Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 264 Total War (page 13)

The disastrous defeat of the Third Fleet directly marked that the Colossians made a major mistake in their strategic decision-making towards the Zerg. The Zerg swarm launched another attack eight years in advance, and the number was much higher than predicted!

If the Zerg develops normally, judging only by the galaxy resources currently occupied here, excluding those used during the journey, it will take at least more than twenty years to reach this number.

However, due to the existence of the Insect Swarm Headquarters, Ruhr can directly draw almost endless Insect units from the various Cerebrates in the main part. If it were not limited by the opening time of the wormhole and the Insect Swarms in other star areas would not have time to assemble and update in the future. , 10 million is far from the upper limit.

Combined with the way the bug swarm first appeared in front of them, the Colossians could easily conclude that the bug swarm had a larger base outside this star field.

But they had no choice. There were only two known wormhole galaxies occupied by the worms, but they were unable to recapture them for a while. In the dark, they didn't know how many wormholes existed that could provide passage for the worms.

In other words, even if they know this, they are unable to prevent the Zerg from coming!

For a moment, after reporting this piece of information, the entire coalition fell silent. It is difficult to defeat the insect swarm in a short time, and if the opponent's number is endless, it means that the war will never end until they are completely defeated.

Unless they can find the root of the existence of the Zerg and solve these ever-growing creatures from the source. However, they have long abandoned the exploration of wormholes. With their current wormhole exploration capabilities, tracing the origin of the Zerg from within is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Of course, what they don't know is that unless they can clean up every bug in the macrocosm, or go directly to Zero and the unknown space that neither Zero nor directly behead Zero himself, the Zerg race will not perish.

But this is impossible, at least not by the Colossians or their coalition.

The military strategy meeting against the Zerg invasion, composed of the top leaders of the alliance and the military, became even more silent after this became clear. Although representatives of various civilizations did not communicate face-to-face, it was just some illusory projections, but these were high or low. The representatives of the short races with their own characteristics all exude a low and solemn aura.

Many things are inherently unsolvable, and this was already doomed when it happened.

Zerg In 1620, the Zerg once again came to the defense line, and with their absolute numerical superiority, they launched a fierce battle with the Colossians that did not last long, and finally razed all the resistance in the galaxy.

This time, the United Kingdom fleet, which was responsible for defending the territory, did not evacuate. They had long expected that the Zerg might attack here again, and they had made adequate preparations as much as possible. However, in the face of the absolute numerical advantage of the Zerg swarm, Everything turned into nothingness.

The dense space junk floating in the orbit of the planet became the last glory of a main fleet.

Of course, the casualties suffered by the insect swarm were not small. In order to achieve this goal, more than one-sixth of the eight million insect warships in the frontal attack were lost, but neither Ruhr nor Zero cared much about it.

Since there were not many casualties, the destruction of a main fleet was only a loss of resources for the Colossians. Even if those large warships were expensive to build, they were not actually a huge loss.

But this breakthrough in the border defense line had an unprecedented shock to the entire civilization. In the history of civilization, there has never been an enemy that can crush their carefully built defense line in such a manner as the Zerg.

Although immediately after the war, many elites of the United Kingdom quickly organized the next line of defense, intending to weaken the momentum of the Zerg attack in this way.

They succeeded, but not entirely.

After organizing the fleet defense for the fourth time, they blocked the swarm's attack. Due to the long-term pursuit of a frontal breakthrough, although there were some additions, the number of this Zerg fleet has been decreasing with the war until it was unable to defeat the Colossians head-on.

They were like a group of iron-headed monsters, always crashing towards the strongest point of the Colossians' defense line, pinning the entire Colossians' resistance force firmly in front of them.

In the year 1629 of the Zerg, just when the rebuilt Third Fleet and the remnants of the Fourth Fleet, in the defensive system established for the fourth time, repelled the Zerg swarm head-on for the first time since the war began, bringing a slight glimmer of light to the entire war situation. , a Hive Fleet with a similar number to the current existing insect swarms appeared outside a life system transformed by the United Kingdom, and defeated a second-line fleet that was defending against the Zerg attack.

Four months later, due to the lack of a sufficient defense fleet, the insect swarm was unstoppable, destroying almost all space forces in the galaxy, and invaded the sky above this modified planet where 4.2 billion citizens of the kingdom lived.

Immediately, the entire galaxy fell.

No one knows how the insect swarm accurately found the star field where this living planet is located in the vast territory. According to previous estimates, even if the front line of defense is breached, the early warning system scattered in the desolate space can be in advance. Learn the movements of the insect swarm and accurately grasp their next move.

However, they accurately found this important place of civilization in such a unique way, causing a fundamental blow to the entire United Kingdom!

In order to ensure the strength, after capturing this place, the insect swarm only stayed for three months, and then quickly evacuated after a brief replenishment.

What was left to the Colossians was a dead planet that was almost as yellow as sand. All traces of the existence of civilization had been completely erased, leaving only endless desolation.

The atmosphere without technological support is slowly dissipating, the oceans without energy sources are rapidly freezing, and the entire planet is heading towards its end, not to mention the existence of a large number of Zerg energy units inside it, which will follow. In the time, through this kind of time, cause as much trouble as possible to the other party.

Even if it can't be completed, it doesn't matter, it's just an insignificant backup.

Only 28 Oridays after the complete withdrawal of the insect swarm, the main force of the Colossian fleet slowed down and entered the galaxy. Looking at the ruins in space and the devastation on the originally prosperous planet, various military bases were far away. The anger and sadness in the hearts of the soldiers are beyond words.

Fourty-two billion is just a cold number, but when it represents the lives of living compatriots, this number seems to be as dazzling as dripping blood!

The death of civilians on such a scale is the greatest shame for military personnel and the most serious provocation to the entire race!

………………

While the Colossians were studying the Zerg, the Zerg were also studying them.

After two consecutive setbacks, Ruhr has already changed his strategy. Just like the Colossians collected Zerg bodies and even tried to capture Zerg units alive for research, it was also conducting the same research on the satellites that monitored the Zerg overtly and covertly along the way.

The Colossians have indeed deployed a large number of monitoring methods to prevent the invasion of the Zerg, but the Zerg also has a larger detection insect species spread by itself. After fully understanding the structure of the opponent's detector, they can use it from the endless desolate universe. It is not difficult to find a gap in the middle to break into the rear, especially when the insect swarm intends to attack from the front to attract attention.
