Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 381: Expelling the Alien Beasts

In the previous battles, when faced with this "small universe" that was almost the same as the space of alien beasts, Zero didn't think much about it and subconsciously regarded it as the place where this magical civilization was born.

It wasn't until news came from the scattered Infinite Zerg explorers that he discovered several unusual clues.

First of all, the Zerg have only arrived on a few planets, but even on these planets, the other party is carrying out almost crazy destructive mining activities.

This is actually normal. Zero initially attributed it to the other party trying to mount some kind of resistance to the Zerg invasion, until he discovered the ruins of another completely different civilization!

Somewhere in the darkness of this universe, there is hidden the last technological creation of another civilization. It was once a space station suspended above the mother star. In that anti-invasion war with great disparity in power, even the mother star It no longer exists, but it survived by chance.

The Zerg discovered this place by some kind of luck. Even if the number of micro-explorers scattered out was extremely large, there was not enough density for them to understand every inch of space here.

In fact, this can be regarded as a coincidence, but fortunately, in this space station, the Zerg discovered living intelligent creatures!

They used primitive freezing technology to fight against time, but they could only survive. The inspection found that the supplies on the space station have been consumed to an extremely low level, and the energy is still sufficient. However, without access to the material world, they can do nothing but hide in this floating space station as if "self-sealed" and wait to die. That’s all.

But the strange thing is that Zero did not find any trace of magical civilization on this dilapidated and primitive space station!

They are like those primary civilizations in the real universe that have just escaped the shackles of their home star and entered the deep space of the universe. Even their technological structures are very similar.

Of course, the main reason why the Zerg can know all this and make the judgment that the magical civilization on the battlefield is not native life is that the lurkers control the sleeping individuals here!

Since non-magical living life exists, the Zerg has entered the most proficient stage.

Speaking of which, since the Zerg 3000 years ago, the lurkers have almost never controlled individuals of primary civilizations. They often face the overwhelming power of the Zerg, just like facing gods, and either voluntarily submit or are destroyed.

But this time, Zero obtained some information about the earliest days of that magical civilization in this universe from these intelligent race individuals that had almost completely withered away.

Due to the extremely huge difference in strength between the two, this primitive civilization was destroyed without much response. Therefore, although these individuals who wandered around when the war broke out survived, they did not actually stay. How much useful information is there.

But the only thing that is certain is that the magical creatures that control the battleships are definitely not born in this universe!

Because here, the power of magic does not exist at all!

Zero, who first received this information, didn't really believe it. He didn't doubt the authenticity of these records. The power of the Zerg lurkers was not something that such individuals could directly resist through will, not to mention that they were still sleeping before.

What Zero doubts is how a civilization like theirs, which has just stepped out of its home planet, knows the energy situation of the entire universe?

You have to know that when the Zerg were still above Orui, how could they know that there would be existences like Zhuna or Psionics?

From the data, it is known that this may be because they have never found this kind of energy in their exploration of the universe, but this is not enough to be completely credible.

But then again, if magic energy exists widely in this universe, then there will be more or less clues on every planet, such as in the space of alien beasts, even on the edge. There are almost no magic ores that can be mined in the area, but there should always be subtle fluctuations in magic power.

From this perspective, combined with the current exploration information of the Zerg, their conclusion is very possible, and if this is true, it almost confirms the fact that this magical civilization is also an invader!

Thinking of the other party's invasion of the real universe, Zero couldn't help but become a little silent.

Aggressive?

Looking at those planets that have been brutally mined, it's hard not to be directly reminded of the idea of ​​just doing it and running away.

So, if there is no magic power in this universe, where did the other party's such mature magic technology come from? A universe that was invaded before?

Or are they truly native? !

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

As the Zerg's understanding of the transformation of psychic magic and the nature of undead magic has improved, the Zerg swarm has also begun tentative breakthrough attacks on the battlefield with magical civilization.

The opponent's magic circle is very strong, but after studying it, the Zerg have figured out some of its rules.

To put it simply, these warships seem to be attacking separately, but in fact there is a hidden magical linkage between them. This is connected through some kind of technology that the Zerg does not know yet. Maybe it is a kind of magic with special properties. It's just that this needs further research.

But no matter what, the impact of such "formation" on the Zerg on the battlefield has become smaller and smaller. This is an indisputable fact.

The insect swarm began to interfere with each other's activities in space, including development and supplies.

Of course, there is also the matter of confirming whether the other party comes from this universe, which is equally important.

Once the insect swarm no longer cares about the opponent's deliberate interception and its own casualties, and breaks through the defense line with all its strength, the damage caused is staggering to both the enemy and itself. Just like today, those planets that one can tell at a glance must have been managed by the other party for at least decades will be completely destroyed in just a few Oridays.

The technical core of this magical civilization is not so easy to obtain, and it may even be in a more distant unknown space.

In this case, Zero does not have to make the insect swarm pay any more unnecessary costs. He must first remove the opponent's existing power from the universe. As for how much he can gain from this process, it depends on luck.

In the alien beast space and the insect battlefield, the insect swarm is also advancing vigorously. Since the first insect mother body was discovered, the insect swarm has fully understood the weakness of the enemy hidden under the overwhelming numbers. Wave after wave of attacks are like The wave generally beats forward, while the enemy on the opposite side is only retreating steadily.

In the space of alien beasts, swarms of insects surrounded magical planets one after another. After clearing away the adult alien beasts existing in the space orbit, the remaining ones could only be slaughtered and could not make any waves.

