Perhaps Luo had spotted that warship too late. He had no time at all to warn the people inside the satellite that enemies had appeared. When a red beam erupted from a warship that differed from the Archangel only in color and bridge antennae, Luo did not even have time to make any further response in the Lightning Aegis. All he could do was break out in a cold sweat as he watched the positron cannon blast race toward the satellite's harbor.
"We're done for, there's no time!" Luo was shocked, and even more astonished that the enemy had appeared in a place like this.
The red beam flew straight toward the satellite harbor, clearly intending to cause maximum damage. Even if it failed to hit the warships docked within the harbor, as long as it destroyed the harbor itself, the collapsing structure would turn the ships inside into trapped prey, eventually becoming space debris along with this abandoned satellite.
If Bargyll had been aboard the Second Archangel for this attack, she definitely would have held back and directed the shot at the satellite's outer shell, giving the ships and personnel inside time to react. But Bargyll had already become the captain of the Dawn, a sister ship of the Kusanagi, so naturally she could not have been aboard the Second Archangel.
Just as the red beam was about to crash into the harbor, at that critical moment, two machines flashing with green light shot out from opposite sides of the satellite like twin meteors, trailing white and green behind them. Both machines became green cocoons of light, while more than a dozen smaller green points flew from them and positioned themselves even farther ahead.
On the screen of the Lightning Aegis he was piloting, Luo saw the Black Astray
