Duels should be played with a smile.

The loss of the tanks relieved a lot of pressure on K's ground forces—however, under the firepower suppression of the planetary fortress and other Leyou forces, as well as the coordination of the SCVs that were constantly being repaired, they did not last long before being completely wiped out.

The ground troops were all killed, but K laughed instead.

"If this is all the defensive tactics you have, then I truly believe that your offensive capabilities are limited to this level."

While the ground troops were being killed, construction had already begun at the base behind K. As soon as the population became available, larvae immediately turned into eggs and began to mutate into flying serpents, dragons, or corruptors.

By sacrificing all ground troops and transforming into a pure air force, K gradually erodes Leyou's forces with the mobility of the air force and the dragging ability of the Viper. He supplements his ground firepower with the free-to-use broodworms from the Brood Lord. This is K's entire tactic.

"Ha, it turns out you only relied on those crooked and unethical methods..."

Is that really the case?

Leyou interrupted K's smug mockery, and under his command, several inconspicuous human air units flew out from the dark area of ​​K's vision.

Because they had to use the Corruptors as cover to draw fire and attention, the Viper and the other air units of K did not go too far away, only moving slightly away when they flew out to tow tanks.

In the darkness, Leyou's "Raven" fired several beams of light, locking onto the Flying Serpent that was dragging several tanks back.

"Feel the power of the Raven Bomb... Even if I don't use any special tactics, everything about you is still within my calculations."

Several conspicuous bombs were dropped by the raven, which, locked onto by the beam of light, flew toward the fleeing flying snake.

The flying snake had no other way to escape.

The other Zerg air forces were also unable to disperse.

The next second—

"boom--"

Brilliant fireworks ignited the starry sky, which was strewn with blood and mangled limbs.

Which eighteen images of Nuclear Launch Detected! 4?

If the Zerg have forged all their forces into the sharpest spears, then the Terrans have transformed all their forces and buildings into the most solid shields.

Using the sharpest spear to pierce the strongest shield, the outcome is generally uncertain.

However, this is not the usual situation.

K assembled all its troops, but because it hadn't anticipated that Leyou's defense would be so "thorough," the troop composition wasn't very reasonable. Although there was some coordination between them, they ultimately couldn't unleash their full power.

Leyou's approach is very simple and straightforward: everything is geared towards defense.

Because he doesn't have many secondary mines, and the human race can use mining snails to help with mining, Leyou doesn't have too many peasants. More people can be used to produce combat troops, and with the help of buildings for defense, it's not exactly impregnable, but it's at least a super-large tortoise shell.

With a large number of farmers occupying a significant portion of the population, K's forces were clearly insufficient in number.

Even if K has the initiative in the attack, Leyou's insanely thick defense is enough to offset the advantage brought by this initiative.

K's first wave of attack failed. Although it achieved the goal of sending away less useful units to free up population and air force, it basically failed to achieve the secondary goal of taking the opportunity to deplete Leyou's forces.

At most, they managed to steal a few tanks and demolish some buildings on the ground, but these gains were clearly not worth it compared to the losses they suffered from the Raven bombing.

StarCraft has two types of resources: crystals, which are used for everything, and gas, which are needed for advanced units and technologies.

Gas production is much scarcer than crystal production. A mining area can have more than ten farmers mining at the same time, but at most only six farmers can mine gas. The difference in reserves and extraction efficiency between the two is huge.

Air forces generally require a large amount of gas. While Leyou's tanks also require gas to produce, the buildings used as defensive structures only require crystals. At first glance, the number of units lost by both sides seems similar, but if you compare them in terms of resources, K's gas losses are significantly greater.

"No problem... I have a full seven mining areas, and I can take one more into my possession. Even if we simply trade battle losses, I can still win!"

K glanced at his current amount of crystals and gas, feeling much more confident. He had over 10,000 crystals and gas, and several mining areas were still continuously collecting resources. He could say he was fully prepared!

K quickly replenished the population lost with air units and began looking for another opportunity to attack.

Although there are many resources, they cannot be wasted, otherwise they will not withstand any setbacks.

