When Fangzheng returned to the Tendo Temple to sort out his internal affairs, the battle between the Country of Fire and the Zergs never stopped.
Logically speaking, the Zergs only needed a simple F2A to get rid of the Country of Fire, but Fangzheng didn't choose to do so.
Sun Tzu once said, "War is the path of deception. If you can, then show that you can't. If you use it, then show that you can't. If you're near, then show that you're far away. If you're far away, then show that you're near. "
Fangzheng's goal wasn't as simple as teaching the Country of Fire a lesson. On the contrary, his goal was to wipe out the majority of the Country of Fire's forces in one fell swoop. He wanted to pull out all the teeth of this tiger ….. Even if he couldn't, at least he wanted to make it hard for it to eat.
Did he really think it was that easy to find trouble with the Tendo Temple?
Therefore, Fangzheng ordered the Zergs to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Country of Fire. He also hid all the high-level units and only used the Hydralisks, Xenomorphs and Zerglings to harass the Country of Fire.
As a human, Fangzheng obviously knew that humans were creatures with a lot of inertia. They had seen these three types of soldiers many times, so they would subconsciously think that there were only these three types of soldiers in the Zerg swarm. Then, when the final battle came and Fangzheng released the other types of soldiers, the Country of Fire would definitely be dumbfounded.
Apart from that, the most important thing was ….. benefits.
All wars had a purpose. Just like how Fang Zheng wanted to weaken the Fire Country's strength, if he wanted the Fire Country to send a large portion of their military to this undeveloped land, there must be something that could attract them. Otherwise, no one would be a fool. Sending a large portion of the country's military to open up a piece of desolate land was definitely not something that a fool would do.
Fortunately, there was no need for Fangzheng to act. The Country of Fire already had a reason to attack and occupy this land.
That was the Creep Carpet.
The Creep Carpet of the Zergs could nourish the land and revive it. Nunnally had once used a piece of Creep to make fertilizer, but Fangzheng didn't let Nunnally use it because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to explain the source of the material.
And it turns out that Nunnally isn't the only talented alchemist in the world. Soon, alchemists in the country of fire also discovered this characteristic of the creep, which immediately attracted the attention of the country of fire.
As mentioned before, although the Fire Nation was vast and sparsely populated, the barren soil was their weakness. That was why after Na Nali created the fertilizer, the Fire Nation had been trying to "invite" her over. But because Fangzheng had no intention of letting go, the Nation of Fire did not succeed, and they even lost a Rear Admiral ….
But now, with the creep, the Country of Fire had more confidence.
If you don't give it to me, I'll make it myself!!
Thus, the creep quickly rose to the level of the country's strategic reserve, and the Country of Fire also sent a large number of soldiers in an attempt to completely wipe out the swarm wandering on the creep. After all, if they wanted to "mine" the creep, they would have to face the endless harassment and guerrilla warfare of the swarm.
Although ordinary swarm units were no match for legendary powerhouses and spellcasters, they had a large number of them. From time to time, the Hydralisks would poke their tails out from the ground and tease them, or the Xenomorphs would sneak into the dark and launch a night attack. It was enough to annoy the people of the Country of Fire to death.
Besides, legendary powerhouses and mages weren't cabbages. You couldn't expect them to follow the transport team back and forth every day without doing anything.
Therefore, the Country of Fire decided that these ugly insects must have a nest. As long as they found their nest and gathered their superior forces to take it down in one fell swoop, they would never have to worry about future troubles!
Of course, the soldiers of the Country of Fire weren't useless. They followed the route of the swarm and quickly found a large nest. Obviously, this was the nest of these damned monsters. As long as they eliminated all these monsters, this land would belong to the Country of Fire forever!
Of course, this was all part of Fangzheng's plan.
The hive base was a branch base that Fangzheng had specially built. In order to prevent the Country of Fire from discovering the ruins of the Goddess, he deliberately built this hive base on top of … … the ruins.
Yes, that's right.
On top of the ruins of the Goddess.
What a joke. How could they not make use of such a good thing? Think about it carefully. If the Country of Fire destroyed the hive base in broad daylight and blew up the ruins of the Goddess, how would they explain it? When that happened, the swarm could appear as the guardians of the Goddess. As for the Country of Fire ….. hehe ….
As for whether the ruins of the Goddess could withstand the attack of the Country of Fire, Fangzheng estimated that it shouldn't be a problem. After all, even he couldn't open it by force. He could only obediently complete missions to level up. If the Country of Fire had the ability to open the door for him … … it would actually save him energy!
But now … …
"It's time for a round of Starcraft."
Looking at the image on his personal terminal, Fangzheng smiled coldly. He moved his fingers and closed his eyes.
The next moment, he entered the entire network of the swarm.
At the same time, the Country of Fire, who had received accurate information, also sent an army towards the direction of the hive.
Two cavalrymen rode back and forth on their horses, patrolling the troops beside them while chatting idly.
"I didn't expect the parliament to put in so much effort this time. They mobilized the troops of three military regions to jointly eliminate these monsters. Aren't they just some monsters? Is there a need to go so far? Wouldn't it be better to just find a few legendary beings or great mages and directly blow up their hive? "
"Hey, what do you know!?"
Hearing the sigh of his comrade, the other White Feather cavalryman snorted.
"If even you understand, how can the parliament not understand? You don't understand. The main reason we're here this time is for … … "
The White Feather cavalryman curled his lips at the back.
"To boost the morale of that lord."
"… … Why?"
"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
The White Feather cavalryman stared at his stupid comrade with a look of disbelief.
"I think you also know that Sir Kara is dead. The news is spreading all over the country. That dragon slayer is our patron saint. Now that he's dead, someone has to take over his position! That lord is the successor of His Excellency the dragon slayer! The parliament sent him here this time to let that lord be in the limelight and divert the attention of the people. Otherwise, why do you think the parliament is keeping quiet about Sir Kara? They're not even talking about taking revenge for him … … "
"But I heard that Sir Kara died in a fair duel."
"Nonsense! That's all a rumor. Sir Kara is so powerful, how could he be killed in a fair duel? It must be those swindlers from the Country of Saints who used some despicable means to harm Sir Kara! The parliament didn't have any evidence, so they didn't say anything! But we'll take revenge sooner or later!! "
As he spoke, the White Feather cavalryman waved his weapon.
"Hmph, those despicable people want to harm us. We won't surrender so easily! Only we, the Country of Flames, are the guardians of peace and freedom! Those people who worship God all day long only know how to play tricks to scare people! "
At this point, the White Feather Cavalryman suddenly stopped. He pulled the reins and slowly looked around.
"Did you hear … … something?"
"Something?"
Seeing the White Feather cavalryman's reaction, the other cavalryman also looked around.
"I didn't hear anything … …"
"Swoosh!!"
Suddenly, a series of sharp spikes shot out from the ground. One of the spikes pierced through the horse and went up along the cavalryman's lower body, directly emerging from his head. Just like that, the cavalryman and his horse were skewered together!
"Huh??"
The other Cavalryman stared blankly as his comrade's head exploded and was lifted high into the air. Then, he returned to his senses quickly.
"Enemy … …!!"
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the ground around him suddenly split open. The Zerglings jumped out and bit his head, swallowing his scream along with his head into its stomach.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, the advancing army also sensed that something was wrong. They hurriedly picked up their weapons to see where the enemy came from. But soon, countless spikes emerged from the ground and pierced into the army like sharp blades. Along with roars and wails, many people fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. Some were pierced by the spikes and hung in the air.
