Devil broke through the first defensive line, the outermost checkpoint, but an airport is way too important to only have one defensive line.
One thousand Mi away was the airport, and at the entrance and exit of the airport there was another checkpoint with even stronger firepower, the last defensive line to be held in case of contact with the enemy.
When Devil had no choice but to take out this outermost checkpoint, they finally couldn't slip past the enemy's eyes; now the enemy opened fire, and a distance of One thousand Mi was nothing at all for an autocannon.
Joseph slammed the car into reverse and backed out fast, and then the autocannon stopped shooting.
The enemy didn't use the autocannon to fire at the checkpoint that Devil had occupied; the only reason could be fear of friendly fire—opening up blindly before they figured out what was going on and wiping out all their own people would be unacceptable.
