Chapter 520: Preparing for War
In the 36th year of the New Era, the Swarm once again amassed a wave of forces, signaling their intent to move. Every movement of the Swarm sent ripples of anxiety through the civilizations bordering their territory. As soon as the Swarm began to stir, the foreign races held countless meetings, both large and small.
“How should we respond this time? Does anyone have any ideas?”
“What else can we do? Of course we should continue to evacuate. The Locke Mutual Aid Society set a good example last time. I believe this evacuation will go even more smoothly than before.”
“That’s not necessarily true. We haven’t engaged the Swarm in several encounters, and our current forces number in the hundreds of millions. Many are calling for us to teach the Swarm a lesson.”
“Ignore those overconfident fools. They won’t cause any real trouble.”
“Not necessarily. Those troublemakers have the Locke Mutual Aid Society behind them. They’re trying to push us to the forefront.”
“Hmph, if they keep causing trouble, we’ll arrest them and hand them equipment. If they want to teach the Swarm a lesson, we’ll let them.”
“I like that idea.”
Within the Koya Alliance, despite some discordant voices, a consensus was quickly reached. The new evacuation plan was set in motion, making their decision clear to all observers.
