66 Infiltration (1/2)

”Don't worry, you're in safe hands. The Hawk Forces are here.”

As soon as the injured people heard Merlin's words, all of them had the urge to cry. There are people here who are in terrible states. Some were even at the verge of breaking down because of pain.

Merlin showed a smiled but her chest hurt by this sight. The situation here is even more terrible that what she imagined. She knew that it wasn't the forces' fault that they arrived late but she was somewhat blaming herself because she arrived too late. There's at least 20 people who died, the rest are either missing a limb or groaning in pain.

She placed a determined expression and waved her staff. Yellow light emerged from her body that gave her a holy look. She raised her staff and uttered: ”Salvation Field!”

Instantly, a yellow brilliance scattered into a vast magical circle that covered the whole bay. The magical circle emitted a brilliant flash of yellow light that touched every injured person in here. Anyone who's injured that was touched by this light felt like a weight was lifted from their chest. There was a strange calmness that drowned over them, a feeling of being cradled by a cloud. Their injuries started recovering in a faster pace and the process didn't even caused them any kind of discomfort at all.

The people who were previously groaning in extreme pain were now sleeping peacefully, the solemn air that was present disappeared and replaced by a calming scene, anyone who gazed at Merlin's work might say that she is performing a miracle right now.

”Oh, you used the Salvation Field! The situation must be vert serious huh?” Malik and Raphael arrived dragging injured soldiers on their backs.

Merlin nodded and said: ”These people will experience a severe trauma if I didn't do anything.”

”The medics are also here, let's regroup with boss so that we can take down this mess.” Raphael said as he gently placed the soldier down.

”Maya!” Merlin called, instantly a petite and black haired girl in ponytail walked towards her, she's were a green overalls with a military vest on her chest and some knee pads. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Yes Teacher?” Maya replied as soon as she gotten close.

”Set up a C-ranked Medicinal Cistern nearby, once the patients wakes up, have drink a glass and check their vitals. Once your's done with everyone, discuss to them the compensation for their service according to legal documents, understood?”

”Yes Teacher.” Maya nodded and immediately went to work.

Merlin nodded to Malik and Raphael, they then proceeded to walk towards the main camp and discuss tactics with Luis. As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Beatrice in there as well as Julius who had already returned from his scouting mission. Everyone saw that Julius is already drawing a map according to what he saw inside. Luis saw that Julius finished drawing so he ordered:

”How's the interior looking?”

”Ugly.” Julius scowled which made the others frown. ”The hill has at least has multiple entrances, I've counted five but there should be more. Each holes were a tunnel that lead to a certain divisions or another forked path which makes it incredibly confusing.”

”And since this is an Ant Hill, there's of course ants everywhere.” Julius pointed on the map that he made and continued: ”Just in this room alone, there are at least 50 of those beasts waiting to be deployed. This room also had multiple holes on the ceilings which they used to emerge in any spot of the battlefield.”

He pointed at another place on the map and said: ”This place is one of their storage areas, this also where they make their foods from the victims they had.” Pointing at another spot, ”This placed is where the babies are, and right next to it is where they hoard items they've gotten from their victims.”

Pointing one again on the map he said: ”This is probably the busiest and largest area as far as I'm concerned. I've seen at least ten Soldier Ants moving to and from this area. There's also multiple Worker Ants on standby here. I've counted hundreds when I got there, but that might change since this place also leads into a multiple forked paths. I was trying to be careful and only ventured on one path and saw Eggs. Lots of them, guarded by five Alpha Soldier Ants and they are armed for what ever reason. Due to time, I wasn't able to locate the queen, that's my bad.”

”This is...” Beatrice was a bit speechless.
