Stukov's tactics are very simple, even a little too simple.
It just gathered all the swarm troops, led by three Colossi, followed by all other units, surrounded the saboteurs with a swarm of Hydralisks, and started to advance directly towards the protoss base on the cliff.
And just as it expected, the insect swarm continued to encounter resistance from the opponent's small forces on the way forward. These forces were centered on a Keldarin crystal and three to four photon turrets as fulcrums.
, equipped with a varying number of mechanical sentries as a defensive stronghold composed of mobile forces.
This kind of defensive stronghold is a typical implementation method of turret advancement tactics.
In the face of the superior strength of the insect swarm, this kind of defensive stronghold was of no use at all, and was turned into a pile of scrap metal in front of the powerful firepower of the destroyers and brood lords.
Even the purpose of delaying time cannot be achieved.
Under Stukov's order, the insect swarm gathered together tightly, tore out these defensive strongholds one by one with a rapid and determined pace, and advanced towards the opponent's base.
Finally, after removing the sixth defensive stronghold, the Protoss commander could no longer sit still. He began to send out the remaining flying troops to harass the Zerg attacking troops from the side, intending to delay the advance of the Zerg swarm.
But Stukov had already expected this. The huge alien dragon swarm was divided into dozens of defensive forces, wandering on the flanks of the insect swarm, taking advantage of its high mobility to counterattack and attack the protoss aircraft.
Hunt and kill.
After losing hundreds of drones again, the Protoss commander finally understood what kind of opponent he was facing.
He began to shrink all remaining troops toward the base, intending to use the terrain advantage to make the final resistance.
Although this reaction still did not deviate from Stukov's prediction, it still brought some trouble to the final battle of the insect swarm to eliminate the resistance of the protoss.
Since the cliff where the Protoss main base is located is relatively high, the captured colossus cannot climb up from behind the cliff. In addition, there seems to be some unknown defensive weapon in this main base. It actually injured one who tried to get around.
The Cordyceps Lord launched an attack from behind the cliff, so Stukov could only launch a strong attack from the front of the cliff towards the protoss' final line of defense.
The main base of the protoss was almost filled with photon cannons. When the vanguard of the swarm entered the range of these automatic defense weapons, a large number of photon cannon shells almost obscured the dark starry sky.
Moreover, due to the condescending position of the opponent and the inability of the Overwatch King to get close to the opponent's defense line to direct the saboteur bombardment, the Exterminators who were responsible for the first wave of offensive missions suffered considerable casualties.
However, fortunately, this casualty proved to be worthwhile in the end, because the exterminators relied on their own flesh and blood to open a gap for the rear troops in the photon turret defense line.
Subsequently, the mixed army of springtails and cockroaches successfully filled the gap left by the exterminators, gradually widening the gap.
However, in the central area of the Protoss Base, a bright white beam will be emitted from time to time. This beam is so powerful that units hit by it have basically no chance of surviving.
Even two of the three captured Colossi were destroyed by this beam.
Fortunately, the shooting speed of this kind of beam weapon is quite slow, and it can only focus on valuable targets. After Stukov saw through this, he let the king insects break into the photon turret defense line at any cost to destroy it.
The soldiers guided the bombardment.
At the same time, infected people and poisonous bugs also rushed to the front line, and the spreading bacterial fog and a large number of mutants quickly accelerated the breakthrough speed of the insect swarm.
With the firepower support of saboteurs and brood lords, the defense of the protoss base was soon on the verge of collapse. The protoss commander had no choice but to send out all existing mechanical sentries and drones to reinforce the defense line in an attempt to delay the swarm.
attack.
However, this was the moment Stukov was waiting for.
At the moment when the protoss's final mobile force reached the defense line, the king bugs that had been ordered by Stukov to break into the battlefield suddenly dropped in altitude and withstood the attacks of photon turrets, mechanical sentries, and unknown beam weapons.
Hundreds of poisonous banelings were thrown into the center of the protoss defense line.
With a burst of poisonous slurry flying, the last line of defense of the protoss was shattered, and the mutalisks and corruptors began to rush forward, destroying the protoss drones that came to support.
The large army of insects also rushed into the base and began to destroy the Keldarin crystals hidden deep inside.
As the Keldarin crystals were extinguished one by one, the operation of the entire Protoss base quickly came to a standstill. The photon turrets that were still resisting went out one after another, and the final resistance of the Protoss base also disappeared.
It turned into nothing.
Stukov arrived at the battlefield riding the Overlord Insect, and an insect mother reported to him that a special protoss facility had been discovered, and there were protoss biological signal fluctuations in this protoss facility.
And that powerful beam weapon is also launched from this facility.
Stukov saw at a glance the special protoss facility that the insect mothers were talking about—it was a conical building half-way inserted into the star sand on the surface of the asteroid.
More than a hundred poisonous fungus bugs are shooting inhibitory spores at the building next to it. The top of the building is constantly gathering a little spiritual energy, and then quickly disintegrates under the interference of the inhibitory bacteria mist. Obviously, this
The protoss inside the facility did not give up resistance.
but......
Stukov carefully observed this so-called special "facility" and felt that it was more like a ship than a building?
It is very large, much larger than the average star spirit hub, and its height is even twice as high as the Colossus, even if half of it has been inserted into the star sand.
There are some cracks on its surface that eventually extend underneath it.
This is obviously a scar left by the impact of the spacecraft with the ground when it landed.
However, Stukov did not find any entrances and exits on the part of the hull that was exposed to the star sand. Obviously, the entrances and exits should be on the part of the hull that was buried in the star sand.
Stukov looked up and found that the protoss inside the ship was still persistently trying to use the ship's weapon system to attack the insect swarm, and he couldn't help but become a little impatient.
It diffused the psychic signal, successfully connected to the ship's psychic communicator, and then sent an ultimatum to the protoss in the ship through the communicator.
"Protoss in the ship, listen to me, give up resistance immediately, open the hatch, and surrender to the fleet of the great swarm master! Otherwise, I will open fire and destroy your ship! I will give you three points...
Damn it!"
Only halfway through Stukov's ultimatum was sent, the communication system in the ship was forcibly shut down by the other party. It was obvious that the other party was prepared to resist to the end.
"Destroyer! Blow up the opponent's weapon system! Maybe a tiger with its teeth pulled out will know how to talk to people!"
Stukov gave an order, and hundreds of burning bile shells flew from behind, hitting the ship's spiritual energy gathering point directly, and a violent blue fire suddenly erupted from there.
After the explosion, there was no more psionic reaction at the psionic gathering point. It was obvious that this last weapon system had been destroyed.
"What do you say now? Are you going to seal yourselves in this iron coffin and wait for death, or come out and surrender on your own? Or...should I let these little cuties pick you up?"
Stukov stroked the ferocious head of a springtail next to him, used his powerful spiritual energy to forcefully open the other party's communication system, and said in a threatening and playful voice.
