Rana exhaled slowly, forcing her trembling hands to steady.
Truth be told, when the first cannon blast had hit the shields protecting the city, she thought it would pierce right through it.
To her delight, it held up until the wave of blasts ended before shattering completely. She initially thought they'd have no choice but to engage the enemy without the shield, but new shields quickly replaced them again and again, protecting the city from harm.
The Celestial who had built the city from scratch thought that a miracle had happened. However, before she could rejoice, the enemy's cannon fired a second time.
She could even vaguely sense that this was more powerful than the first strike they had received.
"Brace yourselves!" Rana shouted, the echo of her voice immediately drowned by the loud explosion that shook the city.
