Chapter 296 The opponent is the empire’s fleet
This time he put a total of thirteen evolution scrolls and a fourth-level cockroach into the card pool.
Because of his secret operation, these thirteen evolution coupons were successfully taken away by those guilds with cockroaches.
There was another spot, Jiang Yao, that was taken away by a lucky individual player.
This is the advantage of making a lottery machine. When necessary, you can secretly change the lottery probability to achieve your own goals.
But Jiang Yao also knew very well that he must do less of this kind of thing.
Because if you do this kind of thing too much, it is easy to cultivate a group of dog gambling players. When the time comes, these players will be embarrassed if they spend all their money to buy troops in the lottery.
Now after Jiang Yao's operation, his lineup can finally be used.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Yao values this lineup so much is mainly because of the battle with the Crossel Civilization.
Although many of my evolved arms now have the ability to break the defenses of civilized warships of Crossel's level.
But if you want to deal high damage, you still need a super high attack unit like the Cyclops.
And these arms have also become Jiang Yao's main development direction in the future.
If in the future, if oneself and the empire meet, then the empire will dispatch their main fleet.
As soon as the fight started, it would be embarrassing if you suddenly find that your insect swarm can't even break through the defense.
Although several air superiority units that evolved later can easily break through defenses.
However, even if these arms are released, it is impossible to install them in large numbers immediately because this requires funds.
Therefore, before players can popularize it, these units are still needed to support the scene.
Moreover, for an extreme unit like the Cyclops, Jiang Yao estimated that even if he developed a new unit in the future, it would be difficult for a unit similar to it to appear.
You know, the attack power of a one-eyed monster reaches a full 200,000, while the fourth-level cockroach, which is not much different in price, only has 20,000.
Although the cockroach is defensive, it is not much lower than the mutant dragon of the same level, because the attack of the fourth stage mutant dragon is only 30,000.
In this comparison, the gap between the alien dragon and the one-eyed giant beast suddenly emerged.
This is also the reason why players currently only have Tier 3 Mutant Dragons in their hands, but not Tier 4 Mutant Dragons.
Because the gap between the fourth-order alien dragon and the one-eyed giant beast is too big.
In terms of attributes, the survivability of the mutant dragon is definitely superior.
Because the one-eyed beast only has one million HP, while the alien dragon can reach one million HP in just three stages, not to mention the fourth stage.
Talking about the fourth-level alien dragon, although the fourth-level alien dragon has higher HP and defense than the one-eyed monster, what is the use of it? Just attack it and crush it to death.
This is a full six times difference in output. Although it only costs 40 million to evolve a fourth-order alien dragon, which is half less than the one-eyed giant beast.
But most of the guilds believe that it is definitely a one-eyed creature that needs to evolve, not a mutated dragon.
Because in the eyes of most players, they actually don't like hexagonal warriors very much.
For many players, either you have the ultimate defense or you have the ultimate output. You can only choose one of the two.
Most people who play games still prefer to pursue the pleasure brought by high damage.
Including previous battles, the damage done by the Cyclops was the envy of many players.
It takes them a long time to kill one of them, but the one-eyed monster can kill a child directly. This game experience is completely different.
Just imagine, it takes you ten minutes to defeat a BOSS and you are finally exhausted.
Others send you away directly in less than a second. What a contrast. If you see this kind of thing too much, you will pursue the ultimate output.
Of course, this idea of the players is also more in line with Jiang Yao's development concept.
And Jiang Yao's favorite among all the soldiers is the one-eyed monster. Although the cost of this monster is high, its output is still worthy of his high price.
If the base mutant is used as the unit of measurement, one one-eyed monster is equal to the combined output of more than a hundred mutant dragons.
The total DPS of the twenty-nine one-eyed beasts in his hand now is equivalent to the DPS of nearly four thousand basic mutalisks.
Of course, it would definitely not work if all the troops were developed into one-eyed behemoths.
After all, there are a lot of small boats in large-scale wars. High DPS units like the Cyclops have very little effect in cleaning up small boats, just like cannons that fight mosquitoes.
So at this time, other units with relatively good performance are needed to help clean up the shrimps.
