I Am the Swarm

Although the Zerg has a short history in dealing with minefields, they are quite experienced. Starting from the earliest Riken civilization, along the way, the enemies of the Zerg always choose to lay minefields to resist the approach of the insect sea in various battles.

After having the weapon parameters provided by the Inner Circle Alliance, the Zerg knew what to do when they started. Numerous space octopus larvae swayed towards the minefield ahead. Their body lengths were all less than ten meters long, and they were relatively small among the larvae.

Although the sensors of the Ji clan's weapons are very sensitive, these things are prepared for those big guys over a thousand meters long. If they are used to blow up these little guys, it seems a little bit worth the candle.

Taking advantage of this, the larvae continued to go deeper, releasing space version scouting flying insects and spider fighting insects along the way. As they spread over a large area, even Ji clan weapons with a good stealth system were found one by one out.

At this time, the Ji clan will face a choice, because although these weapons are triggered, they can also be detonated by remote control. In fact, the Ji Clan didn't have much choice, because if they didn't detonate these weapons, they would be destroyed by the Zerg's spider war worms.

Fortunately, the cost of these things is not expensive, and with the Ji clan's industrial system, mass production is not troublesome. When they noticed the alliance's offensive route, the Ji clan filled an area several light years in advance with these weapons. And even at this time, they are not idle, but continue to expand this range.

With the help of artificial intelligence, the Ji clan's control over timing is unrivaled. They can always detonate the weapon in the last seconds before it is about to be destroyed. As a result, the alliance's speed of clearing minefields has been greatly delayed.

"What is the Ji family thinking?"

"They don't seem to want to fight and are stalling for time."

"No matter what the Ji family wants to do, we must stop it. Since they want to delay time, then we will speed up."

"But this requires the cooperation of the Zerg..."

"The Zerg and Ji races have great hatred, and they will not refuse, just like before."

There are two ways to accelerate through minefields. One is to use covering artillery fire to clear a path. However, whether it is the Zerg or the inner circle alliance, the main cannons used are mainly energy shells. This kind of shells have good penetration and can cause explosions in a small area, but they want to complete a large-scale attack in space. The scope of coverage strikes, but it is a bit weak. Not only is it a waste of time, but it is also easy to miss something.

Another way is to use combat units to go over there. Naturally, it is impossible to use the main battleships of the inner circle alliance to do this kind of rough work. Then the Zerg units, which are used as cannon fodder, become the best choice.

But after all, the Inner Circle Alliance and the Zerg are just allies. Although there has been no unpleasantness between the two sides so far, it is really not easy to talk about this kind of obvious death.

However, the inner circle alliance has a population of trillions, and it is easy to find a few thick-skinned, or even shameless. Therefore, the Zerg still received a request from the Inner Circle Alliance.

Luo Wen had already guessed what the Ji clan, or "Ying" was doing, but it was inconvenient to share this information with his allies in detail. As for the enthusiasm of the allies, this kind of thing that can cause "Ying" some troubles, Luo Wen still supports it.

The Zerg was unexpectedly easy to talk, which made everyone in the inner alliance ecstatic. At the same time, they secretly warned themselves that they were not 100% sure in the future, so they must not provoke the female Zerg Queen.

In their opinion, they far underestimated the Zerg's hatred for the Ji Clan, and this "irrational" behavior all came from the Zerg Queen.

Not long after, the Zerg dispatched a large number of Taikoo-class weapons into the minefield, regardless of attrition. However, because the Ji clan could remotely adjust the sensitivity of these weapons, and even directly disable the triggering explosion function, this new tactic was not very successful.

The Zerg army still had to find those invisible Ji clan weapons from nothingness to detonate them. Even with the addition of the ancient class, it only speeded up a little bit.

If you want to continue to speed up, the Zerg must increase the number of Zerg troops per unit area. But such a loss, not to mention the Zerg, even the inner circle alliance, couldn't accept it. After all, the Zerg troops were exhausted here, so in a real fight, they would not have an advantage over the Ji clan in terms of quality or quantity.

Finally, considering various considerations, the alliance discussed a new solution. That is, the Zerg troops carry out demining from near to far. The alliance warships, together with the Zerg's long-range turrets, carried out cover strikes in the distance, clearing mines from far to near.

With such a combination of the two, the speed of mine clearance is indeed much faster. But on the side of the inner circle alliance, there is no joy, because the Ji clan sent an unknown number of special spaceships to lay out new minefields, transport ships for transporting weapons and supplies here, and even connect them behind them. became a line.

The speed at which the Ji clan laid minefields far exceeded the speed at which the anti-season clan alliance cleared the minefields. Although the Ji clan uses this method to avoid wars, which has the disadvantage of continuously compressing their own depth, but as the actual ruler of this star field for millions of years, the Ji clan still has hundreds of thousands of people, even if it does not increase the local area too much. The extent of the star system.

If they choose to play this way, at the current speed of the anti-seasonal alliance, then dragging it down for hundreds of thousands of years will only lose the range of a dozen star systems, which is nothing at all.

"It can't go on like this."

"That's right, I have an ominous premonition, the more the Ji clan is like this, the more serious this feeling will be."

"Me too."

"But we don't have a very good way to curb their behavior."

"Damn it, if the Ji clan only has the current territory, as long as we firmly implement the current strategy, then there will always be no way for them to retreat. Even before that, they will lose this war due to exhaustion of resources. The victory. Even if we spend a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, we will not hesitate. But now they have nearly a thousand star gates overseas to provide their homeland with a steady stream of weapons, equipment and resources. There is no fear of the current consumption at all.”

"Therefore, our tactics must be changed. On the basis of continuing to maintain the status quo on the front line, we must also open up overseas battlefields. If the number of personnel is limited to our troops, then we will recruit those who are civilized in the middle circle or even the civilization in the outer circle. , anyway, in the current situation where the Ji clan can't retreat, they can't disobey our orders."
