Next morning.
Blackthorn arachnid base.
An incomparably tragic scene. Countless pieces of flesh and blood were mangled within this tiny valley, before rapidly dissolving away. An incomparably thick stench of blood permeated the air, so thick that it was suffocating.
One could distinctly observe, in order to construct more Sunken Colonies, the Mother nest had severed off the majority of the arachnid base's nourishment. This resulted in the construction of a terrifying 50 Sunken Colonies around the Mother nest. Yet at the same time, the Blackthorn tribe had lost at least 5 beast lairs and over 10 organ structures, due to excessive nourishment, withering and withered away.
What was even more heart-wrenching was, the incubation pool was directly exposed to the Thick-liquid arachnid's firepower. Without a doubt, the enemy's Overmind had discovered this fatal weakness, and ordered the remnants of that day's assault to recklessly charge towards the incubation pool! At this moment, the Blackthorn arachnid reinforcements were unable to catch up. Hence, when the Thick-liquid arachnid base was left with 3 zerglings and 5 hydralisks, following their final joint assault, the non-regenerating incubation pool finally reached its critical point. Crash! Blood splattered out into the skies, before completely vanishing into thin air.
The Thick-liquid arachnid base's strategic objective, had finally been achieved! Although the remnants of the arachnid base survived for less than 2 minutes, before being torn apart by the densely packed Sunken Colonies. But this signified that the Blackthorn arachnid base could no longer produce zerglings, and could no longer construct more Sunken Colonies! When the Thick-liquid arachnid base returns tomorrow, it would undoubtedly be the end of this war!
"The Thick-liquid arachnid base no longer has the chance to return." Wiping away his sweat and blood, Sheyan spoke with a resolute and decisive tone. "Mother nest, act according to the original plan. Every time you accumulate a squad (12) of hydralisks, then command them to attack the Thick-liquid arachnid base."
The Mother of the Blackthorns calmly transmitted a telepathic message.
"You're sending them to their deaths."
Sheyan calmly replied.
"That's right, I'm sending them to their deaths. According to the original plan, after you dispatch 4 batches of hydralisks, we'll set off! "
Although there were only two lairs left, due to the abundant amount of 'Superconducting Crystalline Ores', within an hour, the Mother of the Blackthorns dispatched 4 batches of hydralisk squads according to Sheyan's request. At this moment, Sheyan stood up and calmly spoke to Mogensha.
"It's time for us to make our entrance. Success or failure … is now!! "
Mogensha took a deep breath.
"Although I think your plan is very feasible, I still think it's crazy. If there's any mistake in your deduction, we'll all die without a burial ground!"
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"I'm eighty percent sure."
After saying that, he shook his head as if he still wanted to continue.
"At least."
After saying that, Sheyan shouted loudly.
"Mother of the Blackthorns! Bring your child here! "
Very quickly, a jellyfish-like brownish-black Overlord floated in. This thing was mentioned before, it could fly in the air without any offensive capabilities. It could provide nutrients to other arachnids, and could even detect invisible units. This brownish-black Overlord was a rare genetic mutation, it was called Shenxu. Not only was its body enlarged, it also possessed two abilities compared to other Overlords.
Firstly, it could fly rapidly.
Secondly, it could act like a human transport aircraft, using its tendrils to carry passengers, and carry them swiftly!
Shenxu's strength was immense, it could probably carry 2 human siege tanks. However, its carrying capacity was limited, it could at most carry 8 zerglings. If it carried humans, then it could only carry 6.
Of these 6, Sheyan and Mogensha naturally belonged to the list. Although Lieutenant Colonel Dundee strongly requested to participate, Sheyan still considered the dangers of this battle. Using the excuse that the base needed someone to oversee the situation, he didn't request for Dundee to follow. Instead, he selected 2 members from the remaining soldiers. One was an expert in grenades and explosives, Adam Savich, and the other was a heavy firepower specialist called Baiise.
The last two slots were occupied by two elite zerglings! These two elite zerglings had survived the previous intense battle, and slowly evolved to their current state. Their attack speed was at least twice that of ordinary zerglings, and they even possessed 300 HP! Exceptionally ferocious!
