I Am the Swarm

After all, the Riken galaxy is the main battlefield of the Riken tribe. In the past few decades, a lot of detection devices have been deployed in the galaxy. Even if they are defeated and retreat, these detection devices cannot be cleaned up in a short time.

In addition, the actions of the swarm were not concealed, and the Rikens were well aware of the movement of the swarm's reinforcements.

In the second battle to defend Star Lazer, the Primordial Swarm of Zerg didn't lose much. If their team continues to expand, the odds of winning for the Rikens will become lower and lower.

The Riken tribe also understood this, but they didn't have a good way to deal with it. The three major fleets suffered heavy losses in the second battle to defend Lazer Star. Not to mention 20% were directly destroyed, and the rest had to be overhauled.

There are less than a thousand warships that can be deployed in a short period of time, even if the new ships that have just been built and joined the sequence are added.

Although this number of warships is capable of intercepting the follow-up support troops of the swarm, the danger is too great and the cost performance is too low.

Because the Rickens wanted to attack and intercept the reinforcements of the swarm, they had to cross Lazer Planet, but the swarm had already occupied it, and there were still thousands of ancient guards there.

At the same time, the support troops of the swarm do not act alone, but act in groups after reaching a certain number. If the intercepting troops of the Rickon tribe were entangled, they could easily be intercepted by the swarm troops of Star Lazer.

When the time comes to attack from both sides, maybe all the troops will stay there. And this is something the Liken tribe can't afford. If a thousand battleships are lost, the Ken tribe there might as well just surrender.

However, it was impossible to intercept the backup troops of the swarm. As the swarm army grew stronger, the probability that the Rickens could resist this army was also decreasing day by day, approaching a slow death.

But now the Liken people seem to have a feeling that they are drunk now, and they don't care so much anymore.

The discovery of the power of the chess spectators made the swarm of insects feel a little bit more aggressive in his heart.

After a part of the follow-up support was gathered, apart from leaving 5,000 Taikoo-class guards on Lazer Planet and more than 2,000 Taikoo-class troops lying in space to recover, the swarm gathered more than 8,000 Taikoo-class troops and headed deep into the Riken galaxy. everywhere.

The eighth planet in the Lazer galaxy is a small geological planet. It is only one-tenth the size of the Lazer star, and it is too small to even have a satellite.

This means that the scale of its planetary defense system will not be too large. In addition, there is a Lazer star defense system in the front and a civil and military double star defense circle in the back. Therefore, the Rikens have not built defenses except for some observation devices. system.

When the swarm troops passed by planet No. 8, they left two hundred Taikoo-class here. They and the larvae they carried will plant the creeper, and some electromagnetic guns will also develop in the later stage.

Although the No. 8 planet is not big, it is still much larger than the Taikoo class. The electromagnetic guns arranged on it can grow to a larger size, and may provide some long-range support at critical moments.

The seventh planet of Lazer Star, named Izumo Star, is similar to the A7 planet of the origin galaxy. It is a huge gaseous planet, and it also has a lot of satellites, as many as nineteen.

Whether civilizations take the mechanical route or the biological route, their theories are understandable. Although the Rickens cannot lie directly on the orbit of a gaseous planet like the swarm, they can absorb the radiation emitted by them to grow. But the corresponding energy conversion is not complicated.

The Riken tribe has built a large number of related facilities on many satellites of the Izumo star, and it is the main production place of the Riken tribe's energy storage devices.

The movements of the swarm troop had been monitored by the Rickens. Such a large-scale march could not be hidden under the gravitational wave detection radar.

The swarm did not cover up, and it was obvious that the next target was Izumo. Intense discussions erupted within the Liken tribe.

"We must defend Izumo!" said a staff officer.

"Heh, what to defend? The number of warships we can dispatch is only about a thousand, but there are 8,000 500-meter-level octopus monsters on the opposite side. How do we fight?"

"Didn't we deploy a lot of defense systems on Izumo?"

"Because Izumo itself is a gaseous planet, it cannot deploy a defense system, and out of its nineteen satellites, only eleven are suitable for the deployment of a defense system. In addition, Izumo itself is very large, and eleven satellites orbit The orbits are different, and it is difficult to shoot enemies in a certain direction at the same time, and it is difficult to form crossfire, so their construction priority is not high." A staff officer patiently explained: "We had to build the Lazer star defense system at the same time. , Civil and military dual-star defense system and parent star defense system are already unable to undertake the next-level construction projects, so our defense system on Izumo is not strong."

After many Rikens were silent for a moment, a general Riken said, "If Izumo is lost, our energy costs will increase by at least 50%."

The energy produced by the Izumo star resource system is safe, convenient, and low-cost. It mainly supplies the main fleet and major defense systems. If it is lost here, they can only obtain energy supply from the home planet and the colonies. Leaving aside production costs, transportation alone is a very troublesome matter.

"No way, although Izumo is very important, our deployment there is not enough to resist the attack of the Zerg. Even if the three major fleets are still full, it will not help."

"That's right, the Zerg army has fallen, and it's too late to build a cloud star now, not to mention that we must concentrate our resources and give priority to the civil and military dual-star defense circle, where the Zerg will be blocked." Khamis said, As a senior commander who has fought against the Zerg, he is well aware of the horror of the Zerg. He doesn't have the idea of ​​wiping out the Zerg army at all now, he just expects to rely on strong crossfire to stop the Zerg.

In fact, I don’t know how many meetings of this kind have been held during this period. At the beginning, there were many Rickons who supported fighting the Zerg on Izumo, but after careful analysis, they felt that this was completely meaningless.

Let's not talk about whether those defense facilities can be built, because the only ones that can build defense bases are satellites, and their mineral reserves cannot be compared with geological planets. There is no way to use local materials like Lazer Star, and the construction cost is very high.

It's just that they still haven't been able to confirm how the Zerg infiltrated Star Lazer. Those gene mutation transformations are just guesses at the moment, so the best way to resist Zerg infiltration is to make them impossible to approach at all, and rely on dense firepower to destroy all objects that approach.

Whether it is those octopus monsters or meteorites, they will not let go.

However, in the environment of Izumo Star, it is obviously impossible to build this kind of defense system. As long as the Zergs are allowed to approach, I am afraid that those hateful purple-gray patches will soon cover it.
