Water is the source of life, and the development of Swarm cannot be separated from water sources. Although Hatchery has a way to extract water, the efficiency is much lower than direct collection.
Zhang Han spent another hour shrinking his body by ten meters. He was surrounded by High-energy Crystal and catalytic gas.
"These things will allow you to quickly get through the early stage and evolve to level three Hatchery." Zhang Han said to Stars.
"Of course, how you do it depends on you as the core node. Your mission is to develop a powerful Swarm fleet here within one year."
"After hatching the communication Cerebrate, please report the progress to me at any time."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Han flew towards the starry sky under the respectful gaze of Stars. He still had another galaxy to go to, and he couldn't afford to delay the three-light-year journey. The sooner he could steal minerals, the better.
Stars watched Zhang Han's figure draw a red comet in the starry sky. She watched quietly until she could no longer see it, then lowered her head.
I warned myself in my heart that I must work harder to repay Overmind's trust and make Swarm stronger.
The perspective returns to Tabi Star, on the edge of the endless grasslands of the highlanders.
Twenty members of the Astrologers' Association are using Neural Thorn behind their heads, trying to debug the network to be more peaceful and no longer full of mania.
Because there are more than 20,000 Terror Beasts and Venom Beasts in their vicinity, and the overly manic network will bring great inconvenience to the command.
After debugging, they will take the lead in marching towards the Republic of Croland together with the nearby 10,000 Highlander troops.
The news brought by the Highlander scouts almost shocked these Astromancer and Psionics mages. A large and incomprehensible number of the Altia Empire cavalry was heading towards them.
These cavalrymen did not give these association members much time to be surprised.
As soon as a purple-robed Astromancer conveyed the news of encountering the enemy through the earrings on his ears to the Windy Valley, Altia Empire's Knights came to fight in front of them.
Following them were the gigantic Behemoth and the cavalry regiment, which were also Highlanders.
Ymir and Raul never thought that they would charge together with the Highlanders, and there would be a legendary monster more than ten meters tall beside them.
These highlanders were the ones who surrendered in the battle to lure the enemy. They knew that surrendering would lead to the massacre of their clan members, but they still surrendered in order to survive.
Highlanders have always been very superstitious, they all believe in Three Legendary Beasts, Winter God is Frost Serpent, the god of wind is Storm Dragonhawk, and the god of strength is Behemoth.
When they heard that Queen Chloe was the daughter of God and the savior from the Crowlands, they immediately believed it.
Only such existence can drive those good Swarm and get help from Behemoth.
Just as Astrologers' Association was about to have a decisive battle, Cam selected 30,000 of the best from these highlanders to join them in the battle.
The first one to rush into the enemy camp was Behemoth. This time, he did not jump from a high place to smash a large number of enemies in an earth-shattering manner like before. Instead, he raised his sharp claws and rushed in like a harvester, causing a larger-scale bloody storm.
A charging wave composed of 20,000 Altean Knight and 30,000 Highlanders followed. A large number of Terror Beasts and Venom Beasts that were still in a sluggish state were knocked to the ground, stabbed to death by lances, or trampled to death by horses.
Ymir was pleasantly surprised to find that these Swarm monsters were not as powerful as Queen's subordinates. They were disorganized and fighting on their own. Originally, he thought that charging 20,000 Swarm with fifty thousand cavalry would lead to death, but now he doesn't see it that way.
At best, these things are at the level of ferocious beasts. Humans can win with such things! Ymir thought with surprise in his heart, and then killed the two terrifying beasts with a Psionics slash.
Several green venom shot towards Ymir, and he instantly raised a Psionics barrier to swing it away.
"Too slow, too slow. Compared with the attack speed and skill of Zergling and Needle Crawler, there is simply a gap between a sword master and an apprentice!"
Ymir, who had been shadowed by long-term sparring with combat bugs, was so confident that he took off the magic crystal bomb on his body and threw it at the venom beasts, blowing them into pieces.
The mages of the Astrologers' Association and Astromancer saw a scene that even subverted their views. The invincible Swarm they commanded was suppressed by ordinary people...
No, it is definitely not a problem with their command, nor is it Swarm that has become weaker, but it is caused by the large number of high-level Knight and Behemoth in the front row.
Obviously, the arrogant Astromancers do not intend to admit their failure. Their behavior and values are to master everything and control everything, even if they are the arrogant Shrouds.
Twenty people resonated with each other's spirits, and the powerful Psionics was shaped, distorting reality into a sharp giant spear.
The giant blue-purple spear glowed dangerously, and as the leader Astromancer roared, the spear pierced Behemoth like lightning, who was killing everyone.
Behemoth was too focused on the fight in front of him. Faced with the incoming lightning, he could only instinctively dodge. The giant spear was not inserted into its chest, but was inserted into its shoulder.
The beaten Behemoth staggered and let out a loud roar. It wanted to pull out the spear on its shoulder and throw it over, but found that the spear was getting smaller and kept digging in.
In order to resist this penetration force, Behemoth had to reduce his size and use his Psionics strengthened muscles to wear down and resist.
"Interesting, can Psionics still operate like this? There is indeed something about the Astrologers' Association that is worth studying."
Through Swarm Network, Cam could see the battlefield clearly, and it was easy to see the source of the blue-purple lightning.
The enemy's chain of command was exposed.
Three flying insects flying high in the sky received the order and began to dive at high speed. Each flying insect grabbed two large rocks. Cam refused to use the explosive magic crystal made by High-energy Crystal. He thought it was a huge and sinful waste.
The screams of death soon reached the heads of those Astromancer, and the shadows cast by several boulders were the most desperate scene they saw in their lives.
The power of the boulders dropped by the giant flying insects at high speed is not much lower than that of bombs. The huge craters on the ground and the dust and flesh powder kicked up all illustrate this point well.
The Terror Beast and the Venom Beast were relying on their physical strength to stabilize their position bit by bit, killing and injuring the humans Knight and the Highlanders, when they were suddenly beheaded and their command system was decapitated.
The association Swarm immediately fell into chaos. They began to attack each other regardless of the enemy or ourselves, and bit each other Consume.
It is impossible for the human army to execute orders with just one thought like Swarm, especially after launching a charge.
They will be stuck in the battle. On a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to get everyone to stop fighting and start retreating at the same time.
Facing the chaotic Terror Beasts and Venomous Beasts, the best choice is to withdraw from the battlefield and let them kill each other.
However, this choice of human army cannot be done, so Ymir can only lead Knight to continue fighting with the highlanders until all the enemies are killed.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the association Swarm, which was in chaos, has further declined, and it has truly turned into a beast without intelligence as Ymir said, so it is not too difficult to eliminate it.
