Kagar is also studying Shroud and Psionics, but the research progress is relatively slow. Thinking that there are so many smart Swarm Node, there must be some who have fully understood Psionics Theory.

When the new Overmind is born, all Swarm Node will return to Great Swarm Network and just share the technology, Kagar will no longer work hard.

"Kagat must have been lucky. He just happened to break Psionics Theory. It must be like this." Kagar simply doesn't believe that Node, which uses Roach as a carrier, can be so smart. If Cerebrate, he can still accept it.

Kagat, Swarm Fleet, all Brood Lord, Psionics Corruptor, combined with a large number of Ghost Bug, have extremely strong firepower.

One hundred thousand versus twenty thousand, but the battle loss was 2 to 1.

After several actual battles, Ghost Bug has become more precise in controlling Psionics. In the past, it could only cast Psionics Enchantment and Psionics Barrier mechanically, but now it can almost shape Psionics like the experienced Psionics Mage.

For example, use Psionic Storm pieces to kill Scourge, and combine Psionics Barrier into a composite structure for stronger defense. Facing the oncoming Fang Warship, you can pinch Psionics into a long needle, pierce it through its weak eyes, and then detonate its brain.

The larger the Swarm is, the more Psionic Power is inside, the more Ghost Bug is extracted, and the stronger the Psionics spell is released.

Swarm Network makes Ghost Bug's learning cost extremely low. Once one Ghost Bug discovers a new technology, all Ghost Bug will soon know it.

The most effective assault of a large number of Fang Warship did not open up the situation quickly, but suffered heavy losses. Psionics Corruptor's White-Light Breath, Brood Lord's heavy acid cannon, and Ghost Bug's Psionics piercing can all instantly kill the small and medium-sized Fang Warship.

Kagar Hydralisk's fangs were clenching. He had a superior force in frontal command and was defeated by Kagat. This was an insult to him.

In order to improve his command level and achieve a better battle loss ratio, Kagar connected his brain to two Cerebrate, squeezing his brainpower to the maximum load.

Immediately afterwards, he sent his most elite Swarm Leviathan, Devourer, and Fang Warship, which were as big as Leviathan, to make the battle damage look much better, reaching 1:1.

The special role of Ghost Bug in Kagat Swarm Fleet was also discovered by Kagar, who began to focus on attacking Ghost Bug.

Just because we learned the lesson from Cerebrate Star System last time, Ghost Bug is now protected so well that Kagar's key attack has limited effect.

Suddenly, Overlord, one of Kagat Swarm Fleet, sent a message to Kagar.

"Even the superior force cannot annihilate me. Kagar, your level has declined. Maybe you were just lucky and got third place in the simulated battle. Maybe when the new Overmind appears, they find that your level is too poor, so they will directly invest you in Digestive Cavity."

Signature--Smart Specialized Roach Kagat.

After Kagar received this message, before he could get angry, the Swarm Fleet of Kagat in front of him began to retreat slowly and jumped into Hyperspace.

One of his fangs was bitten off by Kagar, and he understood Kagat's plan.

With 20,000 Swarm Fleet, he attacked the Star System stationed by him with 500,000 Swarm Fleet, achieving a battle loss ratio of one to two. After the situation started to go unfavorably, he was able to retreat smoothly.

Kagat didn't come to him to fight! He came to him to improve his record!

If Queen Zagara wins and becomes Overmind, we can see such a war process in Swarm Network.

What would Zagara, who is known as Tactical Master, think of Kagar? Will he think that he is a useless Node, incapable of commanding a Hatchery?

What a calculation! Thinking of this, Kagar felt suddenly enlightened. This was because Kagat wanted to step on him to prove himself.

No, you have to eliminate the Hatchery of Kagat, otherwise your future will only be the unknown ordinary Swarm Node.

War Cerebrate sent a tactical analysis to Kagat. Two of the five Cerebrate supported the elimination of Kagat, and three believed that this was Kagat's enemy tactic to lure Kagar into pursuit.

Lure the enemy? This possibility is actually the highest! Kagar fell into hesitation. What if he really went to attack Kagat's Star System in anger, but couldn't beat him?

Kagat, who has thoroughly understood Psionics Theory and applied Psionics to actual combat, is not easy to fight. Just now he lost 30,000 troops with superior strength to destroy Kagat's fleet of 15,000.

Cerebrate has calculated that Kagat can only be defeated with three times the number of troops. Now there may be one hundred thousand Swarm Fleet among Star System of Kagat.

Should we fight or not? Kagar hesitated, and he asked Cerebrate to start calculating the consequences of various situations.

This caution is right and very smart.

Unfortunately, because Zhang Han attacked and integrated the two Hatchery so quickly, the battle ended within one day. Most Hatchery did not know that a person calling himself Overmind had arisen.

The calculation requires complete information. Later, Cerebrate told Kagar that even if he couldn't defeat Kagat's Star System, he could still return it with little loss.

If he wins, he can save his shame. If he doesn't win, he won't lose much.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kagar led three hundred thousand Swarm Fleet towards Kagat's Star System.

There is indeed a trap in Kagat's Star System. Zhang Han's three hundred and fifty thousand Swarm Fleet are all here. If the plan goes well, this will be an encirclement and annihilation battle with minimal battle losses.

Cerebrate has detected the vibration of Hyperspace, Kagar has taken the bait, Zhang Han now needs to hide the main force and wait quietly for ten days until the prey jumps into the trap.

Coiled Serpent System, Johnny and several followers met Joey and Terrell at Spaceport. He was very much looking forward to what good news they could bring him, such as Overmind's new instructions.

He put his plan in Joey's mind, and Overmind knew everything as long as he looked it up. Of course, Joey didn't know it, because he and Terrell had already been transformed.

Suppressing his excitement, Johnny tentatively asked Joey if the journey went smoothly and if the pirate leader had anything to convey to him.

"Ah? That's not true. The pirates were very busy. They just collected the supplies, filled the cargo ship with Nutrient Fluid and then disappeared." This time, the shrewd Joey obviously did not understand what Johnny meant.

Johnny's face darkened instantly. Did his actions not attract Overmind's attention?

In fact, he misunderstood. Isha was working hard to sew up Overmind's consciousness. He didn't allocate much computing power to care about the materials on the spacecraft and Slarkans above. It was all templated brainwashing.

It was Terrell who had good eyesight. He quickly pulled Joey aside and said, "Boss Johnny, we have been careful along the way and have not made any mistakes."

Ignoring Terrell, Johnny's pupils turned into crystal compound eyes and looked at the few Mengka's men who were following him.

After discovering that they were not infected and transformed by Swarm, but had only modified their memories, he became murderous.
