Zerg: Seduction! A brutal and insane female Zerg dotes on me.

Yan Kai thought these soldiers were also part of the sacrificial ceremony, playing a role similar to a guard of honor.

After the line of insects stood still, the leader insect in the middle took out a palm-sized black square metal piece from its left pocket, threw it on the ground, and it instantly split into a three-tiered staircase. Then it took out a... horn from its right pocket.

Starting in Longkoda's dialect, he shouted: "Attention! Attention! Due to the large number of insects on site, in order to avoid a stampede, we are preparing to activate the cloud ladder. Please line up and follow these eight soldiers holding small red flags in an orderly manner, forming four columns, and enter from the southwest gate! Enter from the southwest gate! I repeat, enter from the southwest gate, do not stand at the north gate! Do not stand at the north gate!"

The sudden change caused a disturbance.

"You bastards! Why didn't you tell me sooner? You only told me after we'd already reserved the spots!"

"I came here before dawn just to get a front-row seat, why should I be able to switch places like this?"

"Exactly! Why should we be allowed to?! We brothers specially rushed back from the border ahead of time, hoping to get closer to the sacrificial altar so we could receive the insect god's baptism. What does this mean now?"

The soldier wasn't in a hurry. He waved his hand to calm everyone down and continued, "Please be patient! Please be patient! It's not that we don't want you to stand here, but the leader said the Winter Festival is going to be long, and it's too tiring for you to stand. This year, we can all participate sitting down! The cloud ladders will be fully activated soon, and every insectoid will have a place! Every insectoid will have a place! We guarantee that everyone will have an equally unobstructed view!"

In the past, apart from male insects and their affiliated female families, other insect people in Longkoda were not qualified to sit. Whether it was an event or a grand ceremony, they either had to stand or kneel. If they did not accept, they would die.

"real or fake?"

Youchong immediately raised questions.

"This is truly unprecedented."

The soldier straightened his chest and affirmed, "Of course! Would I possibly relay the leader's orders without authorization?"

"By the Insect God! What are you all thinking? The era of male insects is over. Our current leader is the female insect!"

The surrounding insects then realized that they had been freed!

"Look at my brain! We are now the masters of Longkoda!"

"Long live the leader!"

Someone shouted, and then all the insects joined in.

"Long live the leader!"

"Long live the leader!"

Neat and loud.

Undisguised joy.

Yan Kai was completely bewildered amidst the cheers.

"why?"

He asked Harwick.

"what?"

Why are they so happy?

Just because there's a place to sit?

Harwick turned around and his gaze fell on Yan Kai. Because he was wearing a hood, only his clear black and white eyes were visible.

He had never seen any other male insect with such colors, so much so that he always felt a strange sense of incongruity whenever they made eye contact.

The feeling of being both like and unlike its own kind reached its peak at this moment.

Even though he was standing right in the middle of a group of insects, no more than an arm's length away, he felt that this insect was always detached and out of place with its surroundings.

Harwick frowned slightly. He didn't like to think too much, so he didn't want to know anything about Yan Kai's past, nor did he want him to continue to explore Longkoda's past.

Those ugly things should be buried in the snow.

In any case, separation was inevitable.

Harwick remained silent for a long time: "Yan Kai, Longkoda may seem cruel and cold-blooded to you, but it is not all darkness... I am not good with words and cannot say nice things, but I still hope that you can remember that the snow in Longkoda is pure white, the wind in Longkoda is not always fierce, and the insect people in Longkoda... are not cold. That is enough."

This is enough.

The lifespan of a Zergling is long, and memories will gradually fade with time.

Harwick doesn't need the male insect to remember him, but he doesn't want him to forget that on the insectoid continent, there is a white land called Longkoda.

The young female insect raised her head, her gaze falling on the familiar street, the city shrouded in darkness. No matter how bad it was, she still loved it, regarding it as her glory, and was willing to become a sharp sword to stand guard until the very last moment.

A hundred years from now, we don't know if it will still be there.

After all, when the female insects decided to revolt, they were already prepared for the same outcome, even if they took different paths.

Yan Kai looked at Harwick, who had suddenly fallen silent, and felt a pang of sadness. He couldn't help but reach out and pull him back, saying, "Don't overthink it."

Harwick shrugged indifferently: "My brain is smaller than a fingernail, what could I possibly be thinking? You shouldn't overthink it. It's a rare opportunity to get out, so enjoy yourself and eat well. After the ceremony, I'll take you to the food street. Longkoda has quite a few unique things there."

"Okay, which way shall we go?"

