"Indeed. That evasion method was practically cheating."
Wu Baiyi agreed.
"But in a large-scale battle, or when using area-of-effect weapons,
the Mist Butterfly Civilization's warships would be greatly restricted."
Xu Zhenzhi added.
"That's why the Mist Butterfly Civilization has never fought us in a large-scale head-on battle in this extraterritorial battlefield.
They've always used harassment tactics."
Mada summed up.
"If I were a senior officer at the Forward Base, I'd be frustrated too, facing an opponent like this.
The main reason is that the special environment of this region of space is simply perfect for the Mist Butterfly Civilization to exploit its strengths."
Wang Dong said with a smile.
The Mist Butterfly Civilization's warships had indeed proved as difficult to deal with as the intelligence reports had indicated.
But after seeing them with his own eyes,
Wang Dong felt much more at ease.
If that was all they could do,
then these Mist Butterfly Civilization warships were no threat at all to the Sky Peng Horizontal.
Only with their safety assured
could they officially prioritize plans to earn more merit points.
"Proceed according to plan."
They watched for a while longer.
The situation on the battlefield hadn't changed much.
The Wide Area Silencer was still enduring the Mist Butterfly fleet's assault
while actively attempting to counterattack.
But neither side had achieved the results they wanted.
The Mist Butterfly fleet couldn't pose a real threat to the Wide Area Silencer's shield.
The Wide Area Silencer, in turn, couldn't hit the highly maneuverable Mist Butterfly warships.
This situation
didn't change much
even after the Dark Dragon Cavalry joined the battle.
As the fighting continued,
both the Wide Area Silencer and the Dark Dragon Cavalry deployed area-of-effect weapons.
It was perfectly normal for a Star Destroyer to carry one or two area-of-effect weapons.