With the help of the Terran's special building, the "Sensor Tower," even if Leyou cannot obtain K's vision, he can still detect the movement of K's forces through the Sensor Tower's sensors.

Leyou is now in a position of complete composure. He knows what tactics K will use next, and he has already made preparations.

Or rather, from the very beginning of using urbanization tactics, Leyou had already planned out all possible countermeasures—in short, to remain completely unmoved!

The most terrifying aspect of the Terran's urbanization tactics is their impenetrable defensive lines and the defensive forces behind them that could launch a counterattack at any moment.

Leyou can know K's movements, while K is completely unaware of Leyou's situation. Even if Leyou's mechanized forces are outmatched by the air force in terms of mobility, knowing the initiative is enough to neutralize that slight mobility advantage.

Soon, K launched a second attack. Unlike the previous one, this time his all-air force stopped most of its troops outside the Leyou defense line.

They only harass with the longest-range Brood Lords, without launching an offensive.

On Leyou's side, having known the situation in advance, he had already mobilized all the tanks and, after calculating the distance, set them up a little behind.

If the Viper wants to lure the tank over again, it must enter the range of a bunch of anti-aircraft missile turrets. Once it enters this range, other units such as Thor can also focus fire, along with Ravens hiding in the shadows ready to drop bombs at any time. If the Viper dares to come, it can forget about taking the tank for free.

The tanks will definitely still be towed over, but the things going with them won't just be tanks anymore.

K immediately realized Leyou's tactical intentions. He wasn't in a hurry at all and didn't send the Viper to drag the tanks. Instead, he slowly used the Brood Lord to wear down Leyou's building durability.

Let's just wait it out. If we keep dragging this out, these buildings will...

"What?! You actually smashed the ore snail here?!"

K was completely bewildered. He saw several ore miners being airdropped behind the defensive line, and after landing, they immediately began repairing the buildings that were under attack.

Besides mining, snails can also be used to repair machinery.

Furthermore, the repair speed is faster than that of SCV, and Leyou does not need to worry about the snails being stolen - SCV requires 50 crystals to produce, but the snail only requires 50 energy.

Energy will recover over time, and in Leyou's current base camp... five main bases were specially built to become star trails, doing nothing but waiting to use scanning to spy on K's intelligence, and occasionally smashing ore snails.

K fell into deep thought. It seemed like there was no point in stalling any longer?

No, we still have the initiative to attack!

K could roughly sense that Leyou had prepared something to deal with his Viper, so he acted decisively and immediately separated all the Viper in his current force. After observing the defensive formation of this attack, he ordered the Viper to adjust their positions and prepare to attack.

His idea was simple: the Zerg rushing into the Terran's rooms was just sending troops to their deaths. It would be difficult to win a direct head-on battle. If they attacked rashly, they would be caught by Leyou's Ravens and bombed to death with Raven Bombs. It was like trading their own resources for the Terran Ravens' energy, which was a completely unprofitable move.

So the key to all this lies with the raven that Leyou is hiding.

However, it is clear that the Raven, as a high-tech unit and a counterpart to the Viper, cannot be too numerous.

The flying snakes can destroy at least one tank in a single attack, so the profit is fixed. The amount of loss depends on how you operate them. As long as you spread out the flying snakes and attack them all at once, you don't have to worry about being blown up because there are more of them.

As long as the main force isn't hit, the sacrifice of the Viper is acceptable.

The current resource reserves, which are already approaching the 20,000 mark, are the biggest source of our confidence!

but--

Just as K was preparing to attack, he saw several alerts light up on his minimap.

K paused his attack, quickly switched screens, glanced around, but found no enemy units, only his own workers being attacked, several of them disappearing in a few hits.

K quickly realized what was happening. He hadn't expected Leyou to go out and cause trouble, so his family wasn't on guard. He quickly sent out a few farmers to start building anti-aircraft gun emplacements in the mining area.

"How was it? Did my invisible banshee give you a good time?" Leyou started harassing K again at the opportune moment.

The Protoss have the Dark Templar to become invisible, the Zerg can burrow most of their units, which is also equivalent to invisibility, while the Terrans are more straightforward, as they can create invisible Banshees in their starports.

