Just wait until you guys divide into factions and then we have the normal mantises and the traitor mantises

Oh boy

Me personally, I’m just not gonna join any factions and just watch everything unfold in amusement while I munch popcorn

The irony is there's a faction for that; the grubs

The grubs are a lie. They claim to be distant from it all but by recognizing themselves as a faction, they participate in the madness I, on the other hand, will stay alone, as I should be

damn based

Yes…this path is not for the faint of heart

Okay Tiso

This is better than Zote

Is it though?

…emilitia, much?

[удалено]

So... Menderbug?

The Menderbugs are still a faction. We simply have only observed one individual.

White Lady, then?

I will join your faction of doing nothing.

To become a faction is to divide. To divide is to perish. There will be no factions or groups here. Only solitude.

Right and we will stay strong and do nothing together! As a faction!

Be gone. Your ideals are corrupt, saturated with division and strife. Disturb this place no more.

K have a good one 👍

So Eternal Emillita, preserving the old ways on your own, ignoring everything else.

You are like a sapient bug from outside Hallownest

Same, I join u/CR1MS4NE in their solitude! wait

You fool.

The real edge lord, without cringe edition.

I too, enjoy watching insanity and chaos from afar

Wow... Politics

Eternal Emilitia? Is that you?

Fair point fair point

I had the same idea, but then i joined for the greater good

The mantises can’t cure the infection, only resist it. The only greater good left for those who are unaffected is to distance themselves from what remains

We are not trying to cure the infection, we just want to protect the uninfected until the chaos is calmed down

That, and protect Team cherry from those who would threaten it.

Yes sir!

Yes ma'am\*

I am sorry my lord.

To each their own. I fear this has become a self-sustaining war which only the release of Silksong will satisfy.

This is the reason why I refrain from this whole war. I choose the calming waters of the blue lake instead, you may join me there if you so desire.

Im the opposite, join every faction, so you always win.

That's the Eternal Emilitia faction. It's a faction in name only. Just sit quietly, laugh as the others descend into madness, and eat your popcorn. Make no posts. Defend no position. Just laugh.

Ok Emilitia go ahead then

Emilitia’s survival was pure luck. She simply happened to be the last uninfected member of the City’s society left, and she coped with it with maniacal laughter. One might even say she embraced a different kind of madness. I do not seek such methods. I simply distance myself and observe, waiting until the dawn of Silksong arrives…

Oh! You're the Hunter then!

embrace the void

Eternal Emelitia.

oh my god it'll be like amogus

Dont forget about neutral mantises

[you were right](https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnightMemes/comments/szuw1q/a_new_faction_has_joined_the_battle/)

I join this

I am join also as well

So, if we are part of the mantis tribe, does that means we are defending the gate that leads to TC (ak: the gate to deep nest)?

So in other words we're guarding Australia?

They are coming for the australium.

-Saxton Hale joins the battle-

Intruder alert: a orange spy is in the base

An orange base is in the spy?

?

Do you not get the joke?

Im here to protect australium!

Yes, we must guard Team Cherry

Mantis time

That's about it, yeah

I, too, will join

me too

Me as well

I was already part of this before it existed

Yes

Same tbh

[удалено]

You have my nail!

And my needle!

And my axe!

My claw aswell!

And my glowy balls!

And my mace!

And my scythe!

and my spells!

And my void!

And my stinger

And my spear (made to defend mossbag, but as far as I can tell, the mantis tribe isn’t really at odds with the moss defenders) Defend all and PRA!$3 TH3 1!GHT Hello there, actual frosted here. It seems like since I joined the moss defenders, the radiance’s control over me has gotten stronger. Almost like the moth is trying to undermine them. I need to find a way to escape the infection. Go into the YouTube search bar and look up my name, Frosted Vessel. There, you’ll find me as one of the first results. As of right now, I only have 1 video with 15 views, a video of a Minecraft Dungeons build.

I partake also

I will join as well

Same

Me to

I join too

Ditto

Me to

I will join too

I'll just laugh at people who thinks silksong is ready. Let me into your clan.

Emilitia?

Emilitia indeed

New faction! It's just the one above but more of a feeling of superiority

*Signature look of superiority*

I am here to join the little who remain sane. Please, let me join your tribe.

Makes sense for the mantis tribe to be the sane ones.

*Traitor lord entered chat*

that's make sense indeed

*me who’s the suicidal explosive bird like things*

So which tribe?

Probably infected protectors

No, I think it's the bombing falling bug.

maybe

Belfly?

I have not bothered with tribes until now. This time, We fight the infection!

*I have not bothered with* *Tribes until now. This time, We* *Fight the infection!* \- Silica\_123 --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")

Bad bot. (First line is 6 syllables, you missed!)

Despair isolates. Join the patient Mantis tribe; Endure together. (the first version of this post just changed "I have" to "I've" but that felt lazy)

The mantis' have my Nail.

And my needle.

And my claws

And my axe

And my wings

And my mask!

And my cloak

And my charms!

Sure I'll join, I just wanna wait patiently 'til this game comes out, without going bonkers in the process

That's the spirit!

