Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Knowing his attack had failed, Richard curled his lip.

"What else is there besides food?"

The blond-haired man was clearly terrified by what he had just experienced, but he still answered in a trembling voice:

"...Reporting to Your Excellency! We also have insect eggs with third-tier potential, including 200 Earth Demon Insect eggs, 100 Storm, 100 Flame, and 100 Frost Demon Insect eggs... as well as various fusion material insects..."

They're all on the subsequent transport fleet... Once you agree to the deal, the transport fleet will deliver them..."

This is a very rich insect resource!

These five hundred eggs of the Papal Demon Worms alone are worth ten million Dios.

Of course, Richard didn't know the specific value of these insect eggs... it was blondie who told him...

Richard estimated in his mind:

If given ample time and sufficient resources... one could train 500 mature Tier 3 knights...

Of course, these are just thoughts!

Because it takes three years for the insect to grow from implantation to the early stage of the third tier without the use of catalytic potions.

Not to mention the risks of implanting insects! Even if the Church's demonic insects don't control humans. Unless, like Govi ​​did, they use dream insects to enhance the intelligence of the earth demonic insects...

However, when insects are implanted in the human body, there will naturally be a rejection reaction! Implanting 500 insect eggs will definitely result in some casualties, although the exact proportion is unknown.

Yellow Hair noticed that Richard wasn't paying attention to him.

He figured that this mysterious, black-haired nobleman must be interested in the resources he had offered.

But the blond-haired man didn't interrupt Richard's thoughts... He endured the soreness in his arm, raising his hand in a submissive posture...

Until Richard finally realized what was happening.

"Alright, you're very clever. Put your hands down. Go back and tell those old men that Miss Yekaterin doesn't need these non-monetary resources. Make a new list!"

Richard apparently rejected the deal on behalf of Yekaterin.

Although insect eggs are valuable resources, they cannot be converted into cash in a short period of time!

This is clearly a conspiracy by those old fogies of the August family!

Stormwind, a city in the Outer World specializing in mineral mining and processing, simply could not possibly train 500 Tier 3 mature knights independently!

If Yekaterin accepts these insect eggs, she will be bound to the August family of the inner world! Otherwise, it will be a huge sunk cost!

As for the food that was enough to feed 100,000 people in Stormwind for half a year.

The sound-transmitting worm in Richard's ear.

The reason Yekaterin refused has already been reported:

"...Those old bastards had no idea that Father had stockpiled three years' worth of food in Stormwind. They thought I was short of food. They even cut off the food supply lines between the Inner World and Stormwind to blackmail me..."

"Alright, baby, I know. I'll help you get revenge!" Hearing such an affectionate address, Yekalin stopped her nagging for a moment.

……

Huang Mao was puzzled that such a lucrative deal could be rejected.

Then suddenly I saw Richard pressing his ear and saying something nonsensical.

then……

Thump—!

Huang Mao ultimately couldn't escape the fate of being kicked off the city wall.

However, this time there were no Silverwing Devourers rescuing people from the water.

This super clever blond guy had also put on a life jacket beforehand and swam back to the blond guy group in a sorry state.

Richard hasn't ordered the city garrison to shoot or anything. At least for now, he can't afford to break off the facade of civility with the August family.

Moreover, he needed this group to bring the news of the fifth-tier insect beast back to the inner world.

Richard needs to find a way to create a crisis so that the Wall Guardians and the nobles of the inner world realize that a fifth-tier insectoid beast has truly appeared in the North.

Otherwise, even if the message is sent back, there's a high chance no one will care.

The super-smart blond guy was pulled ashore, but the other blond guys didn't laugh at him.

Clever blondie immediately took off his wet clothes and, trembling, announced the results to his brothers:

"Hiss... It's a shame that some black-haired scumbag has taken control of Stormwind. I didn't even get to see that bitch Yekaterin."

"Alright, I knew that bitch was hooking up with the royal family. There's no way we'll get the inheritance certificate... Let's go to Stone City. Let's get through this winter first, then figure out how to get back to the Inner World."

The blond-haired boys had been given a death order by their family: if they couldn't obtain the "certificate" to inherit their titles, they could forget about returning to the inner world.

In a sense, these blond-haired men are similar to Richard being exiled to the North to establish a fortress.

They were all exiled by their families.

After all, everyone knows that the nobles of the Kingdom of Kiel are very dissolute.

In a noble family, the names of newly added members fill several pages of the family tree every year. Therefore, being born into a noble family is not a particularly rare status; only those who inherit titles are.

The blond-haired men naturally understood this; they were being used as expendable resources by the family.

If there's one more, we can support it; if one dies, we won't feel bad.

However, their lives belong to themselves, and even if they are unilaterally abandoned by their families, they must find a way to survive in the northern snowfields.

Originally, the August family only contributed funds for the insect egg resources. The food for those six months was obtained by them using their own private assets.

If they fail to reach an agreement with Yekaterin, they can still rely on food in the northern snowfields to exchange for a chance to survive with other fortified cities.

but!

The old man from the August family had clearly thought of this!

Fifteen mature, third-tier blond-haired individuals were specifically dispatched. These third-tier blond-haired individuals had a different mission than the ordinary blond-haired individuals.

It would be best if the blond guy could persuade Yekaterin. If not, the third-tier blond guy will have to figure something out...

Because they are third-tier humans, their future is already limitless. They certainly don't want to stay in the northern snowfields forever!

As for what method?

It was a dignified negotiation, following the rules of the aristocratic political game...

They still resort to underhanded and despicable methods, using coercion and threats at every turn...

This is not something the elders of the August family need to worry about. They still value their reputation, after all, they're all old and have nothing left but their image.

Young people just need to implement the plan. The old fogies behind the scenes, pointing out the strategic direction, have much more to consider!

The ordinary blond-haired men have begun preparations to evacuate Stormwind and head to Stonehenge.

The third-tier blond-haired men wouldn't let them leave:

"Where do you think you're going? We haven't even finished our mission, where do you think you're going?"

The ordinary blond-haired guys are clearly not afraid of the third-tier blond-haired guys:

"Third tier so what? They're still consumables! You really intend to work for those old geezers? Those guys who stayed at the Stormwind city gates and got attacked by fourth-tier insectoid beasts! You heard from the survivors..."

These words clearly resonated with more of the blond-haired guy.

Even some of the third-tier blond-haired men showed hesitation in their eyes.

They also knew that there were 20 Stormriders inside Stormwind!
