At the start, bugs are charging from the east. Colonel Cheng warns not to mess with them, but your team should be strong enough to stand in their path and take them as they come. On the east and south edges of the map are areas with a lot of bugs wandering around, but you can't get to them. The Hopper's Nest is too big to destroy, and any Nuke trooper won't be able to get close enough to take it out anyway.
Eventually, the Consort will come to a spot where a huge mound will appear. At this point, Colonel Chang orders you to kill the Consort. Do so, and quickly head for the Retrieval Zone on the far side of the entrance to the Queen's nest, before masses of Royal Warriors pour out.
