Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 384 Ambush

The alien beasts were completely eliminated, and the insect swarm also directly took over the opponent's spherical "portal" that connected the universe.

No more alien beasts appear, and the swarm of insects has essentially completed the occupation of this space that is far from large but not small either. At this point, the alien beasts have temporarily withdrawn from the war stage with the insect tribe, and the remaining The Zerg have been removed from the frontline command system by the Zerg, and their defeat is only a matter of time.

Although the magic civilization is more troublesome, it is mainly because Zero wants to obtain some magic-related technologies from them, so the insect swarm has been trying to establish an intelligence advantage while launching a frontal attack.

In general, even if the opponent possesses a magical magic circle, which can be said to be elusive and can always have miraculous effects on the battlefield, but after the insect swarm broke out of the initial defense circle in a large area and entered the physical universe, this one It's just another form of stubborn resistance.

Now that the alien beasts have been eliminated, the Zerg scientific research team is studying its teleportation array. Even if there is no longer large-scale hatching, a large amount of Zerg combat power has been freed up. As the scale of the war with magical civilization continues to expand, Facing such an offensive from the Zerg, no matter how magical the magic is, it will be difficult to turn decay into magical power.

The outcome has been decided, it's just a matter of time. Zero knows this very well, and so does the other side, but the war is still going on. As far as this universe is concerned, the enemy's background is not weak, not to mention that they have support from other universes.

It is indeed extremely difficult for technological civilization, especially the magic technology that the Zerg are not good at, to develop to such an extent.

Facing the Zerg, as long as the strength is finally achieved, even if the opponent is not inferior to the Zerg in terms of numbers, it will only be easily cut down in the end.

However, the technological civilization established by this intelligent race may be at a disadvantage on the battlefield, but it will always have many fantastic ideas. This has been proven countless times in the real universe.

But most of the time, such flexible thinking can only ensure the survival of their tribe, but cannot prevent the destruction of civilization.

Of course, wandering civilization can be regarded as retaining the fire and has the potential to develop again.

Zero will not comment on this. After all, there are countless ethnic groups in the real universe that have become wandering civilizations due to the invasion of Zerg.

The progress of the war between the insect swarm and the magical civilization does not depend on the resistance strength of this civilization that combines magic and technology in a sense. At least Zero estimated that if the insect swarm went all out, the number of people in this space would be The war should be over soon, but because the other party's information center was not intercepted, Zero wanted to expose more of the other party's methods.

But seriously speaking, although the Zerg are still analyzing this magical energy, after the breakthrough in psychic research, this kind of research is actually only used as a reference and assistance, and its importance is not that high.

What's more, the enemy's real core is obviously not here. Even if this war ends here, there will still be fights in the future. Zero will not give up investigating the invasion of the main universe just because the other party escaped. If possible, the swarm of insects will pursue it all the way to the end.

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

Mira has still not participated in several of the Zerg wars. After it established a magic research station on the Zerg continent, it has not taken any more actions.

Even in the war with the Zerg, when the battle line moved away from its base, there were gradually no mechanical fleets participating in the war.

Zero didn't care about this. At most, he was curious about what Mira was doing.

It is a good thing for the Zerg that it no longer participates in the war. After fully taking over the front line, the Zerg has no worries. These bugs are no longer worth mentioning. The Zerg can easily defeat them, and even the bugs themselves are fleeing instead of resisting.

It seems that the opponent is planning to fully shrink the front line. If they still have to resist in the end, there is a high probability that it will be another regional defense war that is not much different from the alien beasts. The Zerg have already experienced this kind of war, and it is not worth worrying about. , it’s just another battle that one is unwilling to lose.

Today, various researches on the Zerg have been carried out for decades. Coupled with the long-term substantive exchanges with the opponent on the battlefield, many originally obscure issues have gradually become clear.

The most intuitive manifestation is that there are more and more Zerg magic units on the battlefield, and their strength is getting higher and higher.

It is more like a huge experimental field than a battlefield. This magical civilization is the living material in this experimental field. The insect swarm uses its own losses to achieve its goals. Although it is a little slow, it is indeed effective.

But speaking of Mira, we have to talk about the recent visible changes in the opponent's mechanical base.

Magic modules are built in it, and the entire base exudes strong magic waves.

Obviously, Mira's research this time has gone through decades and has achieved considerable results. At least it has been able to apply magic on a large scale on the base. If it is not just imitation, the other party has at least analyzed part of the essence of magic energy. .

The Zerg are not yet able to achieve this, but they have some clues. In terms of pure research, Mira still has a certain advantage, but the Zerg is not slow either. It has already achieved many phased results. Of course, it is still unable to achieve something like this. Directly analyzing the essence of magic and transforming it, but above pure imitation, the Zerg also found its own path.

Seriously, this anti-invasion activity against three universes should be the biggest gain. As for the mining of magic ore, it is just the icing on the cake.

……………………………… In the previous space of alien beasts, the Zerg had already conducted an in-depth analysis of the alien beasts’ “teleportation array”. Preliminary judgment showed that it did not have the same characteristics as the alien beasts’ original invasion of the real universe. The dimensional channel is so profound, but it involves some special magical power. It is a little more troublesome to analyze, but what is certain is that this research will not take too much time.

Essentially, they are all channels, more or less connected. The research results of the Zerg and Mira in the dimensional channel back then brought a lot of inspiration this time.

On the Zerg Continent, Zero had roughly guessed the location where the Zerg invaded based on the direction of the enemy's retreat. To his surprise, there was not just one, but four!

