After all, the fleets of the Church of Doomsday come from different civilizations. Even if they can fight together with the assistance of Swarm Network, due to the differences in equipment and training quality, it is difficult to maximize their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the situation has been unable to open up for a long time, and our own side has lost 8,000 warships, the Evans people on the opposite side have only lost less than 5,000. The laser matrix and missile tower group on the defense platform still maintain more than 90% of the firepower output.

War Cerebrate proposed to the Doomsday Church fleet that they withdraw and let Swarm fleet take the main attack.

"Great envoy of God, please give us another chance. We will break through that line of defense. The believers of the Lord will not let the Lord down." Masuk was communicating with War Cerebrate on his flagship. He hoped that War Cerebrate could give him a little more time.

The networks of Cerebrate and Masuk are only connected to the same network, and there is no distinction between upper and lower levels of authority, and Swarm is very trusting of its companions.

So even though Cerebrate's program told it that its judgment was correct, it still agreed to Masuk's request and gave him a little more time.

"Brothers and sisters of the Church! We are the vanguard of the holy war, the tip of the Lord's spear! Some of us are tortured by sickness and hunger, but it is the Lord who makes them healthy and strong; some of us are just unknown people with mediocre talents, but it is the Lord who makes their lives meaningful; some of us are old and dying, but the Lord gives them young bodies so that they can continue to live!"

"Use sword and fire to burn the land of heresy, and use its ashes to fertilize the galaxy."

"Pray to the Lord. The entire fleet will obey my orders, turn the engines to maximum, and run the weapon systems at full load! Charge towards the fleet of those unbelievers!"

At this time, Masuk was completely different from before. At this moment, he was like a general preparing to charge to his death.

Masuk was once a speculative, selfish, and hedonistic person. He was very smart and used his intelligence and despicable means to acquire a large amount of wealth. At first, he took refuge in Swarm just to enjoy a better life.

Now, as the bishop of the church, he has been swayed by the ideological trends on the Internet. He is still the same despicable, cunning and pleasure-seeking person.

But once these desires conflict with God's beliefs, he can immediately give them up and become the most steadfast believer.

"For the four-armed snake god!"

"For the Eagle God!"

"For the supreme Lord of Doom!"

"For eternity Overmind, for the great God Emperor!"

A large number of churches and believers from different cultures have fallen into fanaticism. No one has flinched, no, it should be said that no one has hesitated. Their thoughts have reached unprecedented unity on the Internet.

Sensing the abnormality, Christina immediately ordered her fleet to retreat. She looked in disbelief at the combined fleet composed of at least twenty civilizations in front of her, charging towards her without caring about casualties.

If this is the Swarm fleet, she can understand it, because Swarm is like that, they don't care about their own lives or the lives of their enemies, but this is obviously a fleet controlled by intelligent beings of flesh and blood. How can they be so fanatical? Aren't they afraid of death?

Twenty thousand Anfenli people's tree ships were sent up. Their warships had higher defenses and heavier firepower, making them suitable for engaging enemies that were about to rush forward.

When the Doomsday Church's fleet was halfway through its charge despite huge casualties.

Humanity Zhang Han, who was a thousand light years away, suddenly felt that he was trapped in a magical space, with countless thoughts and consciousnesses calling and praying to him.

At first he thought it was the trend of thought in Swarm Network. After all, the two were very similar. Then he thought it was the people of the Dalom Empire or the rat people praying to him, because the prayers were very pious.

However, the number is not right. There are at least hundreds of billions of these thoughts and consciousness bodies, which is comparable to the current Hatchery scale.

Just when Zhang Han was confused, he suddenly remembered that when Chloe activated Psionics's force field, the people of the Darom Empire had this reaction when they prayed to him in Kadian.

Amid these trends of thought, Zhang Han can still feel a strong sense of fighting spirit.

This seems very obvious. There may be people who believe in him seeking strength. Zhang Han has not figured out the source yet, but the frontline Overmind consciousness is fighting the enemy, so he must respond!

Zhang Han connected his spiritual power with the stream of consciousness praying to him, blended the spiritual power in Swarm Network into Psionics and injected it into it.

On the battlefield of Bronda, the huge Psionics force field enveloped the Doomsday Church's fleet. The boundary between Shroud and reality became blurred, and the powerful Psionics swept across the battlefield like spiritual pressure.

With the increase of the Psionics force field, the combat effectiveness of the Doomsday Church's fleet has increased. Their warships have become faster and their firepower has become stronger. When they are attacked, part of the attack will penetrate because of the virtual hull.

This scene that completely transcended reality made Christina open her mouth in surprise. She felt that her worldview that had lived for four hundred years was challenged. She is also a Psionics master, but this kind of scene is definitely not something Psionics can do!!

The fleet of the Church of Doom, which had become stronger, pierced the Anfenli fleet like a purple spear. Its momentum remained unabated, piercing the Evans fleet, and defeated the 20,000 fleets of other civilizations behind it that came to support the Great Fairy Wall.

The whole process only took three hours...

War Cerebrate also seized this opportunity and led the Swarm fleet to launch a general attack. Faced with such changes, Christina, no matter how much of a military genius she was, could not withstand it. Her entire fleet was soon divided and surrounded.

The huge defense platform is being destroyed, and the defense facilities above are engulfed in raging fire. On the flagship, the structure of the Queen Blade is still intact, but the map projected on the battlefield has turned alarm red.

Our own fleet, which symbolizes blue, is surrounded and is constantly cut into smaller pieces. The larger number of red, which symbolizes the enemy, fills the entire battlefield. Almost all warships are asking for help.

An adjutant advised Christina to ask Queen to break out with the escort fleet around him. Even if he did not abandon the capital and jump into hyperspace to escape, it would still be possible to land in the capital.

With the command of Queen, the Evans fairies on Brunda can persist in fighting for a longer time.

Moreover, there is a three-thousand-year-old Eternal Tree on Brunda, and there are also a large number of Anfenli people. Their land combat capabilities are extremely strong, and they are a nightmare for any landing enemy.

Swarm Even the planets in the first galaxy of the Great Fairy Wall have not been captured. It is even more difficult to completely occupy Brunda.

"What if I lead everyone on Bronda? What if we hold on temporarily? Will there be reinforcements? Will it change the result?" Christina's tone was cold, and her eyes when she looked at the adjutant were even colder.
