Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

What is the purpose of launching a war?

For the lizard people, it is to defend their homeland; for the octopus people, it is to fight for living space; for the Velvet people, it is to regain lost territory; for the Federation, it is to defend the territory.

For the Zerg, this has always been clear, that is, to become stronger!

There is no civilization in this universe that does not want to become more powerful, and they achieve this through various means. Politics, economy, military, technology, culture, etc., but in the Zerg, everything is simplified to war and conquest.

Of course, this is not the exclusive right of the Zerg. In this vast universe, any civilization can embark on this path and make itself stronger in this way.

Therefore, such a kind of civilization-predators was born.

After civilization developed to a certain level, they either tasted the sweetness of civilized plunder, or they have maintained such characteristics of civilization since ancient times. In short, due to various chances and coincidences, they took some or even all of their ethnic groups and began to attack the entire The universe is advancing, but the target is extremely clear-those civilizations that are not highly developed and have a large gap with themselves in terms of military development.

Of course, they will occasionally use their elusive abilities to attack the strongholds of some advanced civilizations in order to gain a lot of benefits.

The latter will undoubtedly help their development, but the former is the main goal of this type of civilization in the universe.

Because for them, ensuring their own safety is the most important thing, and lower civilizations may not have their own characteristics. They are also fascinated by the unique scientific research ideas and the unique technologies that are closely related to the history and culture of their own people.

Best of all, it's easy to achieve and the risk is minimal.

Not all intelligent civilizations can take this path, but those who have taken this path are all intelligent civilizations that once struggled to survive on the surface of the planet.

But now, after tens of thousands of years of space navigation, they seem to have already thrown away their humbleness and suffering in the garbage heap of history. With their superb war technology, they are fighting against those who are still in their "infancy". The intelligent race struck hard.

Of course, there is no sympathy or pity in the cold universe. The so-called cooperation and transactions are basically based on almost the same strength.

The Zerg have no qualifications to criticize this kind of civilization, after all, they are also one of them.

But there is no point in blaming. Treating the Zerg as lambs under the iron fist and slaughtering them wantonly. This kind of blatant act of war has only been done once by the Octopus Man so far.

…………

Dagos was surprised by the retreat of these strange fleets, but he quickly reacted.

It is obviously unrealistic to pursue them. Although it is very dissatisfied, it also understands that, let alone the issue of whether it can catch up, even if it catches up, the Zerg cannot actually do more.

The shortcomings in combat made the insect swarm lose all meaning of taking the initiative before gathering a numerical advantage sufficient to crush everything.

However, these warships should never have taken away the remains of the Zerg's body. Moreover, they are still living remains.

Although the current insect swarm has not fully understood the nature of this attack, some things are actually obvious.

Since this raid was launched, but they retreated midway with an absolute advantage, and before that, the opponent occupied a Zerg planet base and took away a large number of Zerg biological samples, it is easy to conclude that Two possible conclusions.

First, the previous judgment was wrong. They were not coming for the living planet of Sk, but to obtain biological samples of the Zerg. After achieving their goal, they naturally retreated.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility. Looking at the previous posture of the opponent and the slightly hasty deceleration process during the retreat, this conclusion can basically be overturned.

As for the second one, the opponent's decision to retreat was obviously made after they captured a Zerg base, so it can be speculated that they obtained something unexpected from this base, which allowed them to Thinking that they have gained what they want, or making them feel that they can no longer achieve their goals by continuing to move forward.

If you speculate carefully, the possibility of the former is very small. After all, no one refuses to get more if they can easily get it without paying any price.

Therefore, the latter is fully highlighted.

They learned about the characteristics of the Zerg from the Zerg base, so they judged that even if they wiped out the Zerg swarm in the entire galaxy, they would not be able to get what they wanted, and would even cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, they turned around and left in time. Stop loss.

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

Although this is just the speculation of the brainworms and Zero, it is indeed the case.

In a star system deep in the starry sky, there is a massive rocky planet, and a large number of regular and uniform spindle-shaped artificial celestial bodies are suspended in its orbit like satellites.

Each of them is similar in size to a Zerg medium-sized space unit, but the functions they carry are completely different.

They are where the entire Prand civilization now lives.

As a predator civilization, after lighting up the interstellar navigation technology, the Plandes discovered the secret of energy crystals, and then quickly entered the role of predators.

It took them five hundred years to get rid of their home planet, build more than 6,000 "Home" transport ships, and lead most of the tribe on a journey to seek broader development in the vast universe.

Along with it, there are tens of thousands of real warships.

Of course, there are also a large number of ethnic individuals who are unwilling to travel far and stay on the home planet, existing as another branch of civilization, but in fact, since the departure of the voyage fleet, the two sides have almost gradually lost contact. Between them, they gradually became two civilizations.

Thousands of thousands of years have passed, and no one in this temporary galaxy camp would think about going back and "reuniting" with the "mother civilization" that had been left on the mother star. To plunder them would be considered as an act of benevolence and righteousness.

However, at this moment, the current Prudential executives are not satisfied with the gains from staying here.

Although the universe is so vast, the fire of civilization can always light up in a corner, and along the way, they have indeed eliminated many races and gained huge benefits, so that they can reach what they are today. situation.

But this time I stayed here, but my gains were very limited.

Among the two races that have just entered the interstellar world, the Plande people only obtained some scraps, and most of the technologies are useless to them. Compared with them who migrated in large numbers, this time can be regarded as a one-time event. Loss-making transactions, waste of energy and resources, and secondarily, the main reason is the stay time of hundreds of years, which is too much of a waste of time for a predator civilization.

A predatory race often does not have the tenacious scientific research will of ordinary civilizations. Everything can be obtained from robbery, so why bother to study it?

This is not to say that there are no scientific research talents within this race, but this is the ethos of the entire civilization. For a long time, these scientific researchers have been patching things up on the basis of plundered results. They lack the momentum to make progress all the way from scratch.
