Chapter 605 Chimera Ants (1)
It was the exact same as the cave layout that I had seen in the game.
I was just standing there in a daze, as if I was lost in my thoughts as I stared at this cave.
For a moment, it was as if I had been sent back to my old world and I was just staring at this game world through a screen.
But there wasn't the time to think about all of this.
"General, what do we do now?"
As soon as I heard this, I snapped out of my daze and said, "Follow me and make sure to walk in the exact same spots that I'm walking. If one of you is off, then we'll all be in danger."
All of them gave a gulp when they heard this, but they nodded in agreement to this.
As I stepped forward, I suddenly closed my eyes.
"General? What are you doing closing your eyes?!"
They said as soon as I did this, but I just ignored them as I stepped forward.
This was a dungeon that I had done many times before since this was a dungeon that one could farm. Especially since the monsters that were in this dungeon bred very quickly, which refilled the dungeon very quickly.
So I could find the safe path for this place with my eyes closed.
Or rather, it was easier for me to take the safe path with my eyes closed since that would allow my memories to come easier. It was better to rely on muscle memory than to rely on trying to figure it out with my sight.
Taking a deep breath, I took a step forward.
Then I took two more steps forward before suddenly stopping.
Turning to the left, I took two steps and stopped.
Turning to the right, I took three steps and stopped.
Turning to the right again, I took another three steps and stopped.
Just like this, I progressed deeper into the cave with this strange method of movement.
While I was doing this, my subordinates just looked at me with very strange looks.
They had been too stunned by this that they almost forgot to follow me.
If it wasn't for Cecilia who blindly trusted me getting them to move, then I might have actually left them behind.
It was only because of her following me and telling the others to follow that they remembered to follow my exact path.
After heading a bit deeper into the cave, I heard some noise coming from behind us.
At the same time, I heard Cecilia say, "They're here."
I just gave a simple nod before continuing forward since we were already on the edge of this maze. As long as we made it to the other side, there was nothing for us to worry about.
So I just focused on getting us to the other side.
"Stop and surrender! As long as you surrender, we will go easy on you!"
I heard that coming from behind us, but I just completely ignored it as I continued forward.
Finally, I opened my eyes after reaching the end and waving my hand for my group to come over.
They saw that I was waving at them, but they made sure to remain right behind me until I said, "It's fine now, you don't have to follow me anymore. Just stand behind me and don't go back or else something might happen."
They all nodded to acknowledge this before even taking a step back.
However, on the other side, there were some people that misunderstood what I meant by this wave of the hand.
General Risen didn't charge in with his troops, so the one that was currently in command was one of the commanders that he trusted. However, what kind of general determined what kind of commanders were under him.
When this commander saw Count Zwein waving his hand, he thought that it meant…
"Come and get me."
This would be considered a very simple provocation that most people would have ignored, but the commander didn't.
It was for two simple reasons.
One, he believed that he was better than Count Zwein, so he could easily take him down.
Two, it was because he didn't believe that there would be anything dangerous in this cave.
He could even see the back of this cave, so he knew that there was nowhere for this group to go.
Yet they still wanted to run?
He wouldn't let them.
The commander raised his hand and said, "Fire the arrows and turn them into pincushions."
The general had already said that there was no need to take them alive, so he wouldn't hesitate.
After all, there was nothing to lose from using arrows to take care of them.
The archers all aimed at the group that was on the other side of the cave and fired their arrows.
But the moment that the arrows made it halfway, there was something that suddenly caused the arrows to fly upwards. These arrows were pushed up by some kind of strange force and all of them stuck to the roof.
The Vikal Kingdom soldiers were all caught off guard when they saw this, but the commander didn't remain stunned for long.
He knew that there must be something strange about this cave that the enemies had chosen to run into this place.
But other than a few tricks, the commander didn't believe that this enemy was capable of anything else. Especially since they were completely outnumbered at this point.
So the commander said, "Go and get them. Surround them and take them down."
Once they received this order, the soldiers took a formation with spears and shields, moving towards the enemy group.
But as they did, they passed over the area that the enemies had just passed…
