Chapter 498: The Central Army
The Swarm did not give the coalition much time to react. Noticing the anomalies on the flanks, the Blades had already learned some inside information through special channels. Knowing that the current situation was not a trap, they naturally launched an all-out pursuit.
Without effective command, and with everyone retreating while fighting, hoping to push other groups to the front, the coalition’s flanks retreated over a million kilometers. They even fell back to a position further behind the rear forces.
But let’s not forget that the central coalition forces were still charging forward. This advance and retreat isolated the entire central coalition.
The Swarm forces, which had been pursuing the flanks, suddenly turned their spears and cut into the central forces from both sides, separating the central army from the rear forces and creating a situation where the central coalition was surrounded.
“Push the troops forward! Stop them at all costs, regardless of casualties! Don’t let any reinforcements through until we’ve devoured the central forces!” Sarah Kerrigan declared forcefully in the Swarm command center.
A battle of this scale, involving tens of millions of units, was something the Locke Mutual Aid Society had never experienced before. But for Luo Wen, this was nothing. Back in the day, he had commanded battles involving tens of billions of units. After that battle, the Swarm’s dominance on Genesis Planet was firmly established…
Thus, Sarah, who had been guided by Luo Wen, was not overly panicked despite facing such a situation for the first time. Moreover, the Swarm’s composition and mode of operation meant there were no complicated post-war compensations or other concerns, which greatly reduced Sarah’s worries.
The coalition’s commanders and staff quickly realized the Swarm’s intentions. Although they reacted swiftly and made countermeasures, it was already too late.
Endless Space Octopuses blocked their path, and the Primordial-class units released all their Mature bodies and Larval bodies, filling the void.
