I Am the Swarm

With the continuous expansion of the swarm territory, more and more races came from the intelligent body, and Rowan's ability has also grown rapidly. More than 20 years ago, he made a long-distance jump of two meters of meat sac, but failed once, and if he was not lucky, the other time would have ended in failure with a high probability.

But now, jumping over a two-meter flesh sac is more than enough, and the five-meter flesh sac is also a one-time success. Being able to improve to this level is definitely not something that can be achieved only by proficiency in skills.

Another place that can reflect his growth is the increase in the number of anchor units that can be produced. In the early years, his limit was five. When he first joined the Star Sea Alliance, his limit was ten. Now, he can easily create nearly twenty anchor units.

Among these anchor units, Rowan has now sent away eight, of which the intelligent body going to the territory of the Ji clan brought one, and there is one on the Podi star, plus the six sent away this time.

But the number of anchor units is not too much. Once the swarm bases in other star fields develop, you don’t have to worry about the surveillance of the Ji Clan. You can create megastructures to detonate energy and use warp. At that time, there are not enough anchor units. use.

Fortunately, as long as the number of node units in the same area reaches a certain amount, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Even if they do not have anchor units, Rowan can still find them and link them.

For example, on the current Bodi star, the number of node units there is enough, and Luo Wen plans to send that node unit away after the development of the giant structure over there is completed.

In this way, the anchor unit arrives in the Nova Field, finds a place to develop, reaches the scale, and then is sent away. This cycle continues, even if there are only twenty anchor units, the swarm will gain a very fierce expansion speed in the future.

From this point of view, the territory on the origin star seems to be unimportant. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the opponent is pressing every step of the way, and it seems that they have entered the stage of closing the net, and they are about to try their best.

At this time, it seemed like a good choice for Luo Wen to give up the development of the site here and concentrate on expanding the "sub-mine". After all, time can defeat most enemies, and Rowan doesn't need to do anything to the Star Sea Alliance. Maybe a million years later, they will fall apart.

Even if a million years is not enough, what about tens of millions of years? As the "longevity species", Luo Wen can slowly "burn" them to death.

But Luo Wen is a nostalgic person, this is his origin, it is absolutely impossible to let him give up in vain, even if there is still a gap between the Zerg Swarm and the Ji Clan, and the Star Sea Alliance.

His mentality has not yet grown to that extremely high level, and he still wants to try it himself.

In fact, from the current point of view, there is no deep hatred between Luo Wen, the Ji clan, and the Star Sea Alliance. From another perspective, their conspiracy made Luo Wen not dare to slack off, and accelerated the development of the swarm.

But in the eyes of Luo Wen, who doesn't hold any grudges, being treated as a pawn is an offense in itself. Moreover, the end of the chess piece may not be so good, and this is enough to be a reason to do it.

Regardless of the reason, the swarm survived for another twenty years, the giant structure was destroyed, and the swarm evacuated. As the former base camp of the insect swarm, there are countless ancient-level and mighty ones, which seem to be connected in a straight line between the two star systems. Let all the peepers who are secretly harboring ill intentions towards the swarm tremble.

Six new seeds have been successfully sent to different star fields, except for the first seed, which is still floating in the void because of the lack of energy in the carrier. Of the five sent later, three have entered the nearest star system and landed on planets to develop.

Fortunately, the star systems where the three "sub-mines" are located have maintained their original ecology, and there is no sign of interference. And through preliminary observations, there are no competitors around the "sub-mine", at least in the nearby star systems, there is no sign of intelligent life. But for the specifics, we still need to wait for the development to develop and send a fleet to investigate on the spot.

The remaining two seeds are about to reach the target star system, but no matter what, Rowan has obtained at least three "back roads".

Having a "back road" means having confidence, so the activities on the side of the galaxy of origin have also been a little looser. Otherwise, with Rowan's character, the large number of Primordial grades in the Origin Star might have to recycle some of them to show weakness and buy more time for the swarm.

Once the twenty-year time limit passed, Edres, who had been waiting outside for a long time, led the engineering team, and entered the origin galaxy without waiting for a moment. Originally thought it was an engineering task to be completed in minutes, but it turned into a garrison task in the end. After such a long time, they had already held back their anger.

But they are not easy to get angry. After so many years, they have understood that this Zerg is definitely not those ordinary outer circle civilizations. This is the giant crocodile hidden here, and the terrifying quantity shown alone is enough to shake many civilizations in the outer circle and even the middle circle.

And this is just the strength of the opponent's star system.

Although their speed is still lacking, they are not enough for invasion and more than enough for self-preservation. Even if the combat units of the Zerg are used as fixed defense facilities, even if the Ji Clan wants to take them down, they must be prepared to pay some losses .

As for the ships led by Edres, he dared not say much. Thanks to the two rounds of hype of the Keya Alliance, the image of the Zerg Swarm in the outside world is defined as villains such as tyrants and colonists.

Edres was worried that if he treated other aliens like he did, and went to the Zerg to say more BB, he might be evaporated. Even if the Zerg is punished by then, he will be dead, so what's the point.

Due to the insufficient technological level of the Ratman civilization, there is no spaceship capable of fast long-distance voyages. Therefore, it is the insect swarm that is the invitation of the Ratman civilization to guide Edreth and the others.

Tens of thousands of Taikoo-class ships surrounded more than a dozen Ji clan ships. Even if the Ji clan ships were all giants with a length of more than 4,000 meters, they seemed a bit small and insignificant in front of such a dense Taikoo-class army.

As far as the receiving team is concerned, the scale of the swarm is also unique.

"These guys definitely did it on purpose!" A crew member of the Ji clan said indignantly. He had just been awakened not long ago, and he got up very angry.

"So what if it was intentional? Those ugly monsters outside are enough to tear us apart before we activate the warp drive." This is a Ji clan who disagrees with the aesthetics of the swarm or Rowan.

"Be patient, when we get to the place, we can just contact the Ratman directly."

"Captain, what shall we do next?"

"Act according to the original plan!"
