At this time, even if the energy creatures know that they have been attacked, there is nothing they can do because the players' attack has already begun.
In just the first round of fighting, there were many energy creatures that were easily eliminated by the players, and while these energy creatures had to withstand pressure from the front row, they also had to consider the back row.
The two-sided attack made this group of energy creatures feel powerless, and at this time they seemed to have discovered a problem.
Even though the enemy's front row looked powerful, they actually couldn't cause much effective damage. Seeing the leader of the energy creatures here, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
After observation, he suddenly discovered that among the bugs in the front row, most of the bugs' attacks would not cause any harm to them.
"Fake?" Looking at the fierce swarm of insects charging in the front row, the leader of the energy creatures couldn't help but feel a little confused.
And soon he determined the general situation of the opponent's front row. The large individuals behind the opponent's front row were all fake. Although the leader of the energy creatures did not know what method the bugs used to make these fake. Exactly like the real thing.
Even they couldn't tell if it was fake, but what he was sure of was that the enemy had done it, and the enemy had successfully confused them in this way.
At least half of the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops were fakes, and the remaining small cannon fodder was not included. Only the tens of thousands of bugs that attacked them from the rear were real.
The leader of the energy creatures who knew this situation was also very angry at the players' operations, so he immediately ordered the entire group of energy creatures to adjust their formation.
He needs to bring the defensive energy creatures in front to him.
This thing sounds simple to say, but it is very difficult to operate, although they can make orderly adjustments to the lineup in a very short period of time. But don't forget that this is a battlefield, and the players' fierce attacks are still there.
After all, players won't stop attacking you when you adjust your lineup. The more this time, the more powerful the players will be.
After their lineup was adjusted, just when they thought they could compete head-on with the players, another accident happened.
I saw a few huge thunder beasts in the enemy's formation, and suddenly a red light lit up under their feet, followed by an incredulous look from the creature leader.
The Thunder Beast and the Corruptor beside him disappeared under their noses in an instant.
The next moment when the Thunder Beasts and the others appeared, they were already behind the defensive energy creatures.
This wave of operations shocked the leader of the energy creatures. He never expected that these bugs actually had this kind of technology.
This wave of operations by the bugs made his efforts just now in vain. In order to adjust the lineup, he endured the damage of the bugs and suffered countless casualties. Under such circumstances, he finally completed the adjustment of the lineup, and the result was that in an instant If he moved it, he would have to do it again.
Although the players' Thunder Beasts cannot take away all the bugs, for the players, they do not need to take away everything, they only need to take away the high-damage Corruptors.
As for the other bugs, just stay where they are and let them distract the enemy's firepower to deal with the damage. Although the damage caused by these bugs to energy creatures is limited, once they rush into the large army to disrupt the formation and engage in close combat, then Their destructive power is also terrifying.
Therefore, the energy creatures had to use some defensive creatures to deal with the batch of bugs left on the front line.
I have to say that the players' routines are both feasible and disgusting, but that's how the real battlefield is. No matter how dirty your routine is, as long as it's effective, you have to use it.
But the only good thing is that because there are so many energy creatures, even if players use various tricks, the damage they can cause is extremely limited. After all, the number is here, even if they die, ten players will die. They alone can still continue to fight this battle.
But for the energy creature leaders, this is the worst-case scenario, because such a casualty rate means that they need to consume a lot of resources and time if they want to make up for it.
In a cosmic war, it is most unwise to use lives to fill up, because the cost is too high. Except for special creatures like the Zerg that rely on numbers to win, most creatures in the universe will consider controlling casualties when fighting. Rate.
But now the leaders of the energy creatures have no other choice. If they want to defeat the insect, they have no choice but to risk their lives. The lack of information about the insect and the hasty attack have led to this battle, and they are destined to win. Extremely difficult.
Although the leaders of the energy creatures in the end knew very well that they could wipe out this group of bugs, they also knew very well that if they wiped out the other group, they would not have much left on their side.
"But such a sacrifice is worth it." The leader of the energy creatures said calmly.
"In the evolutionary history of cosmic creatures, especially races like ours that are very powerful individually. Although races like ours are powerful individually, they also have a fatal flaw."
"That is the reproductive capacity and the growth cycle of the organism itself are very long."
"And any ethnic group in this universe that is similar to ours will be like this. This may be a restriction imposed by the laws of the universe on ethnic groups like ours."
"So for a tribe like ours, it takes a lot of time for each tribe member to grow from birth to growth."
"It is also for this reason that every one of our tribesmen is precious. We are like this, and so are the other people."
"And through previous battles, we can't tell that the opponent's strength is much higher than ours. Under such circumstances, the opponent's individual soldier growth cycle will only be longer than ours, not shorter."
"Because this is the law of the universe and the limitation of these special groups in the universe. This cannot be changed."
Speaking of this, the leader of the energy race looked at the fighting insect swarm, and then said lightly.
"And based on the number of troops you send each time, you can roughly deduce how many members of your tribe there are. From the time you met us until now, you only have 50,000 or 60,000. This is enough to show that your tribe is not large in number."
"If this group of your troops is eliminated, it will be a heavy blow to you, and the most important thing is that we have to eliminate you too."
