Everyone watched the situation on the screen, their faces full of alarm.
Winter said in shock, "These things grow way too fast!"
Maria, who frequently fought Life Devourers, immediately said, "These are the Life Devourers' low-level units, worker forms."

Each squad had fifty suits of Powered Armor and two hundred Bone Serpent Exoskeletons.