In short, regarding the combination of arms, Jiang Yao's high-end arms focus on the Cyclops, while the mid-range and low-end arms are basically everywhere, with a little bit of everything.
At this time, when Jiang Yao was still planning for his future military deployment, he discovered the situation again.
That's right, something happened again.
Another fleet was discovered by the Hive.
"What's wrong with this?"
"We just got a wave of fleets, why should there be another wave in less than a week?"
"Although they must have sent the information here to their home planet before they were wiped out in the previous battle, there is no reason for another batch to come so quickly."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but frown, "Is it because the area where I am now is too close to their home base, that's why this situation occurs?"
"Or is that mysterious civilization coming?"
Jiang Yao was not sure about his guess.
However, he immediately contacted the players and asked them to prepare for the battle.
The players who received the news also discussed the matter a lot.
"Damn, a batch was sent away two days ago and it's here again."
"According to the leader's guess, if this fleet was not sent away two days ago, then it is the fleet of that epic civilization."
"According to his speculation, the fleet that was sent away two days ago should be a passing advanced civilization that happened to meet us."
After hearing what this player said, everyone present probably understood the situation.
"In short, no matter what their situation is, we will eat as much as they come."
"It's just that this time we should be more careful and understand the opponent's strength first. We can't be as reckless as last time."
"You are afraid of a hammer this time. Please understand that we have a total of twenty-nine one-eyed monsters this time.
In addition to twenty four cockroaches, we also have hundreds of thousands of troops. With this configuration, do you think the opponent's more than a thousand warships have a chance of winning against us? ”
Amid the discussion among the players, this fleet soon appeared in front of everyone.
And when this fleet appeared, everyone couldn't help but feel some pressure.
Especially when the players saw the dreadnought, which was more than 4,000 meters long, they immediately understood that this civilization was probably much stronger than the last one.
"Brothers, this is not a good situation."
"According to the official setting of battleships, if I am not blind, that battleship should be a dreadnought."
While the players were still discussing this, Emperor Penguin slowly spit out a few words from his mouth, "Dreadnought, Oberon-class Type I."
After hearing what Emperor Penguin said, the players all cast doubtful glances at him.
Emperor Penguin, who saw everyone's doubts, also told everyone the information he knew, "There is no battleship of the level of a dreadnought in the empire."
"Because they have long removed the dreadnoughts from the empire's battleship classification, and battleships of this level are usually still used by some of their affiliated civilizations."
"If I guessed correctly, this fleet should be a subsidiary civilization of the empire."
"How are you so sure?" other players asked subconsciously after hearing what Emperor Penguin said.
"This battleship is called the Oberon-class Type I. It was developed by an affiliated civilization of the empire with reference to the empire's Oberon-class battleship."
"Although the overall strength is many times weaker than the Empire's Oberon-class, it can still be regarded as an extremely powerful battleship.
The official information provides an introduction to this battleship. ”
“I don’t know why this battleship’s data was leaked, so many civilizations under the empire have this kind of battleship.
Therefore, this battleship appeared many times in the previous wars between the Zerg and the Empire. ”
Players were dumbfounded after hearing the Emperor Penguin tell the whole story.
If Emperor Penguin's analysis is correct, then the fleet coming this time is most likely the empire's fleet.
Players are also very clear about the relationship between the Zerg and the Empire. Through previous official information, players know that the Zerg is now in a state of insignificant development.
If they were to face off against the Empire at this stage, their strength would not be enough to defeat them.
But now, when this fleet appears in front of the players, they can basically be sure that the empire may send more warships to hunt them down.
"If you don't do one thing, you won't stop!"
"Destroy this fleet at all costs and then run away!"
"Although the empire is powerful, as long as we are humble, it will not be easy for the empire to find us in the vast universe."
"Although they found us easily this time, the reason is because they left a back-up on our insect nest.
After the insect nest evolved, the leader immediately pulled out this backhand, so as long as we escape, it will not be so easy for them to find us in the future. ”
"If I guess correctly, the mysterious civilization mentioned in the epic mission issued by the leader should be the Empire."
"I'm talking about how the rewards for this epic mission are ridiculously high. The highest reward for each guild member is several evolution coupons, which lasts for half a day."
