Chapter 490: Discussion
On the side of the Koya Alliance, it seemed they were determined to play the role of a turtle hiding in its shell. Since their current image had already sunk to its lowest point, they chose to focus on preserving their strength.
Thus, in the northern regions, they unhesitatingly abandoned several star systems that were still under development.
[T/N: Had to check if north, south etc are a thing in space and it seems like it is but not the way the author has used it here. Just thought I’d give you a heads up.]
In the main battlefield, the Daqi Empire had originally controlled three star systems. After the Qi 101 Star System and Qi 102 Star System were occupied by the Swarm, the adjacent Qi 103 Star System became the front line of the war.
Although the Swarm did not attack this system at the time, the evacuation here had occurred simultaneously with that of Qi 101 and Qi 102. With more buffer time, the area was now entirely deserted. Anything that could be transported was taken away, and anything that could not was destroyed, leaving an air of desolation.
Unlike the other two star systems, no resistance forces were left behind here. The policy of non-resistance was carried out to its extreme.
However, the Swarm, launching from these three star systems, mobilized hundreds of millions of troops and was naturally not satisfied with occupying just one star system. Several other star systems near Qi 103 were also part of the Swarm’s strategic targets this time.
The Koya Alliance was fully aware of this and had already begun evacuations when they anticipated the Swarm’s moves.
Even though the related member races suffering losses felt as if their hearts were bleeding, they had no choice but to swallow their pride. After all, when the decision to abandon the Daqi Empire had been made, they had also nodded in agreement. Now that it was their turn, there was no reason to object. They could only grit their teeth and endure.
