A blast from the heavy cannon, though it missed, still made the beastman leader Saru feel a great danger.
However, since it didn't hit, he could only gauge the might of this cannon through observation. Perhaps things weren't as they seemed?
Moreover, after the Green Skin Fleet charged, the Human Fleet did the same. The distance between the two fleets quickly closed to a perilously close range.
At that distance, the accuracy and power of the heavy cannons from both sides were enough to annihilate each other.
The arrow had been shot; there was no turning back.
To think of turning tail and running now would mean sitting ducks for a few more volleys. Even if some ships managed to escape, the losses would be colossal. Not a total annihilation, but at least half, or maybe even more, would be lost.
And it would be a pointless loss.
The only option was to keep charging.
Saru hoped that he had misjudged the situation.
However, that hope was quickly dashed.
