Chapter 178: Chapter 49: The Reavers Regroup

The cacophony of battle surrounded Ethan, Lillith, Tazra, and the EDF defenders as they held the line along the city walls of Sythor's capital. Each moment felt like an eternity, the relentless advance of the Reaver forces threatening to overrun the defenses at any second. The roar of blaster fire and the hum of Radiansabers mixed with the shouting of soldiers, creating an atmosphere charged with intensity and desperation.

A Reaver drone lunged toward Ethan, its dark, armored body gleaming in the harsh sunlight as it fired a volley of plasma shots in his direction. Ethan dropped to one knee, his Radiansaber flashing upward in a swift arc, deflecting the shots back at the drone. The drone staggered, sparks flying from its damaged hull before it collapsed, a smoking heap on the ground.

"Keep pushing them back!" Ethan shouted over the chaos, his voice a rallying cry for the soldiers around him. "If they breach this wall, it's over for everyone inside!"
