arrows had headed..
BOOM .. the villagers’ arrows hit in an instant ...
BOOOOOOOM .. the yellow arrow fell upon them in the very next moment ...
Everyone’s eyes turned toward the massive explosion..
The extended wave line... was finally cut.. and left a gap between the insects..
"Lois.. follow me quickly" Suman shouted. He did not hesitate to launch to exploit the matter..
"Well done" Monali muttered from above with eyes half-closed then drew another arrow quickly..
It was only for a few seconds.. between the yellow arrow hitting the place and between Suman and Lois’s movement..
The yellow arrow strike that killed dozens and cut the extended wave line like a trail of ants.. its effect hardly lasted seconds before the opening filled again..
But Suman grasped the situation quickly and launched.. he jumped without any consideration into the space that had formed between the swarm of insects.. and struck..
He struck with a violence that did not subside..
Lois followed him quickly and delivered her powerful blows one after the other..
The two were dancing in the middle of thousands of insects that sought to close the opening..
Suddenly ...
The insects that were in the lead became advanced beyond the rest.. the matter was like cutting the head of the snake that was moving forward. And when the body tried to catch up with the head.. both Suman and Lois stopped it with all violence..
In the end, the head was left alone moving forward.. while the rest of the body united again to try to find another head..
Swoosh .. Swoosh .. Swoosh
The villagers’ arrows launched again toward the lonely head.. and in an instant
The Princess’s intense arrow flashed again and struck..
The head in its current state was like a fractured head that was helpless..
While the main body that Suman and Lois had stopped.. had already recovered despite the intensity of the fighters..
In the third volley of the villagers.. with Monali’s help from atop the tower..
The head finally fell, leaving a limited number of insects.. they hit the wall quickly and were forced to change their direction to walk in a circular manner around the wall..
Near the trees.. finally the last of the insects emerged..
But ...
Monali’s eyes narrowed as she witnessed the ten fighters withdrawing to the back as a result of losing most of their Accumulation..
And again.. Suman and Lois jumped to the sides.
"They have formed a new lead-head quickly.. cursed insects" Lois shouted. While she looked toward her internal Accumulation again..
The wave launched again toward the wall..
Swoosh .. Swoosh .. Swoosh
The villagers delivered another strike again.
And another arrow from Monali followed it..
An opening formed again..
Suman bore his weight.. then launched a second time toward the wave. This time he and Lois were alone.. his wolves headed to the back hunting the insects without obstacles..
Again.. the two leaders stood with all resolve and stopped the body from catching up with its new head..
When the head finally launched alone.. it fell into the trap again.. and was hunted by the villagers and Monali..
After several minutes.. the large wave had been divided into several scattered waves..
The villagers returned toward the village after the end of the specified time for the arrows..
"Five small waves.. each one with about 300 insects.. can the wall repel them?" Monali muttered.. while she looked toward her Accumulation with worry..
In the open ground ...
Suman fell with less than 10% of the remaining Accumulation.. while Lois was at 20%
The ten soldiers had already retreated with less than 30%
Amidst exhaustion and inability..
The five waves approached one after the other toward the fourth wall..
BOOM .. BOOM .. BOOM .. BOOM .. BOOM
In a moment ....
The waves collided violently.. and the sound of the collision echoed loudly like a shattering..
In a moment.. large numbers of insects fell as a result of the collision ...
And also ..
The fourth wall was brought down violently .
At the same time ...
Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz .. Zzzzzzz
The ominous sounds echoed once again.. carrying an escalating fear within everyone’s souls..
In front of the tower.. a thousand meters away.. the swarms of insect legions emerged in numbers that the eyes of Monali and the rest had never witnessed..
More than ten thousand insects, packed together like an unbreakable wall.. advanced slowly toward the village ...
While the city’s leaders grew heavy with the exhaustion cast upon their shoulders ...
