"Lock on. Fire!"
Matrix's voice remained as cold as ever. But as its words fell, Merlin's Empire-Class Warship suddenly unleashed more than a dozen dazzling beams of light.
The massive beams pierced through the void, brilliant beyond measure. They struck the Fortress Cannon first, and the combined might of more than a dozen beams was truly terrifying.
