"Chloe, you did a great job." Zhang Han was about to use the dragging technique.

"Now you want to unify the human kingdom and ascend the throne as emperor. These Swarm will be led by you temporarily to help you stabilize the country."

Maybe after tasting the sweetness of becoming an emperor, Chloe changed his mind? Zhang Han thought in his heart.

"For Swarm and Overmind, I will do a good job!" Chloe was so excited that her hard work for so long was seen.

She didn't know that this was Zhang Han's trick to prevent her from returning to Swarm Network. She just felt that as long as she worked hard for a while, she could return to Swarm. Overmind's affirmation and praise made her full of hope.

After dealing with Chloe, Zhang Han felt very hungry. The body of the etheric dragon had been sleeping for too long. It was really a bit tired to be tortured by Zhang Han as soon as he got up.

Controlling the etheric dragon to fly into the sky, Zhang Han originally planned to go to Hatchery to drink some nutrient solution, but his body strongly protested.

The body is still difficult to take care of, and if you don't like the taste of the nutrient solution, then you can only go to the sea to find fish to eat. The etheric dragon is too big, and only the sea can have enough food to feed him.

The silhouette of the giant dragon flew over the mountains, casting a huge shadow on the endless grassland. On the battlefield of the grassland, the Highlanders, Altians, and Crowlanders all cheered at Zhang Han that flew over their heads.

Jonathan felt that this was the most glorious moment in his life. He recklessly led the empire's Knight in a series of high-stakes charges, shaking the core of the Astrologers' Association with his mortal flesh and blood.

Although in the initial charge, mortals gained some battlefield advantages by surprise. But when the battle situation reached a stalemate, the powerful Astromancers also entered the battlefield.

The situation has become one of grinding and attrition. In the field, the Swarm monsters of the association are much better than ordinary people, and the Psionics Enchantment of Astromancer further strengthens their combat effectiveness.

When Jonathan felt that he had to rely on infantry reinforcements to win, the dragon in the sky showed up, boosting morale and completely annihilating the association's Swarm.

After the dragon burned the battlefield with blazing flames, it didn't take long for those terrifying associations Swarm to fall into chaos, and then began to kill each other.

No matter how powerful Astromancer was without the protection of Swarm, it could not withstand the anger of hundreds of thousands of highlanders. They attacked and charged fiercely from the beginning, killing many Swarm and causing great losses to themselves.

Now is the time for them to taste the taste of revenge. Jonathan did not let his Altea Knight join in the encirclement and suppression of the association Astromancer. The enemy's desperate counterattack would cause a lot of damage.

He cared about the lives of his men, but the highlanders didn't. They not only killed every member of the association over the corpses of their companions, but even spared the corpses. The process was too bloody.

This is not in line with the tradition of the Altia Empire. It is a civilized approach to leave as many corpses as possible for the enemy general during battle.

The shadow of the dragon in the sky moved over Jonathan's head. He did not cheer like the nearby soldiers. He felt that only Queen was worthy of his cheers.

But out of gratitude and respect, he still gave the most standard Knight salute to the dragon in the sky.

The cheers of the humans below were loud. Zhang Han was flying very high and could still be heard. He ignored these people. From the size point of view, these people were ants. From the perspective of threat, they were also ants.

The body of the ether dragon flew very fast, and it was worthy of being a huge Leviathan. The vast ocean soon appeared in Zhang Han's field of vision. He imitated the way the ether dragon looked in his dream, and dived into it.

Opening its mouth wide, Consume saw a large number of fish like an abyss. Zhang Han I wanted to swim deeper into the sea to eat more fish, but this body resisted me because there are molluscs with tentacles such as octopus and squid in the depths.

The impact of the nightmares over the past few months has been considerable. It will take some time for Zhang Han to fully control this body.

While Zhang Han was feasting, news came from Isa that Hatchery had completely extracted the memories of the two Sedari people.

First of all, they didn't lie. Indeed, the escaped spaceship had nothing to do with them. They were just two speculators who wanted to come to Tabi Star to pioneer the land because of a confidential document and a star map.

The country they come from, Nun Giant Corporation, is quite interesting, and it also has a certain influence in the group council. It is said that it has the potential to serve as a non-permanent member of the council, and it is a country that has developed capitalism to the extreme.

It seems that Tabi Star has indeed been exposed, and more Swarm fleets need to be prepared to cope with the crisis. However, the giant hatchery has not yet been formed, and the efficiency of the Dyson membrane is not high. How many fleets can be hatched in a short period of time?

Is it a better choice to leave Tabi Star? Anyway, you can go anywhere with a warp engine, but after farming on Tabi Star for so long, you can't bear to leave. Zhang Han fell into the same anxiety as Abaddon.

In fact, Hatchery in Zhang Han developed very quickly, twice as fast as other Hatchery in the same period. Unfortunately, his development time was too short, less than a year, and there was not enough accumulation at all.

"Overmind, that yellow Sedari man has been asking to talk to you. He seems to have guessed your identity, and he keeps saying some strange things in order to survive."

Issa relayed a few paragraphs and then asked, "Do you want to speak to him?"

After listening for a while, Zhang Han found that what the fox said was indeed interesting, and he planned to communicate with the fox.

"I am Overmind. What you said aroused my interest." In an instant, Zhang Han's voice appeared in Joey's mind.

Zhang Han's voice excited Joey, and he knew he had made the right bet.

In fact, he didn't even know that Zhang Han was Overmind, and he didn't know the ether dragon, but he saw those terrifying Swarm creations in the universe, and the largest among them was the ether dragon.

He knew that Swarm had a leader, so he kept shouting in order to survive. What he shouted was the king of Swarm. Here, Isa directly understood the meaning of Overmind.

In the future, he will understand what a big mistake he made and what a terrible existence Overmind is.

"Great King Swarm, we are useful. Now the entire Stellaris Council is attacking this star area. The war will consume a lot of things, resources, minerals, and money! And we can bring these to the great King Swarm!"

No nonsense, Joey went straight to the topic. Yes, this topic did arouse Zhang Han's interest.

"Why should I trust you to bring me the resources I need?" Not only through language, Zhang Han also oppressed Joey mentally. He wanted to know whether this fox had that kind of mental quality and ability.
