Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

With the help provided by the Zerg explorers, Sass directed the warriors to spread out in the jungle, follow the path previously explored, and head towards the lizardman group deeper into the jungle.

At that time, the Zerg engineers carried the three lizard hunters back to the camp from here.

Although several days had passed, and it had rained during the period, with the detection capabilities displayed by this group of lizardmen, those traces must not have been hidden from them.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that the opponent will follow these traces and encounter the warriors when the time comes, and Sass's plan is to wait for an opportunity to lead the warriors to attack them on their way over.

The facts turned out to be as expected. After carefully searching the area and confirming that there were no more clues, the lizard man team continued to move in the direction in which the engineers dragged the lizard man hunters.

This time so many personnel were dispatched, and their mission was to clean up the threats in the jungle. Naturally, they would not evacuate as easily as before.

During their search, Zero overheard the three leading lizardmen discussing the Zerg.

They believed that judging from the footprints left behind, this was indeed a beast that had never been seen before, and that it should live in groups. Judging from the traces left at the scene, there were at least seventy or eighty animals involved in the siege. , and its attack capability is very powerful.

I have to say that their judgment was very accurate. Sars indeed mobilized so many Zerg at that time, including warriors and engineers.

After that, the leading lizard man ordered all the lizard men to be on alert. They should follow the traces left by the insects to find their nests, kill all these beasts, and ensure the safety around the territory.

However, they had no idea that Sass was already leading an unusually large number of insect swarms towards them, compared to them.

It is understandable when you think about it. A strange and unknown beast suddenly appeared near the living area of ​​your tribe.

And this beast also attacked and killed their people. For an organized and orderly group, this is certainly intolerable.

At the beginning, the leader didn't care about the so-called unknown beast. He believed that everything before was a lie made up by the previous kinsman named Xi Li.

However, when he led people to carefully search the land, he immediately understood that Xi Li did not lie, but he did not pursue it.

Now that he has found out the situation here and knows that there are at least seventy or eighty of these beasts, this behavior of not pursuing them is understandable.

Since he is now leading a large group of people out, there is no reason to return empty-handed.

…………

On the other side, Sass doesn't know the inner activities of the lizard people, and it doesn't care.

When it received the news from Zero that the lizardman brigade was continuing to approach its camp, the warriors were already dozens of kilometers deep into the jungle.

After learning the news, it did not let the Zerg stop advancing and wait for the lizardmen to come to the door, but let them continue to move forward.

Its time is precious, and there are too many creatures waiting for it to study, so there is no time to waste waiting.

From here to where the lizardman team is, even if the warriors are running at full speed, it will take at least nearly a day.

At that time, this distance almost caused the three seriously injured lizard man hunters to die halfway.

With such a long distance, if we have to wait for the lizard people who still need to be alert and rest on the road to come over, we don't know how long it will take.

Therefore, Sass chose to take the initiative. With three thousand warriors, the Zerg had no reason to be afraid even in a frontal battle.

The warriors moved forward until they learned from the explorer's report that the lizard people's team was more than ten kilometers away, and Sass asked them to stop.

It allows all the Zerg warriors to disperse in the jungle, minimizing traces of activity so as not to disturb the creatures in the forest, especially birds, so that the other party will notice that something is wrong. Then, it began to wait quietly.

It was already dusk at this time. According to the conclusions drawn from Sass's research and Zero's observations, although this group of lizard people was called "lizard people" by Zero, they did not have the ability of reptiles to move in the dark. At the same time, They are not oviparous, but viviparous mammals!

Although it is not known why viviparous creatures still have thick scales, since they exist, they must have their own unique significance. Judging from the memories that Sass directly read, there is no doubt that they are indeed mammals.

This means that they will most likely not take the risk of operating in the jungle at night. And that time was the opportunity that Sass was waiting for.

As expected, this group of lizardmen had already set up camp before the sun set. They set up a tall tent in the clearing in the forest, collected firewood on the spot, lit bonfires and torches, and arranged patrols and vigils. personnel.

Zero watched them busy in their camp for a long time before they stopped.

The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness in the jungle came in like a tide, only to be dispersed by the light of fire near the lizardman camp.

The night gradually deepened, and after eating the food, the lizardmen in twos and threes each returned to their tents.

This group of lizardmen obviously had a lot of experience staying overnight in the jungle. They arranged the bonfires and torches in a very systematic way to illuminate the farther area as much as possible without igniting the bushes.

At the same time, the night watchmen also have different arrangements for their patrols. The seven or eight-person night watch team relies on torches to cover the entire camp. As long as they don't nap and make mistakes, there will be almost no blind spots.

The vigils are rotating, so of course this won't happen.

But these arrangements don't mean much to Sass.

Insects chirped in the forest at night, making a sound in the silent night, but it did not seem noisy, it only seemed that the forest was quieter.

In the previous time, the warriors had already completed the exploration of this area, and the wild beasts nearby had also been thoroughly cleaned up. Therefore, in fact, these lizardmen do not need to guard against any wild beasts at all. The only things they need to guard against are the Zerg.

Judging from the defense they arranged, if it were an ordinary beast, there would indeed be no chance of rushing into the camp. It would be discovered in a short period of time, and then be expelled or killed.

However, the Zerg warriors are obviously not in this category.

Evolved from ants, they have full vision of darkness. In their eyes, there is almost no difference between the jungle at night and the day. They are well-trained, follow orders and prohibitions, are not afraid of death, and are numerous in number.

These characteristics are simply not possessed by ordinary beasts.

The firelight flickered, reflecting bursts of whirling sounds not far away. A large number of warriors had quietly sneaked out of the darkness to the vicinity of the lizardman camp.

Although they also have the instinct to fear fire, their absolute obedience to Sass and the Lord allows them to overcome this to a considerable extent.

They waited quietly, waiting for Sass's order.

The night was getting darker, the sky was dotted with stars, and there was darkness under the jungle canopy.