Yan Kai did not refuse. Yalta was very busy today and would definitely not have time to care about him.

"Of course we'll follow Insect Lord's group!"

Harwick was taller than Yan Kai. He jumped up, looked to both sides, and pointed to the team to the south, saying, "This way."

Yan Kai quickly followed.

However, due to the sheer number of insectoids, the procession was barely taking shape before the surrounding area descended into chaos.

"Damn it! Who stepped on my shoe?!"

"My hat! Who took my hat!"

"Patrolman! There's a thief here! He tried to steal my wallet in the chaos!"

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly out of control, the lead soldier sent out another squad, which took off into the air and directed the swarm to disperse to the north and south.

The lead soldier continued to hold up a loudspeaker to maintain order at the scene, like a city management officer.

"Hurry up and catch up with the group! Keep an eye on your bugs! You white-haired one to the southwest, yes! I'm talking to you! Watch your bugs! Keep a safe distance! You over there, the one with the red head! That's you! Don't push! Let your bugs go first, don't let them get trampled!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing over there! Flying is prohibited in the city! Where's that kid's parent? Put your butterfly baby away right now! Maintain order! Maintain order! No flying is allowed except for patrolling insect babies!"

"What's going on?! Why is this little brat flying?! And there are some over there too! Believe me or not, I'll catch you all in a net!"

However, the baby insects are still baby insects, and they are not really obedient. They flap their little wings and fly around on the shoulders of their female father and relatives, and the surrounding insects do not say anything.

The sacrificial ceremony is held once a year. On this day, as long as it is not too outrageous, minor breaches of the rules can be forgiven.

There weren't many newborns in Longkoda, and the soldiers felt helpless but not angry.

The lead soldier, with a stern expression, warned, "Alright, alright, don't fly too high, or you'll regret it if the wind blows you away!"

The little insect seemed dissatisfied with being looked down upon and huffed, "No way! I'm already a warrior of Longkoda!"

The little insects that followed clenched their fists in protest.

The lead soldier couldn't help but chuckle: "Look at that tone! He hasn't even grown his wings yet, and he calls himself a warrior? Learn to keep your balance before you start bragging!"

The little bug was unconvinced and tried to fly over to prove itself, but it was actually blown off balance by the cold wind and crashed directly into Yan Kai's head.

His wings were indeed fragile and not strong enough to maintain his balance. He was about to fall to the ground when Yan Kai caught him.

The little bug knew it had caused trouble, so it covered its forehead and apologized pitifully, "I'm sorry."

Yan Kai held the little ball of flesh in his hand, which showed absolutely no signs of life.

Even the cubs are adorable, let alone this race with its incredible good looks.

The little creature in my hand, with its white skin, big eyes, and golden curly hair, looks a bit like Cupid, the Western god of love.

"I'm fine. How are you feeling? Are you dizzy?"

Yan Kai looked at the large bump on his forehead, worried that he might have suffered a concussion.

The little bug pouted, its eyes slightly red, and sniffed, but stubbornly held it back: "I, I, I'm already a five-month-old bug, it doesn't hurt at all!"

"Little Warrior?"

Yan Kai laughed.

The little insect nodded vigorously.

"Even warriors are afraid of pain. Pain is pain, and if you want to cry, you cry."

The little bug's mouth was almost touching its chin, but it still didn't let the tears fall.

Yan Kai felt a pang of heartache for some reason.

These little creatures have their natural instincts stifled from birth; Longkoda's ideas are distorted from the very beginning.

"Noel! Are you alright?!"

A blonde female insect hurriedly squeezed out of the swarm and called out to the baby insects.

"Father!" The little insect buried its head in the mother's arms, looking aggrieved. "Such a big, such a big lump!"

"Serves you right!"

The blonde female insect held the baby insect tightly in her arms and bowed to Yan Kai in apology: "Sir, I am very sorry, my baby insect offended you."

Yan Kai waved his hand and said, "I'm fine." He bent down and said to the little insect, "If you feel dizzy, be sure to tell your female father, okay?"

"Well--"

The little bug nestled in the arms of the golden-haired female bug, whimpering softly.

The blonde female insect touched the insect cub's forehead and said to Yan Kai, "Sir, it's not convenient to talk right now. This is my business card. Please accept it. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Toslia Chamber of Commerce to find me."

Yan Kai's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the badge on the business card, the scales across the sword, a faint smile playing on his lips. He reached out and took the card, softly saying, "Thank you."

The blonde female insect waved at him and apologized again: "I'm really sorry, but I have to go over there now. My friend's insect babies need to be looked after."

