Trivia[]
- Army wasps are so incredibly dangerous that when even just one is spotted in the west (and the witness actually manages to escape with their lives to tell about it), the entire alliance is mobilized. The Council of the West summons the strongest crusaders of the Western Holy Church to place a holy barrier to contain the threat and the strongest elites of the west are mobilized to carefully deal with it. Even with all those precautions, it isn't unexpacted for many to lose their lives in the ensuing battle.
- These wasps also produce the famous honey Rimuru Tempest enjoys to the point of declaring that Apito's honey production is her most important asset, her value as a soldier coming second.
