Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 271 Predators

Although Dagoth's nine-digit support fleet had set off from the origin galaxy and entered the wormhole a year ago, it was obvious that some beings were not aware of this.

In 1847, Zerg detectors, far away from the outermost reaches of the star system, were widely spread out by Sk to monitor the vast galaxy space. At a certain moment, they detected abnormal space fluctuations.

According to the general theory of the Colossians, this is an inevitable phenomenon caused by changes in super-light engines such as the Zerg. As time goes by, it will be quickly smoothed out, and it is basically difficult to find it without careful observation.

Obviously, there are currently no creatures in the swarm sailing in this state outside the galaxy. Even if there are, Sk will not know about it.

Then, it must be other unknown existences, and for the Zerg, this usually means enemies.

Sk immediately became vigilant. After all, his planet had just begun to look like a living planet, and it had indeed taken a lot of effort. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of Zerg combat units guarding the periphery, there was no guarantee that the enemy would not attack. Face.

However, because the insect swarm had only occupied this galaxy for a short period of time, the number of explorers spread out at this time was not particularly large, and the scope was also very limited. Therefore, when the traces of the enemy's navigation were actually discovered, the distance between the two sides The distance is already very close.

Zerg In 1848, just when Sksk mobilized the Zerg combat power within the galaxy and prepared to take the lead in entering a defensive posture regardless of the enemy's strength to ensure its own safety, a "tiny" fleet had already appeared at the edge of the galaxy.

It is indeed an understatement to say that it is small, because compared to the six-digit biological fleet in front of them, this small fleet with a total of only three figures can be regarded as a pocket.

But the other party seemed to have no such awareness at all, and just entered in such a grand manner, and came directly towards the Zerg fleet without any hesitation.

Moreover, Sker did not receive any information about the exchange.

It was obvious that the other party did not come with any peace, but at the same time it seemed that they were confident enough to crush the insect swarm.

Generally speaking, there will be no fools in the real sense among interstellar civilizations. Such arrogance must be backed by something. Since they obviously do not have an advantage in numbers, they must think that their technology has far surpassed that of the Zerg, and they have The strength to crush.

Sk is not just a worm that likes to be reasonable. Looking at the opponent's posture, there is no reason for it. Thousands of Zerg version of high-yield nuclear bombs have been directly launched as exploratory weapons, and a large number of gravity weapons have also been launched. Deployed on the opponent's forward line, at the same time, just in case, Skok himself was returning to orbit as quickly as possible, regardless of the fact that he had just built a decent planet, and there was something wrong with his preparations. Just run away.

Since Gore set an "example" for the swarm, this is also Zero's request.

The high-yield nuclear bomb used as a test had completely lost its effect just as the shield outside the opponent's fleet flickered open and closed. At the same time, the attack from them had also arrived.

Zero observed that, as if coming from some mysterious force, the Zerg space species suddenly died violently one by one across a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, and their bodies became mutilated at the same time.

——Although it is not clear what it is exactly, the insect swarm is obviously under an unprecedented attack!
And this means that although the opponent's warships are less than one percent of the Zerg's, they do have offensive and defensive capabilities that far exceed those of the Zerg's space units!
As the battlefield continued to get closer, the Zerg's large-scale energy weapon bombardment was actually blocked by it. You must know that over the years, the Zerg's energy weapons have undergone several upgrades, both in terms of power and energy consumption. Orders of magnitude!
But even so, it can't break through the opponent's defense!The Zerg's own energy shield and the most high-tech bio-alloy outer armor can't even stop the opponent at all!

But the enemy's shield covering the entire fleet seems to be able to block all entities or energy. Nothing can pass through it!

"The situation seems a little bad..."

For a long time, although the enemies that the Zerg have encountered have some technological levels that are higher than those of the Zerg, and there is even a certain generation gap, none of these enemies can't cause any damage to the Zerg's war weapons, and none of them can attack at this distance. This resulted in such an exaggerated battle loss ratio with the Zerg!
0: 5026!

