No longer focusing on specific data, Chloe devoted his mind to the frontal battle.

She arranged her 150,000 Swarm fleet into an enveloping formation, and pounced on the 40,000 Zaire fleet in front of her like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

According to Cerebrate's calculations, as long as they can surround them, it will only take three hours at most to annihilate the Swarm fleet of only 40,000 people.

Zaire's left wing and Chloe's right wing collided together. After the actual exchange of fire, Chloe found that Cerebrate's calculations were too optimistic.

Zaire's fleet is very flexible. Chloe does have a strength advantage, but it is unable to complete the encirclement. Chloe's superior strength can only exert half of its firepower.

The reason lies in the composition of Zaire's fleet. There are almost no Brood Lord, but almost all Corruptor, Devourer, and Mutalisk. Such a composition of arms actually has poor frontal combat effectiveness, but its mobility is much stronger.

Unless Chloe gives up on the slow worms and Brood Lord, it will be unable to catch up and will have to engage in a boring exchange of fire with Zaire.

On the other side, Chloe's left wing and Zaire's right wing had completely different battle situations. Cerebrate established a defensive formation like a textbook in the war, hoping to engage in attrition exchanges with Zaire's Swarm fleet.

Zaire's right wing, composed of a large number of fang battleships, Brood Lord and self-destructing mosquitoes, immediately began to break through, not caring about casualties at all, trying to quickly annihilate the left wing of Chloe.

Thanks to the Psionics provided by Youworm, the combat effectiveness of the Chloe Swarm fleet was increased. This quality advantage allowed the war Cerebrate command to be rough and rigid, but still block Zaire's fierce attack.

Zaire marveled at the tenacity of the fleet commanded by Chloe. Although the commander was so clumsy and immature, he was still tenacious and unyielding. The Overlord who knew how to Psionics was very interesting. Unfortunately, the mistress did not fully understand the theory of Psionics and was unable to hatch similar troops.

Her original intention was to contain and break through at the same time, and then attack from both sides. Now it seems that it is impossible to do this. She can only delay the time and wait for Moraes to enter the field in order to reverse the situation of the battle.

Chloe was in a very uncomfortable position. With twice the force, she was unable to make a quick victory and was instead restrained. Her hair and those Neural Thorn were floating up. She put all her mental power into commanding, but she still made frequent mistakes.

The enemy's Corruptor was so good at being able to move near and far, and was flexible, that it pulled Chloe painfully. She was like a strong man, with no strength at all, but was dragged into a deadlock by a short man using his flexible body skills.

War Cerebrate also cannot give a good solution. Their suggestion is to maintain the status quo and consume the enemy.

Because Chloe has advantages in strength and quality, even if the tactics are restrained, the battle loss ratio is still acceptable, about 1:1.2. It is certain to continue to fight and annihilate the enemy.

But this result is difficult for Chloe to accept. She is a proud and arrogant person, and it is difficult to accept defeat. If the strength of both parties puts her at an obvious disadvantage, then she will feel better. But with such a huge advantage, she cannot accept the result of annihilating the enemy.

This was obviously not her victory but a defeat. The enemy blocked her for a long time with a weak force and caused a considerable amount of damage.

The Neural Thorn on her head was shaking faster and faster, and her mood became more and more anxious and angry. The Swarm fleet under her command was also infected by this emotion, and fought more feverishly, regardless of casualties.

Soon, this was discovered by Zaire, "Hey, it seems that the command node on the opposite side has just been hatched. He has a bit of a temper and looks angry. If anger is useful, what else is there to do with tactics?"

Taking advantage of Chloe's anger, Zaire found several more flaws and achieved a better battle loss ratio in a small area.

Yes, in the normal real world, emotions occasionally bring certain effects, but weapons, ammunition, armor, and death are all objective and real. It is impossible to bring about a huge increase in strength and defeat the enemy just because of emotional anger.

Passion and bravery are indeed very touching, but what defeats a superior enemy with a disadvantage is often something deeper, such as organizational constitution, depth of mobilization, and tactical wisdom.

"The great four-winged dragon god, the great Overmind who is superior to Swarm." As the empress of the Dalom Empire, Chloe is naturally also a loyal believer of the dragon god, or Overmind, and a fanatical believer.

"Your faithful servant prays to you, that my eyes may shine with the light of your judgment, that my hands may hold the wrath of your wrath, that our power may destroy all enemies that stand in your way."

Chloe followed the internal passage and rose to the surface of Swarm Leviathan, standing on top of its head. From this position, she could better look directly at the Dragon God's enemies and vent Overmind's anger.

A mysterious and mysterious power was injected into Swarm Network through Chloe, and then infected all Swarm fleets in the galaxy through Swarm Network.

The Psionics output of the worms suddenly increased to a higher level, and the purple Psionics seemed to begin to materialize, covering the entire Swarm fleet.

Chloe standing on top of Swarm Leviathan is even more exaggerated. She turned into a purple giant, exuding a powerful and substantial Psionics.

Zaire, whose attention never left the battlefield, immediately observed this phenomenon through reconnaissance Cerebrate. She didn't understand or what it meant?

Soon she discovered that the sublight speed of Chloe's Swarm fleet had become faster, 20% faster than before!

Before she could be surprised, several purple Psionics beams pierced her Swarm fleet like spears, and dozens of biological ships were killed and pierced.

"What the hell is this! Can Psionics do this?!" Zaire's cognition was greatly challenged.

Chloe's Swarm fleet was completely infected by her emotions. They completely agreed with Chloe's thoughts, and they strongly hoped to use their own strength to kill the enemies in front of them for Overmind.

The balance of combat power was crushed instantly. Zaire's Swarm fleet was completely surrounded and was being massacred by Chloe's Swarm. Yes, massacre.

A heavy tusk battleship can survive two plasma bombardments from Brood Lord under the protection of Psionics, and then be knocked out half of its body by Corruptor, and still be able to fight.

Its broken body was woven with life-support organs from Psionics, so that before it died, it still used its pair of fangs to kill several Corruptor.

Zaire's Mutalisk is even more scraping. The missiles they fired can no longer even drop self-detonating mosquitoes, and are completely useless.

On the left and right battlefields, Zaire's Swarm fleet completely collapsed.
