The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2452
2429, Battle of Two Heroes (Part 2)
In the desolate space between the Isol Galaxy and the Palin-Minor Galaxy, this extremely tragic battle is intensifying.
The Titan battleship of the Envoy of God is showing great power on the battlefield. The 12 sets of high-energy laser arrays are like 12 sickles of death that harvest life, harvesting the lives of countless Galactic Empire Navy soldiers.
Although Severance Tann can command only a few warships now, she still uses all her skills. On the one hand, she moves the severely damaged warships of the First Squadron to the cover of the Titan battleships, and then lets these warships start the hyperspace engine as soon as possible and return to the Isol Galaxy.
On the other hand, Severance Tann is very accurate in targeting those equally damaged Imperial warships! She ordered the Titan battleship of the Envoy of God to concentrate its firepower to destroy those warships that were damaged in the previous battle. It is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers, and if a large number of casualties are caused in a short period of time, it will also be a very fatal blow to the morale of the Galactic Empire Navy soldiers.
Less than 20 minutes after the battle began, the Titan battleship Aguinaldo had destroyed 4 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 2 Aquitens-class light cruisers, and 7 Carrack-class light cruisers.
Thrawn also responded tit for tat, letting the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Lila continue to advance, while concentrating all firepower on the Titan battleship Aguinaldo. He did not let the damaged warships retreat, but directly put on an indomitable attitude. If the Aguinaldo continued to ignore the Lila, then the Lila would rather fight to the death and drag the Titan battleship into the water!
The firepower of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is also very terrible, with 2,000 4-mounted medium multi-purpose turbolaser cannons, 2,000 twin-mounted heavy turbolaser cannons, 250 proton torpedo launchers, as well as 250 heavy ion cannons and 500 point defense laser weapons. Being targeted by the Executor-class Star Destroyer, what awaits you is the rain of firepower, and you will be torn into pieces by tens of thousands of turbolasers in a short time.
Severance Tann has now completely given up. She no longer cares about any strategy or tactics. What she wants is to splice the invincible combat power of the Titan battleship of the God Envoy and directly destroy Thrawn’s fleet!
After discovering that the Lila was getting closer and closer, Tann decisively ordered to fire four consecutive salvos at the Lila! Compared with the seemingly majestic attack of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, the high-energy laser array of the Titan battleship of the God Envoy is much more low-key. Each irradiation lasts only a few tenths of a second, and the lasers emitted are almost undetectable. If you look at it with the naked eye, it is even difficult to detect that it is attacking.
However, from the violent flickering on the shield of the Lila Super Star Destroyer, it can be seen that the continuous attack of the Titan battleship of the God Envoy cannot be withstood by even the Executor-class for a long time!
Thrawn began to let the Lila and other warships attack alternately. When the deflector shield of the Lila could not hold, other Imperial-class Star Destroyers would take over, giving the Super Star Destroyer time to recycle the shield.
But every time this happened, it meant that at least two or three Imperial-class Star Destroyers would be severely damaged or even sunk by the God of the Envoy!
From the beginning of the siege of the First Fleet to now, Thrawn has lost more than 50 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, as well as more than 400 light cruisers and frigates of various types. This is equivalent to one-fifth of his troops!
In the case of a sudden attack and ambush with deliberate intention, such a loss can be said to be very ugly. This also fully demonstrates the generation gap in warship technology between the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn, especially the God of the Revelation-class battleship and the Titan battleship of the God of the Envoy. Even with Thrawn’s superb command art, the only thing he can do is to keep letting the Imperial-class Star Destroyers fill in.
Because in many cases, those locked Imperial-class ships can’t even retreat! As long as they dare to turn around in front of the God-Revelation-class battleship, their engines will be destroyed in a few minutes by a few shots, and then they will be taken away directly by several rounds of salvos!
Thrawn even thought that if the Super Star Destroyer Leela did not participate in the battle, with the current number of troops in his hands, which was equivalent to six times that of the First Fleet, he would probably have to lose at least one-third of the battleships to finally win.
