In Swarm Network, Zagara pulled her hands, and the entire warring star map was presented in front of her. The red represents Kundera's power, the green represents herself, and the black represents the fragments of consciousness.

The enemy's sphere of influence is like two iron pincers that firmly surround the green color of Zagara, especially the one with fragmented consciousness, whose jaws have penetrated deep into her heart, making it deadly and dangerous.

There is no point in fighting Kundera anymore. If Zagara does not retreat, there will be no retreat from the rear, and her sphere of influence will be completely surrounded by red and black.

In the memory of tens of millions of years, Zagara is not invincible in every battle. No existence can be victorious in every battle. It's just that the current situation makes Zagara smell a nasty smell, that is, defeat.

Her elite fleet of 100,000 people was parked quietly at the entrance of the hyperspace channel. The energetic nodes and Cerebrate were all pulled into Swarm Network by Zagara.

Zagara concentrated all the computing power it could for the time being to calculate what to do next.

This time, Zagara is going to do his best to plot against the fragments of consciousness, because his sudden appearance has caused Zagara to become increasingly disadvantaged.

Now the number of consciousness fragments in the galaxy and fleet production capacity should be the highest. According to logic, Kundera should join forces with himself to destroy the consciousness fragments first.

It's a pity that Kundera is unwilling to join forces with him. He stubbornly believes that Zagara is the biggest hidden danger of Swarm and can never become Overmind.

Thinking of this, Zagara couldn't help but say, "How stupid! Obtaining Overmind by any means is right. The ambition of the consciousness fragment is no different from mine!"

This military meeting lasted for three hours despite the acceleration of the Internet. The situation deteriorated so much that many nodes did not dare to express their opinions because they were afraid of taking responsibility.

In the end, the meeting became a one-man show for Zagara, who formulated and modified the battle plan, and other nodes and Cerebrate provided computing power to verify the plan.

Zagara does not feel that this situation is caused by her thoughts affecting Swarm Network's thoughts. After all, many nodes participating in the meeting are Queen who have similar thinking patterns to hers. She only feels that she has no chance to awaken several Zerg hero nodes.

Only the Zerg node that can be burned into the gene can be on par with itself in terms of command. It is normal for other nodes to not be able to keep up with itself.

In three hours, Zagara deduced ten plans, but none of them satisfied her. At most, these plans could only delay Zagara's failure, but could not change the result.

In the face of the absolute difference in strength, tactics cannot change the objective gap and turn corruption into magic, unless the opponent is a fool.

Fragments of consciousness and Kundera will never leave such a flaw for Zagara. Everything seems to be in a dead end, and Zagara's demise is only a matter of time.

"If only I had more time to fully understand Psionics's theory, or if I had enough energy to incubate a few more heroic nodes in my genes, or..." Zagara couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, her Psionics organ had a little inspiration.

Although Zagara's technology only has the basic Psionics theory, because in the battle with Zhang Han, Psionics was more and more effective, so she still hatched a Psionics organ for herself.

There is something that I want to communicate with her, I want to convey it to her, tell her something. Unfortunately, Zagara cannot grasp this aura, and communication cannot be carried out.

The aura pointed in a direction, a direction away from the area where Swarm was raging.

"Are you asking me to leave?" Zagara's eyes widened. She was a little angry. To escape would mean to admit defeat. She didn't want to admit defeat yet.

Ignoring the inspiration brought by Psionics's organ, Zagara fell into thinking about finding a solution.

After calming down, Zagara found that it was not impossible to leave. She didn't have many galaxies in her hands anymore, and it really didn't make much sense to continue spending time here with two powerful competitors.

If you spend an extra year or two, you will not win. Instead, you will completely fall into the enemy's rhythm and be overwhelmed by their numbers.

On the side of the Balance Star Territory, the native civilization of this galaxy is relatively weak. It has a vast area and a lot of biomass. It can completely develop in motion.

When you are trapped, you change, and when you change, you live.

The more she thought about it, the more Zagara realized that this strategy was very feasible. She could even use the curvature engine and those disconnected hyperspace channels to travel back and forth in the huge balance star field.

Even if she is pursued by soldiers, in such a complex and large area, she can still use the curvature engine to leave the Balance Starfield. The starry sky is so vast, she can go anywhere.

As long as you give her enough development time, she can come back to compete for Overmind when she is strong enough! In addition, after you leave, you can try to sow discord and let the fragment of consciousness fight with Kundera.

Zagara feels that Zhang Han must be as ambitious as her. Once he disappears, the foundation of the alliance between Zhang Han and Kundera will no longer exist, and the two will definitely fight.

After determining the strategic goal, the formulation of tactics is simple. Zagara needs to protect its rear that is being attacked by Zhang Han, and then enter the balance star domain through the key channel.

The execution is not difficult. A conservative estimate is that Zagara can guarantee to leave here with the effective force of the three million Swarm fleet.

In order to carry out the retreat plan smoothly, the Zagara fleet began to turn around and fly to the other end of the galaxy, and at the same time ordered the three Swarm Node to continue commanding the battle against Kundera, where the Swarm fleet hatched from the Hatchery galaxy can supply them.

There is only one mission, to hit Kundera as much as possible and make him feel that he is facing a large-scale counterattack.

Kundera will definitely continue to lose ground, or even shrink his defense. He has recently suffered two major losses due to overly aggressive attacks, and he will definitely become cautious.

This gave Zagara time to retreat and transfer its forces.

At the rear, Zagara pulled Moras and other Queen nodes into the network. Gurt and Kesette could no longer be brought in because their Swarm Network was interfered with.

Moraes was shocked by the mistress's plan. She still couldn't believe that the mistress had judged that she couldn't defeat it and was about to give up here.

"Mother, you are great and wise, do you really want to do this? Is there no other way?"

Not only Moraes, but other Queen nodes are the same. In their hearts, their mistress should be invincible, an existence countless times more powerful than themselves. How could such an existence fail?

This is actually Zagara's method to control her subordinates. Her self-confidence was deposited in her own Swarm Network. This self-confidence turned into a trend of thought and brainwashed all the Queen nodes she gave birth to.

At this moment, the values of the Queen node have been impacted.
