Production Speed

“I didn't expect it. In just two days, more than half of the Mis Kingdom has been conquered.”

It was indeed fast. Moreover, given current magical communications technology, news of this would likely spread to the Yelu Empire in the north immediately.

Indeed, the Mis Kingdom and the Yelu Empire were neighbors.

At this moment, a branch of the Swarm arrived in the southwest of Mis.

Near the border, the ground between the mountains was suddenly enveloped in thick mist.

As the insects continued forward, fierce beasts would occasionally emerge from the dense fog.

Their strength was at least Tier 7 or 8. The insects had to move in large groups to have any chance of defeating them.

“Is this the mist-shrouded zone indicated on the map?”

Seeing the scene before her, Xia Jin frowned.

To the locals... no, to the humans of every neighboring country, this was an extremely dangerous area.

The thick mist blotted out the sun. Even flying tens of thousands of meters into the sky, one could not escape its range.

It definitely reached above the atmosphere.

Xia Jin estimated that the height of this Mist Zone reached several hundred kilometers.

“It's so dangerous inside. Is it necessary for me to send insects in to explore?”

She thought about it for a moment and decided to leave it for later.

For now, she didn't feel like the high-tier creatures inside would yield much.

The current zerglings were only Tier 6, which wasn't strong enough. It wouldn't be good if they provoked some entity inside and drew them out.

Lately, the Zerg were searching for weak factions to annex as quickly as possible.

The goal was simple: to accumulate enough power to engage in war with the Dawn Empire.

She looked at the map. It seemed that the only isolated powers currently worth attacking were the unoccupied parts of Haipuai Island and the Yelu Empire.

To the northeast of the Border Forest, there was also a territory specifically marked as the Orc Empire.

“What kind of power are these orcs?”

Calculating things, the Zerg couldn't open too many fronts at once.

“Setting aside those with friendly relations with the Dawn Empire, is the Yelu Empire the next target? That doesn't seem very convenient.”

This country is engaged in a naval war with Dawn, and its land strength is unknown.

It wasn't that the Zerg couldn't fight them, but the problem was that if a real war broke out, the insects located on the other side of the continent couldn't be sent over in time.

The underwater Sea Race was troublesome. Having already provoked them in the West Coast, she absolutely could not mess around in the East Sea. If luck was bad, her entire navy might be dragged underwater.

“Island 1, Island 2, Island 3, Island 4, and Island 5.”

These marked large islands were all sparsely populated places.

Among them, Island 3 was controlled by the Dawn Empire.

As for the other islands, the intelligence obtained from Xia Jin's projection suggested they had little value, and the Empire didn't really want them.

“Then they shall serve as backup bases.”

With a single thought, the small boats on the West Coast began carrying some of the insects toward the islands on the map.

Since they were far from the underwater Zerg's entry point into the sea, the land-based Zerg here could still be transported by ship.

On the other side, Xia Jin began mobilizing hundreds of thousands of land-based main forces. They started moving north along the eastern coast of the city states region, planning to sweep all the way to the Orc Empire in one go.

The high-level magic beasts in the Border Forest were all in the inner regions. Therefore, the strength in these coastal areas wouldn't be too high, allowing the insects to easily flatten everything in their path.

She didn't actually intend to exterminate all the magic beasts along the way. She only needed to clear a safe corridor a few kilometers wide so her main Zerg force could reach the Orc Empire.

“The orcs... with such a vast territory, I wonder how long it will take to occupy it.”

Many days had already passed.

The Zerg navy's development speed was rapid, with many vessels produced every day.

On land, the creep was still spreading.

Unnoticed, the standard energy produced in a day reached 28 million units (excluding the recovery of dead Zerg bodies).

8 million was consumed by the underwater Zerg. In one day, nearly 200,000 Swimmers of three different types were produced, along with a small number of Floating Hive Bugs.

10 million units were consumed by the navy. Every day, they began producing 3 Carrier Bugs (6 million units), 10 escort ships (1.5 million units), and 150 mutalisks (less than 700,000 units).

The final 10 million was invested in land Zerg.

The production of zerglings returned to 20,000 per day. In addition, there were 1,000 hydralisks, 1,000 banelings, 100 lurkers, 100 infestors, 500 roaches, 200 ravagers, 30,000 scourges, 100 mutalisks, 20 nydus worms, and 200 ultralisks. As for other units, swarm hosts and queens were produced as needed.

Any excess was directed toward producing drones.

In fact, Xia Jin's flying Zerg units were now separately supplied to the navy and the air force.

Any surplus aerial insects from the navy would be transferred to the land-based forces.

Of course, as a single race, such a classification was only for Xia Jin's convenience in differentiation and adjustment. When a real battle broke out, there would be no obstacles in cooperation.
