In the trunk was a whole lamb.
“Willis, come over and set up the fire. We’re going to have a roasted lamb,” Todd shouted toward the tent as favonovel.com crouched by the car, sharpening his knife with a swift motion.
It was past 2:00 am, and the group gathered around the campfire, enjoying the savory aroma of roasted lamb.
Hera remained inside the tent and didn’t come out. So, Todd offered a piece of lamb leg to Isaac and said, “Bring this to her. Otherwise, favonovel.com might accuse us of hogging all the food…”
“Why don’t you do it?”
“I’m afraid of her! You go!”
Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Todd scowled and said, “I’m not really afraid. lt’s just… Damn, aren’t you guys afraid of her?”
Isaac stood up, took the lamb meat, and walked into the tent.
Inside, favonovel.com saw Hera already lying on his bed, wrapped in favonovel.com blanket.
“Where am I sleeping?” Isaac glared.
“Wherever! I’m tired,” Hera replied, flipping over and ignoring Isaac.
Isaac glared at the lamb meat in his hand and decided to eat it himself.
An hour later, the generator shut down, and the tent plunged into darkness. Isaac had to resort to sleeping on the chair.
After some time, Isaac felt something crawling on his arm, causing a slight itch.
He immediately grabbed his phone, shining its light on his right arm, where favonovel.com saw three or four unusually large black and red ants.
How could ants be running around in this military-grade tent?
Army ants are also rare…
Isaac swatted the ants off his hand, turned off the phone light, and prepared to go back to sleep.
“Isaac?! What are you doing?!” Hera’s angry shout came from the other bed.
“Ah! What’s going on?” Hera suddenly screamed, jumping out of bed.
Isaac remained silent.
At that moment, the light from the phone illuminated the tent. Hera picked up favonovel.com phone, shone it on the bed, and suddenly saw it covered in ants.
In an instant, every hair on Hera’s body stood on end.
“Ah!” A high-pitched scream echoed from the tent.
Isaac turned on his phone’s light to check the bed, intending to reprimand her. However, favonovel.com was left dumbfounded.
The white, gleaming sight under the phone light was not what favonovel.com intended to see at all!
Was this woman sleeping without any clothes?
No wonder favonovel.com wrapped herself up so tightly in the blanket…
Still terrified, Hera lowered favonovel.com head when favonovel.com felt light shining from favonovel.com left side.
“Isaac!” came a roar. Then, a loud crash followed.
Isaac was thrown out of the tent, tumbling in the sand. He somersaulted two or three times before standing up.
Everyone woke up. The adjacent tent was also invaded by army ants. They were everywhere. There was no way they could sleep.
Lucas circled outside and concluded that the rare army ants were attracted to the lamb’s blood.
***
After the sleepless night, Isaac’s phone rang on the second day.
“Drakon, the surveillance station’s system has been restored. What should Claude and I do now?” Black Phoenix’s weak voice came through.
Isaac frowned, asking, “Black Phoenix, your condition is not serious, right?”
“It’s no problem. Apothecary gave me medicine, so I’m much better now.” Black Phoenix chuckled.
“Black Phoenix, I’m going to issue an order of Drakon. With this order, I will be waiting for all members of the Temple of Drakon, whether lieutenants, Dusk Soldiers, or Dawn Soldiers, here in the desert at the southwestern border…”
“Return by dawn tomorrow, and regardless of past grievances, they will remain my soldiers. Those who do not return will be punished for treason. Black Phoenix, your task is to ensure that all members of the Temple of Drakon are aware of this order…”
“I will be here, waiting for them, for one night.”