"I knew this epic mission wasn't that simple.
Sorry, I was still imagining that if our guild completed the mission, it would take off directly. Now it seems that I thought too much. ”
"Okay, everyone, don't sigh. Let's deal with the enemies in front of us first!" After saying that, the players took the lead in launching an attack on the empire's warships.
And when the war started, the players fully realized the power of the empire.
First of all, their warships are much higher than the Crossel civilization in terms of firepower and defense.
Taking the lowest attack to break the defense as an example, Crossel Civilization only needs about 1,500 attacks to break the defense.
This batch of warships in the empire requires at least 2,000 attacks.
That is to say, the Hydralisk that evolved in the first stage barely reached the defense-breaking damage threshold. As for the basic Mutalisks, they were completely unable to cause any damage to these battleships.
Players said this was outrageous.
You must know that this civilization is just a subsidiary civilization of the empire, and it is not even a regular formation of the empire.
Just such a team can have such strength, then one can imagine what the strength of the empire's regular army has reached.
"Damn it, brothers, each other is too strong! How can we fight like this!"
"You can't break the defense at all, so hit me with a hammer!"
"Brothers, cheap troops rush forward and serve as cannon fodder to provide opportunities for high-level troops to output!"
"Fuck you, why don't you act like cannon fodder, Marde? Did the cheap troops dig up your family's grave or something?"
"Okay, stop arguing, so civilian players and individual players will return to the insect nest by themselves.
If you continue here, you will also be given away. In addition, powerful guilds will sign up individually, and each guild will be responsible for a group of monsters! ”
Because of the special nature of the opponent's ship, many individual players were just giving away meat, so after much deliberation, Weiji and the others decided to let these players return home first.
The next battle is left to the guild players.
Of course, these loots are naturally not shared by those individual players.
After discussion, they decided that each of the remaining guilds would be responsible for a group of monsters, and in the end the guild's loot would be the group of monsters it was responsible for.
After determining the distribution plan, the players of these guilds immediately launched attacks in the areas they were responsible for.
Although the overall strength of guild players is relatively strong, members don't have to worry about whether they die or not, so they are undoubtedly much less worried than individual players.
But even so, this wave of their fight was still extremely difficult.
The opponent's firepower was too fierce.
"Brothers, please pay attention to your health. Hydralisk can only carry two cannons. If you see something is wrong, retreat immediately!"
"Attention cockroaches, the opponent's flagship is collecting Fire Eyeworms. When you are resisting damage, keep an eye on your own status. If you need to change positions, change positions!"
"All the eyeworms focus on the opponent's flagship! The firepower of the opponent's flagship is too strong! As long as the flagship is unplugged, it will be easier."
In this way, players analyze the situation at hand and think about the best combat plan.
Although they faced only a thousand battleships this time, they felt that it would be more difficult to fight than the tens of thousands of Yongye Taylor.
Because of the firepower of these warships, many players were killed without even having a chance to retreat.
Facing the powerful firepower of the flagship, even the fourth-level cockroaches were unable to withstand it.
If it weren't for the great recovery skill, I'm afraid several cockroaches would have been killed at this moment.
But even cockroaches with large recovery skills can't last long. In order to safely evacuate, cockroaches can only recover four times at most, and they need to stay once to retreat.
Seeing that the situation was not going well at this time, Jiang Yao naturally did not dare to neglect. He immediately controlled the main cannon of the insect nest and began to gather energy.
At this time, inside the opponent's fleet, the commander of this fleet naturally discovered Jiang Yao's actions.
Because the fluctuations in the energy accumulation of the insect nest's main gun are too obvious.
"This is it!" The commander looked confused at the huge insect nest in the projection screen.
However, based on the data, he quickly determined the identity of the long snake in front of him, "The starry sky beast in its infancy!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, "What is going on? How could the Zerg get involved with the starry sky beast? Are they symbiotic or enslaved?"
"And, what is going on with these bugs? Why are there so many bugs that we have never seen before, and they are countless times more powerful than before!"
"Have they evolved again?"
"No, I must report the situation here to the headquarters as soon as possible!"
At this moment, the sudden alarm sound from the flagship caught his attention.
