The Mech Touch

Chapter 6782 The Star Lancers

The enemy warships were getting felled in greater numbers.

After the Rubarthan commanders and champions chose to go for the second plan, they shifted their emphasis to destroying the warships, which served as the foundation of the enemy force composition.

The native aliens could not rely on phasefighters alone to win any battles. The alien strike craft simply did not play an important enough role to merit greater expectations. The alien phase whale and phase lords may have been able to press the assault and dismantle the entire orbital defense network by themselves.

However, they could only accomplish this goal by disregarding their own health and safety. If they valued duty above their own selfish interests, then they might be able to brave death and allow for at least three-quarters of their numbers or more to lay down their lives to conquer Kayana VIII-E.

As if.

Aside from rare exceptions such as the Divine Supplicant of the Great Ones, most phase lords were too arrogant and too full of themselves to think about sacrificing their lives to conquer just one of three fortified planets in the Kayana System.

The phase lords were much likely to attempt a withdrawal as soon as their spatial barriers and raiments no longer offered enough protection.

That made it a lot more difficult to kill the alien champions, but the Rubarthans already decided that killing them was not a priority.

While there were numerous ace pilots that were secretly disappointed that they wouldn't be able to earn glory on the battlefield by killing the alien phase lords, the defense of the Kayan System superseded all other concerns.

"Attack!"

"Kill the warships!"

Since the ace pilots and expert pilots already had their hands full with holding back the alien phase leaders, the Rubarthan commanders decided to make the costly decision to command an elite mech corps to bypass the alien small craft and assault the enemy warships directly.

This was difficult to accomplish. The enemy phasefighters were completely dedicated towards entangling as many human mechs as possible. They were extremely stubborn and kept chasing after mechs that tried to bypass them and move close to the alien warships.

The fighting so far had caused the downfall of many phasefighters, but the latter still outnumbered human mechs by a significant margin!
