Chapter 466 Chapter 459: Fighting with Energy Creatures
Since it was the first time for the players to see this kind of energy creature, they were very cautious about their battle plan.
"Brothers, I have told you the general situation. What needs to be discussed now is how to deal with this group of enemies."
At this time, in the virtual conference room, players are gathering together to discuss combat plans against energy creatures.
Because this creature is too special, and no one knows its basic situation, it is unwise to start a war rashly under such circumstances, so after discussion with the players, he decided to call everyone in his guild together. , let’s brainstorm together.
At this time, everyone is discussing this enemy.
"According to what Xianyu and the others said, I think this creature should also be a cosmic creature. Maybe you can get crystals by killing them."
This player said, and the other person nodded.
"It goes without saying that this must be a cosmic creature. You must know that we were able to obtain crystals when we killed aliens. Although we killed alien bosses, this kind of creature is obviously a level higher than aliens. And look at them It looks like it’s made of crystals.”
"By the way, Xianyu, do you know the total number of those creatures?"
After hearing everyone's questions, Xianyu also explained what he had learned so far.
"We have found a total of about 40,000 of them there so far. There should be many more that we have not discovered, but we estimate that the number there will not exceed 60,000."
"But we don't know the specific situation of their group. It's possible that the ones here are just the vanguard team, and his large army may be wretched somewhere. So after taking this factor into account, we don't know much about their specific situation. ”
After hearing the salted fish novel, everyone fell into deep thought.
"If that's the case, we have to consider their hidden numbers. Judging from the current situation on Xianyu's side, they have no chance of winning against this wave."
"Yes, although Xianyu and the others are elite troops, their numbers are too small."
"There is only one solution for the present, and that is for us to send troops out for reinforcements. However, considering safety, the group of soldiers we sent out will not be able to come back after joining them."
"That is to say, this batch of soldiers will also join the free arms."
"So what we have to do now is to figure out the specific benefits of these creatures. If the benefits are relatively low, the soldiers we sent out will be at a huge loss. If the benefits are high enough, then things will be easier to handle. ”
After hearing what this player said, Tudou said: "Indeed, this is the most important thing. Although we have discovered them, we don't dare to do anything to them now."
"Because once we attack them, we will be exposed, and they will definitely be on guard. If such a situation occurs, it will be quite troublesome for us to fight him, so what we can do now is to hide ourselves, and then Know their approximate numbers and nothing more.”
After he finished speaking, Xianyu added.
"Not only are we unable to determine what items they drop, but we are also unable to determine their strength."
"So now their only value to us is that they may drop crystals, but this is only possible. Whether they will drop crystals or not will only be known after the actual battle."
"It is undoubtedly a gamble. If the bet wins, then we will make a lot of money. If the bet loses, we will lose nothing."
After hearing this, everyone understood what was the biggest obstacle to this operation.
"When we encounter them, there may be groups behind them, or there may be more, so the number of troops we send will start at least 40,000 to 50,000."
"With such a large amount, the capital investment alone is a huge expense. In addition, we are still not sure whether the other party can really explode crystals, and we are also not sure what the other party's combat effectiveness is."
"If the opponent's combat effectiveness is weak, then everything is easy to say, but if the opponent's combat effectiveness is stronger and does not send us out, these 450,000 to 50,000 will be for nothing and even our elite troops may be sent away together." < br>
"Yes, this is the most troublesome problem we are facing now."
"Brothers, this is a gamble."
"If there was no starry sky beast layer, our operation would be simple, but because of the starry sky beast, it would be a little more complicated for us to do it."
Players are also talking about this matter.
Because of this action, their investment rate was very high, but the rate of return was certain, so players were extremely cautious about this incident.
Compared with the previous attacks, the players could see benefits, but this time there was no benefit at all, so after some discussion, the players decided to send 50,000 troops, and most of the evolutionary stages of these arms were Wandering around the second and third stages.
It's really not worthwhile to send those who are too advanced in evolution, because once they come into contact with the escape team, they will not be able to return to the insect nest even if they win in the end.
These support troops can only follow the wandering troops and wander around in the universe together.
Compared with elite units, these units that have joined the universe will suffer a very high loss rate once they enter into battle with other civilizations, and they will not receive timely supplies, and their continuous combat capabilities will be relatively poor. Under such circumstances, these arms are most likely to be given free of charge.
Because the basic attributes of elite units are high enough, after completing a battle, their remaining energy may be able to support the second battle, or support them to find enough energy. This is the gap between the two.
So this wave of players can be said to have spent a lot of money, but after all, so many resources have been invested in it, so the players also planned very carefully for the later operations.
First of all, players estimated the number of enemies to be around 200,000.
The combat plan they formulated was also a combat plan against about 200,000 enemies. Among the support troops they sent out, some were production units such as a swarm of insect hosts.
First, they need to carry out repairs in a nearby galaxy so that these production units can produce enough cannon fodder bugs.
After these cannon fodder bugs reach a certain scale, they will take the lead in launching the first wave of attacks on the energy creatures. When the energy creatures fight, the main force of the players will come out to conduct a surprise attack. In this case, the first round of attacks will be carried out. During the fight, players can minimize their losses as much as possible.
