While Rear Admiral Anderson was haggling with Tilia, the battle in the Wandering Galaxy continued.

Then they rapidly stockpiled resources, waiting for the Reapers to pounce again before unleashing another wave of units. Then they would clear out the Reapers once more, seize new territory, and continue building bases...
The Reapers were numerous, but they had gained little advantage against Fang Zheng's Swarm. In fact, they had brought Fang Zheng quite a few benefits. The regions he now occupied had long since extended far beyond the Wandering Galaxy. Strictly speaking, he had already entered Turian Empire territory.
