On the other side, General Killock had been silently watching the Vikal Kingdom army the entire ti.
That was because before Count Zwein left, he had given instructions to General Killock.
General Killock had been leading the army to follow behind the Vikal Kingdom army the entire ti. They had been so focused on chasing down Count Zwein's group that they never noticed General Killock's group.
But even when they reached this cave and General Killock had already surrounded the Vikal Kingdom army, they had never made a move.
That was because Count Zwein had given him the order to remain in place until he saw movent from inside of the cave.
So it was only when the ants started pouring out that General Killock started moving his n. However, he didn't let his n attack the Vikal Kingdom army right as the ants ca out.
After following Count Zwein for so ti now, he knew that none of his moves were simple.
Since the ants were facing the Vikal Kingdom army, then it was very likely that sothing similar to the Rising Land Plains would happen again here. So he knew that it was better to wait for the right chance to strike instead of attacking right away.
That was why the arrows only fell down when the ants had shown what they were capable of.
General Killock knew what General Risen would be thinking at this ti as a fellow general, so of course he wouldn't be giving him that chance. The mont that General Risen wanted to retreat, there were arrows that rained down on the Vikal Kingdom army.
At the sa ti, General Killock gave the order, "Everyone, stand and fire!"
There were more archers that appeared all of a sudden and fired a second volley.
General Killock knew that in situations like this, it was best to have multiple lines firing continuously to create pressure on the enemy.
But he didn't attack them right after the first volley since he had wanted to throw them into chaos before that.
This plan worked perfectly as the Vikal Kingdom soldiers were completely thrown into a panic at this.
There were many soldiers that didn't know which way to turn as they were being attacked from two different directions. So there were many soldiers that were just spinning their shields around.
These soldiers were stabbed in the back either by arrows or by the pincers of the ants attacking them.
In an instant, there were many Vikal Kingdom soldiers that fell.
General Killock knew that there was no need for him to give any more orders since his n knew what to do, so he picked up a bow and arrow as well.
As a general, he naturally knew how to use bows as well as fight with swords and spears.
His target was...General Risen.
As a general who had served in the military for many years, he had naturally faced the various generals of the surrounding kingdom.
This General Risen was one of the ones that he actually had a rivalry with because of sothing that happened in the past.
General Risen had been the cause of one of his most embarrassing defeats, so it was impossible for him to forget this General Risen.
Today, he would take his revenge.
He could even thank Count Zwein for giving him this chance to take this revenge.
Taking a deep breath, General Killock fired an arrow that went straight and true for General Risen.
However, General Risen was not a pushover.
There was a reason why he had defeated General Killock on the battlefield before.
At the very last second, General Risen turned and slashed the arrow out of the air with a single swing of his sword.
That arrow was cut in half and fell to the ground beside him, but General Risen didn't stop as his eyes turned to look at General Killock standing above him.
Just like how General Killock recognized General Risen, it was the sa for General Risen.
After all, he had t this General Killock for many years on the battlefield.
After a long silence, General Risen said, "Work with us to take care of these ants! I'm sure that you wouldn't want this in your kingdom, right?!"
General Killock just gave a cold laugh before saying, "You think that we can't deal with them?"
General Risen slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but then he said, "Your general is still inside of the cave, do you not care about what happens to him? If you help us, we will help you get him."
General Killock didn't waver at all as he said, "You can say what you want, but you won't be able to escape this place today. You will fall under our arrows or under the jaws of these ants."
General Risen's expression beca very ugly after hearing this before he said, "You will regret this! You cannot control these ants, you will all die under their pincers at this rate!"
The only response that General Killock gave was to raise his bow again to point at General Risen.
General Risen's expression beca uglier, but there was nothing that he could do about this.
After all, it was clear who had the advantage here.
General Killock fired his arrow as he said, "Keep up the waves of arrows and don't give them even a second of respite."
In response to this, the archers just kept firing in sequence.
General Risen cut down the arrow that ca his way again before saying, "Group up and break out! Don't worry about the ants, we're just focusing on retreating!"
The two sides did what they could, but it was very clear what the results would be.
As ti passed, more and more of the Vikal Kingdom soldiers started to fall under the arrows and the pincers of the ants.
But as this happened, there was sothing that General Killock was worried about.
There were still many ants that were left…
