Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 249 - 201: A Change in the World’s Situation, the Insect People’s Surrender Faction Appears

"What’s going on? Why did it suddenly start raining blood?"

In the underground base of a Player squad responsible for behind-enemy-lines sabotage, several Players were currently standing under a rock wall, staring blankly at the sky.

Brother Cheng Takes Off: "What else could it be? Maybe this kind of rain is just a feature of this world."

Logical Genius: "A feature? I don’t think so. Didn’t you see the terrified expressions on the faces of those Insect People captives we caught?"

As soon as Logical Genius said this, the other Players immediately looked behind them at the Wasp People, who were tied up like rice dumplings.

And right now, all three of them were staring at the sky with horrified expressions.

"What’s going on?"

"Don’t tell me this is like acid rain? Is it extremely harmful to the Insect People?"

The group was confused.

However, Can’t See the Bright Moon immediately dispelled the Magic Barrier covering the mouths of the three Insect People.

Without even waiting for anyone to ask,

one of the Wasp People suddenly screamed in terror.

"A god... a god has fallen!!!"

"One of your civilization’s Deities must have killed our Deities!!!"

"This is the sign of a divine fall! A deity has perished!"

???

Hearing the Wasp Person’s terrified screams,

the Players looked at each other, their expressions filled with astonishment.

As Players, language barriers weren’t a problem, as the True Game provided a direct translation feature for the entire process.

"What the hell?"

"What are you babbling about? A god has fallen? Are you saying this happens whenever a god from your world dies?"

At the sight of Brother Cheng Takes Off’s gaze, the three Wasp People trembled all over.

It was for no other reason.

It was simply because Brother Cheng Takes Off’s Ability was too unique.

The Power to control the dead had never appeared in the Insectoid World. Even if it had, research in that area had always been considered a forbidden domain by the Deities.

And as for what they had seen before?

When Brother Cheng Takes Off and his team had conquered a small Wasp People town, he had directly used Undead Magic to turn one Wasp Person after another into skeletons.

What’s more, the massive number of Undead Skeletons that followed continued to kill, and the scene was simply horrifying!

This was precisely why the three Insect People felt an unconscious terror upon seeing Brother Cheng Takes Off.

"Yes, M-My Lord."

"In our Taven Empire, it’s recorded in both our Empire’s textbooks and historical documents."

"A thousand years ago, a similar scene occurred when the God of Taven fell."

"The God of Taven unfortunately perished while exploring the Star Realm, and only after that did the New Gods ascend to their divine thrones."

"And to commemorate his great contributions in exploring the Star Realm, the hundred Mortal Races of our world were finally unified under the strong promotion of the four Majesties."

"Furthermore, the Mortal Race of the God of Taven became the Master of the Empire for our civilization, and also the noble Emperor Race."

As soon as the Wasp Person finished speaking,

the surrounding Players all showed astonished expressions.

"Whoa, your civilization’s history is pretty interesting."

"So, you know a deity has fallen just by seeing the blood rain?"

Can’t See the Bright Moon suddenly smiled and said as much.

"Y-Yes."

"But, the situation this time is slightly different from the records,"

the Wasp Person said, trembling with fear.

"How is it different?" Logical Genius asked again.

"Um, My Lord, the difference in this scene is very obvious."

"According to the records, when the God of Taven fell, the blood rain wasn’t heavy. It was like a continuous drizzle, and it only rained for three days within the Central Continent."

"But this time, this blood rain is too heavy! I’m sure you lords have seen it too. This rain is like a waterfall; the entire world seems to have been dyed red."

"Therefore, I... I suspect that it’s very likely more than one deity has fallen this time,"

the Wasp Person said, trying his best to keep his tone calm.

Hearing the Wasp Person’s words, Brother Cheng Takes Off suddenly said:

"The Deities just died like that?"

"Damn, don’t tell me Brother Night Owl did this?"

Logical Genius: "If this is true, then besides the Chief, I really can’t think of anyone else."

Can’t See the Bright Moon: "Looks like the Chief was really swift and decisive this time."

"Does this mean our war is about to end?"

"End my ass. You should all know about the Chief’s promotion in the real world. The entire Human Alliance is broadcasting the footage of his god-like, saint-like ascension."

"Given the Chief’s current state, I think he’s a Demigod, if not a full deity. He probably can’t enter the mortal realm anymore, so the final Mortal War will still depend on us Players and the Human Alliance Warriors from Blue Star."

"We’re screwed! With just the Power of us Players, or even the Power of Blue Star, how can we possibly defeat all the known High Tier and Saint Tier beings the Insect People have!"

"The only good news now is that the Star Gate is closed. Even if the Chief reopens it, with him protecting Blue Star, it’ll be fine. But conquering this world definitely won’t be that simple for us."

The group chattered back and forth, completely ignoring the Wasp People’s presence.

Brother Cheng Takes Off: "Why think so much? Big Bro already took care of the biggest threat for us. As for the Mortal War, with us Players here to slowly wear them down, it’s just a matter of time. After all, the guys in this world can’t resurrect."

Logical Genius: "That’s true. And if this war lasts longer, our chances of advancing to a higher Tier will be greater. In my opinion, a longer war would actually be a good thing for us Players."

