However, it was the next finding that made Black Swarm Insect God been blacklist massively by the two mana species. Inside their nest, the elven alliance forces found hundreds of millions of larvae eggs ready to hatch and become the new Black Swarm Insect God. 80% of them are soldier type Black Swarm Insect God (Warriors and scout arachnids), 10% other Black Swarm Insect God type (Bombardir, suicidal, satelite, and tower type which will be introduced in later chapter), 9% elite type Black Swarm Insect God, and 1% are queen type Black Swarm Insect God.
Of all the eggs there are more than one million prospective queens that are ready to hatch. From one Black Swarm Insect God nest will emerge one million new queens who will create one million Black Swarm Insect God nests throughout the Meer Continent. From one million new nests, more than eight hundred trillion Black Swarm Insect God soldier type will emerge. In the blink of an eye the entire Meer Continent would be filled with soldier-type Black Swarm Insect Gods and mana species would become soft food for them.
This discoverer made both alliances shiver. However, this possibility will only occur when the Black Swarm Insect God Colony is able to meet the food needs of their larvae. Researchers estimate that every year the Black Swarm Insect God Colony is only able to produce two or three new queens from each nest. Then the old queen will die immediately when it has succeeded in incubating new queens. That way there will be a struggle for the seat of the new nest leader for the newly born queens.
As a result, the Black Swarm Insect God Colony would split up and the battle between the queens would drastically reduce their numbers. Until the victorious queen appears and the fighting will stop then the new queen will start the cycle to give birth to new Black Swarm Insect God eggs.
This discovery made both mana species breathe a sigh of relief, they were amazed when they realized how nature balances an ecosystem with its iron rule. But even so the Black Swarm Insect God Colony is still a threat to the hegemony of mana species, therefore they blacklist them and every Black Swarm Insect God nest found must be destroyed as soon as possible.
As a result, the number of Black Swarm Insect God's nests was decreasing due to the onslaught of species mana throughout the Meer Continent. Until the Black Swarm Insect God Colony became very rare and hard to find. However, this does not mean that the Black Swarm Insect God Colony has disappeared from the face of the earth, they still exist in places beyond the control of the mana species. Like in the Bog Forest.
And as is currently in front of Dony's eyes. He saw that thousands of Black Swarm Insect Gods were on a massive hunt and killed every creature that had flesh in front of them. No matter whether it was an animal that was only as big as a rabbit or a large animal like an elephant, they all could not escape the Black Swarm Insect God's prey and became food to carry into their nests.
Dony is a new mage and he is only 30 years old so he has never seen the battle between the mage and the Black Swarm Insect God Colony firsthand. But seeing the giant insects that killed blindly in front of him made Dony imagine the horror at that moment.
He felt that if what he saw was more than enough, more than this would only make Dony have bad dreams and couldn't sleep. He signaled the other mages nearby to immediately retreat and report the situation to Stent Gaht. He saw the mage beside him nodding with a pale face and cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Dony immediately cast a spell and made his body become lighter. He jumps from branch to branch with agility, even so his heart is beating fast and his face is always looking back all the time shows how uncomfortable Dony feels right now. He jumped very slowly and landed very gently, afraid that the sound of the jump he would make would make the swarm of giant insects behind him notice his whereabouts and start changing their prey.
Not long after, he arrived in front of a cave that was covered by illusion so that it only looked like a small crack that was impossible for a creature as big as a human to enter. He whistled and uttered a passphrase introducing his identity to ally who was on guard.
The illusion disappeared and showed the mouth of the cave. A female mage nodded to Dony and let him in. Dony just nodded back and stepped into the cave. He passed through various stalactites until he came to a room lit by the light of a bonfire.
Inside the room stood a man with a burly body, shoulder-length blonde hair almost covered his slender and worn-out face. Closed gray eyes, sunk in their sockets, Showing a life experience that no one can imagine. The slashing scar cut across his right cheek to his lips, making his blond beard look even more terrifying.
He is the strongest human in the world, Stent Gaht. Dony knelt down and bowed his head, as did the mage beside him, "Report, Lord Gaht! We have confirmed that those creatures are Black Swarm Insect Gods. Most likely they are currently looking for food for the larvae that will hatch at the beginning of the year. Their number is estimated to be over eight million, with thousands of other Black Swarm Insect Gods outside the nest, and it is unknown how many of them are currently searching for food sources" Dony reported firmly.
For a few minutes the room was silent, Dony glanced at Stent Gaht who just remained silent and did not respond to his report. He saw Stent Gaht's brow furrow and his hand stroked his chin. Dony looked back at the floor knowing that the strongest human was thinking about something.
Until Dony started to think that Stent Gaht would not respond at all and he should ask permission to leave the room, a deep male voice sounded from the man "I never thought that there was a Black Swarm Insect God Colony in this place, why don't we have ever received reports of attacks from adventurers before? Shouldn't with this number of Black Swarm Insect Gods have attacked Heles City long ago? Or did this Black Swarm Insect God Colony just form?" Stent Gaht asked but was not directed at anyone.
Even so Dony continued to answer because he had his own hypothesis about this "I think the Black Swarm Insect God Colony in Bog Forest has existed for a long time but they have their own ecosystem so that it becomes a barrier for them to go out to attack Heles City. But it seems that the ecosystem was disturbed by something and disturb the Black Swarm Insect God's habitat so they are forced to look for food outside their ecosystem."
Hearing that, Stent Gaht's face grew darker and there was a roar of anger that deepened in his voice "Demon!" Stent Gaht's hands were clenched so tightly that there seemed to be an explosive sound from the air being squeezed all of a sudden.
Dony nodded, he also felt that the presence of this fourth mana species had disturbed the Black Swarm Insect God's ecosystem in the Bog Forest. But he didn't know if this was an accident or if there was a shrimp behind a rock. (Proverbs that show if there is a hidden meaning from what is visible to the eye).
Stent Gaht also thought the same as Dony. If indeed this Black Swarm Insect God was caused by the demons then there was a high possibility that this was one of their tactics to hide something.
At the previous Gurru Committee meeting, the Wuhan Clan showed evidence of the presence of a fourth mana species on the Meer Continent by showing the remains of a creature that had never been seen by humans before. Even so, they could all feel the mana flow from within this creature's body and immediately knew if the body was a mana species. But none of them concluded if the body came from an elf species or a warbeast species.
Even though the physical war has stopped and a truce has been carried out, the three mana species are still carrying out information warfare behind the scenes. They try to find the weakness of the other two species and use every means to obtain information from selling sex-slaves to illegal trade with the other two species.
As a result, currently the human alliance knew almost every ins and outs of the elf species and warbeast species. Because of that they knew for certain that the corpse of the mana species in front of them was not from an elf species or a warbeast species. So there is only one possibility left, namely this is the corpse of the fourth mana species.
The Wuhan Clan told them that the new mana species' name was DEMON!
And the elf species and warbeast species are currently waging war with the demon species, and other information brought by the Wuhan Clan made the faces of all meeting participants turn pale; the elf and warbeast species were pushed to the point that they had to form an elf and warbeast alliance.
Stent Gaht stood up from his seat and said very seriously "If it is true that this is the work of demons then it is certain that humans are also their target right now. We have to be prepared for the war that is about to happen. Dony! Report this to the Gurru Committee and tell them that the demons are already in front of the gate of our house. I will be here trying to hold them off until the entire human alliance comes!"
Dony dared not answer anything other than "Yes, sir!"
