C507 – In the City
Lo Ya brought Lo Xin along with her, followed by a Nourishing Insect and three Sickle Insect disguised as a person. Lo Ya herself had transformed into an ordinary person through the illusion (Lo Xin hid in her luggage).
They ran all the way and not long after, they arrived in front of the city. Sure enough, a few guards saw three terrifying monsters and were completely shocked.
“Stop… you, what’s behind you?”
Lo Ya smiled and said, “These are the pets I brought from my hometown. Although they are very big and fierce, they are actually not dangerous at all. If you don’t believe me, you can touch them.”
“Really, really?”
The other party saw Lo Ya’s hand lightly patting the Sickle Insect and this insect’s docile appearance and could not help but have the idea of touching it.
But considering that some dangerous beasts might not be controlled by humans, he still shook his head and said, “Forget it, forget it. You guys go into the city.”
Now that business was developed and the war had stopped, many cities were open to the public. Unlike in the past, people had to carefully search their bodies before they could enter. The guards were generally unwilling to bring any danger to themselves. After all, their mission was just to stand guard. To prevent criminals from appearing. Lo Ya was not a criminal, so it was fine for her to go in.
After entering the city, she found that the area inside was not ordinary.
The city wall was around 900 square kilometers, which was similar to an irregular circle. Many of the walls were of different heights, but even the shortest part… It was at least 10 meters tall. There was a large river in the middle, and there were fields and manors in the city. There were also small bridges and flowing water. The architectural style was more classical.
Groups of 2-8 patrol troops always passed through the city. They seemed to be soldiers who specialized in managing the city’s law and order.
Lo Ya also saw a building similar to a church.
Pffft!
Lo Xin’s head popped out from the luggage as she eagerly observed her surroundings.
“Ah ~”
The cute little girl opened her mouth wide and waited for Lo Ya to feed her something delicious.
“This is for you to eat.”
Lo Ya took out a hamburger like food from her inventory and tore it open to feed Lo Xin.
“Awooo… Gulp.”
After she swallowed it, Lo Xin opened her mouth again.
“You can eat it yourself. Don’t be so lazy.”
Lo Ya touched her head. Perhaps it was because this little thing was her biological child and was clearly already an adult, Lo Ya did not mind her acting cute and acting spoiled towards her.
In any case, from Little Insect Girl growing into a big Insect Girl, the main thing that changed was her body size.
They came to a place to stay and temporarily stayed there.
Lo Ya wriggled to the front of the mirror, rubbed her fluffy long hair and began to think about Buggy.
Because it was a worm, Lo Ya did not pay much attention to her appearance for a long time. At this time, she looked like a girl with very white skin, long black hair, and delicate facial features.
Her arms were very slender, and her entire body was snow white like a program.
If it was a human’s aesthetic sense, it would be very perfect.
Lo Xin’s appearance was a bit more silly and cute compared to her appearance, or it would be better to describe her as a silly girl.
She was currently eating on top of the bed. The huge bed and the small body of Insect Girl formed a sharp contrast. You can imagine a worm wriggling on the sofa. Actually, it was similar to this.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of the room was knocked open from a distance.
Lo Xin raised her head in confusion, and there was a bloody piece of meat in her mouth.
A few soldiers who looked like soldiers barged in. Once they entered the door, they shouted towards the inside, “It is you who breed dangerous beasts… Right?”
The voice stopped when it saw Lo Xin eating.
It was indeed dangerous.
She actually ate bloody raw meat. In this era where cooked meat was the main food source, there was actually such a terrifying existence.
Lo Ya didn’t know what Insect Girl’s appearance was like in the eyes of this kind of creature.
But from this expression, it seemed that she was even more stupefied.
“What is this thing?”
The eyes of the three Sickle Insect lying in the corner shone with a scarlet light as they raised their sickles.
“Yes… I’m sorry to disturb you.”
Bang!
The door closed again. Unfortunately, it was broken, so it fell to the ground with a thud.
This group of Heartmen soldiers did not think too much and directly ran away.
Insect Girl looked harmless, but the Sickle Insect’s huge appearance was too terrifying.
“Very sensible, but… it’s useless?”
Lo Ya helplessly whistled and let the bugs take Lo Xin and herself away from here.
When they ran to the street, they found a large group of soldiers lining up in a line and passing by in front of them, heading out of the city.
The people on the roadside pointed and pointed.
“We’re going out again. Hopefully, we’ll be able to return safely this time.”
“Following the Yalin Empire shouldn’t be too dangerous. My son is still in the army.”
Lo Ya had already used an illusion to prevent others from seeing the Sickle Insect and Lo Xin, so it didn’t cause any panic.
“Brain Insect, scan the number of soldiers.”
In less than 10 seconds, Lo Ya’s head was stuffed with numbers.
“10,000 people going out to battle? The scale of this city has already reached the scale of a large ancient city, right?”
At the same time, 120 kilometers away, another city also had troops going out to war. The number even exceeded here.
They made 5000 people into an army. When a few infantry legions went out, they would also be paired with a few ballista, catapults, chariots, and other types of troops, coordinating with each other in battle.
However, the Pigeon Membrane troops were at most auxiliary troops to help the main force of the Yalin Empire fight. Their true combat strength was far from that of that country.
“Brain Insect, I want to see the capital of the Yalin Empire, Emm… We are aliens, right? With the identity of a god, I want the king of this Empire to provide important information.”
Because Lo Ya wanted to discover secrets related to Earth, she did not want to bring too much disaster to the indigenous people of this world.
“As expected, this is the result of grasping too much of the Strength. Sometimes, a thought can decide the life and death of a civilization.”
She somewhat understood why ancient emperors tended to be brutal after grasping the power of life and death. Power was this kind of thing that could make all creatures chase after it. She didn’t care about the final outcome, she only cared about whether she was better than others.
In each individual’s heart, there is a will to harm others and benefit themselves.
Civilization, at least, all individuals had to understand what they didn’t want to do. It was to compromise time and time again, to become everyone’s good. It was to avoid killing, bear the pain together, and share the happiness together. It was wisdom and patience that allowed them to defeat ignorance and barbarism in the end.
“It seems to be like this.”
For some reason, Lo Ya began to be pessimistic about the so-called union of species.
Without joining all the civilizations in the Insect Girl Clan, even if they were ruled by the swarm, there would still be a day when they would resist.
The struggle for power between living creatures had never disappeared. Could bullying the weak really be completely cut off?
