Judging by their position, that should be the Imperial fleet engaging the automated turret array Yu Lian had deployed between the two armies.
The battle was certainly fierce, but Yu Lian couldn't help feeling that something was off.
He had deployed more than ten thousand automated turrets of various models along the fortress's front line, arranged in a fan shape across twenty-five zones. If the enemy truly wanted to break through the turret array, their best bet would be to attack with their entire force.
Was this just a probing attack? Yu Lian made that assessment. But as the commander in chief, he shouldn't make rash judgments.
