Zagara had a sharp gaze.
His eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Owner!"
"My original plan was to breach the Imperial army's fortifications on Dauntless Heights."
"But, we want to get close to this fortress."
"We must cross the terrifying trench of bones."
"Before I joined your service, I was mentally prepared to take down this fortress even if I suffered heavy casualties."
"But now, with you and your swarm here, the battle will definitely be much easier."
"The Imperial Army will surely be annihilated in the vast ocean of the Zerg swarm!"
After listening.
After a moment's thought, Su Bai asked, "Is it possible to bypass the Bone Trench and directly attack the Imperial Army's fortress using the tunnel worms?"
Zagara shook his head.
She said, "No."
"The Imperial army is in the worm tunnels, which are filled with countless lava flows."
"We will all be exposed on the ground before we reach the Fearless Heights."
These words were spoken.
A hint of embarrassment crept into the eyes of Zhao Ganwu, Li Enzhen, and Tosh.
Because previously, in the battle with Zagara.
In order to weaken the Zerg swarm under Zagara's command, Char's underground tunnel network was destroyed by them.
"This..." Zhao Ganwu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "If I had known, I should have not destroyed it so thoroughly back then..."
Su Bai said, "After we left, the Royal Guard stationed here poured magma into the underground worm tunnel."
"Otherwise, judging from the intensity of the explosives Tosh used at the time, the worm tunnel network should have been restored by now."
"This shows that Mengsk has a wealth of experience in dealing with Zerg swarms."
The subordinates began to discuss and strategize their next move.
Kerrigan glanced around at everyone, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.
"The Royal Guard stationed on Char Planet had no idea of their situation."
"Now, the Zerg swarm in Zagara is one with us."
"Given their overwhelming numerical advantage, the Royal Guard was destined to lose."
At this moment.
Zhao Ganwu suddenly spoke up:
"It suddenly occurred to me that the day Amon's minions appeared, they activated the Xel'Naga artifacts, which caused the Queen of Blades to revert to her human form."
"Is the weapon of mass destruction that could have such a huge impact on the Zerg swarm still in Mengsk's hands?"
Kerrigan narrowed her eyes slightly.
She said, "It's possible."
“However, I can sense that the Xel'Naga artifacts are not currently on Char.”
Zhao Ganwu nodded.
Only then did I finally feel relieved.
"In that case, our swarm can confidently launch an attack on the Royal Guard."
Su Bai turned around.
I stared at the massive fortress displayed on the star map radar screen.
Numerous Royal Guard soldiers are busily constructing fortifications.
"Now, the swarm is united."
"Wait until I conquer the planet Char."
“Your leader will know that my counterattack has begun.”
now.
Everyone shared their opinions and discussed the battle plan.
Su Bai took a step.
Approaching Zagara, he said, "Do you know why I've been able to defeat you time and time again in battle?"
“Master, because your strength surpasses mine,” Zagara blurted out.
Su Bai shook his head.
"It's because I used enough strategy in the battle. While overwhelming the enemy with a swarm of insects is certainly invincible, without tactics, one is very likely to be defeated by the enemy."
Zagara pondered for a moment.
A look of realization dawned on his eyes.
"I see, I understand now!"
Just then.
Abathur strode out of the evolution chamber.
He stood beside Su Bai and said:
"commander!"
"The insect mother template already possesses the ability to solve complex problems, observe and learn, and command on multiple fronts."
"Further increase muscle density and expand brain tissue structure."
"This allows the mother insect to make multiple predictions simultaneously, improving cognitive flexibility."
Su Bai nodded slightly.
Currently, he already has three insect queens under his command.
Niyadra, Zagara, Nakotur.
Here it is necessary to clarify the difference between "insect mother" and "insect queen".
The Queen is a support-type Zerg creature with weaker combat abilities, but is better at defense and supporting allies.
The queen insect is a powerful and highly intelligent insect queen.
They not only possess formidable combat power, but also outstanding mental strength, enabling them to assume positions similar to "commanders".
therefore.
Before meeting Su Bai.
The queens are assigned by the Queen of Blades to guard and lead a variety of Zerg hives.
In creating the Queen, Kerrigan adhered to one principle.
That is, even if she dies, the swarm can still function normally under the leadership of the queens.
Zagara was the first insect queen to be created.
Compared to ordinary queens, queens have more protective bony armor around their skulls.
These bony plates are thicker and extend in all directions, exhibiting an umbrella-like structure.
This makes the queen insect almost unaffected by attacks from above.
Each queen is an important part of the alien insect organization.
It was they who caused the Zerg to split into multiple "independent" communities.
The control range of a queen insect is limited. When the control ranges of multiple queen insects overlap, a "balanced cross" is formed.
As the swarm continues to expand, Su Bai cannot do without the help and assistance of the insect queen.
