But unfortunately, no matter how they shook it, the praying mantis on their bodies could not be thrown out, and their claws were firmly inserted into the tank worm's body along the gap in the bone armor.

However, although they can't shake off the mantis insects on their bodies, these same mantis insects can't do them much harm.

The two sides were at a stalemate, but soon the tank bugs found a way to do so, and they began to ram into the surrounding walls.

Whenever the tank bug hits the wall, the mantis bug on its body is crushed into a pulp.

Seeing this, the other tank insects imitated one after another, and the mantis insects controlled by Li Mingze began to suffer heavy casualties.

At this time, several balls of light flashing blue suddenly shot out from the back of the opponent's queue from the encirclement of the sea of praying mantises.

Where this blue ball of light passed, all the praying mantis insects turned into flying ashes!

But Li Mingze did not panic, but showed a faint smile.

After a while, the ground suddenly shook, and the part where the tank bugs and plasma bugs were standing suddenly sank downward, and these tank bugs and plasma bugs, as well as some of the mantis bugs controlled by Li Mingze, fell into the pit one after another.

If this pit is just a deep pit, there is a tumbling lava underneath it!

These tank worms, plasma bugs, and praying mantis worms roared and fell directly into the magma, and were swallowed up by the magma in the blink of an eye.

The commander of the Zerg lost all the mid-level Zerg, and Li Mingze also lost nearly 10,000 new mantises.

However, Li Mingze's goal had been achieved, and the Zerg corpses on the battlefield were enough for him to build another swarm of sixty or seventy thousand insects, so he didn't care about the hundred channel worms and tens of thousands of mantis insects that he lost.

Ten splinters who had rushed from the original base were transformed into ten incubation centers on the spot.

The corpses of the Zerg on the battlefield were all thrown into the incubation center, and it didn't take long for new mantis insects to emerge from the hatching sac and come to Li Mingze's side to stand still.

In just two days, Li Mingze increased the number of insects to 150,000, and as usual, he only created mantis insects and 150 channel worms.

These simple units were enough for him to face the battle that followed.

With the Imperial Fleet supporting in orbit and providing intelligence and supplies to Li Mingze, Li Mingze's swarm grew larger and larger, and in just four days, his swarm expanded to half a planet.

The rest of the Zerg seemed to sense something, and all of them hid deep underground and never showed their faces.

In a cavern deep underground, the planet's last remaining swarm commander gathered.

Because the planet's supreme commanders have been wiped out by the Imperial fleet in orbit, these commanders are only at the same level, and none of them have the ability to dominate the others.

As a result, the originally efficient command system instantly became a waste, and the combat efficiency of the entire swarm began to become low.

"We can't go on like this, we must select a person with supreme command to lead us, or we will be defeated by that traitor and the enemy if we continue to fight on our own!" A Zerg commander suggested to the commanders of the surrounding platters.

But this question seems to be a dead proposition, everyone wants to be a commander themselves and does not want to be cannon fodder controlled by others.

However, a higher-level commander who wants to dominate other commanders needs to evolve himself to a higher level, and a higher-level being that wants to be strengthened to a higher level requires a lot of energy and nutrients.

The only way to get so much energy is by devouring creatures, and the only creatures that can get it quickly are the Zerg under their hands.

As long as someone devours all the Zerg soldiers under his command, he will definitely be able to be promoted to a more advanced Zerg.

But here's the problem, if everyone wants to become the Supreme Commander and devour the swarm they control, they will break down without a fight!

Without troops, what to do to fight with traitors and enemies in the tracks.

"Hasn't the Mother Emperor's fleet reached us yet?" A Zerg commander swung his bone blade twice.

"My realm has just recovered a communication ship sent by the Mother Emperor."

"Now the situation outside is very bad, this fleet of unknown civilization has raided more than 30 of our colonial stars, the other side not only has strong combat effectiveness, but the ground forces are using the same tactics as us."

"The number of troops on the other side is no less than our swarm, and with the help of powerful war machines, our Zerg front is losing ground one after another!"

"Now we have lost more than fifty colonial stars, and our soldiers on these fifty or so colonial stars have been almost wiped out!"

"The Mother Emperor is mobilizing the fleet and troops in the rear, let us hold our positions and wait for reinforcements!" One of the Zerg commanders said with a sigh.

It's a pity that the Mother Emperor doesn't know that the Supreme Commander of this planet and his subordinates have been wiped out in orbit, and now the Zerg dragons on this planet are leaderless, and their spiritual communication is still blocked by the Empire!

"In that case, then before we return to the arms of the Mother Emperor, we will take turns to command, each of them for three days, starting with the commander with the largest number of subordinates!" One of the Zerg commanders moved the pincers of his mouth and suggested to the rest of the commanders.

At this moment, the first democratic command system in the history of the swarm was born!

However, at this historic moment, thousands of channel worms suddenly drilled through the stone walls around the cave, and swallowed all the soil above the cave into their stomachs, turning the cave into a huge open-air basin.

Dozens of Zerg commanders looked at the tunnel worms that were constantly swirling around them with surprised faces.

They tried to call out to nearby men, but they didn't respond.

These Zerg commanders didn't know that Li Mingze had sacrificed tens of thousands of channel worms to dig all the underground space around this cave to a depth where there was magma.

After the tunnel worms dug up below the dormant swarms underground, the swarms fell into the underground magma along with the channel worms!

Now the closest units that this group of Zerg commanders can mobilize are also dozens of kilometers away, and when they come, all that will be left is the bones of these commanders, or they will not have any bones.

At this time, a black figure suddenly descended from the sky to the center of the swarm.

The Zerg commanders fixed their eyes on it, and this black shadow was the renegade Zerg commander, that is, Li Mingze!
