The ship Bangula was piloting nominally belonged to Reynolds. Reynolds enjoyed tremendous prestige on the StarNet, but unlike Manu, he wasn't a high-ranking military official. He therefore hadn't felt comfortable outfitting his personal ship with firepower on par with a military battleship.

At full charge, a single shot from either A-rank cannon could tear apart a standard-sized colonial city.
That firepower was nowhere near the level of a combat-oriented Calamity-class esper, but it was still more than a normal S+ esper could withstand.
So when Bai Fu suddenly stepped into the firing path of the two A-rank cannons, Sesia, Fei Ye, An Ya, the passersby drawn by the commotion, StarNet officials, and the players watching the livestream all felt their hearts leap into their throats.
