Chapter 49: Spore Heights

"Yes, the evidence is clear." Mo Gansha suddenly said: "The Black Thorn Clan's change from offense to defense is the biggest and best evidence!" Now it seems that in order to balance the disadvantage in the air, the combination of the main forces of the Red Striped Tribe is the Explosive Mosquito, the Stinging Snake, and the Velocitor! For the Zerg, who are all Level II evolution bases, there is really no good way to do this kind of combination except for fighting head-on. ”

"But! If the Blackthorn tribe can get a certain number of human tanks to set up in their positions - then a large number of tongue thorn batteries + more than ten tanks converted to siege mode + medium stinging snakes are enough to defend. You must know that the range of the human mechanical tank in siege mode is three times that of the stinging snake, and the damage from the bombardment is a range attack, and it also has an extremely terrifying attack power. It happens to be the nemesis of this combination of troops of the Red Stripe Clan, and it can be said that it will form a very strong suppression of the surname, and how many people will die! ”

"To restrain such a tactic, the way to win for the Redstripe tribe that has only evolved to a Tier II brood is to either mass-produce Wyverns and forcibly kill all siege tanks, or simply airdrop them next to the tanks, but the embarrassing thing is that it is now at a comprehensive disadvantage in terms of air supremacy...... To break this situation, the Red Stripe tribe must produce a large number of air troops to seize air supremacy, which is undoubtedly a difficult and long process, and will make the two sides fall into an embarrassing situation of attrition. But for the Black Thorn Tribe, which has a high-energy bonanza vein that can be mined for ten years, a war of attrition is undoubtedly the situation it wants to see the most! ”

"Damn it!" Reef also understood, and said in a deep voice: "Since the assistance they promised Lieutenant Colonel Dundee is no longer significant, then for the black thorny worm magic juice, the giant sporozoide jet air defense tower must be preserved." For the public, this thing is a strategically important weapon arranged by the leader of the Zerg, the Empress of Blades, and protecting their integrity will help ease the relationship with the higher-ups, and in private, holding this thing in his hands will control the safety of the transportation lines of the Terrans on this planet! When negotiating with humans, you can use it as a bargaining chip to bargain and get around. ”

Fang Senyan nodded and said:

"That's pretty much it. In addition, we also have to be mentally prepared, that is, near the giant sporozoide jet air defense tower, it is likely that there are direct guards sent by the Zerg leader Blade Empress! It's going to be a tough battle to take them down, so we'll have to go back for now. First, it is necessary to integrate the prestige, which should be able to exchange the power of the brood for the reef to enhance everyone's survivability as much as possible. The second is to exchange some hosts and troops, and by the way, Lieutenant Colonel Dundee will send us all his direct troops! If our progress is going well, then we don't want them to take action, and if the situation is bad and dangerous, then we have to make them cannon fodder. ”

After thinking about it, Jiao Shi finally felt that Fang Senyan's arrangement was indeed watertight and impeccable, and nodded silently in recognition of his arrangement.

After returning to the Blackthorn Nest, as Fang Senyan had deduced, he found a full sixteen human siege tanks that had been set up on the dangerous high ground near the main base of the Blackthorn Clan. The giant fire-breathing insects also began to appear on the battlefield, wriggling and patrolling. And it can be seen from the original logo on this tank. They turned out to belong to the "Deadly Helmet" base that Fang Senyan had dealt with before! The first one to cooperate with the Black Thorn Tribe was actually this Terran base, which even Fang Senyan didn't expect.

However, this incident seems to be unexpected, but in fact, it is also reasonable: once the human forces of the home planet successfully cooperate with the Blackthorn tribe, they will inevitably establish an outpost in the vicinity, and there is no doubt that the "Deadly Helmet" base will be the most affected, so of course he must strike first! Strangled the possibility of landing on the home planet in the cradle!

Fang Senyan and they controlled the host to get closer, and they could see that among the sixteen siege tanks, they were also being by humans, but most of them had been implanted with parasites in their bodies, and life and death were controlled by the hands of the black thorny brain worm magic juice. However, according to Lieutenant Colonel Dundee, the parasite also seems to be able to treat diseases in the body, so it should be a blessing for these soldiers. And next to each siege tank, a large number of stinging snakes and at least two Zerg anti-aircraft spore towers are densely arranged! Obviously, it is a tactic to prevent the opponent's air forces from rushing up and forcibly firing tanks.

