In the sky above Tabi Star, the two thousand Abaddon and Swarm fleets entered the planet's synchronous orbit. After scanning, the position of Hatchery was easily determined.

The first Hatchery is in the valley of the Eastern Hemisphere, and seems to be still evolving, with a small scale. The second Hatchery is in a Forest, with a large number of Swarm buildings and Creep covering it here, and it should be the main Hatchery.

Limited by the interference of mental power, Abaddon's Swarm fleet cannot completely detect the reality of Hatchery in Forest. However, it should not be very powerful. Creep is such a huge planet that is not fully covered, and a large number of indigenous life forms are still alive.

The defense of planet Hatchery is relatively weak. It is recommended to launch an all-round attack immediately, Hive Mind of Abaddon commented.

Approaching the sky above Death Forest, a large number of Brood Lord and Overlord were ready to release sporangia. Suddenly, a purple sphere-like Psionics Shock exploded among them.

Several Brood Lord and Overlord were relaxing, and when they were most vulnerable, Psionics Shock directly blew them into pieces. Of course, Swarm would not be unable to withstand such casualties, and Swarm would always fight to the last one.

The giant Cerebrate's successive Psionics Shock destroyed many Abaddon's Swarm fleet. Under the command of Hive Mind, these fleets spread spores that could block radar waves and mental detection, shrouded the Swarm fleet with a layer of gray fog, and dropped sporangia like a rainstorm from space.

Now the core node in Death Forest is Chloe. Her body is still being strengthened and transformed. She cannot participate in the battle personally, but she can still command the battle.

The first round of sporangia contained one million fighting bugs, and Chloe was also ready. After experiencing the world of Beast Tide and the Ether Dragon, Zhang Han never focused on expanding the number of fighting bugs, but he also planted a lot of spore towers.

Huge green corrosive spores began to pierce the sky. A large number of sporangia were shattered before they hit the ground, and the sky seemed to turn green.

In the end, only a handful of sporangia fell on the ground, and the fighting bugs inside were quickly surrounded and annihilated by Zhang Han's superior Swarm on the ground. During this period, Zhang Han used all its power, allowing Hatchery to hatch various fighting bugs, conservatively estimated to be more than 10 million.

Because Death Forest's Hatchery is the core, so they are all gathered here, and Abbas's Swarm will not be easily eaten in one bite.

The second, third, and fourth rounds of sporangia followed one after another. It was obvious that Abaddon's Hive Mind was a very normal Hatchery thinking. It would not stop attacking until all the fighting bugs were wiped out.

Hundreds of Corruptor left synchronous orbit and entered the atmosphere, preparing to attack the anti-aircraft spore towers.

Faced with this situation, Chloe could only frown and let the spore tower stand up. She only had two thousand Mutalisk in the atmosphere, which were hatched to deal with the targets on Tabi Star, so her combat effectiveness was worrying.

It is possible to shoot a small amount of Corruptor from a fifty-meter-long Mutalisk, but it cannot handle hundreds of Corruptor. Corruptor is equivalent to a cruiser, which can be nearly a kilometer long.

The fierce fighting between the two Swarm in Tabi Star will naturally affect the lives of mortals on the ground. Orbital airdrops cannot be so accurate, especially for Swarm, many sporangia fall in other areas.

The fighting bugs in these sporangia are the purest Swarm. They have only one purpose, which is to kill.

The human kingdom has just been unified by Chloe, and everything is waiting for improvement. The main force is stationed in the Oakley Empire. On the other side of the planet, the other three countries only have limited local defenders.

How could these troops withstand the bloodthirsty fighting bugs? Tragedies were staged in all countries. The most tragic thing was Altia Empire, which was closest to Death Forest. Ni Hong Kong ushered in belated destruction.

Jonathan, who was far away in the Oakley Empire, naturally didn't know this. After the Queen was assassinated, he immediately took control of the palace, investigated the suspects, and eliminated the opposition organizations.

With his efforts, many people who were against the empire and hostile to Queen Chloe surfaced. Some of them were hanged by Jonathan, and some were locked in cells.

When Abaddon's Swarm launched the landing attack, Jonathan was organizing the political leaders of the four kingdoms to discuss how to maintain order in the empire and wait for the return of the Queen.

A Psionics mage shouting that the end of the world has arrived rushed into the venue. Jonathan thought this was another rebel who opposed the Queen, and almost prepared to shoot him.

Now standing on the observation deck of the palace, Jonathan has the same idea as Master Psionics. The naked eye cannot see through the atmosphere, but Master Psionics's Psionics sensor can.

A powerful Psionics mage shared his Psionics perception. Jonathan, Arthur, Donald, Lister, and Highlander Chief Emil can all sense the powerful evil thoughts in outer space.

No one knows what it is, only that the thing full of evil thoughts is bigger than the largest thing in the legend, just like the ocean of evil thoughts hanging in the depths of the sky.

When everyone was still in shock and disbelief, the chief Emir took the lead and angrily shouted, "You unbelievers! It is because of your unbelief and arrogance that led to the disaster. God recalled His daughter, leaving behind an empire that should be punished!"

"Chief Emil, you must have misunderstood..." Arthur opened his mouth and was about to explain that Chloe is not the daughter of God, but his real blood sister.

A huge spore sac fell from the sky and hit the city of Fenghuang. Soon chaos and screams spread in the city. Master Psionics immediately showed what he saw with Clairvoyance.

That is the new Swarm monster, a type that no one has ever seen before. There are not many of them, but they kill everyone they see.

"Did you see it? God has sent down punishment! The new Swarm monster is under God's order and has begun to punish us!" Emil's voice became even louder.

Arthur was really stunned now. He never believed in any gods, but everything that was happening in front of him could only be well explained from the perspective of gods.

Chloe The Swarm troops who stayed in the Oakley Empire naturally wouldn't watch. The flying insects standing on the top of the palace immediately flew to the landing point of the sporangia and started fighting with the Abaddon fighting insects.

Zergling and Needle Crawler, who were like cannon fodder, also rushed into the city and annihilated the fighting bugs in the sporangia with an extremely brutal exchange ratio.

No one expected that the situation would reverse so quickly. No one could figure out what happened. Only Emil had her own logic.

"We must take action. The Queen must be fighting for the mortals, and her relatives are still protecting the mortals! We must fight with the Queen's relatives! As long as we show the courage and tenacity of mortals to the gods, we may be able to avoid the fate of being exterminated."

After saying that, the emir picked up his spear and ran towards the military camp outside the city with four hooves.
