Columbia's unmanned fighters could no longer hold back the Blade-Arm Mutalisks and Vipers filling the skies and the land. Their numbers approached one million—more than five times the two hundred thousand Zerg they had defeated before. Such a terrifying number meant that every inch of space visible before the Columbia fleet was filled with flying Zerg units. This was the swarm tactic—the true swarm tactic.
Ye Luo had clearly placed great expectations on this million-strong army. At their forefront were three thousand Swarm Hosts, packed densely together. If these creatures were positioned beside frontline warships, they would provide enormous support to the Zerg warships.
Sidney's face darkened. This terrifying Zerg Hive was simply not something their few cruisers and destroyers could stop. Though the drone production lines were powerful, they were still far inferior to the Zerg, who could hatch units anytime and anywhere. More importantly, the Zerg could convert energy into waves for widespread use. This method of energy transmission was countless times more advanced than Columbia's. Columbia could only use the resources it carried. By now, all the resource supplies following behind the fleet had been used up, yet the shortage of minerals kept the drone production lines idle!
"Main guns and secondary guns, target the Zerg army! All bombers, deploy! Load air-to-air missiles and lay stealth aerial mines! We absolutely cannot let the Zerg break through our defenses!" Sidney slammed a hand onto the console and snarled.
