The bone stingers secreted from within their bodies are propelled at terrifying speeds, reaching multiple times the speed of sound.
Not to mention the hardness of the bone stingers surpassing that of many alloy steels, their frightening speed makes them a significant threat to any aircraft.
Putting those aside, what captures everyone’s attention the most are the Thunder Beasts leading the charge.
They resemble mammoths in shape, but they are at least about twenty-five meters tall and far more ferocious in appearance, with a pair of huge bone scythes in front.
Finn Lewis had tested the sharpness of these scythes, which could penetrate most armors.
The chitin shell of these creatures, a diamond-shaped composite of foreign compounds and organic tissues, is extraordinarily light and incomparably hard, much tougher than the outer shells of many human armored vehicles.
...
There are many more specific test results, but they are all decidedly unfavorable to humans, at least for now.
So, it is clear to both Finn Lewis and Sekata Brown from the videos that the true combat strength of the Insect Species, once unleashed, is incredibly ferocious.
To be honest, this was Finn Lewis’s first time seeing the full potential of the Insect Species units unleashed, living up to their reputation of sweeping across the entire universe in another space-time.
This species was too powerful, with a genetic adaptability that allowed them to adjust to nearly any environment.
In any environment, they also had aggressive reproductive abilities that could, in a short period, overwhelm everyone with an unstoppable army of the Worm Sea.
Now, Finn Lewis was somewhat aghast at the scale of their attack.
The video footage Luna Starfield obtained must have been recorded aboard the Rochefort Clan’s warships or from the battlefield defense systems.
It was evident that this defense base was prepared, and not just prepared; it had stockpiled an abundance of weapons, soldiers, and especially powerful defense cannons.
When the Insect Species initiated their attack, the first to charge were countless Swift Beasts in an invincible Worm Sea formation.
The footage showed these densely packed Swift Beasts that could frighten anyone with claustrophobia.
However, if humans were truly committed to defense, it has to be said, under the bombardment of various high-powered weapons and explosives, it would be very hard for these Swift Beasts to mount an attack.
Moreover, for the first time, Finn Lewis realized that the Federation hadn’t completely abandoned gunpowder weapons.
It seemed gunpowder weapons had their own advantages, at least in terms of expanding the scale of injury and area of effect over energy weapons.
Energy weapons had their own benefits, such as rapid firing and being harder to defend against, as physical defenses were often not sufficient.
However, under such ground defense, energy weapons clearly seemed less effective, which was probably why the Rochefort Clan relied mainly on gunpowder weapons.
Massive cannons covered the entire battlefield.
These gunpowder weapons were likely different from those on Earth, containing substances not yet discovered on our planet.
The power of the artillery shells was abnormally terrifying.
Yet, from beginning to end, the Swift Beasts showed no fear or hesitation, advancing from a distance of roughly ten or more kilometers, relentlessly pushing the front line to a distance of about seven or eight kilometers before being halted by the Rochefort Clan’s ground troops.
