Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

If they had sufficient resources like their opponent, the swarm might not be able to fight the opponent head-on. Unfortunately, they lost all initiative in one careless step, and now they are in such a situation that they can only pick up garbage in the asteroid belt.

When Mira led its mechanical fleet across a long distance of 2.3 light hours and arrived at the asteroid belt at the edge of the galaxy, Visser was already waiting for it with the main force of the Zerg.

Prior to this, the two sides had carried out exploratory attacks beyond visual range. However, what surprised Visser was that this time the biological micro-missiles launched by the Zerg did not achieve many results.

These living bugs carry explosive resources sufficient to cause damage to the outer armor of enemy warships. They can actively adjust their course during navigation and launch suicide attacks on important parts of the enemy.

But this time, the opponent's laser defense was surprisingly accurate! Destroy hundreds of millions of Zerg micro-biological missiles at medium distances.

On the contrary, the Zerg side suffered considerable damage in this round of attacks. About two thousand space units suffered a devastating blow and died under the starry sky.

Nowadays, there are Devourers wandering in front of the battlefield, recycling these body parts.

The accuracy shown by the opponent this time made Visser a little surprised. It was completely different from the previous battles, which made him have some guesses, but he was not completely sure.

Looking at the number, the opponent's seemingly huge formation actually did not exceed the main force of the Zerg. However, the number of Zerg space units facing head-on was controlled by Visor to the number that had been fully hatched before the Devourer appeared, which was about 140,000.

This number is already extremely large for a second-level intelligent civilization in the general sense, but compared to Mira, it is completely insufficient.

Neither side is a race dedicated to cosmic peace, so there is no possibility of any peace talks. The moment they entered the attack range, the war was already in full swing.

Many asteroids have been orbiting stars since ancient times, orbiting silently in the darkness at the edge of the galaxy. Each orbit around the star takes decades or even hundreds of years!

Although it is an asteroid belt, the distance between each asteroid is actually not as close as it seems. It is normal to be hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away from each other.

Of course, on a cosmic scale, this distance can be said to be dense.

At this moment, a large number of abandoned asteroids and meteorites were destroyed, and the insect tide battleships and mechanical fleets from the Zerg race started a desperate struggle here.

This is a war that ordinary people cannot imagine. In the universe, warships from both sides are intertwined, and enemies may come from all directions.

You can often see a scene like this. A mechanical warship fires a laser weapon at close range and shines directly on the body of a Zerg. It only takes a few seconds to cause fatal wounds to it.

In the next second, it was hit by Zerg space torpedoes scattered in the vacuum because the laser weapon was overloaded and unable to defend accurately, and turned into a grand fireworks.

If you look into space with the naked eye from the surface of an over-exploited dwarf planet, you will find that in the universe, there are flashes of light from time to time, like brilliant fireworks immersed in the darkness of the sky, rising and falling, extremely gorgeous.

The insect swarm showed weakness and was defeated in the frontal battlefield. The strong man cut off his arm and left one third of the broken rear insect swarm to escape. The insect swarm and the pursuing mechanical fleet crossed the orbit of the dwarf planet, and the brilliant advancing light flashed across the night sky, like a A massive meteor shower lasting several days.

Visser attracted the opponent's main fleet, abandoned the entire planetary defense of the dwarf planet, and retreated towards the location of the Zerg's main force.

It is not easy to set up an ambush in the universe, especially when the opponent is such an intelligent mechanical civilization.

But Visser still did this. What it relied on was the almost suspended state of dormancy of the insect swarm, and the detection invisibility ability proposed by Dagos based on wide-area electromagnetic interference and octopus-related research.

Using biomass to absorb detection waves and reduce their reflections to achieve the "invisibility" effect is Dagos's latest achievement. With the support of Octopus Man's knowledge system, completing this can only be said to be a small test for it. .

The former will make the opponent's life detection system lose its function, while the latter can make the opponent "blind" in this universe.

As long as the swarm remains relatively stationary and does not change speed, they are equivalent to a group of ghosts.

This is also one of the trump cards that Visser has prepared for the opponent.

Although the speed of the insect swarm's retreat this time was somewhat beyond its expectation, it did not affect the overall situation, because it knew that this was because Mira came to the battlefield in person!

It is not difficult to detect this. It only needs to observe the tacit understanding of the opponent's warships to get a glimpse of it.

