Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

"Did the nobles of your time betray their honor?"

A knight in full plate armor asked, "Is this Rhein Lancelot in disguise?"

Cassandra hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, her tone filled with shame:

"Yes, we will definitely hold on..."

These words silenced all the noble young men and women present. They dared not tell their ancestors about the absurd deeds of later generations…

The Knight of Jehovah smiled at Cassan Isa, a rare occurrence for him. (Join the discussion:)

"So, was the giant wall eventually completed?"

Cassandra immediately stood up straight, her right hand firmly at her chest. She responded loudly:

"Yes, the colossal wall has been built! It has stood for a full 550 years in the northern snowfields! Throughout history... there have been more than a hundred instances of colossal insect beasts, and super insect tides led by fifth-tier ultimate beings! We have driven them all back!"

A noble young master immediately added:

"We crafted furniture from their shells and swords from their worm teeth. Within the Great Wall, humans are the absolute apex predator on the food chain!"

Some noble ladies chimed in:

"After the giant wall was built, we had skyscrapers hundreds of meters high... endless highways in the clouds... all sorts of wonders were built..."

"There are countless farmlands and complete industrial zones. Cattle and sheep graze on the fertile land, and horses gallop freely..."

Listen to them describe how, 500 years from now, such a magnificent and prosperous era will exist.

Veteran auxiliary soldier Lancelot hurriedly spoke up:

"Does that mean everyone lives a very happy life, everyone owns large tracts of land, no one goes hungry, and no one has to work for days on end and can sleep soundly until they wake up?"

Lancelot's words left the young nobles, who were still lost in thought, completely bewildered.

The answer is, of course, no!

Even with such abundant social resources, they were still controlled by a small number of nobles...

The noblemen and ladies were completely at a loss for words when it came to answering Lancelot's question.

Furthermore, before they traveled here, a slave descended from the Lancelot family had appeared at the party.

Now they were in an even more difficult position to face Lancelot. After all, this old auxiliary soldier had helped them a great deal during the few days since they arrived...

Kassan Isa bit her lip, a profound sense of humiliation bringing tears to her eyes. She simply couldn't bear to deceive these people who were full of faith in the future.

But in the end, she still chose to nod:

"Yes... everyone can eat their fill... we no longer need to struggle for a living..."

The other noblemen and ladies were all wiping away tears, feeling ashamed... ashamed of how absurd they had been in the first 20 years of their lives!

Another seriously wounded knight got up:

"So, is medicine so advanced that you don't need to empty your pockets to get sick?"

Cassandra was too sobbing to answer him. A young man began to speak:

"Yes...yes..."

More and more people gathered around, and a knight who couldn't read spoke up:

"What about schooling? Are there many schools where children can go to colleges to learn to read and write?"

"Yes...yes!"

Knight Commander Dio's eyes were already red-rimmed, and he revealed a smile he had never seen before:

"So, your so-called Kingdom of Kiel must be quite a wonderful place!"

However, before everyone could continue their reflections...

Outside the castle, the ground trembled slightly, and gravel danced in the air, like countless warhorses galloping.

The horns on the tower roared hoarsely, foreshadowing the arrival of a powerful enemy.

The grating, creaking chirping of insects had already reached everyone's ears.

"All troops, form ranks!" Knight Dio shouted!

There were still no grand pronouncements; all the knights, squires, nuns, and auxiliary soldiers took up their weapons.

Fearless knights lined up side by side in an iron formation, never losing their courage to charge even against the strongest enemy.

...

...

However, before the insect beasts could get closer...

As if he had figured something out, Dio the Knight pulled the noble young master off his six-legged warhorse.

"You don't need to sacrifice yourselves. You all look like you're only in your twenties, right?"

Cassandra, Isabella, and the others were clearly puzzled:

These knights, Dio and his ilk, look to be no more than twenty years old. What kind of reason is that for us to run for our lives? Even the future king dared to fight to the death! Why can't we?

"Aren't you from the future? In that case, go to the church! Tell the bishop, tell the goddess, tell the common people..."

"I……"

Kassan Isa didn't know what to say for a moment. Although she understood that according to the course of history, Dio the Knight would definitely not die.

But to ask these noble youths and ladies to desert... they simply cannot do it!!

Having witnessed the knights' fearless spirit of sacrifice and faith, the young nobles were deeply moved.

This fostered a strong sense of belonging and honor among these pampered young masters and ladies towards this pure yet barbaric, cruel yet beautiful era.

They refused to be deserters! They were determined to fight alongside Knight Dio and the others to the very end!

Before the noble lords could respond to Knight Dio's request to let them desert,

A sharp, piercing chirp of an insect echoed through the ranks!

Another Silverwing Killer Insect?!

No! No!

Its aura was clearly much stronger! It also had seven pairs of wings on its back, like silver blades, gleaming with a cold light in the night.

It was a full nine meters tall, with four pairs of blood-stained giant bone scythes on its chest!

The moment it appeared in the knights' ranks, it immediately caused chaos.

this is.

—Fourteen-winged Devouring Knight Insect!

Dio Knight immediately fought against this late-stage, fourth-tier fully evolved monster.

The greatsword clashed with the giant scythe... but after hundreds of rounds...

The previously invincible Dio Knight was unable to defeat this opponent no matter what he did. He even seemed to be being suppressed!

Jehovah and the knights Sotus wanted to help him, but they were intercepted by even more fourth-tier insect beasts!

This time, the situation is that two fourth-tier insectoid beasts are fighting against a fourth-tier knight.

The entire battlefield is in chaos...

All the fourth-tier knights were tied down by even more fourth-tier insect beasts, leaving them completely unable to suppress the third-tier insect beasts.

The knights accompanying these noblemen and ladies were even more vulnerable.

How could they possibly make rapid progress in just a few days of training, like in the novels?

The chaotic battle did not last long before casualties began to occur.

Many noble ladies were caught off guard and had their heads bitten off, but they wouldn't let go of the armor-piercing hammer in their hands...

The noble young masters used the earth demon worms within their bodies to manifest full sets of armor. However, they were no match for the terrifying bite force of the fourth-tier insect beast.

One by one, they were brutally torn in two by the grotesque mandibles of death. But they didn't give up, lying on the ground desperately swinging their weapons, trying to inflict damage on the insectoid beast until they bled to death…

Until most of the squires were killed or wounded, the charging knights began to be attacked from both sides.

A fourth-tier knight was ambushed by insectoid beasts and carried high into the air. Without any foothold, all his limbs were devoured by the swarming insects.

However, the powerful vitality of a fourth-tier fully formed being allowed him to keep his eyes fixed on the direction of Knight Dio even as his head was bitten off...

Dio Knight was still fighting the Fourteen-Winged Killer Knight Insect. His armor was completely destroyed, and he had lost all his former glory.

Looking at the battlefield in complete disarray, Dio's mind raced:

This can't go on!

Even at Fortress 13, such a large swarm of insectoid beasts has appeared. Wouldn't the insect swarm in the Giant Wall Engineering Zone be even larger?

He gritted his teeth and made a sudden decision:

"All forces break out! Support the Giant Wall Engineering Zone!"

Since the construction of the colossal wall was of great significance to humanity, then abandoning the fortress is not a crime, nor does it violate the code of chivalry!
