Chapter 300: Barrage
“Deploy all fighter jets! Stop them!” Though they weren’t sure what the Swarm intended, stopping them was undoubtedly the right move.
He seemed to forget that if they hadn’t meticulously tried to prevent the Swarm from “escaping” earlier, the Swarm’s grand performance wouldn’t have succeeded in the first place.
This time, however, his decision was correct—at least when it came to halting the spread of the Fungal Carpet, as there was no hidden agenda behind this particular maneuver.
Meanwhile, the urgency of the situation was recognized by both the Second Fleet, led by Novaul, and the Third Fleet, led by Alcer.
Since the Riken warships couldn’t freely land on the planet’s surface, they were forced to dock gradually in outer orbit.
Massive steel behemoths over a kilometer long opened their side hangar bay doors, releasing waves of fighter jets. The aircraft hovered briefly to form formations before diving toward Planet Raze.
The Riken’s fighter squadrons followed the same composition as before: each squadron included one manned fighter jet accompanied by nine unmanned drones, forming a cohesive attack group.
From the three fleets, over 2,000 warships deployed more than ten attack formations each, totaling over 200,000 fighter jets, which swarmed toward Planet Raze like a flood.
It was a pity that space lacked air. Otherwise, the roar of engines from such a massive fleet would have been deafening and awe-inspiring.
