Chapter 155: Chapter 148: Progress, Preparation and Battles

The more this war continued, the more Regina realized that it was going to be both shorter and longer than she’d thought. The actual, military ‘decision’, as Bianorn had called it, would probably not take that long, actually. That didn’t mean more time wouldn’t pass until the fighting ended, though.

To be fair, it hadn’t exactly dragged on for very long yet. In fact, the war was probably still in its beginning phase, objectively. It had only been a matter of days.

Either way, she was still getting more reinforcements with every day that passed. They weren’t at a point yet where these new drones actually made a significant impact on their numbers fighting the war, though - the casualties they were taking soaked them up easily. That probably meant their levels were dropping on average. Although the surviving Swarm Drones did level up quite rapidly. Regina was confident that soon, that would actually help give the hive stronger hatchling Swarm Drones, since they started at a higher level because of her Ability Swarm Strength. Plus, she’d discovered that Evolved sapient Swarm Drones still counted towards that level, too. Of course, given the hordes of new, weak Swarm Drones the hive was hatching, that number would never get too high.

Her sapient drones were also leveling up, though. More of them had reached the third Tier than ever before, and Tim was actually bumping up against the limit of her own level. Even though she’d reached level 46 only a short time after she’d gained her last level-up and her newest Ability.

That was why she almost dropped the (explosive and dangerous) container she’d just filled using Conjuration when she saw another level-up notification after only a few days of fighting in the mountains.