After the three of them got together and discussed, they exchanged the power of the brood for the reef: it increased all your castes by 1 point, and then Mogansha exchanged it for the Velocitor genetic improvement Adrenaline: it permanently increased your base movement speed by 33%, which is for the basic naked agility, and its actual effect is about 8 points of agility speed increase. And the stinging snake body cavity muscle contraction hormone is to increase the ranged attack range by 15%, and this genus is not necessary to be exchanged for Mogansha, so this is omitted.

In the end, the three of them got together, saved 12,000 universal points, used the prestige they earned to buy the Zerg troops, spent them cleanly, and then went to Lieutenant Colonel Dundee, and successfully obtained the command of all the soldiers except him, so the strength of the final departure was as follows:

"Human Elite Machine Gunners: 7. Seven stinging snakes, thirty swift beasts. ”

"There are 12 explosive mosquitoes, 6 hosts, and 4 spore dragons."

With such a force, plus Fang Senyan and the three of them, it can be said that their combat effectiveness is quite strong. It is estimated that ordinary Zerg troops with less than 100 heads can easily be eaten directly and head-on. A force of 200 heads can also be evenly matched.

After staying at the Black Thorn Base for a while, Fang Senyan expected that the battle ahead had reached a fever pitch, so he ordered to set off, the six fully loaded hosts were surrounded by four spore wyverns in the middle, and twelve explosive mosquitoes escorted in the outermost part to avoid sudden situations as much as possible.

After flying for nearly half an hour, you can already see that the fierce battle situation ahead is beyond imagination, from a bird's-eye view from the sky, you can see a terrifying number of stinging snakes and velociders gushing out from the main base of the Red Stripe Tribe, like a huge black pressure torrent, not far in front of it was divided into four strands, three strands rushed to their three sub-bases to rescue, and the largest number of strands rushed straight to the main base of the Black Thorn Tribe!!

According to Mo Gansha's visual measurements, the ratio of military strength between the two sides at this time has even reached a terrifying suppression of 3:1, and it seems that the Red Stripe tribe still has a greater chance of winning.

Probably because air supremacy was completely suppressed, the Red Stripe tribe should not have known about the existence of siege tanks. Therefore, Fang Senyan could expect that this time, the action that was pinned on great hopes by the red encephalic worm would most likely end in failure! Under the bombardment of up to sixteen tanks mounted on the vital heights one after another, it was feared that the troops of the Red Stripe tribe would have to lose more than half of their casualties before they could get close.

Fang Senyan carefully controlled his scheming troops, bypassing the main base of the Red Stripe Clan from a distance, and began to try to get closer to its rear. According to the annotations on the electronic map, the more than a dozen giant sporozoide jet air defense towers were placed on the top of a rocky hill with a steep slope, which was shaped like a giant tree stump that had been magnified many times, with a flat top and steep edges, and the Terrans named it Spore Heights.

The main base of the Red Stripe Tribe is not too far from the Spore Heights, and they can find that although the Black Thorn Tribe occupies air supremacy, none of the Spore Wyverns dare to attack from the sky above the Spore Heights in the rear, either they are afraid of the majesty of the Blade Empress, the lord of the Zerg, or the six relatives of the Zerg directly under the Empress on the Spore Heights do not recognize it, as long as the flying objects dare to violate the airspace rights, then they will shoot them down!

In the distance, a mixed self-detonating mosquito/stinging snake force of the Redstreak Clan and the Wyvern force of the Blackthorn Tribe's collided again, and the troops on both sides were like two giant dark clouds in a fierce conflict, with at least dozens of units killed every second, which could be said to be an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Senyan gave an order, and the small force led by him approached obliquely from the rear, especially the host full of personnel, all of them flew close to the ground without exception, and the reason for this was naturally to avoid being suddenly shot down and having a tragic air crash. Finally, they broke into the vicinity of the spore heights without any danger.

After approaching the spore plateau, everyone saw the mountain wall in front of them from the gap between the host's roots, and they were taken aback, only to see that on the rock wall of the spore plateau, there were already huge organic tentacles like tree roots in many places, and the green tendons on the surface burst out, tightly clamping the rock wall, and it looked as if a huge tentacle monster had grown in the entire spore plateau.

The Spore Plateau is actually not too high, about five or six hundred meters, just because it rises from the ground, it looks like the wall is thousands of feet steep. Especially when you look up after flying below, you really have the illusion that your neck is going to be sour. It sounds outrageous, but it's just a matter of trying to think about what it feels like to look up from the bottom of a 100-metre-tall building – and by the way, multiply the height of the tall building by five. This is probably the reason why the rest of the Insect Tribal Forbidden Land is here, so not even half of the Red Striped Tribe's Velocial Beast can be seen nearby.
