Chapter 301: Fighter Jets
The warship in space stood like a pestle, unmoving. Three minutes later, a burst of fire erupted against its front reactive armor. The powerful impact pierced the thick armor, tore through several compartments, and pushed the warship several kilometers back.
“Seal the damaged compartments! Get us away from River Tank 223 immediately! If it explodes, I don’t want to get dragged down with it!” the captain shouted. The violent tremors from the impact had left every Riken crew member on edge.
Fortunately, after the shaking subsided, the self-diagnostics revealed that apart from the destroyed front reactive armor and a few damaged compartments, the ship’s overall structure remained intact. Its operational capabilities were unaffected. Such damage could only be considered minor.
However, in its current state, the warship was no longer capable of withstanding another electromagnetic railgun round. Worse, River Tank 223, already severely damaged, appeared on the verge of destruction. Should it explode, the uncontrolled wreckage would pose a far greater threat than a railgun projectile.
Unfortunately, their ship was the closest to River Tank 223.
Having narrowly avoided disaster, the captain immediately ordered the ship to distance itself from this looming danger.
Even without the captain’s command, the crew had already begun moving. The forward engines engaged, and the warship began retreating, its stern tilted up as it pulled away from Planet Raze.
This maneuver drew curses from nearby captains and even prompted an inquiry from Hamis, but none of it mattered compared to survival.
While the main cannons on both sides exchanged fire, the smaller units were far from idle.
