After leaving behind the Highlanders' troops and the remaining Horrors, Joanna prepared to return to the Wind Valley in the north, leaving the rest of the battle to her disciple Skadi to command.
The Rock Fortress must be broken, it just takes a little more time. The Swarm that can be hatched by Hatchery is endless, and the magic crystal shells and bullets are limited.
The Swarm lost here has been hatched inside Hatchery. Joanna only needs to go north to join them. In addition to the single horror beast, there are also many venom beasts inside.
The shape of the Venom Beast is similar to that of the Terror Beast, except that the two rings on the back have become organs that spray venom. The range is not very far, but the venom is very lethal. It can not only corrode people until they are only bones, but also corrode armor.
This time Joanna also used up all the Psionics carriers, which can connect 200,000 Swarm units at one time. The static water tank under the windy valley has been filled with people. Joanna believes that this is a huge force, an irresistible force.
Even if she suffered heavy losses in the ensuing battle, Hatchery had stored millions of insect eggs. She didn't think Chloe could really stop her. Her most threatening enemy was Swarm Overmind in Death Forest.
Joanna feels that she has a great advantage, and coincidentally Chloe also feels that she has a great advantage.
In the Republic of Croland, those MPs who surrendered played a great role in the stability of her rule. Although they were despicable, cruel, and greedy, in terms of common human moral qualities, they were all scum that deserved to go to hell.
But these scumbags are smart, clever, and extremely thick-skinned. Lies are as commonplace to them.
They also knew that their wealth came from a shady source and that they had surrendered and betrayed their country, so they made up a story. A story in which Chloe is the savior and will save the world.
This story was not compiled under the instruction of Chloe. It relied entirely on their subjective initiative. Before taking action, they submitted a document to Chloe. Chloe thought that it would help her stabilize the environment of the Republic, so she didn't care.
Now this story is getting more and more outrageous.
In the square of a city in the Republic of Croland, a brightly dressed municipal official was telling the story eloquently on a high platform. Citizens attracted by the free food surrounded him and listened intently.
"The moment the great Chloe Queen was born, there was a colorful meteor shower in the night sky, as if all the stars in the sky fell down, just to celebrate the birth of the great savior!"
"Those mysterious and aloof Astromancer have never seen this kind of horoscope. They looked at the divination results dumbfounded. On the surface of the divination, the great god sent his most beloved daughter to the mortal world, and she will save all mankind!"
The official's story is not only emotional, but behind him there are two Psionics mages who used Psionics to draw colorful patterns.
There was no entertainment in this era, that is, watching circuses, puppet shows, etc. Unlike today, people have a variety of movies and film and television works to choose from.
The colorful pictures and realistic sound effects drawn by Psionics stunned the onlookers.
"Devils have always existed. They hate, rage, and kill. They are the enemies of gods. God loves the world, and her daughter loves the world as well. So the demons are jealous, and they will destroy the world and kill everyone!"
As soon as the screen changed, those terrifying beasts that were wreaking havoc and killing people in the eastern part of the Republic came out of the Psionics smoke vividly. This appearance scared some timid people to scream and pee their pants.
"The demons have their lackeys, and Queen also has its own warriors!"
Chloe, who was shrouded in holy light and became abnormally holy, rode on a giant flying insect. In the picture depicted by Psionics, he led the fighting bugs coated with a layer of holy light to eliminate all the bloodthirsty and terrifying terrifying beasts.
"Queen is the destined co-owner of mankind. Queen is the hope to save mankind. The Republic is history, and the empire that unifies all human countries is the future!"
At the end of the story, the official revealed the entire purpose of the story.
The people who had just been immersed in the 3D movie had not yet recovered from the exquisite pictures. "Why did the Republic suddenly become an empire?" This question arose in the minds of countless people.
At this time, some people in the crowd were sobbing and saying, "So Chloe Queen is the savior. If only she had come to Croland earlier. My country has been destroyed and eaten up by the devil's lackeys... There is no one left... Wuwuwu."
There are indeed several small countries that serve as buffer countries between the Highlanders and the Republic of Crore. Now they are basically destroyed. Those who are lucky have fled to Croland as refugees, and those who are unlucky have been converted into energy by Hatchery.
The experiences of these refugees are all seen by the Crowlanders, and they are also worried that they will follow in the footsteps of these refugees.
While everyone was infected by the uneasy mood, the officials immediately began to say, "You don't have to worry about those demons at all. Queen Chloe has arrived at her loyal Croland. Under her leadership, we will defeat the demon's lackeys and ensure the safety of everyone!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and shouted, "Chloe Queen will protect all its subjects, long live Queen, long live the empire!"
Tuo, who had been mixed in the crowd for a long time, immediately started shouting too. People have a herd mentality, and people in this era are not very knowledgeable, and their national consciousness has not been awakened.
Since someone was shouting, it seemed like he would be different if he didn't shout, so slowly everyone started shouting.
Similar scenes were soon staged in various cities in the Republic of Croland, which not only lowered the resistance consciousness of the Croland people, but also increased the legitimacy of Chloe's rule, and even raised her to the level of a savior.
Later, some ignorant people actually erected a statue of Chloe at home and paid homage to it from time to time.
The stability of the Croland Republic allowed Chloe to easily control its 300,000-strong army. Strictly speaking, it was not completely under control. The army was still commanded by the original generals and parliamentarians, but these people now did not dare to disobey Chloe's orders.
The defense of the 300,000 Croland Army relying on their bastions and magic crystal weapons was sufficient, and the Swarm reinforcements sent by Isa greatly strengthened Chloe's offensive power.
Isa did not tell Chloe that it was her decision to send reinforcements. Chloe misunderstood it as another test for Overmind. She was full of confidence and excited. She felt that her efforts were recognized by Overmind and Swarm.
So after having more troops on hand, Chloe no longer planned to defend, she planned to launch an attack.
