Rezar nodded his head at the growth of the territory and mounted the ant standing in front of him, priest had gotten a bit busy and fashioned a saddle for the ants, making them a lot more comfortable, and capable of utilizing their full speed, without having to worry so much about the discomfort it would cause. To his left was Lenore, and to his right was Screet and Neema sitting comfortably on Brutus. Jason was not back yet, but when he returns, he would be the rear guard with priest and keep the settlement safe.
Gynaika was still surrounded by her followers, they would be responsible for keeping her safe while they carried out the raid on the goblin base. Everything was set, even the plans that needed to be implemented and the contingencies should they fail had been all but completed. And so they marched, the sun was already setting by this point, so the darkness would cloak them well, and that was knowledge Rezar knew the goblin general Tetum would use to his advantage.
They only took fifty of the ants and fifty of the moles, the moles traveled slower, so Neema had sent them ahead over an hour ago with clear instructions, and given that she was telepathically linked to all the moles, undead or alive, she could see what they saw and even felt what they did. The ants rushed through the forest, Rezar was sure the forest had a name, but up on till now they've not discovered that name yet.
But without the trees and dense foliage, the land the forest covers would be a sprawling vista of rolling hills lakes, small creek and streams, ponds, rivers, glades, underground caves, tall cliffs and orchards of fruit trees. There might be a random mine here or there, but this was what this land was like, but above all else it was fertile. A stark difference between the canyons of Toromont and their rustic red desert like décor, and the vibrant green of the forest and its surrounding lands.
They moved fast, and in no time at all they came upon a hill, down below was a small basin surrounded on all sides by tall hills like the one they were upon. There were two entrances in and out of the base, but all of these entrances were actual tunnels into the hills, which is to say this base was similar to the settlement, only there was no visible entrance as opposed to the settlement who's only obvious entrance faced the sea.
The base was quiet, there were a few goblins standing guard, a few other goblins running around doing god knows what, and some out rightly passed out drunk. Apart from that there were hundreds of simple wooden houses spread out in an unorganized manner, but given that this was a military base, an aesthetic approach to construction was not something they would worry about, safe to say, Rezar hated it. Neema had given them and outlay of the base earlier as she had sent her moles ahead, they were able to tell her what to expect and she in turn relayed the message so that they could plan accordingly.
The moles were now digging a trench at both entrances, or rather than calling it a trench it would be easier to say they're digging under the entrance of the base. An area of a 150 square meters would be dug out, with only thin pillars of earth supporting them from within, and few well shaped earth spikes with the help of ten ants and their acids. It was a pitfall trap, only this was much larger and would be quite painful.
But that would be the surprise left behind for when Tetum returned with his army if he's not so busy with chasing those elves. But for now, they would be taking the fight to this poorly defended base and burning everything to the ground. Tetum would come back to find nothing, assuming he survives the wave of attacks Rezar would launch on him and his exhausted and caught unawares army. This was step one.
"Lenore collapse the entrances." Rezar ordered as he pulled out one of his trusty sickles (He needs to replace them soon though)
[Hellfire: Wild Bloom]
Four blood red flames flew out of her staff, looks like she would be going the mage route for this fight. The flames were the size of basketballs and two split from the four going in one direction to the north entrance, while the others went to the south. The flames glowed brightly enough that even some of the goblins that were sleeping were roused from their sleep, and then they went in to the tunnels and came to a stop in the middle, and then…
*Boooom! * *Boooom! *
The balls of flames exploded, going from the size of a basketball, to the size of a truck, doing more than just collapsing the tunnel entrances, but bringing down the entire hill. The soldiers who were guarding the entrances were also blown to bits as chaos ensued within the camp. Rezar turned to his undead and his comrades, and with a bored look on his face he said.
"Kill them all."
