Chapter 6817 The Decline of Collective Responsibility

The Bortele System was burning.

Gas harvesters plunged into the brutal depths of the gas giants they once harvested for fuel and other materials.

Light mechs on scouting duty suffered ambushes that caused them to get torn apart by the

transphasic hyper energy cannons of alien phasefighters.

Multiple alien fleets surrounded one stronghold after another. They methodically bombarded orbital defenses from afar and choked any attempt to launch serious counterattacks.

Enormous energy beams and projectiles the size of meteorites struck the Titan Shields that protected many settlements from annihilation. These powerful energy barriers could only hold out for so long before they collapsed, causing the residents who failed to evacuate in time to pray that their underground shelters were deep and sufficiently far away to survive the cataclysms that would

ensue.

Ever since the Bortele System had been designated as one of the key nodes of the 5th defensive band, it had turned into the most important stronghold of the Torald Middle Zone.

If Bortele fell, the ravages of war would completely engulf the Krakatoa Middle Zone!

The human defenders assigned to resist the alien invaders fought harder than before. The stakes were far too high. Many of them still had families in the Krakatoa Middle Zone. Even if this was the case, they still felt responsible for the lives and deaths of trillions of colonists.

Whether these brave human soldiers could all evacuate away in time depended on how long they were able to stall the advancing aliens!

It was under these dire circumstances that the expeditionary fleet of the Golden Skull Alliance sought to make difference wherever possible.
