With the arrival of the Alliance, Salius's primary concern was not about the troop strength, but the issue of supplies.
The ammunition and military reserves of the larger Western Front forces, especially the stockpiles of high-end weaponry, could only sustain a month of high-intensity combat at most.

Due to uneven distribution of materials and disrupted logistics caused by the war, some planets were already facing severe ammunition shortages. Reports indicated that, when faced with the Insect Swarm attacks, some lines had to resort to bayonets after their ammunition ran out. Courage was abundant, but in the end, they were completely submerged by the endless tide of the swarm.
Ironically, in this situation of such tight transport capacity, to ensure the operational priority of warships, the fuel supply for transport ships was substantially cut.
There was no other way.
