Gaius's voice broke the silence: "One charge cost us over ten Dragon Blood Knights, all high-tier people, but those monsters won't 'die.' We sever their necks, and new ones grow back.
We hack off their limbs, and the broken bones piece themselves together. Smash the head, and another insect corpse's brain will replace it. You kill one, it splits into three, potentially three new ones."
A young commander asked hoarsely: "What should we do then... Continue fighting them desperately? It seems useless."
Aurelian quietly watched him, the face shrouded in mist remained blurry: "So eliminating the nest is the only solution."
"To stop it, the only way is to kill the strongest nest."
A deadly silence, but no one objected.
Based on their experience, and the persuasion of the Grand Mage, they knew this was the only solution.
Duke Edmund nodded, his tone steady yet commanding: "Thank you for your intelligence."
