Chapter 368: Supplies
Time flows on, never stopping.
For the Riken people, the conditions were relatively lenient and simple after their surrender. Without the need for constant militarization, the lives of ordinary citizens actually improved significantly. With the gradual increase in the proportion of Intelligent Entities controlling public opinion, any minor resistance groups or insurgent forces were quickly eradicated.
As a result, the Riken people would not be consuming much of the Swarm’s energy for the foreseeable future. This gave Luo Wen the time to carefully ponder how to deal with the behemoth backing the Daqi people.
Prince Diallo, after reorganizing his fleet, had been waiting for an opportunity to strike a significant blow against the Swarm.
However, he was unlucky enough to be dealing with the Swarm.
The Swarm was unlike any civilization he had encountered before. Compared to other civilizations, the Swarm’s approach could only be described as excessively passive.
Take the Riken people, for instance: currently, the Twin Star Defensive Zone encompassed the Riken homeworld, Planet Cloud Return, and two other planets. Other than the homeworld, the colonies on the other planets, limited by their size and population, could not sustain fully developed industries.
Thus, there was frequent movement of transport ships between these planets to exchange resources and supplies. Many of these transport ships operated without the protection of warships, making them excellent targets for ambushes.
However, the planets governed by the Rikens were relatively close to one another and equipped with extensive defensive facilities and patrolling warships. Any ordinary space pirate who ventured in would likely find it impossible to leave.
