"This habit of preparing both front and back is somewhat similar to Zagara. In terms of ability, Moraes is a good prospect." Laplace concluded.

"Then, do you mean to agree to her surrender? But will it betray the logical consciousness of the core node and be trustworthy? Will it have a bad ideological impact on Swarm Network." Zhang Han asked with some worry.

In fact, Zhang Han can pretend to make Moraes surrender, and then kill Moraes after Zagara is eliminated. This problem will be perfectly solved.

However, such behavior is also betrayal, and it is not good for such thoughts to settle in Swarm Network. This incident will make Swarm feel that Overmind can deceive, and words can be ignored, which will have a worse impact on Swarm Network.

Without thinking much, Zhang Han told Laplace his worries, and received a sly smile from the old man in return.

"As long as it's not the promise made by Overmind, wouldn't it be fine? The command node at the front used tactics to deceive the enemy and eliminate the enemy. This is a legitimate behavior."

In an instant, Zhang Han understood what Laplace meant. He wanted to take over the command and pretended to be Overmind to make a promise to Moraes for her surrender.

From a mental point of view, Laplace can pretend to be the real Overmind, not to mention that he himself is the first generation Overmind and has very rich experience.

"Moreover, Moraes must die. Although she is a capable and good seedling, she puts her own life and interests above the Swarm group. The greater her ability, the greater the threat. The first Swarm civil war was because there were too many nodes like her."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, do what you want, and I will transfer the highest authority of Swarm Network to you." After saying that, Zhang Han was about to submit the network authorization, but unexpectedly it was rejected by Laplace.

"There is no need to go to such trouble. I can just create a conscious clone. Swarm Network was invented by me. It is too easy to deceive an ordinary Swarm Node in this regard."

In the end, Zhang Han and Laplace's clones performed a false performance in front of Moras, with Zhang Han acting as the command node on the front line and Laplace acting as the descending Overmind.

Then Laplace promised Moraes in the name of Overmind in Swarm Network to accept her surrender and guarantee her safety, as long as she can fulfill her promise.

With this guarantee, Moras was completely relieved. In the history of Swarm, not to mention Overmind, even the core nodes under Overmind have never broken their promises, and this is a promise witnessed by Swarm Network.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Han's consciousness left here and handed over the highest command of the front line to Laplace's clone. He was a little worried about whether a simple consciousness clone could take on so many tasks.

Worried, Zhang Han looked at his resume and suddenly discovered that Laplace was not only an outstanding scientist, but also an energetic and visionary politician, a military strategist with unconstrained ideas and good at attacking, and an artist with unique taste and his own style, who was good at hundreds of musical instruments.

What else is there to say? Just give the task to such a heroic node and let him Zhang Han just lie down.

There were no surprises in the three-day offensive battle. Laplace commanded the Swarm fleet to attack according to the plan given by Moraes. However, after breaking through the defense line and gaining a decisive advantage, the three Overmind bodies commanded by Zhang Han suddenly beheaded Moraes.

Everything was so smooth and natural. Even Zagara and Swarm didn't notice anything strange. They just thought it was Moraes' stupid command that led to the current result.

It may be because Zagara has really reached its end, and his subordinate nodes, especially those who joined Moras midway, have expressed their willingness to surrender to Zhang Han.

As for the nodes that Zagara personally hatched, few of them resisted until the end, and many expressed their willingness to surrender.

For Zhang Han, who already lacks grassroots nodes, he is naturally willing to accept their surrender. It can be said that no one will refuse as many as they come. However, they must go through the memory check and Swarm Network's screening.

Even though their consciousness is not strong, it will not affect Swarm Network too much. But for the unity of Swarm Network, it is right to be cautious.

Zhang Han also wants to see an old acquaintance, Kesette, in this batch of nodes. He did not take Gurt under his command. Kesette is also a talented person and can be used.

As a result, Zhang Han was extremely angry and shocked. Moras killed Kesette and all his nodes on the charge of colluding with the enemy and escaping from the battle.

Moraes really deserved to die, and what was even more damning was that she died so easily, so easily!

Yulong 2, the nameless Swarm Node, assembled its entire Swarm fleet, totaling 500,000, and relied on the fortifications left by Stellaris Council to block the exit of the hyperspace channel and continue to fight against Zagara.

She was obviously an unknown person, but her tenacity far exceeded Zagara's imagination. She thought that in two to three days at most, she would be able to conquer this galaxy.

As a result, she has just opened up the situation now. Before, she could only deploy a fleet of hundreds of thousands of Swarm at the exit of the narrow hyperspace channel.

As the galaxy chosen for the Stellaris Council fortress plan, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The original purpose of Yulong 2 was to block the natural disaster Swarm, and the two fortress planets blocked the exit of the hyperspace channel.

At this moment, every Swarm biological warship sailing out of hyperspace will be attacked by various defense towers on the two planets. Blue plasma covers the exit of the channel like a meteor shower.

On the outside of the channel, there are still 150,000 defensive Swarm fleets that are destroying the Zagara fleet entering Yulong 2 from a third angle. Only the Swarm biological battleships with the last carapace and larger size can hold on longer.

A 1:1 battle loss, even though this was because Zagara's fleet was at a disadvantage, she still found it difficult to accept that such an ordinary Swarm Node really blocked her.

Her Cerebrate calculations revealed that in three days, she would be able to break through the defending Swarm fleet and expand the exit of the hyperspace channel, allowing her to invest about 300,000 Swarm fleets into the galaxy.

At that time, her advantage will rapidly expand until she takes over the entire galaxy.

Overall, her plan was disrupted, and the Yulong 2, which should have been insignificant, became a stumbling block for her.

At this time, the most critical bad news came. Moraes in the rear was lost. She only defended it for three days! In just three days, the solid defense line guaranteed by Moraes was broken through, and she was defeated and died.

Perfect plans always have all kinds of surprises.
