Hints
This mission requires a bit of know-how.

The river separating your own base from the Beasts is heavily guarded and not efficiently passable with your current unit set. Even if you make it across the river, you will be defeated ashore.

The secret is the small Beast base on your side of the river. You have to copy a Minion and build a Stronghold. This way, you obtain a Beast tribe of your own.

This is the point where it becomes complicated. You have to tech up with the Beasts until you can build Warlocks. With those and a few Void Walkers, you have to go to the underground. There are a two Ogre Maulers that are defeated easily. Under each base, there is a large open area and here, the powers of the Warlocks and the Void Walkers come to play. The Beast Leaders keep making a tour around three fixed points. They stop at each waypoint for a short period of time. When the Leader does that, you have to freeze him with a Void Walker casting a Fog of Death. Then, a Warlock (or several) casts so many Meteor Strikes until the Leader is dead. You do that with all three Leaders and the mission is accomplished.

If you want to go a different way, you can copy a Seeker with a Void Walker, burrow to the enemy base, open a dimensional gate and send your army through. This is, however, very resource- and time-consuming and the army you have sent will be annihilated (three times).
