I Am The Swarm

“Stop them!” Compared to energy cannon fire, the Primordial Body projectiles launched by electromagnetic rails were slower, but still much faster than those relying solely on their own propulsion modules.

Moreover, their threat level was dozens of times higher than that of energy cannon fire. The Yuntu Race had to concentrate their firepower to eliminate them.

However, the electromagnetic rail launchers, operating in rapid-fire mode, managed to unleash a barrage of over a hundred thousand Primordial Body projectiles in a short time, despite their limited numbers. This created a momentum akin to a full-scale army charge.

The sudden appearance of these Primordial Body projectiles disrupted the Yuntu Race’s defensive rhythm. Their high speed required extensive calculations to intercept, and since these projectiles were living entities, they could slightly alter their trajectory mid-flight. In the precision-demanding environment of space combat, even a minor miscalculation could lead to catastrophic failure. The Yuntu Race had to expend a significant amount of firepower to perform area saturation attacks to take them down.

But the Yuntu Race wasn’t just dealing with these Primordial Body projectiles. The diversion of firepower created gaps in their defense, which had already been barely holding back the Swarm’s encirclement through the self-destruction of unmanned drones.

Some Primordial Body projectiles took advantage of the weakened firepower to rapidly advance, forcing the Yuntu Race to redistribute their firepower to suppress them. However, the number of firepower output positions was limited, and the Yuntu Race found themselves in a situation where they were constantly torn between conflicting priorities.

“Deploy all unmanned drones! Maintain fleet formation and focus on breaking through to the northwest!” The Yuntu fleet commander clearly understood that if any part of their defense collapsed, the entire front line would fall like dominoes.

The commander knew that continuing to hold their current position would only delay the inevitable Swarm breakthrough. The newly appeared electromagnetic launch platforms had disrupted the previously tenuous balance.

Now, he had to change tactics to seek a chance of survival.
