Karnak Base was being devastated from the inside, and the native aliens did not know how to respond.
Their initial response against the storm of blades had proven utterly ineffective!
Any soldiers and vehicles that attempted to get close instantly got impaled or crushed to pieces by the floating swords.
The defenses that were positioned far away enough to escape this fate proved nothing more than nuisances.
The swords moved with enough speed and agility to evade many incoming attacks.
It did not matter if the alien attacks managed to hit their intended targets.
Whatever energy beam or projectile that managed to strike the sword fey did not even leave behind a single scorch mark or dent!
Despite the utterly despairing sight, not many alien soldiers panicked after their initial shock subsided.
Were they afraid?
Definitely?
Did they think their efforts to defend their base was futile?
Yes.
Yet that was not a good reason for them to give in to despair.
