The result of this battle was that the human side lost less than 4,000 people and annihilated 20,000 Association Swarm.
As for the 10,000 Highlanders army, they originally wanted to wait for the human Knight to turn their backs when the battle situation became tense, but after discovering that the association Swarm was killed and collapsed, they surrendered.
Relying on the intelligence advantage brought by flying insects in the sky and the suddenness of the initiative to attack, Chloe launched three such battles and successively killed a total of 60,000 members of the association Swarm.
Some of the Highlander servants ran away, and most of them joined Chloe's team.
The Highlanders were originally full of resentment towards the Association. The Association's rule was not just brutal, they did not regard the Highlanders as human beings at all.
All elderly people over forty-five years old must be sent to Hatchery. Each tribe is assigned a military mission, and most of the people engaged in production in the tribe are children who have not grown up.
During the war, the Highlanders were also used as cannon fodder, and their dead bodies were not allowed to be buried. They were either eaten by the Swarm controlled by the association, or were moved to the Digestive Cavity of Hatchery.
For the Association, it is more cost-effective to convert the Highlanders into biomass and hatch them into obedient Swarm. If not all the loot can be obtained after the war, the children of the tribe are also equivalent to hostages.
The highlanders who had maintained such high pressure for a long time had long since begun to resist or flee.
The arrival of the Chloe army was seen as their savior. After communicating with fellow highlanders who had surrendered earlier, all the highlanders also believed that Chloe was the daughter of God.
Some brave people even volunteered to go to their original tribes to call on everyone to unite, stop working for the tiger, and defeat the devil's lackey Astrologers' Association together.
Originally, we entered the grassland as an away game, but suddenly with the support of the local highlanders, it became a home game. Chloe's advantage was further expanded.
Finally, after losing 60,000 Swarm, Joanna figured out the cause of the matter. Chloe launched all the human troops in her hands and launched a counterattack against her!
"Why should she! How dare she! How did she do it!" Joanna was still in the Windy Valley, preparing for the final expedition, when the enemy came to the door.
Since she couldn't connect to Shroud for divination, Joanna's self-confidence has decreased a lot. She can connect 200,000 Swarm units through the Psionics carrier.
These Swarm units did not make her feel at ease, so she did not launch an attack immediately, but returned to the association headquarters.
The two stupid disciples of Stars helped Joanna a lot. Their memories not only let her know the information about Overmind Swarm in advance, but the things behind their heads also solved the problem of insufficient Psionics carriers.
If the memory search hadn't turned them both into idiots, Joanna would have thanked them very much.
TiFeng reversed the technology of Neural Thorn and produced similar and more powerful products.
Psionics members of the Astrologers' Association have been mobilized, and each Psionics transplanted with Neural Thorn can connect to more than a thousand Swarm units.
Another 200,000 Swarm units were mobilized. Just when Joanna felt relieved because she had such a large Swarm, Chloe led the troops to the door and wiped out 60,000 Swarm. No wonder she was so angry.
After calming down, Joanna began to carefully calculate the forces at hand. She could connect 200,000 Swarm, the Psionics members of the association could connect 140,000, and the Highlanders could grab some strong men, and they should be able to collect another 300,000.
She also has an expeditionary force led by Skadi that is attacking the Rock Castle of the Oakley Empire. Joanna does not intend to use this force because it is the Association's fallback route.
There are still 800,000 insect eggs, and there is no need for her to recruit the expeditionary force. As long as she can enter a war of attrition, there is no reason for her to lose. What kind of power can stop one million Swarm?
Under the guidance of this arrogant thought, Joanna dispatched all her troops to prepare for a head-to-head contest with Chloe's expeditionary force.
It's a pity that Joanna's ambition is completely inconsistent with her ability, and she doesn't have much talent in the military. Her own talents seem to be added to Psionics.
Judging from the military strength on paper, she does have a considerable advantage, but it cannot withstand scrutiny. It takes time for the eggs to hatch, and the Highlanders' troops are not that loyal. All she can rely on is the 340,000 Swarm on hand.
Moreover, Joanna doesn't know how to fight. She may only know how to send troops. Her enemies are all people with long-term military experience.
After a period of contact and arrangements, the decisive battle began on the highland prairie, with more than one million troops from both sides participating.
One side is the human legion of Chloe, and the supreme commander is Jonathan. This is also the opportunity Chloe gives him to perform.
The strength of the human legion includes one hundred thousand Altia Empire expeditionary force, three hundred thousand regular troops of the Republic of Croland, and fifty thousand surrendered troops of the Highlanders.
On the other side is the Astrologers' Association force commanded by Joanna, including 340,000 Swarm and 300,000 Highlander servants.
The numbers on both sides are huge, and even if the battlefield is chosen on such a vast endless grassland, it seems crowded.
Joanna also discovered this problem. Her troops had a numerical advantage, but she couldn't deploy them at all and couldn't coordinate well.
Not to mention that the 140,000 Swarm were commanded by other association members. Unified command was difficult, and it was difficult for her to control her own 200,000 Swarm.
After all, she relied on the Psionics carrier to command Swarm, not Swarm Network, and could only issue simple orders.
Forced to do nothing, Joanna could only use a clumsy way to arrange the Swarm of other association members on the flanks, with the Highlanders behind.
She herself divided the two hundred thousand Swarm into two parts and ordered the first part of one hundred thousand Swarm to attack first to consume the enemy.
Seeing this level of command, Chloe laughed out loud on the Internet. How could the whole-army pressure play style be so similar to Beast Tide in Death Forest?
Presumably, the results of the two must be very similar, both are defeats.
The hand holding the reins was sweating slightly, and Jonathan did not expect that he would be the supreme commander of all human armies. He originally thought it would be Prince Arthur, who is Queen's brother.
He was really unsure. The largest battle he had ever commanded only had a few thousand people, and he only led the high-level Knights to charge once at Huitouqiu.
If Cam hadn't proposed the soldier committee system before departure, which greatly mobilized the soldiers' organization and enthusiasm, Jonathan wouldn't have thought he could have brought so many troops to the battlefield.
"Your Majesty Cam, Queen, does His Majesty really have no orders?" On the Internet, Jonathan wanted to reduce his worries by asking Cam.
"Chloe node's order is for you to command to resist the enemy's attack. When your order is conveyed to commanders at all levels, it represents her will." Cam's answer defeated Jonathan's last hope.
"So do you want to give an order now? I can help you transfer it through the Internet." Cam said thoughtfully.
