Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

The auxiliary soldiers also naturally bear some of the combat responsibilities.

To prevent the knights from being attacked from both sides, they had to keep up. They used spears and hammers to clear away the shattered insect organs scattered on the ground.

Because nobody is sure whether these damned bugs will attack again even if they appear dead.

At this moment, even though Cassandra was a woman, she was already full of fighting spirit.

They immediately seized the spears brought by the auxiliary soldiers and filled the ranks behind the knight army, clearing away the broken corpses.

The other noblemen gritted their teeth, picked up their weapons, and rushed to the front lines.

In the daze of battle.

Kassan Isa looked at the Knight Dio from afar; his helmet had just been knocked off by a fourth-tier insect.

Inside was a handsome, taciturn man? And he looked like Richard?

But then it seemed like I didn't see it clearly.

Dio Knight once again engaged in battle with the insectoid beast that had knocked his visor off.

"Never mind, let's kill the bugs first!" Cassan Isa muttered, pulling out the sticky nerve ganglia from the insect beast's limbs.

"kill!"

"Knight! Kill!"

This time, even the noble ladies shouted slogans, picked up weapons, and began to clean up the remains of insects and beasts.

Richard, disguised as Dior Knight, has gone berserk in the insect swarm!

Using this dream as a starting point, he continuously explored various combat methods.

Giant insect cocoon + Blade insect cocoon = Heavy-edged broad blade!

Add the Shadow Cocoon, and it becomes a stealthy weapon of destruction! And if you stack it with various buffs like the Long Tongue Cocoon and the Corrosive Cocoon...

Even late-stage Tier 3 insectoid beasts were utterly destroyed by his attacks.

Of course, playing like this in real life would consume energy. But in dreams, energy consumption is irrelevant...

Richard found this kind of rustic knight charge quite interesting.

It's like someone who's used to eating clams wants to try hand-crushing lemons, and might even want to make the lemon juice twice.

He even wanted to invite Yekaterin and Rhine to come along.

But they found it completely uninteresting.

Rhine's superb swordsmanship offered no advantage against these giant insect beasts. The insect beasts didn't die simply from having their brains ripped open or their hearts pierced… meaning Rhine was the undisputed god of war in humanity's civil war.

Yekaterin's only skill is the rapier. The reason she was able to beat Richard in the dream was only because Richard let her win... The Duchess's actual combat ability is not that great.

Furthermore, in large-scale battles like this, the key is to use sheer force to send bricks flying.

Either smash their shells with blunt force or trample their joints with warhorses.

The more refined and detailed the fighting skills, the more useless they are in this brutal charge.

And at this very moment.

Richard once again faces off against the Silverwing Killer Bug!

However, things are different now.

Even in this dream world, all of Silverwing Hunter's stats were at their peak. This was not the case with the Silverwing Devouring Bugs it had fought after its raid on Stormwind.

Ultimately, it couldn't withstand more than 50 moves from the overpowered Richard.

The pitch-black giant, transformed from the knight Dio, grabbed the two bone scythes with one hand and tore out the yellow ganglia!

In this lifetime.

Upon discovering its father's death, the Silverwing Devourer, a true example of filial piety, charged fiercely at Knight Dio, seeking revenge.

However, it was immediately intercepted by the knights Jehovah and Sotus, and died tragically under the righteous attack of the two fourth-tier knights.

Cassandra, Isabella, and the others were completely stunned!

Were fourth-tier knights from 500 years ago really that powerful? Could one person defeat a fourth-tier insect beast?

Then why did those fourth-tier knights five hundred years later need to use a large number of third-tier knights to fight desperately against the fourth-tier insect beasts and wear down their state before they finally made their move?

These noble young masters and ladies were not unaware of the trickery involved.

They just couldn't accept this fact:

Five hundred years later, the fourth-tier human powerhouses had all lost their fighting spirit. How could high-ranking, powerful, and long-lived nobles possibly put themselves in danger?

The Papacy's demonic insect system, after 500 years of development, had a more standardized training path for the main insect and a more diverse combination of auxiliary insects. It should, in any case, be stronger than the knights of 500 years ago.

But once life becomes comfortable, the high-ranking knights are no longer willing to take risks.

This has nothing to do with strength, but with mindset!

Until all the leading fourth-tier insectoid beasts were killed.

The other third-tier insectoid beasts no longer dared to continue their charge.

……

A small swarm of insects passed just like that.

Some elderly auxiliary soldiers who had not participated in the battle and were in good condition were left behind to clean up the battlefield, while the knights returned to the castle to recover from their injuries.

Cassandra searched everywhere for the Dior knight who looked like Richard.

They finally found her in the crowd, but unfortunately, she was stopped by the guards and couldn't get close at all.

This noble lady really wanted to see. Did the legendary Knight Dio, the first King Gil, look exactly like Richard?

After all, she had learned from Yekaterin that Richard had some royal blood. It wasn't unreasonable for Dior to resemble Richard.

"This is so annoying! Why can't we just enjoy the story in a relaxed, immersive way? Why do we have to make it interactive?"

Richard himself has returned to the director's room, silently complaining.

Meanwhile, Yekaterin recalled historical knowledge and told Richard about the fate of the August family's Castle No. 13 500 years ago.

Her expression and tone were somewhat strange:

"Fortress No. 13, having failed to receive reinforcements from the Papal Knights, saw Knight Dio choose to preserve his forces in the face of a massive insect swarm..."

Richard interrupted untimely:

"This is the right choice. After all, the fortress is dead, but the people are alive. As long as people are still alive, there is still a chance to turn things around. I never expected that Knight Dio would know those Earth-style military strategies."

Yekalin pinched the guy who interrupted her.

She continued her strange opening remarks:

"While I agree with your assessment, in the era of the goddess 500 years ago, abandoning a fortress was a capital offense. Knight Dio approached his superior at the time, the Duke of the North, seeking an alliance with the August family to overthrow the Goddess's Church..."

Yekarin continued to add details:

"The Duke of the North sheltered him, and in the subsequent war, Knight Dio distinguished himself and became the Goddess's Guardian Knight Commander..."

After hearing Yekaterin's account of the historical truth, Richard had nothing more to say.

The truth of history is surprisingly simple and straightforward.

Because of the crime of abandoning a fortress? He rebelled against the goddess and established a country? And it lasted for five hundred years afterward...

Richard, of course, understood that the weight of history could not be summarized in just a few words.

But as that saying goes...

All great achievements originate from a humble motivation.
