Chapter 848, Window Period
The Zerg and Greenskin races, because of their characteristics, will become stronger as they fight. Especially after such a huge decisive battle, the victorious side will become particularly powerful.
But on the one hand, this kind of strength takes time. The Zerg need time to digest their "trophies". So many green skins, living or dead, have to be eaten, digested, and then hatched.
The same is true for the greenskins. After they win, the so-called "waaagh" force field will give them timely feedback, making them stronger immediately. However, the number of losses they suffered in the fierce war also needs to be replenished by "mushroom plantations" one by one, and this replenishment speed is slower than that of the Zerg, and there are more restrictions.
After the Zerg eat the biomass, they can build digesters and hatcheries on the spot and produce soldiers on the spot. Moreover, the newly born Zerg war beasts can be directly used on the front line. All weapons and equipment are the symbiotic guns and natural shells that come with them after hatching.
As for the greenskins, it is not impossible to grow mushrooms on the spot, but the speed is much slower. They still have to rely more on the existing greenskin ecosystems on the many planets they originally occupied to provide troops, manufacture weapons and equipment, and need ammunition supplies.
Individuals who win and survive in a war will indeed become stronger, but the slower replenishment of troops and weapons and ammunition will weaken them as a whole just as the war ends.
This is the window of time that Gu Hang has been waiting for.
The endless war between the two races is almost impossible to stop, giving humans the opportunity to surround them from the outside. Now, all they have to wait for is the emergence of this window of opportunity.
You have to be patient but not too slow until the window of opportunity appears.
If you are impatient or make the wrong judgment, you may rush into the most intense battle, which will turn into a real three-way fight; if you move slowly, the winner may recover and become stronger.
Observation on the front line is of utmost priority.
Gu Hang has been using various methods to strengthen his control over the insect-beast war situation.
The Space Marines sent out two, the Demon Hunters were also working, the Inquisition ships were also cruising in the Ankachi sector, not to mention the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was their main job...
In addition to these conventional forces, the more important part is Gu Hang's psychic power.
The core of the group is composed of four A-level psykers who hold the holy relic - the Psionic Crown. One is a think tank of the Eagle Vanguard Chapter, one is a senior member of the Demon Hunters, and the other two are members of the Storm Mage Corps.
With them as the center, there are many psychic mages surrounding them.
Through the special connection of the psychic crown, the strength of these A-level psychics, and their ability to serve as secondary nodes and link up with other ordinary psychic mages, Gu Hang can directly have countless pairs of "eyes" on the front line. He can use his psychic power to try to directly observe the battlefield with the help of these links.
Of course the effect is not as good as if he were there in person, but there is nothing that can be done about it.
He himself could not go to the front line to "spy". Otherwise, if he was discovered, his conspicuous psychic strength would instantly alert both sides. Perhaps, the situation might develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Fortunately, with the help of those eyes on the front line, Gu Hang could barely observe the development of the insect-beast war.
Well...his brains were beaten out.
So cruel.
Both sides were races that did not hesitate to invest in their troops, and they had a particularly large number of troops. When they put all their efforts into fighting each other in one or two star regions, which totaled less than 20 planets, the troops of both sides were densely packed on every inch of the contested land. The biological cannons and the orc cannons continued to pour firepower on each other. On the land plowed by artillery shells, acid-melting cannons, rocket launchers...all kinds of heavy firepower, there were always surviving Zerg swarms or orc stormtroopers.
They attacked the enemy under firepower. The Zerg were not afraid of sacrifice, and the Orcs, with their own boss still around and King Bonebreaker at the top, the most powerful leader known and worshipped by all the Orcs in the universe, had high morale.
Both sides were so fearless of sacrifice that even when the ground was covered with corpses, they were still shouting and killing each other.
In some more intense battlefields, large war machines and war beasts appear one after another. These units can survive longer under heavy firepower, and can also cover more of their own units to attack the enemy's positions.
