Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 307
Hawut's all-out attack was not only difficult for other civilizations in the alliance to understand, but even Zero did not expect that the other party would suddenly launch a battle of this scale without any warning!

Although the Vege Empire's direct combat power within the alliance is not strong at all, it is not as strong as the Hero Federation, let alone Korva, who has been presiding over the affairs of the alliance from the very beginning.

But that is only relatively speaking. Vege itself just has no more interests to pursue against the Zerg. From the very beginning, among the three major civilizations, only the Vege Empire was the least concerned about the alliance, and it is still the same today.

However, if compared to the Zerg, when it comes out in full force, it is still a force that is enough to make both Zero and Mira look at it!
The power of the insect swarm that penetrated deep into the defense line was immediately eliminated. The opponent's operation was a huge one, and it felt to Zero as if it was "deliberately" looking for trouble. After clearing the surrounding insect swarms, the large fleet then Disappeared from Zero's sight.

Two Ori months later, a large number of star colonies in the inner galaxy of the Zerg suffered a devastating blow from their superior combat power.

Under normal conditions, it would be difficult for the Zerg swarm to defeat the opponent with an absolute numerical advantage, let alone the combat forces in the star system that had previously deployed large groups of Zerg combat forces to expand to the front line in the offensive organized by Hawut. It's recovering.

In this sudden large-scale raid, the Zerg were almost wiped out by the opponent in the form of massacre. Although Hawut had his own purpose in launching this war, it was obvious that he would not "send" directly. He still In this way, value is created for the empire and the federation.

This time, he has no intention of retreating, even if his actions will inevitably attract more and more insect swarms.

Hawut even tried to establish permanent industrial facilities in the star systems he had occupied, and he also began to try to establish small space channels. This means that he will be able to continuously mobilize combat forces produced by industrial bases from behind!
Of course, he also faced some problems in launching such a large-scale campaign, the most serious of which was human resources.

The entire alliance has really put a lot of effort into this carefully built defense line, especially the Korva and Hero Federation. Over the past few hundred years, a large amount of resources have been concentrated here, directly creating what it is today. This huge industrial system allows the three major civilizations to "stop" the Zerg here in a sense.

But all three have one thing in common. After hundreds of years of development, their industrial production capacity is undoubtedly overflowing. However, operating a warship requires manpower, even with powerful intelligence as an aid, operating a warship It also requires a considerable number of intelligent racial individuals with basic knowledge and abilities.

Intelligent life does not exist within the three major civilizations. This is something that everyone in the explored universe knows, and it is destined that they cannot rely on strong artificial intelligence, a cold program with fatal flaws, to command a fleet.

Therefore, the matter of recruiting warriors from the local area and actively cultivating combat talents has not stopped since the establishment of the alliance. To this day, each of the three major civilizations has a relatively complete war system on the front line.

At this point, Korva is the one leading the way.Thanks to the superb life science and technology, pure human resources will never be a big problem for Korva. The difficulty lies in the subsequent personnel training and training. But no matter what, in the current alliance's combat system, Korva The fleet directly under Wa is not only the largest in number, but also the most powerful. They are often the vanguard in attacking the Zerg, but this time they were obviously robbed of the limelight.

But it is obvious that Veggie, who has never been too concerned about this in the local area, does not have such good conditions. Before discovering the Zerg, they had just experienced a catastrophe that spread across the entire civilization, and the civilized individuals died directly due to the "curse" Although not too much, the chaos and turmoil caused indirectly cost countless Vej civilians their lives.

In this era, when it comes to available human resources, Korva has many vassal races available, and it also has considerable life technology, while the Hero Federation has many "allies" to provide support, and only "lonely" generals The Vege Empire seems a bit weak in this regard, not to mention that it is only Hawut himself who is waging war now, not the entire race.

Having a huge fleet but not enough personnel to control it was the first problem Hawut encountered, but he actually didn't care too much. There were enough warships with combat capabilities now, and he was convinced that such an attack could Putting some pressure on the Zerg means that the other party can no longer be as indifferent as before. As long as the other party is willing to confront itself, Hawut's goal will be achieved regardless of the final outcome of the war.

