"Lieutenant Colonel Chris is here. Wait, who's that in front of him? Why is he walking in front of Lieutenant Colonel Chris? Which high-ranking officer in the base is that?"

Some of the new recruits were surprised to see Lieutenant Colonel Chris and the senior officer in front of him.

"A lieutenant colonel is already a very high-ranking officer in this base. I heard that there are several colonels and a major general above him. I wonder which one has come?"

Some of the new recruits also expressed their curiosity.

"This...this uniform is only worn by officers of general rank. The highest commander of this defensive military base has arrived. Quickly assemble and form ranks!"

A lieutenant quickly relayed the message.

So all the new recruits and officers began to assemble.

A little while later, all the new recruits participating in the military training, along with the officers in charge of the training, respectfully lined up in neat formations.

"This is the supreme commander of our Duna Star Zerg frontline defense military base—Major General Griffith Fred. He will personally present the awards to the top 10 in this recruit competition!"

Lieutenant Colonel Chris spoke loudly.

"Now, please invite the top 10 recruits from the new recruit competition to come up to the stage to receive their awards!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianyun and the other top ten recruits went on stage to receive their awards amidst the envious gazes of many other recruits.

At this moment, Major General Griffith Fred walked up with heavy steps.

The supreme commander of the Duna Star Zerg frontline defense military base, who held the rank of Major General in the Empire, was wearing a greenish-brown Major General's uniform.

This outfit is no ordinary garment, as it is made from the exoskeleton of a Zerg lord's corpse.

The Zerg Overlords are among the most powerful Zerg forces that invaded the Oron Empire, and are on par with Epic-level Battle Mechs in terms of combat strength.

As for the Zerg that are even more powerful than the Zerg Lords, they are the Zerg Generals. They are a completely different level of life from the Zerg Lords and are considered high-level Zerg among all the Zerg that invaded the Oron Empire.

I heard there's a Zerg general above him, and then a Zerg king. I don't know anything about the Zerg king and the next one. I learned all of this from the military knowledge course during my basic military skills training.

Of course, the creators of these Zerg hierarchy are said to be from a more advanced civilization, but the person who taught the course in that more advanced civilization said he didn't know the details; that was all he knew.

Having said all that, the Zerg levels that Mo Tianyun currently knows, from lowest to highest, are: Common Zerg, Elite Zerg, Leader Zerg, Zerg Lord, Zerg General, Zerg Commander, and Zerg King.

Among them, the life forms of Zerg below the Zerg General level and Zerg at the Zerg General level and above are completely different.

However, all Zerg have some things in common, such as the basic biological structure of the Zerg core and Zerg armor, and the fact that Zerg can evolve, all of which rely on consuming matter and energy.

Zerg life forms below the Zerg General level are diverse, and there are two evolutionary paths.

The first evolutionary path is through the consumption of matter, which primarily strengthens the Zerg's exoskeleton. Zergs following this evolutionary path are mainly powerful in close combat.

The second evolutionary path is energy-devouring evolution, whose main function is to absorb energy to upgrade the Zerg core. Zerg with this evolutionary path have powerful long-range combat capabilities and can release energy rays that are extremely fast and have extremely strong destructive power.

Zerg generals and above are incredibly powerful. Weak fighters of the same combat strength level are no match for them and can only flee. If they are caught, they will surely die!

Why are Zerg generals and higher-ranking Zerg so powerful?

Because Zerg generals and higher-level Zerg simultaneously consume matter and energy, they have no weaknesses in either melee or ranged combat.

You think that's all? That's all? That's all?

No, the power of Zerg generals and higher-level Zerg is far more than that!

Because the Zerg generals and higher-level Zerg are intelligent, and their intelligence is even greater than that of humans!

This means that they also possess technological civilization and are not just savage, aggressive beasts!

Therefore, Zerg generals and higher-level Zerg also have a third path: mental evolution.

Because of the third path of spiritual evolution, they also possess martial arts combat skills, and their martial arts combat skills are terrifyingly powerful!

If a combat mech pilot is a collective term for a person and a mech, then a Zerg general or higher-level Zerg is a creature that perfectly combines a human and a mech.

For these Zerg generals and higher-ranking Zerg, the Zerg exoskeleton is their armor, and the Zerg core is their energy source and true brain.

Although the intelligence of Zerg below the level of Zerg General is relatively low, it does not mean that their combat power is low. On the contrary, their numbers are millions of times larger than those of Zerg at the level of Zerg General and above!

This is because the lower-level Zerg reproduce extremely quickly; given enough energy and matter, their numbers can grow exponentially!

The Zerg have grown into the most terrifying race in the universe by devouring and evolving an endless stream of low-level Zerg. Thus, they began their terrifying ambition to conquer the entire universe!

In fact, Zerg generals and higher-ranking Zerg are extremely rare among all Zerg races.

Why is it that only a large number of low-level Zerg can evolve and give birth to a small number of Zerg generals?

Because Zerg generals and higher-level Zerg need to devour a large amount of matter and energy, and their mental strength must reach the "spiritual sea" level among humans, in order to give birth to a Zerg general.

When Mo Tianyun heard this detailed information about the Zerg, he was also very surprised, and he and the other new recruits were unable to recover for a long time!

Later, Mo Tianyun also heard about the history of the Oron Empire and what happened after the Zerg invasion.

Previously, the Oron Empire was also an indigenous civilization on a small planet that, under the leadership of those great scientific pioneers, carried out eight industrial revolutions and ventured beyond its star system.

Later, during their exploration of the universe, they experienced a scientific and technological explosion and went through several intergalactic wars. They learned about the existence of spiritual power, genetically evolved warriors, and mechs in the universe. Finally, they learned to combine technology with genetic evolution to create a powerful civilization where mechs and warriors were integrated.

They successfully eliminated the other civilizations in this galaxy, conquered the entire galaxy, and named it the Oron Galaxy.
