29 Episode 28 Legion Ant.txt (1/2)
Bellamus served Arraune and the others.
There were at least eight hundred Arraune's men.
But they didn't eat as much and consumed less food than expected.
After distributing the food, Vellumus went to find Delarosa and the others.
”Huh? Where is that strange goblin you were just negotiating with me for? There was something I wanted to talk to you about.
Elenchy speaks to the chief in goblin-speak.
'You mean Vellums? He's not a goblin, he's a man.
Really. I thought it had no horns and was a different color, but it was human.
So what's the story? I'll ask him for you, if Vellums isn't here on an urgent matter.
Okay. I wanted to tell you why our village was destroyed. It's all about the survival of this goblin village. ......
Elensee said with a serious expression on his face.
He has something important to tell them, so the mayor decides to gather everyone in the village and listen to what he has to say.
As the goblins gather, Elenchy begins to speak.
Have you ever heard of the monster known as the Legionnaire Ant?
Legion of Honor?
An ant monster?
The goblins don't seem to know what they are.
”...... isn't a Legionnaire?
Only the Mayor seems to know what he's talking about.
”You've heard of this village, chief?
'Al. I have never seen it in person, but it is said to be one of the most powerful demons of all. It is said to be one of the most powerful demons of all.
What kind of demon are you: ......?
Legionnaire Ant.
They look like bipedal ants.
Although it appears to have many ants, these ants are all individual creatures.
The legion ants have a kind of mainframe that creates all of them, called the ant core.
When this core disappears, all Legion ants cease to exist.
The antho-core consumes nutrients to create new legion ants.
There are different types of ants, and the Ant Core first creates a highly intelligent and powerful queen ant that governs all ants.
Since the Ant Core is only capable of producing ants, it needs an ant to lead them.
The soldier ants listen to the commands of the queen ants and bring nutrients from the outside to the ant core.
As their numbers grow, so do the general ants and leader ants.
Legion ants start out small. They start out small, slightly larger than normal ants.
But as they evolve, legion ants grow larger.
Unlike other monsters, they don't need to eat a specific monster.
When the total number of legion ants reaches a certain level, they evolve.
As the ants continue to evolve, they will grow to human size.
And the one that attacked our village was as big as an ordinary goblin. At that size, the total number of ants must have exceeded ten thousand.
Ma-ten thousand?
You can't even imagine what that is: ......
The goblins begin to buzz.
''But I've heard that the ferocious Legionnaires are crushed when their numbers start to grow a bit, or that the Legionnaires who are numerous aren't as ferocious as they should be, Jaga.
''That's right . The legion ant's nest had been recognized for a long time, but they didn't hunt too vigorously, gathering nutrients little by little, so they didn't crush it. But all of a sudden, the ants went berserk .
