Chapter 831, War of Insects and Beasts
The opinions raised by Siepleiger's subordinates make sense.
But the Inquisitor did not listen.
There are two main reasons:
First, this is just a conjecture. They have not yet carried out similar actions on a large scale, and there is no empirical evidence. The conjecture is only based on logical inference and may not come true. There is still a possibility that the two sides will fight to the death, but in the end no one will benefit, and the human army, which has recovered its breath, will wipe them out in one go.
Secondly, the current situation is too critical. If it is not dealt with, the three or four star regions around Omgeria will all face the impact of the huge green tide. The waaagh energy gathered by those greenskins at this scale is already very exaggerated, which can completely guide their huge fleet as a beacon to sail between the stars.
When the green-skinned orcs' advantage in interstellar travel is far greater than that of humans affected by the scarlet scars, they will be even more unstoppable.
In order to solve the current problem, there is no choice but to lure the Void Zerg over.
Even if this bomb really gets bigger and bigger in the future and eventually explodes, we can’t take care of that.
If you are going to die now, why should you care about the future?
Under the guidance of such thoughts, Siflag still carried out his actions.
To some extent, he is quite capable.
At least, he was successful in luring the Void Zerg to come.
A fleet of Hive tentacles actually arrived on Omgeria four years after he spread the infection to several worlds.
And those human worlds where he spread the infection were not even the only ones used as lures.
Humans can be infected by parasites, so why can't greenskins be infected by parasites?
Actually, it will.
It is said that orcs are giant mushrooms that reproduce asexually, so it is hard to imagine that the infection among orcs can last for more than two generations. Moreover, there is no privacy in orc society. If someone's mushrooms look weird, they will be directly dug up.
Infiltrating the orcs is a cosmic problem.
But despite this, infections can occur.
The infected orc parasites have six limbs, purple skin, are extremely strong and ugly. Although their efficiency in spreading infection is significantly lower than that of continuing infection among humans, they also have different advantages - among humans, once a parasite is discovered, it is completely unacceptable to the entire race and must be dealt with. But it is different in the orc society. Those orcs who have grown up through infection can often make a name for themselves in the tribe with their strong individual strength.
If you are fierce enough, strong enough, and good at fighting, then you are waagh enough, and the orcs can accept it.
However, the only problem is that the more the real orcs fight and win, the stronger and bigger they will become. This is a positive cycle. However, although the orc infected have stronger natural qualities, they are not as good at "killing monsters and leveling up". Their strength is basically fixed and will not be enhanced by the waaagh force field.
This means that orc parasites can exist in the orc society, but it is difficult for them to rise to high positions. Coupled with the low efficiency of orcs being infected, the situation faced by orcs is less severe.
But the problem is that these orc infected are also infected. They can collude with the infected among humans and act together.
As for the human side, Siflag and his subordinates also observed this. Although the human side was at an absolute disadvantage in the three-way melee, they could take some actions to create some "opportunities" as much as possible.
Coupled with their secret method of 'accelerated ripening' of infection, these worlds quickly became extremely attractive to the Zerg fleet, and indeed attracted the Devourer of Universes.
The meeting between the Cancer of the Universe and the Devourer of the Universe has arrived.
In the past, researchers from the human empire had actually observed wars between the Zerg and other aliens.
After all, the Void Zerg are devourers, they eat everything, not just humans. If they encounter other aliens, they will definitely fight.
This also includes green-skinned orcs.
However, I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t enough observation samples, and some things happening outside the borders of the human empire are not seen, or it’s because they have never been encountered before... In short, there is no observation sample of the confrontation between these two types of aliens that is larger than that in Ohmgeria.
In some past observation records, when the two of them met each other, it was often a desperate battle with neither giving in, and then it ended with one side quickly winning and achieving the greatest results.
But it is different in Omgeria.
After devouring the first few planets, the Zerg got a taste of the sweetness and recognized that the green-skinned orcs were still quite delicious food.
Although it was not easy to fight, many foods in this universe were difficult to hunt, so the orcs did not encounter many accidents.
Although their taste is average, the advantage is that the portion is large and filling.
So, the Devourers of the Universe set their sights on the Green-skinned Orc Empire and began to advance deep into the interior of Omgeria.
Isn't this a coincidence? The green-skinned orcs also think of the void zerg in this way.
These beasts are good opponents. Although they have no fear, anger, or emotional fluctuations, the fun of fighting them is not as good as fighting some intelligent races. But the key is that these beasts are huge in number and don't play tricks. If they say they want to fight, they will really fight. They will fight with you until you are happy.
What's wrong with that? It's a big portion and you can eat it up.
Of course, after the two races fought fiercely and invested more and more troops, they did not let humans have an easy time and wiped out the nearby human world. Sifleg himself almost got trapped, but fortunately he escaped in the end.
But he did not run far, and he observed from the edge of the battlefield with a small fleet.
Then, mankind witnessed a shocking and brutal war.
The war broke out in hundreds of worlds at the same time, and the battle lines of both sides were quite long. Both races were relatively less dependent on logistical supplies, not only could weapons and ammunition be made locally, but dead "soldiers" could even be grown and hatched locally, so both sides could throw themselves into the brutal war without any scruples.
In the first stage, the Zerg gained an indisputable advantage.
The Dragon Shell Orc Empire did not realize at first what kind of war-like race it was facing. They were still in the state of playing and beating the fragile human army. The assembly of their own tribes was not done well. The large army was still in the depths of the Ohmgeria star field. There were still frequent internal fights between the tribes within the empire and the clans within the tribes.
Although Chief Dragon Shell was still there, he had the ability and prestige to easily suppress all the internal struggles, but he did not do so.
