Chapter 286: What Justifies a Knight’s Battle? (9)
If a giant white termite, weighing over 60 kilograms and charging at a speed of 50 km/h, were coming straight at you—what would you do?
Now imagine not one, but 30,000 of these monstrous termites, each with rows of serrated shark-like teeth.
Normally, the answer would be obvious—
"Run like hell."
Their exoskeletons were already tough enough, but add sheer size and speed into the mix—an average speed of 50 km/h, with a top speed of 70 km/h—and it was clear:
Any human made of flesh and bone would be shredded to pieces upon impact.
Even a fortress wall wouldn’t survive their charge.
A city? Gone in half a day.
Most people would be shaking in terror, dizzy from the sheer scale of the nightmare descending upon them.
But—
"Not a bad number today."
"The locust swarm last time was worse."
