Perseverance II
Of course it made a world of difference when Ye Chong and Shang worked together!
Sir Jay's fleet members got a morale boost because of his reputation amongst his people. To them, Sir Jay was walking the talk, impressing on them his will to fight till the end!
The performance of Sir Jay and his mysterious and strong partner was like an adrenaline injection to the fleet members, giving them strength to carry on.
...
Ye Chong never expected this.
It was too long ago since he had fought side by side with Shang. Now, he was enjoying the moment.
The rocks came from unexpected angles, and fast enough to strain him. Once, he was in the Calamitous Asteroid Belt by himself, giving chase to a single six-fingered red-tailed beast. Now, he had brought with him an entire fleet, massive enough to feel the effects of dangers within the asteroid belt.
The rocks came in waves like animals in a frenzy, attacking him ferociously and aggressively.
