Ivan sensed a change in the situation and immediately jumped down, adeptly stepping on other trunks on his way down.
But he had already stirred up a 'hornets' nest'.
'Bang, bang, bang.'
For some insect communities, the insect queen is their sore point. Once the queen was captured, wood silkworms communicated the news to others in secret, and the typically clumsy wood silkworms suddenly revealed their fierce side.
They transformed into moths en masse, attacking the enemy like missiles upon sighting them, while Ivan raised his shield, the round shield echoing with a barrage of impacts.
The commotion grew louder.
Ivan successfully landed on the ground, with the moths still relentlessly pursuing him as their numbers grew.
Around him, other mulberry trees also began to stir.
"Don't panic, my lord, we're coming to support you."
Seeing their lord facing unusual danger, Leider and a few others stepped forward to help fend off the attackers.
