The strong wind from the warship's engines kicked up rolling heat waves, sweeping across the vast wilderness.
Feeling the hot wind hitting his face, the Middle-aged Military Officer looked grave. Facing the nervous gazes of the soldiers around him, the Middle-aged Military Officer glanced around carefully, found the right moment, and suddenly spoke:
"Do not be afraid!"
"They can fly, but they definitely can't take a hit!"
Soldiers and officers: "???"
They glared at him, their eyes filled with extreme, speechless anger:
"Why won't you stop already?!"
Although the soldiers were annoyed, they probably also knew that once the warship flew over, the ordinary soldiers might have a chance of survival, but they, as the leaders, would definitely die. The officers looked at each other and finally gritted their teeth and stood up.
However, compared to the Middle-aged Military Officer's somewhat manic expression, these lower-ranking officers were still relatively normal.
Facing the speechless soldiers below, the officers dared not use bloody suppression, but instead used the gentlest tone possible:
"We are rebels; the other side will definitely not let us go. Regardless of whether it works or not, everyone should at least fire a shot first."
They offered gentle reassurances, and what they said did indeed make sense.
The soldiers below looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and pushed out the anti-aircraft weapons.
Yet, faced with this anti-aircraft firepower that could barely even be considered toothpicks in front of the warship, let alone the officers, even the soldiers who had seriously compared their own artillery to the enemy warship only had eyes full of doubt, subconsciously looking toward the Middle-aged Military Officer.
"Will this work?"
Their eyes asked the question, and seeing the soldiers finally paying attention to him, the Middle-aged Military Officer suddenly stood up, 'confidence' appearing on his face once again.
"Do not be afraid!"
Before he could finish speaking, the soldiers just heard these three words and withdrew their gazes.
At the same time, their faces showed a sense of resignation, as if they already knew the answer.
Since the prophet has spoken, we definitely can't damage them.
Watching the warship getting closer and closer, it was only the fear of not knowing whether the enemy would spare their lives that still sustained the soldiers.
When the warship reached firing range, the soldiers exchanged one last look and gritted their teeth to fire their artillery.
A dense barrage roared toward the warship, which resembled a flying fortress.
Then, under the tense gaze of the crowd, the scene of Bolter fire blasting large chunks of debris from the hull did not occur.
Instead, there appeared an oval shield that suddenly lit up, its light so dazzling that it dyed the entire sky deep blue, enveloping the entire hull!
It was so blinding that the rebels subconsciously closed their eyes and ducked their heads in a panic, while wondering in their hearts: is it reasonable for a sword-class frigate's shield power to be this strong?
As the rebels mentally ranted, confirming that the enemy could not only fly but also had terrifyingly strong shields, the Middle-aged Military Officer was completely unable to speak. He could only stare blankly at the warship gradually flying over, and some of the secondary guns on it that were still usable slowly rotating their muzzles to aim at the ground.
Meanwhile, inside the warship, Ana was frantically leading a group of crew members with two and a half minutes of training time to adjust various parameters.
Sith waited for the shield's light to dissipate before slightly opening his eyes, somewhat speechless:
"Is the shield strength really this strong at only twenty percent power?"
Sith complained speechlessly, while Bruno didn't understand at all, his face showing only pride.
Ana was busy adjusting parameters based on the actual situation; meanwhile, only Yuwa and Davi Luo were shocked to the extreme.
Not to mention how exaggerated it was for a sword-class frigate's shield strength to reach this level.
