The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2105. The expansion of the Torgt swarm (Part 1)

The Torgt swarm is advancing, and countless bugs are pouring into the planet Cobb, which is one of the food nests of the Lesei tribe, one of the tribes of the Killik swarm.

The so-called food nest is something that all major groups under the Killik Swarm will do. They will capture some creatures from other planets and then throw them to these planets, allowing these creatures to reproduce on their own. Then they will come regularly to harvest and devour these creatures.

After Abathur discovered this habit of the Killik Swarm, he expressed his utmost disdain for it.

"Primitive breeding is inefficient and will only limit the number of groups. Kill them all, eat them all, digest them completely, and convert them all into biomass. Evolve, develop, reproduce, and continue to attack. This is the insect swarm." In Cobb's words Abathur said this among a fleet in orbit outside the planet.

This fleet can only be described as terrifying.

In fact, the main reason for horror is the appearance. Because these spacecraft were originally dilapidated, but those dilapidated places were all filled with terrifying biological matter. Those biological substances are like tumors, filled with intestinal-like lumens and accumulated cuticles, and are still moving.

This makes these spaceships look like a group of terrifying monsters, which makes people shudder.

But in fact, they were all nearly scrapped spaceships obtained from planets such as Krustel that had been destroyed in previous wars with the Grisk Hegemony. Not to mention robbing such a spaceship, even if it sails to a planet with a few patrol warships, the only outcome will be the destruction of the entire army.

These spacecraft cannot even withstand the impact of directly entering the planet's atmosphere, and can only use the most primitive way to land - orbital airdrop.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the kind of majestic and domineering orbital drop cabin, but the kind of container made of heat-resistant materials and filled with bugs. If I want to be more straightforward, this kind of container is generally used by industrial companies to dump garbage on the garbage planet.

Yeah, that's right, it's the trash can.

"Our Kilik insect swarm has long lost the sharpness and domineering power it had a hundred thousand years ago. The groups are constantly degenerating and becoming weaker and weaker. Some groups have even degenerated to the point where they can only survive by eating the gum secreted from trees. At this point, it can only be regarded as an insect," said Togt's nest.

Now the power of the Torgt tribe is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of the entire tribe has exceeded 2 billion. Therefore, the IQ of the Torgt nest is also getting higher and higher. From the beginning, it was almost just instinct, and now it can be normal. Had a conversation.

Now it is on the largest and most complete cargo ship. This cargo ship is a Predator-class heavy cargo ship used by the Trade Federation in the past. It can only be said that their business went too far during the peak period of the Trade Federation, because this Predator-class cargo ship was found in Chisland!

There was originally a huge conference room behind the cargo ship's bridge. Now this conference room has been completely filled with the body of Toggett's brood. It is full of channels that transport nutrients, brain tissue responsible for thinking, and responsible for pronunciation. vibrating organ.

As for Abathur, he lives directly in the Brood.

"Build food nests so that the insect swarms would have a stable source of food so that they would not over-expand and consume all the food and then perish. This is the only way for our degenerate tribe to survive. We have no way to defeat those with warships. The race can only survive in this way," Toggart said, "Sir Tang Xiao has provided a path for our race to evolve, and I will always be loyal."

"Chisling's evaluation of the Kilik swarm is that it is not aggressive, safe, harmless, keep your distance, and ignore it. It is a shameful evaluation of the Kilik swarm." Abathur said lightly.

"Destroy the Les race and get their essence, and we will become stronger." The Togt hive squirmed its body, and its vocal organs continued to vibrate and make sounds. "Then, we will have the strength to attack the base. Leake's core lair to get more evolutionary essence."

"Replenish the incomplete genes and seize more essence. The Les tribe, the new venom formula, high-pressure gland structure, and dense muscle groups can be supplemented." Abathur said, his sharp claws on the several bugs in front of him. Keep cutting, searching and studying the secrets in this body.

I only saw these few bugs. Many of them had a huge spherical body covered with dense muscles, and there was a cavity in the front. It looked like a bloated cannon. Four of them were not counted. Strong legs support the structure.

"Rough use, redundant structure, meaningless patchwork." Abathur criticized these bugs as worthless.

But having said that, on the ground of Cobb's planet, hundreds of millions of Torgt swarms are launching an attack!

Countless containers fell from the sky! Many of them had been burned and disintegrated in mid-air, with a large amount of fleshy tissue scattered everywhere, and even more insects falling down. Some bugs fell to death on the spot, but there were many more bugs that jumped up and rushed towards their targets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!! Many containers still fell to the ground. The boxes of the containers were broken apart by the impact, revealing a layer of flesh inside, which was used for buffering and heat insulation. Countless insects rushed out from inside, and their sharp claws tore the flesh directly into pieces, and even the metal container shell was not spared. After tearing all obstacles apart, these insects screamed and rushed over.

In the distance, there were also a large number of insect swarms waiting in full battle array, protecting their core mother nest.

There were also a large number of insect swarms coming from other parts of the planet. These insects are bound to tear the invading Toget tribe to pieces!

Now the insects of the Toget tribe have also changed greatly from before. There are mainly three types of insects participating in the attack. One is smaller, with well-developed hind legs that can bounce, and huge and sharp claws on its mouth, which can even tear metal apart.

Another type of insect is huge, at least three meters tall, covered with thick cuticles, and the front pair of forelimbs are two huge sickles!

There is another type of insect that is about 1.5 meters tall. In addition to its sharp front claws, it also has a slender mouthpart that continuously sprays out flammable concentrated liquid. After rubbing against the air, it immediately burns and the flames are sprayed more than 20 meters away.

The terrible Toget insect swarm rushed forward without any pause.

But what came towards them was a large amount of venom like raindrops! This venom carries a strong kinetic energy and is sprayed two kilometers away!
