Overlord: Rise of the Zerg
Chapter 130 The Last Navigation (Page 12)
In an empire with a large population, there will always be some smart people. Because of their wealth and other reasons, some of them hold high positions and scold Fang Qiu, while others join the market and hang out all day long.
But what makes smart people smart is their insight into situations.
Although depending on their status, they received news about the Zerg sooner or later, but after learning the specific characteristics of the Zerg swarm, most of them made the same choice - escape!
Because they are clearly aware of one thing, that is not an existence they can resist!
Even if some people know the consequences of resisting, they will try their best to protect the things they care about, even if they lose their lives for it.
But after all, they were only a minority. When the situation became clear, the entire lizard people group began an unprecedented and crazy migration on the mainland.
Everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They have no way to resist the threat of the Zerg and can only choose to go into exile.
In this kind of exile, new lizard people forces were constantly established, and they were quickly destroyed by the Zerg that followed. The extremely turbulent society left the lizard people displaced and suffering.
Countless lizardmen died during this process, but only a small number of them died directly at the hands of the insect swarm.
Countless lizardmen died due to turmoil and exile, famine, disease, riots, and various reasons.
But those so-called smart people have already begun to plan their own way out early.
If you have a long-term perspective, you will know that based on the characteristics of the insect swarm, if you let go and develop, there will no longer be any lizard people on this continent.
The so-called seclusion and escaping from the world is even more out of the question. Under the swarms of insects searching the mountains and seas, there will never be such a pure land. Those insurmountable chasms for the lizard people are useless in front of the swarms of insects.
Therefore, this group of people set their sights on the sea in the distance.
The empire has a long history of exploration of the ocean. It started from city-states and finally unified the continent. Their achievements are not entirely based on this huge land.
It's just that dominating the continent has given it more or less complacent ideas. Without absolute interests, it has been difficult for the empire to really take steps to open up the ocean.
Despite this, during the long war to unify the continent, the empire's achievements in the ocean were still remarkable.
Although there has never been a true ocean voyage, in fact, the conditions for ocean voyages are basically met.
A hundred years ago, scholars from the empire had proposed the theory that they could roughly locate their position by observing the stars in the sky above the ocean, and this theory has been confirmed in subsequent practical applications.
There are even academic masters who are proficient in astrology, and based on various phenomena observed in daily life, they have made an appalling inference that the land they live on is probably a ball!
However, due to the need for governance, this view that is completely different from the mainstream cognition has become a heresy that is condemned by everyone and has not been taken seriously.
In terms of ship technology, the empire's level is also not low. Nowadays, it is common to build large ships that are tens of meters long. At the peak of maritime transportation, the empire once built super ships that were hundreds of meters long and more than thirty meters wide!
This kind of ship actually already has the ability to sail across the ocean. However, as the forces on the continent were destroyed one by one by the empire, the burgeoning navigation industry was gradually put on hold. For decades, although the empire's maritime transportation from north to south was still busy, it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. There were such treasure ships, but they had never really sailed to the ocean.
Until now, under the pressure of the Zerg, some people finally came up with the idea of going to sea to escape disaster, hoping to find a chance of life for the tribe in the ocean.
They all began to think about the huge fleet of the former empire, and undercurrents surged in various docks, ports and even shipyards.
Some people used their former power, while others looked for the remaining connections. They united all the forces they could muster to make this matter move forward.
Experienced sailors and sailors were persuaded to return through various means, and large amounts of supplies and fresh water were quickly prepared...
In this way, almost all of the first batch of lizardmen to take refuge at sea were those with the quickest reactions and superior mobility.
Before the swarm really swept across the continent, they used this method to bring enough supplies and a small population, and fled the land where their ancestors had lived for generations. With the desire for a new world, they were forced to sail to a distant place. In the sea, follow the traces of records left by our predecessors to find new livable places.
And this was just the first batch. Their actions awakened too many not-so-smart people. For a long period of time, under the pursuit of the Zerg, going out to sea by boat became the dream of all lizard people. A way out.
However, what they don't know is that above the ocean, the Zerg are also expanding rapidly.
For the first batch of lizardmen to go to sea, the huge ships provided them with enough security on the sea, but they also brought huge risks.
Because of their sheer size, they are easily spotted by foragers scouring the mainland.
With the support of the hatchery in the sea, these smart lizard people once again experienced the fear brought by the insect swarm. A steady stream of insects climbed onto the ships from the sea water, killing all the lizard people on the giant ocean ships. die, and then use the large amount of supplies they brought to reproduce rapidly in the ocean.
Few of the lizardmen who went to sea could truly escape.
On the contrary, a large part of those who went to sea slightly slower escaped and sailed to unknown waters in small boats to meet the same unknown fate.
And this is not what Zero cares about.
No matter how large the number of Zerg is, it is impossible to intercept all the lizardmen going out to sea on the vast sea. And there is no hatred between them and Zero that is enough to make Zero try his best to kill them all. Life and death are determined by fate. Being able to survive in the sea while driving a small boat is their luck.
The insect swarm's attack on their ships at sea was just a casual attack. It was not targeted at all, but it also cost them a huge price.
The Sadman Empire had in fact perished. Almost all of their senior officials, including the emperor, had become the nourishment of the insect swarm. They were so rich and powerful that not even a handful of loess was left behind.
But this does not mean that there is no longer resistance from the lizard people on the mainland, even if the resistance that has been organized is really vulnerable.
The insect swarms are scattered again, whether it is mountains, rivers, or fortresses. With the help of diggers, the lizardmen have found it difficult to find a way to restrict them.
In the process, the swarm of insects repeatedly broke through the defenses organized by some whimsical careerists, and gradually allowed those lucky lizardmen to truly understand the reality.
With their strength, it is absolutely impossible to resist the Zerg!
More and more lizardmen choose to flee to the sea, but most of them do not even have the ability to withstand wind and waves, let alone attacks by sea-going Zerg.
