It has been the third day since natural disaster Swarm invaded Cadian. Basically all the ground fortifications have fallen, and even the strengthened super soldiers have suffered more than half of their casualties.

Even in the face of such a desperate situation, Antilians still keeps fighting.

The underground fortress where Shuiyi is located is also fighting fighting bugs in various underground passages. Shuiyi also participated in the battle as a nurse. During these few days, she deeply understood the cruelty of the battlefield and the horror of Swarm.

When she was bandaging the wounded, she could clearly see the horrific wounds caused by the fighting bugs. Some of them had entire tendons severed by Zergling's claws, and some had their arms or legs corroded by acid.

This is all pretty good, at least the person is still intact and alive.

In the morning, she treated a super soldier, who was as tall and strong as Kunzhao. His chest was hit by a steel needle shot by a bug, and his heart was pierced. Fortunately, the super soldier has two hearts.

While treating the warriors, perhaps thinking of the hopeless future, a surge of sadness surged out of Shuiyi's heart. Even the powerful super warriors couldn't stop Swarm. She was dead. She really shouldn't be willful. Wouldn't it be better to just stay on Ares and get married?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. So when she pulled out the steel needle and used treatment equipment to treat the wound, Shui Yi's tears couldn't stop flowing out.

"Valkyrie, are you crying?" the super soldier asked. Valkyrie is Antilians's honorific title for a respectable female warrior and is the embodiment of Antilians's war culture.

After asking this question, Shui Yi cried even harder. The equipment in her hand was a little unsteady, and it rubbed into places other than the wound, scalding the intact skin.

"Hiss~~It hurts." The super soldier immediately started to cry out about pain, and Shui Yi also stopped crying in a hurry and took away the equipment.

She wasn't thinking carefully at the moment. When the super soldier came here and she pulled out the steel needle with force, he didn't even cry out in pain.

The super soldier smiled, "Valkyrie, don't be sad, we are still alive, we are still here. Maybe we will die in battle in the future, but we will definitely protect you until the last moment."

Shuiyi didn't speak, holding back her tears and cured the super soldiers. She believed every word the soldiers said, these people were really the cornerstone of the empire's strength.

There seemed to be a lot of noise outside the medical room. Shui Yi calmed down the wounded, opened the terminal and saw that a Baneling blew open the door of the area, and dozens of Zergling rushed in.

This time Shui Yi was not frightened by Swarm's terrifying appearance. She took off the weapon hanging on the wall, opened the door and walked out. This time she wanted to be a real Valkyrie.

Controlling such a large-scale Swarm is also very tiring with Zhang Han's current mental strength, so he only commands the Swarm troops that have already engaged in the battle, and leaves everything else to the lower-level nodes in the combat bugs.

Antilians's fighting will really impressed him. Not only the soldiers fought hard, but also the women who took up arms to fight were very brave. There were very few people who broke down and ran away.

But the troops in the Tianping Star Territory are much worse. Even professional soldiers can only withstand half of the casualties before collapsing.

Zhang Han, who was sitting in Swarm's Leviathan, didn't care about the life and death of ordinary life. Whether they were resisting or surrendering, they were all ruthlessly killed by the fighting bugs he ordered.

He just regretted that he did not save the consciousness fragment of the first Hatchery.

After Zhang Han silently directed the battle for another hour, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Antilians's underground fortress was filled with too many explosives.

A flash of light flashed through Zhang Han's mind. If Antilians could do it, with their fighting will, they would blow up Cadian without hesitation and kill Swarm together!

The moment he thought of this, Zhang Han ordered the fighting bugs deep underground to start retreating, but unfortunately it was too late.

Zhang Han guessed right, this is the plan of Fenghuo. At the beginning of the construction of Cadian, there was a final agreement. Once the enemy can occupy Cadian, he can activate the fusion weapons and anti-matter bombs buried in various fortresses and major sectors.

The retreat of the combat bugs was immediately discovered by the sensitive Feng Huo. He had also despised Swarm before. After all, there had been situations where Swarm had left part of the Swarm fleet standing still and being beaten due to insufficient computing power.

Now in his mind, Swarm is the most cunning and terrifying enemy. Therefore, the retreat behavior of the combat bugs immediately made him feel that Swarm had discovered something, so he immediately initiated the final agreement.

It is impossible for all the precious antimatter to be used to make bombs, so the most used weapons in the agreement are fusion weapons. After Feng Huo pressed the button, the entire Cadian lit up with flashes of light, and huge mushroom clouds could rise to the atmosphere, which could be seen clearly from space.

Regardless of the consequences, Zhang Han could clearly see this shocking and beautiful picture. Almost every Cadian fortress was destroyed, and the explosions decorated the planet of Cadian very beautifully like fireworks.

Before time travel, Zhang Han could only see this kind of scene in the movie plot where big countries fired nuclear bombs at each other. The actual scene was much more shocking than the special effects in the movie.

If it hadn't killed a large number of his combat bugs, Zhang Han would have been amazed by this beautiful picture.

With a sigh, Zhang Han was relieved. This time he was careless.

Antilians's method of destroying everything killed a large number of combat bugs. Almost all the combat bugs underground were lost. Counting the first three days of fighting, Zhang Han lost 400 million combat bugs. If self-exploding mosquitoes, Zergling, and Baneling were also included, the loss would be more than tens of billions.

The loss may seem staggering, but Zhang Han is not afraid. He now has so many star systems and Hatchery that it is too easy to replenish fighting bugs. What's more, he can also colonize and transform Cadian, and the corpses of many fighting bugs can also be recovered, so the loss will not be as big as on paper.

Next time you fight Antilians, you should pay attention to it. The enemy must be surrounded. Sun Tzu will not deceive me in the art of war. Zhang Han summed it up and tried not to be bitten by a dog jumping over the wall again.

Zhang Han Although the battle damage was not very good along the way, he still defeated Cadian. Compared with him, it was obviously his first time to command an interstellar battle. Skadi's performance was much better. It may also be that the enemy Skati faced was too weak.

Skadi's mission is to attack an ordinary military galaxy, not far from Cadian, and undertake the task of transporting supplies to Cadian.

What rules this galaxy is a kind of intelligent creature that lives in the sea. It is a race that is a combination of fish and human. However, it is not a very beautiful upper-body human and lower-body fish. Instead, the fish have four limbs. By the way, in World of Warcraft, they are called murlocs.

And now Skadi is destroying the murloc fleet and massacring the murlocs on the entire planet.