He looked at Abathur and said quickly:
"All future queen insects will undergo this kind of upgrade."
Abathur pondered for a moment.
He continued:
“For the worm mother, additional brain tissue is not necessary, because it would consume extra energy.”
"At the same time, this also enhances the independence of the mother insect."
"This behavior goes against the rules: no Zerg should ever threaten the leader of the swarm."
“It’s alright, go ahead and do it,” Su Bai said. “I’m confident and capable of leading an even stronger insect queen.”
...
...
An hour later.
The insect swarm has been rectified.
We arrived at the entrance to the Bone Mine.
"In order to reach the Fearless Heights, we must get the swarm across the Bone Trench."
"Mengsk's Royal Guard will certainly fight us with all their might."
Zagara stared at the harsh environment ahead, a hint of worry in his voice.
Su Bai stood atop the king beast's head.
He looked up and stared at the trench of dead bones before him.
Magma is everywhere.
Piles of bones.
Black smoke billowed.
"This kind of environment is truly hell on earth."
"But the Dead Bone Trench is the only road leading to the Imperial Army's fortress."
"We must find a way to slip through."
Zagara raised his head.
Gazing at the distant sky.
“Previously, I tried to get my Zerg forces through here.”
"But every time we pass through, the Royal Guard's Gorgon-class battlecruisers will descend from the sky."
"They keep bombing us."
"Blood flowed like rivers, and the corpses of insects littered the fields."
"The hope of driving the Royal Guard out of Charles was also dashed."
Upon hearing this...
Everyone frowned.
“The terrain of the Bone Mine is so narrow, and the Royal Guard has the advantage, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack,” Zhao Ganwu couldn’t help but say. “It will be extremely difficult for us to attack.”
"If we launch a full-scale attack regardless of the consequences, the casualties will be too great, and it may be a case of losing more than we gain," Li Enzhen said.
Tosh stepped forward and spoke rapidly: "The Gorgon-class battlecruiser is a very powerful warship deployed by the Imperial Army."
"In particular, this warship under the Royal Guard has undergone a significant upgrade in both its firepower and protection systems."
"Therefore, a direct attack is absolutely not advisable."
Upon hearing this...
Su Bai's eyebrows immediately furrowed into a knot.
"It looks like the situation is getting a bit tricky!"
He thought for a moment.
"How about this, we first send out a small elite force to scout out the situation inside the Bone Trench, and then make other plans."
Reconnaissance operation.
The Ghost Agents under Tosh's command are the most suitable.
Twenty minutes later.
The Ghost Agent in charge of reconnaissance returned safely.
They brought back some exciting news.
The trench of dead bones is filled with many mosquito nests.
However, these mosquito nests are currently dormant.
"I think we can use the mosquito nests to deal with the Gorgon-class battlecruisers."
Kerrigan's eyes lit up. "Now, what we need to do is wake up these mosquito nests."
Zagara's Zerg swarms fought the Royal Guard multiple times at the Bone Trench.
Therefore, she offered a different perspective.
"Your Majesty, our forces should cross the Dead Bone Ditch as soon as possible and not waste time fighting the Gorgon-class battlecruisers."
"As long as we can catch them off guard, crossing the trench won't result in too many losses."
Su Bai looked at Zagara.
A smile appeared in his eyes.
"Zagara, you need to learn to have foresight."
"If we do things the way you say, we risk total annihilation if we fail."
"To achieve a more lasting victory, one must strategize and be ruthless in using any means necessary."
After listening.
Zagara nodded.
A look of realization dawned on his face.
"I see!"
"I didn't think things through just now."
"From now on, I will keep the word 'vision' in mind."
After finding a way to defeat the enemy.
The swarm of insects then began to move.
They established forward nesting positions outside the grazing grounds.
One by one, the queen insects begin to incubate the fungal tumors on the periphery of the nest.
soon.
The surrounding ground was then covered with a fungal carpet.
"When the fungal carpet extends to the ground where the mosquito nest is located, the fungal carpet will provide nutrients to the mosquito nest."
"At that time, these mosquito nests will awaken."
"Countless mosquitoes spewed out, and the Royal Guard's Gorgon-class battlecruisers were finished."
Kerrigan's gaze was intense, her eyes sparkling with light.
Just then.
"Boom boom boom!"
A tremendous roar of engines echoed from the distant horizon.
A colossal black warship could be vaguely seen flying forward.
"That's a Gorgon-class battlecruiser!" Zagara's voice shrill. "It's heading towards our swarm!"
“It’s enormous! No wonder the Royal Guard couldn’t send two ships into the Bone Depot at the same time,” Su Bai remarked.
“In this terrain, just one ship is enough to kill countless insect soldiers!” Zagara’s voice carried a hint of fear.
