The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2331

2311, Raid on Kira (III)

The defense facilities of Kira were attacked by the Separatist fleet. Although the Separatist fleet was not large, with only 60 Disaster-class battlecruisers that had almost no close combat capability, plus more than 100 cruisers as escorts, the particle light spears could continuously bombard the planet’s defense facilities without being counterattacked by virtue of their range advantage.

This news strengthened Admiral Michel Unser’s determination to launch an attack.

He decided to defeat the main Separatist fleet head-on, and then go back to deal with those Disaster-class battlecruisers. In any case, although the 60 Disaster-class ships had an absolute range advantage, their firepower was limited. It would take at least several days to destroy all the defense facilities of Kira.

By that time, the battle on Naboo would have ended long ago, and the graves of the Separatist fleet would be three meters high.

Of course, Naboo couldn’t drag on for too long, and a quick victory would be enough.

In the direction of Kira, there are 50 Victory II-class Star Destroyers and more than 100 light cruisers. In addition, 20 of the 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyers sent out earlier are now in the direction of Kira. So 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 50 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, plus more than 100 cruisers, to fight against 60 Disaster-class Battlecruisers and 100 cruisers, this should not be a big problem.

So, Admiral Michel-Unser ordered the Kira planet garrison to take the initiative to attack the Separatist harassment fleet immediately after joining the 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

At the same time, battles broke out in both directions of Kira and Naboo!

On the Naboo side, the Imperial fleet used the Commander II-class dreadnought as the vanguard, and the Executor-class Star Destroyer Lusankaya followed closely behind, launching an attack in an arrow-shaped array.

The powerful main gun bombardment of the Commander II-class dreadnought kicked off the prelude to the largest fleet battle since the start of the war!

The Dawn Principality Fleet was just as Michelle expected. The Titan battleship Xuanwu directly opened the fleet shield, and a faint green light curtain immediately appeared on the battleships around the Titan battleship. Then, the Hell Angel-class battlecruisers with additional energy shields accelerated and rushed straight towards the Imperial Fleet!

“All ships, according to the marked targets, concentrate firepower! Fire!” Michel-Unser gave orders loudly.

He marked the five Hell Angel-class battlecruisers in the front on the holographic star map and ordered the entire army to concentrate firepower on these five battleships!

Countless turbo laser beams poured out like raindrops, dense and continuous. The light green light curtains on the five Hell Angel-class battlecruisers suddenly flickered violently and were broken almost in a short time. The warships that noticed something was wrong immediately began to turn around, while the warships behind accelerated forward to block the front.

The Star Child-class repair drone mothership immediately launched a large number of repair drones, while the Pioneer-class logistics cruiser also rushed forward, turned on the remote armor repair equipment, and launched a huge number of nanorobots to carry out emergency repairs on the attacked Hell Angel-class battlecruisers.

However, even so, two Hell Angel-class battlecruisers were still destroyed under this fierce bombardment. But at the same time, the artillery fire of the Dawn Principality Fleet also arrived, and dense laser and turbolaser beams exploded on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and the deflector shield rippled violently.

Sensing the Empire’s concentrated fire strategy, the Titan battleship Xuanwu directly drove to the front with full power, and the pulse laser cannon installed on the front of the battleship fired an orange-yellow beam that swept across the Commander II-class Star Destroyer in front.

The fleets of both sides opened fire at full power at the first time, fighting together without any fancy moves.

Fighter formations also took off one after another, and a fierce fight broke out between the formations of the two fleets. However, in this battle, the number of carrier-based aircraft on both sides was not large. The Dawn Principality Fleet took off more than 800 fighters, while the Galactic Empire Fleet took off about 1,400 TIE fighters.

At this time, Admiral Michel-Unser also ordered the air force of Naboo to join the battle.

400 N-1 interstellar fighters began to attack from the rear of the Dawn Principality Fleet, preparing for a pincer attack. Although the Dawn Principality Fleet deployed a number of guard-class air defense destroyers, the large number of N-1 interstellar fighters were still confident enough to break through.

Everything seemed to be developing in a direction that was favorable to the Imperial Fleet!

The Dawn Principality Fleet in front of them, without the firepower support of the Disaster-class Battlecruiser, their firepower was obviously insufficient. Whether it is the Titan battleship Basalt or the Hell Angels-class battlecruiser, they are all defense-oriented warships. Although these warships are difficult to destroy, their firepower is also difficult to match the shield level of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

In interstellar war, big is strong. The huge 1,600-meter hull of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer also determines that their energy level is more powerful. This point cannot be narrowed no matter how high the energy utilization efficiency of the Hell Angels is.

“Electric order to all ships, reduce the shield energy supply, and fire at full speed! Completely destroy the Separatist fleet within 5 hours!” Admiral Michel-Unser roared loudly.

According to the simulation calculation of the combat AI, they actually only need 4 hours to destroy the resistance of the Separatist fleet. Michel Unser felt that he had left an hour of space. He was really a good general who knew how to be considerate of his subordinates and did not put too much pressure on his subordinates.

At this time, the alarm of the communicator sounded harshly. This is the alarm when there is an emergency military situation!

[General! The main fleet of the Separatist appeared in the Ennaco galaxy! Confirmed that the Ankron-class Titan battleship participated in the battle! Confirmed that there are other large battleships in the enemy fleet! ] The commander of the branch fleet of 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyers left behind on the planet Ennaco sounded the alarm.

Hearing this news, Michel Unser felt like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.

“You…what did you say? Repeat it?!” He shouted loudly.

[The main fleet of the Separatist appeared in the Ennaco galaxy, with a number of 400! Confirmed that the Ankron-class Titan battleship! 】

“This is impossible!! The main fleet of the separatists is here!! Where did they get another fleet!!!” Michel Anser screamed hysterically.

[Confirmed the main fleet of the enemy! Confirmed! Prepare to fire!!] The other end of the communicator began to become noisy, and the electronic noise became more and more, obviously electromagnetic interference.

[No! This is impossible! This is impossible!!!]

[Quick! Retreat! Retreat!! They are so terrible! How could there be such a warship!! Help! Help!!!]
