Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

In the ocean, the Zerg's clearing of sea snakes in shallow sea areas is still continuing. To this end, Zero is still continuing to hatch the Zerg marine unit of foragers. Before Sars completes the marineization of the hatchery, they must take the lead in completing this attack. When cleaning up a large sea area, not just sea snakes, but all threats need to be eliminated.

Although Sars has not yet completed the marine transformation of the hatchery at this point in time, success is only a matter of time. Zero didn't want the huge hatchery to be swallowed by some creature or killed by some strange toxin as soon as it came out of the water.

With the hatchery's huge size and worrisome mobility compared to ordinary Zerg, it is really impossible to guarantee its own safety, which puts forward requirements for the Zerg's protection work.

In fact, Zero already had some ideas about this when the Zerg were attacked by Sommer, but Sass did have too many things to do, so research on this point has been postponed.

Things have priorities. In the current environment, the security of the Zerg is actually not urgent. Even the relatively important hatchery is not an existence that cannot be lost to Zero. If necessary, they and ordinary bugs There is no difference. As long as it can be mass-produced, it will not be precious to Zero.

Therefore, research on this aspect has been ranked relatively low.

Prior to this research plan, the completed projects such as the insect swarm transformation plan, sea unit improvement, etc., have a relatively high priority in Zero's mind.

What remains unfinished are the marineization of the hatchery, even the analysis and research of sea snakes, and the research and transformation projects of fireflies, arranged one by one from easy to difficult, waiting for the "schedule" of SARS.

As long as the capabilities of the Zerg continue to strengthen, the security effect of the Zerg's important units will inevitably continue to improve. This is one of the reasons why this study is ranked relatively low.

In addition, if the swarm can produce more powerful security units, it actually means that they can eliminate the previous units as long as they consume resources. And this is a step-by-step process. Even for Sars, with the number of organisms currently analyzed, it is difficult to achieve it in one step.

It is also exploring, through continuous accumulation, trying to apply various combined abilities to the Zerg itself.

And this kind of application is not arbitrary, it needs to consider all aspects. For example, after the transformation, the coordination of the Zerg's body, whether the comprehensive strength in all aspects has been improved, etc. It is not just a simple superposition. It is very likely to transform some weird things, which is not worth the loss for the Zerg.

Of course, maybe these weird creatures can play some role in some special times, but if there is no universality or urgent need, it is not that important to Zero.

Today, while Zero is waiting for the Zerg Hatchery to complete the oceanization research, his main focus is still on ocean exploration. To be precise, the current priority is to eliminate sea snakes.

At this stage, Zero is not worried that this action of the Zerg will have too serious an impact on the marine ecosystem, leaving them with no food source in the ocean.

The number of Zerg is currently small, and what they are doing is not an extermination hunt, so the impact will not be too exaggerated. Moreover, the development of the Zerg itself always comes first. Under this premise, sustainable development can be guaranteed.

If one day they no longer need such an ecological environment to provide themselves with materials, then their existence will become irrelevant.

...............

The sun in winter never brings much warmth, and even at noon, the temperature is still not high.

The atmosphere in Heli City was somewhat solemn.

The exploratory team sent has not returned yet. According to the general theory of the lizard people, it can be concluded that there has been an accident since there has been no news for such a long time.

Coupled with the white cloth message received previously, an ominous premonition spread in everyone's mind.

This is particularly evident in the heart of the current supreme commander of Heli City, Marquis Toril, who is also a senior nobleman of the empire.

When the barbarians were raging in the past, he was the supreme commander of this crusade. Now, he is the lord of the land thousands of miles from the sea to the west. In terms of the area of ​​the fief, whether it is a real fief or a distant fief, he is the highest ranking noble in the entire empire. They are all among the best.

Even if more than half of the land is actually an endless jungle with few people, it is enough to illustrate his power in the empire.

Unlike ordinary lizardmen, he was able to command an army of more than 100,000 to attack the barbarians, and beat them to pieces who had been entrenched here for unknown ages. Countless barbarians lay dead in the jungle and became food for the beasts. This is enough to show that his abilities.

And in the empire, it can command one hundred thousand troops, which represents one-fifth of the entire Sadman Empire's standing army! Most people would not be able to reach this position in their lifetime, but the fact that he could sit in this position was enough to show that he was a first-class existence in the entire empire in terms of ability, power, and prestige.

His vision is not limited to one moment or place, and he can often discern the enemy's movements through layers of fog.

Initially, facing the intelligence sent by Sommer, he chose the most traditional approach, which was to send a group of teams into the jungle to search to confirm the intelligence.

However, the delay in the exploration team's return made him more and more concerned. Coupled with the fact that the soldiers in the city found the frozen corpse of a hunter outside the jungle two days ago, the sense of uncertainty in his heart became more and more serious.

Because the frozen hunter's corpse had its entire stiff face completely distorted, which was caused by extreme fear.

As the Marquis of the Empire, he is not completely ignorant of the sufferings of the people. In fact, as an excellent commander, he is very aware of the lives of the people at the bottom.

So he can be sure that the severe cold will not affect the hunter who has been operating in the jungle all year round. Judging from his expression before death, he must have gone crazy. That kind of expression, as if seeing an evil ghost, is definitely not something that a lizard man with a normal mind can do. He must have encountered something extremely unbelievable, so that he became mentally trance-like and eventually froze to death in the freezing cold weather. .

This could also explain why his body was found here so long after the incident.

Maybe that ridiculous information is true?

This thought began to flash through Toriel's mind, and he began to think carefully about the information provided on the white cloth, trying to find out the key.

Sommer doesn't know much about literacy, so many sentences require roundabout descriptions. Although this increases the difficulty of reading, it seems more believable at this moment.

Toriel couldn't help but bring himself into the lower class people who didn't even recognize their words. If this matter was true and he obtained this information, how could he send this information to him? How about getting it into the hands of higher-ups and ensuring that it gets enough attention and is not regarded as a lie?

If you think so, then the information described on this white cloth seems to be quite credible.

He tried to put himself into the role of the enemy. If he were the leader of the remaining barbarian army in the jungle, what would be the consequences of using this method to mislead the empire? Ambush an exploration team sent into the jungle? Or is it designed to attack the main elite of the empire?
