"Oh, you have returned this quickly?" the baron asked when he saw Theo approaching the camp while he was eating some more of those roasted crawlers. Theo could see that he had already eaten a lot more, seeing how many were skinned at the side.
"Just came to check on the ants, father."
"The ants? Did you feel something wrong with them?" the baron asked with a look that almost made Theo feel he had done something wrong.
"Has something happened while I was gone, father?"
"Err..." The baron was hesitant, but then he became normal, as if thinking he had done nothing wrong.
"These pesky creatures started coming out of their block, so I threw a skinned crawler at them to eat." The baron spoke. "I have to say, this is the first time I have seen the ants work like this before. Their synergy is amazing."
Theo couldn't help but feel deja vu. "Father, didn't you see many gigantic ants in the gate you went to?"
