Chapter 225: Untitled
"It disappeared."
"It sniffed our scent and ran away. How bizarre."
Lvzi remarked.
"I should’ve attacked earlier. We should’ve captured it regardless! Bringing a live reincarnator back to Mom would’ve made her ecstatic!"
"Let it go. Your acid might’ve worked if it hit, but a missed shot could’ve brought greater dangers."
Being hunted by such a swift giant wolf would make anyone uneasy.
Army Lady gestured to her companions.
"We should return for now."
"Agreed."
Their figures dissolved into shadows darting through the woodland…
…
Elsewhere.
Lin Yu shifted her consciousness to the Flying Ant Purple Cloud.
«Targets spotted! Mom! Countless goblins!»
«Understood.»
Emerald dots swarmed toward Granville Monster Forest in serpentine formation, the vanguard of the Goblin Tribe already penetrating the tree line.
Ah… The visual feed started trembling again.
Such altitude… This vertigo…
Though Purple Cloud had been warned against reckless aerial maneuvers, the ant’s inherent playfulness prevailed – much like Magic Rainbow’s magical obsessions or Army Lady’s combat passion. Grounding these flight-loving sisters proved impossible…
Still, while equally mischievous, the elder Purple Cloud showed marginally better discipline.
Curiously, though born simultaneously, the twins had gradually adopted sisterly titles. This contrasted with Lvzi and Army Lady’s initial detachment despite sharing the same birth circumstances.
Yet… Hadn’t their camaraderie deepened during the human race town stay?
Wait – weren’t they supposed to be handling that southern hills mission? How progressed?
My Goblin Tribe surveillance nearly made me forget!
Lin Yu "connected" with Army Lady’s consciousness.
«Mother!»
«Report your -»
The transferred vision revealed bloodstained uniforms, Lvzi’s blouse particularly marked.
«What occurred?»
"Mom, we encountered a Reincarnator."
Army Lady then recounted to Lin Yu the series of events that unfolded after they discovered Luo Yong, the Goblin Reincarnator.
"Is Lvzi unharmed?"
"Yes."
Only after Army Lady’s reiterated confirmation did Lin Yu release a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
But relief quickly gave way to rising fury.
Someone truly had been reincarnated as a goblin – and what a vile creature he turned out to be!
The horrific account of Naner Village’s devastation, relayed through Army Lady and Lvzi’s descriptions alone, had chilled her to the bone. To discover this atrocity was orchestrated by a fellow reincarnator…
This monster hadn’t merely ordered his goblin horde to slaughter villagers – he’d used the women as breeding stock. Those who failed to birth goblins were devoured. Those who succeeded mostly bled to death, only to meet the same gruesome fate post-partum regardless.
How utterly depraved!
Had this wretch been a criminal in his previous life?
Not that human village affairs concerned her particularly.
What truly ignited her wrath was the brutal death inflicted upon Lvzi.
Among all the skills bestowed upon her daughter, "Immortality" alone carried strict testing restrictions.
Should the skill fail… The mere thought of permanent loss made her shudder. The risk outweighed any curiosity.
And yet…
Severed arms. A sword through the chest. A shattered skull… The agony must have been excruciating.
Was Lvzi truly unaffected?
Were it me… She shuddered. I’d have surely wept from the torment! No, wailed outright – I’ve never borne pain well.
Psychological scars seemed inevitable too.
Hmm. When Lvzi returns, I should prepare special rewards. She’s endured so bravely.
Now then.
Another reincarnator besides this Luo Yong?
Not human-born either, but reborn as a giant wolf… Pfft! Practically a overgrown mutt. How pitiful.
Yet why would this canine creature assist Lvzi’s group?
Because dogs are humanity’s loyal companions? Hardly – and besides, Lvzi and her companions aren’t even human.
Well…
Regardless, the wolf poses no immediate threat.
As for our current adversary…
The white-haired maiden’s eyes glinted like frost-kissed steel.
This Luo Yong requires elimination.
Fortunately, my capable daughters have already uncovered his vulnerability.
By eliminating the goblins under his command, particularly the high-ranking ones, we can diminish his core attributes.
"You three stay put for now. I’ll dispatch Purple Mist with a squadron of Flying Ants to monitor that Goblin Reincarnator. When his attributes sufficiently deteriorate, you’ll make your move."
Lin Yu’s words momentarily hung in the air.
"I require him captured alive. His final breath belongs to me."
"…Understood, Mother."
After severing the connection, Lin Yu commanded Purple Mist to lead a dozen Flying Ants toward the southern hill range. Their swift flight would soon bring them to the terrain where reincarnator Luo Yong lurked.
With preparations settled, the queen refocused on the approaching Goblin Tribes.
Following the initial tribe’s forest incursion, the second and third units had infiltrated the woodland, advancing steadily toward the First Ant Nest. The goblin horde swept through like devouring locusts, slaughtering or driving away every monster in their path.
Seventeen Goblin Tribes comprising approximately 25,000 to 30,000 warriors marched against them. The Ant Colony’s combat forces—excluding Worker Ants and nest guardians—numbered merely half their adversaries. Yet the ants’ superior aptitude and levels promised minimal casualties if tactics held.
As the vanguard tribes encroached upon the First Ant Nest’s perimeter, the lead tribe began dispersing scouts.
The moment crystallized.
"Commence."
"By your will, Mother!"
"Aye, Mother!"
The Stealth Ant unit and daughters including Red Pupil and Magic Rainbow echoed their acknowledgment. Through subterranean tunnels, the Ant Tribe mobilized with military precision, erupting from countless nest openings around the strategic zone. Within heartbeats, the terrain swarmed with warriors lunging at nearby goblins.
"Gaba?!"
"Gaba!!"
Panicked shrieks filled the air as mandibles snapped goblin spines. The Goblin Kings roared orders, steadying their tribesmen into defensive formations—a fleeting cohesion.
Shadows materialized beside the bellowing monarchs, morphing into gray-armored assassins. The Stealth Ants’ blitz left the distracted Kings grievously wounded before finishing them in successive strikes. Leaderless, the tribes dissolved into pandemonium.
"Annihilate them all."