The flexibility and combat capabilities of this fleet far exceed any previous ones. After a long period of testing and observation, Visser can be sure that it is here!

Mira's appearance did not make it nervous. Although the difficulty of the war increased a lot, if it could be dragged here, it would be of great help to the actions of the other team of the swarm!

If it were bolder, it might even want to destroy it right here and end this war completely.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, even if the insect swarm has the ability to launch wide-area electromagnetic interference by releasing a large number of small units, affecting the opponent's command system, thereby gaining an advantage on the battlefield.

But it is completely unrealistic to completely cover such a wide range, especially from the edge to the center.

It's not impossible, but it requires an extremely large number. With the size of this main fleet, it may be possible to rebuild them all.

After all, it is a mechanical array with a diameter of nearly 100,000 kilometers, which is no less than that of ordinary giant planets!

And frontal destruction is even more impossible. The mechanical warship's protection of the central main ship has reached an outrageous level. Not to mention that the insect swarm is still far behind in terms of number. Even if it has a military advantage, it is absolutely difficult to defeat it in such a situation. Destroy the battleship under protection.

——Unless it can reach the level of crushing.

In the asteroid belt, the main force of the Zerg, which totals more than 300,000 people, has completed its assembly and set off, heading straight for Planet 5 in orbit, with the intention of bringing this place into the Zerg's sphere of influence.

Without Mira's direct command, in front of the Zerg who have mastered wide-area electromagnetic interference technology, if it is just a small satellite system, even if they have an absolute numerical advantage there, Visser will not be afraid.

Without Mira's real-time command, the swarm can calmly deploy and seize the entire planetary system, which is not without hope!

Visser directed the insect swarms on the frontal battlefield to attract Mira's mechanical fleet to the predetermined location, and at the same time led the insect swarms from the asteroid belt towards the orbit of Planet 5.

Everything was going well until it observed a point of light in the darkness that shone far brighter than the stars in the sky!

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

Mira commanded the mechanical fleet and entered the "ambush circle" of the insect swarm unprepared. The originally spherical formation also changed its shape under attacks from all directions. A large number of warships suddenly appeared in front of the first insect swarm. It was destroyed in one round of attacks, followed by the second and third rounds!

Sparks exploded silently in the vacuum, and the Zerg fleet appeared from all directions like a beast that suddenly awakened and launched a crazy attack on the mechanical fleet tens of thousands of kilometers away!

However, Mira seemed to have expected this, and was not surprised at all. Until the main force of the Zerg completely appeared, the offensive and defensive system of the mechanical fleet was still in order.

Perhaps this is the advantage of mechanical civilization. They can respond to all crises in the most rational state. Even if Mira already has some emotions belonging to intelligent life, this will not change.

However, Visser still thought wrong. The reason why the mechanical fleet has experienced a lot of losses in a short period of time and can still maintain absolute silence is not only because they are a mechanical civilization, but because all this is expected!

Faced with the indiscriminate bombardment of the insect swarm, the mechanical fleet led by Mira quickly launched a counterattack. The insect swarm said it was an ambush, but in fact, it did not have the ability to completely annihilate the opponent. Even after an unexpected ambush, it gave The opponent caused huge losses, but until now, the number of the insect fleet was only equal to that of the opponent.

With the emergence of Mira, Visser's main goal in launching this war has changed from holding back the main force of the mechanical fleet, containing Mira's computing power, and creating opportunities for surprise attacks on the other side, to holding down Mira herself!

Unfortunately, Visser has found it difficult to achieve this goal.

Where it couldn't see, a large number of mechanical warships were approaching the fierce battlefield. They actually relied on their numerical advantage to form an encirclement against the fighting insect fleet!

Even though this kind of encirclement in the cosmic space is actually very loose, for the insect swarms currently at war, they do not have the ability to get rid of the tangled enemies and quickly evacuate the battlefield.

On the other side, as soon as the main force of the Zerg left the asteroid belt and started to accelerate, it received warnings from surrounding detectors - a large number of mechanical fleets were approaching quickly!

At this moment, Visser did not realize the seriousness of the problem until a warning came from the front battlefield!

At this moment, it finally suddenly realized that the other party had already anticipated its actions! This is a highly targeted attack, but it is not just targeting the entire Zerg race, but it - Visser!

It is likely to destroy these two insect swarms' only main fleets in the galaxy in this war!