Yes, the opponent had an exaggerated record of zero battle losses and wiped out more than [-] Zerg space units in the process of advancing!
The gap in war technology between the two sides is visible to the naked eye!
Even the insect sea tactics that the Zerg were proud of had basically lost their meaning under such an exaggerated strength gap. Even if so many insect swarms launched simultaneous attacks, they could not shake their determination to move forward at all.

Of course, Zero knows that everything in the universe is closely related to energy.He does not believe that this so-called shield can continue to intercept the Zerg attacks forever, will never be overloaded, and will never run out of energy, but at least at this stage, after more than six figures, the Zerg space species can last for nineteen years. Under Ori Ri's crazy attack, the opponent remained unscathed, and even the speed and direction did not change much.

As arrogant and arrogant as ever.

Zero carefully calculated that if the Hive Fleet commanded by Sk in this star system caused almost invisible damage and almost no obstacles to the opponent, then only 96 Ori Suns would be needed for the enemy to reach Sk. before!
The premise is that the opponent will not increase the speed midway.

According to the time prediction, the fleet that Dagos sent into the wormhole to support two years ago would need at least 622 Oridays to reach the battlefield!

How can we make up for the time gap that is visible to the naked eye?
Zero didn't know, but he knew that in this short period of time, no Zerg support would be able to arrive here.

If Sk is not prepared to escape, it will die in 96 Orui days, or become a prisoner of the opponent.

Therefore, at this moment, for the sake of its own life, it can no longer stay here and guard the "living planet" that it has just completed through hard work.

Evacuation is its only option, even if it is very reluctant.

In the past many years, to be honest, the number of times that the Zerg tribe has been killed by the enemy is very few. Perhaps the Octopus Man who was like a bereaved dog was one of them, but then it was directly destroyed by the Zerg Swarm. hope.

It has always been the Cerebrates who have led the Hive Fleet to attack everywhere. Wherever they passed, the fire of civilization was extinguished. Countless individuals of intelligent races either died or became prisoners. Never before have they been attacked like this by enemies, especially It's a point where enemies that can be "seen" come to kill them directly, causing even the Cerebrates who command the swarm to flee.

But the matter has come to this, and if there are no subsequent changes, the outcome of this sudden war is already doomed.

Failure is inevitable, at least judging from the available intelligence.So, under Sk's somewhat reluctant gaze, it and its "car" disappeared into the quickly opened wormhole passage, and the command of this war came into the hands of Dagos.

As the second cerebrate of the Zerg race, Dagos has presided over only a handful of wars over the years. Most of the time, it led the Zerg swarm to develop step by step, and rarely led the Zerg swarm to charge into wars like before. .The main reason for this is its bad luck. Over the years, ever since the brainworms "went their own way", no intelligent race has ever been found in its "jurisdiction". There are only endless desolate planets and Dark universe.

But as the undisputed "veteran" among the Cerebrates, it undoubtedly has war experience in the early process of leading the swarm to expand. There is nothing wrong with it taking over the command of the swarm, besides, in its After that, its support fleet will arrive here. If it can deal with the opponent in the wormhole and delay it until the wormhole fleet arrives, perhaps this almost one-sided war can still be fought.

In just a dozen Oridays when Sk left and Dagos took over the command of the war, the Zerg space species that stood in front of the opponent and launched frantic attacks on it once again lost tens of thousands of individuals, and both sides The distance between them is also getting closer!
The death of a large number of Zerg individuals has reduced the attack density of the Zerg swarm a lot, but the pace of the opponent's advance is still as unhurried as ever, with a sense of oppression like strolling in a garden.

But after the evacuation of Sk, Dagos no longer cares about what step the opponent can take. Even if all the Zerg units in the entire star system die, it will not affect its judgment!
Except for the "living planet" that Sksk cares about, there are no important Zerg units here.

As for the so-called "living planet", the Zerg can even be manufactured in batches if necessary, and there are no key facilities at all.

…………

While the war continued, many doubts also came to Zero's mind.

Generally speaking, war always needs a purpose, either to conquer land, to plunder people like the Zerg, or to obtain resources, etc.

But what's here?

Apart from an ordinary wormhole passage, Zero really couldn't think of anything that would attract enemies if the Zerg occupied this place.

