After getting help from Harpies, Zhang Han was not polite and put them to use immediately.

Nengfei can indeed handle many complex tasks, such as drawing more detailed and accurate terrain maps; helping Venomspider to cross obstacles and build Silk Bridge; taking Drone to the cliff to build Creep Tumor.

With their help, many work efficiency has increased by 20 to 30%.

Finally, the seventh day has come. Tier Three Hatchery has been incubated, many technologies have been unlocked, and the busy infrastructure work of Swarm Civilization is about to begin.

On the other side, at the edge of Death Forest, Chloe, sitting on Hydralisk's shoulders, was gently rubbing her eyes with her hands. She was too sleepy.

Hive Mind The substance injected into her had great side effects. Not only at night, she was sleepy for half the day.

Fortunately, Swarm's physical strength is much better. On Creep, they can move forward almost without sleep. Humans are almost always marching on their backs.

Today Chloe will lead the Swarm army to leave Creep. She will bring this powerful force into Border Marquisate and demand their surrender in front of the Marquis.

Swarm are all crawling on Creep, absorbing as much energy as possible. After leaving Creep, they will no longer be able to enjoy such convenient food and energy supplies.

Chloe rubbed her eyes again, looking at Warrior Bug on the ground, she felt a trace of emotion and reluctance in her heart.

Before entering Death Forest, she took the risk just for this powerful power. Now that she has this power, she is reluctant to leave. She longs for Swarm, Overmind, and Swarm Network.

When her spirit is connected with these, she will feel satisfied and happy.

Touching Zergling at his feet, Chloe said in Small Network: "Come on, my Swarm Knights. Complete the mission of Overmind as soon as possible and return to Swarm as soon as possible."

In an instant, her words received the approval and response of all Zerg in Small Network.

In the stone bunker, Carl·Hornsos was walking hurriedly along the stairs. The news he got was too shocking. He hoped that the news was true, but was afraid that it was true.

Pushing open the door at the end of the stairs, there was a strategic conference room, where his father and some staff officers were looking seriously around the sand table.

"Father, I heard that His Highness Princess is back, and he also brought Monsters Horde among Prophecy. Is this true?" Without paying attention to the things on the sand table, Carl directly asked the question he wanted to know most.

Carl's question received no response. Everyone looked at the sand table, still looking serious.

"Father!" Carl rushed to the Marquis, "I ask you, is His Highness Princess back?"

The Marquis raised his head and shifted his gaze from the sand table to his son. He looked reproachfully at the impulsive son in front of him, and the wrinkles on his face revealed the fatigue in his heart.

At this time, Carl also realized something was wrong. He asked softly, "What's going on? What happened?"

"Lord Marquis, we'd better surrender. The gap in military strength is too big and we can't win. Even relying on fortified cities and fortresses won't work." The words of a staff officer on the side intervened.

Hearing this, the Marquis' expression relaxed, as if he was relieved. It was great that he didn't have to give orders.

The Marquis showed a smile and patted Carl on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, Her Highness Princess is back. No, maybe we should call her Lord Queen. Come with me to greet our Queen."

Carl looked confused when he heard what his father said, but before he could ask any more questions, the Marquis strode out of the conference room, and he had no choice but to run after him.

In front of Guardian Fortress, Chloe was in a very bad mood. First of all, the response from the Marquis was too slow and he didn't even send anyone to greet her.

Secondly, two Battle Mage bid farewell to her. Originally, Chloe didn't care much. Anyway, she no longer relies on the power of mages.

But after she casually asked the reason, her mood became bad. It turned out that the purpose of their farewell was to go to the Astrologers' Association to get some literature materials for their tutor Stars.

Now as long as Stars is mentioned, Chloe's mood will get worse. Every word Stars said is like a knife scratching her heart. In her heart, Stars is a despicable careerist who took advantage of her.

The irritable Chloe raised his right hand, and the whole Swarm also stood up.

Since I didn't go out to greet them, I opened the way myself. With this thought in my mind, Chloe was about to put down his hands and issue the order to attack.

Guardian Fortress Gate opened, and the Marquis came out with Carl and a large number of welcoming staff. They played music and spread the red carpet at the feet of Chloe.

Welcome Celebration held the event with great enthusiasm. The artists and performers, including the servants, suppressed their fear and performed their duties.

They didn't dare to look around because there was a dark Swarm there.

When the Marquis and the dignitaries of Border Marquisate knelt at Chloe's feet, she slowly lowered her raised right hand.

"You know what's going on, and you did a good job." Chloe didn't even let the Marquis get up, she looked at him arrogantly.

Then he walked to Hydralisk. The 3-meter-tall Hydralisk gentlemanly leaned down like a Knight, bent his arm and put Chloe on his shoulder with the smooth side of the sickle.

"Marquis, please ask your welcoming team to withdraw. They have tried very hard to hide the fear on their faces. Also withdraw the carriage. Look at those horses. Their legs are weak."

After finishing speaking, Chloe patted Hydralisk's carapace, and a Swarm team headed by Hydralisk walked into Guardian Fortress on the red carpet.

After Swarm walked away, the Marquis wiped the sweat from his forehead before standing up tremblingly. He glanced at his son behind him and said, "Do you know the answer to the question now?"

Carl's condition was no better than that of the waiters and musicians on the side. He insisted on using his own strength to stand up entirely because he did not want to embarrass himself in front of his father and Princess.

Looking at the Swarm lying on the ground all around, his eyes turned pale. That Prophecy had really become a reality. Her Highness Princess returned from Death Forest with her Monsters.

This kind of Monsters is even scarier than what was mentioned in Prophecy. Just looking at them makes chills rise from your feet. No wonder my father just said that he would call Princess Queen. It seems that there is no possibility for him and her anymore.

The Marquis didn't give Carl much time to feel melancholy. He patted Carl fiercely.

"Why are you still in a daze? We must follow immediately and listen to Queen's order."

Then he lowered his voice and said quietly, "As you can see, these Monsters are very disciplined, and the weapons on them are very lethal. Say less, do more, and throw away all your previous illusions. Don't let these Monsters become Earl's Territory's nightmare."