Even in terms of psychic power, the Zerg has brain worms, and the Orcs also have psychic boys and orc shamans who can fight back through the frenzied waagh energy.
The Zerg swarms were indifferently attacking the sturdy Orc fortress, while the Orcs were fanatically attacking the Zerg nest with complex terrain, and neither side was willing to give in.
Often, on the field, there are confused opponents coming from other directions who will attack from the flanks when the attacker launches an attack.
The Orc Warlord will face off against the Hive Tyrant. The battle between powerful individuals can often determine the outcome of a regional battlefield. The death of the Warlord will affect the morale of the greenskin boys in this area and make them "calm down". Once the orcs calm down, their combat power will naturally decrease sharply.
However, under the personal command of the Bonebreaker King, the green-skinned orcs of Omgeria are different from others. Their organization and discipline are much stronger than the average level, and they will not collapse so easily. Moreover, as long as other warlords, generals, and warlords are mobilized in time, they can quickly take over the troops. If it really doesn't work, it is not impossible to promote them on the battlefield, or even to kill a chosen boy from the bloody battle and make him the boss.
If the general wins and the Hive Tyrant dies, then as a high-level node creature, the swarm in an area will lose its command and become mindless. But again, because of their aggressive nature, the orcs are not particularly good at seizing such opportunities. They often rush to fight close to the swarm after it is disabled. Even if the swarm has no command, its instinct to fight and devour is still there. By delaying for a while, the node creatures in other places can rush over and take over the troops.
But no matter what, both sides' scheduling and organizational capabilities are being maximized as much as possible.
Every day, a huge number of deaths occur in the Ankachi sector.
Gu Hang could even feel that the subspace in this area was in turmoil.
Faintly, there were some chilling gazes looking over here.
A certain evil god who symbolized war and destruction looked at them with great interest. Unfortunately, he didn't like either side of the battle, so he quickly turned his attention away.
What this tyrant likes is blood, skulls, and killing, as well as the brutality, bravery, and honor beneath these appearances. The Zerg, however, is a group of brainless biological weapons that do not have these things. They are there simply to "eat" and cannot provide pleasure to the tyrant.
Orcs are somewhat similar to what he likes, but the green-skinned orcs fight just for the sake of fighting and chopping people for the sake of chopping people. Fighting is fun, and other emotions are very weak. They are also not the tyrant's cup of tea.
The others also looked away one after another for various reasons.
Gu Hang quietly wiped away the cold sweat.
When he noticed the gazes of those powerful men, he was a little worried. If one or even several of them became interested in the battlefield of Omgeria, then this war, which was already very chaotic, would become even more chaotic.
By then, no one can be sure how the situation will develop.
Fortunately, their gazes turned away.
But Gu Hang didn't dare to be too careless.
On the one hand, no one knew whether their attention had really shifted away. Especially since there was one person among them who was the most fickle, if one was not careful, some conspiracy might be born here.
On the other hand, in addition to the four existences that cannot be mentioned, Gu Hang also felt some other gazes.
These are also things we need to be vigilant about.
The orcs' waagh force field has its origins. It's not without reason that greenskins are extremely difficult to be corrupted by Chaos.
Although extremely unreliable, they do have their own gods.
The Zerg, on the other hand, has an overarching collective will.
However, he changed his mind and realized that there was someone behind him.
If the worst-case scenario really came to pass, He would not stand by and watch someone die.
What's more, thinking about those distant, high, and mysterious things will not hinder the current battle.
If you have the guts, come down and compete.
Perhaps Gu Hang himself does not have the power to confront them head-on, but the battlefield is in the real universe, which is another matter.
We'll see each other on the battlefield.
While he was thinking and taking precautions, the window of opportunity that Gu Hang had been waiting for suddenly arrived.
…
The holographic star map suddenly flickered violently, and dozens of reconnaissance nodes sent back alarms at the same time - on Ankachi VIII in the Ankachi star sector, the main force of the Zerg began to release spore sacs on a large scale, and the biomass concentration instantly exceeded the critical value.
