The two armed merchant ships quickly prepared to launch but didn't blindly take off.
The two captains were very experienced and first asked the ground if there was an opportunity to take off.
The ground didn't give a formal response; instead, someone shouted hoarsely, "Fierce firepower, be careful!"
This wave of assault indeed came too fiercely and suddenly.
In total, six starships attacked not only five fortresses but also knocked out the tower.
The tower was not only responsible for directing takeoffs and landings but also the communication hub of the star body, capable of sending information externally.
The tower's defense wasn't bad, but it ultimately wasn't a war fortress; it was riddled with holes at first strike and eventually collapsed.
The five fortresses were much harder to crack, especially since they were prepared, with strong defenses from the start that rapidly escalated after the attack.
