Chapter 620 Cleaning up
However, regardless of how uneasy they felt, the ants didn't do anything.
Once they had taken care of the Vikal Kingdom army, they just stood there as if they were in a daze.
They didn't seem like they were about to do anything with the way that they just stood there.
But just them standing there made General Killock and the rest of his men nervous.
In the end, General Killock went over to Count Zwein and asked, "General, is it true that you can control these ants?"
When I saw him come over, I finally snapped out of my thoughts. Before this, I had been staring at the Vikal Kingdom troops as if I was deeply lost in thought.
After snapping out of my thoughts, I turned to look at General Killock and said with a nod, "That's right. I can control them."
As soon as he heard this, General Killock looked at me with a strange look.
This was clearly the look that one gave someone that they couldn't understand. This was the look that one gave someone that was a complete monster.
Just like how General Risen had looked at me earlier.
But I wasn't bothered by this at all.
Rather, I felt that it even seemed like this would be the norm for now on.
After a long silence, General Killock asked, "What should we do with them now? Are we going to take them back with us?"
He had already seen the terrifying power that these Chimera Ants had, so that was the last thing that he wanted to do. In fact, there was a part of him that wanted to massacre these ants so that they would never appear in this world again.
But he couldn't do that since these ants belonged to Count Zwein.
While General Killock didn't know what method Count Zwein had used to make these ants obey his command, he could see how easily Count Zwein controlled them. It was almost as if he was controlling them like they were his puppets.
With how powerful these ants were, General Killock didn't think that Count Zwein would be willing to destroy them.
These ants would surely be a powerful force controlled by Count Zwein in the future.
This would not be something that he would want to destroy.
Or at least that was what General Killock thought.
However, the truth was completely different from what he thought the truth was.
I just looked at the ants with a calm look on my face and said, "These things are too dangerous to leave here. I think that we should destroy them before they can do any harm to anyone."
General Killock looked at me with a surprised look when he heard this before slowly asking, "General, are you sure about this?"
There were of course other things that he wanted to say, but it seemed that he held himself back when it came to this.
I just simply gave a nod before saying, "There's no need to keep them alive anymore if they are just going to hurt the people of our kingdom if left unchecked. It is better to dig out the roots than to leave them be for the future generation to suffer."
General Killock looked at me with an even more surprised look before revealing a firm look.
It was clear that he agreed with what I said.
I could even see the trace of admiration that was in his eyes, as if he was in awe of my decision.
But what he didn't know was that I actually wanted these ants to die as well.
I could control them with the queen ant, but that didn't mean that they were loyal to me or her. These ants were the ants that had been born to the queen ant that I had killed, so they would still follow her.
Instead of leaving them to be betrayed by them in the future, it was better to take care of them all now.
My queen ant would be able to give me much more loyal and stronger ants for the future.
Once that decision was made, General Killlock said, "I'll go and get the men to take care of it. As long as you can restrain the ants for us, we'll be able to take care of them."
But before he could leave, I raised a hand and said, "No, there's no need for that. They'll take care of themselves."
General Killock revealed a confused look when he heard this, but he didn't get a chance to ask anything.
That was because the ants gave him his answer.
All of a sudden, there was an ant that attacked another ant.
This was the catalyst for the full scale chaos that followed.
After that first ant attacked another ant, the other ants also started attacking each other.
There were more and more ants that joined in until all of the ants were killing each other. They didn't seem to hold anything back as they attacked each other, only aiming to kill..
But if one looked closely, they would be able to see the unwilling look in the eyes of these ants. It was clear that they didn't want to do this, but it was as if they had no other choice.
Seeing this, I gave a simple nod before turning to leave.
Though before leaving, I turned back to say to General Killock, "Feel free to watch over them to ensure that they all kill each other."
General Killock felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.
There was a part of him that already knew this, but seeing the cold side of Count Zwein from time to time really was something else.
He already knew that Count Zwein was a coldhearted individual since he could mastermind the slaughter of the Rising Land Plains.
But now he couldn't help feeling even more afraid of him after seeing this.
I just walked off without knowing what was happening in General Killock's mind.
