That kept the Puppet Mother Tree's sudden "planetary plasma cannonball" attack from breaking through the Sky Peng Horizontal's Defense System in one fell swoop!
After the Sky Peng Horizontal spent more than ten minutes putting some distance between itself and the Puppet Mother Tree,
it had enough time to react.
The Puppet Mother Tree's accuracy began to drop noticeably!
Seeing this,
the Puppet Mother Tree finally stopped using this "hurt the enemy by a thousand, but yourself by eight hundred" method of attack.
On the surface, the Sky Peng Horizontal looked a little worse for wear.
But in reality, the Puppet Mother Tree had expended dozens of high-grade Puppet War Stars.
The Sky Peng Horizontal, meanwhile, only needed to wait a few minutes for its Shield Durability to fully recover.
It was obvious who had come out ahead!
"Nicely done!"
Wang Dong praised him without reservation.
Wu Baiyi's face was slightly pale, but he didn't take credit. He smiled faintly. "It was just my job."
Although the Puppet Mother Tree had fought back fiercely,
the Sky Peng Horizontal didn't stop attacking.
Wu Baiyi took a break for the time being, and other helmsmen took over.
They weren't as skilled as Wu Baiyi, but they were all elite pilots selected from the territory's Fleet 793.
Keeping a sufficient distance and coordinating with Shi Zunhou for long-range bombardment was well within their abilities.
The Puppet Mother Tree released a vast quantity of puppet spores, which absorbed the power of the bombardment, inevitably reducing its effectiveness.
Still, the attacks at least ensured that the Puppet Mother Tree couldn't heal the wounds it had already sustained, and that its outer layer continued to wear away!
Though the erosion was nowhere near as fast as when Wu Baiyi had piloted the ship at close range,