They expend energy to remain invisible, and their attack power is so great that two shots can take down a worker, and it's also area-of-effect damage.

While defending the front line, Leyou didn't rest completely. He directly operated on multiple fronts, sending out 8 Banshee fighters to harass K in 4 mining areas at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Leyou would stealthily mine resources. The anti-invisibility turrets would also take a while to build. Helpless, K had to send the Corruptor troops at the front line back to base with a few "Eye Bugs" that could detect invisibility. Otherwise, he might win the battle ahead, but his home base would be lost.

Putting everything else aside, Leyou's densely packed supply stations, planetary fortresses, and anti-aircraft turrets are disgusting just to look at. I wonder how long it would take to dismantle them all.

Because of a fire at his hometown, K's second attack was halted midway. After expending considerable effort to capture those exceptionally slippery Banshee fighters, K immediately launched a third attack.

But this time...

The main force had just arrived at the entrance to Leyou's defense line when another incident occurred at home.

A large number of machine gun emplacements suddenly appeared in their mining area. The previously built defensive emplacements could only watch helplessly as their worker bees were bathed in a hail of bullets and turned into a pool of blood and flesh.

"Raven Cannon? You think this will force me to defend again? Even if your cannon can attack my other buildings, your only threat, the raven, is no longer on the front line!"

"Watch me, Flying Serpent, destroy all your tanks..."

K, who had decided to simply switch bases at worst, stopped issuing commands because he saw a large number of ravens emerging from behind Leyou's defensive line.

There were so many that even the countermeasures he had thought of beforehand were useless; there were more ravens than flying snakes.

With Raven around, an air force charge is useless. Raven also has a skill called Laser Defense Device, which can be thrown out to directly negate the enemy's ranged attacks. Air forces going in would be a waste of time.

"You just wiped out all my banshees, and I happened to have some extra population to spare. I didn't know what to produce, so I just produced all ravens," Leyou explained with a chuckle.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back? Want to switch bases with me? I'm an expert in this god-level tactic of switching bases, are you sure you can beat me?"

"..."

K was speechless for a moment. He looked at the few more planetary fortresses that had appeared behind the Leyou defense line and had no choice but to return to defend again.

Even if they manage to break through, they'll probably be severely weakened. After that... their next attack will only be able to breach the walls, forcing the enemy to build an even thicker one.

"Don't be so smug. Even if you can defend against my attack, it doesn't mean you can launch a counterattack! If you can't counterattack, then at best it's just a draw!"

By this point in the game, K had realized something was wrong. However, with sufficient resources as his foundation, K believed he wasn't without a chance of winning. He even considered giving it a shot. He thought he might as well stay home and build a bunch of turrets and bunkers, just waiting for Leyou to come and attack him.

He turned back to clear out the ravens that had reignited the fighting in his own territory, and then continued his attack. However, after several waves of attacks, the situation developed almost exactly as he had predicted.

Sending all troops in would indeed inflict considerable losses on Leyou, but our own losses would be even greater. Even if all our troops were sacrificed, we would only be able to exchange about 70-80% of Leyou's troops.

When he spent a huge amount of resources to buy back his troops and prepared to attack while Leyou's forces were weak, he discovered that his home had been robbed again.

The Terran race has a very fast light jet train that doesn't consume any gas and is quick to build, making it a basic unit in the mechanized race.

During the previous battle, Leyou immediately dispatched a large number of trains, taking advantage of the opportunity to rush into K's home and wreak havoc, leaving K's mining area in ruins.

After K cleared out the trains with his newly hatched air force, Leyou's tanks and Thor's army were almost ready to head to the front lines.

K felt somewhat exhausted.

I spent a lot of money to buy back my phone, but it seems like it was all wasted.

Unwilling to give up, he adjusted his tactics and strengthened his defense at home before launching another attack.

The result... wasn't much different from before; the only noteworthy thing was that he actually scored.

But we can't dismantle it all.

With the home defenses in place and no harassment troops from Leyou arriving, K happily began clearing out Leyou's buildings.
