In the Zaft-controlled Space City, Patrick Serra looked at the images transmitted from the space telescope, observing the cleared path in the dense Insect Swarm, his expression quite solemn.
He never imagined that the ’Genesis’, this epoch-making weapon, would ever fall short of its power!
This is a Destruction-class weapon capable of destroying life on Earth’s surface!
Yet, when facing the overwhelming Insect Swarm, it could only carve out a narrow path...
"At this rate, even if every strike achieves this effect, it would probably take dozens, even hundreds of shots..."
As Aslan’s father, with his wife having died in the Bloody Valentine’s Day incident, Patrick Serra is one of the most aggressive war advocates among the Adjusters, with hawkish behavior and a resolute personality.
Yet even he, watching the overwhelming surge of the Insect Swarm from the asteroid belt, felt a deep sense of helplessness.
When the swarm’s density decreases, Genesis’s effectiveness will definitely diminish too!
"I told you we should build more Genesis units; one isn’t enough. You just wouldn’t agree due to the budget constraints."
Patrick Serra grumbled at his political opponent, also the chairman and father of Lacus, Heiger Klein.
"It’s my fault, I never anticipated facing extraterrestrial enemies..."
Heiger Klein’s expression was equally grave.
When previously faced with the formidable pressure brought by Tao Yu’s side, they chose to surrender because the Space City could not withstand such devastation, and Genesis was ineffective against those agile units.
But on the most fundantal level, they had already judged from the opposition’s actions that they were not dealing with monstrous individuals guilty of heinous cris.
Truly surrendering could save the lives of many Adjusters, which was entirely acceptable.
But with these nacingly shaped Insect Race, they roughly understood that there was no room for negotiation.
"We can only fight, fight until the last soldier and last piece..."
Heiger Klein sighed with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, his adversary had always advocated for a strong military. Due to Zaft’s manpower shortage, they adopted an elite model, and Patrick Serra expanded Zaft’s pilot team significantly.
Combined with Adjusters’ overall superiority to Naturals, their industrial capability is also exceptionally strong. Now they have brought out so reserve and stored chas, along with reserve and retired pilots, bringing their numbers to a respectable level.
The only regret is that even if all of Zaft’s chas were deployed, their efficiency would still far fall short of Genesis!
Therefore, safeguarding Genesis’s charging ti is crucial in this war!
"Alas, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate, but Mr. Huang has consolidated Earth’s power with a Thunderbolt sweep, hoping we can hold..."
Afterward, the more prestigious Patrick Serra initiated the public broadcast on-site.
"Everyone, reinforcents are on their way; we just need to protect Genesis, and the ultimate victory will be ours! Fight for Zaft!"
They are a Space City, at the forefront, with nowhere to retreat to!
We must stand at the front, stand even if we can’t!
"For Zaft!"
The psychological quality of Adjusters is indeed far superior to ordinary people.
Currently, on Earth, many places are in chaos due to the indiscriminate spread of Insect Swarm news; chaos and looting pervade many areas already lacking in law and order.
Yet on Zaft’s side, even ordinary people are doing their best to remain calm.
Firearms were even directly distributed to every Adjuster!
No matter how effective they are, having a gun is better than none!
One by one, Zaft warships began to erge, Romansia-class, Nascar-class, Petri-class, various models of warships, escorted by chas led by Gall, began to leave the military port.
"Not knowing their specific intelligence yet, nor understanding their maximum offensive range, we must begin so probing first."
As Patrick Serra initiated the mobilization, two Nascar-class destroyers were soon ordered to advance swiftly towards the Insect Swarm.
They knew such reconnaissance was a mission of certain death, yet they moved forward without hesitation.
Behind them is their ho, their family, lovers, and descendants. At this mont, soone must step up!
"For Zaft!"
However, thanks to the considerable distance from the asteroid belt, until Genesis fired its second shot towards the swarm, the two Nascar-class destroyers had yet to make direct contact with the swarm.
But once the second high-energy gamma-ray burst passed through the swarm, again ionizing and disintegrating a line of the Insect Swarm.
From those motherships moving in space, just like a swarm of bees, countless smaller entities flew out densely.
Each insect army is controlled by a Brain Worm, capable of temporarily hatching a variety of corresponding individual types.
Having endured two gamma-ray bursts, the Brain Worm overseeing this swarm imdiately locked onto Genesis and started breeding nurous specialized Insect Race units in response.
So Special Flying Dragons, Corruptors, and even self-destructing Insect Swarms, capable of surviving the space environnt, began surging out of the motherships in batches, covering the vast Starry Sky as they moved towards the distant Space City.
Through optical imaging, one could see a scene reminiscent of a dreamlike spread of Nebula ribbons, all composed of insects!
