Battle Results

The Epoch Clan had emptied its coffers to produce this wave of delta-wing fighters, and their numbers were considerable. Based on the Zerg's combat patterns, they quickly calculated new evasion formulas, giving the Drones a thirty to forty percent chance of dodging the tracking spider silk that could turn mid-flight.

The spider war-bugs had an extremely long cooldown between silk sprays, because there was simply no need to enhance that aspect. Space battles changed in an instant. If the first shot missed, the target could flee hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, leaving no opportunity for a second attack anytime soon.

Therefore, even a thirty to forty percent chance of evasion was enough for many delta-wing fighters to break through the Zerg's defenses and reach the Zerg's Star Gates still under construction.

However, the Epoch Clan's mineral reserves were truly close to running dry. Not only were these delta-wing Drones unequipped with long-range weapon systems, not every fighter even carried bombs.

According to the figures the Zerg compiled after inspecting the wreckage, only around twenty percent of the Unmanned Fighters were equipped with a kind of highly concentrated energy bomb.

Yet although these bombs were extremely powerful, destroying a Star Gate the size of a planet would likely require an astonishing number of them.

And since not every fighter carried a bomb, that figure had to be multiplied several times over. The difficulty was obvious—even Rowan could only smack his lips at the sight.

But since the Epoch Clan dared to deploy with such a configuration, they naturally had a certain degree of confidence. As their flight formations rolled and interwove, the fighters without bombs shifted to the outer perimeter, protecting the bomb-carrying aircraft in the middle and increasing their chances of passing through the Zerg battle formation.
