[Scorpion City]
Inside the King's chamber, a thick, suffocating tension hung in the air. The atmosphere was so oppressive that even breathing became difficult.
No one dared to speak carelessly.
All the Scorpion Elders held their breath, their hearts pounding heavily against their chests and their expressions were solemn.
Their eyes remained fixed on the entrance of the chamber as though expecting someone to rush in with good news.
It had been hours since the army had departed from the city to take down the humans and conquer Mantis Town.
By now...
They should have already received several reports but got none. At the beginning, this was a glorious event for the Scorpion Clansmen.
The entire city had celebrated the departure of the army. Countless Scorpion Men had roared with excitement.
Once again they were going to show their unrivaled might to the world, putting everyone in their place.
The humans would be crushed.
Mantis Town would once again belong to them.
