There is no need to worry about Chen Hui and Sapphire Civilization anymore. Anyway, human nature Zhang Han has left a Psionics mark on her body, and her ending can be known at any time.
The more important thing now is to prepare for the first round of contact with tactician master Zagara.
According to the existing intelligence, Zagara divided its forces and mainly attacked Cadian. It also detached a part of the Swarm fleet with one hundred thousand Swarm, and swept inwards Zhang Han's Hatchery galaxy, hoping to attack Zhang Han's production capacity and resources.
Because a Hatchery galaxy has been lost, this information should be accurate. However, according to Kundera's experience, accurate information may not be accurate. Maybe Zagara deliberately released it.
This is not to be too cautious, or to elevate Zagara too high. With tens of millions of years of war experience, she has integrated tactics into all aspects of command.
Now, in terms of mobility, Overmind Zhang Han has the advantage, and is fully capable of detaching a part of the fleet to annihilate the Zagara fleet of one hundred thousand Swarm.
But Overmind Zhang Han was not prepared to do this. On the contrary, he also brought all the fleets that had just been saved by Humanity Consciousness to Cadian, adopted a defensive strategy, and planned to trade space for time to defend.
This is also Kundera's tactical thinking. As long as I don't want to win, I will not lose. I will first be invincible and then win.
The rear will first use their production capacity to resist step by step, and then delay. Kagart is close, and they will be able to return support soon. Behind them is Kagart's largest Swarm fleet.
Soon, the third Cadian offensive and defensive battle started, with Overmind Zhang Han defending and Zagara attacking.
At the exit of the hyperspace channel, Zhang Han, who had been prepared for a long time, prepared four meteorite fortresses to block the door, each with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers. They were covered with spore towers, plasma towers, and Hatchery that were specially designed to incubate Zergling, Baneling, and self-destructing mosquitoes.
It is designed to fight a war of attrition and become a solid forward fortress.
If Kundera hadn't been beheaded before, Zhang Han himself would have wanted to fight Zagara himself on the front line.
The early warning of the reconnaissance Cerebrate did not deviate for a second. With the distortion of conventional space, the Swarm fleet of Zagara arrived.
The first ones to rush out were not a large number of fanged battleships, but Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes that filled the starry sky. These Mutalisk were special. They were larger, more flexible, and had thicker armor.
Many self-exploding mosquitoes hang on Mutalisk's body like pendants, like missiles. This seems to be a new way of combat, and Zhang Han has never seen it before.
Want to use Mutalisk and self-exploding mosquitoes to open up the situation? How is this possible?
The Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes all over the sky were quickly hit hard by intensive firepower. The spore towers and plasma towers on the meteorite opened fire, blocking the Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes like a wall.
The firepower of Psionics Corruptor and Brood Lord is not that effective, because the target unit is too small, and their firepower is excessive, like using a single-shot rifle to hit a group of sparrows in the sky.
No matter how thick the wall is, there are gaps. There are always some Zagara, Mutalisk groups and self-exploding mosquitoes that can pass through the gaps and pass through the fire net.
They show off their superb flying skills in the universe, flying among acid bombs, plasma cannons, and high-speed spikes. If they are not careful, they will be shot down, and not even the meat residue will be left.
Hundreds of Mutalisk passed through the fire net and entered the sky above a meteorite fortress at a very high speed. They spread their wings and dropped the self-destructing mosquitoes hanging on their bodies. Not long after, they were corroded into green scum by an acid bomb.
The separated self-exploding mosquitoes directly hit the nearby spore tower. Strangely, the impact did not produce a huge explosion, but turned into a thick green spore fog that enveloped the large spore tower.
This is a war strategy of Swarm. The effect of green fog spores can shield electromagnetic waves and various signals, making the target area difficult to see clearly, and at the same time interfere with the power of long-range weapons to a certain extent.
Many spore tower entrances were blocked by sticky green mist spores, making them unable to attack for a short period of time.
Zhang Han was stunned when he saw this approach, and his attention immediately turned to the exit of the hyperspace channel. The killed Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes also exploded a large number of green mist spores. At first, because the number was small, they were quickly destroyed by the barrage.
The scale of the green mist is now very large, blocking the entire exit of the hyperspace channel. Some areas where the spores are densely packed have also hardened, providing cover for the attacking Zagara Swarm fleet.
"What a great trick for Zagara to turn a critical battle into a positional battle..." Zhang Han said with emotion.
The loss of Mutalisk and self-exploding mosquitoes is not a big deal. These two units are a bit like the flying Zergling and Baneling. They stand out for their flexibility, large quantity and full control.
It uses the characteristics of numerical suppression and flexibility to attack the enemy. The disadvantage is that it is relatively fragile and can be easily destroyed by a large range of heavy firepower.
Under the exquisite operation of Zagara, the advantage of Zhang Han is not so great. Zagara only loses the Mutalisk that can be quickly replenished and the self-exploding mosquito, and has a simple terrain advantage.
Due to the interference of green mist spores, Zhang Han can no longer detect the exit of the hyperspace channel, and much of its firepower has been weakened by the green mist spores.
The thick green mist spores occupied an increasingly larger area. The three-hour saturation barrage only killed Mutalisk and self-exploding mosquitoes, but made the green mist spores grow five to six kilometers thick.
It's wrong to continue fighting like this. Once the green mist thickens to a certain level, Zhang Han's advantage of using the meteorite fortress to block the entrance will be exhausted.
If on the ground, Zhang Han can use blood mist to quickly decompose green mist spores. In space, Blood Mist Insect cannot survive.
What method can be used to quickly kill a large number of green mist spores? The speed of removal must be faster than the speed of their expansion.
Cerebrate accelerated Zhang Han's thinking, and after ten minutes, he came up with a solution. If the green mist spore was an unknown substance, it might be a lot of trouble, but the green mist spore is something that Swarm is familiar with and uses it very widely. Swarm knows its genes very well.
There are two methods to quickly eliminate them. The first option is to use the virus Plague designed by Abaddon and spread it into the spores. Because the green mist spores are very densely packed together, Plague can spread quickly without touching the outer space. The killing efficiency is once and for all.
Just do this, the removal speed will be slower, and it will take time for the disease to develop.
So Zhang Han plans to use plan two, using Psionic Storm to remove green mist spores. Swarm fully knows where the weaknesses of the green mist spores' gene chain are.
As long as Psionic Storm is used properly, it can completely produce a large-scale death and withering effect, causing the green mist spores to die in pieces.
Zhang Han used thought acceleration to optimize Psionic Storm and uploaded Swarm Network to teach all Swarm units that knew Psionics.
The worms appeared on the battlefield for the first time. Under their control, Psionics turned into a white thunderstorm, and it only took more than ten seconds to clear the starry sky contaminated by green mist spores.