He also easily came to the conclusion that if the number of God-Revelation-class battleships increased in the future, once more than 20 God-Revelation-class battleships appeared in a certain star sector, then the Empire would not have any star sector-level forces that could resist!
…
“We found the Empire’s special warships, General Tann.” Admiral Trench came to Severance Tann, who was concentrating on commanding the battle, and said in a deep voice: “Four strange Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Tsk tsk tsk tsk…”
Severance Tann looked at the holographic battle star map, nodded and said: “I just noticed the difference in the appearance of these warships. What are they used for?”
“Our technicians have located the location of the gravity source. Confirmed, it is these four warships. Tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Trench said, “Destroy them, and our beacon will be effective.”
Severance Tann looked at the holographic battle star map and hesitated.
Because the four strange Imperial-class Star Destroyers were located in four directions of the battlefield, and they were all under heavy protection of the Imperial warships.
Admiral Trench was also thinking about countermeasures. He shook his head and said: “If we launch an assault. Thrawn is likely to annihilate the remaining First Fleet first. Tsk tsk tsk tsk… and it is impossible to confirm how effective it will be to destroy only one of them.”
Severance Tann looked at the star map and suddenly said: “No, there are flaws. The special Star Destroyer on the right wing was escorted by only more than 20 frigates… During Thrawn’s attack just now, Among them, the 10 Star Destroyers originally guarding there were transferred. “
“If it’s Thrawn, this is probably…a trap. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk…” Admiral Trench said.
Severance Tann sneered, “He is copying a trap he used to deal with Admiral Maltuk before. He has deployed at least 60 capital ships around him, aiming in this direction with long-range firepower. As long as we shoot towards If we make a sudden advance here, he will allow us to withstand at least 5 salvos from 60 battleships at the expense of that special Star Destroyer.”
Admiral Trench shook his head. He also felt that this method was not feasible.
However, Severance Tann suddenly said: “But this is an opportunity! Such a deployment shows that Thrawn is also worried about us attacking those four special Star Destroyers!”
“Hmm…interesting idea,” Admiral Trench said.
“Send an order to have the remaining battleships of the First Squadron form a defensive formation. The two Apocalypse-class battleships will follow our ship and launch a surprise attack! Once one of the special Star Destroyers is destroyed, the battleships of the First Squadron will immediately retreat. !” Severance Tan’s eyes became extremely sharp.
“Then for 30 minutes, we will be alone and helpless.” Admiral Trench stroked his chelicerae and made a tut-tsk sound.
“But after 30 minutes, we will get a new force.” Severance Tann said solemnly.
“Hmm…” Admiral Trench said nothing. He was also deep in thought about this gamble-like tactic.
Severance Tann said: “I’m just telling you this. Implement it immediately!” She said the last sentence to the T-series tactical robot on the side.
“Roger!” The tactical robot responded immediately and made arrangements.
“Get ready, three-dimensional bomb. Tsk tsk tsk tsk… Give Thrawn a little surprise.” Admiral Trench finally agreed to the plan, “This will buy us more time. Tsk tsk tsk tsk…”
After determining the next tactics, under the command of Severance Tann, the Titan battleship Angelus immediately began to turn. At the same time, the two Apocalypse-class battleships also accelerated forward. They hid their bodies behind the huge disk in front of the Titan battleship Divine Envoy.
Since the firepower of the Apocalypse-class battleship is arranged on both sides, such a formation can allow the front of the battleship to be covered by the Titan battleship Hercules, and at the same time, it can also exert its own firepower on the sides.
The remaining warships of the First Squadron began to shrink their formation, preparing to seize the opportunity to evacuate from the battlefield.
The Titan battleship Archangel did not attack the seemingly weakly defended right wing. She did the opposite and headed towards the left wing where Thrawn had deployed the most defenses! In this direction, more than 40 capital ships are protecting one of the Blocker-class Star Destroyers.
This seemed to be an extremely crazy move, but Severance Tann, who was directing the operation, coldly issued an order, “Phenomena generator, activate.”
