Chapter 507: Encirclement
After the coalition forces in the LKDW262 Star System had largely unified their stance, they quickly organized their defenses. However, it was already too late.
The surging tide of the Swarm had already destroyed three layers of orbital defense systems. These relatively outdated, low-powered, and immobile fixed defense facilities were systematically picked off and obliterated by the Primordial-class units.
The outermost Moto colony had also fallen, and the Moto inhabitants within had lost contact, their fate unknown.
With no other choice, tens of millions of warships from various races gathered in the outer orbit of LKDW262’s habitable planet, hoping to rely on the strongest orbital defense system here for one last stand.
“Has there been any response to our call for reinforcements?”
“Sir, the frontlines have received the message. General Difeck replied that the frontlines are under heavy pressure, and the troops are too entangled to disengage. However, he has managed to withdraw the Moto fleet and send them back to assist.”
The commander nodded. The situation on the frontlines was being reported in real-time, and it was indeed as Difeck had described—they were in a difficult position. Sending the Moto fleet back was likely the best they could do, and it was unreasonable to demand more.
However, the Moto fleet’s warp technology was acquired on credit, and they only had the most basic version. Although the frontlines were only 0.2 light-years away from LKDW262, it would still take them at least two to three months to return. Moreover, given their combat capabilities, even if they did return, how much they could contribute was questionable. There wasn’t much to expect from them.
“What about the other fronts?”
