Although Gu Hang used the power of Spiritual Energy to convey the warning and command to every ally soldier in the vicinity, he was not about to leave fate in uncontrollable hands.
The soldiers might very well ignore the warnings and commands, whether due to their loyalty to Mondok and the Alliance or a stress reaction, and open fire directly on Gu Hang and his team.
Therefore, Gu Hang needed to be prepared to receive a blow.
If the surrounding soldiers did make a move, the armor on the warriors and Battle Nuns in motion would serve as Gu Hang's best cover, impervious to ordinary firepower.
Should any heavy artillery shells come flying, not to mention whether they could easily hit in a high-speed movement state, even if they did, Gu Hang had the ability to identify them in advance and use the power of Spiritual Energy to cause a slight deviation while they were mid-air, making them miss their target.
