Chapter 544: Development
The Yuntu Race’s commander stared silently at the 3D holographic map of the battlefield before him.
“Commander, what should we do now?”
As more and more warships emerged from the breach in the northwest encirclement, the number of Yuntu forces that had escaped the Swarm’s encirclement had reached 15 million, accounting for the majority of the remaining fleet. If things went smoothly, they might even be able to break free on their own before reinforcements arrived.
But reality was cruel. The Swarm’s reinforcements continued to pour into the battlefield, widening the gap in numbers between the two sides. The reduction of forces within the encirclement made it increasingly difficult for the Yuntu to resist the Swarm’s tightening grip.
Just yesterday, the Swarm launched a sudden, fierce assault, breaching the Yuntu formation from multiple directions simultaneously. Caught off guard, the Yuntu formation was split in two. Before they could react, countless Swarm units had erected a bloody barrier, completely trapping the rear section of the Yuntu forces within the encirclement.
The forces that escaped the Swarm’s encirclement are referred to as Group A, while those still trapped are Group B. The Swarm had now split Group B into two parts: B1 and B2, with B2 being completely trapped within the encirclement.
At the same time, the Swarm, with its abundant forces, organized another group to launch a fierce attack on the northwest section of the original encirclement, preventing the Yuntu fleet (Group A) from rescuing their trapped comrades. Additionally, they intercepted the separated forward forces (B1), preventing them from regrouping.
In just two days, B1 was completely scattered, with most of its units surrounded by the Swarm. A few lucky ones managed to slip through gaps in the battlefield and miraculously regrouped with Group A.
“How many have made it out?” the commander asked, knowing what his subordinates were thinking. Even he, who had issued multiple orders for indiscriminate fire, couldn’t bear the bitter consequences of abandoning so many friendly forces.
