My plan was to let the wasps eat so that after they were done, I could discuss hunting, training and reconnaissance with them.

"Grab your weapons!" (DK)" Leonidas stay with the Cleopatra! Ragnar and Caesar with me!" I commanded them with a shout.

The wasps were so busy eating that they failed to see the three Arach at the entrance.

As Cleopatra and Leonidas rose and moved to the back of the Great Hall, me, Ragnar and Caesar formed a frontline against this new enemy force.

(Fuck! I only needed one more day! Can this shit get any worst?)

I should have know to not jinx it in my thoughts since a fourth Arach joined his comrades on that moment.

Flying on my right, tightly holding his spear, Ragnar asked. "What do we do?"

"Great DK, this cannot be all of them!" Caesar implied as he drew his swords on my left.

I had no time to say anything to Caesar as the four Arach came at us with a ferocious rush.

"Eat this you fucks!" I shouted, raising my leg like I was trying to score a goal in futebol, kicking the leading Arach's stomach as hard as I could.

This Arach's body was projected into his ally who was behind him, making them fall to the ground.

"Ragnar!" I shouted again, pointing at the 2 fallen Arach.

Ragnar and Caesar knew what I meant.

While Caesar kept going forward with me, able to fly, Ragnar dived in from above aiming for their heads of the colapsed enemies, with the piercing sound of his spear, the two enemies died with one blow.

The third Arach jumped towards me, forcing me to defend myself and so I stretched up my left arm to grab him by the thorax.

The fourth one tried to join in, but Caesar passed by my left side to intercept the fourth enemy, he declared with a shout "This one's mine!" while swinging his swords at the enemy.

Caesar and the Aratch exchanged blows, each trying to either dodge or block attacks, making a repetitive "cha-ching, clank, cha-ching, clank" noise, wich made an eco upon the Great Hall.

I was able to hold the third enemy, but struggling with panic, "CLACK!" he used his lower arms to hit my arm.

(The little fuck ripped my hand by the pulse!)

Before the Arach could escape, I slapped him with my right hand, making him fall to the ground.

With the third enemy on the ground, in an instant, Ragnar, with his head painted of Arach's blue blood, dived for his third kill.

As I looked forward, Caesar had already sliced the fourth enemy's head.

"Go to the entrance! Check if there's more enemies!" I shouted to the wasps.

Both rushed in, one ran and the other flew.

The two warrior wasps took a look from the entrance, after a dozen seconds, Ragnar answered. "There's no enemy in sight!"

I promptly joined in with them at the entrance after hearing their response.

It seemed so calm outside compared to the recent moments in the Great Hall.

"Keep being on guard, this might have been only a scout party..." I informed the wasps.

With the major danger gone, Cleopatra and Leonidas joined us at the entrance.

"This is bad! Do they know where we are?" I asked Cleopatra with a worried voice.

"This is a closed valley. They would find us eventually!" (Caesar)

"Should we pack-up and leave?" Ragnar mumbled his suggestion.

"But what about the unborn wasps! We cannot leave them!" Leonidas expressed his worries for the unborn.

Cleopatra grabbed my hand and asked. "Great DK, what do you think we should do?"

"Give me a moment to think." (DK)

As the four waited for my response, they made a surprised face as they saw my left hand crawling, returning to its place.

Finally, I answered Cleopatra. "Dont worry Cleopatra, please finish your meal and then go get some rest." And with a nod, she returned to her meal.

"Leonidas, Caesar and Ragnar!" (DK) "Two of you will be on guard at all times while the other one rests! Is that clear?"

All three answered as they tried to fill their thorax. "Yes Great DK!"

Ragnar and Caesar stood on guard, while Leonidas returned to his meal.

I sat near the entrance, decided to help out incase more enemies appeared.

(I hope this will be a boring night!)
