When the combined damage output of dozens of warships including numerous capital ships focused on a single greater phase lord, the results were devastating.
Not only had they aimed their weapons at the same phase lords, their energy beams also converged on a single spot of the enemy leader's spatial barrier.
This exerted an insane amount of strain on the defensive barrier. Although the unstable spatial activity caused many beams to fly crooked, the advanced AIs and targeting systems of the CE warships rapidly compensated for the anomalous behavior and made sure the persistent energy beams remained on target.
