C2970
Although Philip was slightly dissatisfied with the way Ferris had decided for him, he secretly agreed with what Ferris had said.
The drones did have some combat strength, but that depended on the target they were facing. Against ordinary vehicles and humans, their attack power was still sufficient, but against their own fleet, that was clearly not enough. One had to know that the performance of their own fleet of spaceships was still rather excellent, and with the drone's attack power, it was impossible to break through their defenses.
After a moment of thought, Philip gave the order, "All spaceships, target unmanned aerial vehicles, fire!"
At the command, all the airships fired at the drones at the same time. Philip and the others did hit some of the drones, but the remaining drones were able to dodge their attacks with ease.
"You're courting death!" Huang Feng saw this scene and sneered. He then ordered: "Fire!"
Huang Feng naturally wouldn't be polite with this kind of fleet that obviously had ill intentions. He immediately chose to fight back, and regardless of who they were, whoever had ill intentions towards this planet was his enemy.
The moment Huang Feng gave the order, the remaining drones also fired at the same time, targeting Philip's fleet.
However, when they saw this scene, neither Philip nor Ferris were too worried. The attack of the drone could not affect them in any way. As long as they destroyed the drones, they would be able to move forward easily.
However, in the next second, when those attacks landed on their ship, everyone was startled.
Clang!
When the drone's attack landed on the ship, everyone inside could clearly feel the ship shaking. Some of the ship's circuits and apparatus even began to emit sparks.
Clearly, the reality was different from what they had imagined. The effect of the drone wasn't as bad as they had thought. Rather, it was quite powerful.
"The outer layer of the ship is damaged."
"The ship's engine has been attacked!"
"The ship's hull is damaged!"
One report after another came in, filling Philip and Ferris' ears. The whole fleet seemed to be filled with a nervous and panicked atmosphere.
How could this be?
Philip and Ferris were both shocked and incredulous. How could an ordinary drone attack cause such heavy damage to their spaceship?
However, even if they didn't want to believe it, the truth was right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe it.
"Counterattack, fire!" shoot down all those damn drones! " Philip bellowed through the communicator.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do as you wish. The one to be shot down will only be you two." Huang Feng's voice came through the communication device again.
"Shut up!" Ferris snatched the microphone and shouted, "Just you wait! I'll tear you to pieces when I get to the ground!"
There was anger and panic in Ferris' voice.
He had thought that this mission would be easy and there would be no danger. However, the first attack from the other party had already brought them danger, and those seemingly ordinary drones were actually able to cause so much damage to their spaceship. Now that the spaceship was on the verge of collapse, he was extremely worried.
After Ferris finished speaking, he angrily cut off the communication and looked outside at the battle nervously.
After all, they knew that this trip to this planet required them to be on guard against others. Although they did not have any intentions of causing trouble, it was hard to say if other forces would attack them. Thus, not only did they have the guards of the Sangyu Family, but also hired soldiers, and in addition, every ship was equipped with powerful firepower.
At this moment, in the face of the drones' attack, all the spaceships fired their cannons and shot down the drones one after another.
However, the people on the spaceship were not in the mood to be happy, because the drones were also attacking them. Moreover, their firepower was not any smaller than the spaceship itself, and in just a short period of time, three spaceships were destroyed. Some lucky people could escape in the lifebuoy.
As for the other spaceships, although they were not destroyed yet, every one of them had sustained varying degrees of damage. Furthermore, those drones were still continuing their attacks!
"Captain Philip, what should we do? If this goes on, all the ships will be destroyed. Damn it, why are their drones so powerful? "It's actually stronger than our ship's firepower?" Ferris said in panic.
The ship they were on, was the flagship of the entire fleet, and was quite tough in terms of attack and defense. However, because they belonged to the flagship class ships, they were hit by the drones during the attack.1
He didn't want to die. He still had a lot of good life to enjoy, he was still young, and he should still have a lot of time to squander, not die in this damned universe.
"Stop arguing! All the spaceships are attacking, we can definitely destroy them! " Philip said with an ugly expression.
Even though they had caused great damage to the drones, the damage to their own side was even greater. As the captain, he knew that the spaceship was on the verge of collapse, and could collapse in space at any moment!
Thinking of this, Philip said to Ferris, "Come with me!"
Ferris did not dare to hesitate and quickly left with Philip. The two of them took a left and right turn to the lifeboat's storage area.
Ferris knew what they were going to do even without Philip's permission. Under such circumstances, he did not say much, and quickly went to find one and lay down.
Philip found another lifeboat beside Ferris and lay down. He looked longingly at the ship that had accompanied him for so many years before closing the door.
"Sooner or later, I will come back to avenge today!" Philip swore in his heart.
As a captain, running away from his subordinates was a very shameful thing to do, and once they got back, they might even be questioned. However, Philip could not care so much now. If he did not leave now, they might all die here.
His life was the most important thing!
