Facing the Zerg army's counterattack this time, they will never leave it alone.

On the expeditionary force's side, led by Delk, and after the generals from all forces expressed their opinions one after another, they had clearly communicated this intention to the orc army in order to appease them.

But if you want them to take action immediately, that's unrealistic.

Not only because they had just been defeated, but the strength of their respective troops was not in good condition, and there were still a lot of things waiting for them to deal with.

The main reason is that there is not only one planet in the border area, and they don't know from which point the zerg will attack!

Don't forget, they took this universe from the Zerg.

In other words, the Zerg knows the distribution of planets in this universe very well.

Sufficient intelligence can make the opponent's entire offensive strategy easier to arrange. This is obviously not good news for the expeditionary force on the defensive side.

Based on this premise, before the Zerg side takes action, if they arbitrarily deploy troops to reinforce a certain planet, then if the Zerg side's army does not attack that planet, then their work will be in vain.

?

In fact, it's okay to say that all this work is in vain, because they are afraid that the other side will turn around and immediately attack another planet that they have not focused on defending. By then, there will be no time to mobilize the troops. Once the gap opens, the entire planet will be destroyed.

The position may really be completely destroyed by the insects.

Although the orc army is not good at strategy, they undoubtedly understand this basic idea. After receiving assurances from Generals such as Delk, they began to concentrate on preparing to deal with the insects that might sweep towards their planet stronghold.

tide.

This is not the first time that the orc army has been surrounded and suppressed by heavy Zerg troops, but compared with the previous time, the size of the Zerg force this time is undoubtedly larger.

This can be seen very clearly from the previous battle when the insect wave destroyed their border defense line.

This is also the main reason why the orc army is so nervous this time.

In comparison, other forces are much calmer in terms of their emotions in this area.

The fundamental reason lies in their defensive advantages.

The border defense line was not well established, and after the border defense line fell, it was impossible to talk about a second line of defense.

However, although there is no second line of defense, there is a certain degree of defense on the planets they occupy.

Especially the various technology-side armies, their capabilities in home defense are quite strong.

On the contrary, among the expeditionary force, the one with the weakest ability when it comes to setting up home defenses is the orc army.

It goes without saying that there is no technological development in itself, so there is no efficient defense deployment.

But the fundamental reason is that the orcs are a race that focuses on offense and aggression.

Every time the orc army launches a war, its core tactics are very clear, which is to attack, attack, and then attack again! For the orc army, offense is the best defense!

Under this premise, over the years, the orc army has never fought a serious defensive battle.

The combination of these factors made the orc army, which had always been brave and fearless in the previous war, gradually become a little anxious.

Although their orc federation does not mind losing some of their population appropriately to slow down their own development pressure, once a situation arises that poses a sufficient threat to them and causes a large-scale loss of the young and middle-aged combat power of their orc army,

Even the orc army, which is used to being reckless to the end, will actually retreat appropriately.

This wave is undoubtedly the case.

Within the orc army, the commanders and generals of various tribes have already felt threatened.

Their wild instincts were sounding the alarm there.

We have even prepared for the worst in our hearts.

If it really comes to that point, they will directly abandon the planet in the border area and retreat, with no intention of fighting the Zerg army to the end.

Of course, if you can hold on until you get to that point, you must still hold on.

It goes without saying how precious the resources of a planet are, but for the Orc Federation, which has low productivity, its value is naturally even greater. The Orcs will never eat it unless it is a last resort.

The meat in your mouth must be spit out again!

During this period, due to the expeditionary force's simple retreat in the previous border battle, the Zerg army, under the command of Balsa, almost easily invaded this universe.

The losses and consumption itself are not large, so there is no need to spend too much time resting and recuperating.

Balsa, who maintained his momentum of pursuing victory and seized the opportunity, did not even have the slightest thought of letting go of the expeditionary force.

However, just as the generals of the expeditionary force had guessed, Balsa, who was extremely familiar with the distribution of planets in this universe, had no intention of commanding the army to directly attack the planet closest to him.

Instead, he turned his head, locked another attack point on this defense line built by relying on the connection between planets, and launched an offensive.

"It's Planet No. 6 in the border area!"

After the intelligence feedback came back, during the remote meeting, the generals quickly locked in on the attack point selected by the Zerg side.

Leaving aside the distance factor, there are two planets located on this border, which are relatively remote.

This means that once a war breaks out, it will take more time for surrounding planets to support it.

When confirming this line of defense, the generals had already highlighted these two planets.

Although there is no way to say that the commander on the opposite side will attack one of these two planets 100% of the time, the probability is not small when you think about it.

For this reason, the expeditionary force also dispatched a small force to ambush near the two planets for emergency purposes. After that, even if the ambush was lonely, it would be useless for them.

The impact won't be too big.

Of these two planets, one is occupied by the orc army of the Orc Federation, and the other is occupied by the army of the Otto Empire.

Among them, the one occupied by the orc army happened to be Planet No. 6.

At this point, the generals of the orc army could only consider themselves unlucky.

After sending out a call for help, energy quickly focused on responding to the insect tide.

During this period, the request for help signal from Planet 6 was confirmed. On the two planets relatively closest to Planet 6, troops had already been assembled and were waiting to set off.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the highest-level alarm was heard outside the defense circles of the two planets at the same time.
