Chapter 1810: Chapter 549 Worm Disaster Breakout_3

He then realized that he had fallen into a trap.

When did it happen?

He had always been very cautious, how could he have been caught?

A series of doubts flashed through his mind.

Although he no longer cared about his dwindling life, the terror of being secretly controlled still shook him to his core.

This method was beyond what he understood any human could accomplish.

Before he could think further, Leonard Churchill said: "The one who set up this method is an ancient Outer God, one of the culprits behind the collapse of the Taren Empire. Now the air and water in Sinless City are filled with larvae, and the whole city is probably contaminated."

"Ah... Outer God?"

Lenny’s pupils shook violently when he heard this, suddenly realizing the severity of the situation.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that he couldn’t digest it all at once.

He was stunned for a moment, but then he abruptly woke up: "Are you saying, the people of Orlan Royal Court plan to kill everyone in Sinless City?"

"Hmm."

Leonard Churchill nodded.

At this moment, he formally introduced: "These two are my friends."

"This is the direct descendant of the Augustus Imperial Clan, the current Taren King, Emperor Camilla."

"This is the current High Priest Tracy Garcia."

Leonard Churchill and the two women were friends, but when outsiders were present, it needed to be formal.

It wasn’t that he was intentionally acting, but that Griffith’s group of Taren loyalists called them that.

Camilla possessed the Royal Destiny, which involved not only herself but also everyone in the Royal Enfeoffment Secret Book and the fragmented fortune of the Taren Empire that continued.

Regardless of bloodline or inheritance, she was the legitimate Augustus King of this generation.

"This...!!!"

Upon hearing this, Lenny’s eyes widened as he instantly realized why the two women seemed familiar.

Wasn’t this the emblematic silver hair of the Augustus Clan, and the High Priest successor who looked almost identical to the one in his memory?

Without hesitation, he half-knelt on the ground and performed a knight’s salute with utmost solemnity: "Your Majesty!"

As a direct descendant of the Four King’s Knights’ Family, Lenny knew that only the Augustus bloodline recognized by the High Priest was the legitimate royalty.

He had previously noticed that the White Family had replaced the Garcia Family as the High Priest of Orlan, knowing immediately that the new King Arthur’s ascension was dubious.

But he had been exiled and had no power to concern himself with the changes in the Royal Court.

Now, seeing the two people in front of him, he instantly understood everything!

Camilla, looking at him bowing deeply, nodded: "No need to be so formal. You do not owe allegiance to me, so there’s no need for such a salute."

Leonard Churchill glanced at her; it seemed Camilla had now recognized her identity.

With a simple, understated sentence, she already exhibited the unassuming authority of an upper ranker.

Lenny, hearing this, was momentarily speechless, "Your Grace..."

He wanted to explain something, but as a defeated candidate for the Four King’s Knights, he didn’t deem himself qualified to claim loyalty to the Playgod Clan, not even qualified to offer allegiance.

After a long pause, he eventually uttered: "Your Grace, I swear eternal loyalty to the great Augustus!"

Camilla just nodded slightly without saying anything.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised by Lenny’s reaction; these royal subjects had an extraordinary sense of recognition and belonging to the Augustus Imperial Clan.

Just like those Taren loyalists in the Rebel Dragon Army, it was not only a tradition passed down from generation to generation in their families but also a divine contract tightly intertwined with their bloodline and family fate.

Similar to the contract between Tracy Garcia and the Nether Peacock clan, they shared both glory and downfall.

However, given the current bizarre situation, there was no time for more explanation.

Camilla never intended to make anyone bow down to her because of her identity.

Lenny also did not think he was qualified to show loyalty to the young emperor in front of him.

....

Lenny instantly understood that his brother Leonard Churchill was on Emperor Camilla’s side?

Suddenly, the relationship felt closer.

If there was anything in this world still worth Lenny risking his life for, besides his family, it was the loyalty that his family had held for the kingship for countless years.

While they were conversing, an insect plague broke out in the Flood Gang.

