I Am the Swarm

At the other end of the battle line, another race that the Zerg Swarm had intercepted, the Sanjae. After they were besieged by the swarm, the tactics they chose were quite different from those of the Yuntu tribe.

They did not choose to attack the Zerg encirclement, but chose to defend and wait for reinforcements. After all, there were four reinforcements in their direction, while the Yuntu clan only had three.

But no matter which side it is, it will take about a year for the First Support Army to arrive. And during this year, the Zerg's reinforcements also continued to flow.

The multiplied swarm troops continuously squeezed the encirclement, compressing their pull space. Finally, the appearance of the Huang-class mothership became the last straw that crushed them.

Compared with the Yuntu tribe, the commander of the Sangqie tribe was more indecisive. He did not make timely and correct responses and allowed the situation to continue to deteriorate.

The Taikoo class that broke into the fleet wantonly destroyed, adults and larvae roamed among the battleships, took advantage of the opening of the battleship hatch, rushed into the ship, and let the Sangqi clan understand what is called channel invincibility.

There are more and more Taikoo-class close-in, and under the continuous snowball, a chain reaction is caused, the defense system collapses, and a large group of Zerg troops rush forward.

A wanton destruction...

At the end of the battle, the warships of the Sanqi tribe kept squeezing towards the middle, even causing large-scale collision accidents. Without the swarm's action, they would lose troops and lose their generals.

Until the arrival of reinforcements from the Star Sea Alliance, the Sanqi clan originally had a huge fleet of 60 million warships, but there were only less than 10 million warships left, and they were still struggling.

And while the reinforcements were still bargaining with the Alliance and the Sanche, the swarm retreated inexplicably. At this time, the Sanche fleet only had more than 5 million warships left.

Moreover, this remnant soldier was also directly placed under house arrest and surveillance, and after a series of measures, was sent away for inspection. Because the front line has no support from their fellow clansmen, their treatment is many times more miserable than those of the Yuntu clan who are in the same situation.

As for the swarm troops in two directions, plus some support troops on the road, the swarm recalled a total of about 800 million Taikoo-class troops.

And as long as these Archaic grades lie down for a period of time on the base in the near orbit of the star, their combat effectiveness will at least be multiplied several times. If the swarm troops that intercepted the Yuntu and Sangqi tribes were composed of the new version of the ancient class, then this battle should have been wiped out long ago, and it didn't need to take so long.

The simplest comparison, the original main gun salvo can only destroy more than a thousand warships in one round, and the current dark energy main gun, if placed in the environment at that time, a round of salvo can destroy at least tens of thousands of warships . Long-range shooting will surpass melee combat and become the main attack method of the swarm again.

However, the next period of time will be a period of weakness for the swarm. Because the most important dark energy furnace is evolved from the original atomic furnace. Therefore, during this period, not only the dark energy furnace cannot function because it has not yet developed, but even the atomic furnace cannot be used because its structure is destroyed.

If the alliance army attacks the Zerg during this period, the number of Zerg units that can enter the battlefield is estimated to be only 20% of the heyday. Fortunately, under the bluff and the secret guidance of their own people, the alliance army chose a safe battle plan, wasting this wave of Taiming in vain.

Time came to the sixty-fourth year of the new era, and several middle circle civilizations, such as the Ketuo tribe and the Tiya tribe, had been stationed in the void for nearly a year.

During this period of time, they waited for the remaining reinforcements. There were a total of seven civilizations in the middle circle, and they gathered at two assembly points. The total force is close to 400 million.

The 400 million high-level battleships, according to the parameters of the previous swarm combat units, can fight at least 2 billion swarm troops. Even if they are divided into two, they can definitely contend with more than 1.5 billion bug swarm troops.

During this period of waiting, the Star Sea Alliance put a large number of scout ships and instruments into this battlefield, not only making up for the parts that had been cleaned up by the bug swarm before, but even strengthening it a lot.

With the help of these ships' instruments, the alliance has vowed to guarantee that the warp speed navigation channel has returned to normal, and the situation of being ambushed by the Zerg before will never occur. And even if they are harassed by a small number of Zerg, they will be discovered immediately and an early warning will be issued.

And according to their observations, the recalled Zerg troops did not delay on the way, but returned directly to the star system in the Zerg-occupied area. There was no conspiracy in the sudden return before. According to the observed scene analysis, those troops were suspected to be exhausted of energy, so they had to return to the star system to replenish energy.

Therefore, the alliance requires the seven civilizations to continue to press into the Zerg territory in two ways, and to ensure that follow-up reinforcements will continue to come.

But the seven civilizations at the forefront also have their own worries. The swarms could set up traps like that in the middle of the battlefield before, so in their own territory, they don't know what big battle is waiting for them.

So they asked to join forces in one place, concentrate superior forces, lay down a forward position first, and then nibble away at the surroundings step by step.

However, this request was quickly rejected, and the two assembly points were located at the two ends of the entire battle line, with a distance of nearly forty light years between them. Even if warp speed navigation is enabled, it will take nearly ten years to join forces. Moreover, the channel is located in the center of the battlefield, and if the interference of the insect swarm is added during the period, it will take up to fifteen years to join forces.

You must know that the closest place between the Alliance Territory and the Swarm Territory is only two star systems facing each other, less than five light-years apart. And the garrison points of the seven civilizations are less than three light-years away from the nearest own base. As long as they have a slightly normal mind, they will not agree to their request.

For the alliance's rejection, the seven civilizations had already expected it. Facing the constant pressure from the Star Sea Alliance, their clan soon couldn't hold on, and sent them a letter to raise troops.

The energy system began to operate at a high load, the propulsion engine warmed up and started, and the stream of particles ejected continued to thicken and lengthen. They cannot disobey orders, but they can use appropriate methods to avoid risks.

Concerned about warp traps, the seven civilizations decide to use sublight engines to travel to swarm territory. This makes the voyage time that originally only took a few months stretched to more than four years, but this can guarantee the fleet formation and respond to various emergencies more flexibly.

Regarding the decision of the seven civilizations, the Star Sea Alliance only verbally raised a little objection, and did not pursue it further. This battle against the swarm is bound to be a protracted battle, and if it is delayed for a few years, the impact will not be great. And this can also make the follow-up reinforcements more closely connected and prevent the war from being out of touch.

As for whether these decisions were affected by the participation of the Zerg Swarm's own people, only the Zerg Swarm knew.