As for what consequences his actions this time will have on the entire alliance, and what subsequent actions the Hero Federation and the Korva Empire will take, Hawut doesn't care too much.

He is the highest official of the empire in this star field, and nominally needs to cooperate with all actions of the alliance, but if he insists on going his own way, no one has the power to interfere with his actions until the accountability of the empire comes.What's more, given the current relationship between Hero and Korva within the empire, it is unlikely that they will let Hawut step down because of this.

This is his confidence. At least he will not make principled mistakes, which ensures that this war can continue.

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

Although Toki Zero was initially surprised by the opponent's sudden large-scale active attack, he actually didn't pay too much attention.He also hopes that the Zerg can catch up with the opponent above the level of technology and get rid of this situation where every war is one-sided.

As for the loss of several star systems, or the death of millions or more Zerg units under the opponent's attack, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a drop in the bucket for the Zerg, and there is no need to go to war as before.

As the saying goes, you fight yours and I fight mine. You come to invade my galaxy. We are also constantly advancing. The few casualties are just the loss of some resources. We have not really shown the ability to threaten the survival of the Zerg. After all, He's just a clown.

It wasn't until he discovered that the opponent occupied the original galaxy of the Zerg and began to use it as a stronghold to develop around one by one and eliminate the Zerg units that he truly changed his mind.

Although they still could not threaten Zero itself, they gradually began to actually cause huge trouble for the Zerg to advance upward, because the wormhole passages that had been discovered were occupied, which directly caused the Zerg units in the rear to be unable to move forward quickly. Support, if left alone, the Zerg combat strength on the front line will become quite thin.

After all, the reason why the swarm can continue to maintain absolute numerical suppression and can produce nine-digit or more space units at any time is that a large part of them comes from the support from the rear.

After clearly seeing the purpose of the alliance, Zero was convinced that the other party would not be able to stop the Zerg swarm from moving forward in the end. It was just a matter of time. However, the other party clearly showed the intention of slowly advancing to destroy the Zerg base. Zero felt a slight threat, not to the survival of the Zerg, but to its subsequent development.

Zero can allow them to cut off the Zerg version of the "highway" leading to the rear in this direction, but cannot tolerate their steady expansion and development to gain a foothold in the Zerg-dominated star domain.

This is both a provocation and a real threat.

The insect swarm immediately began to take action. Because the opponent did not divide its forces on a large scale and was mainly concentrated in a star field and expanded in a central blooming mode, Zero did not even need to consider the direction of the insect swarm's assembly.No matter what, the opponent's development here must be interrupted. In other directions, due to insufficient combat power, the Zerg can make concessions and retreat. But here, it is absolutely not possible!

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

In the year 3000 of the Zerg, another brainworm "baby" was hatched in the Zerg space base near the Ori galaxy.

This is the 16th Cerebrate of the Zerg. Its appearance in today's era means another enhancement of the Zerg's scientific research power. A Cerebrate that fully performs scientific research tasks can mobilize the resources of the Zerg without considering the impact of inspiration. The work can often be done more efficiently than dozens or hundreds of top scientists from intelligent races.Its appearance is undoubtedly worthy of celebration.

But the reality is somewhat obscure.

In order to hide the location of the Cerebrates as much as possible and avoid being continued to implement "decapitation tactics" by the Alliance, in recent hundreds of years, the obvious facilities of the Zerg have gradually been transferred to the dark and desolate space zone, even if they are among the few remaining in the Zerg territory Orui, the "natural" life planet, does not receive much special treatment. The Zerg main base is not here, but hidden in the darkness.

As usual, it will still be taught by Sass, and the many intelligent races under the Zerg dominance system will also provide it with nutrients. Its growth rate will definitely not be as slow as the original Sass and Dagoth.