It seems that the other party is not the type of crazy expansion like the Zerg. So, what drove them to come here and come in front of the Zerg?

In other words, what is special here?
Zero didn't know, but it seemed that the other party had a clear purpose.

From a navigation point of view, there is no doubt that the opponent's goal is the "living planet" where Sk was previously!
"Did you come here for it?"

It doesn't seem to be anything special, it's just a planet. Why does it have the ability to attract enemies of this level?
But soon, Zero understood.

Looking at the wormhole channel that has been opened in the star system, and the planet that Sksk has gradually managed over the past few decades to look like a real living planet, floating in the dark universe, if we leave aside the Zerg itself Not to mention, the insect swarm observed such a phenomenon, so what does it mean?

What they represent is actually the fundamental proof of the existence of intelligent races!
The other party is here for this!

Therefore, even if they directly observed signs that a wormhole had opened while the war was going on, the other party did not show any obvious abnormal behavior, because "they" knew that "billions of intelligences exist on the entire planet" "Civilized individuals" would never be able to escape easily in such a short period of time!

Although there is no direct evidence, this speculation does have some truth. If we think of the wiped out civilization discovered by Ruhr before, then the credibility of this speculation will be even higher!
This unknown enemy may be in the hunting civilization!
Although there was almost no communication between the two sides, and the overall intensity of the war was not very high, from this perspective, the other party seemed to have a certain degree of similarity with the Zerg itself.

Just like Ruhl's current exploration, it is essentially not much different from this kind of behavior.

"Is this... meeting a colleague?" Zero couldn't laugh or cry.

Although the opponent's offensive and defensive capabilities far exceed those of the Zerg, at this moment, with Sk's withdrawal, Zero has set his sights on the opponent's roots.

He knew that the few hundred warships that appeared in this star system could never be everything the other party owned.

In this deep and dark cosmic space, there must be a behemoth. It is there. It has only dispatched part of its combat power, but it is so confident that it is arrogantly trying to conquer the insect swarm here!
.......................................

At this moment, all the Zerg bases within the galaxy have entered the stage of crazy incubation. A large number of Zerg version of the "space docks" that breed medium-sized space units are consuming astronomical amounts of resources and energy, leaving these still in a state of incubation. Larval zerg units mature rapidly.

The medium-sized space unit is undoubtedly the most cost-effective Zerg unit to cope with the current battlefield situation. I did not expect that one day, the Zerg will be reduced to the time when cost-effectiveness is considered. However, the situation is stronger than the people. The purpose of Dagoth is very simple. Through layers of Resist, block the opponent from the wormhole passage, wait for the arrival of Zerg reinforcements, and then use more than nine figures of the Zerg Hive Fleet to test whether the opponent's defense is really unbreakable and whether their attacks are really traceless. Can be found!
…………

As time went by, the insect swarms fought and retreated, but never caused any casualties to the opponent.

Even the opponent's shield of unknown technology that seemed to be flickering forever showed no signs of weakening. Their speed never changed, and their attacks never stopped.

It seems that these four hundred small warships are absolutely invincible.

But Dagos did not give up. Even if the number of Zerg individuals is continuously replenished from the rear, it can only be maintained at around 16, and the downward trend is also quite obvious.

If this continues, its war goals will be impossible to achieve.Because the other party's navigation process has not been interfered with, this means that they will arrive at the expected location at the previously expected time.Although Zero doesn't care, it will indeed cause the Zerg to lose a lot of galaxy resources, making the Zerg's strategic output become more and more stretched, until it can no longer support it.

However, at a certain moment, Dagos was surprised to find that the attack from the opponent stopped!
The Zerg's attacks did not cause any damage to the opponent as always, but at this moment, they have begun to accelerate and decelerate with extremely exaggerated speed. It is obvious that they are ready to leave!
　Sorry, sorry, I was a little tired after I came back today and went to bed. I didn't expect to wake up at 11:30. It was too hasty. I'm sorry everyone. The second half has been changed. You can see it after refreshing. . . . . . . .

　　This chapter should have a few more words than the actual number of words displayed. It’s a compensation. I missed it while I was sleeping! !
