Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Do You Treat This Place Like Home?

Even though there were many humanoid monsters born from the explosion of the meat mountain, they were all eventually destroyed by the ant clan.

Seeing countless terrifying Class A monsters being completely wiped out by an even larger group of more powerful ant monsters, the soldiers and adventurers were truly shocked.

Not only did the ant monsters make them tremble, but the five giant dragons flying in the sky also filled their hearts with fear.

Seeing that one of the goals of this journey had been achieved, Magic Rainbow felt a sense of satisfaction.

Next came the meeting between the human race and the ant tribe.

As the “Queen Ant,” Demon Nine commanded her ant subjects to clean the battlefield and care for the injured, then invited Magic Rainbow, the “Kingdom Chief Mage,” and General Ganther, who could be considered the kingdom’s uncle, to discuss matters at Foggy Castle, surrounded by humanoid ant tribe members with two antennae on their heads.

“It is our honor, Sir Lin Jiu.”

For the invitation from the current ant tribe Queen Ant, who was actually his close sister, Magic Rainbow smiled and agreed.

Since she had to play the role of Queen Ant, the name Demon Nine was no longer appropriate, so after some discussion, they decided to use the name ‘Lin Jiu.’

Demon Nine, the ant, had no objections to this and actually liked the name very much.

After all, it shares the same surname as her mother.

After hearing Magic Rainbow’s name, Demon Nine’s smile grew even wider.

After Magic Rainbow agreed, she looked at the tall, strong middle-aged man in golden armor and asked him,

“What does General Ganther think?”

“Since it is an invitation from the kingdom’s benefactor, I would be happy to accept,” Ganther quickly replied, still in shock.

He had just seen how powerful that monster made of flesh was, and if it wasn’t for these ant monsters, the destruction it would cause in the kingdom was unimaginable. So calling it a benefactor of the kingdom was not wrong.

As for how to respond to this invitation from the kingdom’s benefactor?

Refuse? That would be a joke. These ant monsters could easily wipe out their group, so what good would come from refusing?

Moreover, as the kingdom’s great general, he also had the responsibility to engage with these ant creatures and understand their intentions.

He couldn’t believe that the other party would help the kingdom solve the moving disaster of Devouring Demon Mountain for no reason.

However… speaking of which, why did all these transformed ant people look like stunning beauties? And if it weren’t for the two antennas on their heads, they would look just like ordinary humans.

One reason Ganther was stunned earlier was because of the appearance of these humanoid ant beings.

He believed he had seen some beauties in his life, but it was the first time he saw so many at once. Even in the royal palace, there didn’t seem to be so many exceptional princesses, right?

Yet he was not someone who was overly fascinated by beauty; after glancing once or twice, he didn’t dare to look again.

Generally, powerful monsters could transform into humanoid forms, just like the little girl with black hair and red eyes standing beside the Queen Ant named ‘Lin Jiu.’

To be able to change into that huge ant monster and cause such a massive explosion… Ganther still found it hard to believe now.

This showed that the other humanoid ant beings standing next to the ‘Queen Ant’ might not be any less impressive than that little girl.

Thinking of this, how could Ganther dare to look at them for a moment longer?

Luckily, Lord Magic Rainbow was with them on this journey, which gave Ganther a bit of confidence, so he didn’t feel too weak to walk. Ganther thought to himself with a bitter smile.

Ganther only brought along a little over ten personal guards, sending the other soldiers and adventurers back the way they came.

Then, under the lead of the ‘Queen Ant’ and a group of humanoid ant creatures, they headed towards Foggy Castle, escorted by several ant squads.

Along the way, the sights in the forest amazed Ganther and the others.

They had seen many monsters in the forest, from powerful creatures to weak ones like goblins, but when these monsters saw the ant tribe, they did not charge or flee; instead, they all lay flat on the ground, not daring to move.

Even if it was just one or two, it was impressive, but to have all the monsters behave this way was like having obedient pets.

Could it be that this vast Granville Monster Forest has become the territory of these ant creatures?

When they realized they were going to the forbidden forest known as the ‘Death Fog Zone,’ Ganther and the others’ expressions changed.

After walking carefully for a while in the Fog Zone, everyone arrived at the huge castle that had been repaired by workers.

The castle now looked brand new, less worn and old, but even more magnificent and grand.

Demon Nine invited Magic Rainbow and Ganther into the castle, while the other guards remained outside.

After chatting along the way and feeling the kindness in Demon Nine’s words, Ganther clearly relaxed a bit.

The following conversation was about the establishment of the Ant Clan’s nation.

Since the Ant Clan decided not to hide their existence anymore and chose to stand on the continent’s stage, they might as well aim for something bigger.

First, they would show their strength by defeating a mountain of monsters, and then they would establish their nation in the Granville Monster Forest.

However, you cannot just say you are a nation; at least, you need the recognition of one of the two major powers on the continent: the Rollo Kingdom or the Deta Empire… otherwise, the claim of being a nation would just be a joke.

If a choice must be made between the two, then getting the kingdom’s recognition is undoubtedly the best option.

After all, if we really think about it, Granville Monster Forest also belongs to the kingdom’s territory.

If the Ant Clan declares independence in this area, it is almost like they are taking a piece of land from the kingdom to create their own nation.

And it’s not just Granville Monster Forest; this time the Ant Clan also plans to include Aowenduo Town and its surrounding villages, including Western Village One, into their territory.

Ganther had no reaction to the former, Granville Monster Forest, as the kingdom originally could not control this Monster Forest. However, Aowenduo Town is different; even if it is a small town on the edge, it is still land where the kingdom’s people live.

“Does Queen Ant want land or… ? If it’s just land, I can send people to the town to take over and have the human race move out—”

“I want both land and people.”

Before Ganther could finish speaking, Demon Nine, sitting on the sofa across from him, smiled and said.

“Both… both?”

Ganther’s lips trembled.

“May I ask if you want to—”

However, this time, before he could finish speaking, Magic Rainbow stood up with a cold snort.

“The land can be given to you, but the people of my kingdom will never be given to you! Lin Jiu, I didn’t say that we would hand over the human towns when I asked your ant tribe to fight against the meat mountain monster.”

Magic Rainbow’s rude tone made Ganther’s face turn pale at once.

Although it was for the people of the kingdom, this lady really does not fear death…

Right now, they are in a pile of monsters, and he has to think hard about how to politely refuse.

She, on the other hand, was completely ungracious and might as well have slammed the table; does she think this place is her home?