“Yes! The phenomenon generator is activated!” An officer on the other side immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Behind this officer, there were five operators. They immediately started operating on their consoles, inputting parameters, turning on switches and circuit breakers at all levels. As rows after rows of indicator lights lit up, the entire battleship A buzzing sound started coming from inside.
At this time, some subtle changes seemed to have occurred in this battlefield area.

…
“General! The opponent’s Titan battleships began to advance!” Thrawn’s adjutant Rael Bentine shouted loudly. “They abandoned all the battleships except the two Apocalypse-class battleships and began to attack our Blocker-class Star Destroyer. !”
A cold smile appeared on Thrawn’s lips. He shook his head and said, “It seems that Severance Tann intends to make those damaged battleships retreat as soon as possible, and then he will lead the Titan battleship to break through directly and destroy one of them.” This way, the artificial gravity well we deployed will have a flaw, allowing her reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible. “
Rael Benting frowned and said: “Relative to attacking the Lila Super Star Destroyer or defending on the spot, Tann’s choice is the only way to break the situation. We… seem to have no choice.”
His subtext is actually very obvious, that is, Tann is now directly relying on the performance advantage of the Titan battleship Hercules to crush it. Such a simple and crude method actually hits the weakness of the imperial fleet!
Thrawn said, “Does Tann think her behavior is gambling? No…actually, deep down in her heart, she still chooses to be conservative.”
“General?” Rael Benting couldn’t understand.
Thrawn shook his head and said: “If it were me, as soon as I discovered the existence of the Interceptor-class Star Destroyer, I would directly bomb it with doomsday weapons. Then rely on the cover of other battleships and the powerful protective capabilities of the Titan battleship It’s a pity…”
His expression at this moment seemed to be genuinely sorry for Severance Tann, “She thought that the First Fleet fell into the trap because of her radical strategy, so she took it seriously and chose to play it safe. Now that she has discovered our flaws, she wants to break through in one fell swoop, but deep down she is still afraid of suffering more losses. She asked the remaining First Fleet to retreat and suppressed the use of doomsday weapons for this reason. So…”
He tapped on the armrest of the chair, “She thought I left the flaws on the right wing to her, so she did the opposite and attacked the left wing? No… My left wing is truly powerful. Send an order! The 7th Assault Fleet will immediately detour to the rear! The 4th Fleet will immediately attack the remaining enemy fleet! The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer will retreat, and the Lila Super Star Destroyer will block the front…”
A series of orders were issued, and the entire Imperial Fleet seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, and immediately began to change its formation in an orderly manner. Hundreds of warships moved in their respective directions, and soon formed a huge net of death!
“This time, even if it’s a Titan battleship, I will sink it for you to see!” Thrawn’s eyes became sharp.
What gave him this confidence was the news that just came 10 minutes ago – Dunn Wessex had led the defense fleet of Palin Minor to repel the rear fleet of Severance Tann, and he would be able to arrive here soon!
However, at this moment, the Lila Super Star Destroyer suddenly sent a message: [Unknown astronomical phenomenon detected! The intensity of cosmic radiation in this star region is increasing! ]
As a super star destroyer, the Lila has a more complete functional department, such as a team of astronomy experts.
“Astronomical phenomenon? Or the secret weapon of the Titan battleship?” Thrawn frowned.
The Lila quickly sent a reply, [From the form of expression, it is closer to natural astronomical phenomena than man-made weapons. But in fact, our ship’s astronomy experts believe that this is likely to be a weather controller acting on the space environment. ]
“What effect?!” Thrawn asked quickly.
[Still under analysis. At present, it can be found that the increase in the intensity of cosmic radiation has increased the shield energy consumption of our warships by about 10%! 】
“General! This is true! I have received feedback from the shield control department!” Adjutant Leir Benting said anxiously.
But at this time, they no longer needed to analyze it. They only saw that the Titan battleship of the God’s Envoy suddenly flashed a laser, and the Victory II-class Star Destroyer in front of it actually began to collapse and disintegrate! Then the second laser was fired, and the battleship immediately turned into a huge fireball! !
The laser of the God’s Envoy has changed! From the previous invisible state, it has become a clear yellow beam! The power is probably also much higher!
