Chapter 100 - Shadow Moon XLI (1/2)
Queen heard the explosions and thought its one of her bomb traps that exploded, she even grinned when she thought about the idiot who set them up. But she notices the tensed and panic expression of her men.
”What's going on?” She asks.
”My Queen the enemy used some kind of air canon its very powerful not only blows the poisonous clouds but also all the debris within 300 meters on our way. Team B, C, and E was caught by the blast we lost communication from them.”
Queen's face paled when she heard it 3 of her 5 teams lost at the same time, was a great blow to her, and her men.
”F.u.c.k! No!” She screams her impression as a Queen is gone. Her men when they saw her was stunned everyone looks at her, Queen immediately notice it and force her self to calm down.
”It's a sad day for us the lost of your bother and sister my children are a big lost for me, for us sigh, change of plans call back the remaining teams and regroup in the base.” Said Queen with a saddened look on her face.
Queen knows she needs to keep up the appearance as their Queen if she wants to survive this crisis. The devotion of her men must not falter at all cost, she lost her composure for a moment a bit earlier, she knows that must not happen again. Or her men will doubt her capability, and once doubt takes root there's no stopping it from spreading, She must not let that happen at all cost.
”Yes my Queen” they all responded but their voice is not as fanatic as it was in the past. The invincible Queen they idolized is starting to crack.
Queen also notices the changes in the looks of her men, before their look is full of fanaticism but after her outburst, the fanaticism in their voice and looks have faded a lot.
She cursed inside for her blunder but there's nothing she can do about it, she only hopes their devotions last until this crisis is over, her only goal is to survive she won't hesitate to sacrifice them all for her survival. Her life takes precedence above all else.

Biggs saw the effect of the cannon and grinned. ”I Should have used that earlier,” he said in his mind ”move in and cleared the area and charge the air cannon again we will use that to clear a path for us.” He ordered.
”I will pay attention to the weapons demonstration next time.” Biggs swears inside his mind.
Back then he rather trained than participate in the weapons and machines demonstrations. Biggs always scold him for it, but he just laughs, he was no soldier after all his real profession is a bodyguard, after all, so didn't really care much about military weapons and machine. Now he regretted not paying attention to it.
”How far away we are from the enemy base?”
