Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

The next day.

The knights then began training their squires.

The weapons of that era were quite barbaric and crude; the dueling rapiers favored by nobles 500 years later were practically embroidery needles.

A five-meter-long giant spear, a storm greatsword, a spiked club, a two-handed giant hammer, a one-handed mace, a yoke, a bull-horned battle axe, a double-edged battle axe, a dragon-horned heavy bow, a horned battle shield...

Only such a savage weapon could tear apart the thick carapace of wild insects and beasts. The fancy swordsmanship of later generations is something even women wouldn't learn here.

That's right, even the nuns of the Vatican use iron chains and shields.

These noble young masters and ladies seemed to have completely integrated into this era.

He was not as lazy as he was at the Holy Knights Academy.

The daily training made them very happy, and they often flirted with the nuns who appeared from time to time.

If the little nun were to praise them, they would feel like they were about to have a collective orgasm... and offer up water for washing their faces at Fortress 13.

At this point, Richard was truly out of options; he had completely stopped participating in the role-playing.

Dior Knight was handed over to Yekaterin, while the little nun was controlled by the dream-like little girl.

Time passes little by little.

Finally, one day, Cassandra overheard Jehovah's patriarchs talking:

"Brother Dio, is there still no news of reinforcements from the Papal Knights?"

Dior's knight sat upright in the main seat, his voice low and somber:

"The insect swarm on the Northern Duke's side is even more severe, with even fifth-tier insect beasts appearing. They've all been transferred there to provide support, and that probably includes our support troops as well."

Upon hearing this news, Jehovah also became anxious:

"But our situation isn't good either. Our weapons and food supplies are almost gone. The walls of Fortress Thirteen haven't been reinforced either. As usual, the insect swarm gets worse in the second month of the recovery season..."

Cassandra was eavesdropping perfectly fine.

But upon hearing that it was the second month of the recovery season, she was so frightened that she dropped the longsword she was holding to the ground.

Among the family secrets she secretly read when she was a child, there was a story that: Dio the Knight abandoned Fortress 13 in February of a certain year's resurrection season due to a massive insect swarm invasion... and was then taken in by the Duke of the North...

Kassan Isa's actions naturally attracted the attention of Knight Dio and the others.

"You heard everything?"

Jehovah lifted Cassandra up and asked her casually, but the murderous intent in his tone was already unmistakable.

"I...I heard it." Cassandra was trembling with fear and could only respond timidly.

Yekaterin, who plays the knight Dior, clearly doesn't want to make things difficult for her best friend.

"Alright, Jehovah, put her down. It's no big deal."

Cassandra nodded gratefully, and immediately spoke to Knight Dio:

"My lord, please believe what I am about to say."

"What's so good about a petty thief's words? Brother Dior, I think you should..."

Dio the Knight interrupted Sotus's taunts.

Cassandra continued:

"In the second month of the recovery period, a massive insect swarm will invade Fortress Line 13... Historically, it was you who led everyone to abandon the fortress..."

Before Cassantha could finish speaking, Jehovah interrupted her again:

"Are you finished? What dangerous things you've said?"

Ignoring her ancestors' doubts, Cassandra continued to persuade Knight Dio:

"My lord! We must retreat immediately! Otherwise, the swarm of insects will engulf us all! Please believe me, I am not lying."

Her ashen face was covered in sweat from anxiety.

Dior remained silent for a long time.

Jehovah, however, received a signal from him: "Brother, I believe what you say is true, but the knight must hold his ground."

"But the position is dead! We must survive!" Cassan Isa shouted.

"The role of Fort 13 is to transfer supplies from the rear to the construction teams building the massive walls at the front. At the same time, it draws fire and protects the rear transport troops. We cannot leave here, otherwise the entire supply line will collapse," Jehovah explained.

"But... knowing you're going to die, and still choosing to die, isn't that just idiotic?"

Cassandra shouted urgently.

The ever-silent knight Dio.

Finally, he laughed: "Haha..."

"Hahaha……"

All the knights present laughed: "Aren't knights meant to charge towards death? As long as our deaths are worthwhile, we will have no regrets."

At this moment, Cassandra fell silent. This wasn't what was recorded in the family's secret letters?

Dio's knights did not choose to flee immediately?

Even the knights announced this news to all the auxiliary soldiers.

The auxiliary soldiers were not panicked; after a brief moment of surprise, they accepted the reality.

Even the old auxiliary soldier, huddled in a corner for warmth, hesitated before speaking up: "Young lady, you can read, could you help me write a letter?"

Cassandra was taken aback at first, then immediately realized, "Ah...of course!"

"But... I don't have any paper..." the old auxiliary soldier said, somewhat embarrassed.

Cassandra immediately tore a piece from her clean inner cotton coat and picked up a piece of charcoal: "Please speak."

"I want to tell my grandson... your grandfather didn't go to be a laborer... your grandfather died as a soldier... please be proud of me... live a good life, and once the Great Wall is built, you will be able to live a good life..."

Cassandra paused for a moment, then immediately wrote it down.

Then, the question was asked:

"May I ask your name?"

"Lancelot..."

It's this name?!

Cassandra and the surrounding noble youths were all shocked: The family that founded Night Tide Fortress? He was the founder of that marquisate? The ancestor of that slave boy?

Even Rhine, who had been observing the plot with a detached eye, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth...

Even Yekaterin, who was dressed as Dior's knight, couldn't help but admire Richard's imaginative plot...

After writing, Cassandra Issa had mixed feelings.

A knight who couldn't write also spoke up: "Write one for me too."

"Tell your descendants that your valiant ancestors upheld the honor of knighthood, that they are proud of my bloodline, that they should follow in my footsteps, and charge against the enemy! Charge!"

One knight after another delivered the requests in their wills.

There was no fear or regret in his words; he firmly believed in his faith and despised death.

"We will wipe out the insects and sacrifice our hearts for the survival of humanity!"

The taciturn knight Dio suddenly spoke and asked:

"If you truly come from a kingdom of the future, then... in our world, are humans still ruled by insects and living in fear?"

Cassandra was silent for a moment, then shook her head:

"That's all, the bugs have all been killed..."

Cassandra chose not to tell them that later fourth-tier knights were even so bored as to engage in political infighting instead of going out into the wild to kill a few more insect beasts...

Dior Knight also remained silent for a moment.

Then he let out a long sigh:

"Then we should sacrifice ourselves for the Great Wall... How wonderful, the future world..."
