Chapter 354 The mantis stalks the cicada
This thing is also an intelligence picture collected by Kassadin.
And when the queen saw the fleet in the picture, she was a little surprised, "The battleships of the Crossel civilization."
"I didn't expect that the Destroyer Organization would also come." As she spoke, the Zerg Queen's eyes flashed coldly, "Just in time, we can collect some interest first."
Hearing this, Kassadin also nodded, "Queen, don't worry, I promise they will never come back."
Kassadin also has his own plan for this operation, and now he has begun to make secret arrangements.
But what he didn't expect at this time was that his plan would eventually go wrong due to one incident.
At this time, in the high-energy radiation belt area, a player is controlling Euglena to search inside.
This player feels that there is a high probability that this starry sky beast will hide in this place, because he believes that this starry sky beast survives by absorbing material energy.
And the large amount of energy spread in this high-energy radiation area might be liked by this starry sky beast, so he decided to try his luck here.
Of course, this is just his wishful thinking, but it is normal for players to do whatever they think of. But at this moment, he did not know that there was a fleet not far away heading towards this place. Bian came.
This fleet is the fleet belonging to the civilization affiliated with the Black Legion of the Empire.
Initially, they were planning to go directly to the target area, but when they passed by this high-energy radiation area, they discovered something strange. The area and energy dissipation of this high-energy radiation area were really abnormal.
Although they can deduce based on the layout of the surrounding galaxies, it is still possible to form a high-energy radiation area here.
However, this kind of radiation area cannot theoretically be maintained stably for a long time, but when the fleet passed by this time, they found that this area had existed for at least hundreds of millions of years.
As advanced civilizations, they naturally have their own research on various scenes in the universe, so they concluded at a glance that this high-energy radiation area might be a little fishy.
There happened to be no movement from the starry sky beast over there, so they decided to conduct a simple scan of the entire high-energy radiation area to see if they could find any clues.
And just when they sent a reconnaissance ship in to scan, they suddenly discovered something special.
That's right, the special thing they discovered was the eyeworm controlled by the player, and judging from the situation, this eyeworm did not find their reconnaissance ship.
"It seems that what I thought was correct, the starry sky beast was indeed discovered by the insect swarm." At this moment in the fleet, the fleet commander couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the eyeworms on the screen projection.
"I'm thinking that maybe they must have discovered some clues about our fleet when they came over, so they sent out Euglena to search for traces of us in high-energy radiation."
Having said this, the commander glanced at his subordinates and then ordered, "Since they can send eyeworms to search here, it proves that they have not really discovered us. Now they are just in a state of suspicion."
"So what we need to do now is hide ourselves and tell the troops on the front line the current situation."
Hearing what this commander said, a commander next to him with a similar status asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want to set up a trap and wait for the insect swarm to take the bait?"
The commander nodded at this, "If I guessed correctly, the fleet near our starry sky beast has been discovered by this group of bugs."
"At this time, they are hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities. When we fight with the starry sky giant, they will come and attack us."
Speaking of this, the commander's eyes were a little deep, "In that case, I can just use the trick."
Having said this, he had already made a decision in his mind, and without much delay, he immediately withdrew the scout ship and called in the fleet, heading towards the area where the starry sky beast was.
During the voyage, the commander divided the fleet into 30,000 warships to support the frontline troops.
The remaining 70,000 ships were hidden.
Their purpose of doing this is also very simple. There are only 20,000 warships on the front line. If they fight against the starry sky beast, they have little chance of winning.
But if the number of battleships is increased to 50,000, it will be easy to defeat this starry sky beast.
It's just that this number of battleships will still suffer a lot of losses if they fight against the starry sky giant, and the swarm of insects will definitely be observing everything in the dark.
There is a high probability that they will wait until both sides are harmed and then send swarms of insects to attack them. When they think they have a chance of victory, their hidden troops will come out and catch them by surprise.
And he didn't need to worry about these bugs swarming away. This time they carried the most advanced detector. With the tracking of this detector, these bugs would never get rid of the detector's tracking unless they committed suicide.
At this time, the imperial commander who had made a plan began to order his men to execute it.
After everything was ready, only 50,000 imperial warships were seen, setting off towards the location of the starry sky beast. At this time, their every move was naturally watched by Kassadin.
"It seems that their supporting fleet is already in place, and the next step should be to launch an attack on the starry sky beast."
Having said this, Kassadin immediately reported the current situation to the Zerg Queen, and after receiving the news, the Zerg Queen naturally mobilized a large number of bugs immediately to prepare for the opportunity.
This time the empire's actions somewhat disrupted Kassadin's plan, because Kassadin has not yet uncovered Jiang Yao's lair.
Originally, in Kassadin's plan, he wanted to find out Jiang Yao's lair first, and then seduce Jiang Yao's men to discover the starry sky beast.
The discovery of the starry sky beast means that they will also discover the empire, and the same empire will inevitably discover them.
These two people are bound to start a battle for the starry sky beast. Of course, they can't fight in front of the starry sky beast, otherwise the starry sky beast will be in big trouble.
Therefore, the area where they fight will most likely be some distance away from the starry sky beast. When they are fighting, they can send bugs to lure the starry sky beast there.
In this way, Jiang Yao, the empire and the starry sky beasts are bound to start a melee.
No matter which one of the three of them wins, the other party is bound to suffer heavy losses, and at this moment he has another card, which is the fleet organized by the Destroyer. It will deliberately make some noise to attract the Destroyer organization.
