Seeing that Hatchery could be hatched on the Meteor Fortress, in order to open up the situation faster and gain a local advantage in the hostile control area, Zhang Han continued to drop combat bugs downwards, with the momentum of dropping as many combat bugs as possible until they were all lost.
The huge numerical advantage allowed Zhang Han to instantly occupy one-twentieth of the surface area of the Meteor Fortress, and under the cover of the space fleet, it expanded to the surrounding areas and underground.
Gurt found that even though his fleet of 150,000 Swarm was in a favorable position at the side and rear, it was still unable to defeat Zhang Han's fleet of 100,000 Swarm. The battle loss ratio was still 1.5 to 1.
Psionics really affects the balance too much. Even though it has the advantage in numbers, terrain, and firepower, it is still suppressed by the terrifying Psionics Zerg.
Cerebrate calculated that he must add another 100,000 Swarm fleets to attack from both front and rear in order to effectively and quickly defeat the Zhang Han fleet. Otherwise, when Zhang Han's Hatcherys take root in the meteorite fortress and then send reinforcements, the first meteorite fortress will soon fall into the predicament of being slowly cannibalized.
This was only the first round of attacks, and it was only 48 hours after the war started. Gurt was unwilling to lose a meteorite fortress, so he sent his own war Hatchery.
The plan is to put Hatchery face to face at the exit of the hyperspace channel, temporarily block Zhang Han's reinforcements, and then destroy the fleet that Zhang Han landed on the meteorite fortress.
This time it is Zhang Han's turn to be helpless. The intersection of the current hyperspace channel is still too narrow, and his war Hatchery cannot be launched. If he forces his way in, he will be attacked by fire from three directions. The war Hatchery takes a long time to incubate, and Zhang Han cannot afford to lose it.
The blue tachyon light spear stuck on the huge war Hatchery is like a small water pipe used to extinguish the volcano. The size difference is too big, and the powerful and penetrating tachyon light spear cannot shake the war Hatchery.
With a sigh, Zhang Han understood that this attack still failed. The advantage was only temporary, and it would not be stable without enough strength. He ordered his fleet to start retreating.
Before the war Hatchery completely blocked the exit of the hyperspace channel, Zhang Han's Swarm fleet withdrew despite the firepower of three lines of defense. This round of attack once again turned into a battle with no results and only casualties on each other.
The fighting bugs left on the meteorite fortress fought for three days, but were finally annihilated due to lack of support. During this process, Zhang Han discovered something that was expected but also very unexpected, that is, among Gurt's Swarm, there were a large number of Viper who could use blood mist and gray mist.
This proves that the advantages of Defiler over Zhang Han are no longer there and have been completely copied by Zagara.
This is also the shortcoming of the civil war between Swarm. Everyone learns from each other very quickly. Zhang Han copied Zagara's green mist spores, and Zagara copied his Defiler.
The 100,000 Swarm fleet that launched the fierce attack returned with 60,000, causing about 100,000 casualties to Gurt's Swarm fleet; the combat bugs were wiped out, and the damage caused to the enemy was slight, because the battlefield was cleaned by the enemy and biomass could be recovered.
In Swarm Network, Zhang Han is summarizing experience in order to launch a more violent attack next time. He now urgently needs a weapon, a weapon that can destroy the solid meteorite fortress and the war Hatchery with one shot...
On the third hyperspace channel, Stars and Chloe, with a fleet of one million Swarm, received an order from Zhang Han, ordering them to try to find a bypass channel after opening the third channel to see if they could attack Gurt from both front and rear.
At this time, the two happened to suppress a Hatchery galaxy of Zagara. After receiving the order from Zhang Han, they were about to execute it immediately. At this time, there was a little disagreement.
There are branch roads in the hyperspace channel, one leads to a fortress planet left by Stellaris Council, and the other leads to the interior of the star field of Zagara.
There was a dispute between Chloe and Stars. At that time, Stars thought that Overmind was unwilling to accept Chloe as a member of Swarm and mocked her. Now that they are fighting together, it is a bit embarrassing.
"Node Chloe, I apologize for having ridiculed you." On the Internet, Stars started the conversation first.
"Back then, I was arrogant and felt that I had grasped the thread of fate and would conquer the sea of stars in the future. But you were just a kingdom Princess trapped on the ground, and your understanding of the universe and the world was just that of palace politics, so I thought our fates would never be intertwined again..."
Chloe was listening while sorting out her emotions. She was really jealous of Stars at first. She even regretted why she didn't kill Stars while she was Executor, so that she would be the one who stayed in Hatchery...
However, now that Chloe has returned to Swarm, naturally he doesn't hate Stars so much. The nodes must also be harmonious and friendly. After all, they are all part of Swarm. We will fight together in the future, and trust is a must.
After feeling Stars's heartfelt apology, Chloe said, "It doesn't matter Stars. We were all still arrogant and young at the time. Now we work together for Swarm. Let the past be in the past."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Chloe node. The two forked roads we are facing now, the one leading to the Stellaris Council fortress is certain and has less risk. The risk of going deep into Zagara Hatchery is very high, and there is a risk of being surrounded and attacked."
"Let me go deep into Hatchery of Zagara. You first go to occupy the fortress planet of Stellaris Council and connect the Balance Star Territory with this place."
Stars hopes to take the riskier path and leaves the easy task to Chloe to express his apology.
Chloe thought about it for a moment. In the past, she might have thought that Stars wanted to take credit, but in the communication in Swarm Network, both parties did not hide their emotions and were honest. Therefore, Chloe did not doubt Stars's goodwill.
"I think we shouldn't divide our troops like this. Overmind's troops are the highest in strength and quality, but they are still blocked by the enemy. No one can guarantee that we will be able to sit back and relax along the way." Chloe expressed his concerns.
"Before departure, Overmind told me to cooperate with each other and make decisions after discussing anything. Chloe, what do you mean by node?" Stars asked.
"I think there is no problem in dividing the troops. You take the Swarm fleet with half a million Swarm to capture the Stellaris Council fortress planet and open up the passage. I will take the remaining Swarm fleet here to ensure a retreat, and by the way continue to suppress this Hatchery galaxy."
"After you come back, we will go deep into the core of Zagara's star field together." Chloe's plan is more cautious and steady.
"But...Overmind asked us to find a route around us and see if we can attack the enemy from both sides..." A more secure plan, but it was somewhat contrary to Overmind's order. Stars hesitated.
