The powerful Psionic Storm not only cleared the green mist spores, but also instantly killed a large number of Mutalisk and self-exploding mosquitoes. The Swarm army that seemed to be able to cover the endless starry sky just now was instantly wiped out.
After his vision became normal, something beyond Zhang Han's expectation entered his field of vision. As Mutalisk, self-destructing mosquitoes and green mist spores bought enough time, a large number of Zagara's main Swarm fleet entered the regular universe.
Inside the Zagara Swarm fleet there are three huge 'Hatchery', each with a diameter of thirty kilometers.
This is a battle creation specially evolved by Hatchery and Swarm, which is different from Swarm Leviathan.
It can be regarded as a mobile Swarm planet. As long as the stored eggs and energy are not exhausted, the energy will continue to hatch Swarm units and supply Swarm.
The defense of Cadian will turn into a brutal and lengthy war of attrition.
Zhang Han's Swarm fleet relied on the meteorite fortress, and Zagara's Swarm fleet fought against Hatchery. The two sides began a boring exchange of fire.
The exit of Cadian's hyperspace channel is not large. In terms of formation, the Swarm fleet of Zhang Han compresses the Swarm fleet of Zagara at the exit of the hyperspace channel.
The scale of the battlefield is not large, and both sides can only ensure that the fleet of 200,000 Swarm is at war.
In terms of troop quality, Zhang Han is superior, and the meteorite fortress has a large number of defensive buildings and firepower. Zhang Han also has an advantage.
But in terms of the battle situation, the two sides are basically evenly matched. Zagara's fleet is obviously more flexible, has better tactical command, can avoid more damage, and produces stronger output.
This is not only because Zagara has a higher command level, but also because she has more logical nodes and higher computing power. Swarm Network can better assist Swarm in fighting.
Zagara tried to use 20,000 tusk warships to attack the weak direction in an attempt to open up the situation, but without the cover of the green mist spores, Zhang Han quickly discovered this attempt and blocked the wave of attacks with the same number of tusk warships.
This wave of flesh-and-blood collision and fighting lasted for several hours. Zhang Han won this battle with the help of Psionics Enchantment and his gradually improving command level.
After annihilating all the tusk warships of Zagara, he still had three thousand tusk warships left, gaining a battle damage advantage.
This result has greatly improved Zhang Han's confidence. Zagara is known as a master tactician, but he will also fail. On the one hand, his progress is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Zhang Han has a large number of worms supporting the Swarm fleet. In the face of the absolute strength gap, there are not many things that excellent tactics can change.
A war of attrition is beneficial to Zhang Han, as he can learn and improve during the battle. On the other hand, Kundera also has more time to fight Swarm of Zagara.
Detective Overlord shared his vision with Zhang Han, and he could see Zagara with a broken tooth standing on an unusually huge Swarm Leviathan among Zagara's densely packed Swarm fleet, looking at the entire battlefield.
"Come on, Zagara, let's fight. I still have many Swarm fleets. This battle will last for a long time. I will let you see that compared to you, I am stronger and more qualified to become Overmind." Zhang Han said to the figure of Zagara with confidence.
Zagara, who is above Swarm Leviathan, also finds it difficult. This fragment of consciousness of Overmind is very good at defense and must have learned experience from Kundera.
On the other hand, his units are also more powerful. The Overlord that can Psionics are very troublesome, which greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet.
It seems that a short-term breakthrough is no longer possible. Zagara just received another message from Hatchery. Kundera's attack is very fierce and her time is getting less and less.
"Hold on a little longer. Very few Swarm Nodes can maintain high-intensity command for a long time without making mistakes. At least, no Swarm Node can surpass me in commanding right now."
Zagara also decided to spend more time here with Zhang Han, while at the same time pulling in a support fleet from the star gate.
Far away from Cadian, Queen Zaire is commanding the one hundred thousand Swarm fleet entrusted to her by Zagara to attack Zhang Han's Hatchery galaxy. This galaxy is very empty, with only a small number of newly hatched Swarm fleets.
Zaire quickly eliminated them and then began a landing operation. Unfortunately, the landing operation was not as final as a space battle.
The scale of Hatchery on this planet is very large, and there are many and tight underground passages. The most important thing is that their fighting insects are very powerful. The Swarm that landed on Zaire is no match for it.
In order to open up the situation, she had to let Corruptor enter the atmosphere and conduct low-altitude bombing to provide cover for landing Swarm.
Her three million landing combat bugs are being besieged by ten million defensive combat bugs. The battlefield is located in a hilly area and spans one to two million square kilometers.
Defending Swarm relied on the passage under the hills to deploy troops at high speed and attack Zaire's Swarm from various unexpected angles.
The superposition of many factors, coupled with the larger number and stronger combat effectiveness of the defending Swarm, and the help of Psionics, the fighting bugs defending Swarm are more than twice as powerful as Zaire's ordinary fighting bugs, making it very difficult for Zaire to deal with it.
On the hill, the jets on both sides of the Corruptor shot out a large number of needle-shaped Baneling, plowing through the attacking Zergling, Roach, and Hydralisk. After repelling the attack from one side, Zaire finally stabilized its position and established the first Hatchery.
Without air superiority, she couldn't even hold a solid position.
Brood Lord and more Corruptor were also sent down, and began to clear out the spore towers and other defensive buildings on the planet bit by bit. It will probably take more time to occupy the entire planet.
"Zaire, why are your progress so slow? Zagara Mistress wants us to act quickly. If you move at such a speed, I will be reprimanded by Mistress."
Swarm Network contained a complaint, a slightly reproachful and sarcastic message that reached Zaire's mind.
"Moras! Don't use Mistress to oppress me. We have the same node authority. If you want to make sarcastic remarks, why not come and help." Zaire was not used to what Moras said and immediately retorted.
"I can't be exposed either. Have you forgotten the plan? I am an ambush and you are the bait. You are responsible for attacking Hatchery and handing over the galaxy to me for development. I will provide you with support and cover." Moras said casually.
"If you are surrounded or fall into a trap, it will be my turn to save you. Therefore, I will not step in to help you and expose myself."
"I didn't let you expose your fleet. It's also helpful for you to use Cerebrate to provide me with more computing power. It's better than just watching." Zaire said still angrily.
