Mages aside, the wide array of magic devices, although Hudson had no idea how to use them, his intuition told him that these inconspicuous gadgets were surely lethal to the locusts.
Besides physical means, there were also hastily made locust-repelling potions by alchemists.
They worked similarly to insecticides, quite effective against small groups of locusts. However, once faced with the locust army commanded by an Insect King, the potions instantly lost their effectiveness.
In this regard, Hudson was perplexed. It was as if the Insect King possessed a unique talent. Locusts driven by it not only became more resistant to potions but also gained tremendous combat strength.
If an Insect Emperor appeared, the situation would be even worse. It was said that under the command of an Insect Emperor, these herbivorous locusts would start devouring meat.
Once an Insect Emperor was born, wherever it trod left no trace of humans or livestock. Few beings could survive its passage.
