The Pulse War Scorpions could no longer affect the situation, leaving the Hai City Mother Empress with fewer and fewer cards to play.
After this exchange of long-range fire, the fleet and the desperately charging tide of Spine Zergs had finally clashed!
Although the Pulse War Scorpions were almost completely wiped out, their final volley bought the charging melee Swarm at the front lines a full minute.
And it was precisely this lull in firepower of over a minute that allowed the Swarm, like a surging flood, to charge to within a mere kilometer of the fleet.
Afterward, even with their Shields gone, all the Tanks began to spread out into formation while firing their Shotguns, but it was still difficult to stop the relentless Swarm, which was so dense the Zergs were even trampling one another.
The first to clash with the Tanks was the Black Spine Zerg Swarm emerging from the local Wormholes. Their smaller size allowed them to come directly out of the smaller Wormholes.
