Ten Triangle Empire main battle battleships charged toward a small insect swarm at a speed of 80,000 kilometers per second. The swarm numbered roughly over a million insects.
That was right—over a million insects. This was already the smallest swarm they could find.
At that moment, these hundred thousand insects were pursuing more than two hundred private spacecraft. The wealthy people aboard those ships watched the swarm draw closer and closer, despair written across every face.
Suddenly, hundreds of powerful beams streaked in from afar, sweeping through the dense swarm in an instant and directly taking out over ten thousand insects.
In the distance, Hasso watched the live feed and nodded in satisfaction.
These were, after all, Level 4 Civilization weapons. A single beam could cut through the swarm, and with the insects packed so densely together, one main gun shot could reap hundreds of insects in a line. Although the secondary guns were far less powerful, each shot could still take out a dozen or even several dozen insects.
The attack brought the swarm to an abrupt halt. They turned toward the ten Triangle Empire warships two million kilometers away and let out what seemed to be angry cries. Of course, no one else could hear them, since sound could not travel through space.
Soon, the insects realized that the ten warships seemed to contain no fewer people than the spacecraft they had been pursuing—perhaps even more—and that the quality of those people was higher as well.
After all, a four-person spacecraft generally carried only a few dozen people and was considered a small vessel. Triangle Empire battleships, on the other hand, had more than three thousand personnel when their crews and embarked fighter pilots were counted together.
Having noticed this, the insects immediately abandoned their previous prey and