Can’t See the Bright Moon: "Everything’s a double-edged sword. The Insect People aren’t idiots. Once they react and start sending High Tier or even Saint Tier beings to hunt us down every time, I’m afraid we’ll be forced out of the game early before we’ve earned enough points to resurrect."

"..."

However, just as the group was discussing this,

they had no idea that their location had already been exposed long ago.

In fact, it wasn’t just them; the whereabouts of many Players in this world had long been exposed.

Except for the heavy casualties suffered by the behind-enemy-lines Players at the very beginning, the thirty thousand Players had rarely suffered any losses in the nearly twenty days since.

And all of this was naturally because the Insect Deities and the Insect Race Empire had been going easy on them.

After all, with Lince acting as a deterrent in the mortal realm back then, both the Insect Deities and the mortal Insect Race Empire had prepared for the worst.

That is, becoming a vassal civilization of Blue Star.

Therefore, they had been deliberately going easy on the Players’ sabotage activities.

And although this leniency led to a great crisis after the Insect Deities changed their minds, that crisis had already been resolved by Lince.

So, with the Players’ locations now confirmed, had it actually turned into a good thing?

Because.

Just outside the hiding place of the spearhead squad formed by Can’t See the Bright Moon, Brother Cheng Takes Off, and a few others.

The next moment, in the instant they were discussing the situation,

they, along with six other Players who were not from the Chosen Group, were instantly surrounded by three terrifying figures.

Seeing the three terrifying Insect People figures that had suddenly appeared around them,

the nine Players were instantly stunned.

"Fuck? Did we just get caught?"

Saint Tier!!!

That’s right, three Saint Tier Insect People had surrounded the nine of them.

At this moment, none of the nine Players even thought about escaping, let alone resisting.

’There’s no way out of this. We definitely can’t win a fight.’

’All we can do is wait to die, return, and start over.’

"To be honest, I’m a little surprised it took them this long to catch us."

Can’t See the Bright Moon said calmly, looking at the three Insect People who had arrived under the blood rain.

At this point, it was no longer a question of whether the nine Players could resist.

It was that they couldn’t even move a muscle.

Among the three Saint Tier Insect People, one had clearly used some kind of restrictive Magic to immobilize them.

Although during this period, both Logical Genius and Brother Cheng Takes Off had successfully advanced to Tier Seven,

the gap between Tier Seven and Saint Tier was far from small.

Resistance was absolutely impossible.

"HAHA!!! They’re here!!! The lords of our Empire are finally here to save us!"

In contrast to the mostly helpless expressions on the faces of the nine Players, the three captured Wasp People were overjoyed.

"My three lords, we’re over here!!!"

"..."

However, when the three Saint Tier Insect People actually arrived in front of the nine Players, they didn’t even glance at the three captured Insect People.

Instead, one of the Saint Tier Insect People bowed respectfully to Can’t See the Bright Moon and his group.

"Honored guests, my sincerest apologies."

"To prevent you from misjudging the situation and attempting to escape or commit suicide, we had no choice but to take these temporary measures."

"Now, please rest assured, honored guests. We will now remove the magical restriction placed upon you."

Hearing the Saint Tier Insect Person’s words, Can’t See the Bright Moon and the others looked at each other in stunned silence.

But before they could even react,

the binding force on their bodies was completely gone.

Logical Genius and Can’t See the Bright Moon exchanged a look. Then, Can’t See the Bright Moon looked thoughtfully at the Saint Tier Insect Person and spoke:

"If I’m not mistaken, are you three Excellencies planning to invite us somewhere for a talk?"

The leading Saint Tier Insect Person nodded amiably:

"As expected of the best among the Exotic Star Players. It seems our guest has guessed something?"

The Insect Person answered with a question.

Can’t See the Bright Moon was slightly taken aback by this, but he quickly relaxed.

"There’s no shortage of intelligent people in any world. I imagine this holds true even if our Races are different."

"It seems that’s indeed the case. Since you all know about Players, I suppose there are many things our two sides can discuss properly."

"Of course, I wouldn’t dare to speak for all Players, let alone our entire civilization, on certain important matters. I’m sure Your Excellency is aware of this?"

The Saint Tier Insect Person nodded slightly.

"Rest assured. Just as you know the general situation of our world, our knowledge of your esteemed world is by no means less than yours."

"We will not make things difficult for you on this matter. The noble existence we represent simply wishes for you to pass on a message."

"Of course, this is clearly not a suitable place to receive our honored guests. If you don’t mind, would you be willing to accompany us to the Imperial Capital?"

’To the Imperial Capital?’

The players were stunned.

But at the same time, they were marveling inwardly.

’The fall of the Deities really has a huge impact.’

’It seems the Insect Race Empire is already looking for a way out, and they’re acting incredibly fast.’

’But on second thought, it’s only natural. After all, they had the misfortune of running into a ’monster’ like the Chief!’

Thus, the group naturally had no reason to refuse.

Even if there was some conspiracy involved, the players, who believed they could resurrect, were not afraid.

And so, under the gazes of the three forgotten Wasp People, the nine Players, led by the three Saint Tier Insect People, transformed into streaks of light and departed from the area.

Leaving behind the three Wasp People, still tied up, with looks of innocence and bewilderment on their faces.
