Fern treants poured into the hive in an endless stream and soon cleared out the enormous hive.
These creatures were like a swarm of locusts, leaving no usable nutrients behind.
Even the hive itself had all its nutrients absorbed, becoming useless waste.
The hundred-meter limbs stretching toward the sky rapidly cracked apart as well, turning into piles of gray powder that scattered on the wind.
Herad felt that even the Aqir, which made highly efficient use of resources, fell somewhat short of these creatures.
Completely hollowed out, the hive soon collapsed into a huge pit.
Who knew how many shells an artillery piece would have to fire to cause a similar collapse.

Buried fern treants emerged one after another from the pit, which covered a good fifty or sixty square kilometers, then headed toward another hive.
There was no need to say what would happen to any hive they encountered.
The night elf sentinel who discovered this looked utterly bewildered.

Sandworms were also very likely to appear here.
Sandworms were enormous worms that
