I Am The Swarm

From the current situation, Difeck was beginning to think that perhaps the approach of the Koya Alliance was the correct one. Continuously yielding space to allow the Swarm to encroach, thereby buying time.

Once the civilizations of the middle and inner circles, or even the Ji race, intervened, the Swarm would be pushed back in no time. The lost territory could naturally be reclaimed, and the losses would only be some fixed assets.

But on their side, the Locke Mutual Aid Society, attempting to block the Swarm’s invasion, had just begun the war, and already, across two battlefields, the number of lost warships had exceeded ten million, with countless casualties among various races.

Most importantly, despite these heavy losses, no strategic objectives had been achieved. Now, the Swarm was directly attacking their home, and the future losses were still unknown. From any perspective, losing so much for the sake of pride didn’t seem worth it.

But there was no time for him to dwell on these thoughts. He had to make a decision immediately: continue the battle here or return to reinforce the LKDW262 Star System.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that he didn’t have many options.

In the LKDW262 Star System, there were still around 20 million warships. However, apart from a few thousand newly arrived reinforcements, the rest were largely incapable of participating in this operation due to the lack of warp drive.

Although, as defenders, the presence of warp drive didn’t make much difference. But let’s not forget, if a warship doesn’t even have a warp drive, how good can its other configurations be? Even though there were numerous fixed defense facilities within the star system, their builders, the Moto civilization, were a fringe, lesser-developed civilization.

The combination of lesser-developed warships and lesser-developed fixed defenses facing 50 million ferocious Swarm troops—whether they could hold out, or for how long, was a question.
