Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 251 Dismembering the Planet (page 12)

The swarm of insects did not choose to sneak attack. They just marched towards the target location with an upright attitude. Everything along the way would be destroyed by them and could not resist in the slightest.

Although the speed of the insect swarm was not very fast, the Velvet support fleet was obviously too late to join the battle before they arrived at the ninth colonial system.

Fortunately, the Federation is considered a big company. It knows that it is impossible to resist the insect swarm with only a partial army, so naturally it will not make unnecessary sacrifices.

The Federal Military Staff has determined the strategy of trading space for time, and is determined to fight another battle with the opponent after gathering the main force of the fleet. The production of warships takes time. Even in today's era, modular printing technology is quite mature, but still It cannot be achieved overnight.

It is undoubtedly beneficial to the Federation to give up some galaxies that are destined to be lost.

Before the arrival of the Zerg fleet, civilians and workers in various industries who originally worked and lived in the ninth colonial system were quickly evacuated under efficient organization, and fixed facilities that could not be taken away were also destroyed in an orderly manner. In terms of the organizational efficiency of the Federation, , it will definitely be completed before the insect swarm arrives.

Todd is a little troubled. Nowadays, it is like the left hand fighting the right hand. Although the war goal has been set, how to complete it reasonably is still a problem.

The Federation's strategic decisions cannot be hidden from it at all, but if they fight the Velvets with such an intelligence advantage, they may not be able to survive three rounds in front of the Zerg, even if the Zerg swarm has "abolished their martial arts" to a considerable extent.

What Todd is worried about is how the swarm will continue to "perform" if the Velvets are accidentally destroyed. At least at this stage, the Velvets still have some use. Zero has no intention of destroying the Velvet Federation until their potential is drained or the Zerg technology makes a breakthrough and they are no longer needed.

Some people say that war is an art. But for Todd, this war directed and performed by him is really a complete art. The entire Zerg fleet, including the Zerg lurkers, are all actors in its hands, but how to "act" it well and achieve its own goals is not that easy.

In order to prevent itself from feeling conflicted about using its own spear to attack its own shield, it simply handed over the Zerg offensive fleet to Visser, while it concentrated on using the Zerg lurkers as the core to lead the Velvet people to deal with the Zerg "invasion" , on Todd's side, although it will not use the power of the Zerg, it will definitely let the Velvet people go all out.

What stands out is the dedication, just like a game within the Zerg with the Velvet people as the flag and clear rules. But the outcome of this game is already doomed. The swarm commanded by Visser cannot lose to the Velvets who are going all out, even if Todd, who is also a brain worm, "faces" with him.

Zerg In 1504, Visser's Zerg fleet entered the empty ninth colonial galaxy of the Federation and took control of all galaxy resources including energy veins.

This will be the outpost and base camp where the Zerg swarm will launch attacks on the Velvet people in the future. It first completed a thorough cleanup of enemy surveillance forces throughout the galaxy, and then quickly established a Zerg base.

In 1506, Visser collected enough energy crystals to set sail, and the swarm continued to advance. This time, it took less than two months to reach the front line.

At the same time, restricted expansion to the surrounding star fields is also underway. The swarm will not go all out, but it is necessary to ensure that its own intelligence is not leaked.

In the same year, in a deserted galaxy under actual control of the Federation, the Zerg fleet led by Visser and the main force of the three major federal fleets gathered by Todd had their first confrontation here.

Before this, the Velvet people had tried countless times to communicate and solve the problem through diplomacy, but they were all ignored by Visser.

Its main focus was on leading the insect swarm to expand in the star field it controlled, and it didn't put much thought into this battle.

Even so, relying on their numerical advantage and tacit cooperation, the insect swarm also gained the upper hand here. The federal fleet even used gravity bombs on a large scale, but they encountered the same counterattack shortly afterwards.

The biological weapons of the Zerg are no weaker than them, and their physical strength is even comparable to that of the Federation warships. It is worth mentioning that the physical armor used by the main force of the Federation fleet today was designed based on the research and design of the Zerg outer armor.

Based on Pope's original research results, the federal military has worked hard in this area over the years, and it has also brought some inspiration to the Zerg.

On the battlefield, the fleets of both sides fought fiercely around the central star and the only planet in the galaxy. In the vacuum of the universe, it was pitch black, with only the stars consistently releasing light. The warships on both sides did not take much advantage of each other over long distances. As the distance increased, the war quickly became intense.

The battlefield was quickly divided into hundreds of small units by both sides as they moved, and the battle started based on small fleets.

At the beginning, the Federation Combined Fleet was able to fight back and forth with Visser's swarm after the division of troops, but it soon showed its decline.

Although assisted by quantum computers, the scheduling of the federal fleet has been very good, which can be said to have offset most of the advantages of the insect swarm in battlefield control.

However, the Federation fleet, which has not experienced a real space war in the past millennium, is very unaccustomed to the Zerg's life-and-death fighting style. This feeling is especially obvious after the "hand-to-hand combat" between the two sides!

Even if a small advantage is gained on a local battlefield for a moment, it will soon be offset. Although there are many unmanned fleets in the Federation fleet, those controlled by the main fleet are all real Velvet citizens!

When they died, they were really dead, but the insect swarm had no such concerns.

On the overall situation, the loss of a large number of warships caused the federal fleet to quickly begin to retreat. Although it has not completely lost its ability to resist, it has already fallen into a full disadvantage. If it continues, it will be a matter of time before it fails.

And Visser didn't pay much attention to this side even after the war started. At this moment, it was busy with another thing.

Speaking of the expansion of the Zerg in the universe, we have to mention Ruhr. After it returned to the real universe in 1505, it stopped exploring wormholes.

Back then, it discovered a strange phenomenon on a living planet, and after conducting preliminary exploration, it was handed over to Visser.

At this time, Visser was dealing with this matter.

Over the years, the Zerg have developed smoothly in this star system where life exists, but the exploration of the planet itself has always been the focus of Visser's desk.

In order to understand all this, it first conducted a careful study of the genetic material of the creatures on it, but apart from enriching the Zerg gene pool to a certain extent, it did not gain much. Although they were a little strange, they In essence, it is still not much different from other life forms. Different environments create different individuals, which does not seem to be a problem.

So Visser turned his attention to the planet itself.

The Zerg energy unit continues to extract the core energy of the planet deep underground. Visser has no worries here. Compared with a living planet, it cares more about the secrets hidden in it.
