I Am The Swarm

The special projectiles exploded, creating a unique gravitational wave. Other Yuntu ships without quantum communication devices quickly detected these waves and emerged from warp travel, halting their advance.

Then, more special projectiles were launched, exploded, and sent out warnings, like a domino effect, transmitting the information across the entire fleet. Most ships received the message, but a few at the forefront missed it and continued charging headlong into the trap.

Even so, the Yuntu fleet had already lost millions of ships. The losses were devastating, and what made it worse was that despite such heavy casualties, they had inflicted almost no damage on the Swarm.

However, such good fortune for the Swarm would only happen once. Even if the confederation races weren’t sure whether the Swarm truly had the ability to locate fleets in warp travel or if it was just a stroke of luck, they would undoubtedly be much more cautious in the future. At the very least, quantum communication devices would be more widely distributed.

“What’s going on? How did the Swarm know we were coming this way?” In the rear command room, the Yuntu representative initially insisted that the Swarm must have gotten lucky, intercepting them by chance. After all, the Swarm had set up over a hundred rally points in that region.

But soon, news came in that another race, the Sangqie, who were on par with the Yuntu, had also been intercepted by the Swarm.

Once could be a coincidence, but twice? Many began to doubt it was mere luck. Although the setup on the Sangqie side was similar to the Yuntu’s, few now believed it was a coincidence.

Unable to accept reality, the Yuntu representative kept asking questions, but no one in the room could provide an answer.

“Regardless, we need to notify the other fleets to be extremely cautious. If necessary, slow down their speed, but don’t let them fall into the Swarm’s trap.”
