This possibility is still very high. As long as Kundera is eliminated, his Hatchery network will collapse due to lack of highest authority, repeating the split where Overmind disappeared.

At this time, War Cerebrate told him that the probability of a light particle attack was only 50%, because Zagara could not be sure that Kundera would personally lead the attack.

The supernova explosion caused by the light particle strike is an indiscriminate killing. Does Zagara want to exchange the battle damage of the Swarm fleet of two million for Kundera's one and a half million?

After thinking about it, Kundera no longer worried, first increased the Swarm Network, contacted the reinforcements from the rear, and then continued to command the fleet to start fighting for the asteroid belt.

If the fleet attacking him were all under the personal command of Zagara, Kundera might be suppressed without any chance to counterattack, but he can still do something now.

For example, use the asteroid belt to hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

It will take some time for Zagara's one million Swarm fleet in hyperspace to enter Kamet 5. Kundra's remaining fleet also has half a million, which is enough to contain it at the entrance for a period of time.

Zagara, who received the frontline combat information, also had some regrets. She originally planned to ambush a group of Kundera's active forces, counterattack slightly, and then calmly return for reinforcements.

This is the third plan. If it is seen through, her rear will be broken through by the fragments of consciousness, and her main force will be dragged here. However, as long as it succeeds, she can launch a perfect blitzkrieg, first defeat Kundera, and then destroy the fragments of consciousness, turning the tide of the battle.

It's just that Zagara didn't expect that Kundera would take such a risk this time and bring the main force to Kamet No. 5 in person. If she had known earlier, she would have prepared a light particle strike.

It is too late now. It is impossible for light particles to enter the hyperspace channel. Its speed is too fast in the regular universe, and this speed is too slow on the scale of the universe. Now that she launches the light particle attack, it will take four years to reach Kamite 5.

The number of incoming fleets was also larger than she expected. Zagara initially thought that Kundera could send at most one million Swarm fleets, because Kundera's original combat style was very cautious.

Unexpectedly, he sent 1.5 million, but now he would not be able to quickly annihilate this force. Zagara sighed helplessly, tactics are all about making it invincible before it can be victorious.

To put it bluntly, you must first ensure that you don't lose before you can win. And this victory depends on your opponent showing a flaw. It's a pity that Kundera didn't catch the flaw this time. Many things really can't be forced.

Now that the battle situation has changed, her plan must also change. First, she ordered the ambush troops of Kamet No. 5 to attack Kundla with all their strength, trying to eliminate him before Kundla's reinforcements arrived.

On the other side, Kundera is involved in Kamet No. 5, so she can launch a counterattack. If there is enough time, she can also try to cut off Kundera's retreat from the other direction and inflict heavy damage on him.

Unfortunately, according to her strategic disadvantage, she can only launch an attack that lasts only half a month, because it also takes half a month to return to the rear to fight against the consciousness fragments.

Therefore, this counterattack can allow Zagara to regain some galaxies, but it is impossible to severely damage Kundera.

At this time, Gurt, who was fighting for time for Zagara, was facing the most difficult moment. Originally, he should have persisted for half a month, but now he could no longer hold on.

When two more of the five meteorite fortresses fell, the entire front underwent major changes. A mysterious Psionics stance enveloped the Swarm fleet with fragmented consciousness.

Gurt has seen such a scene, and Zagara has conveyed similar memories to him. This Psionics stance can greatly increase all the values of the Swarm fleet, and the movement speed, attack speed, and defense power are all greatly improved.

Zaire died because of this, and Moras suffered heavy losses because of this. Even the strongest Zagara suffered losses from this kind of Psionics force field.

The purple Psionics force field is as powerful and terrifying as the abyss, and the person who best understands its power is Zhang Han who releases the Psionics force field.

In the past, he had watched others use it, but it was finally his turn to use it. He could deeply feel that Shroud, who was shielded by Swarm's mental power, was constantly instilling power into him, and was constantly calling and summoning him.

Of course, Zhang Han will never care about these calls. He just wants to use the power of Psionics.

In the past, Chloe and Stars used the Psionics force field, which could affect at most the Swarm fleet of 200,000 to 300,000 people. When Zhang Han used this power, it was very easy to affect the Swarm fleet of one million, which was far from the upper limit of his mental power.

Under his influence, the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet has also increased even more. For example, it can be dematerialized and has a 50% probability of being immune to various types of damage (ineffective against high-energy weapons such as tachyon spears). It can also be derealized when attacking and corrode most metal armor (except neutron armor).

Coupled with the comprehensive improvements in movement speed, attack, and resistance to strikes, Zhang Han feels that it is difficult to describe the current Swarm mode with Psionics Swarm. It is more appropriate to call it Void Swarm.

After being dragged here by Gurt for so long, it was Zhang Han's turn to vent his long-suppressed anger.

Using the two destroyed meteorite fortresses as a breakthrough point, Zhang Han directed a large number of his fleets to pour in from here, cut to the rear of Gurt's defense line, and began to outflank Gurt.

Gurth also tried to block the gap in the defense line and arrange the formation to prevent his own fleet from being surrounded, but the sublight speed of his Swarm fleet was much slower than that of Zhang Han.

For example, the outflanking speed of Zhang Han is like an armored division breaking through the gap in the defense line and outflanking the infantry on both sides.

"Zagara node, I'm sorry, I let you down. The power of consciousness fragments is far beyond our expectations and imagination. The galaxy has been lost, and I can only fight here until the end."

At the last moment when the defense line collapsed, Gurt did not forget his responsibilities, increased Swarm Network, and reported the situation to Zagara.

He also asked reconnaissance Overlord to record as much of the battlefield footage as possible, and collect as much intelligence as possible before Swarm Network was interfered with.

The focus of the reconnaissance Overlord is not the Swarm fleet, but three very strange beings, a giant snake, a giant eagle, and a giant beast.

These three creations constructed from Psionics are very huge and have strong destructive power. They are lying on a meteorite fortress and destroying it crazily.

Every time they swing their claws and attack, they can create terrifying scars and ravines on the huge meteorites. Not only are they huge in size, but their defense is also extremely strong. It is difficult for acid bombs, plasma bombs, and giga-cannons to cause damage to them.

Either it will be blocked by the Psionics barrier, or it will be uploaded from their bodies. Even if it hits, at most it will only break up some of the scales composed of Psionics.

Gurt did not know these three existences, but in the Balance Star Territory, these three were the three most famous gods, and they were the gods with the largest number of believers in the Church of Doom.

They are the four-armed snake god, the four-winged eagle god, and the four-tailed beast god. These three are also the incarnations of the consciousness of gods that Zhang Han has given priority to control. Their existence can continuously provide Zhang Han with spiritual power growth.

Now, they can still fight for Swarm in the real world.
