The Mech Touch

Chapter 6788 Final Glory Project

It took Ves more hours than he would have liked to resolve his conflicting feelings.

He eventually concluded that he was no angel by any means. It was not his job to save every single human life, even if he or she was a member of the Larkinson Clan.

Ves could no longer afford to entertain childish and naive daydreams. He needed to work within the framework of reality and accept that he could not save everyone's lives.

As much as he felt guilty about it, he could not defy the strategic decisions made by Human High Command.

The inhabitants of the Middle Zones and the Lower Zones had to stay as much as possible.

On the one hand, they were needed to fight back against the alien invaders as much as possible.

Even if their defeat was already set in stone, a determined resistance could still inflict a lot of damage and delay the enemy's advance.

On the other hand, their deaths would ultimately contribute towards the most important 'win condition, which was to catalyze the breakthroughs of peak ace pilots! Since many ordinary space peasants were designated as necessary sacrifices to produce this favorable outcome, the Larkinsons living among them could not avoid their own responsibilities.

Why should the Larkinsons be able to get away for free while many of their peers had no choice but to fight and die?

If the Larkinson Clan wanted to prove that it was dedicated towards the survival of the human race in the Red Ocean, it could not allow its own members to shirk their responsibilities and enjoy special treatment.

Ves felt rather bad about letting these side branch members stay on planets that would soon become vulnerable to alien invasions.

He decided that he would not stop his clan from rerouting ships to evacuate the clansmen that had the misfortune of living in the endangered zones.

This conformed to the normal behavior of people. The rest of the clan remained ignorant of the true high-level strategic outlook, so there was no reason for them to believe that the Middle Zones and Lower Zones had already been abandoned by their leaders.
