Chapter 532: Forest Of Ships
(Planet Tithia, Hangar Bay, Leo’s POV)
Leo had never seen as much chaos at Tithia’s Hangar Bay Area as he did today.
There were ships everywhere.
Cargo freighters. Tactical carriers. Armored battlecruisers. Agile Frigates. Massive long-range destroyers. He couldn’t even count them if he tried.
The entire airfield looked like some mechanical forest, with steel beasts instead of trees, each growling, humming, or sparking to life in preparation for launch.
Thousands of soldiers swarmed the place like ants, moving crates, fuel cells, ammo boxes, and god-knows-what else between ships. Crew members jogged past with scanner boards and fuel logs, while nervous recruits carried out last-minute supply runs, flinching every time a Captain or Commander barked something in their ears.
Leo caught sight of one poor guy dropping a whole crate of rations as a woman in a red captain’s coat tore into him so hard, it looked like he might cry on the spot.
Overhead, Tithia’s sky was just as busy. Hundreds of warships hovered far above the skyline like metallic clouds, temporarily parked for the time.
They’d already launched from other home planets and were now waiting for the final flag to move.
Tithia was their last stop.
From here onwards, all of them would move together in battle formation until they reached their intended target planet.
Leo couldn’t help but stop and stare at all this activity, he was fascinated by it to say the least, however, Dumpy, who was lazily perched on his shoulders, was the complete opposite.