On the contrary, he is encouraging it.
In the absence of external pressure, it is good to fight among the people. It is a normal choice to train the boys under your command, select an elite army, and then conduct a great war.
Fight it, and the harder you fight, the better.
Under such circumstances, it is normal to be unable to defeat the all-out attack of the Void Zerg.
The swarm ate their fill and quickly used the biomass to hatch new armies and biological ships. They soon launched further expeditions into the interior of Omgeria.
But at this stage, they encountered stubborn resistance from the green-skinned orcs.
The fighting power of the Dragon Shell Clan is still fierce, and Dragon Shell himself is a very perceptive commander.
He quickly analyzed the situation of the front-line battles and concluded that the Zerg were a powerful opponent. He then quickly developed a countermeasure and launched a counterattack.
They fought a brutal tug-of-war with the Zerg in the southwestern part of the Ohmgeria star field for three years, with hundreds of planets as the main battlefield, and countless swarms of beasts and Zerg fighting each other.
Every second, countless bugs come out of the hatching pool and join the battlefield.
But in the same second, countless orc boys were born from spore plants, were given guns, or simply held machetes, and rushed to the battlefield howling.
The Zerg have hard shells, and the Greenskins have strong bodies; the Zerg have swarms of low-level Zerg, and the Orcs also have dense and even larger troops of Fart Elves; the Assassin Zerg appear and disappear behind enemy lines, and the Orcs' special forces also have superb experience in fighting behind enemy lines. They are different from the ordinary Greenskins who like to shout and roar at any time. They are silent, experienced, and cruel...
In terms of high-level troops, there is the Zerg's Bio-Titan against the Greenskin's King Kong; there is also an earth-shaking general-to-general battle between the Hive Tyrant and the Orc warlord under the Dragon Shell.
From the looks of it, no one is inferior to anyone else.
However, after the war lasted for three years and was more brutal than one could imagine, the green-skinned orcs, who were at home, still gained the upper hand.
They replenish losses faster than the Zerg.
Not only were they fighting and planting in the local area, but there were also countless garbage cities producing large quantities of consumables to supply the front lines. At the same time, in the heart of Omgeria, hundreds of worlds controlled by the orcs were also continuously sending reinforcements and supplies to the front lines.
During the three years of brutal war of attrition, the green-skinned orcs fought more and more fiercely, and at one point the Zerg's losses were even greater than their replenishment rate.
In a war of attrition, the only race that can suppress the Void Zerg is probably the Greenskins.
In addition, in space, the biological fleet destroyed two-thirds of the Zerg mothership's troops. It seems that the Greenskins are about to crush the Void Zerg.
On the battle lines of hundreds of planets, the Void Zerg were defeated step by step, and at one point were pushed back to the vicinity of several planets that were first invaded by the Void Zerg.
At this point, the Void Zerg were almost in danger. As long as the green-skinned orcs put in a little more effort to destroy all the Zerg bases on these planets, and find the remaining fleets that had fled and hidden when they saw the situation was not good, and destroy them as well, then the entire war would be a complete victory.
This made Siflag, who had been watching the game nearby, very anxious.
I was counting on you two to fight till the end of time, until both sides are defeated.
In the end, it’s over in just three years?
During these three years of fighting, the green-skinned orcs have certainly suffered countless casualties, but how does the current mighty force compare to that of three years ago?
Sharper!
Three years of bloody battles with the insect swarms were like a grindstone. Although some debris was worn off, the machete became even sharper after being sharpened.
The many men under Siflag's command had different feelings at this moment.
Especially those who had opposed the plan earlier.
The worst case scenario has already occurred.
The rise of the Dragon Shell Orcs was not only not stopped, but was greatly strengthened. Now, after the bloody battle, the Orcs have become stronger to a certain extent. According to their temperament, how could they continue to stay in the Omgilia star field?
With nothing blocking their way, they were bound to break out.
This progress might be even faster than when the Void Zerg were not called in. After all, if the Zerg did not come, the Greenskin Chieftain might still plan to stay in the star field and watch the tribes, clans, and warlords under his command fight each other for a decade before he was satisfied and sent his troops to war.
Siepleiger's plan, on the contrary, put the pedal to the metal when it came to the green tide.
Siephaleg himself was at a loss.
After using every possible means, how could this be the result?
However, he did not feel sad for long, as the situation took a new turn.
When the green-skinned orcs were attacking the bases of the last few planets of the Zerg and were about to wipe them out completely in one fell swoop, in space, a new Zerg fleet crossed the astral tunnel and arrived in Omgeria.
The scale of this new fleet is even larger than the earliest Zerg swarm!
Obviously, in the previous fierce tug-of-war, the Zerg Hive had already realized that the enemy they faced this time was different and that they could not defeat it with just the forces at hand. They might have called for support several years ago, and now it has finally arrived.
The two sides once again started a war between these galaxies.
This time, it was the Zerg that won.
The flagship of a great warlord who led the orc army on the front line was destroyed, which in turn caused chaos in the orc fleet and caused them to suffer heavy losses.
Then, taking advantage of the loss of command and internal strife among the green-skinned orc front-line troops, the Zerg launched a massive counterattack.
It took the green-skinned orcs more than a year to stabilize the situation, and the battle line between the two sides remained roughly the same as it was three or four years ago.
But even if the situation is stabilized this time, the greenskins have become the passive party strategically.
However, the stalemate between the two sides will probably last for a long time this time.
Siephale breathed a sigh of relief, but regretted that he could not continue observing.
He heard from the rear that the main force of the Alliance's Dark Expedition had arrived and wanted to call him in for questioning.
