Volume 1: Chapter 50: The Surprise of the Inner Guards
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:31:25 +0000 UTCIn the snow.
Several figures appeared.
Just not in human form.
“…”
When did Broken Tooth leave?
Kiana Kaslana looked at the small creature flapping its wings.
And other tiny creatures behind it.
Unlike Broken Tooth, the newly emerged creatures did not have wings on their backs, and their mouths were also completely "W"-shaped, unlike Broken Tooth which had a place that was abruptly flattened.
in addition--
Broken Tooth seems to be a little bigger, but not much bigger.
"?"
Talulah was stunned when she saw the tiny creatures that suddenly appeared.
Where did it come from?
She doesn't understand.
The one leading the group seems to be the Broken Tooth that Zerg has been holding?
But what are those following behind it?
Is it of the same kind?
But Broken Tooth is not 100% identical to these creatures.
"Sister... where did they come from?"
A snow monster couldn't help but ask.
Then Yelena glared back at him.
Is now the time to focus on this issue?
The three legendary face-destroying monsters have formed an encirclement!
"hiss……"
The inner guards also saw those small purple creatures.
The black spears flew in front of them in an instant.
However, the small creature in the lead bit the black spear -
“Crack.”
The sharp teeth crushed the spear.
If I remember correctly, the leading one was squatting at the feet of the white-haired civilian.
But it disappeared without him noticing.
I didn't even notice it until the other person appeared again.
"hiss……"
The first guard who appeared felt something was wrong.
Are there psions nearby, messing with their minds and creating illusions?
No, it's not possible.
The sharp swords of the empire are all people with strong wills, otherwise they would not be able to become the sharp swords of the emperor.
Those who were unqualified were hunted down by their former colleagues.
While thinking about it, the inner guard noticed something strange -
The tiny purple creature disappeared.
Instead,
Ferocious and terrifying monsters.
Sharp fangs, corners of the mouth dripping with sticky saliva, and golden pupils filled with bloodthirsty desire.
“…”
The guards took a step back unconsciously.
This appearance, this look!
No, impossible!
The time has not come yet, and the sentry tower at the edge of the tundra has not sent out any alarm!
Unlike the lying Ursus soldiers on the tundra, the soldiers stationed in the watchtowers are all elite.
If a natural disaster strikes——
They will be the first to face the sharp teeth of those bugs!
Only warriors with a strong will would guard the borders of the empire with the determination to die.
Why do these bugs appear in the tundra!
They are not old guards who have faced the insect swarm disaster directly, but they still remember the appearance of these insects!
That is the description passed down from generation to generation——
"When you see a bug, there are hundreds, thousands, or even countless bugs following it."
"The best way to deal with it right now is to give yourself some dignity - if you don't want to be bitten to death."
"If possible, we can give these bugs a little kingdom shock."
"The blades of the empire are never cowards!"
"Ulla! For Ursus!"
This is a record left behind by a certain imperial blade.
Before he became a sharp blade, he was probably a painter with some talent, so he drew the appearance of the bug.
The painting is so realistic that you can almost feel the bloodthirsty horror of the insects.
As for the final fate of this sharp blade——
Just like what was recorded in the book, it gave the bugs a little kingdom shock.
It self-destructed in the endless swarm of insects, delaying... a little bit of time.
According to the descriptions of some surviving old guards, those insects have a high degree of natural resistance to attacks made with demonic fragments, and only physical weapons can cause more effective damage.
What is disturbing is that -
Generation after generation of inner guards found it increasingly difficult to break through the insects' shells.
It's as if they are evolving and adapting.
If Terra's technology can't keep up with the speed of evolution of these bugs...
The nightmare of the past turned into a real existence and appeared before the internal guards.
"【Ursus swear words】!"
The three inner guards gathered together immediately.
At this moment, they no longer cared about Talulah and the other infected people.
The most important thing now is to spread the news that the bugs have reappeared!
Although there were only a few insects in front of him, less than ten in total.
But the internal guards did not believe that there were only a few insects on the tundra.
And it’s not quite the same as what’s recorded—
The leading insect grew wings.
Have these damn bugs evolved again?
"Gah."
The ferocious monsters began to approach.
“clang!”
Three sabers were unsheathed.
They gave up on using demonic fragments to launch attacks.
Because according to the past experience of the old inner guards, the damage caused by the attacks of the evil demon fragments is very low.
Even the country caused by self-destruction can only slightly slow down the speed of the insects.
Only physical attacks can cause more effective damage.
"36, 43, 79, 51, [secret code]."
"51, 14, 57, 89, [Secret Words]."
"11, 45, 14, 19, [secret code]."
With their sabers drawn, they tried to get the message across.
However--
“Sizzle…”
The special communication device carried made a noisy sound.
An unknown force is interfering with communications.
Even the internal security communicators they were equipped with were unable to send any information due to the interference.
“Gah!”
The bugs started running.
Get rid of these bugs first!
According to the experience of the old guards, a small number of insects do not pose a big threat and the guards can still deal with them.
The reason why the insect swarm is called a natural disaster is because of its endless numbers.
The saber was unsheathed, reflecting a dangerous cold light.
The winged insects rushed over first.
The inner guard chopped down with the saber in his hand.
Then--
The insect in front of him turned into a residual image and disappeared in front of him.
“Boom!”
A figure flew out backwards.
The other two inner guards didn't care about their companions who were knocked away.
Other insects that had not grown wings were approaching.
The sabers hit their shells directly.
According to past records, the special sabers of the inner guards can still easily break through the insects' shells that are specially resistant to Originium techniques...
“…”
The high-tech saber created by Ursus' cutting-edge technology pierced into the shell, but the internal guards felt an extremely obvious resistance.
"hiss!"
Faced with the insect going crazy because of the pain, the emperor's sharp blade was forced to loosen his hand.
This is not the insect swarm in the past that had a high degree of resistance to Originium skills!
This is a new species of bug that has evolved a high degree of resistance to physical attacks!
