Now was not the time to put on a brave front. Orphee immediately ordered the Rudras that still had combat capability to continue fighting.
"Yes!"
Working together with the Dragoon Terminals, the Black Knight squad began attacking Strike Freedom.
The beams rained down like a violent storm.
Yet Strike Freedom was like a storm petrel weaving through a tempest, nimbly evading the unending beam attacks.

"Damn it!"
