“FIREBALL”

The cries of the Wizards while launching a fireball attack continued to be heard accompanied by the noise of tens of thousands of ants trying to climb the cliff.

The distance between the army of giant ants with the top of the cliff was already so close. If things don't change it's estimated that in less than five minutes the insects will reach where we are.

If that were to happen then we would all be swept away in less than ten seconds. I can't imagine what it's like to be a snack on those grumpy ants.

With big jaw teeth like steel scissors, maybe my body will be torn into small pieces. Imagining what could have happened gave me the creeps of fear.

But not least I thought of retreating because Arang's plan was ripe, and I believed him.

I believe in my friend.

The ant army got closer to the surface, seeing that made the legs of the Goblin army tremble in fear. Some even thought of escaping, but Goblone soon gave a painful punishment to his subordinates who dared to leave the line.

Goblone had previously faced giant ants with his master. He managed to finish off the dozens of monsters before undergoing evolution.

With the power he had after evolution plus the Unicorn spear weapon made Goblone feel himself able to fight against a hundred ant troops alone.

Despite so seeing the sheer number of ant troops this time around that was clearly dozens of times more than he had fought before it was enough to make Goblone's guts shrivel.

But once again he would not back down, the plan his master made was so perfect. No matter how many ants came, this battle was already determined the winner.

Standing on the edge of the cliff of Arang made an army of ants that crawled up. His gaze was so low, as if assuming all the ants under his feet were not a threat to him at all.

“Aurel, you can call them now.” he said.

It was a sign that the battle plan with the ant army would enter the second phase. I immediately did my job by taking out the Castle Clan.

A miniature I took out of the mouth of the Avatar worm. Miniature fortress that originally measured 6×6 cm quickly grew into a building as high as 2.5 meters.

“We need Baloons as bombers and Builder.”

I quickly arranged for the troops to be trained. But it takes time until the training is complete, while the army of ants will soon reach the top of the cliff.

The Wizards and Archers tried hard to attack the ants, but that only gave it a little extra time. Despite realizing the current situation was so dangerous, Arang's face still showed unshakable confidence.

“Builder ready.” my word.

Arang's smile widened to hear it.

“Soon deploy Builder team!.”

“Siap!.”

Obtaining direct orders, I immediately took out all the Builders from within Clan Castle. Although the Builders were not a fighting force, but they had an important role in the plan.

I got something out of my mouth again, but this time in huge numbers. Tens of thousands of box-shaped stones I took out for the Builder to use to build a fortress.

The plan was that we would fight inside the fortress that the Builder made using stone blocks. A very simple plan is at once very risky.

After exiting the Clan Castle, all the Builders immediately took the beams and then began to compile them. With frightening speed they began to make a fortress without the need to see the design of the fortress that Arang prepared.

It can all happen because there is a strange connection between me and the Builders.

From the results of Arang's research on the troops of the class off Klan that he examined, there was a conclusion that all the knowledge and experience of one soldier would be shared with each other's troops.

Like the example of a Barbarian getting sword training, other Barbarians also get the same knowledge even though they never practice.

That knowledge will also not be lost even if the entire Barbarian is destroyed, because the newly trained Barbarian will gain knowledge from the previous Barbarian.

The feature applies to the entire army of Class off Klan combat types.

Although the Builder is an npc character who does not have fighting abilities, the Builder has a very important role in the game. Without them, players could not possibly level up the Town Hall and the defense buildings.

So is the real-world version of Class Off Clans. Builders have excellent comprehension skills and learn very quickly.

But that's not much compared to the ability to take orders through the mind, a kind of telepathy but more than that.

Just imagine you see a house plan, then suddenly want to build a house from the design you previously saw. But without being directed all your men have understood what they should do.

Without looking at the design of the house you saw before, they already had a picture of the plan.

Such is the ability of the Builders, they seemed to be able to know the contents of my head so there is no need to ask what kind of Fortress I want to build, because I have seen Arang's design before.

“They even work better than I anticipated.” Arang praised how the Builders worked.

The fortress that the Builder built was even considered better compared to the sketches that Arang made. There are several parts added to strengthen the defense and make it easier for the troops to attack the enemy.

In less than fifteen minutes, the fortress that looked so sturdy was completed by thirty Builders. Although it was an incredible achievement, but there was no time for celebration.

The ant army had reached the top of the cliff, and we slowly began to retreat and enter the fortress to take shelter.

The ant army tried to tear down the walls of the fortress but their efforts were in vain. The jaw teeth of the ants that can crush the stone can not even scratch the walls made of stone blocks.

The Master Builder looked proud of the sturdiness of the fortress he had made with the other Builders.

Despite being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of ant troops, this fortress would be impenetrable. But hiding within the impregnable fortress was not our plan.

Ding!.

[Baloon training has finished]

A system notification rang out in my head, along with it the building of Clan Castle shone then a hot air balloon came out from the exposed roof. One by one the balloons fly, giving a beautiful view share the lantern lights that adorn the twilight sky.

The Baloon army flew over the sea of giant ants, while the insects had no idea what the skeletons would do inside the Baloon.

Until the order of attack from Arang sounded so loud, making the skeletons inside Baloon dropped bombs simultaneously, bombarding the sea of ants in a row.

The impact of the damage produced by the Baloon bomb attack was the damage to the area. It is very effective at wiping out large numbers of enemies like an army of ants.

Charcoal laughed out loud as the explosions and screams of the ants continued to be heard. He looked more like a demon who enjoyed destruction and suffering than a messenger of God.

The plan is going very well, if it keeps going like this then there will be nothing to worry about, the victory is obviously on our side.

If the ants had intelligence they would have chosen to retreat instead of trying to break through the impregnable fortress, while in the air the Baloon troops continued to bombard.

But it seems we underestimated the other side too much.

When we thought that the ants had no way of overcoming Baloon's forces, suddenly one of the Baloons fell for nothing. A large explosion occurred in the area away from Baloon, revealing a mushroom cloud rising upwards.

Everyone was shocked by the incident, but what we saw next was even scarier.

From the bottom of the cliff, an army of winged ants flew up to cover the sky with their absurd numbers.

“Oh, which was beyond my expectations.” said Arang with an awkward laugh.

The victory of the war, which was originally almost within the grasp of the hand, suddenly turned 180 degrees into so dangerous when the opponent finally took out his secret army.

“But isn't this getting interesting?.”

With the landscape of the afternoon sky dyed with a huge explosion due to dozens of Baloons being dropped, I saw a smile on Arang's lips.

A smile full of confidence, as if the current state he could easily reverse.

“Time to fly.”
