Soon, several black spots appeared on the horizon. As the buzzing sound of flapping wings came from far away, everyone could see what those black spots were.

Even though most of the soldiers and servants around Chloe had close contact with Swarm and gradually overcame some of their fear of Swarm, the shock to the soul when these behemoths transported by giant flying insects appeared in front of them was still too strong.

The hill-like siege beasts were released one by one by the huge flying insects. When each one landed on the ground, the ground shook. There was no room for ten siege beasts on the top of the small hill. Only four were released and it was already very crowded.

Although the siege beast is only eight meters tall, it appears to be larger than Behemoth because it is too wide and crawls on all fours. This feeling of oppression from a giant creature makes every tiny human have the desire to escape immediately.

But they all know in their hearts that Swarm commanded by Chloe can eat people. In order to survive, the servants and soldiers kept standing hard even if their legs were shaking like a sieve.

Even Chloe felt a shocking and oppressive feeling when she saw such a big siege beast. She didn't know how to speak for a moment.

The huge siege beast No. 1 lowered his head. It seemed that he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he was worried that the breath he would exhale after opening his mouth would blow away the group of villains in front of him, so he still adopted the online communication method.

"Chloe node, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I will send our various data to you later. We will be the logistics core of Swarm and the tip of the assault spear."

Siege Beast One's tone was very proud and confident.

"Did Overmind admit that I am Swarm Node! Can I merge back to Swarm Network?" Chloe did not care about the data transmitted, but was very concerned about the title.

"I'm sorry, Chloe node, you misunderstood. I meant that you are the core node of the free network, not the node of Swarm Network."

"Ah, so that's it." Chloe's emotions were full of disappointment, "By the way, did Overmind ask you to bring me anything?"

"No."

Chloe was even more disappointed, like a little girl who had been given a date at the amusement park by her father.

"But..."

These words couldn't help but make Chloe's pointed ears twitch happily.

"The high-level node Stars told me that Swarm is now in a period of rapid development. Please don't take up too much of Hatchery's energy. You now have enough power to unify the human kingdom."

Siege Beast No. 1 said truthfully.

The ears that were shaking happily stopped and began to tremble slightly.

There were many words of grievance and reluctance in my heart, but Chloe didn't say them out. Anger and curses can't change the reality. Only by doing better will people be impressed.

"Thank you for your message, Siege Beast No. 1, I received it." Chloe controlled his emotions and stabilized himself.

"You're welcome."

"Siege Beast No. 1, do you have another name? It doesn't feel very polite to call you that all the time."

"Ah, the name is right, I need a name. It's a pity that Overmind didn't give me a name when he ordered my creation." The siege beast twisted its huge head.

"However, I can choose a name myself."

"What is the name of the most powerful god in your culture?" Siege Beast lowered his head and asked.

"Kam, the god of meteors, in myths and legends, the plain in the middle of the Altia Empire was smashed out by a meteor falling from the sky." Chloe answered truthfully.

"Yes, from now on I will be called Cam." Apparently the siege beast was very happy after having a name.

"Do other siege beasts also need to be named? I have read many religious classics and history books. I can provide some reference for names." Chloe is very interested in Swarm. It is rare to meet a wise Swarm unit, and she is also very interested.

"Them? No, no, no, no, no, no, they are too stupid, I can just command them from now on." Cam shook his head.

As if it heard Cam speaking ill of him, the other siege beast next to Cam was very dissatisfied. It raised its huge forelimb and kicked Cam.

For them, it may be just a simple fight, but for the tiny humans on the ground, it is like shaking the earth.

"Brother, you bullied me, you called me stupid." The consciousness of another siege beast came in.

"Okay, okay, brother is wrong. You are not stupid, you and them are just not as smart as me." Cam said perfunctorily.

"Huh, that's pretty much it."

The conversation between the two insects shocked Chloe. She thought that with the same appearance and the same type of soldiers, they must have the same intelligence, but she didn't expect that there was really a difference.

Cam clearly saw Chloe's surprise, and he explained to Chloe, "There is no way, logical wisdom cannot be created. Although we are all incubated as high-IQ logical Zerg units, knowledge does not equal wisdom."

"They are capable of many tasks, including commanding Swarm in operations, construction, and scientific research. But they lack a little aura in their minds, which cannot be overcome by Swarm's technology."

"Technology cannot create wisdom. If you have a way to improve the hatching rate of high-IQ logic Zerg in the future, I will definitely engrave your name into the genes of the race."

Chloe had always thought that Swarm was omnipotent. Cam's words shocked her. "This is the first time I heard this statement. I have seen so many memories of the excellent intelligent Zerg, and I have studied with Hive Mind in the Hatchery laboratory. I really feel that Swarm is a great race."

"Hahaha, Chloe node, thank you for your praise. To a certain extent, Swarm has indeed reached very high heights, but don't be proud and arrogant. Every civilized race is pursuing knowledge and wisdom under the stars. In fact, I am not smart enough. Compared with those who left their names in the history of Zerg, I am just a young bug."

After hearing Chloe's praise, Cam said he was very happy on the Internet even though he said modest words.

"Let's end the small talk. Chloe node, please read our various information carefully. Now let me demonstrate my capabilities. You have many wounded here, and we can only do our best."

After saying that, the surrounding flying insects suddenly shot out tough spider silk to stick to the siege beast, then vibrated their wings and flew high into the sky.

Ten siege beasts were placed on the plain by flying insects under the fearful eyes of all humans.

They extended their limbs and dug into the soil, like a small mountain bag. The carapace on their back spread out in all directions, revealing the small Hatchery Pool inside.

The slimy Creep begins to slowly spread around. Creep will digest the corpse and nutrients under the ground. Sunlight also provides nutrients to Hatchery Pool through the photosynthesis of Creep.

"Chloe node allows your soldiers to drink the nutrient solution of Hatchery Pool, which will make them recover quickly," Cam said.
