69 Raid Begins

Chapter 68: Raid Begins----Two days left before the Queen's ascension-"Are all camps prepared?""Prepared and ready Sir!""Elite Force, have you finished your preparations?" "All done Sir!""Good!" Luis smiled and turned around to check with Bradley and his team. "You prepared Brother?"Bradley nodded and said: "Ready whenever your are Brother."Luis nodded back and turned over to his team: "The plan had been discussed to you by your captains. It's time. Smoke out!"As soon as he gave the order. One group, composed of at least 10 people, led by Julius turned into a puff of black smoke. They slithered towards the ant hill entering different entrances. All of them are running on a mental timer. Luis gave them half an hour to do their part and after that, they have to return back to the team because if not, then they risk of thwarting the plan that Luis made for an entire day.As they were tasked with a stealth mission, of course these people knew not to raise any alarms while also moving swiftly. One by one, they arrived to the respective ends of their paths and as soon as they did, they started running back while throwing some vials full of violet liquid to each room the passed on their way back. Of course, those who encountered where the ants are concentrated were tasked to do a different approach. With bravery in their hearts, their fearlessly moved in closer to the ants and anticipated their patrol route, they placed the vials on the way of the ants, making sure to observe first so that they will step on it before leaving to the same to other places. As time passed by, one man after another started exiting the ant hill, the last one to come out was Julius. They managed to finish their duty ahead of time which was good. Meanwhile, Luis and the rest of the Elite Force are paying attention to the shared vision from the Hawks they left inside. "Reporting, Paralysis Mist scattering. Taking effect in three, two…targets down." Bea announced.That's right. The vials that the Julius and his team were throwing out earlier, contained liquids that transforms into mists as soon as they came in contact with air. They were somewhat the same as the one that Merlin used when they arrived in this camp to shut down the fighting, only the effects of this one is stronger than the one she used earlier. Any living being that came in contact with the violet mist, will lose consciousness as well as having their nerves numbed. The effect is strong enough to knock down pretty much every ant inside the hill."Misc. Rooms, mists application success, no areas missed." Raphael reported.Julius and his team were ordered to spread each vials to every room that they came across to. Luis wasn't taking any chances, so he made sure to reiterate that every room had to be touched by the paralyzing mist. "King's Escorts, all confirmed dead." Malik reported on the side.Luis ordered to double check the King's escorts and assigned it to Malik. Through the shared vision, he could see that the light from their eggs were now gone. The poison that the team had injected in the eggs during the infiltration were effective. Some eggs even outright melted from inside out. "No movement from the Queen's chamber. Plan A success, men move out!" Luis ordered."Sir yer sir!" The whole army roared and with their respective formations, they marched towards the ant hill taking on different entrances. Luis, escorted by the Elite Force and Bradley's force, rode their horses and charged towards the main path. Their target, was the Queen's chamber.***"Alright, initiate the plan." As soon as they arrived, they jumped down from their horses and Luis immediately gave out an order. Everybody took out their weapons and started dismantling the web-like formation that held the queen up. Julius took out his swords and brandished them together. He concentrated for a bit and with a grunt, he slashed both of them down and two fin-shaped sword energies cascaded and clashed through the web, splitting it cleanly.Raphael brandished his sword and slammed it to his shield. He then uttered: "Purifying Flames." His sword was then covered with bright orange flames with patches of yellow that swirled through his sword. He stepped forward and sliced the connection slowly. He watched as the mucus evaporated with the flames on his sword. This actually managed to surprise him a bit since the temperature of the flame was nothing to scoff at, if it where any beast that made contact with this flames, then they would suffer from intense pain and the flames would eventually cover their entire body.But imagine his surprise that when he actually felt that the flames were not very effective to these mucus at all and it was actually taking him a bit of time to sever it. Malik's situation is completely opposite from the two. In terms of pure, raw strength, there's probably no one in this team that could compete with him. Malik waved his great sword like a tree branch and severed one connection after another. There was a maniacal smile in his face as he slashed with overbearing force. The others saw this and could only shake their heads in amusement.Luis were also severing the web like the others but he was also making sure that each of the connection he severed will result into a gentler fall for queen. Though he wasn't sure if the queen was totally unconscious at the current moment.Beatrice and Merlin didn't participate with them and chose to aid Bradley and his team on their task. "Little Priest, if you will..." Bradley turned to Merlin, on which the latter nodded. She lifted her staff and shook it side by side, the rings attached at the top of her staff bumped onto each other which made a ringing sound.Merlin's petite body started emitting holy light, a bubble formed from where she stood and enveloped the whole team. Ripples of blue light shone and when it touched everyone inside the bubble, they felt their strength rising."Ward of Strength." Merlin uttered, after which, the blue ripples intensified and everyone who were exposed onto it felt their strength doubled.But Merlin still isn't finished. With another shake of her staff, another ripple emerged, this time it was green in color."Ward of Endurance." Another blessing from Merlin which raised everyone's endurance. And with another shake of her staff, Merlin provided the last blessing."Ward of Vigor." Which were represented a red ripple from the bubble. Anyone who's exposed to this will have a boost on their recovery and stamina.'She casted 3 Blessing's in one go.' Bradley was surprised, 'She even managed to raise mine for at least 25%, Luis sure is lucky to have a prodigy on his team.' It was understandable that Bradley would be impressed by this young lady. It had to be known that 'Blessings' aren't a something that anyone could do. This requires a great control of energy since she is working with many people here, carelessness on her side might cause injury from another. She also required to have a large energy reserves since the energy spent by this blessings would depend on how many people there are here.To top it all of, she casted three blessings in one go and only sweated. If anyone else were to do the same, then they might've fainted already. Plus, she managed to include Bradley on her blessings even though he is stronger that her. All in all, Merlin is a prodigy of energy control and an awesome priestess."Alright, you guys stand back for a bit." The team nodded and gave him space. Bradley took out his swords and brandished them together, he exhaled a breath and gathered momentum. He raised both of his hands, and flared his energy. He jumped and spun very fast, Bea stretched her bow and released a arrow that's made out of compressed air, the arrow barely grazed Bradley's spinning body but since it's made out of compressed air, it helped him to spin even faster than before. The next thing then know, Bradley already drilled a hole on top of where the queen was. He was soon then followed by the team, in order to prevent their foot from sticking to the mucus, they channeled energy on their feet that automatically prevented that from happening.They jumped to walls and walked vertically, they soon entered the hole that Bradley made an could even hear him drilling his way on the distance. They kept a decent space and tailed him while occasionally picking up some fallen rock debris and throwing it out if the way. Soon, the team managed to reach the first section. Bea nodded to one of the people behind her and that person nodded back, they continued on the way but this one decided to stay here and wait for further instructions.
