Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 324: Local Total War

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Mr. Zero feels that the impact of the soul attack incident on the Zerg has weakened a lot in recent times.The insect swarms are still dying, but in this event that has lasted for hundreds of years, to this day, the size of the dead insect swarms has no longer expanded, and has even begun to decrease.

Zero denied the "illusion" conclusion, which was not supported by much direct information. From Sass's rough statistics later, he could clearly see the advantage of insect swarms dying in recent years.

It has been 3196 years since the Zerg incident first broke out in 600. At the beginning, the Zerg population died on a large scale, and each time it would be more severe and account for a larger proportion than before.

But more than 100 years ago, around Zerg year 3655, this phenomenon changed.

Zero discovered this from the statistics of Sass this time, because during that period of time, the death rate of the Zerg reached a historical high. So far, it has never increased in the following 100 years. Even after the extreme high, a rapid decline has begun!
In fact, this can easily remind Zero of the great breakthrough and relative maturity of the Zerg space technology, which allowed the Zerg to complete an expansion in a very short period of time that would have been impossible for thousands of years.

But after research, he basically ruled out this.First of all, the time does not exactly match. There is a time difference of more than 30 years between the application of space jump technology and the decline in the rate of "soul invasion" events.

Secondly, it is also the most important reason why Zero has basically ruled it out. That is, after the ratio reaches its highest point and begins to decline, as the insect swarm enters a new era, there is another huge, almost unlimited expansion, which should be accompanied by a larger scale. The impact of death is quietly declining!
The number of Zerg individuals that died each time actually fell instead of rising shortly afterwards. It was as if this attack did not come with the Zerg completing a rapid increase in number in a short period of time, but gradually retreated away!
At least from the data point of view, roughly starting from the year 3679 of the Zerg, the number of Zerg individuals dying due to this has been decreasing every year. Although the change is not huge, it is indeed happening.

With the rapid expansion of the insect swarm and the hatching of a large number of insect species, the overall number has doubled, and its corresponding proportion has become smaller and smaller. Now, it is almost negligible.

But Zero was not very happy.

Because this is not normal.

The intelligence obtained from the Veggies shows that the three major civilizations have also been threatened by this attack, and have paid a much heavier price than the Zerg in the past time!
But the situation they faced showed no signs of getting better!
Zero does not take all these changes for granted. He sometimes does ignore some things that do not threaten the Zerg. For example, if he did not deliberately count this time, he would not realize so quickly that this kind of attack is harmful to the Zerg. The damage caused by the Zerg is diminishing so quickly.But in this matter, He will never arbitrarily determine that the other party has lost the threat to itself!

On the contrary, this extremely subjective attack method that can show completely different characteristics between two different races just allowed Zero to confirm that the existence of those suspected soul bodies are not attack weapons without intelligence. They are still there. choose!

The Zerg have killed at least 29 trillion large and small individuals and units in total, but have not achieved any effective results, so has the target been completely shifted?
I wonder if the three major civilizations have achieved any results? !
This is obviously a layout and must have its own purpose. As for what this purpose is, Zero also has many speculations, but these speculations cannot be verified on the Zerg itself. The information left behind by the two cases of brainworms before their death gave Zero too much It’s not like Zero didn’t have any guesses about the reference materials, or even why the other party would “let go” the Zerg.

It's just that he has experimented on the Zerg too many times and realized that it is impossible to get the results he wants from them!

The only targets that are likely to succeed, even the perfect targets, hide behind them is a huge monster that covers the entire insect swarm. Although it cannot directly help them resist the invasion, it ensures that the enemy cannot successfully do anything to them.

………………

Zero has no intention of pursuing it at a deeper level for the time being, because he does not have the corresponding ability, and there has been basically no progress in the study of the soul. This is not because the researchers are not working hard enough, but it is just that many aspects are impossible to talk about.

It is like a brand new science, but the Zerg only opened the title page and saw it, but that was all. The follow-up was blurry or even blank.

His current main goal is still to deal with the three major civilizations!

Zero will never give up until these aliens are forced to flee their homes or become vassals of the Zerg!
Now there is nothing that can hinder the progress of the Zerg swarm. The three major civilizations, especially the Hero Federation, are no longer mysterious in front of the Zerg. A large number of Zerg fleets have entered a jumping state. This time, they each have their own clear direction!
Faced with those living planets and important base coordinates that are still far away, Zero has no intention of letting the Zerg breed and expand all the way. Although that is the safest way, it can give the other party a lot of time and opportunities. Zero is not willing!

He would rather consume massive resources and let the 5000 billion insect swarms behind carry a large amount of supplementary energy and enter a jumping state at the same time. He would rather continue to raise energy reserves, spend more money, and continue to deliver combat support to the front line at the fastest speed, rather than give it to the other party. Chance!

Even if he couldn't cripple the entire civilization in one fell swoop, he would still make the other party pay the heaviest price, if not for anything else, just for the road that had been deliberately "blocked" over the years, the irritability of being wantonly harassed, and the irritability of those who wandered around in their own territory. Randomly, there are also brainworms who are being hunted to death!
It's been a long time since Zero directed the swarm to attack a civilization. The swarm has been expanding to this day. Most of the time, this kind of thing is controlled by the brain worms. They will judge whether the other party has the opportunity to join the Zerg scientific research team based on the potential of the race. If there were, the intensity of the war would be much lower, otherwise the whole army would be pressed!
The word compassion will not appear in the minds of the brainworms, and they will not even have mercy on themselves. However, in the primitive era of the Zerg, it indeed existed in Zero's mind and was truly practiced. .

However, after a long period of time, Zero has faced thousands of living lives and has long lost the reverence for life in those years.When tens of billions of intelligent races fall under the slaughtering knife of the Zerg, even the most sensible individuals will become numb and become indifferent.

