Battle of Vilsert (25)

"Hmph, if you can still break through this, then I really should wonder whether the Zilun Empire sold us counterfeit goods!"

A disdainful voice from Selter echoed through the command center of the battle star.

"Main cannon charging at 20%. Charging will be complete in seven seconds!"

"Good. The moment charging is complete, fire immediately. Coordinates 112-6145!"

"Yes, General. Charging at 35%—General, the human fleet directly ahead is constructing a Dark Energy Matrix!"

"Damn it, so that's what they're planning!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Selter immediately understood their plan. They intended to link the attacks of different fleets seamlessly, leaving him no gaps to launch an attack.

But even if you do everything possible to limit my attacks, have you forgotten something else?

"Stop charging the main cannon. Readjust all Dark Energy transmission channels and maintain the energy supply to the Dark Energy Shield activation system!"

"At the same time, inform the fleet to ignore us and attack the human defenses with everything they have!"

Selter swung his right hand sharply and shouted the order, his eyes filled with icy resolve.

Setting aside whether they could ultimately break the battle star's Dark Energy Shield, merely sustaining such continuous attacks would be difficult. The surrounding Ninth Order warships might be able to endure it, but how many consecutive attacks could the fleet directly ahead, which relied on Dark Energy Users to drive its attacks, launch?

Although Ninth Order warships had many weaknesses compared to warships whose attacks were truly driven by Dark Energy Users, there was one aspect in which the latter could not compare. No, more accurately, before one reached the level of a Ninth Order Dark Energy User—the Federation's S-rank Dark Energy User—they would be far inferior to Ninth Order warships in this regard.

That was combat endurance!
