The Tide II

"Fuck!"

Curses rang out everywhere, seeing the tide of critters.

Yes, it is the tide, and it had thousands of critters and only thirty-two people to fight them. 

My heart shook seeing it, but I calmed it down.

One Sky Sovereign is fighting the queen, while four were surrounding the blazing forest in the four directions, in case any critter came out of it, but now the whole tide was coming.

It had been less than ten minutes since we had attacked the queen. They shouldn't have gathered so many in such numbers; the only reason I could think about is that the queen had a small hidden-hive close by.

It is not in the open; likely underground. 

Deep enough that even the soul sense of Sky Sovereigns couldn't detect it with a casual glance of soul sense.

It is extremely rare because the critters need to be in a queen. The further they are the higher the chances of death.
