The damage inflicted by the asteroids was compounded as the ships accelerated. While the warships continued to fire their cannons at the larger rocks that assaulted them, the other starships gave up on evasive measures and focused on advancing as fast as they could.
At the forefront of the fleet were Ye Chong and Shang, feeling the pressure mounting on them.
The asteroids were now coming faster at them. Ye Chong had to concentrate harder, dealing with the dangerous and life-threatening rocks. If any of the asteroids hit the ship directly, the chances of his own survival were near non-existent.
Shang had replaced his energy cell five times. He was now at the tip of the front most starship in the fleet.
All they could do now was buy more time with the ships.
