When the queen died Venetos and Chrysis kneeled and pledged their loyalty, and all the other ants in the cave felt a difference and showed their way of submitting by releasing a unique chemical throughout the tunnels.
Ding!
[you have gained a new title: commander of a thousand soldier]
[you can now grant names allowing the named individuals to have a system and the ability to transform to their human forms after evolution NOTE: you are currently limited to naming [0/10] individuals]
"Oh, this is interesting, they can have a system and transform to humans, that will be useful when we finally reach human areas, Venetos, Chrysis, come here"
'Yes! Your majesty'
"I'm going to name you guys, would you like to keep your current names or change them?"
'Change our names! Your majesty, we are satisfied with our current names as they are connected to our carapace, my brother has a blue one so he is named Venetos and mine is gold so I'm Chrysis, but obviously we will be satisfied with whatever name you give us'
"If that is the case then your names will be the same, Venetos and Chrysis"
[You have named two individuals, they will now gain a system [2/10] ]
Immediately after saros received the massage Venetos and Chrysis started screaming as big screens appeared in front of them attacked the big screen in front of them thinking it's an enemy
'YOUR MAJESTY, TAKE COVER! THIS THING DOES NOT BUDGE FROM IT'S PLACE'
"What the! YOU FOOLS! just turn it off and it will go" saros hit both of them on the back to calm them down and explained how the system works and how it allows them to view their power and energy concentration in a detailed numerical way, making it easier to know their condition constantly, Venetos and Chrysis were surprised by such thing and thanked saros, they also mentioned how they got other notifications saying they can now evolve beyond their set limit and that all their stats increased by 10.
"Alright, back to the important discussions now, tell me everything the queen knew about the current situation"
'Yes, the bear general told us that you can transform yourself and how he suspects you might try invading our territory, he also warned the spiders and wolfs so trying to start a war is useless now'
"Then... we will just leave them alone and move on"
'It's not that simple' Venetos said 'The wolfs and spiders have a huge pride they would not let this go just like that, they know you're strong so they are probably making a plan to kill you as we speak'
"Then what can we do? "
'Haha, you're now our king remember? you have over ten thousand ants at your disposal, we can dig right under their noses and they would bot notice, just command the ants and sacrifice them with suicide attacks, most of them are useless so It would not matter, what do you say?'
"The ants could still be useful for later expeditions, I say... we go have a word or two with that bear general, surely he will give it another thought when he is faced by the three of us, and this time it will be two choices, either he joins us in war, or he will be next on the list"
'Our king really is wise'
"You two, don't you feel weird calling me a king when I just ate your queen's head, isn't she your mother?" Saros had this question on his mind since he saw them kneel, he did not want any other problems popping up while he's in dire situations
'You're thinking too much about it, she is our queen and mother, yes, but the concept of mother in an ant colony is not that important, sometimes the ants might get rid of the queen themselves so it's nothing but the circle of live, we tried our best to protect her but it failed nothing could be done about that, it's just the way it is'
"I understand, so does that mean you would not care if I die either"
'It's somehow different for you, we feel obligated to serve you and even sacrifice ourselves for you, it's wired but we already accepted it as a fact'
"Humph, is that so? Alright let's get going, we are going to meet with another one of my subordinates first and he will lead us to the bear's territory, also, each of you command five thousand of the ants to dig under their territory so we guarantee our safety"
Saros Venetos and Chrysis headed up the novels and commanded the ants to do their jobs as they headed back to the cave, when Otso saw Venetos and Chrysis he was very surprised by the fact that saros could fight the three and get out victorious, but he did not make a fuzz about it as he was already used to it, Saros explained to him the plan and how it might lead to a small fight with the bears, but Otos did not mind as he was never truly attached to the rest, besides his loyalty now was only towards Saros, and so Saros Venetos and Chrysis all got on top of Otos and headed to their destination with the mentality of intimidating the opposite side.
