Although everyone was thrown into chaos, my orders were absolute here. So despite their panic, they still relayed the command to use energy waves for the search.
While we waited, the staff officers kept muttering to themselves, feeling that this time was far too bizarre.
"Energy-wave searches... are heavily affected by distance... And if we engage in battle, thermal detection will also be extremely difficult..."
"During combat, everything will be a blur... Our sand table will be blind as well..."
"Exactly. This is bad... If we end up blinding ourselves, it'll be like stabbing out our own eyes..."
"The Qiongtian World is different from the outside. Sonar and radar are the most advanced technologies here... If we use energy waves to search, wouldn't that be... sigh..."
Just as everyone had said, aside from the direction where we were accelerating straight ahead, everything around us—the rear, sky, and both sides—had turned red. After all, once the enemy's numbers increased, the energy-wave detection directly turned the original high-definition sand table into a pile of mosaics. Our mothership was basically a lump of minced meat, with dumpling wrappers covering every side except the front, which still hadn't been sealed. The situation looked extremely dangerous!
"Heh... Just as expected. The Divine Firmament Immortal Lord is indeed an opponent worth fighting. Give the order to prepare for battle! Main cannons, point-defense cannons, and close-range ship-to-ship melee weapons—calibrate them all to face directly forward. For anti-air and anti-ground fire, begin preheating the Sword of Heaven-Suspended Divine Punishment and await my order! Zhao Yu's forces, continue advancing! Do not retreat! Prepare every compartment to withstand impact and counter-impact!" I jabbed my finger toward the front of the warship.
"Still the front? My heavens, my Immortal Venerable..."
"The Sword of Heaven-Suspended Divine Punishment has to be preheated too?
