Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Even for an ordinary intelligent civilization, directly attacking its home planet is undoubtedly an act of war. Of course, the Zerg and Korva are indeed at war now, and any method used by the other side is reasonable, and no matter what method they use to win, it is not an exaggeration.

But that is an evaluation from an absolutely objective perspective. For the Zerg, attacking Orui is equivalent to an insult like digging up someone's ancestral grave. Even if Zero has a need for their secrets, he will never use such a provocation. remained indifferent.

To put it bluntly, a secret is just a piece of information, whether you know it or not, it is more to satisfy some curiosity, but sometimes when you are angry, being curious or not is not that important anymore.

Prior to this, the swarm had been infiltrating the Korva Empire with all its strength. Although they encountered some difficulties, the progress was generally satisfactory to Zero.

Of course, this kind of infiltration operation cannot be hidden from the internal review of the Korva people, who are equally professional in this regard. But this action of the Zerg is more of a conspiracy. Even if it is put on the table, it will be difficult for the enemy to completely stop it.

Over the past twenty years, the two sides have been engaged in a long-term struggle over invasion and counter-invasion. After deciphering the basic composition of the Zerg lurkers for the first time, the Korva people were able to make decisions against the Zerg lurkers every time. Killers or other antibodies, and the Zerg microscopic units began to mutate crazily under the leadership of the brain worms.

Attack and defense continue to exist on this invisible battlefield, and its intensity may not be lower than that of the Hero Federation and Mira.

Under such circumstances, the progress of the swarm is naturally not that rapid, but Zero is not in a hurry. He is willing to wait for the swarm to accumulate more strength, and also hopes to get what he wants from the Korva people before launching a general attack. .

This time, Zero wasn't sure whether it was because the invasion of the Zerg actually threatened the enemy's core interests, so he called in such an attack that had far greater symbolic significance than actual significance. But since it had already happened, in any case, for Cole Watt's strategic plan should be changed.

Over the years, with the continuous invasion of the Zerg, even if they encountered stubborn resistance, they still obtained a lot of intelligence. Of course, it is still somewhat difficult to achieve their goals. After all, that is the most important part of the entire civilization of the other party, so even if the original The secret infiltration was actually a direct invasion, and Zero still had a backup plan.

After all, it is impossible for Zero to complete this task in front of the other party under the premise that the other party is already on tight defense, unless the other party is unable to resist the infiltration of the Zerg by then, but that will definitely take a relatively long time.

…………

Today's Zerg attacks mainly rely on frontal attacks or secret infiltration. Now that the opponent has what Zero needs, to a certain extent, the Zerg swarm feels like throwing a rat into a trap, and secret infiltration faces an existence like Korva, " "Secretly" has obviously become a false proposition. Faced with the current situation, Zero decided to launch a new plan.

That is "regional infection".

The infection of the Korwa people by microscopic insect species is like a virus that is always evolving and mutating. It is ever-changing and always targeting the weaknesses of the Korwa people.

However, Korva took strict precautions against this biological invasion. At first, he only imprisoned individuals who were confirmed to be at risk of infection for research. Later, after realizing that the effect was insignificant, he targeted the ever-evolving Zerg invasion units. , they began to develop biological "vaccines", which was somewhat difficult at the beginning. It was also the period when the Zerg infiltration was the most serious. At this stage, the losses of the Korva people were also huge. In addition to the massive leakage of intelligence, more importantly What is most important is the demise of many talents, which is the foundation of a civilization!

The Korva people are very accomplished in biological defense, at least they have strong power in their own defense. It didn't take long for the invasion momentum of the insect swarm to begin to be curbed. Even if they tried to "infect" the other party with the help of various creatures from the other party's home planet in various forms, a solution could always be found quickly, at least. It is also a partial solution.

As the Korva people have a deeper understanding of the Zerg "invaders", their offensive and defensive response has gradually stabilized their position. If the main force of the Zerg swarm does not launch a frontal attack, they will be able to sustain it for quite some time, and even in the future. There might be a chance to counterattack.

But at this time, someone proposed a raid plan. As early as more than a thousand years ago, the three major civilizations were vaguely aware of the special characteristics of a certain living planet for the Zerg. After all, the nearby star fields had been overrun by the Zerg swarm. It's a mess, but this place is still lush and green, and it's hard not to attract attention.

Of course, the Zerg also attaches great importance to the defense here, but this has given the Korva people a "gambler" mentality. Just like when they were obsessed with capturing the Cerebrates, they believed that maybe the "lifeblood" of the Zerg, or the main units, existed on this planet, and maybe destroying it would end the war.

This is of course the most ideal situation. There is no intelligence to support this, but another argument is more convincing, that is, since the two sides are at war, destroying the enemy's important facilities is naturally one of the means of war, not to mention this This planet is so special that even if it doesn't end the war, it can still make the enemy pay a certain price. No matter what, it's not a loss.

From the enemy's perspective, they had no reason to hold back against the Zerg if they had the ability. Therefore, in addition to resisting the Zerg invasion, a plan to destroy Ori was also put on the agenda, which ultimately directly led to the current situation. Such a situation finally made Zero lose most of his patience.

The so-called "area infection" is actually the ability to use special Zerg units to cooperate with the Hive Mind to carry out superficial "mental transformation" of enemy individuals within a short period of time.

As early as a hundred years ago, the Zerg Swarm was able to use a large number of specific units to cooperate with the Hive Will to temporarily affect the thinking of intelligent individuals within a very small range. This was mainly due to the Zerg's deeper research on the "consciousness" level. , of course, the sudden increase in the strength of the Hive Will that comes with space jumps is also one of the main reasons.

Back then, Zero had tried to conduct experiments on the outermost federal individuals. The results were quite satisfactory and could barely meet the requirements. However, at the same time, its limitations were also very serious.

Launching such a range of influence is a huge drain on the Hive Mind itself. The "operation" ability of this collection of trivial "consciousnesses" of trillions of Zerg units is not unlimited, and such " "Regional transformation" has gradually become a reality driven by research on soul and consciousness, but its consumption is still too huge to bear.

Even a small-scale "Zergization" impact is enough to "suspend" the Hive Mind in a sense for a period of time.

This is also the reason why Zero does not include this solution in the regular plan. Of course, in recent years, as the Hive Will has grown larger and larger, this restriction has actually gradually narrowed. To this day, although it is still impossible to use it without restrictions , but it can still be done once to take revenge on the Korva people.

Since the subtle influence is long-lasting, a well-planned collective "change of flag" becomes a completely new choice.

He only intends to use it once, and the strength of the Hive Will can only allow the insect swarm to carry out such a large-scale activity once. Regardless of whether it can achieve its goal, the main force of the insect swarm will launch the most violent attack and destroy this long-standing empire in one fell swoop. Erase it from this star field.