This so-called critical value was set by Gu Hang, the experts who studied Zerg, and the staff of the headquarters. They had previously judged that as long as this indicator was reached, it meant that the Queen Zerg would fight to the death.
It’s not that I didn’t fight hard enough before, but this time, I really put all my effort into it.
It is normal for the Queen of Insects to make such a decision.
They were already at a disadvantage. If they continued to fight like this, the biomass recycling would not be able to offset the consumption, and they would only become weaker and weaker. If they could retreat, they might have already chosen to do so. But unfortunately, there were human troops blocking them from the outside, so they could not escape.
If they tried to retreat from the void of the universe by conventional means of navigation, not only would all the gains from the war be lost, but the entire tentacle fleet would have invested so much and it would be a complete blow.
Moreover, there was no guarantee that they would be able to escape. The orcs might chase them, and after losing most of their strength, if they were chased again, there was a high probability that they would be completely wiped out.
Since running means death, it is understandable that after calculating the probabilities of all aspects, he decided to give it his all and launch an attack while he still had the strength to spare.
The Ankachi VIII they chose was where the Bone Crusher King was.
Humans didn't have this information, but the Zerg's choice must have a reason, and Gu Hang guessed that the broken bones were there.
He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should wait a little longer to see if the Zerg could really force out the Bone Crusher King and see how their decisive battle would turn out.
However, this hesitation was soon put aside.
The Alliance's army was still outside the Ankachi Sector. It would take time to deploy them, and it would also take time to escape the fierce battlefields in the various star systems in the Ankachi Sector and enter the Ankachi VIII star system.
Wait a minute, the news is confirmed, but the biggest factor in this crucial battle may even be the life and death of the Bone Crusher King, the Zerg Overlord and the Zerg Queen. It may be a protracted battle, but the qualitative change often happens in an instant.
If you go too late, the window of opportunity will be fleeting.
He decided to go for it.
"Launch the response plan." His voice caused the twelve tactical screens to automatically switch interfaces. "Order the Third and Seventh Fleet Clusters to shrink towards the Bimi Star Region, and release the marked Greenskin Support Fleet No. 0117 into the pocket area. Destroy them and eliminate as many unexpected factors as possible. After that, directly break through Bimi and enter Ankachi."
After saying this, he turned and looked at the dark universe outside the porthole, where two Queen of Glory ships were starting up.
"Notify all chapter leaders. The countdown to the general attack begins in 24 hours. I want the head of the Bone Crusher hung on the mast of the flagship. The Queen's neuron core must be completely sealed."
The tactical star map suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and seven main attack routes, thirty-nine secondary breakthrough points, and one hundred and twenty-seven blocking positions were activated at the same time.
Gu Hang could feel the boiling fighting spirit of his own army.
Billions of elite soldiers, tens of thousands of space marines, countless war machines and fleets, the resonance between them even formed observable subspace echoes.
Humans, a delicious and tasty race loved by many beings in this subspace, the noise they make when they gather together fascinates some beings.
This is especially true for a human army so large that it is even capable of competing with the greenskins and the Zerg.
But Gu Hang no longer wanted to think about it that much.
There were lightning and thunder in the Storm God's country, and he was fully prepared.
A brief, excessive concentration of death and suffering could even cause a Warp rift, especially in the context of the aftermath of the Cataclysm, when the reality veil has become more unstable, the risk is even higher.
It can be predicted that if there are too many deaths and the Warp echoes are too strong in the unprecedentedly fierce battlefield later, a Warp rift may appear in the middle of the fighting, and a huge army of Chaos demons will rush out, turning the already chaotic three-way melee into a four-way, five-way or even more-way melee.
But Gu Hang will try his best to prevent this from happening.
If there really was a being with such a big appetite, Gu Hang was determined to cut off every tentacle it stretched out.
The arrow is on the string, and there is no way we can stop fighting this most important battle since the Dark Side Crusade began just because we are afraid of what happened in the Warp.
