The decisive battle had begun.
After several hours of waiting, the Voribug Organic Battle Moon had stopped a short distance away from Philaster Crestia III.
Though the moon did not advance into weapons range, just the fact that it was orbiting relatively close by already exerted a lot of pressure towards the defenders.
The Rubarthan soldiers gritted their teeth and tried their best to focus on their immediate responsibilities.
The Goliath Hive did not deploy its Goliaths right away.
Instead, tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of cannon fodder bugs began to flood the orbital defense network.
A huge number of guns opened fire onto the seemingly unending swarms. Even though the soldiers all knew that the Goliath Hive actually fielded the least amount of cannon fodder out of the 6 hives, it certainly did not feel that way given that there were bugs in every direction!
