Chapter 3 Executives

  • It has been more than a month since I dominated the ants.
  • During that time a lot of changes have occurred in the ants nest.
  • Because of the "king of the ant title" I am now able to do a lot of things with the ants.
  • Things like communicating with them,
  • Share my senses and skill with them,
  • I can summon them and also teleport to wherever they are.
  • The most important factor I am satisfied with is their evolution.
  • The worker ants evolved and are now able to stand on two legs.
  • The evolved form is referred to as "gentry".
  • The four gentry that were guarding the nucleus meaning the standing ants evolved to "Marshal"..
  • While the last gentry that acted as the leader evolved to a "phylum".
  • For the worker ants the changes they had after undergoing evolution
  • Is becoming bigger, being able to stand on two legs,
  • Increased strength, stamina, speed and intelligence.
  • While for the four gentry now have exoskeleton like appearance.
  • Unlike before that their body could be easily damaged with just a punch,
  • Because of the Exoskeleton body their durability has gone up.
  • They also now have a more human like appearance,
  • Like knights putting on full body armor.
  • They also have developed skills which I believe they got from me with the ability share.
  • Their physical abilities are nothing like before, they have also developed affinity for Elemental magic.
  • For the one that evolved into a phylum he has become a complete badass.
  • His body weight that was slim is now medium,
  • The antenna on is head is now gone and his face is more human,
  • The exoskeleton covered his whole body like a suit of armor and the Aura he emitted is dominant
  • It is safe to say he is no longer a reflection of who he was before.
  • The evolution increased the ants power by a lot,
  • Making me the biggest benefitter.
  • There is just one issue that needs resolving and that is their name. Although they had no name before they were still able to communicate with each other.
  • It is indeed a good feature except that I am not comfortable with that.
  • As a former human I am used to using names as a means of identification,
  • Regardless of whether I can interact with them or not they need to have a name so I took it upon myself to name them.
  • I named the phylum ant Acestes and the other four (Achlys, Abellone, Adad and Apheastus).
  • After the naming I made a department and assigned them to their suitable role to operate in.
  • Fighting against the Conrad requires a lot of preparation that needs to be done, to assure my victory I need to draft up a board and set up preparations for it.
  • One of the preparation includes reliable information.
  • There is this saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
  • I decided to do just that.
  • I put Achlys in charge of gathering information using one of the skills I gave him,
  • (Space Control). with this ability he is able to teleport to a location he has been to before and also able to hide himself in a space void, a place with no life of the sorts.
  • It is like his own personal world and only those he grants access to can enter the void.
  • He also has cloning abilities making him the perfect Ninja candidate.
  • The other needed preparation is training.
  • Although the evolution has greatly increased the ants overall strength,
  • It is still not enough for me.
  • We are going up against humans who will be armed with weapons and capable of using swordsmanship techniques,
  • To counter that I want the ants to also learn swordsmanship.
  • Even if it is just the basics they know it is still better than just relying on brute strength,
  • They need to polish both their skills and abilities, only then can they function to their full potential.
  • Abellone is in charge of this department as he has demonstrated his compatibility with weapons that I took from the Arian kingdom.
  • Abellone's task is to recruit those with talent in the sword, bow, Spear, shield and the likes.
  • The next one on the list is supplies.
  • My body has shown no sign of needing nutrients to survive,
  • Rather it operates on mana for survival.
  • But that is not the case with the ants.
  • They need to feed to survive and scavenging is not really a reliable option,
  • Especially when I am grooming soldiers to fight in an upcoming war.
  • I needed a more self reliable option and there was only one I could think of
  • "Farming".
  • At first it was hard for the ants to adopt the farming policy due to their inherent nature of being a scavenger but with the help of my title they were able to gradually and progressively adapt to it.
  • Adad who has an shown affinity with the wind and water Elemental is put in charge of the aspect.
  • The last which is also the most important of all the factors' is a base.
  • To carry out all the above tasks a functional base is needed.
  • I gave Apheastus how has an affinity with earth and wood the knowledge of how building's were made in my former life for him to work with.
  • In no time he filled the empty base with medieval buildings made from wood.
  • At first accomplishing all this tasks seemed impossible,
  • We had a lot of continuous trials and failures and it all seemed almost hopeless.
  • If it was not for my Title that ended up matching my memories with the ants causing them to evolve amd gaining one new general skill which is (Adapt to The King's Orders).
  • Whatever it is I order them to do even if it is something they have never done or have no knowledge of the skill would take immediate effect overloading their brains with the basic knowledge required to carry out my orders.
  • With the help of this skill all the ants were able to operate efficiently with Acestes as the overseer while I focus on drafting up ideas and strategies.
  • In the ants nest villa's bungalows are being constructed with planks and woods,
  • The most refurbished villa was made the abode of the King (White Demon) while the widest bungalow was made the Executive cabinet (consisting of the four Marshal one phylum and the King).
  • In the room there is a conference table long enough to sit ten members.
  • Sitting in front is the King(white demon) and at the right side of the king is Acestes sitting,
  • Beside Acestes is Achlys and at the left side is Abellone, Adad and Apheastus in the order.
  • At the end of the day King carries out a progress check of each executive department.
  • [alright everyone time for the briefing, Acestes you can begin]
  • [yes my king, we have a total of five thousand gentry, Abellone recruited two thousand gentry for weapon profiency training, Adad has one thousand and five hundred in the farming department, Apheastus also has one thousand and five hundred gentry working on the building construction].
  • [Achlys is the only Marshal with no gentry under him, he instead uses his clone to cover up for the lack of subordinates].
  • Hmmm five thousand is not necessarily a small amount but compared to when I faced off against them I am sure they had a higher number
  • [ Acestes is there a reason as to way the numbers is that low]
  • [my king the reason for this is because the gentry ants have a low reproduction rate as compared to the worker ants]
  • So the evolution is this cause.
  • True they did indeed get stronger compared to when they were just worker ants.
  • You have to sacrifice one for one,
  • "is it something like that".
  • [alright Achlys what about the thing I asked you to look into]
  • I gave Achlys the information collector to gather as many information as he can about the location of other insecter race like them so I can recruit them into our ranks.
  • (hands over two square shaped plank to the King)
  • [the first list contains the location of the insectar race you requested for while the other is the location of a Queen Taraect I discovered, although the Taraect are sub-insects they are much stronger than most of the insecter race]
  • A spider ehh I did not think of that, it would be helpful if I can have their numbers and strength on my side as well
  • [alright Acestes, Achlys, Abellone, Adad and Apheastus. I have decided I want you all to recruit the said race mentioned here while I personally recruit the queen Taratect]
  • [All> yes King].