Of course, the time of its birth does not only mean that the Zerg has an extra intelligent unit that will master a huge amount of information and a huge Zerg combat power in the future, but it also represents Zero’s comprehensive protection against the Veggies who are developing and expanding in the Zerg territory. Let the war begin!
Over the years, the Zerg swarms on the front line have been doing their best to prevent the other party from plundering the Zerg-occupied star territory. At the same time, Zero is also mobilizing a steady stream of combat power from the rear.

Now, the frontmost Zerg units have penetrated deep into the alliance's defense line and continue to advance deeper, with no intention of stopping. Behind them, there are swarms of Zerg that continue to be mobilized from the hinterland and other development directions through wormhole passages. !
At this very special time in every aspect, the worm swarms, which had undergone large-scale mobilization, began to concentrate their efforts on launching an attack on the already occupied star system.

That was a siege in the true sense. The opponent seemed to have given up its own mobility advantage and occupied a fixed system. Especially doing so in the Zerg territory was tantamount to placing itself in a strategic siege. But since They did this, and actually caused a lot of trouble to the Zerg. Zero doesn't mind engaging in an endless war with the other party. Even with the current technological gap between the two sides, this war may be Lasts for a long, long time.

Due to the crazy entanglement of the Zerg, the opponent no longer has the ability to expand the surrounding star systems. On the contrary, in the star field near the enemy, the Zerg mother nest is rapidly producing Zerg combat units in the form of "devouring the planet". Some Rare elements are also directly transferred through other star fields, which is very convenient under the "physical carry" of the Zerg.

As the insect swarm counterattacked, the situation quickly changed from the original unilateral invasion and encirclement to a different kind of "encirclement" and stalemate.

Of course, the permanent space channels that Hawut spent a lot of effort to establish made the swarm unable to repel the defenses of the Veggie fleet for a while. These star systems as battlefields were like huge meat grinders. , a steady stream of insects entered it, but never came out again.

Surrounding one planet after another, or an asteroid, or even a vacuum area, the two sides are engaged in a terrifying battle. The swarm is paying a price that is unimaginable for ordinary intelligent races at every moment to save as many people as possible. The ground will cause greater damage to the opponent, so that the insect swarm can drive it out and complete the important task of "recovering the lost ground".

But all this is so difficult. From the observer's field of view, Zero can clearly see the huge permanent space channel that the other party has established. They are replenishing their own from there every moment. loss!
Zero has always been curious about intelligent races like the ordinary Hero Federation, whose technological level far exceeds that of the Zerg.

The intelligent race Zero has seen many, and basically all of them fell at the feet of the Zerg. A small number retained a certain amount of fire and fled, but they did not kill them all. In this era, if you want to achieve true genocide, even if It is not an easy task for the Zerg.

But like the Hero Federation, there is an unknown number of generations of technology difference with the Zerg. Zero really didn't know anything about it before this.

Over the years, as the two sides have had more and more contact, conflicts have become more frequent, and wars in individual star systems have become the norm. Combined with the information provided by Mira before, Zero finally has a vague understanding of his enemy. concept.

He does not have the same connection between Mira and the Federation, nor does he have as strong a modeling ability, but until today, Zero has basically figured out the composition of his enemies.

The invading opponent in front of us is obviously not the Hero Federation that we encountered at the beginning. Whether from the perspective of war technology or the art of war, there are considerable differences between the two sides. As long as there are some differences, Consciousness can be easily distinguished.

Judging from the history of previous wars, although this civilization is equally powerful, it is rarely as "working hard" as this time. Of course, Zero is a little curious about this.

This may be a change in the opponent's strategic decision-making, or it may be some kind of conspiracy of this enemy, which is obviously composed of multiple races. I considered it all under zero divergent thinking.

Abnormal behavior must have an abnormal purpose. Zero felt that he needed to once again improve the Zerg's intelligence monitoring of the opponent.

Sure enough, he soon discovered something was wrong.

During the investigation of the Zerg Explorers, it was not only the Zerg that was attacked, but Mira as well!
And not only the civilization in front of us, but also other styles of warships that we have encountered before are all dispatched on a large scale!

The other party has made a big move!

This was Zero's first reaction.
