Law of the Swarm

Chapter 246 Canonization

Shava's chrysalis came here bouncing, and System had some impressions, as if Wendy used the power of the wind to put it next to him.

When the other ants came afterward, System didn't notice much because he was concentrating on thinking.

But now, System suddenly felt something special from these guarding ant knights.

System felt very familiar with these things.

System seemed to hear an inaudible hum, the voice of the will of the world that he had heard many times.

Unlike in the past, System felt that the voice from the will of the world was not as vague as before, but rather clear to him.

System quickly realized that the reason for the voice of the world was the connection between his title of "Insect Lord" and these ant knights.

It has been a long time since System got the title of "Insect Lord", but System didn't do too much research before, or he didn't understand it. Later, he gradually forgot this title, even though When I think about it occasionally, I don't pay too much attention to the title "Insect Lord".

But now, System felt the strange connection between the title "Insect Lord" and these ant knights.

But this feeling is completely different from the title of "Bug Plague Legion".

Although his titles "Insect Lord" and "Insect Plague Army Commander" are similar in nature and have a certain relationship, they are actually two completely unrelated parallel lines and have no inevitable influence.

System looked at Wendy, except for Shava's chrysalis, it was Wendy who gave System the clearest feeling.

System also discovered that as Wendy touched the tentacles of other ant knights with her tentacles, the connection between the ant knight touched by Wendy's tentacles and the title "Insect Lord" would become stronger. Closely, the buzzing sound in his ear became more and more clear.

It seems that the source of the reaction to the title of "Insect Lord" is Wendy.

System looked at the worker ant knight Wendy, and asked suspiciously, "Wendy, what are you doing to it?"

"My lord, are you awake? Did you just fall asleep?" After receiving System's spiritual message, Wendy quickly leaned against System as she did these days, looking very intimate, Then he continued to System: "I didn't do anything, I just reminded them of what a knight is."

"knight?"

System sent out a puzzled spiritual message. In the past six months since Shava's pupation, the number of pupated abyss ants has gradually increased. Due to the relationship between intelligence, the proportion of ant knights has dropped a lot.

Without Shava's guidance, these ant knights rarely made actions that imitated human knights.

"Well, knight!"

While System was thinking, Wendy, the worker ant knight, answered System's question with certainty.

As if she had rehearsed it many times, Wendy suddenly knelt down on one knee, and at the same time put the double blades on her forelimbs in a strange shape, and solemnly swore an oath to System: "I, Wendy, swear allegiance to the king, and I will pledge allegiance to the king. Loyalty, stay close!"

Wendy, like Shava in the past, seemed to like the King Knight game very much, and at the same time expressed great anticipation.

System shook his head helplessly, stretched out his tentacles to touch Wendy's head, and sent a spiritual message: "I accept your allegiance, knight."

System knew that if he didn't do this, Wendy would be like Sawa, unable to get up from the ground.

But looking at Wendy who was getting up gradually, System suddenly thought of something.

"Knight...king, lord."

System did not continue to look at Wendy, but looked at the dozen or so ant knights guarding beside him. The buzzing sound in his ears became clearer, as if the voice of the world was asking for his opinion.

System clicked on his [Tools Menu] again, and at the same time checked his title "Insect Lord".

According to the description in the title, the "Insect Lord" has the same ability as the "Insect Plague Legion".

The secondary effect of "Insect Lord" is to provide his insect people with the two abilities of [high morale] and [abnormal tolerance].

At first, System thought that the effect of this title was too weak, so it was difficult to find out, but after such a long time, System has gradually discovered that this title has never produced any effect.

……

System watched the dozen or so ant knights beside him, listened carefully to the faint and clear voice of the world, and recalled the feeling he had when he obtained the "Winter Legion" and "Bug Plague Legion".

System seemed to understand something, and the voice next to his ear became more real and clear.

— Give them a name.

"So that's how it is..."

System looked at the ant knights around him, and said, "Then it's called 'Insect Knights'."

There was no normal sound from System's mouth, but an inaudible humming sound.

With the appearance of this buzzing sound, the expressions of the dozen or so ants, including Wendy, suddenly became a little dull.

System knew that these dozen or so ants were accepting the voice of the world, and they were awarded the canonized title "Insect Knights" with the title "Insect Lord".

It's like the "Winter Legion" that Aura gave him and Shava, and the "Bug Legion" that Master Ulysses gave him.

But unlike the existence of those two fantasy ranks, System has great limitations on the use of titles, and cannot force other beings to be granted titles.

Even most of his ant people are not good. The title of "Insect Knights" can only be conferred on ants who understand the concepts of lord, king, and knight, that is, the part of ants who become ant knights.

As for the ordinary large ants that pupate twice, it is difficult to obtain this title.

Ants are a unique social insect with very strong obedience and discipline. Therefore, although most ants know that System is king, they don't know the meaning of king. They just think that System is similar to an ant. After such existence.

Being able to accept System's command and obey System's orders is also the obedience inherent in worker ants and soldier ants.

……

A few minutes later, Shava's chrysalis emitted a flash of white light, and it became calm again, entering a state of deep sleep again.

Besides Shava, Wendy was the one who woke up from the dazed state the fastest.

Wendy didn't seem to have changed much, but the combat power displayed by System [Probe Analysis] changed from 80-160 to 90-180, and the combat power increased by about one-eighth.

It seems that the two abilities [high fighting spirit] and [abnormal endurance] have successfully appeared on the ant knight.

At the same time, System could also feel that Wendy had a special connection with these ant knights who had been conferred titles.

And System discovered that, as the "Insect Lord" himself, he also has an extra power that can be used...
