Because of this, he paid more attention to this fleet, and to this mysterious Sir Jay. He had been trying to find out more about this fleet, but he found little. This Sir Jay had a way of managing his fleet. His fleet was made up of commoners, but he had strict discipline. He could make sure that no one knew what he was doing. It was extremely difficult to do that, and he knew it very well. His fleet was almost the same as Jay's, but he could not do it. He felt that this was a problem of his own ability, and nothing else. Xiao Wan was the leader of this fleet in name, but she rarely interfered with Arwa.
This time, Jay's fleet had been greatly shaken, and he did not expect it. In his opinion, it was very difficult for a team with such a diverse composition to unite their hearts. Any wind that blew on the grass could become the source of unrest and cause the fleet to disintegrate. Thus, he had been treading on thin ice and was very careful.
It was not just him. Everyone watching the fleet would never know that Ye Chong did not care if the fleet disintegrated or not.
This time, Sir Jay's actions had surprised him yet again. A fleet that was almost halved in size would not only weaken them greatly, but also affect morale and morale. This was very dangerous.
However, after listening to the old captain's detailed explanation, Arwa fell into deep thought.
The old captain described Jay's analysis of the situation. Arwa noticed that Jay seemed to have other sources of information. At least, he knew how dangerous the red-tailed beasts were in various regions. Information was always one of Arwa's biggest problems. The Xiao Family army only existed in name, and their information network was not developed to begin with. Arwa did not know what was happening in other regions, and he could not make the right decision.
Indeed, entering the Calamitous Asteroid Belt would most likely result in death. Both Jay's and Arwa's fleets were mainly made up of commoners. They were far weaker than mech pilots in terms of combat ability and willpower. Even elite squads would suffer heavy casualties in the Calamitous Asteroid Belt, let alone commoners.
It was no wonder that so many chose to leave.
Jay had led them to victory, but this time, they were not facing the red-tailed beasts, but nature, which humans could not fight against. This was another important reason.
Alva, however, agreed with Jay's judgment. If … if Jay's information was correct.
Arwa was certain that if he had the same information, he would definitely make the same judgment. He had personally experienced the intelligence of the red-tailed beasts. The crushing defeat at the frontlines and his narrow escape from death were the most painful memories of his life.
The mysterious Jay would rather risk his life to enter the Calamitous Stars than bet on the possibility that the red-tailed beasts would not complete their encirclement.
What did this mean?
Alva's mind was racing.
This meant that Jay had absolute confidence in the information he obtained and his own judgment. That was the only way he could have chosen the seemingly more dangerous path.
Alva's final conclusion shocked him, but he was not in the mood to think about Jay's source of information. The first thing that came to his mind was their current situation. Where would they go from here? That was the most important thing.
If Jay's judgment was correct, the situation was unfavorable for them. From the old captain's description, Alva could guess that Jay's fleet was closer to Casent than his own. Jay believed that his fleet would not be able to break through Casent before the red-tailed beasts completed their encirclement. Alva did not think that his fleet could do it either.
Thus, there were only two paths before Alva. One was to not trust Jay's judgment, and continue to fly according to plan. The other was to enter the Calamitous Stars Belt like Jay did.
Alva was hesitant. He understood what this choice meant to him, and to the entire fleet. Alva was more and more impressed by the mysterious Jay. It was not easy for him to choose the seemingly more dangerous path, and it required a lot of courage.
Jay's deduction was correct, and Alva believed most of it. However, if they really entered the Calamitous Stars Belt, there would be many casualties. He was very worried that the number of casualties would reach the limit of the fleet's collapse.
While Alva was hesitating, Ye Chong did not have to worry about this problem.
Working day and night every day, even he felt that it was too much for him, and his weight dropped significantly. However, he was trained in Mental Strength, so he seemed to be in good spirits. Yang Ming and the other maintainers were already sick from exhaustion, but no one gave up. However, no one backed down. Many people even took stimulants to increase their work efficiency.
