Chapter 364: Victory?
The Electromagnetic Megastructures had been far from idle during this period. Although the few 300 meter Mature Bodies they had just launched were intercepted mid-flight by Daqi drones, their defensive forces were finally breached, allowing new 300 meter Mature Bodies to press forward and deploy to designated positions.
These large combat units of the Swarm barely stabilized their forms before lunging toward the four transferring warships.
Facing the ferocious space octopuses, the three numbered Daqi warships began converging on the Chisaya to provide desperate cover. Meanwhile, the Chisaya ignited its engines and began accelerating.

“Your Majesty, what do we do?” a Blade asked.
Sarah Kerrigan’s expression wavered slightly. The four warships had recently gathered escape vehicles from the Doria. Any one of them could potentially be the target chosen by the alien Supreme Commander.
The Swarm’s combat units in the area had been nearly annihilated earlier, and the newly arrived forces were too few to intercept all four warships simultaneously. A focused effort was required.
From the current situation, the Chisaya, the largest of the ships, was the most probable target. Moreover, the protective actions of the other three warships subtly suggested someone important might indeed be aboard the Chisaya.
Yet, this very situation made Sarah suspicious. She sensed that such actions might be a ploy—a facade intended to mislead. Raising her head, she put herself in the alien commander’s shoes.