What's more, Zero has already experienced a lot of situations like this. Although it was the Cerebral Worm who made the decision to organize the Zerg Swarm to launch an attack, the development model of the Zerg Clan was basically promoted by him.

After many years, Zero once again raised his butcher knife with his own hands. What he faced was no longer a primitive civilization, but the strongest civilization the Zerg had encountered so far!
I don’t know what kind of difference they will show when facing the most real death.

The insect swarm is jumping collectively, and such a huge movement cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested. Not only the three major civilizations have suffered losses due to lack of intelligence in this war, but Mira is also among them!
Of course, it does not have the ability to read the brain like the Zerg, so although as a winner, it has obtained many useful gains, including many key equipment that the opponent did not have time to destroy and a large amount of intelligence intercepted from the "information battlefield", but it did not Obtain a large number of key coordinates at once like the Zerg!

But this does not prevent it from following the direction!The number of mechanical fleets is also huge. In the past few years, Mira has accumulated a huge amount of resources through iteration after update. Even Zero doesn't know where it has built its factory. Although the mechanical fleet is difficult to Achieve perfect recycling like Zerg units, but Mira has no shortage of resources at all.The large-scale disappearance of the insect swarms in the rear has also aroused the vigilance of the three major civilizations. A large amount of relevant information is being collected and the data is being summarized. In the end, including the Vege Empire, a terrifying conclusion has been reached!

They are heading towards all three major civilization colonies in several galaxies near the battlefield!
If there are only one or two of these directions, it can be said to be a coincidence, but now the three major civilizations, eight colonies in this star field, and a total of 46 colonized planets, all have this possibility of happening at the same time, then it is It can't be a coincidence, it's a confirmed fact!

Our own intelligence is leaking!

This was their first reaction. The Zerg had no reason to know this, but they obviously knew it. The three major civilizations all had some guesses as to how the information was leaked.

Nearly half of these galaxies are the territory of the Hero Federation. Considering the previous failure of the Federation at the hands of Mira and this special time, it is difficult not to suspect that Mira "stole" from the federal information database. Some secrets were revealed, and even the Federation itself thought so.

Although their monitoring of the Zerg is widespread, it is ultimately impossible to achieve close monitoring. The Cerebrates are deliberately protected objects and are basically impossible to be discovered by them. Naturally, they cannot directly read the spiritual wealth of civilization. Able.

Now that the Zerg's target has been discovered, although time is quite short, they cannot remain indifferent.With the previous offensive shown by the insect swarm, these star fields will probably become terrifying meat grinders in the end.

These military forces may be able to bear it, but it would be unacceptable if the sins of the Zerg war were to befall the people who were already extremely unstable due to an internal catastrophe.

The hands-on migration area immediately began to migrate, and the enhanced armed forces also began to move towards the target star field.

These important star fields all have material and energy channels that directly communicate with the rear, and their transportation capabilities are much stronger than those that are still at the forefront of the fierce battle today, but from this moment on, they will all be at full capacity. .

The insect swarm is still moving forward, and their single jump distance is still a long way compared to the average level of the three major civilizations, so it will take more time to reach their destination.

But Zero did not hide the movements of the swarm too much, because they could not build those places from densely populated and wealthy places into huge interstellar fortresses during this period of time!
From the minds of Hero Federation prisoners, Zero knew that they did not have such technology, because the targets chosen by the swarm this round only took 61 Oridays to reach, and what could the enemy do in this short time? ?

Evacuate people?Violent organizations don’t have enough time!

It was precisely because he was convinced that the other party could not do it that Zero issued such an order. This time, those "hard bones" that have been difficult to crack on the front line for a long time will become the foil of the war, but it is obvious that they must be abandoned.

Because the rear cannot deal with such a large-scale insect swarm attacking key star areas while still freeing up a large amount of transportation capacity to support them. Even if it could, the support intensity would be significantly reduced.

They are just like the Alliance defense line that was gradually left behind by the swarm of insects. There is no need to maintain it anymore.

The fleet group in the early stage of the swarm has been out for 34 Oridays. Although this calculation is not accurate, it does mean that the enemy does not have much time to make a choice.

——The Zerg will help them choose!
...............

Through the released new generation of explorers, Zero saw a busy and chaotic star field.The other party was doing something in a hurry, but the swarm of insects had already arrived!

Without being attacked, the opponent should also know that facing a swarm of insects of this size, relying on the concentrated fire attack in just a moment would not even make a splash, so he simply gave up this little advantage and turned his own Energy and time are invested in more meaningful things, such as population transfer.

Through stable space channels, they are transferring the population to unknown star fields through various means, and at the same time, a large number of combat units are being transported out of the channels.However, no matter how the concept of efficiency is improved, it will eventually have its limit. In any case, this Zerg fleet has arrived here, and the other party no longer has the possibility to continue leisurely preparations.

If they were to observe from the only natural life planet in this star field, at this moment, just through ordinary astronomical telescopes, they would be able to capture many light spots that flashed in the night sky. , that is the result of the Zerg combat unit fighting with the enemy!
The insect swarms in the front are fighting, and the support from the rear seems to never end. Zero does not care about the cost this time. The resources and insect combat units accumulated in the rear over the years have long been unknown. From this moment on, they will all given meaning by war.

This is just the first place. In that huge area that spreads across several galaxies, the insect swarms will launch attacks one after another within six Oridays!

If the previous offensive battles and Mira's victorious raid were just appetizers of the war between Zero and the three major civilizations, then from this moment on, the war really begins.

Of course, even so, after Zero has mastered a large amount of information, it can still be determined that this can be regarded as a "local all-out war" between the two sides at best, and it is not enough to reach the level of a "strategic decisive battle".
