When Chloe used Psionics to amplify Duke's voice, and his order to surrender resounded throughout the battlefield, the human army in Fort Warrior finally fell silent.
Trapped beasts still fight, let alone humans. When these defenders found that the cruel Swarm could not be defeated and they could not even escape, they actually united together and broke out with amazing fighting power.
If they had been so tenacious earlier, Swarm's victory would not have come so easily.
At this time, Duke Duke was being carried by Hydralisk and hung outside the wall of Fort Warrior. It was in this state that he just issued the order to surrender to the entire army.
Fright and fear made his whole body sweat, and his white hair shone under the sweat. After surrendering, he felt a sense of humiliation rising from his heart.
Hydralisk pulled him back to the city wall from the suspended state and threw him on the ground.
Chloe glanced at him sideways and said, "I originally considered that if you resisted, I would let Swarm eat you. If you surrender, you can survive. Now that you surrendered after resisting, what should I do with you?"
The sense of humiliation that just arose in Duke's heart immediately disappeared completely. The older one gets, the more afraid of death he becomes. A man like him, who is both lustful and afraid of death, quickly made his own choice.
"Your Highness Princess! No, Your Highness the Crown Prince! I am willing to lead the troops to be loyal to you, and I have been running the family for many years. I have served the late king all his life and have a wide network of contacts. I can call on more nobles to serve you."
Duke, who was kneeling on his knees, almost kowtowed to Chloe.
"It is rumored that you are a nobleman with strong patriotic sentiments. I thought you had a lot of backbone." Duke's humble attitude made Chloe very puzzled.
Hearing Chloe's comment, Duke's face became serious, "I think that only by living well now can we contribute to the empire in the future."
Duke's words made Chloe stare at him for a while, and then she turned to look at Swarm aside, "I don't know if you are telling the truth, but I won't kill you now, go do the work."
Duke Duke, who breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed to Chloe and stepped back.
At this time, a Roach walked out of Swarm. Chloe stroked the newly healed wound on Roach's body, looked at Duke's retreating back and said, "I still can't fully understand the complex human heart, but I know that Swarm will never betray me."
The news that Chloe Princess's army occupied Fort Warriors quickly spread, along with Swarm's fierce reputation.
According to rumors, these monsters named Swarm are very powerful. They can breathe fire and use powerful Psionics. Ordinary soldiers are no match for them.
Duke Duke's army only lasted twenty minutes under the attack of the monsters before being defeated, and half of its people were slaughtered.
The rumors are inevitably exaggerated. Swarm can't Psionics and can't breathe fire. Duke's army only killed 5,000 people, and even a lot of people were injured.
These rumors have enhanced the reputation of Princess, and also reminded everyone of Chloe's prophecy of destiny.
Because of Duke Duke's lesson, some nobles couldn't sit still, and more and more people came to Warriors Castle to pay Chloe a courtesy visit to the crown prince.
They brought troops and supplies. They represented an attitude and expressed their surrender and support to Chloe.
After some people started lining up, a siphon phenomenon occurred. The other nobles of the Western Region who did not join the team were afraid that they would be resented if they left late, so they became more active in joining the team and pledged their allegiance.
And this is also the purpose of Chloe to attack the Warriors' Fort and defeat Duke Duke, to kill Duke, the chicken, and to warn the monkeys like the nobles.
Standing on the high platform of the Warriors' Fort, Chloe looked coldly at the reception hall below the tower. The nobles of all sizes gathered together, no different from the noisy commoners in the market.
The nobles all pride themselves on being noble, but from this perspective, how different are they from the common people? Maybe it's just their origins, and there's not much difference in human nature.
The reception work was left to Duke and Jonathan. Chloe had neither time nor willingness to act in a pretentious manner with those nobles.
Ymir and Raul were appointed by Chloe to maintain order. They may seem inconspicuous, but everyone knows that they are His Royal Highness's favorites, and they have become friends with more nobles than Duke Duke.
Although I despise these nobles who tend to be in favor of others, Chloe still has to win over them.
She can defeat and kill the enemy with Swarm, but ruling a country still requires a system.
"Ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I welcome you all. Your choice is wise and wise. Only our beautiful, wise and majestic His Highness Chloe Princess is the true Crown Prince of the empire."
With Zergling and Chloe being alert on one side, the voice of Ymir can be heard clearly even if they are far away.
"As we all know, the king and queen loved His Highness Princess very much during their lifetimes, and intended to depose the current false king Robert. However, the despicable Robert and his accomplices conspired to launch a coup, exiled Princess, and killed the queen."
"Now they have killed the late king! I have some documents and evidence here. The documents record a new poison, and the inventor of this poison has an inseparable connection with the false king."
The nobles gathered around, expecting to hear some words of praise, but they didn't expect that Ymir would tell such heavy news.
Ymir was also prepared. He obviously had more than one document in hand. He prepared many copied versions and distributed them to the nobles present.
To be honest, these documents are indirect evidence and cannot completely prove that Robert was the murderer of the late king and queen, but it is enough to arouse people's suspicion.
The perspective shifts to Chloe, where a messenger is face down and kneeling on the ground.
In fact, as the second prince's messenger, he didn't have to be so humble, but after seeing those scary monsters, his knees were no harder than bones in order to get back alive.
"I didn't expect that my second brother had a hidden agenda. He was too cautious and too smart. He might not have done it himself. But does it really have nothing to do with him at all?"
Chloe looked at the bottom of the platform. After receiving the information, the nobles started discussing it noisily. The evidence indeed caused quite a stir.
"Your Highness Princess, what happened back then really has nothing to do with the second prince. Not everyone is like Robert and George, who can abandon their humanity for the sake of power!" The messenger with his head lowered defended his master.
Turning his head, Chloe glanced sideways at the messenger and said, "You are a loyal person, and the second brother is also very good at controlling people. However, I am no longer an innocent little girl. If I just believe every word of others, I will be dead long ago."
"I won't kill you. You go back and tell Arthur that I will defeat Robert and the others. There is only one heir and future king of the Altia Empire."
"It's me, Chloe·Normanov."
After saying this, the breeze blew, Chloe's blue eyes sparkled, and her long silver hair flowed in the wind.
