The power of the gods in the Desolate Star Field is constantly expanding, and their ambitions are also expanding. When the time is right, the shadows they cast will surely cover the entire galaxy.
Cadian, only the fierce fighting is getting more intense. In the past week, Zagara's attack has become more fierce. Zhang Han's battle losses are almost 30,000 to 40,000 Swarm fleets every day. It all depends on the intensity of the battle. In the most serious case, Zhang Han lost 80,000 Swarm fleets in one day.
The battle loss ratio between the two sides is roughly 1 to 1. According to Kundera, even in a defensive battle, Zhang Han can beat Zagara 50-50, which is already very good.
Now for Zhang Han, he doesn't want to hear any praise. He just wants to know if there is any decisive progress on Kundera's side. Zagara's positive pressure on him is too great.
Even the ruthless consciousness of Overmind feels distressed by the recent battle losses. He originally thought that holding on for more than ten days would be the limit. Zagara would definitely return to defense when he saw that he could not defeat Cadian.
Now that the high-intensity war confrontation has been going on for more than a month, Cagaat's return Swarm fleet has already been mincing meat in Cadian. If it continues, it will depend on Cagaard's fleet.
There are only two of the four meteorite fortresses left, one was destroyed and blown to pieces, and the other was occupied by Zagara and became her forward base.
After the battlefield became wider, the number of fleets invested by both sides and the intensity of the battle increased again.
Back on the battlefield, I have to say that Zagara's tactical level is really high, and his learning ability is also very fast. Originally, Zhang Han has ghost worms here, and there are Psionics Zerg units like the netherworms, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet.
After Zagara suffered a loss and discovered that Psionics Zerg was actually a ghost Queen, she found a solution, which was to use heavy firepower to concentrate the fire and kill the ghost bug in seconds.
The specific operation is like this. First use Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes to launch an attack and interfere with the battlefield. If there is Zagara at war with Hatchery, it will not hurt at all to kill Mutalisk and self-destroying mosquitoes.
Then use mental power to locate the Youworm protected by the Swarm fleet, and then use the Tusk battleship and Corruptor to launch a conventional attack. At this time, Youworm will definitely use Psionics to strengthen your own Swarm fleet.
The ultimate kill is coming, Brood Lord's plasma bombs cover it with firepower, and Swarm's Leviathan's gigabit cannon's sniper kill will kill the fragile worm instantly.
Neither Stellaris Council nor Zhang Han can do this kind of sophisticated tactics. This kind of sniping is one after another, which especially tests computing power and tactical command.
The first time Zagara performed this kind of operation, Zhang Han used Cerebrate to calculate the difference in computing power between the two parties. The result given by Cerebrate was three times. Zhang Han lacked ordinary nodes, and the disadvantage of the fleet expanding too quickly was highlighted again.
In the following days, Zhang Han urgently hatched some more Cerebrate, and also dispatched the warships of the Darom Empire, and selected loyal people in the empire to directly genetically modify them to serve as frontline nodes to provide computing power for Swarm Network.
After this series of operations, the number of worms was stabilized and they were not killed by Zagara's tactical operations.
Don't look at the fact that the worm is only evolved from Overlord. Its complex Psionics organs make its hatching price really expensive. It was killed on a large scale in the past few days, which is really distressing.
For example, You Worm is a bit like the Protoss Ding Dong with a halo that enhances the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet. It is powerful but fragile, and its price is equal to that of an aircraft carrier.
Today's battle is more intense. Zagara has sent fighting Hatchery to press forward, preparing to launch a general attack on Zhang Han's last two meteorite fortresses.
The cost of a standard combat Hatchery is about the same as two fully developed space giant hatcheries. Due to the increased mobility and defense, the hatching effect is far inferior to that of giant space hatcheries, so Zhang Han has never considered building some.
It can only be said that Zagara not only has a higher command level than him, but his background is also much higher than him.
Zagara's attack this time was also very traditional. Mutalisk and self-destructing mosquitoes were used as the lead. Youwu had to use Psionic Storm to kill these expendable units in pieces.
This is also an effective attack method discovered by Zagara. It uses human shields to consume the mental power of the worm. Zhang Han certainly does not dare to let the worm drain a large amount of Swarm Network's mental power. Otherwise, the drained Swarm fleet will become tired and sluggish, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
But Zhang Han is not without a solution. Four thousand Darom Empire warships and half a million Imperial people inside are Zhang Han's solution.
Their thinking can not only provide Swarm Network with command computing power, but can also serve as a terminal to extract the mental power of the entire empire from Tabi Star.
As long as Zhang Han is used sparingly and the people of the Dalom Empire can sleep a little longer, their mental strength will still be strong.
After an hour of consumption, Zagara's main force pressed against a meteorite fortress of Zhang Han under the cover of a combat Hatchery.
The battle has returned to the most ordinary situation, with each other exchanging battle losses and mincing meat.
The spore towers on the meteorite fortress and the battle Hatchery bombarded each other, leaving each other with craters and scars. The firepower was so fierce that if you change your perspective, you would feel that there is a never-ending rain of death fire falling on the two huge creations.
The battle between the Swarm fleets of both sides also entered a fierce battle from the very beginning. The fanged warships bit each other, Devourer sprayed hot acid at each other, and Brood Lord's incubation organs and weapon organs did not stop for a while.
In terms of the exchange ratio of the ordinary Swarm fleet, Zhang Han is at a considerable disadvantage. Fortunately, he also has Psionics Swarm.
Using the tactical skills he learned from Zagara, he launched a counterattack with a Psionics Corruptor that was enhanced by the worm.
The enhanced white light breath cut through the formation of the Zagara Swarm fleet like tachyon light, causing a large number of casualties and evening the previous exchange ratio.
Zagara also used the firepower of the plasma cannon to destroy a lot of skeletal insects, which can be regarded as moving back 10%. Fortunately, Zhang Han has suffered such losses many times, so the skeletal insects were spread out and the loss was still acceptable.
Just when Zhang Han thought that this attack would be the same as the previous few days, with both sides falling into anxiety and fighting until they were exhausted, something unexpected happened.
Cerebrate told him that the spatial structure of the galaxy seemed to be somewhat abnormal. Cerebrate, a specially set up tachyon detector, discovered gravitational wave anomalies one light-year away.
Using tachyons for long-distance detection is also the defensive secret taught by Kundera to Zhang Han. Because Swarm has super-light navigation technology, ordinary detection methods cannot detect super-light navigation at all.
Objects with mass cannot accelerate to the speed of light, and tachyons have negative mass, so they can naturally travel faster than light. Tachyons can be used to detect super-light travel.
"Hmph." Zhang Han snorted coldly. He felt that Zagara underestimated him and was just attacking with a super-light fleet.
Zhang Han himself has done this kind of thing, that is, the time he raided the Abaddon fleet and captured Abaddon alive.
Curvature engines are very expensive, and the number of fleets traveling at faster than light speeds is bound to be limited. The two sides currently fighting on the battlefield each have more than half a million Swarm fleets.
After Zhang Han made some defensive arrangements, he quietly waited for Zagara to fall into the trap he had set.
