As Mo Tuo gradually approached the orbital defense platform, something unexpected happened. The plasma orbital cannon, which had fiercely resisted the combat engineers' control, suddenly seemed to become much more docile.
When Mo Tuo stepped inside the orbital defense platform, he saw that the plasma orbital cannon, which had previously remained completely motionless, had begun slowly turning its massive barrel under the combat engineers' efforts.
Unfortunately, even after Mo Tuo entered the orbital defense platform, the plasma orbital cannon only completed half of its turn and refused to rotate any further. No matter how the combat engineers operated it, nothing worked.
Mo Tuo's eyes widened as he stared at the unbelievable scene before him.
After he approached the plasma orbital cannon, the weapon that had been completely motionless actually turned half a circle with ease under the combat engineers' control!
This sudden change left Mo Tuo utterly stunned. He subconsciously rubbed his chin, brows tightly furrowed as he sank into deep thought.
"What exactly is going on?" Mo Tuo murmured, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Although the plasma orbital cannon had successfully turned halfway, it was still clearly far from the ideal position for attacking the Adeptus Mechanicus warships. Its firing arc was severely insufficient, leaving it unable to strike their vessels.
Even more strangely, after Mo Tuo approached, the enormous plasma cannon—which had previously gone out of control in the combat engineers' hands and fired continuously—also stopped attacking under their control. Its entire massive frame became as quiet as a sleeping beast.
Aishiliya, who had followed Mo Tuo inside, was staring at the corpses strewn across the defense platform.
She recalled the scene when they had first stormed in. Several hundred Servitors had surrounded the plasma orbital cannon, devoutly chanting binary prayers while completely ignoring everyone's attacks.
