Reorganization

The Zerg did not need to clear every minefield. They only needed to carve out a safe route for their forces to advance through. However, relying on their vast numbers, the Zerg opened hundreds of millions of such mine-clearing routes at once.

It sounded like a lot, but spread across a border stretching less than several thousand light-years, there was still some distance between each route.

Even so, it left the Epoch Clan overwhelmed. This meant they had to organize an equal number of forces to halt the Zerg's advance.

Although the Epoch Clan's main guns were immensely powerful, maintaining that lethality meant they primarily dealt penetrating, single-target damage. They were not particularly effective against the web-like structures of the Mutant Ancient Class.

In fact, because the Ancient Class had been stretched so thin and narrow, the artillery often passed right through the gaps. Even when it struck a Mutant Ancient Class, there was a high chance that the impact would be too weak to detonate the shell.

Vast stretches of minefields were discovered. Left with no choice, the Epoch Clan could only detonate them remotely. Void Mines were still extremely powerful at close range, especially against Ancient Class units in their current state, which had virtually no defenses. Great webs formed from Ancient Class units were destroyed.

But such losses were insignificant to the Zerg. New Ancient Class units quickly filled the gaps, while part of the Epoch Clan's minefields had already been cleared.

The Epoch Clan quickly realized how powerless their main guns were against enemies like the Mutant Ancient Class and immediately switched to a new attack mode, allowing the shells to detonate on their own after reaching a certain range.

Using the minefields to gauge distance, the Epoch Clan's strikes were highly accurate. Explosions blossomed before
