The Evil Ant King No. 5

The aardvarks proved successful, suppressing and forcing the ants to accede to the pinnacle of Mount Everest. The situation appeared ominous for the ants, for they feared losing the war at this point. Underground, the venal ant king set a curse upon the aardvarks. They became very ill at the most inopportune time; the humans had almost clenched victory. The deft ants went to work, finishing the ant king's work. Very little of the aardvarks survived. The weakened ant army comprised of just a few million ants, so they had to go back to the musty underground tunnels to reproduce. On the surface, the humans got solace from the ceasefire. The war was over... for now.
