Chapter 1576: Chapter 893: Savior of the Saint

Another orbital defense platform of the Guard Star lted into molten iron amidst the Chaos fla in Subspace.

Raymond Vis gazed through the porthole at the orbital defense line collapsing in the Chaos onslaught.

What else could he say?

Only a long sigh.

“Prepare yourselves, we are breaking through.” He issued the command.

The reactions varied.

So were in disbelief, so questioned:

“Are we going to abandon the Guard Star?!”

This was not an easy decision to accept.

Guarding the Guard Star, from a macro perspective, had been ongoing for decades; from the present viewpoint, this Chaos invasion had lasted seven months. Though the battle was tough, honestly, the enemy’s strength compared to many past crises faced by the Guard Star was only moderate.

So many past dangers had been overco, what’s there to fear about this not-so-severe one?

The main reason the Guard Star’s garrison decided to call for reinforcents was primarily due to dwindling resources, and the diminished forces over the seven months of battle.

However, they were confident that once supplies were normalized, they could repel this not-so-intense Chaos invasion without any problem.

Everything was unfolding as the garrison anticipated.

Reinforcents did co, led by Raymond Vis himself, the Battle Group Leader of the Saints Battle Group, known as the ‘Master of Rift’ who had steadfasted the Corridor Worlds with the people.

With this, what problem could there possibly be in winning the upcoming war?

Therefore, when Raymond Vis issued the command to break through, which was practically equivalent to abandoning the Guard Star, it was incredibly hard for them to accept.

But in reality, more people accepted Raymond Vis’s orders.

Because they truly could not hold out any longer.

This ti, although the invading enemy was not much stronger than before, with Raymond Vis’s support, they might win, but what about next ti?

For rcifat to assemble the full force of a single Star Domain to resist for thirty years was already the limit.

Indeed, the enemy had not grown stronger, but the ho forces growing weaker was an irreversible reality.

The days of supplies arriving on demand and depleted military quotas being quickly replenished were gone for good.

Yet, the situation at the Guard Star was deteriorating.

Not only were Chaos Army waves from the Scarlet Scar t in succession, but internally, this world of over two billion people faced nurous internal disasters.

Its proximity to the Scarlet Scar was too close, leading to endless chaos corruption. This not only sparked many cult and rebel issues but also unleashed large-scale supernatural plagues.

The Nagor plague, which turned people into zombies and spread further; the Terror Demon plague, which drove people insane and bloodthirsty, both were terrifying.

And the cults of indulgence and conspiracy must be under the influence of other Subspace Powerhouses.

These issues were so severe that they actually tied up half of the defensive forces and severely crippled the Guard Star’s own economic productivity.

Apart from Chaos threats, there was also the threat of Aliens. The Guard Star struggled for thirty years to eradicate the Green Skins but never succeeded; they killed many so-called patient zeroes and patriarchs, but the parasitic infection swarm always resurged…

The population of twenty billion before the war decreased to just six billion over the thirty years.

Severe economic destruction ant they could not even supply the army’s needs, instead requiring food allocation from outside to sustain the planet.

The Guard Star was undoubtedly a huge burden.

It wasn’t just the Guard Star; the entire Corridor’s seven worlds were the sa.

However, the Guard Star bore the brunt.

The problems here were the most severe, and it was also the farthest from the Saints’ base, rcifat.

Before the Catastrophe Era, a journey with seven Star Realm Tunnel crossings was nothing; half a month or a month’s voyage would suffice. After the Catastrophe Era, risks sharply increased, but for the Saints Battle Group, who could quickly unite an entire Star Domain, it was still acceptable, not too problematic.

However, the key here was the ‘Corridor,’ crossing the Scarlet Scar, making the navigation difficulty ten tis higher than usual.

The difficulty of sending reinforcents from rcifat to the Guard Star could be easily imagined.

They had attempted to reclaim so human worlds on the Dark Side of the Empire and the Guard Star’s side to support the Guard Star.

Yet, that still equated to an expedition across the ‘Corridor.’

The difficulty remained imnse.

Several worlds were opened but were hard to maintain and eventually lost. The entire operation resulted in not just failing to ease the pressure or bring benefits, but even greater losses.

As the rcifat Star Domain beca increasingly exploited and difficult to bear, leading to so rebellions not even influenced by Chaos but purely due to over-exploitation, Raymond Vis had no choice but to make this hard decision.

His aim in personally leading the main force to the Guard Star was not just pure support or relief but also to personally lead an effort to recover as much as possible of the past three decades’ investnts from the Guard Star.
