Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

In diplomacy between civilizations, strength is always the most important foundation for each other.

In the modern diplomatic history of the Federation, except when facing two equal civilizations, Federation diplomats basically dealt with all civilizations in the notification area with a overlooking attitude.

Not to mention, the person communicating with the Zerg this time was a military representative who was always known for his toughness.

If they are serious federal diplomats, although they are also unlikely to take the initiative to lower their posture, they will never say such explicit words. They will modify and beautify them, hiding their meaning in a series of diplomatic rhetoric , act like a polite gentleman, and tell all civilizations that "all living beings are equal."

But unfortunately, this time the federal "diplomat" was Wells.

The situation quickly became unfavorable, which made him very angry. He was riding a tiger and wanted to complete the mission entrusted to him by the entire civilization as soon as possible, but at the same time he did not want to bow to this inferior civilization, and finally achieved such a result.

Zero no longer paid any attention to the other party's intention. What about the Hero Federation and the Invincible Fleet? There were only three battleships here, and one of them didn't seem to have much attack power.

If his federation was really so powerful, why would he take the initiative to negotiate with the Zerg?

The Zerg swarm's offensive was gradually strengthening. This was a process of steady improvement in stages, and by the time Wells took the initiative to contact the Zerg, their frigates were almost approaching their limits.

But on another unknown battlefield, Mira is still resisting tenaciously, but the search mission that was originally following the clues has made no progress.

Maybe it will be discovered in the next moment, or maybe it will take more time. Mira knows what the other party wants to do, so she temporarily sets up a lot of disguises and misdirections. Although there is no way to really stop them, given the opponent's limited computing power, delaying time is enough!

Wells was already thinking of retreating. He had brought a group of senior federal scientific researchers here in person. It was important to protect the honor of the federation, but he, the lieutenant general, died here, in a conspiracy initiated by a lower civilization. During the attack, it was not a glorious thing for the Federation.

The same is true for the suggestions from the staff. The culture of the Federation is like this. When there is a possibility of achieving a goal, they will try their best to strive for it. In the process, they can often burst out with powerful motivation.

However, when hope is slim or no longer exists, giving up becomes a matter of course, and they are not ashamed of it. For the military, this cultural influence has been slightly diluted, but no matter what, no one will be too harsh on Wells if he retreats at this time.

After all, the situation is such that it is not a crime of war.

Looking at the insect swarm in front of him that completely blocked his field of vision, and then looking through the shared field of view at the large scientific research ship that was desperately sorting out Mira's "body" in the vast ocean of data, Wells gave up the last point in his heart to successfully complete the task. As he struggled with the mission, he knew that after the swarm improved its offensive units next time, the defense systems of his two frigates would soon be destroyed due to overload. At that time, the opponent's various weapons would directly bombard the battleships. Having lost their maximum protection, they have no chance of winning against the seemingly endless swarm of insects. If they cannot open the space jump channel in time, they may even be left behind!

After a long time, he gave the order to retreat with some dejection, which meant that this operation was a complete failure!

They failed to capture Mira, but instead alerted the enemy and made the other party aware of the federation's methods.

And all of this is because of the Zerg!

Wells no longer wanted to think about how the federation would handle this matter in the future and whether it would continue to carry out this mission. The overwhelming swarm of insects here made him feel a little depressed at this moment.

Under the continuous consumption of the insect swarm, the battleship has little energy left. He must get supplies as soon as possible. In order to complete the mission as much as possible before, the entire fleet now only has the energy to start a jump. Fortunately, Wells has already marked in advance that they will complete energy supply in another star system 6700 light-years away.

As for the organic matter needed for the crew's life, there is no shortage. The military supplies stored in the federal warship are enough for tens of thousands of soldiers and supporting personnel to survive for at least twenty years! As long as there is material and energy, ensuring the survival of personnel is not a problem at all.

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

Zero was aware of the other party's plan. Although he did not have as accurate an estimate of the situation as the other party, he still captured the other party's intention to escape.

However, the opponent's technological means are indeed far superior to those of the Zerg. Even if the Zerg swarm surrounding the opponent has tried their best to interfere with the warships starting their jump engines and opening the space channels, it will not help. In this regard, Wells is not exaggerating. When the energy is sufficient, Under the premise, the opponent does have the confidence that the Zerg cannot break.

And this technology of jumping directly in space is one of the difficulties that the Zerg are now eager to overcome. Therefore, solutions such as tracking are out of the question.

Although he was helpless, Zero could only use the "cannon fire" of the Zerg to send the other party away as a gift.

This war has no results.Including the protracted all-out war with Mira, the promotion of Zerg technology was quite limited, and some only consumed a large amount of resources.

The long war did not achieve the results it deserved, which made Zero a little annoyed, but it was quickly forgotten by him. The gap is the gap. If the Zerg can directly interfere with the opponent's entity, the three warships of the Federation will have become garbage floating in space waiting to be collected.

If it is an intelligent civilization at the same technological level as the Zerg, in this "war" where the opponent only defends but does not counterattack, it will never be able to push the enemy to this level. At least those endless combat units are not ordinary biological civilization. It can be obtained.

Of course, what really made Zero confirm that the other party seemed to have escaped instead of calmly evacuating after achieving the goal was the communication broadcast from Mira.

Obviously, in the previous sweeps, the swarm had destroyed countless mechanical battleships and basically completed the clearing of the entire galaxy battlefield, but at this moment, familiar signals were still "reverberating" throughout the galaxy.

That was the language used by Mira when she first communicated with the Zerg. It can also be regarded as the "ancient language" of the Hero Federation in a sense. It is very similar to the "dictionary" sent by Wells before, but it also has different.

And what it means is - thank you!

When he received this piece of information, Zero was at a loss for a moment. Since he woke up, for more than two thousand years, the Zerg have only brought expansion and killing. The expansion of the population has taken up everything in him. What he encountered along the way All civilizations that arrived have either become remnants in the history of the universe, or they have become vassals trapped by the Zerg who have only served the Zerg their whole lives.

No existence has ever expressed this kind of meaning when facing the insect swarm. They either hate it or fear it, and the insect swarm only brings plunder, destruction and killing.

For Zero, this feeling is quite new, or in other words, it has been a long time coming!

The Zerg are probably helpless to deal with Mira. Its technological line is not the direction that the Zerg swarm is going. Although they understand it, it cannot be said that they know nothing, but it is highly likely that it is impossible to defeat Mira in this regard. of.
