In this battle, the swarm fleet lost eleven Corruptors and more than 300 Mutalisks (annihilated by the strange abilities of some small tentacle appendages). The two main Brood Lords also suffered varying degrees of injuries.
This loss may not seem like much, but it exposed a major flaw in the swarm fleet.
That is the lack of medium-sized escort body battleships with strong firepower to escort the brood lords as the main force.
As the main escort force of the fleet, the Corruptors perform well against small and medium-sized assault ships, but they are difficult to pose a threat to the enemy's large assault ships.
Its firepower projection capability is insufficient. Although the weapon is powerful enough, its firing speed is not enough. It is easy for large and well-armored enemy ships to forcefully break through the defense circle by relying on their armor and structural strength.
Moreover, the swarm fleet also desperately lacks flagship units and lacks the decisive force in large-scale space wars.
Stukov reported these two deficiencies back with the report and hoped that the master could give clear instructions on the fleet's next move.
Although this battle ended with the insect fleet being repelled, fortunately they were not without gains.
During the retreat, Stukov ordered the king worm to collect a large number of tentacle limbs and bring them back. These precious biological tissues were loaded into the belly bag of the king worm carried by the Corruptor who sent the report this time.
.
Upon receiving this news, Xue Hua immediately ordered the Corruptors to carry the King Insects to the base area of the mountain belly swarm controlled by Zagara, and let the Overlord Insects unload all biological samples there, and the Insect Mother would remove these severed limbs.
The sample is absorbed into Abathur's evolution pit.
Xue Hua also issued a separate order in response to the fleet deficiencies reported by Stukov and the further instructions he requested.
The latest whereabouts report of the fleet brought back by the King Insect shows that they are still on the outskirts of that star system.
Xue Hua ordered them to return to the swarm base in the asteroid belt for supplies, and planned to hatch two more Brood Lords and thirty Corruptors to add to the swarm fleet.
As for the problem of fleet flaws, Xue Hua can't do anything about it now.
The Zerg air force is still the same units in the game, and no biological genes suitable for transformation into air force biological battleship units have been found recently.
Specimen No. 1, which originally had a glimmer of hope, has been put on hold for research due to the inability to unlock the genetic lock. Therefore, Xue Hua can only use quantity to make up for the fleet's configuration flaws for the time being.
But at the same time, he also ordered Abathur to shift the research direction again, focusing on the tentacle limbs that were brought back and the biological genes that have the potential to be transformed into battleship units, and strive to create a weapon that can make up for the shortcomings of the fleet in the shortest possible time.
A new type of biological battleship.
As for those empty protoss escape dormancy chambers, according to his speculation, it should be that the protoss' colony ship discovered the true face of the planet after being attracted by the huge biological force field fluctuations emitted by the planet and moving closer to it.
, but the ship was destroyed or damaged when escaping, so the empty dormant cabin appeared in the outer space orbit of that planet.
As for that weird planet that looks more like some kind of creature...
Xue Hua could only lament that the boundless universe is too weird. The Zerg still have a long way to go before they want to become flesh-eaters or even the rulers of this universe!
...
After understanding the latest movements of the fleet and making mission arrangements, Xue Hua diverted his attention from the main hive mind.
He opened his eyes gently and found a steaming dinner placed on the small wooden table in front of him.
Smelling the rich aroma of wheat cakes and barbecue strips with vegetables, a warm smile appeared on his lips.
Suddenly, he felt an uneasy gaze looking from the direction of the kitchen, so he raised his head and glanced there.
But he just happened to see a small animal hiding at the door of the kitchen with half of its face, quietly looking at him with a little aggrievedness.
Noticing Xue Hua looking over, the little animal immediately let out a panicked cry and retracted behind the door with a swipe.
Xue Hua shook his head in a funny way, then took out the tableware and started to feast on the food in front of him.
And when she saw that he was eating so deliciously, Funya, who was hiding behind the door, breathed a sigh of relief.
Hmm~ It turns out it’s not that my cooking skills have deteriorated, but that the owner was thinking about something just now~~~
Scared me to death. Scared me to death~
Funya patted her chest reassuringly, breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over to Xue Hua and put down a glass of drink.
