The locations that were struck were productive military sites, carefully selected nodes within the infrastructure that sustained Zargol's presence across the sector. No planets were destroyed this time, and no unnecessary massacres were carried out, but the nature of the sixty strikes made them far more effective than simple destruction ever could have been.
Each strike was precise.
Each strike was deliberate.
Each strike was painful.
Factories were crippled.
Supply chains were disrupted.
Strategic hubs were shaken to their core.
Although most of the attackers were unable to fully complete their missions, as one or two Nexus State experts appeared at several sites, or reinforcements arrived through space portals forcing them to retreat prematurely, the damage was still significant enough to make the Sorcerer Behemoth feel a sharp, suffocating pain in his chest.
It was not the scale of the damage that mattered…
It was the message.
