As expected, the longer this goes on, the worse it gets.
The Bug Empress was producing more and more of her children. Each minute that passes, the number of bugs she unleashes rises incrementally.
Nicholas and his fellow councillors could still handle them just fine, but they definitely can't allow this to go on. This can't be dragged on because the Bug Empress can create limitless amounts of bugs.
And while it is obvious that, if they wanted to stop her from producing more bugs, they just have to attack her instead, in reality, it's not that easy.
It's not like the Bug Empress was just standing there, womb out, and ceaselessly discharging her children all over them. Her position might look incredibly exposed and vulnerable, but the truth is, she's well defended.
