Fenghuo City is preparing for a celebration for Queen Chloe to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. It is somewhat shameful for the Oakley people to have Queen of an empire ascend the throne in their own capital.
However, patriotism and shame cannot save lives, Queen's half a million troops have not withdrawn, they are stationed in the territory of the Oklai people.
There are also those Swarm monsters that are bigger and more terrifying, some are as big as mountains, some are as fast as lightning, and they can make thunderous sounds when flying.
Fortunately, they all stayed in that slime land and did not eat humans. Their presence gave the Oklai people such tremendous psychological pressure that no one dared to raise objections to surrender.
The city was beautifully decorated, even more beautiful than when celebrating the grandest festival. The palace was even more so. The Oakley Empire was so wealthy that it used one-tenth of its treasury to hold celebrations.
Flowers and silks covered almost every corner of the palace. Fresh and exquisite food was transported from thousands of miles away. In order to maintain its freshness, a lot of expensive ice was used in the hot Fengcheng City.
It's all about satisfying Chloe.
In the most prosperous hall of the palace, a precious glass wine glass filled with red wine flew half the distance of the palace and smashed into Liszt's face.
Blood mixed with red wine flowed down from Liszt's face. He did not dare to wipe it at all. He quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
Chloe, who was on the throne, had an angry look on his face. Since the assassination incident, Chloe, who had always been indifferent to emotion and anger, had become so angry for the first time.
Her target, her must-kill person, George ran away! Chloe remembered clearly that the task Overmind gave her was to fulfill her previous wish, become the co-owner of mankind, and avenge her mother.
Now that her enemy has escaped, her mission cannot be completed.
What to do, what to do, what to do! Chloe's unstable mood has affected her small network. Those combat bugs are extremely irritable, and even the siege beasts are in a murderous mood.
The Chloe troops stationed next to Creep felt strange. The sensitive highlanders immediately uprooted their camps and ran away.
Chloe herself was also affected by the emotions on the Internet. She wanted to vent her anger. These Oakley people who let George go had to pay with their lives and blood!
"Node Chloe, please calm down, killing people won't solve the problem." It was Cam's voice that pulled Chloe back.
Chloe, whose blue eyes regained her composure, waved her hand and drove out all the people who had upset her. Killing people would not solve the problem.
Liszt, who had no idea that he and his country had walked through the gate of hell, quickly rolled back.
"What should I do Cam? I failed, I let Overmind down." On the Internet, Chloe's voice had a hint of crying.
"No, things are not that bad. During this period of fighting with you, I can realize that you are an excellent node. Overmind is a wise existence. He will not exclude you from the network. That would be a waste."
In order to enlighten Chloe, Cam started a serious analysis that was consistent with his logic.
"When we were about to defeat Astrologers' Association, Overmind controlled a new incarnation and descended on the lost Hatchery, and communicated with you. I remember that you were very happy at the time and said that Overmind praised you."
"Your achievements are indeed worthy of praise. Did Overmind say anything after that? For example, new instructions? Overmind is the one who controls the entire Swarm. The fact that he came in person is enough to show that he attaches great importance to it."
Under Cam's reminder, Chloe remembered that what Zhang Han asked her to do was to unify the human country and then become emperor, and she did not mention killing George.
Soon, Chloe packed up the memories of the entire communication process between Zhang Han and her and sent them to Cam, filling in many details.
After Cam finished reading, he said with admiration, "The great Overmind has really thought deeply. It is easy for Swarm to pacify the human kingdom. He asked you to do it to train you."
"Because if Swarm were to do it, in Swarm's style, there would be no human nations, and the secrets of the Astrologers' Association might be destroyed and buried forever in history."
"If you do it, it will take a little longer, but you will get a lot of benefits and find out a lot of secrets. I saw the information you and Overmind looked up, and I think Swarm will soon understand Psionics further."
"As for letting you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, the unification of the human kingdom must also have Overmind's deep meaning in it." The more Cam thought about it, the more reasonable his analysis became.
"There are many Overminds in my memory, and very few Overminds use other intelligent life forms as Swarm Nodes. Even the number used is very small. This time, Overminds have absorbed several. Each one has different races and genes. I think this is a pattern."
"This time Overmind is different from the previous one. Letting you rule Tabi Star all intelligent life must be to prepare for the future. This matter is of the highest importance. Overmind has reminded you once, so Chloe node, please take care of the present first, and then wait for new instructions from Overmind."
After listening to Cam's analysis, Chloe also felt that it was very reasonable. She was not calm and lost her temper just now. Indeed, first ascend to the throne and complete the tasks assigned by Overmind.
"Come here, call Liszt." Chloe immediately began to prepare and arrange matters related to the enthronement.
"Cam, all Swarm units are now under your command. Station some of the Swarm units in Fengrao City for security work. I am using violence and oppression to unify the human nations. There are many people who are definitely dissatisfied in their hearts. Don't let them cause trouble. The enthronement ceremony must go smoothly."
"As you wish, Chloe node."
On the balcony of an exquisite small villa, Carl Hornsthous was lying on the railing, watching the sunset in the distance slowly sinking into the sea level.
He has been in Fengrao City for several days. Not only him, but all human countries have sent envoys to Fengrao City. They are all here to participate in Queen Chloe's enthronement ceremony and to express their surrender.
Of course, there were also ignorant small countries that refused to surrender. On the day they refused, huge siege beasts and flying insects occupied their capitals. Therefore, in name, Chloe's ascension to the throne was 'popular expectation'.
As the earliest nobleman to follow Queen and the successor of the Marquis of the Border, Carl also had considerable power. Many nobles from other countries came to visit him in admiration and wanted to get closer. Carl didn't like these, so he refused them all.
Since his father's death, neither the old nor new aristocratic factions in Altea paid much attention to him, and they basically did not invite him to communicate with each other in private.
This made him feel the discomfort of being isolated, "Did Chloe experience the same situation during the years when Earl led it?" Carl said to himself.
