To turn the unfavorable situation around, they first had to destroy at least one of the enemy's two firepower platforms: the Long-Lived One or the Combined Warship.
Only then could they break Nie Yun's advantage in long-range firepower and reduce their fleet's casualties when closing in to fire.
However, the Long-Lived One was currently absorbing the supplies he had just received to rapidly heal his injuries. He also served as a hangar and supply point for the mecha army, keeping a low profile in the rear as he supported the battle.
The Long-Lived One, the Water of Life, and the remnants of the Kara Civilization inside him were all immensely valuable to Nie Yun. They belonged at the very top of his protection priorities, so naturally, he would first minimize the risk of the Long-Lived One coming under attack.
This made the Combined Warship built around the Sea Wolf stand out all the more. If Twin Stars wanted to attack the Long-Lived One in the rear, they first had to face this formidable "Death Revolver."
After observing the battlefield, Ishar had finally realized that the main cannons of the Houyi-class warships were indeed formidable, and the increase in their power after combining was even more terrifying.
