The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5169

Different from the dour and depressing proposal presented by the Xenotechnician, the alternative presented by the Mace of Retaliation made many of the attendees excited!

The thought of modifying the greater beyonder gate to launch daring deep strike raids to the hinterland of alien space caused everyone to become hot-blooded!

Why should red humans bow down to reality and seek to compromise with their enemies?

Wouldn't it be better to maintain their principles and retaliate against the aliens in the most effective way possible?

This was exactly the kind of plan that a fearless and domineering god pilot would come up with! It was a way for red humanity to fight against the aliens on its terms.

Ves could already see that much of the younger people in the crowd had become swayed by the bold and unrelenting vision of the Fist of Defiance. Their blood ran so hot that they could not wait to contribute to this enormous undertaking!

However, when Ves briefly turned his head to the rear, he could see that many of the older and more level-headed figures did not get caught up in the excitement.

They showed a considerable amount of restraint. This was not the first time in their lives that they heard an exciting pitch from another person.

All too often, wide-eyed hopefuls made a lot of claims, only to discover that they were unable to back up their promises.

Scams were still far too prevalent in modern times.

The Mace of Retaliation most definitely captured everyone's interest with his pitch. Now was the time for him to back up his words so that he could convince enough mechers that his grandfather's plan was viable.

The ace pilot pointed towards the greater beyonder gate. "It will not be easy to implement this strategy. The most essential condition is to successfully modify our greater beyonder gate to connect to portals that are generated thousands of light-years away from Bridgehead One. We are told that even if every Star Designer and other relevant experts unite to work on this project, it will likely take years before we can commence our first deep strike operations."

That... sounded a lot less pleasant to everyone. The hot-headed individuals began to cool a bit now that they became confronted by practical problems.

"It is not a problem for us to wait for several years." The Mace of Retaliation assured everyone. "The native alien warships are slow to move, so our frontlines will not break so soon. It is actually better to give them time to journey in our direction. That will empty the enemy hinterland even further, which means that they are considerably easier for us to plunder and raze."

That was right, but there were still plenty more questions related to the act of tampering with the greater beyonder gate.

The ace pilot schooled his expression. "I can see that enough of you have concerns of what all of this work will do to our greater beyonder gate. I will not lie to you all about this. It is an exceedingly intricate marvel of human technology. The modifications needed to connect to portals across many zones will disable its original purpose. It can no longer connect to its original counterpart that is located in the Maryun Ultimate System of the Milky Way Galaxy. This change may or may not be permanent, but it is better to assume the worst."

That caused an even heavier cloud to form over everyone's heads.

On paper, nothing would actually change for anyone in the foreseeable future if the greater beyonder gate broke. It was not as if it was working in the first place ever since the Great Severing occurred.

However, its continued existence gave everyone a safety blanket of sorts. So long as it remained available in its current form, there was always a chance for either branches of humanity to develop a breakthrough that could enable them to successfully bridge a distance of 50 million light-years!

Transforming one of these crucial gates did not make it impossible for red humanity to make their way back to the Milky Way somehow.

It made it a lot harder, though. Perhaps doing this would rule out any possibility for the people alive today to ever return to their galaxy of origin within their lifetimes!

The Mace of Retaliation did not appear to care about this. He crossed his arms and sent challenging stares into the crowd.

"What? Are you afraid of breaking this useless metal ring? Rather than letting this broken piece of tech rot in space, it is better for us to repurpose it so that we can actually get at least some use out of it again! Forgot about returning to the Milky Way. All we need is a device that can quickly send our strike forces to the deepest and most undefended regions of alien space! This is much more attainable in our current situation, and it also happens to be useful. If we want to give every human additional motivation to fight to the end, then let us cut off this illusionary escape route so that no one will vainly hope that our cousins in the Milky Way will come to our rescue!"

Wow. That was a brutal message. Ves could see the logic in it, but he still felt reluctant to think about any irreversible changes to the greater beyonder gate.

"Once we complete the transformation of the gate, we must protect it to the best of our abilities." The Mace of Retaliation added. "Once the damage produced by our deep strike operations begin to disturb the aliens, they will do whatever it takes to take it down. We must not let them have their way. We must strengthen the defenses at Bridgehead One and prevent any conceivable enemy from destroying the only device that can save our race." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

He was right. The phase whales would probably do anything in their power to somehow bridge the enormous distance and strike directly at the gate if possible!

Red humanity needed to fortify the star system and garrison a lot of warships and mechs that could have otherwise been used to defend the frontlines.

In fact, one of the most serious downsides to the plan proposed by the Fist of Defiance was that humanity needed to spread out its forces!
