If the 300,000 Swarm fleet breaks through the rear, Kesette's defense line will collapse immediately. His ability to maintain the battle between the Zhang Han line and the Narga line is his limit.

As a last resort, in order to reduce the defensive pressure on the planet, Kesette had no choice but to send the Swarm fleet with a hundred thousand cover mission.

I hope that we can rely on the defense towers of the fortress planet to allow the fortress planet to hold on for a while and prevent it from falling within two or three days.

This defense method is very conservative. If Chloe, she would definitely choose to put a fleet of 100,000 Swarm on two combat Hatchery, first defeat the pulling enemy ships, and then gather her forces to attack the enemy's main force from the rear.

The investment of 100,000 Swarm fleets did not have a big impact on Chloe. After dividing another 80,000 fleets to fight with it, she continued to focus on bombing the planet. She had already deployed 30 million combat bugs, and a dozen Hatcherys were incubating.

The war made her excited, especially being able to express herself in front of Overmind, which made her even more fanatical. Commanding tens of millions of combat bugs and opening dozens of battlefields, she rarely made mistakes.

When these Hatchery are hatched, Chloe will use Psionics to strengthen the fighting bugs on the ground, giving Kesette a little shock to the sea of bugs.

The multi-line command puts more pressure on Kesette's computing power.

Soon, Zhang Han discovered Kesette's defensive mistakes due to insufficient computing power. He seized this opportunity, found a safe route from the fire network, and sent a fleet of 100,000 Swarm to cross the defense line.

Once mistakes occur and computing power is insufficient, the problem will fall like dominoes.

On Nargar's side, Kesette was also caught making a mistake and lost air superiority, allowing Nargar's landing force to board the Meteor Fortress.

Seeing that all three lines of defense were likely to collapse, Kesette also tried his best. He merged with his Hatchery into one, and connected several Cerebrate to the network to increase computing power.

Within Hatchery, countless flesh and blood tubes were inserted into his body, and two Cerebrate became his external brain, improving his brain power.

The result was immediate. With the increase in computing power, Kesette's command ability more than doubled, temporarily stabilizing the battle line that was about to collapse.

The price is that he will no longer be able to survive as Viper in the future, and will either be transformed into Overlord or Cerebrate.

After his computing power improved, Kesette also clearly understood that his failure was doomed. The original plan was to hold on for ten days, but now it looks like he will lose all the Swarm fleet in 3 to 5 days.

Ten days later, he may only have one or two meteorite fortresses that have not yet fallen. With the disadvantage of being flanked on three sides, and the fact that the quality of his fleet is not comparable to that of Zhang Han, he will not be able to withstand this attack.

In the twin galaxies, Overmind's victory is only a matter of time.

On the other hand, two Queen brought their own fleet and were captured by Stars in a transit system.

In order to completely encircle and suppress this part of the enemy, Stars mobilized a million Swarm fleet to encircle and ambush from all directions. The encirclement circle was very large.

Just after entering the transit system, two hundred thousand Swarm fleets jumped in from both ends of the hyperspace channel. The two Queen were shocked to find that their way forward was cut off and they could not be beaten. They had no choice but to retreat and jump into hyperspace again.

They tried to bypass the ambush ambushing them from the hyperspace channel in the other direction. When they returned to the original star system, Stars was personally waiting for them with a fleet of 200,000 Swarm.

In other directions, Stars also arranged ambushes. In order to encircle and annihilate the enemy's core command node, Stars gave up the attack and evacuated several star systems, leaving the door wide open behind them.

In her opinion, it is worth it. As long as the enemy's core command nodes are eliminated, the efficiency of those annoying guerrilla warfare will be greatly reduced, and then the advancement will be easier, and the lost star systems can be quickly recovered.

However, if you let go of the enemy's core command nodes, there will be endless troubles.

"Lord Moraes! Help us, we are surrounded! There are many enemies, in every galaxy, and almost all hyperspace channels are blocked!" Under the desperate situation, two Queen begged Moraes, hoping for a glimmer of life.

"Huh..." Moras breathed a sigh of relief, she finally heard the information she wanted to hear.

She always remembered that her mission was to hold off for ten days and ensure the key waterway. Attacking Moore 3 and luring the enemy to surround Gurt was only the first level.

Using two Queen to attract the enemy's attention and launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression is the second level. As long as you can use these two baits to attract the enemy's attention, you will gain ten days.

The universe is so big that it is impossible to transfer the fleet that has been transferred back in a short period of time. Each hyperspace channel has its own sailing speed.

Moras calculated that even if the two Queen only persisted for one day, it would be too late for the enemy to launch another attack to cut off the Mistress' retreat to the Balance Star Territory.

"Move to the left. You still have a hundred thousand Swarm fleet on hand. Just jump into the hyperspace on the left side of the galaxy and my response fleet will be here soon."

This was Moraes' lie. In order to prevent his lying emotions from being discovered, Moraes also used Cerebrate to simulate a virtual consciousness of himself.

There will be no response fleet there. She just hopes that the two Queen can make a final effort to delay as much time as possible.

In the entire game set by Moraes, both Chloe and Stars were deceived, and the two Queen were also deceived. Moraes completed the mission assigned by his mistress without losing a single fleet of his own.

Moreover, she used a borrowed knife to kill Gurt, who threatened her position. If she hadn't suffered a huge defeat, her performance would have been perfect.

She also took advantage of Stars's mobilization of the fleet to counterattack several galaxies, destroying the Hatchery left behind by Stars in the galaxy and sweeping the planets, and achieved some results.

Moral character aside, this round of scheming was a victory for Moraes.

Ten days later, when Zagara withdrew her main fleet of three million people, she was very satisfied with Moras's outstanding performance, and she was ready to promote Moras' authority to a position second only to hers.

As for Zagara, does she know that Moras betrayed her sisters? She doesn't know. She is too arrogant to think that her children who admire her will deceive her.

And Moraes also used the old method to modify his memory.

In the false memory, she and the three Queen just wanted to lure the enemy through Gurt, who was bound to die, but the enemy was too cunning and set up an ambush, which resulted in heavy losses.