Although this star field is not small, the planets containing high-value magic energy ores are scattered, but there are traces of them. If you count them carefully, there are not many.

In addition, these alien beasts never have any tactics. After they reach adulthood, they only fight alone. They basically do not pose a threat to the insect swarms that always gather in huge numbers before setting off.

Zero even suspected that the invasion of the real universe that year was their only collective action in this life.

Because of this, the star field occupied by the enemy as a whole is getting smaller and smaller, and the number is also falling again and again. The Zerg's activities here are like strolling in a garden, rushing, fighting, surrounding, massacring, and repeating the cycle. Losses are extremely limited.

However, as a large number of planets were captured and developed, Zero faintly felt that the opponent's individuality seemed to be strengthening.

Of course, the magnitude of this enhancement is not large, but it was ultimately confirmed to exist.

Zero thought there was something unusual about this. The insect swarm has formed an overwhelming encirclement in the entire star field. Logically speaking, the opponent is only getting weaker and weaker, so how can it still get stronger and stronger?

If it weren't for any special magical properties, there would be zero reason to suspect that the insect swarm might have approached the opponent's "nest" in this universe!

After demonstration, it has been basically confirmed that these strange beasts come from another universe, so Zero guesses that as the insect swarm advances, they may be able to find another space passage!

The insect swarm continued to advance, constantly encircling and suppressing the larvae of the alien beasts, until at a certain moment, less than ten light years apart, the intensity of the alien beasts on the two battlefields almost doubled!

Zero was not surprised but overjoyed. This change of the other party was not a bad thing. At least even at its current scale, it still did not pose a threat to the Zerg. On the contrary, it showed that there must be some pleasant things in it!

At the same time, Zero began to mobilize high-powered Zerg combat forces from all directions in the alien beast space. In conjunction with a batch of newly hatched Zerg magic units, Zero quickly began to assemble in this direction!

Not only has the opponent's individual strength increased, but they are almost all adult units, and for the first time they have the ability to cooperate with each other. Even if it is relatively simple and not very sophisticated, at most it is a coordinated attack between individuals, or small groups. A large-scale group launches a surprise attack, but there is no doubt that with the opponent's number and individual strength, their combat power will be more than doubled. !

Zero already had a premonition that the intensity of the war between the two sides would increase dramatically for the first time. The swarm was not afraid, but needed to add more combat power, even reserves.

No matter how much you look down on these alien beasts, in fact, their individual strength is always higher than that of the Zerg. What's more, these individuals who originally had almost no intelligence actually have the intention to cooperate, which greatly enhances their threat!

Zero didn't know the reason why they had such a change. It probably was because they had a unified commander, or they were influenced by something that could lead to such a change.

But what the Zerg need to do will not change. No matter how powerful the opponent becomes, what they need to do is still to eliminate every alien beast on the battlefield.

As a result, the insect swarm launched an attack brazenly, and waves of high-energy insect units and new magic units began to confront the enemy!

At the beginning, even though the casualties caused by the other party to the Zerg were more than ten times greater than before, the Zerg did not take it seriously. This was all expected and not worthy of surprise.

Until they advance the front line to a planet that is "heavily defended" by the opponent!

Here, a battle group composed of Zerg and powerful alien beasts started fighting at the cost of life and death, but here, the cooperation between these alien beasts has simply improved several levels!

For example, when one of the alien beasts uses its powerful magic defense to push forward against the attack of the insect swarm, there will always be three or four of the same alien beast staring at the attacking individual insect swarm and attacking!

It can be clearly seen that they are not attacking at will, concentrating fire, limitedly destroying big threat targets, etc. It can be said that they are just at their fingertips. The vanguard team of the insect swarm ran into such a line of defense, and they were killed and wounded immediately. heavy!

Without even thinking much, Zero immediately made a judgment that this planet must be unusual, or in other words, it is very important to these strange beasts!

Otherwise, there is no reason to have such defensive strength here, making the swarm of insects that have been going smoothly here feel as if they have hit a steel plate.

Zero became even more interested. These alien beasts that did not have much intelligence now have this level of cooperation. Could it be said that there is a command unit for them on this planet?

Or is it an individual like the Zerg who possesses intelligence and can absolutely convince the crowd?

Confirming its importance, the Zerg swarm has no intention of being frightened by casualties. In fact, as long as the damage is not a one-time destruction of the star field, there is a high probability that the Zerg will not have any concerns. Millions and tens of millions They were just numbers. The insect swarm regrouped and after briefly summarizing the enemy's previous defensive characteristics, they once again launched a continuous attack!

The main support forces from all directions in the rear are already arriving one after another. They have enough time and combat power to consume the opponent!

In Zerg 4997, with the Zerg swarm attacking almost with corpses along the way, these powerful and closely coordinated alien beasts were finally surrounded within the orbit of the planet.

The enemy has no way to escape, and the next step is the crucial orbital battle!

If it were other planets, after such a long period of consumption, the huge losses would definitely deplete the alien beast combat units on this planet, but it is different here. Even after the battle until now, the enemy still has weapons that are so huge that they can even Head-on shock to the number of insect swarms!

Of course, they are far inferior in terms of magnitude, but with their strong individual combat power and increasingly close cooperation, they are no weaker than the Zerg on orbit!

Zero thinks he guessed it right!

Because with the intensity of consumption in this war, even a single planet is absolutely unable to support the opponent's continuous supply of troops. However, the opponent is still continuously replenishing a large amount of combat power on the battlefield to this day, which can only explain one thing. Thing - there is a channel connecting other material worlds here!
