"Could this be the Star Shield Matrix?!" Saint Cana stared at the scene in disbelief.

The Holy Radiance Empire is also researching the Star Shield Matrix technology.

However, miniaturization has not been achieved so far.

It cannot be mounted on a starship, not even the massive T4-class starship.

It can only be installed in some large military starports and fortresses, and together with some surrounding military defense facilities, it can activate a large star shield matrix to play a defensive role.

However, the Holy Radiant Empire is still in the experimental stage and has not yet truly mastered it.

But now, the opposing JF-17 Thunder Legion has actually brought out this kind of technology on the battlefield.

"It looks like that interstellar frigate! It was that interstellar frigate that intercepted our heavy artillery!" the subordinate exclaimed, zooming in on several images.

In these images, a module on the hull of a large interstellar frigate can be seen emitting light; that is clearly the Star Shield device.

And the heavy artillery beams that were just intercepted were all done by these interstellar frigates!

"Get me the data on this interstellar frigate!" Saint Cana said with a grim face.

The subordinate immediately began searching for information, but after a long while, he stammered, "Um... sir, we haven't found any information about this interstellar frigate."

Only before the holy war duel began, the Dragon Slayer Legion reported a name...

Paladin-class Starship...

A name...

Saint Cana's lips twitched slightly.

When this was mentioned, she thought of the Second Battle of the Hundred Ships, during which the Falcon Dragon Legion only announced two names.

Triceratops-class star frigates and Wolverine-class star destroyers.

However, based on subsequent battlefield recaps, they can conclude that these two interstellar warships are definitely not simple.

With such terrifying armor strength, there is no doubt that both of these interstellar warships are equipped with high-strength hull armor of the same level.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them heavy armored interstellar frigates and heavy armored interstellar destroyers!

The Dragon Legion exploited this loophole, making them lower their guard and think it was just an ordinary interstellar warship.

Of course, the main reason is that the JF-17 Legion has too little intelligence data.

The Starry Empire, a lord power that has only risen to prominence in the last two or three years, has experienced very few major wars, not to mention a lack of data on its interstellar warships.

At this moment, another interstellar frigate with no information was placed in front of them, which caused them to suffer a great loss.

"Is that all the intelligence?" Saint Cana stared at her subordinate, her face extremely grim.

She had forgotten how many years it had been since she had been this angry.

The subordinate hurriedly said, "But according to the intelligence data that our data personnel have collected so far..."

We can conclude that this interstellar frigate is actually an interstellar missile frigate, because the missiles that intercept our attacks are short-range but very fast-firing interstellar missiles, coupled with a considerable number of close-in weapon systems.

That's how all of our heavy artillery beams were intercepted!

It is also equipped with the Star Shield Matrix Defense System!

We...we speculate that this might be a T4-class interplanetary missile frigate.

"T4... Heh, now you're telling me this? What was your intelligence gathering work all along?!"

I have eyes myself, and I know all this now! You...

"Alright, step back." Saint Cana was now agitated, her gaze returning to the battlefield.

T4 Starship Missile Frigate...

Saint Cana scanned the battlefield screen and saw the battle formation of the Dragon Legion, her expression growing even more somber.

From what she saw alone, there were thirty of these T4-class interstellar frigates named Paladins!

And that was paired with those twenty T4 Suzaku-class medium-sized star cruisers.

The Dragon Legion actually equipped itself with a full fifty T4-class interstellar warships.

That's significantly more than the thirty T4-class interstellar warships that their Holy Angels Legion possesses.

Furthermore, its performance in all aspects far surpasses that of their interstellar warships.

Even their heavy artillery beams were completely ineffective against the enemy ships.

"Miss Saint Cana".

A male voice rang out at that moment.

It was the voice of the commander of the opposing Dragon Legion.

"Miss Saint Cana has also seen the current situation of the battle."

I might as well speak frankly with Miss Saint Cana: with the Star Shield Matrix deployed by my T4 Star Frigate right now, it wouldn't be a problem for the rest of your Holy Angel Legion's Starships to bombard us for more than ten minutes.

Moreover, you've seen the interception and defense systems of our interstellar frigates. Combined with the harassment from my other interstellar warships, it will take your Holy Angel Legion at least half an hour to break through my Star Shield Matrix.

That half hour is enough time for my T3 Judgement interstellar missile ship to resupply its interstellar missiles and then launch a bombardment of your Holy Angel Legion.

"After that, my entire fleet of interstellar warships will be deployed. There are dozens of ways to annihilate your Holy Angel Legion's interstellar warships here." Zhao Chen's voice was calm and indifferent.

But it seemed to be telling the story of the fate of the Holy Angels Legion.

Saint Cana did not refute this, because she had also anticipated this outcome.

This JF-17 Thunder Legion is too powerful!

That's ridiculously strong!

To annihilate such a legion fleet on the battlefield would require at least three Holy Light Legions; it might even come at a considerable cost.

Saint Cana took a deep breath and, with almost all her might, uttered those words: "On behalf of the Holy Angel Legion, we concede defeat in this third battle."

Saint Cana's subordinates opened their mouths but remained silent.

Although admitting defeat and surrendering was humiliating, they also saw the disparity in strength between the two armies.

If we keep fighting, the Holy Angel Legion will be wiped out.

Meanwhile, the opposing JF-17 Legion suffered less than 30% casualties.

This is not what they wanted to see, especially since the Holy Angel Legion is also involved in many internal conflicts of interest within the Holy Radiant Empire.

It is the foundation of Saint Cana's faction in the Imperial Senate.

Although they lost this holy war duel, Saint Cana's forces will inevitably face condemnation and punishment in the Imperial Senate.

But as long as the Holy Angel Legion exists, Saint Cana's status will remain.

On the contrary... that would be the real disaster.

"Miss Saint Cana made a wise choice that saved the lives of millions of Space Marines in the Holy Angels Legion."

If the wounded of the Holy Angels Legion require medical treatment, our interstellar medical ships that accompanied the fleet can provide assistance.

Zhao Chen said with concern at this moment.

Saint Cana also saw that after the second battle of the Dragon Legion, the first thing they did was to rescue the wounded, and their logistical and medical support was very comprehensive.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Zhao Chen."

Saint Cana spoke with respect. Although she had been defeated, she admired Zhao Chen for being able to build such a powerful Dragon Legion fleet.

Moreover, she had previously seen that when the second battle of the Xiaolong Legion ended, the first thing they did was to rescue the wounded, which showed that Zhao Chen cared a lot about his fleet soldiers.

This is a respectable fleet commander.
