Yan Kai had never thought about understanding this era before; it wasn't a place he wanted to belong to, and he had always remained detached from it.

But now he has a different idea: under the rule of this corrupt feudal system, perhaps there is also something that shines brightly on its own.

As the ceremony came to a close, the ceremonial officials began chanting softly again, and all the insect people maintained a unified posture of prayer, their faces serene and solemn.

Suddenly, the longsword and spear in the flames transformed into two enormous fire dragons that soared into the sky, scattering as a golden rain.

Yan Kai reached out to take it with great curiosity, and it wasn't hot at all.

"what is this?"

He asked Harwick.

"Flame".

"Is that something that actually exists?"

Yan Kai had always thought this was just one version of events.

"Of course it's true, but it's not very useful for male insects, which is why they are afraid of the cold and have short lifespans."

Yan Kai glanced at Hawick, who only spoke the truth, and thought it was strange that he hadn't been beaten to death by now.

"You can be like the High Priest?"

"Ordinary insect people do not have this ability. The High Priest clan is special. The flames in their bodies can materialize. The ancestors believed that this was a special ability granted by the Insect God. In order to get closer to its people, it gradually became a sacrificial ceremony."

"So that's it..."

Yan Kai looked at the twinkling stars in the sky. The afterimage of the fire dragon had not yet completely faded away. The myriad insects were still immersed in the solemn atmosphere they had just experienced, sincerely praying for peace.

"Bang-"

"Tu tu tu tu tu—"

Suddenly, chaotic gunfire shattered the solemnity and tranquility of the scene.

A group of female insects with guns appeared in the swarm and began indiscriminately firing.

The insectoids, realizing what was happening, shouted, "Ambush! Ambush!"

"Patrol!"

"Spread out!"

"what's the situation!"

"Insect shit! Today is a grand sacrificial ceremony, and they actually cause trouble on such a day!"

"Protect the bug larvae! Quick! Protect the bug larvae!"

Because there were too many insects gathered together, the female insects had nowhere to hide, so they could only hug their young and spread their wings to protect them.

However, these raiders were equipped with specially designed laser guns, which could easily pierce through those steel-sturdy wings, plunging the square into chaos.

To avoid being shot, countless female insects had to flap their wings and take flight, as if this was the moment they had been waiting for.

Two warships suddenly appeared in the open sky, their light cannons already emitting a whooshing sound, ready to fire.

The patrolman shouted through a megaphone, "Come down quickly—there's an ambush up there!"

Unfortunately, the swarm of insects was too busy escaping to listen to anything else, and they flew around aimlessly.

The ceremonial guards on the city wall sounded the alarms and quickly lit the beacon towers.

The laser turret is ready and waiting for the patrolmen to pull up the protective shield so that the opposing warship can be shot down in one fell swoop.

However, it was still a step too late.

boom--

With a loud bang, the entire ground trembled, and the protective layer that had not yet gathered was shattered by the light bullet fired by the enemy.

Although it withstood some of the attacks, countless shotgun shells still fell around the square. With cries of agony, the poor insectoids that were hit were blown to pieces, leaving not even a complete body behind.

When the thick fog dissipated, the scene was horrific; a strong wind howled, and a thick, acrid smell filled the air.

A tall female insect crawled up from the ground, her face covered in bloodstains. She rubbed it hard and pointed at the warship in the sky, cursing loudly.

"You damn insect shit, how dare you launch a sneak attack during the Insect God Ceremony! If you've got the guts, come down and fight me! Don't hide in the shadows and let the insects look down on you!"

His two companions, having lost their severed limbs, urged him menacingly, "Stop spouting nonsense! Open the mech! Bomb that thing down!"

"I just can't swallow this! Our Southwest Garrison is participating in the sacrificial ceremony for the first time ever, and the fun has been ruined before we even got to enjoy it!"

"Then let's get this thing done right now!"

As they spoke, the group pulled a black box from their pockets, placed it on the ground, and three silver-white mechs sprang up from the spot.

The female insects leaped inside, activated the internal military network system, and connected with the four black mechs from before: "Leave the warships to us, you evacuate the civilians immediately!"

Without hesitation, the black mech gave a confirmation gesture, and then began to manually adjust the direction of the ladders in pairs, pulling out the new protective shields to block stray bullets from the aircraft, allowing the swarm of insects to temporarily hide in the Alitus Palace.

The attackers were clearly well-prepared, having been lying in wait all around from the start.

As the artillery fire began, everyone rushed toward the central square, only to be met head-on by the Imperial Guards led by Xiu.

Looking at the tall, one-armed female insect opposite him, the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"It's an old friend, Stoka. How have you been?"

He wore a black robe, his mask still on, and his long, blood-red hair, which had fallen onto his shoulders, gradually turned dark red.

Stoka sneered: "You charlatans, Longkoda has no need for you."

"When you betrayed me, I crippled one of your hands. I warned you then that if I ever saw you again, I would take your life."

He raised his hand, and a blazing flame hung in his palm.

Stokka clutched his missing right arm, his eyes filled with resentment: "We came here today intending to leave alive. You are the traitors of Longkoda! The Insect God will not forgive your evil deeds, nor will he want to hear your oaths!"

"Long live the male insect!"

The female insect raised her hand and shouted, and the swarm of insects behind her echoed in unison:

"Long live the male insect!"

Stoka struck first: "Kill—"

Xiu stared at them expressionlessly, his five fingers clenching, and the flames that had been in his palm suddenly vanished—

boom--

The flames of war rose from the ground and surrounded all the rebel troops.

His thin lips parted slightly: "Want to die?"

"Okay—I'll grant your wish~"

In the blink of an eye, the fire dragon soared into the sky.

The flames, which had been completely still, instantly became scorching hot...

Elke was assisting with the evacuation at the palace gate. As more and more rebels appeared, he suggested to Yalta, "They are mixed in with the insect swarm and are difficult to guard against. We cannot let them enter the palace directly!"

As one enemy was killed, another appeared, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe and making the retreat extremely difficult.

Yalta flapped his wings and spun around, his expression cold and stern. He quickly switched between the two laser guns in his hands, not wasting a single bullet, all of which were aimed directly at the center of the attacker's forehead.

He coldly surveyed the surrounding remains and ordered, "Royal Guard, prepare! Anyone found acting suspiciously will be killed without mercy. All insectoids, retreat to the Alitus Palace, not a single one will be left behind!"

Elke had anticipated this response. He sighed, raised his laser gun, swiftly eliminated the two traitorous insects, and continued his posting.

On the other side, the warship's second laser missile is about to be ready and is counting down.

The three mechs that were originally entangled have somehow become five, including the Southwest Garrison and Dela and Tokar, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