"Your combat capabilities are so powerful. If these tens of thousands of troops return to your tribe, their combat effectiveness will definitely be higher than it is now. So before we start a war with your tribe, what we have to do is Try every means to weaken the number of your tribe.”
Having said this, the leader of the energy creatures ordered the tribesmen to attack at all costs.
Because in his eyes, the tens of thousands of players who want to defeat him can still do it, although they will pay a certain price.
"Although it will cost a lot, it is much less difficult to kill all 50,000 people with 300,000 people versus 50,000 people than to kill 50,000 people with 1 million people versus 800,000 people, and the losses will also be smaller. Much.”
This is what he thinks. When facing someone whose strength is higher than his own, what he fears is that enemies will get together. As long as the enemies don't get together in a swarm, then crushing them by numbers is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way to do it. While he was still thinking about these issues, he didn't know that in the face of such a huge group of energy creatures, the players naturally knew that it would be unrealistic to resist them forcefully, and the final result of a head-on battle would only be their annihilation. .
After all, the opponent's strength is not weak. Although he can restrain himself based on his talent, it cannot make up for the gap in quantity among several categories.
So players have plan B for these enemies.
"Brothers have prepared low-level troops and gathered here." After another round of teleportation, the players gathered together again. Compared with the previous time when they gathered together and teleported immediately, this time the salted fish began to move the players They all gathered.
Immediately afterwards, a group of alien dragons flew over, and then some baneling players consciously climbed onto these alien dragons.
This wave of players is ready to play the old plan again.
Compared with the previous use of Corruptors, because this race was naturally restrained by them, they chose the Mutalisks, which are more mobile.
Naturally, players don't know how to operate energy creatures. Only after suffering any losses can they understand the enemy's tricks.
The empire was like this, and this group of energy creatures was no exception. The next moment the teleportation started, just when the leader of the energy creatures thought they were about to change positions again, a sudden change occurred.
This time, he found that the bugs did not teleport to the rear to accompany them in the guerrilla fight. This time, a group of bugs teleported to the center of their lineup, and then the bugs immediately spread to the surroundings.
When he saw this scene, he instinctively had a bad premonition.
He didn't dare to think too much, so he immediately issued an order for the tribesmen to clean up these bugs as soon as possible.
But what he never expected was that when these alien dragons were killed, huge energy swept over the next moment, and the entire area was swept by a terrifying energy.
Although the damage caused by units such as Banelings to them is extremely limited, the number of Banelings sent by players this time is not large.
As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and the most important thing is that the blood volume of their group is thin.
Therefore, this wave of operations by the players still caused them heavy losses.
The players who had done all this continued to fight guerrillas against them. After the explosion was over and the riots in the tribe ended, when they entered the battlefield again, they had lost nearly 10,000 tribesmen.
Including the previous losses, they have lost at least about 30,000 energy creatures so far, while the players have only lost three to four thousand.
The 10-fold numerical difference made the leader realize that the situation was not good.
Based on the players' style of play and the number of players, the leader made a simple estimate and found out that by the end of the fight, their entire army might be wiped out and there might still be thousands of enemies left.
It was obvious that the leader of the energy creatures knew that it was unwise to continue fighting, and he did not expect that this time, he would lose so miserably.
It should be said that he was not cautious enough. If he could bring all the troops at home, then they could easily win this battle, but he did not.
Mainly because he wants to bring as much as he can while ensuring adequate defense at home, and this amount is the limit that it can bring out. If he wants to bring more, it will involve the safety of his home nest. question.
At the same time, within his estimation, he thought that this quantity should be completely enough to clear out the enemy, but he never expected that it would be such a result.
But now he finally understands that the enemy's single combat capability is stronger than theirs, and the enemy's evolutionary technology is also stronger than theirs.
He knew very well that it was difficult for creatures like them to evolve a special ability. Compared with some technological civilizations, the time and energy they needed to spend were many times that of those civilizations.
But whenever they evolve a special ability, their combat level will make a qualitative leap.
However, now the leader couldn't help but feel extremely surprised when he looked at these bugs. Compared to them, these bugs had evolved too meticulously, and each different bug had its own independent special ability.
Different bugs use such special abilities to cooperate with each other to improve their overall combat effectiveness. If they want to evolve to this level, this leader knows how difficult it is.
This is at least the result of hundreds of millions or even billions of years, otherwise they would never reach this level.
Although they have reached this level, they cannot come without any cost. The number of ethnic groups is probably their biggest price. Everything is mutual. When you get something good, you also need to consider the harm it can bring to you.
"If numbers are their only breakthrough, then all we can do is reduce their numbers."
Thinking of this, the leader looked at the fallen clansmen on the battlefield, and after a long time he made a decision.
"Retreat!"
That's right, he chose to retreat.
Although they can now try their best to consume the enemy as much as possible, this leader knows very well that it is unwise to do so, because it will cause the entire group of warriors they brought to be annihilated.
If something like this happens, then the remaining troops in their lair will not be enough to support the next war with this ethnic group, so what he has to do now is to retain his strength.
Conduct roundabout battles with these groups in the surrounding area to prevent them from escaping here.
Then other warriors who were secretly adjusting themselves came here to meet up, and when the number was large enough, they launched a general attack on them.
Make up for the gap in quality through quantity.
After making the decision at this time, the leader of the energy creatures also directed the tribe to evacuate.
