Not long after the squeaking started, all the bugs started to move aside, opening a pathway of around ten meters. There were others that remained stationary, but those were bugs that looked different and appeared to be larger, more menacing.

When the pathway was made, a loud, piercing, scratching-like sound was heard—the kind that one made by scratching a nail against a blackboard.

“The f*ck is that thing…” Jiang Fei whispered. A large, gigantic larvae-like bug came into sight. Its entire body was like a huge pink glutinous blob of meat. When it moved, it squiggled about, not the pudding kind of squiggle, but a gigantic caterpillar kind.

From the looks of things, the smaller bugs were seen as respecting the giant one. Not only did they make a pathway for it, they even looked around to make sure that nothing approached it.

Deleila Race, Queen of the Swarm.

“So that’s the queen…”

Jiang Fei had assumed the Queen of the bugs would looked more… menacing rather than a blob of flesh.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking us?!”

The blob of flesh made a loud screech but Jiang Fei’s translator turned those screeches into comprehensible language.

Knowing that he had been found, Jiang Fei jumped down from the top and landed gracefully in front of the Queen.

“My name is Jiang Fei. I am part of the Valsalrian Army!” said Jiang Fei, unsheathing his sword to display a threatening appearance.

“The Valsalrian Army? I know not of that! Begone!” the Queen roared. It was obvious to Jiang Fei that this alien race did not know who the Valsalrians were. They were very much like humans of Earth in the sense that they had not managed to explore past their own planetary system.

“We are here to dominate this planet! Surrender or you shall be annihilated!” said Jiang Fei with a domineering stance.

“Dominate us?! Why? We have done nothing to offend you!” said the Queen with no discernible tone of emotion. Jiang Fei could not tell whether the Queen was angry or sad.

“I don’t care about that. I’m just a soldier obeying orders,” Jiang Fei replied coldly.

“So it seems,” the Queen said, understandingly. The bug race, or this particular race, lived via a hive system. No other besides the Queen, the heart of the swarm, could think for themselves. With only a single thought, the Queen controlled and commanded all in the swarm.

“Surrender. You have neither the power nor the soldiers to defend against the Valsalrian Army,” said Jiang Fei. He was right in the heart of the swarm. It would be impossible for him to fight his way out of there if he failed to persuade them to surrender.

“Surrender? Hahahahaha!” the Queen laughed, or so it seemed. All Jiang Fei could hear was a high pitch howling.