Following Shenxu's ascension into the air, the Queen zerg Jenny that had previously caused Sheyan and the rest to be battered and exhausted silently followed behind. Up till now, within a few hundred kilometres, there wasn't a single arachnid tribe Mother nest that had successfully evolved into a 'II' base. Therefore, this flying squad only needed to avoid those long range attacking hydralisks on the ground, then they wouldn't face any aerial threats.
Shenxu's flight speed in the air was exceedingly fast. Sheyan and the rest hid within the gigantic Overlord's canopy, but they could still feel the chilling wind blowing in like blades. Because the arachnid's ability to sense enemies was based on smell and temperature, vision wasn't important. Therefore, they chose to carry out this ambush during the day. Furthermore, all the arachnids were smeared with the body fluids of the previously slain Thick-liquid tribe.
Although such actions weren't necessarily useful, but according to Sheyan's plan, even if they could advance by a metre, it would be worth it. Because during crucial moments, a metre or even half a metre of distance, was often the dividing line between life and death!
After 20 minutes of flight, the Thick-liquid tribe's main base was right ahead. Sheyan directed Shenxu through the rear of the Queen zerg Jenny, allowing it to hide behind a mountain. Then, he started to carefully observe the situation. Because the Thick-liquid tribe had never encountered an aerial ambush before, they didn't scatter their precious Overlords around the base as a warning. Instead, they allowed them to produce food faster.
Of course, on the main roads of the Thick-liquid tribe, were densely packed with scattered zerglings. It was absolutely impossible for anyone to infiltrate the base stealthily. Sheyan had grasped onto this weak point of the Thick-liquid tribe, where they didn't pay enough attention to aerial ambushes. Hence, he conceived of this small scale elite assault plan!
Mogensha gazed downwards, instantly sucking in a breath of cold air. His gaze towards Sheyan was brimming with astonishment. As for the two Pebbles special forces members, their gazes could only be described as worship! Because the situation below was exactly as Sheyan had described a few hours ago. Hydralisks were scarce, zerglings were everywhere. More importantly ….. there was only a Sunken Colony by the side of the Mother nest!
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Don't look at me like that, this may seem rather outrageous. But the current situation can be easily deduced."
Mogensha shook his head.
"I don't believe you, you must have some long distance scouting ability!"
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"If you don't believe me, then I'll ask you a few questions."
Mogensha resolutely replied.
"Ask away."
Sheyan continued.
"Can we calculate the approximate number of invading troops of the Thick-liquid tribe daily?"
Mogensha nodded.
"That is the basic quality of a soldier."
Sheyan continued.
"The Thick-liquid tribe will send all of their troops into the battlefield based on the number of troops they produce every day. This has been confirmed over the past three days. It can be deduced that the number of troops attacking the Thick-liquid tribe is basically the number of troops they produce every day. This is very simple."
Mogensha continued nodding.
"That's right."
Sheyan continued.
"There are only two factors that restrict the production of arachnid troops. Firstly, the quantity of energy crystals. Secondly, the quantity of larvae produced. According to the information I obtained from the Mother of the Blackthorns, the Thick-liquid tribe occupies a medium scale crystal mine. Before the Mother nest is upgraded to a 'II' class, the daily harvesting of crystal ores should be in a saturated state. Hence, under the condition of a saturated supply of energy crystals, we only need to use a simple mathematical equation to calculate how many larvae the Thick-liquid tribe produces daily. Combining that with the rate of larvae production in the Blackthorn's lair, we can calculate the approximate number of beast lairs in the Thick-liquid tribe! "
Mogensha instantly understood, but Sheyan played it down and continued.
"We already know that the 'I' class Mother queen supplies various combat organs to the base, and the nourishment of the reproductive organs is limited. If not, the Blackthorn tribe could have covered the ground with a terrifying number of Sunken Colonies to defend against enemy attacks. Thus, we can deduce that since the Thick-liquid tribe possesses a considerable number of beast lairs to produce larvae, naturally the number of Sunken Colonies would be few and far between. "
"As for the reason why the Thick-liquid tribe is frantically producing zerglings, that's even simpler ….." Sheyan shrugged his shoulders. "It's because I ordered it to do so, so it did."
Mogensha remained expressionless, but the two special forces soldiers by his side exposed a look of disbelief. Not far away, the arachnid Queen Jenny transmitted an incomparably intense telepathic message.
"No one can disturb or hypnotize an Overmind! Even the weakest Overmind, its mental prowess isn't something a human like you can imagine! "
