Duke Duke's location has been found. It's not easy to use Psionics to find the information you want to use in a person's mind. If it weren't for the blessing of a small network and Neural Thorn, Chloe really couldn't do it.

The gate of Warrior's Fort has been completely pushed open, and two thousand Swarm filed in. It was divided into two parts. One part was led by Raul and Ymir and climbed the stairs to the city wall to clean up the defenders on the city defense facilities.

The other group was personally led by Chloe and went straight to the villa area inside the fortress, with the target being Duke Duke.

The messenger stood anxiously outside Duke Duke's beautiful villa. He was an old messenger. Of course he knew what the Duke was doing inside the villa.

But now it was no longer time to worry about whether he would be wearing small shoes. As soon as he entered the small garden of the villa, he was stopped by the Duke's guards.

"I have important information and I want to see the Duke." the messenger shouted.

The guards still blocked him, and a captain came over and said, "The Duke is resting. It seems that you are not a recruit, so why don't you even wink at all?"

"The Warriors' Fort has been attacked by a group of unknown monsters. They attacked the camp outside and are still attacking the city gate. Inform the Duke quickly, it's too late!" the messenger shouted hysterically.

The location of the villa area is very good, and the battlefield is relatively far away. Except for the occasional sound of cannons, it is completely peaceful here.

In the final analysis, Swarm's attack was too fast, and the human command system simply could not keep up.

Traditional human wars in this era cannot control the time accurately to the hour, but Swarm can control the time accurately to the millisecond because of the assistance of the network.

The roar of the messenger made the captain of the guard very confused. He did hear a few cannon shots, but they quickly quieted down. If it was a battle, it would not quiet down so quickly.

Should we bother the Duke for this messenger? The captain of the guard thought distressedly.

The voice of the blocked messenger became even more excited. He kept roaring and violently pushed the guard who blocked him.

Finally, his roar woke up the people in the villa.

Wearing a coat, Duke Duke stood at the door with an angry look. Through the crack in the door, you could see a graceful beauty inside, wearing a thin piece of clothing.

"What's the matter! I've told you many times that I don't want to be disturbed when I'm resting." Duke roared angrily.

His roar silenced everyone. Duke was very kind to the soldiers, but he was also very strict in managing the army. If he was angry, it was common for him to beat someone half to death with a whip.

The messenger was also frightened by the Duke's roar. When he mustered up the courage to explain the situation, a voice interrupted him.

"Isn't this Duke Duke? Your appearance is very majestic. Look, I have come to greet you."

A Zergling carrying Chloe walked over from where the messenger came, followed by dozens of combat bugs, following her like a guard.

In order to pursue speed, Chloe asked Hydralisk and Roach to lead a large force to follow, and he personally led a team of two hundred Zergling and Needle Crawler to raid Duke's villa.

Now that she has achieved her goal, she has taken control of Duke, and the Warriors' Fort can be said to have been taken.

Duke and his guards were stunned when they saw Chloe and the terrifying and numerous Swarm behind her.

No one dares to believe their eyes, these things seem to happen in the most terrifying dreams.

"Chloe Princess? Why are you here, and what are these monsters?" Duke, whose brain was shut down, refused to acknowledge the facts before him.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me, Duke Duke." Chloe said as he got off Zergling and walked towards the villa on the floor.

"This is impossible, this is impossible. How could it be possible? Isn't your army still 5 to 6 days away from here?" Duke panicked like a little girl.

It is obviously a beautiful girl walking on moss and stone slabs towards a beautiful villa. If the ferocious monsters behind her were removed, it would definitely be a beautiful picture.

Duke and others who witnessed this scene couldn't help but start to tremble. They really didn't understand why an eighteen-year-old girl had such a strong sense of oppression and murderous intent.

"For a human army, it may take 5 or 6 days. But for Swarm, one day is enough. Duke, your army is so poorly trained that it can't even stop Swarm's charge."

Chloe was walking forward while talking, and she had already reached the fence.

The messenger retreated to one side in fright. The captain of the guard, who had looked majestic just now, wanted to muster the courage to block her. But after seeing the look in Chloe's eyes and the Zergling behind her, he also stepped aside.

The behavior of the orderly and the guard captain made Duke's face turn as black as carbon. The woman behind him screamed after seeing Swarm clearly and wanted to run away into the depths of the villa.

But her scream disturbed Swarm, and a steel needle instantly cut through the air and grazed Duke's cheek. She fell to the ground and her blood dyed the gorgeous carpet in the villa red.

Chloe walked up to Duke without any hindrance. Duke was obviously taller than Chloe, but at this moment he felt very short.

If he hadn't been in a high position all year round and could still control his knees, he would have been frightened to the ground.

"What did your envoy say? Oh, by the way, I remembered it. You warned me that as a young man, I must be modest and cautious, especially to recognize my own abilities. It is not advisable to aim too high."

"That's really nice to say." Chloe joked.

Suddenly, screams sounded behind Chloe, and Zergling and Needle Crawler suddenly burst out and killed all the guards and messengers. Blood and broken corpses were spread on the ground.

The beautiful small garden of the villa became scary and weird. Duke was old. Seeing such a bloody scene, his legs could no longer support his body. He was paralyzed on the ground in fear.

"I need you to order your soldiers to surrender. Although many of them have been killed, their resistance will always cause Swarm to be injured. It will bother me if they are injured and die. Do you know?"

The reason why Swarm gave the order to massacre was because Chloe discovered that Swarm had suffered casualties in the small network. She only had these five thousand combat bugs, and she felt heartbroken even if one of them died.

What's more, through a small network, Chloe can deeply understand the pain and death of Swarm, which makes her feel that the battle should be ended as soon as possible.

Duke couldn't understand what Chloe was saying at all. In his mind, the world was changing too fast.

Just a moment ago, he was still in the woman's warm bosom, but now the woman has become a corpse, the terrifying Princess is looking down at him, and his soldiers and guards have turned into blood dye that decorates the garden.

"Surrender or die, my patience is limited." Chloe's voice was like the cold wind blowing through the polar regions.

Seeing those terrifying monsters approaching him, and the bone knives that slaughtered his soldiers were still stained with blood, Duke's spirit was about to collapse.

"I surrender! Please don't kill me! I surrender!" he shouted.
