The Ancient Class curled into triangular shapes. Their soft, boneless bodies allowed them to assume all manner of postures with ease. They formed polyhedrons and floated at the very forefront of the battle line, neither charging nor attacking, existing purely as obstacles.

Their unique bodily structure, combined with their newly upgraded energy-reduction biological shields, allowed Ancient Class units in this defensive posture to withstand even one or two blasts from an Epoch Clan warship's Dark Energy Main Cannon.

However, once they reached their limit, their shattered bodies and the dispersed dark energy would soon become energy and materials for nearby allies to repair themselves.

Though this repair rate was slow, under such massive-scale conditions, it was still quite impressive.

The Inner Circle Alliance fleet sheltered behind the Ancient Class units was mostly crewed by green recruits. Yet with the likelihood of being attacked reduced to an extremely low level, they quickly adapted to this dangerous battlefield environment.

Their return fire was just as ferocious, while the Epoch Clan had shields of its own. Countless Unmanned Fighters flew out from their hangars.
