Thousands of shots were fired, and the vast majority were absorbed by that enormous shield.
With the Abyss Eye's high-precision sensors,
everyone aboard the Sky Peng Horizontal could clearly see
that when the Mist Butterfly Civilization's warships' attacks struck the shield,
they barely had any effect at all!
The little damage they caused was negligible compared to the shield's thickness!
Only the heavy bombardment from those asteroid fortresses
could leave deep marks on the shield.
And only a handful of heavy shots striking the same spot could punch through it,
then hit the Star Destroyers sheltering behind it.
Even so,
those shots, like arrows at the end of their flight,
were no threat to the Star Destroyers' Defense Systems.
The next moment,
no extra orders were needed.
As soon as the first wave of concentrated fire from the Mist Butterfly Civilization's wormhole defense line—the most intense wave—came to an end,
the sixteen Star Destroyers that had been sheltering behind the shield
suddenly emerged from behind it like tigers descending from the mountains!
They didn't group together.
Instead, they quickly scattered!
This was to avoid being hit by large-scale concentrated fire.
Outnumbered and facing an overwhelming numerical disadvantage,
with an asteroid fortress group bristling with heavy firepower arrayed against them,
trying to hold their ground in some kind of small squad formation
would be nothing short of suicide.
Judging by appearances, the shield could withstand at least a few more volleys.
But the Kindling Human Civilization still needed to hold out for at least three days
before the next wave of reinforcements arrived.
Simply holding the exit of the wormhole passage
would be meaningless!
Every Star Destroyer present understood this.
At the same time,
they understood even better
what their most urgent task was!
Under Wang Dong's admiring gaze,
