The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7519

Chapter 7519: Playing Our Own Game

The time had come for the human intruders to break down the current impasse.

Yet how they should go about solving the problem was a delicate matter.

They had managed to make a lot of scattered observations, but the bigger picture still remained woefully incomplete.

The data that they had gathered up to this point only clarified a few points, but brought up a lot of new ones as well.

It was very easy for commanders to get lost in this mixed sea of clarity and ignorance.

Every incomplete pattern hinted at a greater conclusion, yet these hints never represented the absolute truth.

Too many variables remained obscured behind the fog of war for any of them to figure out the true strategy employed by their adversaries.

If they had more time, then the combined fleet could have spent more time on conducting reconnaissance and performing detailed analysis on all of the gathered data.

Unfortunately, time was very much against their side.

They were stranded in a miasma-filed star system that had fallen under the control of the mysterious deathborn.

This not only meant that they were burning through scarce resources at a much higher rate than usual, but with each day that passed, enemy reinforcements might arrive from afar.

The red humans needed to cut through the fog and put an end to the schemes of the hostile aliens.

Whatever the deathborn were up to, many people doubted that the results would benefit human civilization!

This placed Saint Commander Casella Ingvar in a very difficult position.

She had never been put into a situation as pivotal as now.

Depending on the scope and investment of the enemy’s plans, her judgment may very well shake the course of history of the Red Ocean and all of the races that inhabited it in the present and future!

To be put in such a focal node of galactic historical progression could break any lesser human individual.

Of course, an ace commander would never fail to discharge her responsibilities in such a situation.

Her willpower, though different from a regular ace pilot, was still strong in its own right.

In fact, Casella believed that out of every mortal or saint in the combined fleet, only she had the greatest chance to make the right decision at this historical junction.

Because she was confident in her ability to strategize better than anyone else.

Time was not their side.

She could not waste too many minutes on tedious analysis and reflection. She had to absorb all of the data and conclusions currently on hand and formulate a response right away.

"We are caught in a trap." She quickly summarized her thoughts. "Yet the true pitfalls are not obvious. The deployment of the energy vortices has not only caused us to become stuck in place, but also threatens to engulf our fleet in an incremental fashion through creating and exploiting faults in our energy fields. We must break them if we want to stabilize our fleet and resume our movement. Remaining static is a dead end."

"I strongly agree, Ves." Casella backed him up. "There is no certainty that the most obvious course of action will cause us to fall to the enemy’s ruse, but the consequences are too great. My intuition cannot detect any powerful threats in the vicinity, but my judgment tells me that the deathborn would never commit to an ambush if their goal was merely to delay our approach. Even without any solid proof, I believe we are absolutely at risk of losing our ace mechs or even our flagship if we recklessly choose to split our forces. It is times like these when it is all the more important to keep our assets together."
