A Clever Misunderstanding

War Cerebrate is just a program and has no sense of logic. It will naturally execute the orders issued by No. 1 Queen without reservation.

The 40,000 Swarm fleet of the third echelon that had already set up a defensive formation was sent up. Originally, under the idea of war Cerebrate, it was best for this fleet to be sent out in batches to outflank the assaulting Chloe fleet from the rear.

However, this will cause the front to be weak, and the enemy may break through, threatening the retreating No. 1 Queen, so the war Cerebrate can only merge the fleet with the fleet of the second echelon.

At this time, the second echelon also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties from the Swarm fleet, 60,000 to 40,000, with the advantage being Chloe.

Her mental power can still support Psionics's position for five hours, which is enough time for her to defeat the enemy in front of her. Similarly, this time is also enough for Queen No. 1 to escape from the Moore III galaxy.

Before jumping into hyperspace, No. 1 Queen saw that only about 30,000 people were left in his fleet, and he was still trying his best to resist Chloe's attack and cover her retreat.

She didn't feel bad. The Swarm fleet was a tool of Node and it was necessary to serve her. It was just a pity that these troops were lost.

After jumping into hyperspace, she finally felt a sense of security. The hyperspace route was a single route that could not be turned back. Two days later, No. 1 Queen arrived at the galaxy where she set off.

The two Queen first communicated. No. 2 Queen still had some contempt for No. 1 Queen's behavior of abandoning the fleet and escaping. However, seeing the huge four-winged dragon god in the memory that was passed on, No. 2 Queen also felt a little guilty.

After discussion, No. 2 Queen incorporated the fleet of No. 1 Queen into his own fleet, and then prepared to take his own fleet to evacuate the galaxy to prevent being pursued and annihilated.

Without his own fleet, No. 2 Queen's attitude toward No. 1 Queen became much more arrogant. No. 1 Queen also dared to be angry but dared not speak out because of lack of confidence.

Chloe successfully ate up all the hostile Swarm fleets remaining on Moore III. A total of 10,000 Swarm fleets were lost, most of which were casualties caused by her lack of mental strength to disable the Psionics force field.

Despite this, a fleet of 50,000 attacked 100,000 enemy ships and annihilated nearly 100,000 enemy ships with 10,000 battle losses. The battle loss ratio is extremely exaggerated. In Cerebrate's battle damage prediction, the most optimistic result will not be so optimistic.

The Swarm fleet of Zagara is also very elite. After several confrontations, they also have an understanding of the Psionics force field, and Swarm will always evolve accordingly.

In the confrontation data collected by Cerebrate, it has been shown that the Swarm fleet of Zagara has a new evolution in the carapace. When hit by Psionics, the carapace will vibrate at a certain frequency. This vibration frequency will affect the stability of the Psionics spell, thereby reducing damage.

On the other hand, Zagara's Swarm fleet also has some Overlord that can Psionics, but the effect is far inferior to that of the worms.

Therefore, if the Swarm fleet of 100,000 Zagara is serious about fighting, even if Chloe relies on the Psionics force field to cheat, it will have to lose at least 20,000 to 30,000 Swarm fleet to achieve a narrow victory in a bloody battle.

The reasons for all this were summarized in Cerebrate's review. The enemy's fleet seemed to be covering an elite Swarm fleet of only a thousand members. In order to protect them from being attacked, they had been using rigid defensive strategies.

"Could it be that there are some important people in that fleet? Is it worth spending 100,000 Swarm fleet losses to protect it?" Chloe became confused.

At this time, her reinforcements also arrived, a fleet of 500,000 Swarm, which was large in scale and fully equipped with various types of troops. This was the reason why she dared to launch an attack.

"Stars, I have important information here..." After reuniting with the fleet, he used the communications Cerebrate and Chloe brought by the fleet to contact Stars who was outflanking the enemy's rear.

The communication in Swarm Network was very convenient, and Chloe quickly conveyed his findings and speculations.

"It is suspected that the Overlord group is preparing to supply the twin galaxies. It is worth sacrificing one hundred thousand Swarm fleets to protect the important Swarm Node..." Stars is obviously also very interested in the information transmitted by Chloe.

"The possibility that we have penetrated into the rear of the twin galaxies is indeed extremely high. The calculation results of my war Cerebrate are also the same, with a probability of up to 87%. This is the mission originally assigned to us by Overmind, and this point should be given the highest priority."

Stars expressed his opinion with a serious expression.

"What about the important Swarm Node that escaped? It deserves such protection from the Swarm fleet. I estimate that this node is the core node of the overall command of Zagara's rear. All Hatchery and guerrilla fleets are under its command, so it deserves such protection."

Speaking of this, Chloe also had some regrets. When the battle was going on, War Cerebrate reminded him that a fleet of one thousand Swarm was retreating.

But Chloe didn't care at that time. She just thought it was an insignificant piece of news. Her focus was on annihilating the enemy in front of her.

In terms of her brainpower, she was able to support the Psionics force field while commanding frontal combat without making any mistakes. It was a great effort.

"Let's see, the outflanking and annihilation plan will be carried out by my side. The troops Overmind has added to us are very sufficient and can be divided. It's up to you to go to the twin galaxies. You only need to leave a fleet of 100,000 Swarm to guard Moore III."

After thinking for a while, Stars expressed his opinion.

Although, from the position we are in, Stars's suggestion is the most reasonable and feasible. However, Chloe understands that this is a favor that Stars wants to return to himself.

Overmind has been confronting the enemy's main force in the Twin Galaxy for so long, so he must be very eager to break through. At this time, he plays a key role, which will definitely make his weight in Overmind's heart heavier.

There is no Swarm Node who does not want to be valued by Overmind. Because the siege beast Cam is a new node, he has been arranged to develop and colonize galaxies.

He was a little depressed, and sometimes he would discuss with Chloe how he missed the days of fighting in Tabi Star.

"Thank you, Stars node. I accept your kindness, and I will return this favor to you in the future." Even if he knew that this was a favor sold to him by Stars, Chloe would not let it go.

As Swarm Node, of course I have to express myself in front of Overmind when I have the opportunity. Such opportunities are rare.

"You're welcome, Chloe node. Let's arrange the tactical plan like this. I wish you great success and victory." Stars said to Chloe very generously.

"Okay, I also wish you can annihilate all the enemies and achieve a complete victory." Chloe smiled and said.
