The mage did not answer Heinrich's words. He closed his eyes for a while, then looked at Heinrich and said, "Your Majesty is still thinking about it. General, you should perform your duties as soon as possible and control the battle situation."

The mage's words made Heinrich's eyes widen. A giant Legendary Beast brought a group of Warcraft that could capture the Warriors' Fort in one day. You want me to control the battle situation? How can I control it! Can I spray the Warcraft to death with my mouth?

Of course, Heinrich had all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, but Heinrich still did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he had to speak in a more respectful tone.

"Please tell your Majesty that the current battle situation is already better than what I predicted. At least the Warcraft did not appear behind us. Although the appearance of Behemoth is beyond imagination, we still have more than 30,000 fresh troops. As long as..."

"General Heinrich, are you teaching His Majesty how to do things?" The mage's tone and eyes were very unkind.

"I..." Heinrich had all kinds of words in his mind, but they all seemed meaningless at this moment.

He was so disheartened that he could only order the communication mage, "Let the troops in front leave 10,000 human troops blocking Princess, and all other troops turn back to resist the incoming monsters."

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Tell them to hold on a little longer, Legendary Beast is also made of flesh and blood, and reinforcements will be here soon."

It is very simple for commanders to issue orders on the battlefield, but it is difficult to judge how many orders the troops can execute, or what consequences an order will have.

For example, now, after throwing the boulder on his shoulder, Behemoth simply started to let himself go. Human swords and crossbows could not damage his skin at all, and could cut off one or two hairs at most.

Its trampling, rolling, and swiping claws can cause devastating damage to human troops. Let alone attacking it, the fear in the hearts of human soldiers will make them want to run away instinctively.

How does such an army carry out the orders given by its commander?

In addition to Behemoth, two thousand Swarm have become the gods of death on the battlefield. They can run as fast as the charging horses, and they are more agile, and the lethality of bone knives and steel needles is even more terrifying.

Swarm likes war, blood and killing. They stayed in Forest's cave all morning because of Chloe's order.

Now that they have been released, they naturally want to taste the blood on the battlefield.

The two thousand fighting bugs were divided into two groups and formed a traditional arrow formation, with Zergling in the front and Needle Crawler in the back. The Puppet Royal Army scattered on the battlefield could not stop an attack of this level.

If the puppet king's army forms a military formation to resist the impact, the fighting bugs will go around and consume them with steel needles. A thick shield can withstand steel needles, but a layer of armor cannot, and there are gaps between the armors. At a certain distance, Needle Crawler is a marksman.

When a large number of pseudo-royal cavalry try to use their numbers to surround the fighting bugs, the fighting bugs will demonstrate how to use their agility to pass through the gaps between the cavalry, and at the same time kill them with bone knives and steel needles.

It is even more impossible to block it with your body. A running fighting bug can cross a three-meter-high obstacle.

The number of fighting bugs seems small, and the visual impact is not as terrible as Behemoth, but the damage caused far exceeds that of the bulky Behemoth.

After a brief execution of Heinrich's orders, the Puppet King's army collapsed. The enemies they faced were simply beyond their ability to handle. Occasionally, one or two powerful high-level Knights could kill one or two Swarm monsters, but their results were limited to this.

The support of the magic crystal cannon has indeed arrived, but in front of Hydralisk's field of vision, the trajectory of the shells is too obvious. With Swarm Network, Chloe can even command the huge Behemoth to avoid the speeding shells.

As for the magic crystal gun troops, they do have enough penetrating power to kill combat bugs, but they have to be hit accurately. The magic crystal guns made by the indigenous civilizations that have just entered industrialization are only slightly better than muskets.

And the shooters were human beings. Look at those shooters. The timid ones would have been scared to wet their pants by the sight of fighting bugs slaughtering human beings.

Therefore, those sporadic projectiles did not cause much damage to the fighting bugs. Compared with the explosive bullets of interstellar civilization, even if the round projectiles hit, the fighting bugs can still fight as long as they do not hit the vital points.

When human beings face an invincible and terrifying existence, their emotions will collapse, just like the current puppet king's army. There were only a few people at the beginning, but now they have begun to flee on a large scale.

After Duke saw the enemy fleeing in large numbers, he became excited. He said to the soldiers around him, "I knew His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not give up on us."

He said it as if he had never doubted Chloe just like Raul and the others. Duke looked at the soldiers around him again. Now they were all scarred and panting. It was impossible to fight back.

Are you just going to let the credit slip away? He is not willing to do it. To be honest, he is very moved by Chloe's promise. He is already a duke. If the land is expanded, can a principality be established? Duke Duke, it sounds so pleasant.

An idea came to him, and he ordered to the soldiers around him, "Everyone, listen and shout with me!"

The soldiers all raised their tired heads and looked at the Duke, who was also covered in wounds.

"Allegiance to Princess! Surrender and live!" Duke stood up and shouted loudly. "No, it should be allegiance to Queen! Surrender and live!"

"Shout with me, allegiance to Queen! Surrender and live!" Duke shouted while making movements.

Slowly, the soldiers were mobilized by him, "Be loyal to Queen! Surrender and live!"

The simple slogan spread from one person to another, and then to everyone, and the rhythmic sound resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Allegiance to Queen! Surrender and live!" These words were heard by more and more people in the puppet royal army. When people are desperate, they will seize the opportunity to survive.

You can't defeat the monster head-on, and you can't escape by running away, so why not try surrendering? Some soldiers began to put down their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Gradually, more and more soldiers began to follow suit, and large areas of soldiers began to squat on the ground. Even nobles began to follow suit.

Of course, all this is seen by Chloe. In the small network, every bug is an extension of her feelings.

"Duke did a good job." Chloe praised Duke, and then ordered Swarm not to attack the surrendered Puppet Royal Army soldiers. After all, Swarm only had two thousand soldiers. Facing tens of thousands of Puppet Royal Army soldiers, it would take a long time for Swarm to kill them even if they did not resist.

When the soldiers of the Puppet Royal Army who were still resisting saw that surrendering could save their lives, more and more people began to drop their weapons and surrender. No matter how much the officers scolded them, it was useless.

In order to surrender better, some soldiers killed the noble officers on the spot, then threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground.

Robert's army is finished.
