While the Eternity, an Endless-class Super Carrier, effortlessly suppressed the Xylosian fleet's two battlecruisers, the other five Steadfast-class Cruisers and four Twinblade-class EW light cruisers were also engaging the Xilu people's remaining warships.
Once the fighting began, it became obvious that, just as "Engineer" Haseck had said, the gap in energy levels meant that these Xilu warships were simply no match for them.
The Steadfast-class Cruisers' hypermatter electromagnetic cannons were devastating on this battlefield! Facing them were the Xylosian fleet's 400-meter cruisers and 300-meter light cruisers. Though there were nearly twenty of those ships, neither their firepower nor their shields could compare to the Steadfast-class.
Moreover, the four Twinblade-class EW light cruisers were providing fire support even as they deployed their electronic jamming fields.
And the Eternity was hardly just for show. During the battle, its 700 turbolaser cannons and 400 missile launch arrays could not all fire at the same target simultaneously, so every salvo was aimed at the best targets within each turret's firing arc.
Less than ten minutes after the battle began, aside from the battlecruiser that had been instantly destroyed at the outset, the Xylosian fleet had lost another five 400-meter cruisers and four 300-meter cruisers. Its remaining battlecruiser had also suffered severe damage and was retreating in panic.
Yet at the same time, the Duchy of Dawn Exploration Fleet noticed something unusual about the Xylosian fleet.
First, the Twinblade-class EW light cruisers' electronic jamming fields were strangely ineffective! After the jamming was activated, the Xylosian fleet showed no signs of falling into disarray. On the contrary, they still maintained their basic formation.
Although that formation had nearly been shattered, it was the result of the Exploration Fleet's warships' powerful firepower, not electronic interference. Their ships seemed able to maintain basic communications even under jamming.
Then
