"Beep. Contact with the Starship within the current protected area has been lost. The Defense System cannot be activated. Currently available attack options: the air defense systems at Military Base 09 and Military Base 11!"
"Current ammunition reserves: 115. Activate?"

Although he held out no hope for these missiles, every second they could buy mattered.
After receiving Ye Lin's confirmation, Zhuanxu displayed interior feeds from the two military bases beside him. At that same moment, the Star Voyager on-screen locked onto their position and pivoted out of his motionless stance.
In an instant, the Star Voyager became a silver afterimage, breaking the sound barrier and streaking across the sky.
