Chapter 551: The Path
As more and more races arrived at the front lines, attacking the Swarm had become the most widely watched and discussed matter within the entire Confederation. This would likely remain the case for a long time into the future.
The first battle against the Swarm in years had drawn immense attention from various races and individuals. However, after a single round of dark energy cannon volleys from the Swarm, many were left in stunned silence. The only difference was that the Ketou Civilization, positioned at the forefront, suffered both financial and psychological blows, whereas other races only endured the psychological impact.
“We had long speculated that the Swarm inherited the legacy of a higher civilization. Isn’t it only natural for them to possess dark energy technology?” A race representative in the command center at the rear expressed his opinion.
“Then how do you explain their previous war? They had advanced technology but didn’t use it? Instead, they fought with outdated weapons?”
“Maybe they just preferred it?”
“Do you really believe that?”
“Not really…”
“Furthermore, in the battle five years ago, they recalled nearly all of their forces, numbering between seven to eight hundred million. Yet from the Swarm forces that have now entered battle, those troops are nowhere to be seen.”
“Maybe they’re being retrofitted in the rear? After all, they were an older generation of units.” One race representative shrugged, unconcerned since their own troops were not on the front lines.