The undead who occupied this continent back then were probably caught off guard by the insects coming from all directions. Otherwise, given the characteristics of the undead, they might not be able to fight and would not be driven into the real universe.

Today, the Zerg are following each other's old paths and driving them away in the direction of their original invasion.

This is like reincarnation. The Zerg are just another Zerg. The only difference is that the other party invaded the indigenous people back then, while the Zerg expelled the invaders!

The research on psychic energy in the new universe has already been on the right track, and many psychic insect species have been greatly strengthened as a result, especially the brain worms. With their powerful psychic abilities, they are no longer the fat bugs that could only barely squirm in the past. , coupled with the rich knowledge accumulated over a long period of time, it can be said to have equal emphasis on wisdom and strength. Of course, there is no change in appearance.

……

In Zerg 5016, 26 Cerebrates worked together, and with the blessing of the Hive Will, the Zerg swarm researched the teleportation array in the alien beast space at a rapid pace. The previous research on magic was also included in this research activity. I have helped a lot, and it is precisely because of the research foundation of hundreds of years that this time it can be so smooth. The insect swarm is just one step away from solving the problem of this teleportation array!

On the Zerg Continent, the Zerg also forced the Zerg into the four corners of this continent. They are said to be corners, but they are actually just four coordinates on this continent. They are not borders, but here There is indeed a border, and it is chaos.

Zero has a strong interest in this kind of chaos itself, but at the edge of the continent, it is almost an inaccessible "regular" land. Unlike the previous dimensional barriers or other space obstacles, he can feel that The place where the film seems to be right in front of you and yet so far away is simply "no entry".

If possible, Zero would really like to establish a research base station here for this kind of "rules", and I think Mira would also be very interested.

But for now, it seems that there is still no way to start, and the Zerg have more important things to do!

The connection method of the Zerg here is not clear yet, because as expected, the opponent launched a final desperate struggle with the Zerg swarm at these points.

It has to be said that it was a wise choice to shrink the front line after the combat power was slightly lacking. At least here, they relied on the relatively small space to fight back and forth with the attacking Zerg.

But Zero knows very well that this is just an illusion. Not to mention that the opponent has now lost almost the entire continent. There is no longer a thin but continuous supply of magic. Even if there is no loss, the opponent's individual units are bound to become weaker and weaker. , launching the final decisive battle here is actually just delaying time.

Things have developed to this point, Zero no longer has too much courtesy with the so-called technological magic civilization, and the insect swarm has begun the most violent attack. Even with the damage of a large number of mysterious magic arrays, and the insect swarms died as a result, To cause substantial damage to the opponent!

The so-called substantive killing is actually an attack on personnel and the destruction of important logistics facilities. At this point, the infiltration done by the Zerg for decades has played a big role. The most pervasive ones they like to target are those Macroscopic celestial bodies, and most of those celestial bodies have enemy development facilities.

In addition, there are no magic resources in this universe, so if the opponent wants to maintain the magic consumption of frontline combat units, there must be a hidden but real supply chain. Unfortunately, just two years before the swarm launched its general attack, The Zerg explorers have found them, at least they are part of the enemy's logistical magic supply chain!

Now, while the insect swarm launched a fierce attack in the front, the explorers in the rear also began to use their own power. Although they were often smaller in size due to the tight defense of the opponent, they experienced the last attack on the enemy. In the "iron-walled" offensive and defensive battle, the Zerg-like application of the "leftovers" of magic minerals discovered by the Zerg in the space of alien beasts has allowed the Zerg swarm to add the most advanced energy in the smallest space.

And at this moment, they played a huge role!

The attack on logistics was not immediately apparent on the front line, but shortly thereafter, the opponent began to slowly shrink the battlefield and retreat.

This must be a passive defensive measure, because at least now, on the frontal battlefield, they can still compete with the insect swarm.

Under the attack of the Zerg regardless of the cost and with endless means, few races can withstand such an all-round attack. The opponent can show such a level, which is enough to be called powerful.

But this doesn't change anything. When the opponent shrinks for the first time, the Zerg Swarm has completely secured victory. In these years, the Zerg Swarm is not just testing.

Zero also has a new method to deal with the opponent's mobility. The shortcoming of this technological civilization compared to the Zerg, apart from its absolute organization and fearless insect wave charge, is that they are extremely disturbed.

In these years of confrontation with each other, the insect swarm has gradually figured out the opponent's means of long-distance movement.

That is also a magic method, but the difference is that it is space magic!

The Zerg are very familiar with the concept of space. The space cannon back then was a strategic weapon for the Zerg to destroy one race after another, but now it has become a means to break through the opponent's mobility!

Especially in such a space that is similar to the real universe, all the rules are almost the same. The Zerg did not even spend much effort to complete the detailed analysis of this method!

The reason why it was not used in the previous small-scale confrontations was just for this moment!

The opponent's warship evacuated from the front line was strongly interfered by the Zerg at a certain moment and was forced to fall back into the universe!

And this was obviously a carefully prepared ambush, even the coordinates and location were completely calculated!

Swarms of bugs came from all directions, and the opponent's space magic was also interfered with by the swarm. Although the front was generally two hundred light years long, the bugs still accurately completed the segmentation and encirclement of the enemy!

There is no need to go into details about what happened next. Groups of insects charged forward risking their lives, and the enemy could no longer get more support from the rear.

Under this ebb and flow, the magic level of the enemy's entire fleet continues to weaken, and its destruction is only a matter of time.

At the rear, the enemy was obviously in a panic. They did not choose to stop their losses in time, but began to provide forced support at all costs in Zero's opinion!