"I'm fine, don't worry about it."

Please be sure to contact me later.

"it is good."

Yan Kai thought to himself, "Of course."

After bowing again, the blonde female insect struggled to circle back to the original line, carrying her baby insect.

Harwick silently stared in the direction of the female insect. The Toslia Merchant Guild was the largest caravan in Longkoda and currently the last noble family to maintain neutrality in this uprising...

Yan Kai stuffed the business card into his pocket, rubbed the edge, turned around, and met Harwick's calm gaze.

They didn't speak, but they both understood each other perfectly.

"Let's go, don't fall behind."

Yan Kai took two steps forward, walked to the female insect's side, and whispered something.

"Harwick, I will never forget Longkoda."

Including everything that happens here.

Regardless of what the future holds, whether he lives or dies, Yan Kai is willing to give this female insect a promise he can make to the best of his ability.

He deserves it.

Harwick paused slightly, then resumed his pace and caught up with the group.

In my heart, I silently replied: Okay.

About ten minutes later, the swarm of insects in the entire square dispersed.

The lead soldier started shouting through a megaphone again: "We're getting ready to deploy the ladders now. Follow the soldiers with the little red flags and don't wander off, or you'll all be arrested and thrown in jail!"

"You're really talking nonsense. Hurry up and start driving. It'll take time to get up there. There's only an hour left, what are you babbling about!"

"That's right, we'll lock you up first if you're late for the auspicious time!"

The lead soldier put down the megaphone and made a gesture towards the sky.

Yan Kai looked at the sky and, seeing that nothing was happening, asked Harwick, puzzled, "What are you planning to do? And what is the cloud ladder?"

Harwick pulled him forward, his voice brimming with excitement: "Just wait and see. If you ask me, it has to be the leader. We never enjoyed this kind of treatment when Old King Worm was in power."

Just as Yan Kai was filled with curiosity, a dark shadow fell over his head.

He looked up, his pupils slightly dilated.

This is like a scene from a sci-fi blockbuster.

Four humanoid mechs flew over, about 10 meters tall, their bodies a cold black, their joints as flexible as real people, each step exuding an aura of power!

Which man wouldn't love that!

Yan Kai's eyes lit up: "This is so cool!"

“These are all the most basic civilian-use ones. There will be a military parade next June, and if…” Harwick paused, then continued, “you will see all kinds of combat mechs.”

Yan Kai looked at the towering mechs, seemingly lost in thought, and nodded: "There will always be a chance."

While chatting, four mechs were scattered at the four corners of the square, dropping N square boxes along the way. They were stacked in a neat row, and then, as if some switch had been pressed, the boxes began to automatically disassemble and reassemble into individual positions. The mechs moved extremely fast, stacking the boxes layer by layer. In just two or three minutes, the entire square was transformed into a huge arc-shaped grandstand.

It has the feel of a large stadium.

Yan Kai's eyes widened in surprise: "That's pretty high-end, isn't it?"

Harwick said with pride, “This is nothing. There are plenty of interesting little things in Longkoda. Hurry up and we’ll be seated soon.”

Yan Kai looked around as he moved forward with the group, but when it was their turn, they were stopped by the soldiers.

"You two are not seated here."

Harwick asked in confusion, "Not all insects have seats, so why can't we go in?"

The soldier gave him a reassuring smile and pointed to a spot not far away, explaining, "Your positions have been prepared for a long time, but we just couldn't find you earlier."

Harwick looked in the direction the soldier was pointing; it was the Lonkorda noble district.

Right below the altar, the area is divided into two semi-circular sections, with the central staircase serving as the boundary.

Harwick was shocked. He pointed to his face and leaned closer: "Look carefully, there's no mistake, is there?"

The soldier smiled at them, then gave Yan Kai a meaningful look: "The leader specifically instructed us to..."

Harwick immediately understood, nudged the male insect next to him with his elbow: "Oh, I'm benefiting from your help," and then turned to the soldier and said, "Thank you."

The soldier smiled politely and replied, "You're welcome. It's my duty."

Harwick pulled Yan Kai in the opposite direction, touched the tip of his nose, and whispered, "Actually, I think the leader is really good to you."

They were called slaves, but when they were released separately, they weren't chained up. Instead, they were given a place in the noble district. Who wouldn't believe it if they weren't treated specially?

Yan Kai remained silent, looking towards the altar. The enormous statue of the Insect God stood silently, just as he had seen when he first arrived—powerful yet indifferent.

Like Yalta.