In this case, the Destroyer organization will inevitably attack the victorious party, and the victorious party's counterattack will also cause considerable harm to them.
After the destroyed organization cleans up the victorious party, it will be his own performance in the end. At that time, the strength of their battleships will be greatly weakened, and the number of his own insect swarms is large enough, so he wants to take them down. It's not difficult to get off.
In other words, if he continues to operate like this, he can basically destroy all three parties and pocket all the resources here.
His plan was originally designed to be seamless, but the biggest problem was that he did not expect the empire's support fleet to arrive so quickly.
And he may never know that the empire at this time is already aware of the existence of the insect swarm, and has designed a set of tactics around him.
Kassadin has never thought that he has been inadvertently exposed to the eyes of the enemy by the players.
Without knowing this important piece of information, he temporarily changed his tactics. After both the Empire and the Starry Sky Beast were harmed, he would then launch a surprise attack to capture both of them.
After collecting both of these goods, he then tried to find a way to dig out Jiang Yao's lair, and then lure the Destroyer Civilization Fleet that arrived later.
Although there was some deviation from his initial plan, for Kassadin, as long as the final result was consistent, it would be fine.
In this way, under his surveillance, the empire's 50,000 vanguard troops had arrived near the starry sky beast, and as soon as they arrived, the starry sky beast naturally discovered them.
Driven by instinct, the starry sky beast launched an attack on them.
This starry sky beast was obviously an attacking type, as the blue patterns all over its huge body suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, countless beams of light were shot out from his body and began to strike everything around him indiscriminately.
Then the energy balls in its mouth began to gather, and the next moment a beam of energy was shot out and pointed directly at the flagship of the fleet.
After a set of attacks, the empire's fleet was instantly defeated by more than a hundred ships, and the shield of the flagship that was hit also lost more than half.
And just before the imperial fleet had time to breathe, the second wave of attacks from the starry sky beasts followed.
When the second wave of attacks ended, one of the empire's dreadnoughts was directly penetrated on the spot. Although it was not destroyed, it had lost its combat capability at this time.
Of course, while the starry sky beast was attacking, Jian Chun from the empire was not idle either. They were also constantly attacking the starry sky beast.
But obviously, their attacks did not do much damage to the starry sky beast.
If this Qing Dynasty continues to develop, this starry sky beast is very likely to destroy them all, but the commander of the empire's fleet is naturally very clear about the situation in front of him.
However, they still know a lot about the starry sky beasts.
He knew that the starry sky beast in its youth had a fatal flaw, that is, its own energy reserves were very low.
This flaw will only be made up for when it reaches adulthood, so this is its weakness.
At this time, the fleet commander knew very well that he only needed to make good use of this flaw of the starry sky beast, and then it would be easy to win.
So while the fleet was attacking, he divided the fleet into multiple squads, and then scattered them around the starry sky beast. The purpose was to let the starry sky endure the constant use of large-scale AOE to consume its energy reserves.
Although he is very aware that this will cause a very embarrassing problem, that is, his battle losses will be very high, but isn't this the purpose of his battle this time?
This is to let the insects see that his current state is not as good as expected, and then the insects will inevitably take action against him, and by then it will be time for them to fight back.
And when they successfully counterattacked, the mission this time was successfully completed. Thinking of this, the fleet commander couldn't help but feel that this expedition was really lucky.
Originally he thought this mission would last for a long time, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly. Of course, this was also a good thing for him.
After all, no one wants to stay on this battleship for a long time. The current commander just wants to complete the mission quickly and then return to the home planet to rest for a few days.
As the battle continued like this, as time passed, the starry sky beast gradually became weak. At this time, the fleet commander knew that this was their best opportunity to attack.
As a result, under his command, the fleet attacked more fiercely. Although the starry sky beast, which had almost consumed its energy at this time, was still attacking, it was obvious that its attack frequency was not as high as before.
What follows is a tug-of-war. It is basically unrealistic for the starry sky beast with little energy to escape, and its attack power has also dropped to a low point.
So at this time it can't cause much damage to the Imperial fleet at all.
Of course, although the starry sky beast is not very intelligent, it does not mean that it is a fool. Soon it also discovered that the situation at hand was not good for it,
So it immediately adjusted its body and wanted to escape, but as mentioned at the beginning, it is very difficult for a starry sky beast without energy to escape.
So when he started to escape, the Empire's troops immediately followed him closely, chasing them while launching a fierce attack on the starry sky beast.
At this time, they knew very well that the next step was a war of attrition, and they only needed to slowly consume this starry sky beast to death.
In this battle, only 10,000 warships out of 50,000 were left, but for them, as long as they could capture this starry sky beast, they would not lose even if the entire army was annihilated.
As they pursued all the way, the condition of this starry sky beast became worse and worse. After about two days of pursuit, this starry sky beast was also covered with scars.
Now its speed is several times slower than before. You don't need to think about it to know that this starry sky beast has entered a state of exhaustion. If nothing goes wrong, it may be about to fart.
Kassadin, who was secretly watching all this at this moment, naturally knew that the time was ripe and now was the best time to take action!
Immediately after hearing his order, the swarm of insects that had already gathered around immediately flew towards the area where the starry sky beast was.
At this moment, nearly 100,000 alien dragons and 80,000 corruptors were dispatched, targeting the starry sky beasts and the imperial warships in the battlefield.
