The enemy kept bombarding King Maxim's 300 million combat power, but the more they bombarded them, the faster their own warships' energy reserves depleted.
Meanwhile, the enemy only had a few hundred million combat power.
Yet under the concentrated fire of 300 billion combat power, they remained completely unharmed.
No matter how the allied forces bombarded the shield barriers they had deployed, they could not inflict even the slightest damage.
This bizarre situation left the commanders of the 300 billion-combat-power fleet utterly dumbfounded.
"Something's wrong!!"
"There's something strange about these enemies with 300 million combat power! Something seriously strange!"
Several fleet commanders hastily convened an emergency meeting and exchanged the intelligence they had gathered.
As well as the abnormalities they had noticed.
"Every Star Destroyer Mothership is reporting that its energy reserves are plummeting! Some warships have even fallen below the warning threshold! That's impossible!"
"We deliberately traveled at low speed the entire way here and conserved energy wherever we could! Even in combat, there's no way our energy resources should be draining this fast!"
"Exactly! And you all saw it yourselves—the enemy force with 300 million combat power is just letting us bombard them, yet we can't destroy them no matter how hard we attack!"
"We've fought across the stars for tens of millions of years. When have we ever encountered something like this? Forget 300 million combat power—even 3 billion or 30 billion! We have 300 billion combat power firing at once! Under normal circumstances, the enemy should have been reduced to ashes by the first concentrated barrage!"
"Yes, this is far too abnormal! There's something wrong with their shields!!"
"We can't keep this up. We must retreat immediately and figure out how to deal with these enemies afterward!"
After some discussion, the commanders decided to begin withdrawing.
