Core Natures
A large majority of the ants had been dealt with. However, there was still a large number of them that remained.
On one hand, it wasn't as overwhelming as before, but on the other hand, it was pretty much only the strong ants that remained. So mostly Apprentice-level beasts and above.
The turrets had gone back to shredding everything that moved, but the difficulty was apparent as now, the creatures were withstanding far more bullets than previously. The reason for this mostly being due to their tough exoskeletons.
The flame turrets were forced to retract into the ground since, unlike the normal turrets, they couldn't constantly unleash their contents due to certain risks of overheating. That and supplying fuel to them constantly wasn't possible for a variety of reasons, the biggest of which being how volatile said fuel was.
Even so, the flames that were unleashed still raged across the battlefield, constantly eating away at the weaker ants.
