Just as they were speaking, two more auxiliary engines were hit.
Hassen went completely numb. The Silver Moon Pirate Gang was far too formidable. From such a distance, they could actually hit the auxiliary engines with such precision.
The diameter of an auxiliary engine's energy exhaust nozzle was only ten meters.
The distance between the two sides was now roughly six million kilometers.
Yet from that distance, they could accurately strike the auxiliary engines.
Moreover, Hassen knew that if a C-Class Battleship's Energy Cannons fired at full power, they could instantly blow apart the auxiliary engines without giving them any chance to enter protection mode!

From such a distance, they had directly blasted two Main Engines and four auxiliary engines into protection mode.
From that alone, the officers and soldiers knew the enemy had been telling the truth.

Most of the funds allocated for training thus ended up
