If the goal was to engage in a boarding battle,
then they could do so once the energy shield had been destroyed.
Even the armor's resilience layer and the armor itself, both in perfect condition, couldn't completely stop specialized landing craft from breaking in.
However, the presence of the last two layers of the Defense System would inevitably pose a considerable obstacle to the side initiating the boarding action.
To say nothing of anything else, the landing craft alone would inevitably suffer numerous non-contact casualties while forcing their way in and attempting to enter the Royal Ark.
For example, they could be sniped by the Royal Ark's shipborne weapons!
The dense web of fire formed by the secondary guns, which were especially effective against aerial targets, was the natural nemesis of relatively small, lightly armored vessels like landing craft!
So under normal circumstances, merely destroying the Royal Ark's energy shield wouldn't be enough.
The Sky Peng Horizontal would patiently wait until it had destroyed at least the Royal Ark's energy shield and armor resilience layer, the first two layers of its Defense System, and inflicted some damage on the final layer, the armor itself. Only after opening up a ready-made breach would it launch a boarding operation.
However, Shi Zunhou's Double Strike effect had just now greatly shortened this step.
Just like the first pale cyan beam, which had crushed the Royal Ark's energy shield,
the second pale cyan beam had likewise pierced straight through the Royal Ark's armor resilience layer with effortless ease!
It had also inflicted damage of varying severity on the Royal Ark's third layer of defense, its armor itself!
Although not a single breach had yet pierced all the way through the armor,
anyone could see that under these circumstances, it was nearly impossible for the
