Capítulo 340: Tarsus Aflame, Pt 4

Perched on top of a large township building, Freya stood in mild shock as she looked out at the distance beyond. There, she watched as fire fell from the sky, and as smoke consumed the horizon. More than that, she watched as Federation fleets spread out further and further.

It had grown from a few hundred, up to a few thousand, all in the span of a few years.