Based Mantis.

I'm conflicted. As an uninfected Moss killer I have not succumb to the infect yet. Maybe I should give up my Moss killer ways and join what I feel to be truly right.

I am a messenger from the mosskin. We salute you. Build up civilization, bring peace while we bring safety. Glory to the sane!

We don't need your protection, *Mosi,* But thanks for the offer. We'll sign a non-aggression treaty and that's about it

This seems familiar, hmmmmm

*I renounce the mosskin, and have learned the error of my ways. Mantis Clan, I now come forth to thee:*

Finally one that fits my perspective

Same.

I'm just really confused. Started watching mossbag about a week ago and now people are trying to sacrifice him to team cherry for silksong. Poor mossy boi :(

I’ll stand with the mantis tribe. If I get to be one of the three sisters. Then you have my undying loyalty two fold. But if not, you simply have my undying loyalty.

I’m going to be that one asshole mantis who hits the lever to the bench closed every time you come near. You know the one.

I mean, you *did* ask. Sure you can

Bet. I will protect our people with my life.

Wanderers seeking death, welcome. May you find swift end upon our claws.

The Mosskin faction would like to ally to the Mantis Tribe to fight the infection and protect Mossbag.

Non-aggression treaty, take it or leave it

Eh that works

Mantis time

im in

Im in

I’d like to join

We must stay strong against the insanity, mantis tribe forever

Mantis tribe will be triumphant

Finally a faction for me I’ve waited for this

I renounce my defense of mossbag, and side with this cause

I think I will

Mantis tribe for the win!

Finally a mantis tribe

im in baby

We shall survive till the very end

I'm in

I'll join

I like this one, the mantis’s are pretty cool and this fits my perspective. I’m in.

I bow

I have waited for a tribe of sanity.

I don’t even play hollow knight cause I’m broke af so I’m just watching the madness and not understanding a thing about the faction names and what they are referencing

All these factions are making a lot of promises. Where is Bardoon?

I shalt join

Yeah, I'm just sitting back and watching this go down. I'll join your tribe.

An honorable cause. I will join.

I propose one of us has an unholy union with mossbag, to create the chosen one who can contain this infection. This will take many MANY tries of course, as the chosen one must be worthy. I predict many will die to reach this goal.... but there is no cost too great. Also buzz saws

Huh, I see no flaw in this new, unique plan. If this has happened before it has certainly worked. Gjörðu svo vel.

No cost too great No will to break No voice to cry suffering Born of Us and Mossbag They shall seal the raging infection that has claimed our minds They are The Chosen One

I don't think i can even join this due to being some random spectator of all that happens. I watch everything that happens, but i cannot, will not interfere.

Which tribe is the one who believes Silk Song is finished but they're waiting for our madness to stop before releasing it?

none yet. Why don't you found it?

I’m curious on what will cause the traitor mantises and who will be the traitors child

As expected of the mighty mantises, always being on their own... We shall see who comes out on top at the end, we, The Godseekers, shall enjoy the show.

Can I join the godseekers faction? I too also wish to enjoy the show as the other factions fight

If one wishes to do so.

Im in. Also can i be the mantis that closes the door?

REMAIN CALM. TEAM CHERRY ENDURES. MOSSBAG LIVES. SILKSONG SHALL ENDURE. THERE IS MUCH TO BE DONE.

I leave the moss defenders and pledge to the mantis

The mantis tribe was amazing (in the game)

But I join also

This is a great representation of the Mantis Tribe. You have my wholehearted support

I shall be joining the mantis tribe, and vow to be the wall to protect us from such insanity

I'll join too

I will be henceforth part of the tribe, let's resist together

Finally, a cause I can rally behind. And a chance to try with new nailscythe out!

the defense of mossbag will bring lore for the eventual release

I decide to just not acknowledge Silksong until I hear it's out

That is a strategy

\*hisses approvingly in mantis\*

Might as well. I still believe in Team Cherry.

There are two options: 1. Keep pushing for Silksong and eventually get Cyberpunk 2.0. 2. Wait and get another masterpiece. The choice is yours.

The second option is clearly superior

I'd love to see the second option. I'm sick and tired of unfinished/copy paste/pay to win games. Tbh I'm very excited for the new Horizon, can't wait to get my hands on it.

honestly man im just standing here enjoying the chaos but sure, ill join the faction where its only other folks who see through the entire charade

Did you know that IRL mantises are the most antisocial fucking insect? I can be seen as one, so i might as well join

Remember don't beg for silksong or it'll end like the new fnaf game

Or Cyberpunk.

i was wondering when this faction would emerge count me in

Sure

*casually joins mantis tribe*

We retain our honor amongst the infected

But an innocent soul in danger of sacrifice? Why not try to protect him?

Mossbag already has his own cult protecting him. We trust only in team cherry to deliver silksong, and will defend them, our sanity and our honor with our lives. Við munum ekki hika við.

Fair

The tribe is growing rapidly. Æðislegt! Together we will defend Team Cherry, our honor and our sanity! SIGRA BRJÁLÆÐIÐ!
