Compared to Chloe, Zhang Han is the luckiest person and the one who is loved the most by Swarm. Chloe is willing to pay so much for Swarm. Comparing the two, Zhang Han is indeed a lot selfish.
And Chloe's feelings are indeed correct. Swarm Network is such a group mentality. There is no unfairness, no hierarchy, let alone nobility, but each individual has different responsibilities.
All consciousness is united as one, just for the development and growth of Swarm, even Overmind.
Swarm Network is like a hive consciousness, with Overmind having the highest authority; and like a Gestalt, each individual is different. They will all be helped by Swarm Network, share memories, and influence Overmind's decision-making.
It is difficult to define the justice or injustice of the Swarm model using traditional social models. We can only say that it is just a special civilization model.
Zhang Han didn't say anything else. He couldn't use the moral principles of different social models to criticize Chloe's choice. He disconnected and planned to think about it again.
He needs to be quiet. While maintaining the mental barrier in the sea of consciousness, he has enough thinking time to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Finally, in order to test the sub-light speed of conventional engines, Zhang Han turned into a red meteor and flew back to Tabi Star.
Chloe, who was about to take a bath, began to feel uneasy after calling Overmind several times without getting a response. She didn't know that Overmind was not satisfied with her answer.
She was no longer in the mood to take a bath. After connecting to a small network, she established contact with Cam.
At this time, Cam and his siege beasts were flying rapidly in the sky, carried by flying insects. The speed of the human army was far slower than Swarm, especially flying insects, which could fly at nearly Mach 1 even if they were carrying siege beasts.
George's assassination made Chloe feel uneasy. She didn't know how much trouble her ruthless third brother would leave for her. The slow march was too variable.
So she ordered Cam and the siege beasts in advance to set off immediately to capture the capital city of Nixiang. Nixiang means the city of eternal spring, which is also a portrayal of this city, which is always warm and like spring all year round.
"Cam, how far are you from Nixiang?" Chloe asked.
"We can see Nixiang in about two hours. I can scan that city with my mental strength. It seems to be very chaotic inside, many people are emotionally unstable, and some consciousnesses are dissipating. Since they have not entered my line of sight, I can't judge what happened for the time being." Cam replied seriously.
"Well, no matter what happened, Cam has the right to do whatever you think is necessary. I need a complete, orderly, and rich Altia Empire capital." Chloe ordered.
"Please rest assured Chloe node, we will not let you down." After saying this, Cam ordered the flying insect to continue to speed up. At this time, the flying insect no longer used spider silk to hang the siege beast, but used its jointed limbs to firmly fix the siege beast's body.
The six flying insects on each siege beast are like six propellers, driving Cam and them forward.
After giving orders to Cam, Chloe had put on her clothes again. She walked out of the bathroom, and the blue-haired Erica immediately came up to her and bowed her head to salute her.
Chloe glanced at her sideways. Erica's list and information were very good, and she also had a deep understanding of ordinary political relations. She could be her own staff when the time comes.
"Tell Duke and Jonathan to cancel the rest and speed up the army's advance. The situation in the capital city of Nixiang has changed. They will rest together for dinner at dusk."
Erica went to the carriage and summoned a guard to convey the order. She also took a cloak from the carriage and came forward to put it on Chloe. Erica's thoughtfulness in every detail made Chloe like her more and more.
At this time, Cam and other siege beasts, after accelerating their flight, finally saw the appearance of the city of Nixiang clearly. It could be seen that this city with hundreds of thousands of people living in it was still very prosperous and beautiful. It would be better if some places were not burning with thick smoke.
Siege beasts also have very strong eyesight. Through mental induction, Cam and the others probably figured out the reason. Some human soldiers wearing armor were massacring ordinary human civilians. They were also setting fire to certain buildings in an organized manner, preparing to completely destroy Ni Hong Kong.
Cam didn't understand why humans were killing each other, but this clearly violated the order he received. Not only did he want to occupy Nixiang, but he also wanted to hand over a complete Nixiang to the Chloe node.
Four siege beasts were ordered by him to land in the four corners of the city and began to hatch small flying insects.
"Flying insects must also participate in the battle and eliminate the rioting human armies in the city as soon as possible. I will use my mental power to help you mark the target for attack."
The remaining five siege beasts were commanded by Cam to land in open areas of the city. They would use Psionics to extinguish fires, disperse smoke, and protect civilians.
Cam himself was in the sky responsible for fire support and battlefield control.
The human army that set fire and killed people was not a rebel army. They were originally the city guards protecting Nixiang. Their top commander was Prime Minister George.
This was also a secret move by George. He used assassination and co-optation methods to control the strongest military force in the capital early, laying the groundwork for all future variables.
When his surrender was rejected by Chloe, George regarded Chloe as an opponent that must be eradicated. He would do everything possible to weaken Chloe. The assassination was just the beginning.
It was of course impossible to hand over the complete Altia Empire's capital city of Nice to Chloe, so before George left the empire he ordered his cronies in Nice to take action.
His order was to destroy Nixiang, kill everyone who could be killed, take away all valuable things, and leave only the ruins and broken walls to Chloe.
If Cam and the others had arrived a few days later, George's conspiracy would probably have succeeded.
The residents of Nixiang witnessed a shocking scene on this day. The city guards who were supposed to protect them turned into robbers, bandits, and butchers. Since the morning, they started setting fires, killing, and robbing every house.
Not only commoners, but also the families of nobles were targeted. It would be better to say that they were the first to be targeted.
At this time, the title of aristocrat could not protect the family, and the men would be killed regardless of whether they resisted or not. The women, those beautiful and noble aristocratic ladies and ladies, were all pulled aside and humiliated in turn.
The city guards are well-trained and well-equipped. When they put aside their conscience and turn into demons, no one in the entire Ni Hong Kong can stop them.
Nico seems to be heading towards destruction.
At this time, the terrifying monsters that have been officially promoted descended from the sky. Legend has it that they are demons brought from hell by the monster Princess Chloe. According to rumors, they look scary, are cruel in nature, and like to bite people.
