I Am the Swarm

Because of the shackles under conventional power, even if the speed of the insect swarm was faster, it was not much faster than the Ketuo tribe. It was almost impossible for the swarm to catch up to the Keto after hours had passed. Even if you chase them, you won't gain too much. A large-scale pursuit is not worth the loss.

Therefore, after the dead space disappeared, the swarm only sent a small number of troops to pursue it, while the large army returned to the star system to continue basking in the sun.

The chasing swarm troop has a slightly different style. After discovering some limitations of the space octopus, Rowan decided to develop some more targeted units. And the bug that was in charge of chasing this time was one of them.

If the ancient class is a space octopus, these troops are space squid. Their main body is larger and more slender, and their arms and legs are shorter. The specially optimized propulsion system allows them to travel faster under normal navigation.

The small frontal area makes it difficult for them to be hit by weapons. On their pointed heads is a specialized metal that is very sharp and strong.

They are not equipped with any weapon system. In Rowan's mind, they are a kind of impact weapon, like a sharp blade, cutting through the enemy's hull.

In the last war with the Yuntu tribe, although the space octopus was powerful in melee combat, it was easily restrained by the all-in-one fight. And this space squid is a supplement to the melee position. They are faster, more destructive to the point, and faster. More importantly, because many functions are discarded, their cost is lower and their growth speed is faster.

However, although these space squids are fast, their starting time is several hours behind other competitors. If the track is long, catching them is no problem.

But in fact, the length of the track is limited, and as long as the Koto racers leave a certain position, they will leave at a warp speed. No matter how slow the warp speed sailing is, it is much faster than the fastest conventional sailing.

Therefore, the first battle of the space squids was not ideal. Before they had time to show their heroism, the prey had already run away.

The Ketuo tribe commander's excellent response minimized the casualties of his own troops. After retreating to the front line, he received numerous awards and praises, and it was very glorious for a while.

However, the heat of everything will be cooled by time. Since the withdrawal of the coalition forces, the Star Sea Alliance and the Zerg Swarm have returned to the peaceful period of confrontation. The coalition troops continued to gather at the frontline positions 1.5 light years outside the Zerg Swarm star system, but the Zerg Swarm did not respond much to this except for some sporadic harassment.

"It's not right, the Zerg is too calm."

"I also have this feeling. Judging from past performances, the Zerg is an extremely aggressive, territorial, and extremely xenophobic race. How can they endure the enemy's large number of troops stationed at the door? It's unscientific."

"Perhaps they have given up because they knew they were helpless. Judging from the latest information, most of their troops are still lying in the orbit of the stars. Aren't they afraid that we will suddenly attack?"

"It's true that the Zerg seems unmotivated. This is not the Zerg I know."

"Maybe they're holding back their big moves."

"There is this possibility. Since their technology comes from a certain advanced civilization, we can't take it lightly. Who knows what the Zerg will come up with. Maybe their calmness is only because they are sure enough to defeat us."

"I don't agree with this statement." Suddenly a voice interjected into the discussion. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a star figure in the frontier, Mowei from the Lashudia tribe.

Seeing that other people's attention was attracted to him, Mo Wei smiled slightly, and after a graceful salute, he continued: "I have carefully analyzed the Zerg, and if I am sure, they will not fight against the alliance at all. Stop the offensive, just like you did against the Locke Mutual Aid and the Keya League before."

"Maybe it's because we are stronger now and have more numbers!" A foreigner retorted unconvinced.

Mo Wei shook his head: "It has nothing to do with these things. If the Zerg are sure, they will not stop. On the contrary, since they stopped, it means that the Zerg is not sure of winning this war. And we are already around their territory, adding With countless surveillance ships and equipment, the Zerg want to do or hide something behind our backs, the difficulty is far beyond your imagination."

"The Zerg has given up?"

"How is it possible?" Mo Wei sneered.

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

Mo Wei stroked his chin, thought carefully and said, "Who knows~"

"you!"

"Haha, just kidding, I really don't know. Go ahead, everyone, let's take a step first." After speaking, Mo Wei quickly disappeared.

"Damn it! Why are there people with this personality in this level of conversation!?"

"Don't be angry, the Lashudia tribe has such a virtue, everyone is crazy, just stay away from it in the future."

"Hush, be careful." Although the Lashudia people have a bad personality, their strength lies there, and because of their personality flaws, they are more likely to go to extremes. Maybe because of some trivial things that others don't like, they It's about to go online. Those inner-circle civilizations are naturally not afraid, but they, the small forces in the middle and outer circles, should not provoke these troubles.

At the same time, in another unknown place, a mysterious meeting was also held, and this issue was actually discussed.

"I didn't expect the Zerg to hide so deeply. No wonder we tried every means to let them exchange Ji Clan points to enhance technology. They were not moved. It turns out that they have their own foundation."

"Yeah, when the war started suddenly, I was shocked. I thought the plan had failed. I didn't expect the Zerg to be so strong."

"The development of things is better than we expected. If they didn't hide it and want to rely on Ji clan points to reach the current level, I don't know how long it will take. Even if we help secretly."

"Maybe this is not a good thing. What the Zerg has hidden has attracted the attention of too many guys. Besides, I don't believe you are not tempted. You deliberately didn't mention this matter, do you have your own plans?"

"Hmph, there is only one copy of the item. It is not good for our relationship to mention it without knowing whether it can be shared."

"I think avoidance will really hinder our cooperation. If you want to achieve the original goal, you might as well be honest."

"Actually, this does not conflict with our goal. It may also speed up the entry of the Ji clan and promote the plan. Let's make a gentleman's agreement. Everything is based on the plan, and the goal must be achieved first."

"What about the hiding of the Zerg?"

"Prevent the Ji family from obtaining it. After the goal is achieved, if it can be shared, share it. If not, it can be discussed."

"Agreed, we can't mess ourselves up because of something unwarranted."

"All right."
