Underground, Darius had passed all the checkpoints Gunner and Xela had created as they had progressed down here.
Darius noted that each hive had been utterly decimated and since their queens were now in his possession, there was no chance of re-population.
Of course, if one were to sit down and calculate, the number of hives the Branded Servant Duo had cleared out in the past month or so would only amount to 2% of the total population.
Darius took them deeper and deeper, until the entire group was about halfway down the entire underground system. They were located where the Adept and above hives had been situated, and the congregation was much greater than those above.
After all, during the yearly culling, the main targets were those Amateur and Journeymen hives since they were the easiest to deal with. Adept hives and those deeper down were older and more united, thus proving to be extremely hard to deal with.
