The overwhelming swarms of flesh-and-blood insects came with the power of fire, causing most of the city of knights to be covered in shadow in an instant.

The knights in the city reacted very quickly and tried their best to protect the ordinary citizens from retreating. The city's defense measures were fully activated, and they shot at the rain of insects in the sky.

However, this method of attacking mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns is destined to be unable to suppress the insect rain. After all, when the city of knights was built, the imaginary enemies of the knights had always been various air strike fighters, and the smallest ones were war drones. When did they expect this?

But my enemies turned out to be a group of fist-sized bugs.

The bullets used to hit fighter jets are useless if they are used to hit insects as big as fists.

When the insect rain completely fell, not even one tenth of the people in the city had time to retreat. Seeing that it was too late to retreat, the flying knight troops gritted their teeth and rushed forward on their mounts.

The ground troops quickly set up defense lines and prepared to withstand this wave of bombings.

Although the people who rushed forward were brave, everyone knew in their hearts that they could not stop them.

After all, even the city walls were severely damaged by the explosion in an instant, let alone their flesh and blood bodies.

If they choose to escape or defend alone at this time, there is still some possibility of survival due to their strength. However, if they choose to fight head-on at this time, they will not have the slightest chance of survival except being the first to die in front of the people.

But they still went up, rushing forward without any reason, just because they were knights, that's all.

In front of the imperial city, the city gate has been opened at this moment, and the fourth prince is commanding the imperial guards to escort the people to retreat into the imperial city.

As the lair used to protect the king, the defensive power of this city-within-a-city is unquestionable, and it is definitely qualified to withstand the bombing of insect rain.

At the same time, the huge city gate is also one of the facilities that can quickly receive a large number of people. In just a few minutes, at least tens of thousands of people rushed in through the open gate.

Seeing the rain of insects getting closer and closer, but the people gathered in front of them could not see the end at all, the fourth prince gritted his teeth and suddenly turned his head and waved.

"Close the door! Close the door quickly! If you let bugs rush in, everyone will die!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd that was running desperately in this direction instantly fell into chaos. Even the knights of the guard who were directing the movement of the crowd fell into commotion.

The imperial guard officer who was standing on the city wall and commanding suddenly turned pale when he heard this.

"Your Majesty the Fourth Prince! But!"

"No more! It's too late! My royal brother and father are not here! I have the final say here! Close the door!"

"Then you!"

"Knight! I order you to close the door!"

"yes!"

With a harsh friction sound, the heavy door slowly closed, forcibly cutting off the connected crowd.

The people who escaped finally breathed a sigh of relief, but were locked out of the door directly. Especially those who were close at hand and watched the city gate close and their way of life completely cut off, were completely shocked.

Crying, cursing, yelling, all kinds of sounds merged into one in an instant.

At this moment, among the crowd of people who were crowding and trampling under the chaotic sound, a roar suddenly reached everyone.

"Why are you crying! What are you shouting for? What are you afraid of! This prince is still here to accompany you! I am not afraid! What are you afraid of!"

Among the crowd, the fourth prince did not follow the people to retreat into the imperial city. Instead, he chose to stand at the city gate and roared loudly, his voice unprecedentedly deafening.

And his roar quickly silenced the panicked crowd around him, and they all looked this way.

Feeling everyone's attention, the fourth prince, who used to be very shy and never liked to wear formal clothes, but now put on armor, straightened his helmet, pushed away the crowd around him, and picked up the unfortunate guy who had been knocked to the ground.

, spoke in a deep voice with a straight face.

"Don't worry, this prince will not escape. Since the royal family can't save you, then I will accompany you."

He turned around and looked at the energy barrier that had been opened behind him, and then looked around at the people who could not suppress their cries even though it was no longer chaotic. The fourth prince finally looked up at the rain of insects falling from the sky, and couldn't help but fall into

silence.

The people didn't understand what happened, or even why they suddenly fell into such a desperate situation.

They only knew that when the alarm suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, they and others were about to die, inexplicably.

Not to mention them, even the fourth prince at this time actually didn't know what was going on.

He even didn't know why his father, his three brothers who were good at fighting, and those powerful knights were all absent.

But he knows one thing, that is, he is a member of the royal family and a knight, so he cannot be weak, let alone retreat, and must take responsibility.

Protect the weak, not surrender to powerful enemies, protect the country, and defend glory. These are the knightly principles that all knights need to swear when they pick up the sword that symbolizes their status.

The fourth prince may not be strong, but he is definitely a qualified knight. Even his three brothers who have always looked down upon him must admit this.

The fourth prince has always abided by the code of chivalry.

Drawing his weapons, the fourth prince passed through the crowd that made way for him and arrived at the knights' line that had formed a defensive line.

Looking at the approaching fourth prince, a knight raised his shield and was on full alert. His eyes under his visor suddenly narrowed, and when he spoke, there was actually a hint of a smile in his tone.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, will we share life and death?"

"We live and die together, knight."

Pulling down his visor and raising his sword, the fourth prince's remaining fighting spirit burst out.

The knights who formed a defense line from all directions put up their shields and roared as a group.

"Life and death together!"

The moment the words fell, a rain of insects descended...

The sound of dense crashes was heard endlessly, and the first batch of bombs landed on the outermost residential buildings that had been emptied without any accident.

Continuous explosions directly razed the buildings to the ground, and in the fire that soared into the sky, more blood worms broke through the sea of ​​​​fire, arcing and hitting the ground above the defense line.

One after another of terrifying impact force, the knights were rolling and crawling, and the defense line was torn apart almost instantly.

The bloodworms that came out then crossed the defense line so fiercely and crashed into the crowd behind them, immediately causing a scream of surprise and pain.

But that was all, the bloodworms only brought impact, and there was no explosion or fire as expected.

The fourth prince was directly hit by more than a dozen insects, his helmet and weapons were knocked away, and he staggered up from the ground while rolling and crawling.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw countless exploding terrifying bugs, all of which were smashed into bloody water. As a result, both the knights in front and the crowd behind became like bloody people at this moment.

Even if there are occasionally some insects that are not crushed, they will struggle and quickly turn into blood and die after landing.

The fourth prince looked up at the buildings in the distance that had turned into ruins with a blank look on his face, and then looked at the ground here that had turned into a pool of blood, and at the nearly undamaged crowd.

As his eyes moved, he suddenly looked at the huge figure outside the city.

"Qin Yu..."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Before the fourth prince could finish muttering to himself, bursts of miserable screams suddenly sounded in his ears.

The fourth prince, who was startled, turned his head hurriedly, and saw that there were some knights and people in the crowd. The skin on their bodies had begun to rot and fall off at some point, and in the blink of an eye, the white bones were exposed.

Looking at the victim who was writhing on the ground in pain, the fourth prince was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.

"Don't get close to them! It's the plague! It's the virus from the Plague Knights! Don't get close to them!!!"

After all, the fourth prince's shout was too late. While he was speaking, some people already instinctively went over to help.

And when he finished speaking, the flesh and blood on the bodies of those who had helped in the past had gradually fallen off after coming into contact with the target.
