Chapter 259: The Plan
“So, is there anything else you’ve been hiding?” Morgan asked.
Reggie, still adjusting to his newly implanted memories, furrowed his brow and pondered for a while before replying, “I did withhold some information, but I’m unclear about the most critical details.”
Morgan nodded knowingly. “As expected. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. When the enemy comes, we’ll meet them head-on. Even if the Riken people have backing, the Swarm is not to be trifled with. When the time comes, we may need your body to help your former kin understand the greatness of our Overlord.”
“Ha, they should consider it an honor,” Reggie replied with a smirk.
Reggie then integrated into the Blade system. As a former elite of the Riken people, with a systematic education, he and Major Camis, who had arrived earlier, brought new insights to the Blades. The clash of knowledge from two civilizations was bound to spark brilliant results.
The arrival of the Riken fleet was faster and far larger in scale than the Swarm had anticipated. This revealed that their external support was much greater than initially estimated, forcing the Swarm to remain hidden until they understood the reason behind this assistance.
Still, the Swarm had its own advantages. Luo Wen’s original form was an extraordinary being from another world. He had carved a unique path in this universe, granting him unparalleled abilities and a bizarre life form.
Another advantage of the Swarm was the concealment of its true capabilities.
The Riken, following their technological and cultural paradigms, underestimated the “indigenous” civilizations in the neighboring star system due to the lack of large-scale artificial constructs or scientific activity in space.
