Half a day later, the group that headed east to pursue the giant ants returned.
They had completed their mission and eliminated the enemy.
Some suffered serious injuries, but there were no casualties.
The injured couldn't return that quickly, so the commander decided to bring all the able-bodied men, except the healers, to Alex's side as soon as possible.
Of course, he also left three hundred soldiers to protect those who were left behind, just in case of an emergency.
Overall, four thousand soldiers returned, making the combined army's numbers rise to nearly ten thousand.
"This is the plan," Alex said calmly. "Tomorrow after breakfast, we will attack the ant nest. However, we will not do a frontal charge."
He then glanced at Nessia, who nodded back in understanding.
"She is a magical formation specialist who is also an expert when it comes to Rune Magic," Alex explained. "She will create a favorable battleground for us."
