A short while later.
Inside the evolution cavity.
"Abathur, are you busy?" Su Bai stopped.
"Observe entities, explore potential, study lineages, and adjust sequences. There is still much work to be done to make the swarm perfect."
Abathur stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at Su Bai.
"The swarm of insects has encountered obstacles in its attempt to conquer the floating city in the Monsoon Plains!" Su Bai went straight to the point and said quickly, "That city is suspended in the air and has powerful magic cannons that the alien dragons cannot withstand."
"The alien dragon is highly mobile and has a strong attack, but its defense is somewhat low, making it unsuitable for offensive operations."
Abathur blurted it out without thinking.
"Faced with this magical city that resembles an aerial fortress, what better way do you have to take it down with minimal losses for the swarm?" Su Bai asked.
Abathur pondered for a moment, then said:
"The existing Zerg units are incapable of conducting large-scale air assaults and cannot deal with cities of the air fortress level."
"Give me a few more months, and I will enhance the Zerg gene sequences of the hatchery and the main nest. At that time, a brand new aerial siege creature will be born!"
"Taking down the Floating City will be a piece of cake!"
Upon hearing this, Su Bai was slightly taken aback, "A brand new aerial siege creature?"
"Yes!"
Abathur nodded and looked at the huge green pool beside him.
The viscous purple liquid inside was constantly churning and bubbling.
“It’s taking a while!” Su Bai shook his head, his gaze resolute: “I can’t wait a moment longer to take down the Floating City and conquer the Monsoon Plains!”
Occupying more territory will allow one's strength to increase more rapidly.
This includes more resources available for collection, faster resource collection speed, faster troop upgrade speed, and more tribute from subjugated forces, among other things.
Therefore, to become stronger, one must dominate more territories.
Originally, taking things slowly and methodically was also a viable approach.
But now, they learn that they will face an incredibly powerful enemy in the future, and that even the Zerg swarm may be wiped out.
This made Su Bai unable to wait even a moment longer!
"My lord, the swarm's air power is currently weak. Apart from the alien dragons, there are only the overlords that cannot fight. This is a fact we have to face."
Abathur walked outside the evolution chamber, glanced at the alien dragon, and then fixed his gaze on the giant king insect. "Unfortunately, due to its genes, this enormous aerial behemoth is not suited for combat missions."
“Yes! Such a huge size, yet it can only serve as a logistics unit!” Su Bai moved and stepped out of the evolution chamber.
Sixty thousand queen insects floated in mid-air.
The carapace is dark brown and smooth.
It is twelve meters tall and five meters wide, much larger than springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches.
It has two rows of compound eyes on its head, and eight lower limbs hanging down naturally.
At first glance, its appearance is extremely intimidating.
But who would have thought that these aerial behemoths were timid by nature and had absolutely no fighting ability?
Not far away, Zhao Ganwu was punching Dehaka's armor with his hand. "It's even harder than a tank's armor. One punch and my hand hurts!"
"Feels good! It's like being tickled!"
Dehaka lay on the ground, grinning widely to reveal two rows of sharp teeth.
Its 14-meter-tall body resembles a small hill.
"Armor?" Su Bai's eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face: "That's right! If I cover the King Worm's carapace with armor, wouldn't it become a mobile aerial tank?"
"Although it lacks offensive capabilities, its defensive capabilities are top-notch!"
"Why didn't I think of that before?"
In an instant, Su Bai thought of a way to break the deadlock.
The alien dragon's attack power is sufficient; what it lacks is only its defense.
If the Queen Beetle can act as a shield, absorbing the damage from the Sky City's magic cannons for the Alien Dragon, then the Alien Dragon can unleash its full power in a safe environment.
As long as we can break through the outer defenses of the floating city and take it down, it will definitely not be a problem.
The king insect is timid by nature. On the battlefield, if it is attacked, it will panic and instinctively run away.
However, this can be prevented by simply covering their eyes.
At that time, Kerrigan will conduct a mental link and remotely command the operation.
The biggest problem now is how to build a hard armor covering the entire body of the King Worm to withstand the attack of the Floating City's magic cannon.
"Armor? It's just a crude defensive device made by humans using steel or other composite materials. It's far inferior to the Zerg's biological carapace."
Abathur, looking smug, couldn't help but complain.
He is an ancient organism.
He tirelessly researches how to enhance the swarm at the genetic level and is known as the "evolutionary master" of the swarm.
Therefore, they have always scoffed at and disdained human inventions.
"While the power of the insect swarm is indeed formidable, human intelligence should not be underestimated! Their learning ability and practical skills are exceptional!"
Kerrigan stepped forward and continued, "Abathur, you need to be flexible and adaptable to make the Zerg swarm invincible!"
Kerrigan, possessing genes from both humans and Zerg, is exceptionally clear about the strengths and weaknesses of both races.
Therefore, compared to Dehaka and Abathur, her intelligence and overall abilities are particularly outstanding.
"Well said!"
Su Bai nodded in agreement, "We must never underestimate humans, or we will suffer a great loss!"
Although Su Bai's blood did not contain any alien insect genes.
But ever since he acquired the Zerg, his way of thinking has unconsciously become centered on the Zerg's perspective and viewpoint.
That's why he told Niyadera earlier: I am not only your lord, but also a part of the Swarm!
"Okay! I admit that the weapons and equipment developed by humans have indeed caused the Zerg swarm a lot of trouble."
Abathur paused, then changed the subject: "Sooner or later, I will make the swarm evolve to be so perfect that no human weapon will be able to harm them!"
"I believe in you, and I look forward to that day!" Su Bai smiled slightly.
Then he said, "But now, I urgently need you to do something!"
"Please give your instructions!"
Abathur replied.
“You have the best understanding of the Queen Insect's body structure. You've also had extensive experience with human armor,” Su Bai asked. “So, can you design a blueprint?”
Su Bai added, "A blueprint for the Queen Insect's specially made armor. It doesn't need to be too sophisticated; it just needs to conform to the Queen Insect's body structure."
As long as you have the blueprints, you can find a blacksmith to forge, enhance, and so on.
In the Land of Redemption, many races are highly skilled at crafting equipment.
Following the blueprints, there were no problems in creating the armor that the Ohmu was wearing.
"In order for the Zerg swarm to successfully take over the floating city, I will do my utmost to design this blueprint!"
Abathur spoke each word with great seriousness.
