When the first explosion sounded under the bastion, Chloe in the king's tent was frightened by the loud alarm bell of Swarm Network.
"All combat bugs withdraw immediately!"
The convenient network conveyed the order in an instant, and a thousand combat bugs sent down immediately gave up the fight and began to escape at the speed of life and death.
The siege beasts in the distance were also lifted up by flying insects. Chloe ordered them to arrive at the bastion immediately and used Psionics to protect the fighting insects and reduce their losses.
Explosions were heard one after another in the bastion, and at every exit, a large number of fighting bugs were quickly fleeing. The human soldiers on the city wall looked at this astonishing scene, and their mouths were opened and they could not speak for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, several siege beasts smashed into the outside of the bastion like hills. Their powerful mental power provided Psionics barriers and Psionics Enchantment for every fighting bug still in the bastion.
The entire explosion lasted for more than ten minutes, and almost the entire core area of the bastion was destroyed. There was probably not a single survivor inside.
Two hundred of the one thousand fighting bugs were suppressed below. Even with the help of Psionics, their fragile flesh and blood could not bear the weight of this mass.
Fortunately, mankind's current knowledge of explosions is not comprehensive. If a large number of magic crystals in the bastion exploded at the same time, a thousand battle bugs would be lucky to survive two hundred.
"This is High-energy Crystal. It was actually used as explosives by this civilized people. It is such a waste. It is also a huge waste at the cosmic level." Cam complained on the Internet.
And Chloe was regretting her decision-making mistakes. She only had 5,000 combat bugs in total, and she lost more than 200 in two battles. The war against Arthur had just begun and she lost 200 due to command errors. How could she not regret this.
"Cam, you don't care about the dead Zerg, but you care about those lifeless magic crystals?" Chloe's tone was reproachful.
"It's normal for Swarm to die in battle. Death in battle is the destination of every Zerg. Chloe nodes, you don't have to feel sad for their passing, and you don't have to blame yourself. Nothing is eternal. Even if Swarm pursues eternity, I never dare to say that Swarm can achieve eternity."
Cam's words are like an old man educating young people, "As a node, your duty is to learn from experience, summarize lessons, do better next time, and make every Zerg death valuable."
These words made Chloe think about it for a long time, and he had new insights into Swarm and himself. These insights were transformed into four words.
"For Swarm."
"Yes, for Swarm." Cam replied.
Realizing that the human army was weak, Chloe abandoned the human army that night. She did the same thing as in the Battle of Fort Warriors, preparing to lead Swarm in a raid on Arthur's capital.
The first fortress fell, and when the information that the commander detonated the magic crystal and killed the enemy was sent to Arthur, this information had little value.
Because, Chloe had already arrived outside Meteor City with Swarm Warcraft.
Ten giant towers of flesh and blood that Arthur had seen in Clairvoyance surrounded Meteor City, and the purple mucus they secreted was like an endless purple ocean.
He originally had an army of 60,000, and Isabella brought 50,000. There are 110,000 in total, of which 45,000 are arranged in the three outer bastions. The remaining 65,000 are all in Meteor City, including his few cavalry, 60% of high-level Knight, and 70% of Psionics mages.
Now they are all trapped by this purple mucus. There is nothing on the purple mucus, and they seem to be very safe. Those seemingly terrifying flesh and blood towers do not seem to be aggressive.
On the night when the giant tower of flesh and blood appeared, Arthur ordered five teams to break out from different directions to investigate the situation or go to other fortresses to ask for help. As a result, they have not returned until today.
The danger is invisible.
Two thunderous sounds came from the sky, and Arthur, who was standing inside the guard tower, was startled. Although it was not the first time he heard such sounds, he still couldn't get used to it.
This is the sound made by the huge flying monsters when they pierce the sky. For three days, they just existed like the giant tower of flesh and blood outside the city and did not actively attack the city.
Arthur couldn't guess why. Chloe is a decisive person. What is she waiting for?
I thought that today's routine investigation would be in vain, but Isabella's figure appeared at the door of the sentry tower. She was dressed gorgeously, and she smiled brightly when she saw Arthur.
Ever since Meteor City was besieged, this woman's smile has become the most beautiful sight in the entire city.
"What's good?" Arthur asked.
Isabella first waved her hand and drove everyone out of the sentry tower, and then mysteriously took out a glass bottle from the lining pocket. In the glass bottle was something purple, like moss and mucus.
"Has the research on those purple slimes yielded results?"
"Well, not only are there results, but the results are beyond our imagination." Isabella said with a smile. She originally wanted to give it a try, but after looking at Arthur's serious face, she slowly spoke out.
"We always thought that this stuff was poisonous and was secreted to restrict us. The purpose of our initial research was also to find a treatment method if someone was poisoned."
"We feed this mucus to all kinds of animals, from pigs to rats. The result is that not only is the mucus non-toxic, it's also very nutritious."
"All the animals have gained weight. Volunteers tasted them before they came here. Apart from the bad taste, there was nothing wrong with them."
A light of excitement appeared in Isabella's eyes, and she seemed to see unlimited business opportunities.
"The transparent mucus on this thing will slowly solidify after breaking away from the purple base. This white solidified substance can not only be eaten, but can also be used as an adhesive." Isabella raised the bottle in her hand, "We can even use it to strengthen the city wall."
"It would be nice if there wasn't a war. This purple mucus is food, feed, and money." She concluded with emotion.
Arthur gave a rare smile, and said joking words from his mouth, "It seems that as long as we can bear the disgust of this thing, the siege will not be able to trap us no matter how long it lasts."
Isabella was about to nod in agreement when Arthur said again, "Then why did Chloe do this?"
This question made both of them silent. It was indeed impossible to think of it based on their knowledge.
The reason why Chloe does this is very simple, let the siege beast accumulate a little more energy through Creep, and then give Meteor City a heavy blow.
