With this formation, they were almost inevitably exposing the largest possible surface area to the Lingfeng Empire's firepower.
At the same time, they had lost the chance to retreat inside the formation after taking too much damage, shelter behind the other shield ships, and restore their shield durability!
Even though these shield ships had all been specially modified to strengthen their defenses as much as possible, and were supported by advanced energy shield technology that effectively slowed the loss of shield durability,

The energy shields of these shield ships were still losing their durability at a speed visible to the naked eye!
