"W-we defeated the Tyranid Swarms?" Kryfis and the others stared at the scene before them, unable to contain their excitement.
They had never imagined the Imperium could defeat such a terrifying spaceborne swarm so easily.
And without taking a single loss!
The massive swarm had failed to breach even the Imperial Fleet's outermost defensive line before breaking apart and scattering in every direction.
