Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 1976: Let’s chase them out

Once they had settled down, I spoke up. "Is there anything else you need to disclose to me?"

Queenie and Insectum both looked surprised, remaining silent in response to my query.

I had suspected as much, but I felt it was necessary to ask one final time before we departed from this location.

"Since there is nothing left to discuss, we should talk about our next steps."

Once more, Queenie and Insectum appeared bewildered, clearly having no inkling of what I meant.

Klein and the royal guards shared this confusion, all of them looking at me with puzzled expressions.

Noting their reactions, I clarified, "We need to figure out a way to bring Death Valley along with us, don't we?"

Queenie was the quickest to respond. "Is that really a concern? Since you possess full authority over this domain through that relic, you can take it just by willing it so. A single thought is all it takes to store this entire place inside the bracelet."

Klein and the royal guards stared at me in total shock, but I ignored them. Shaking my head, I replied, "No, that isn't an option. There are too many people currently roaming this area. If we suddenly made the whole of Death Valley vanish and took them with us, the uproar would be massive. Besides, have you considered what their families would do if they all went missing at once?"

Queenie seemed entirely indifferent to this dilemma.

Not only was she lazy, but she also appeared quite self-centered.

It wasn't entirely unexpected, though, considering she had lived her life as a queen and had never known hardship. She simply expected the world to cater to her whims.

"I apologize for her behavior," Insectum suddenly said, delivering a sharp slap to the top of Queenie’s head.

It was a rather bizarre sight—a tiny spider striking a massive insect like Queenie.

Surprisingly, none of the elite guards reacted to the scene.

They seemed perfectly accustomed to the dynamic between the two.

Although these elite guards were Queenie's direct offspring, they clearly recognized Insectum as the God of Insects. When it came to a hierarchy of respect, Insectum seemed to hold the higher position.

Once their bickering subsided, Insectum turned to me, seemingly certain that I had already devised a solution. "Holy Son, what is your plan?"

I answered calmly, "We are going to drive them out."

Silence followed my words again; no one understood my intention.

Unfazed, I turned to Queenie and asked, "How many insects are under your command?" After a brief pause, I clarified, "To be specific, how many can you control simultaneously?"

Queenie shrugged and answered, "I can control every single one of them. I gave birth to them all, so our connection is innate. I can command the entire swarm at once if I wish."

Then, looking as if she were terrified of having to actually exert herself, she asked, "Why do you want to know?"

"Well, I believe you can already guess," I replied, offering no further explanation.

Queenie’s expression shifted as the realization dawned on her.

Her face was a mask of pure reluctance.

She was more than capable of the task, but her laziness made her despise the idea of working.

"She will do it," Insectum declared on her behalf, not even bothering to consult her.

Queenie glared at Insectum again, but he ignored her completely, waiting for me to outline the details.

I also paid no mind to Queenie's scowl. "It’s quite simple. This is what you need to do..."

After I finished explaining the strategy, Klein couldn't help but voice his doubts. "Your Majesty, are you certain this will work? It doesn't seem like that alone will be enough to scare them off. You know how stubborn those mercenaries can be..."

"Believe me, it will be far more terrifying than you imagine. You simply don't realize how many insects are hidden within this valley."

Klein looked skeptical, a hint of doubt still lingering in his gaze.

I didn't try to explain further, knowing there was no way to describe it adequately. He would only be convinced once he saw what I could see through the bracelet.

Because the bracelet gave me mastery over this place, I knew exactly what resided within Death Valley.

Initially, I had been shocked by the sheer number of insects, but I soon realized I had only seen a fraction of the truth. I had only been looking at the surface, ignoring what lay beneath.

This was literally the case, as there was a hidden depth to this land.

While I had seen the swarm above ground, I hadn't accounted for those beneath the soil.

A massive network of tunnels stretched across the entirety of Death Valley.

From a certain perspective, the whole valley resembled a giant ant farm. It was a sight that could only be appreciated if one could see through the earth itself.

I was confident there were more than enough to terrify the mercenaries into fleeing.

"Now that everyone knows their role, begin the preparations. Once night falls, we will unleash them upon the humans remaining here."
