The fungus blanket grew slowly in the snow, spreading little by little.

The worker insects dragged the corpses of the insects together, and the supply insects chewed the corpses of the insects, digested and decomposed them, and then injected them into the fungus blanket to provide resources for the expansion of the fungus blanket.

"Juggernaut, those green-skinned ratmen have sent out their armies and are marching towards our side." Word came from Sebros.

Taryn was stunned for a moment: "What's the situation?" Why did the nezumi suddenly dispatch a large army? Did they find us? ”

"This can't be, no nezumi have ever been to the main lair." "The fungus blanket near the main nest ensures that there are absolutely no dead spots in the area, and there is no chance that the other party will spot us and we won't find them." ”

"Damn, why did you send troops at this time?" Taryn said, "By the way, how do you know that the Scouts don't survive the winter, do they?" ”

"My swarm has seen the nezumi marching." "But all the bugs I saw were gone. ”

"......" Taryn felt it, and found that the nest near the nezumi city was indeed missing some soldiers, "It's troublesome......"

“…… Juggernaut, are we going to abandon this city and attack those nezumi? Fast asked.

"This ...... I have to think about how long it will take for the nezumi to reach our main nest? Taryn asked.

"Judging by the speed of their march, it will be about ten days." "However, the road to the main nest is complicated and the exact time is difficult to determine. ”

"Is the other party's target indeed our main nest?"

"It's incredibly likely, because in that direction there's nothing else that would be worth sending an army." Sebroth said.

"No, besides us, there's a bugman." "But there's no doubt that they can't know about the bugmen without us detecting them. So it can only be us. ”

So, what do we do? If you mobilize the soldiers and insects now, it's still too late. Fast said.

"But it's hard to keep up with the supplies." "We brought most of our resources with us for this operation. Damn, I hate this kind of surprise the most. Ten days...... Fortunately, I didn't bring all the pupae from the main nest, so if the fight starts, I will use the reserve army to hold out for a while. How big is the nezumi? ”

"About two thousand."

"Two thousand...... It's still a green-skinned rat man......" Taryn had a headache, "Let's try to solve it peacefully first, if you can, you won't fight." This kind of guy is disgusting. Taryn also thought about how to fight the green-skinned ratmen, and finally found that the only way was to eliminate them from a distance, and try not to fight them in melee combat, because no matter whether they win or lose, they are basically hopeless if they get into the blood of the other party. It can only be destroyed, which will cause a window period of combat effectiveness for the Zerg, and for other races...... It was a losing war.

"I have a genetic sample of the rat-man here. It is possible to create a nezumi belonging to the Zerg. Taryn said, "Sebros, you've been observing the behavior of the nezumi, you should know the language of the nezumi, right?" It's up to you to negotiate with the nezumi and try to avoid a war with the nezumi. ”

"Yes."

"At least it's a good thing that the other party launched it at this time, at least we can still free up our hands to deal with the rat people, if this happens when we fight the insect people in the next year, it will be troublesome." Tylen sighed, so far, the Zerg couldn't even fight on two fronts.

……

Thirteen days later, Cai Yunfan looked at the creature in front of him that looked like a rat-man cub and asked, "What are you?" ”

The creature, which bears an eighty percent resemblance to the nezumi, shows its belly in a sign of no malice on the part of the nezumi, saying, "I am Sebros, a hive tyrant of the Zerg. ”

"Worm...... Nest...... Despot? Cai Yunfan pronounced the word with difficulty, "What is that?" ”

"I'm in charge...... I am the commander of the Zerg. The creature said.

"Commander of the Zerg...... You're a worm too? Also, why do you speak our language? Cai Yunfan said vigilantly.

"This is just a body that has been created to communicate with you, and naturally your language is known, and as for the true form of the Zerg," Sebroth said, "You have killed a number of our soldiers and insects before, and now you have stepped into our territory, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we will have to fight each other with swords." ”

"Killed your soldiers?" Cai Yunfan was stunned for a moment, when did it happen? If you come all the way on the march...... Wait, Cai Yunfan suddenly remembered that this place was a little familiar, if he remembered correctly...... There seems to be a group of creatures breeding herbivores...... In terms of appearance, Cai Yunfan remembered the creatures killed by the nezumi army before......

"We thought it was just a normal beast." Although Cai Yunfan didn't plan to go back alive, he didn't plan to provoke one more enemy for the rat people.

"I see, so what's the matter with so many troops?" Sebroth looked at Cai Yunfan.

"......" just fooled it over? Are the Zerg so easy to fool? Cai Yunfan was a little surprised.

"We are planning to attack the insects in this direction, and we have a grudge against those insects." Cai Yunfan said.

"Is that so? Then please take a detour, this is our Zerg territory. "If you keep going, we'll see you as enemies." ”

"......" Cai Yunfan frowned and said, "But if we take a detour, the food will not be enough to support us in the war." ”

"It's none of our business." Sebroth said, then he suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Ecai Yunfan, and said, "Your target is the wormman, right?" The carapace creature with four arms, walking upright? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Cai Yunfan asked.

"We can let you through." "We can give some resources and hire you to help us fight the Zerg. ”

"Resources? Hire? "There are no two words in the language of the rat man, and Cai Yunfan naturally cannot understand Sebros's words, in fact, these two words are spoken in Chinese, although they are not standard.

"Resources are things like food, water, hides, some ores, and so on. Hiring means that we give these things to you, and you do things for us. "We're going to fight the Zerg, and since you're going to fight the Zerg, our purpose is the same. Can be friends. ”

"Friends?" Cai Yunfan thought about it for a long time, but Sebros didn't say anything to let him decide as soon as possible.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with." Cai Yunfan said.
