Seeing this, Solam immediately hurried over to the orbital cannon!
"Charge the orbital cannon! I'm giving those bastards another shot!"
Watching the giant beasts charge toward them, Solam felt it would be much simpler and more straightforward to blast them with the orbital cannon again!
But when Solam placed his hand on the orbital cannon, Diatz beside him said awkwardly, "I think I need to tell you something..."
"Can't it wait?" The enemy was already upon them. Solam truly could not understand why this woman was still dragging things out at a time like this.
"Something's wrong with the orbital cannon!" Facts proved that mages were rarely chatterboxes. Other than their experiments, they pursued efficiency in everything. Diatz summed up the problem in a single sentence.
"Oh... huh?" Solam did not react at first, but then his mouth fell open as he stared at Diatz.
"That's what I wanted to tell you. Last time, when you activated the orbital cannon, you set it to maximum output. The cannon overloaded." To make Solam believe her, Diatz explained the cause as well.
Hearing that, Solam immediately recalled yesterday's earth-shaking explosion. Indeed, its power had been far too absurd. Thinking about it now, it really might have overloaded.
"...Then how much power does this thing have left?" After a brief silence, Solam quickly asked.
"Around ten percent. Part of its structure was damaged by the overload, so we cannot accurately estimate how much of its power remains. Also, we can't raise its energy output back to ten percent, because that could easily trigger another overload."
Diatz spoke again without expression.
"Fuck it! No matter! Those beasts are already here. Ten percent is ten percent—it's enough!"
With that, Solam began operating the orbital cannon. Diatz said nothing more, merely arranging for the
