Chapter 225
The strategy was straightforward: dig deep trenches to the left and right of the insects' path, and then light large fires inside them.
Like moths, these insects are drawn to light, meaning they will fly straight into the flames upon seeing them. This tactic would destroy them while forcing the survivors to scatter in different directions.
The city lord and his orcs spent the entire day digging the trenches and setting the fires. As darkness fell, the swarm finally arrived.
They chose not to stay close to the danger, so the city lord and his men retreated after finishing their setup. Xie, however, flew back alone to monitor the situation.
Xie returned a short time later with a smile, reporting, "Those insects shouldn't be able to cross. Even if a few manage to pass, their numbers will be too small to cause any real harm."
Euphoria felt a wave of relief, knowing the danger was finally fading.