One moment, the gamblers and drinkers had the doors tightly shut, peering out the windows at the terrifying chaos on the streets.

The next moment, without any warning, someone suddenly exploded, releasing countless bizarre worms from the bloody remains.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang..."

The peculiar sounds of flesh and blood bursting were like a dense cascade of gunfire, echoing through the Red Building.

The guests’ panic, accompanied by the screams of the women, increased as the worms multiplied.

Worms burst forth from the corpses, infecting others, and in no time, the entire Red Building resembled a scene from hell.

[Void Worm], [Meat Worm], [Explosive Insect], [Sharp Screaming Worm], [Acid Corrosion Flying Insect], [Mind Control Worm], [Face-hugging Insect]...

The reason the Insect Race was so feared had a lot to do with their terrifying reproductive capabilities.

Parasite eggs within the body cause no noticeable symptoms, but when they mature and break out, it’s the host’s doom.

Just like how human armies have various branches, the Insect Race also has different types of worms with specific functions.

Parasitism, corrosion, devouring, tankers...

As countless hosts died, various Insect Race legions quickly formed.

Leonard Churchill had seen many types of worms and knew their dangers.

Like those [Void Mantises], although not high in tier, their ability to manipulate void sickles could easily kill Third or Fourth Tier card masters.

And the [Mind Control Worm] that could control mental power;

[Acid Corrosion Worm] that could erode high-tier magic patterns on armor;

Sewers filled with [Meat Worms], which could split their bodies infinitely and become immortal...

A small number of worms was not a big problem for a card master.

But the problem was, there were too many of them.

Too many to count.

Even in the Red Building, just in front of them, they saw millions of worms.

Even with the current strength of Leonard Churchill and his two companions, they felt their scalps tingle.

Not to mention that this scene was now playing out all over Sinless City.

....

Knowing the methods of ’Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’, Leonard Churchill and his companions weren’t too surprised by what they saw, and their silence masked their inner turmoil.

But Lenny, on the other hand, was so shocked by the sight of the rampaging Insect Race that he was speechless.

He finally understood why his old friend had warned him to leave Sinless City, it was all because of this!

At the same time, he felt an unspeakable absurdity; millions of residents, to be slaughtered just like that?

Before he could ponder further, Leonard Churchill suddenly spoke: "Lenny, your grandson has already been picked up by someone. I’ll be going over soon. If you want him to return to the Orlan Royal Family, I will let him go. If you have other plans, I can help you get him away from those people..."

Leonard Churchill had released Ray before, not without preparation.

Now that Orlan Royal Court had taken action, apart from rescuing the captured group, there were also the Titan Mech in the warehouse.

Leonard Churchill would not let it go.

That guy had the mark of the Iris Legion, and he had also placed a mark on him.

What Leonard Churchill had promised Lenny was, from beginning to end, only to guarantee the boy’s safety.

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Lenny’s expression showed a brief moment of struggle before he said: "I want to bring him back."

If it were before, he might have hesitated.

Even knowing Ray was his grandson, he hadn’t thought of acknowledging him. After all, the status of one of the Four King’s Knights was far more important than that of an old man crawling through sewers.

However, after seeing the legitimate new Augustus King before him, he no longer hesitated even for a moment.

It wasn’t just his grandson; he even felt that his old friends and those Four King’s Knights who had pledged allegiance to the Fake King were all wrong!

"Hmm."

Leonard Churchill nodded after hearing this, without saying more.

He turned to look at Camilla and Tracy Garcia, "I leave this place to you two."

He was going over to intercept the people from Augustus, while here needed someone to hold them back.

This was the plan they had set beforehand.

Camilla and Tracy Garcia nodded, and Leonard Churchill turned and left the room with Lenny.

As they saw them leave the room.

Camilla frowned, remembering Leonard Churchill’s unusual mood earlier.

On the side, Tracy Garcia guessed what her companion was thinking and murmured, "Leonard Churchill must have touched the secrets of the ’Law of Destiny’, that’s why he’s like this..."
