Formicea A Path Forward 3

After a short adjustnt period back at the junction, our convoy is ready to depart again.

The princess was so generous as to offer a part of the acquired rations from the camp to the soldiers.

So it seems she at least cares for our wellbeing.

Also, she used this ti to separate the materials from them, which is smart, as it denies them access to the weapons.

However, for so reason, I wasn't allowed to leave her side.

What kind of question is this?

Is she trying to gauge our nation's military potential?

If this is the case, it might suit us more to convince her that we're worthy.

What will we see?

This princess, or rather Princess Chera, is just a trove of cryptic statents.

The journey through the dark continues, with Princess Chera constantly asking all kinds of things.

Of course, the mood is rather low under these circumstances.

The increasing noise of insectoid clicks in this oppressive darkness, which is only curbed by the interspersed glowing stones and tiny patches of luminescent moss, doesn't help in the slightest.

I can't tell for sure, but it might be that we already entered the compound.

We are led through many more corridors, the constant sound of movent a reminder of our situation.

All the ti, Princess Chera seems to administer orders to those flying insects, which buzz off the mont she's done with them.

If she does that constantly, I can see how she got so overworked.

Then we reach so kind of hall.

The illumination through these stones here is a bit better than in the surrounding areas.

From the first look, it seems like many pathways lead here from the side we ca from, but only a single hole is on the other side.

There, many insects are working to expand it and perform various tasks around the opening.

I even see so of the barricades that were acquired.

Is this the place we'll end up?

Is she intending to turn our own barricades against us to confine us?

I have a rather ominous feeling about the way it's presented.

Like there's no way back from the other side.

(D)

(C)

So she's interested in the earth mages?

Certainly, so survived the battle.

Not to a small degree because especially this kind of mage is usually useless in a fight, not to speak of close combat.

A magical alignnt is in terms of physical training a disposition that is holding them back.

So many of them weren't close to the frontlines.

Basically, she wants to rat them out.

But the reason could spell their doom.

After all, they could help dig us out with their powers, once they had ti to rest and aren't watched.

I think I should draw a line here.

(C)

Oh, damn.

I'm rather sure she just got angry.

I begin to translate again, to inform the others of the nature of this, for all apparent, outburst, adding that I think she's rather emotional about this, before she resus to speak.

Although, a bit calr now.

(C)

So she's still going to let them stick with us?

Probably to convince other mages that the ones in the mage group are going to be alright.

What can I say, it works.

Not for all of them, but so more co to the conclusion that she's probably not lying if she promises sothing that can be easily verified by everyone.
