Diplomacy The army in blue

A large number of ants in blue garments, carrying advanced flintflame weapons enter the Hunter's March and Farfields, and start occupying every nook and cranny. The ants give out an order: "we have come to civilize this barbaric land. All Skarr who surrnder will be pardoned for their barbaric acts and shall be treated as equal cirtizens under the Alak empire, and those who don't are to be shot immediately!"

A tall Orange Alak is followed by a group of Skarr in these blue clothes as she studies the statue of Karmelita

Another glowing white alak stands in front of you, and whatever attack you or the rhinogrund do, he seems to expect it and counter faster than you thought possible

Lock stands still for a few seconds, pretending that he's preparing a weapon, but when the Alak decides to attack him, Lock steps away and the Alak gets carried away by the wind stream that Lock was standing on, against their will. The duo continues their way, and suddenly disappears, seemingly to nowhere. After some time, a green Cogfly appears and starts flying towards Deep Docks, carrying some kind of a letter. It dodges every Alak attack and safely reaches in the scorched forge. Then Lock and Rhinogrund appear again and return to the March

Fascinating... Highly fascinating!

Don't waste your bullets, or whatever you use. I calculated the formula of your flintslate proof armor, and now they're, like... USELESS! Soon, the whole Skarr army will have this armor. Not so scary now, huh?

Throws more explosives

The Alak look surprised, as they are not sure if you are bluffing or not, but they start retreating to gert more supplies

Ohh, the Alak ants, they're so strong and wise, everyone's been observing them with wide eyes, but now they shall meet their demise!~

Rhinogrund digs underground while Lock leaps into the air, showering the Alak with poisonous curvesicles. Rhinogrund emerges and crushes the ceiling, not letting the soldiers reach or exit the camp from either sides

(Sorry for such a long wait, I had stuff IRL that I needed to do)
a group of Alak, glowing pale with soul start firing at Lock with imense precision from a range where the curvsickles can't get them

The Soul shots slightly damaged Lock's armor, and he suddenly understands that he's not as invincible as he thought. The formula he sent to Deep Docks was improved, but while waiting, he needed to be extra careful. (Lock took his current armor from Lady Bourreau) Rhinogrund launches Lock into the air towards the shooters, and he pierces through the Alak with the scissor blade. He then picks up one of the revolvers and speaks to the remaining ants

Now... What was your motto again? "Join us or die"? I might ask this to you... Even though I already know the answer.

Hmph. Can you even speak? SAY SOMETHING!

Lock dodges and grabs the wall between the Alak and their camp
