The warships at both wings were not having a fun time being the first line of defense, as they were preoccupied with the task of destroying the larger space rocks coming towards them. The damage caused by the collision between these space rocks and the spaceship would be horrendous. It would be easily a critical hit on any spot of the other ships. So they had to crush them before the space rocks could touch them, as what Master Jay ordered.
They might be as busy as bees, but they were better off compared to the transporting spaceships. Their armors were far thicker, to begin with. Every single part of their warship was armored. As long as collision on the same spot did not occur consecutively, they were very much safe.
The fleet traveled steadily towards the depth of the asteroid belt.