In this way, after determining the general idea, the players began to prepare, and Jiang Yao was naturally paying close attention to this matter.
After all, what he lacks most now is the resource of crystals. If these energy beings can really produce crystals, then he will no longer need to worry about crystals.
Therefore, Jiang Yao is also paying close attention to this battle, and if it is confirmed that those creatures can really drop crystals, Jiang Yao may take a risk and drive directly to the insect nest.
Although after doing this, the insect nest is very likely to be targeted by the starry sky behemoth, but it doesn't matter to Jiang Yao if he is targeted, because the crystals of that magnitude are enough to make the soldiers under his player's hand more powerful. Evolved, by that time he would not be afraid even if the Death Star behemoth came.
The only thing you worry about now is that once the players evolve to that level, you will probably choose to attack the civilization hiding in the dark, and how you respond is the key.
However, he cannot consider these issues for the time being, because he will only consider these issues after the players are at a major disadvantage in the battle.
Just like that, two months later.
Jiang Yao used the insect nest to send the players to a certain galaxy and then left.
After Jiang Yao left, the players immediately gathered here and began to use insect swarm hosts and other units with production capabilities to explode troops here.
The whole process is relatively simple for the players to operate. Soon the players will have units of a certain size. After having the units, the next thing will be easier to handle.
The players took this wave of troops to join the other members of the wandering team. After the players gathered together, they discussed a rough combat plan and immediately started taking action.
First, the little bugs swarm towards the area where life is lurking, while the large army of players sneaks around to their rear and begins to wait for the opponent to fight.
In this way, as time goes by, the cannon fodder bugs are getting closer and closer to the location of the energy creatures, and the energy creatures naturally discover them.
Seeing that the other party was not doing well, they immediately attacked the cannon fodder bugs. Only at this moment did the players know what the specific situation of these creatures was.
The strength of these creatures is actually quite good. Each of them has an unevolved flying dragon. Of course, this strength refers to attack power here.
As for defense, because they are energy bodies, ordinary physical attacks will cause minimal damage to them. If you want to cause direct damage to them, you have to use the damage caused by soldiers such as Devourers to be more effective.
Fortunately, players have already considered this, so the number of Devourers they carry among the units in this battle plan is actually quite large.
Therefore, the players did not worry about the output. After all the attention of this race was attracted by the bugs in front, the players' large forces immediately launched an attack on them. In addition to the large forces, the players also Start taking cover in their respective positions.
The main purpose of these hidden things is to track the fleeing energy beings and see if they can find their lair. In this way, everything is going according to the players' plan.
In the battlefield, densely packed bugs were seen fighting with these energy creatures. Every time these energy creatures attacked, a cannon fodder bug would die.
If a cannon fodder insect wants to kill an energy creature, they have to pay hundreds or even thousands of times the price to complete this task. Of course, it doesn't matter to them whether they can kill these creatures. , because their main purpose is to be cannon fodder.
To the players, it doesn't matter how many these little free bugs die.
Just like this, watching the battle between the two sides enter a fierce stage, the players saw that there were no energy creatures coming to support from other areas. It was basically certain that there was only this wave of energy creatures in this area. After confirming this matter , the players immediately began to attack the energy life.
And when the energy beings who were fighting the bugs discovered the sudden appearance of a large army of players, they also realized that the situation was not good. As the attack began, the energy beings were attacking at extremely fast speeds under the attack of the bugs and the players. The speed decreases.
After the battle, the players also have a clear understanding of these energy creatures. First of all, the situation of these energy creatures is similar to that of the insect swarm. Different energy creatures have different strengths.
And the most important thing is that they are immune to most energy damage, and physical damage has little effect on them, so the strength of this kind of creature must take into account its talents.
In general, after the players' summary, they believe that if these creatures are not against the insect swarm, they will be against other civilizations in the universe.
So even if the technological level of this civilization is much higher than theirs, there is still no benefit, because most civilizations in the universe now, except for the Zerg, basically use energy damage as their attack method.
They basically don't have this kind of attack method of the Insect Devourer.
The main reason why the insect swarm can have such attack methods is due to fighting void creatures in another universe.
The characteristics of these energy creatures are similar to those of void creatures.
Just like the previous battle where the void creatures came to this universe and fought against the empire, the damage caused by the void creatures was simply a scratch to the empire's civilized flagship. However, the empire's civilized flagship has been dealing with the void creatures for so long. The reason is that because of its characteristics, the empire's attacks cause very little damage.
Players have an advantage when fighting void creatures, mainly because corruptors have agent bonuses against void creatures, and corruptors who have undergone systematic evolution have a higher bonus.
Although players do not have special bonuses for this kind of energy life form, even if they do not receive bonuses, they will not be able to withstand real damage from players for long.
While this creature is immune to most attacks, it also has fatal flaws.
That is, its basic attributes are not high. To put it simply, if the damage caused by the enemy to it is not completely effective, it can withstand it for a long time, but once the enemy has the ability to cause full damage to him, it will not be able to sustain a few shots.
For these reasons, as soon as the main force of the players fought against these energy creatures, the number of these energy creatures began to decrease significantly.
