Reinforcements

The heavy forces originally stockpiled at the front lines, combined with reinforcements arriving from multiple routes and the former Royal Court's garrison troops, formed an astonishingly large army—around fifty billion strong.

Within ten years, these forces would bypass the shockwave from the stellar explosion and arrive at the XM1209 Star Gate in stages. From there, they would be transported to multiple Star Gates within The Alliance of the Inner-Ring Civilizations before being dispersed across the standoff front.

Naturally, the Zerg were not doing this out of pure friendship between allies. Building a single Star Gate was nowhere near enough to make the Zerg work so hard.

The reason the Zerg were so smoothly fulfilling their duties as allies was certainly because they had plans of their own.

Although the Zerg had previously sent a wave of support to The Alliance of the Inner-Ring Civilizations, the number of troops in that deployment had been far too small—so small that dispersing them would inevitably have aroused suspicion.

After all, there were only so few troops to begin with, yet they were to be split up to support different locations. Anyone would find that suspicious. The Zerg had gone to the front lines to light up the map, and such an arrangement clearly did not suit that purpose.

Thus, the Zerg decided to dispatch a sufficient number of troops all at once, then disperse them along the standoff front under the pretext of assisting with defense, thereby achieving their goal of lighting up the map.

The plan had been completed and only awaited further implementation. Space warfare stretched across immense spans of time, and marches measured in years could only be waited out slowly.

As time passed and the Zerg forces gradually took their positions, the Zerg proposed dispersing their troops to various
