The Insect Race knew only to fight to the death, not retreat, leading to a frenzied mutual slaughter with the otherworldly tribes.
The victor was in a frenzied rage. It had battled other Energy Gathering Mechanical Species before. Typically, by this point in a battle, an opponent at such an absolute disadvantage, with no possibility of victory, would inevitably collapse and flee. But not these insects!
The victor had slain hundreds of large insects, yet the "morale" of the Insect Race remained unaffected. They continued to hurl themselves at their enemy, regardless of the consequences.
The slaughter continued unabated. Gradually, only a small remnant of the Insect Race was left, surrounded by the otherworldly mechanical species.
But they were still fighting! If the otherworldly mechanical species even slightly retreated, the insects would counterattack!