"Master, eat slowly, Funia made this specially for you~ It's a greasy drink, it tastes good~"
"Thank you~ little girl~ you are really my caring baby~~" Xue Hua rubbed the little girl's head dotingly, causing her to laugh a series of "Oh hey hey~"~
"Wow~Funya~You are turning on the stove for the master again~~Ugh...I want to drink too~~" Annie suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, her face puffed up with anger, and she rushed up to hug her sister,
She screamed and started playing in the pile of cushions that rolled to the side with her.
The delicious dinner and two little girls with healing properties made Xue Hua's originally heavy heart relax a lot.
He once again realized the beauty of life and hoped to protect this beauty forever.
After dinner, Funya was still responsible for clearing the dishes, while Anne continued to do her seemingly endless housework.
With two virtuous mercenaries taking care of the housework, Xue Hua suddenly felt at ease again.
He walked into the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, lit a pipe, opened the blinds, and admired the charming night sky in this world...
...
...
In the splendid palace of Lu Gaoyin, King Jehaine also stood on the terrace admiring the night view.
But what he saw was not the stars in the sky, but the lights in Lu Gaoyin City below his feet.
This terrace is his favorite place to stay, because only here can he feel a sense of power.
His unfair position is an open secret in the entire city of Lugaoyin, so he attaches great importance to rights, and he is unwilling to give up even the smallest rights to anyone.
But there was no way. The man who helped him to the throne not only had great prestige in both the government and the public, but also held a terrifying secret power in his hands.
Therefore, out of necessity, Jie Hain could only hand over part of the government affairs to that person to show his "favor" and "trust" to their family.
His prestige was not enough, so he had to rely on the help of the three noble families to subdue the important officials in the royal court.
So he not only married that person's eldest granddaughter as his queen, but also made two other important members of the professional family the "royal shield".
The power of the royal family is being divided!
This is something he, who is extremely power-hungry, cannot tolerate!
But his strength is not enough, so even if he cannot tolerate it, he must endure it!
Although this kind of tolerance will make him compromise and give in on some things, for the ultimate goal, it is all worth it!
As long as he accomplishes that, no one in this country will be able to point fingers at him, and no one will be able to make him make any concessions!
Thinking of this, the handsome king's face suddenly darkened.
Because he thought of an incident that happened not long ago, an incident that caused him to lose face in front of his subjects.
"Have you found it?"
Jehein was silent for a while, then suddenly asked for no reason, as if he was asking about the vast desert outside the terrace.
But immediately a voice came from the dark quiet room behind the terrace. The voice was hoarse and low, like a traveler in the desert who was about to die of thirst.
"It was found out, Your Majesty, that the carriage did not enter the inner city through the main gate, but entered the upper city through the side gate of the harbor area. Moreover, after entering the upper city, the carriage did not go to the Mages Association, but went to Ye Lin.
'Tavern..."
"It's Atma! That bitch!" Hearing the name of the tavern, Jehein suddenly became angry unexpectedly, but after his face changed from green to white for a while, he quickly calmed down.
"Where does that Necromancer live now?"
For some reason, Jehein didn't ask about the conversation in the tavern at all. He just stayed silent for a moment and asked another question.
"Still in the upper city, but his detailed address has been obscured by the Mages Association using special techniques, so we can't know it yet..."
"Humph! The Master will..." Jie Haiyin suddenly let out a cold snort, and a pair of red phoenix eyes flashed with a fascinating cold light.
"Continue to investigate! Expand the scope of the investigation! I want to know their detailed whereabouts every step of the way!"
"Understood..." The hoarse voice agreed, but seemed to be hesitant.
"Is there anything else?" Jie Hain asked impatiently.
"Liu Zhen... has been brought back. His mental injury is very serious. Peter would like to ask you... do you need to treat him with all your strength?" A hoarse voice quickly replied.
"What are you doing to bring him back?! What are you doing to bring him back!? Are you going to let him refute my face and embarrass me?! Tell Peter, give me..."
When Jie Hain heard Liu Zhen's name, he immediately became furious.
However, he calmed down quickly.
"Forget it, tell Peter, just treat him casually. If he can recover on his own, let him continue to be the captain of the Guards Squad... If he can't recover... hum..."
"Oh, by the way, whether he can recover or not, you have to tell him that everything he has now is thanks to that Necromancer... We have done our best to help him..."
"I...I understand..."
The voice in the darkness seemed to hesitate, but finally said nothing.
Jehein turned around and continued to look at the lights outside the terrace, the expression on his face as cold as a piece of ice.