Everyone understood that they were in a race against time, a race against death, and a race against fate. Driven by the maintainers, the entire fleet was in a frenzy. Even Ye Chong, who was usually calm, was affected by the frenzy, not to mention the others.
One day before they reached the Calamitous Stars Belt, Ye Chong and his fleet finally finished reinforcing all the starships. Almost half of the maintainers, including Yang Ming, collapsed from exhaustion. The maintainers' fighting spirit influenced the others, especially the hot-blooded young mech pilots. They were all rubbing their fists, waiting to enter the Calamitous Stars Belt.
Ye Chong asked himself to rest the day before. As the leader, he had more responsibilities than anyone else. Especially at this critical moment, he had to command the fleet himself. In the entire fleet, he had been to the Calamitous Stars Belt the most, and was the most familiar with it.
The Calamitous Stars Belt was made up of countless rocks of different sizes, as vast as the sea of stars. The huge fleet was like a speck of dust in front of it. Even though most of the people in the fleet were mentally prepared, they were still overwhelmed by the vastness and vastness of the place when they first saw it for the first time.
But at that moment, their Lord Jay gave the order to advance. His firm voice was transmitted through the comms to everyone's ears. Everyone was immediately awakened from the indescribable vastness. There was no more hesitation, no more hesitation, and the eyes of the crew members became determined.
The Calamitous Stars Belt was the greatest and most magnificent sight in the world. Let us conquer it!
Waves of heroic spirit surged in the hearts of every crew member, and their movements also became more agile.
"Shrink the formation. Warships, protect both sides of the fleet."
"Combatants, enter the designated channel."
"Maintainers, enter the designated channel."
"Medics, get ready."
...
The order was relayed from Haskel to every starship in no time. Every starship's captain's quarters became the busiest place. All sorts of commands and signals were transmitted to every corner of the ship through the comms system and internal broadcast system.
The fleet formed a tight formation and slowly moved towards the Calamitous Stars Belt. At the front of the fleet was a warship. The vast sea of rocks was getting closer. The crew could even see the patterns on the rocks.
After every order was given dutifully, the entire fleet fell into silence. Everybody tried to hold their breath and stared at the sea of rocks on the holographic screen, which was gradually enlarged and filled up the entire screen.
Closer!
Even closer!
The entire fleet was like a spear, slowly but surely heading towards the sea of rocks.
The massive size of the starships could not avoid all the rocks. Many of the rocks that were a few meters square were deflected by the armor of the starships. The rocks were sent flying in all directions, crashing into other rocks. It was like pouring a ladle of water into a pot of boiling oil. With the breakthrough point as the center, a series of chain reactions turned the calm and peaceful sea of rocks into a violent mess.
Rocks kept ramming into the fleet like cannonballs, especially the starships that were at the periphery of the formation, which were hit directly by the rocks.
"Hold on, hold on! Don't tilt the ship … "
"Don't panic, control the speed …"
"Maintenance personnel, check if there's any damage from the collisions …"
The voices of the captains made the atmosphere tense.
Ye Chong did not interfere with the orders given by the captains. He knew that the battle had only just begun. If they could not even handle this, then they could forget about the rest of the battle.
Starships were not suitable for flying in the Calamitous Stars Belt. Their large size would cause chaos in the usually calm sea of rocks, which was dangerous. In comparison, mechs were more suitable for flying in the Calamitous Stars Belt. Their smaller size and agility made them safer. However, if they encountered an unstoppable natural disaster like the asteroid whirlpool, they would have to depend on their luck.
It was a fiery scene. Rocks of a few cubic meters smashed into the armor of the starships like meteors. Bang! Rocks rained down in the flashes of light in the darkness.
Fortunately, none of the starships had sustained serious damage so far. However, many of the starships that used to be smooth and smooth had become bumpy and uneven in a short period of time. It was unbearable to look at. Most of the captains cherished their starships as much as their own lives. This caused many of the captains to look grim. (To be continued.
