Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

"A space weapon?" Zero thought to himself, not caring about another failure of the Zerg in front of him. He was just very interested in the thing that was suddenly released.

As for this local war, He is not worried at all. Renault might have thought that it was over here, at least he had gained some head start, but Zero didn't think so.

In the galaxies that had been cleaned up by the Colossians before, the insect swarms were still active. They thought that everything would be fine after cleaning up the macroscopic insect species. However, as long as the insect race existed, unless they could remove the entire planet from the inside, Clean everything thoroughly whenever you go outside, otherwise the insect swarm will not die out.

Of course, this is just a backup plan.

In addition, even if the wormhole here is closed, Ruhr can still find an exit nearby. The endless swarm of insects is destined to come, which is unstoppable.

Of course, Renault still bought some time. From the time it took to change the outlet to the time spent on the subsequent journey, they were able to gain at least about ten years.

Ten years can indeed allow the Colossians to make a lot of preparations, but it doesn't matter, Zero doesn't care.

While the war in Colossae came to an end with the victory of the United Kingdom fleet, the two Zerg main fleet groups previously sent by Ruhr had arrived in the new territory.

There is the control area of ​​the civilization Oran Kingdom, the main member of the Pan-Galaxy Federation. It took the insect swarm more than ten years to arrive here. This time, they split into two and attacked from two completely different directions!

Different from the extreme attention of the Colossians, although Oran also received the war report from Colossians, he also knew very well that the two fleets sent by the Zerg before were most likely to go to their territory, but they had not really experienced it. , it’s still hard to understand the terror of the swarm.

A civilization, especially a huge intelligent civilization, can never decide to do one thing with all its strength at once. People like the Colossians are already considered to have extremely strong organizational power.

There are always various different voices within civilization. Even if many things are clear, it is not that simple to implement them. The interests of all parties need to be balanced, and the needs of internal forces need to be met. Those criss-crossed interest networks run through a civilization, from the top leadership to the bottom. Everyone has their own needs and interests. Not everyone has a long-term strategic vision.

Moreover, sometimes even having a long-term perspective cannot solve the problem.

For example, if there is a war that will come in five hundred years, during these five hundred years, the entire civilization must go all out, and all activities need to serve the war. As a result, the living standards of the people will be greatly reduced. Meeting basic survival needs is the only way to defeat future enemies. So, will this decision be supported?

In the long run, this is absolutely a matter of life and death for the entire civilization, and it is absolutely right to do so. But if you want to actually implement it, it is even more difficult than reaching the sky.

I don’t know how many people would have this idea, “What does the war five hundred years from now have to do with me? Can I live for five hundred years? Why should I struggle on the line of food and clothing to meet the needs of five hundred years? "

This is a common problem of intelligent civilization. Even a highly centralized civilization cannot avoid such things from happening. This has nothing to do with foresight, but only depends on the human heart.

But fortunately, the swarm did not let them wait for hundreds of years, nor did they let the other side realize the crisis of annihilation. Just a dozen years later, they had arrived at the Oran border star field and captured two defenses in one fell swoop. Not a tight star system.

At this point, I have completely established my footing.

There is no wormhole here, so the swarm chose to develop on the spot. Taking the Colossians' war standards as a reference, this number is indeed not enough to deal with Oran, who is also a major member of the alliance.

The nearby natural wormhole exit is already being searched for, but compared to this, Ruhr obviously hopes to directly occupy the Orans' wormhole galaxy.

Before the fist hits oneself, it is difficult to have a personal experience of pain.

Now, the people of Oran have realized it.

The Zerg had eliminated the two garrisoned fleets without much effort. Although the casualties were extremely limited, it was enough to verify that the Colossians' judgment was absolutely reasonable.

Although they are both members of the alliance, the Colossians obviously do not have the idea of ​​​​making the core technology of combining their own consciousness with machinery public. Therefore, Oran's battleships still use "manpower" on a large scale.

Of course not real citizens of Oran, they are very valuable.

A biological "synthetic human" produced directly by the kingdom replaces human power. It is a method widely used by the entire alliance, but the racial characteristics are different and the details are different.

Its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, but it is very effective. The advantages are low price, assembly line operation, and certain intelligence, which can replace most labor costs.

The disadvantage is that it is slightly rigid and not flexible enough.

Of course, it is completely sufficient to deal with ordinary wars. It is not "they" that really determine the outcome of the war. There is no essential difference between these mechanical creatures and the warships themselves. They are just war consumables.

Compared with the Colossians, they are naturally far behind, which is why the United Kingdom of Colossians is the leading existence within the entire union. But compared to the Velvets, this was enough to crush them.

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

In 1606, in a galaxy 106 light-years away from the frontier of the Colossians, a group of bugs appeared in the real universe when a passage opened.

Subsequently, using the energy crystals they carried, they reopened the channel and immediately stabilized the wormhole exit. As the exit rapidly expanded under the continuous supply of energy, more and more Zerg warships poured out, from In the light of stars shining on the entire galaxy, a group of huge creatures slowly passed by, as if there was no end.

Immediately, Ruhr and its "car" also appeared from inside the wormhole.

This is the closest wormhole to the other party besides the wormhole star system that has been occupied by the Colossians. The angle between it and its original position relative to the exploration and defense line of the Colossians is 62 degrees, and the distance is also Far enough.

Therefore, even after the last war, the federal fleet, which had managed to eliminate the swarm of insects, began to send out exploratory fleets to clean up possible mineral vein channels in the outer star areas of the territory, but it was not able to reach here for a while.

After the previous wormhole exit was violently closed from the outside world, Ruhr had already realized what had happened. It led the fleet assembled by Visser and chose a suitable exit for them.

The raid war failed due to the Colossians' unexpected emphasis on the Zerg. So this time, it does not plan to divide its forces anymore, at least not to attack from multiple directions.

Looking at the huge insect swarm in front of him that instantly eclipsed the stars, Ruel couldn't think of how the Colossians could resist their attack.

Rely on that kind of space weapon?

Judging from the previous wars, it is indeed extremely lethal. The ability to tear apart space is almost instant death upon contact, and it has an extremely wide range.