"Alert, alert the battleship is being invaded by unknown energy bodies!"
"Began to analyze the source of the invading body, the analysis was successful, the unknown energy body is a condensed matter weapon!"
"The automatic defense system of the battleship started, started successfully, started interception, and intercepted successfully!"
As this prompt sounded, the commander's expression became even more ugly. The group of bugs in front of him were not only mixed up with the starry sky beasts, but were also extremely powerful in their own right.
What's even more outrageous is that many of them are equipped with weapons of technological civilization and have mastered condensed matter weapons.
Although the condensed matter weapons they possess do not pose any threat to the flagship, even the cruiser can defend it.
But battleships below the cruise level cannot do this, so many of the destroyers and escorts in their fleet were directly destroyed by this condensed matter weapon.
Although the situation in front of him was beyond his understanding, he now knew that he had to stop the attack of one of the starry beasts.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered a fleet to attack the starry sky beast in an attempt to interrupt its attack.
At this moment, the players were naturally able to let him get his wish. I saw that the players also sent many people to intercept.
"Report to Commander, the swarm seems to have seen our intentions, and they are sending troops to intercept us!"
"Find a way to break through their interception!"
"No, the opponent's firepower is too..." Before he could finish his words, the battleship was destroyed by the players.
And at this moment, looking at everything that happened, the commander also knew that they might be defeated today.
"Damn it! How could those bugs have such strength!"
"What the hell is going on!"
At this moment, a thick beam of light was seen spraying out from the giant snake's mouth and heading towards his dreadnought.
Immediately afterwards, the huge energy began to destroy the armor and shields of the dreadnought ship wantonly.
Although as a flagship-level dreadnought, it is not weak in defense and attack, but it still seems a bit powerless in the face of eyeworms and hive fire.
At this time, Jiang Yao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that his main gun could not kill the dreadnought ship in seconds.
How could he care so much at this time? He immediately ordered all players present to set fire to the dreadnought at the same time.
Although this will cause the players to lose a lot, if this battlefield harvester is not solved, the players' casualties will be even more severe.
At this time, as players joined in, the shield and armor value of this dreadnought ship dropped faster.
"The commander can't hold on any longer. Even though all our systems are in overload mode, the enemy's firepower is too strong."
When he heard the report from his subordinates, the commander also looked gloomy. This time he admitted that he underestimated the Zerg.
Looking at the flagship that was already on the verge of collapse, the commander murmured: "I originally thought that one dreadnought could easily wipe them all out.
But I never expected them to be so powerful, which is great! very good! ”
"Bugs, it is a good thing for us that you have evolved to this extent, because the stronger you are, the greater the probability of our plan to succeed."
As he spoke, the commander was overwhelmed by the flames of the flagship's explosion.
The next moment, the commander was seen waking up from the cloning cabin.
After waking up, he immediately walked in the direction of the combat headquarters. Now he needed to report everything that had just happened to the higher-ups.
Consciousness transfer technology can also be called cloning technology.
This technology is to cultivate countless clones of you and store these clones in special cloning chambers.
When you die, your consciousness will be transferred to the clone body by a special device implanted in your body.
This technology is also a type of immortality technology.
Immortality is achieved by constantly replacing clones, and this technology can also give birth to countless elite warriors in civilization.
Of course, not everyone can use this technology. You are only eligible when you reach the level of squad leader.
It is also very difficult for a soldier in this civilization to become a squad leader, but the temptation of eternal life makes every soldier strive towards this goal.
It is also for this reason that this civilization has a large number of elite warriors.
And with the extended development of cloning technology, they can transform each clone so that these clones themselves have relatively powerful combat capabilities.
At this time, after arriving at the command headquarters, the commander began to tell everyone what had happened before.
On the other side, after the battle, players also began to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, although the number of enemies was not large, the losses suffered by the players were very heavy.
A total of five thousand battle losses, and they were all high-priced units after evolution.
And this was only a loss of 5,000 when the overall number of players was dozens of times higher than theirs and they were moving faster. If their number had been smaller and they were moving slower, then the battle losses would have been much more. .
And through this time, players can be considered to have a certain understanding of the empire, the top existence in the universe.
