Chapter 2428 The Battle of Two Heroes (Part 2)

2429, Battle of Two Heroes (Part 2)

In the barren cosmic space between the Isol galaxy and the Palin-Minor galaxy, this extremely brutal battle is intensifying.

The Titan battleship Archangel showed great power on the battlefield. Its 12 high-energy laser arrays were like 12 death scythes harvesting lives, harvesting the lives of countless Galactic Empire naval soldiers.

Although there are not many battleships under Severance Tann's command now, she still tried her best. On the one hand, she moved the severely damaged battleships of the First Squadron to the cover of the Titan battleships, and then let these battleships

Start the hyperspace engine as soon as possible and return to the Isol galaxy.

On the other hand, Severance Tann targeted the Imperial warships that were also damaged very accurately! She ordered the Titan warship Archangel to concentrate its firepower to destroy those warships that had been damaged in the previous battle. Injure them.

It would be better to cut off one of the ten fingers, and if it causes a lot of casualties in a short period of time, it will also have a very fatal blow to the morale of the Galactic Empire naval soldiers.

In less than 20 minutes after the battle began, the Titan battleship Archangel had already destroyed 4 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 2 Aquitens-class light cruisers, and 7 Kharak-class light cruisers.

Thrawn was also tit for tat. He let the Lila Executor-class super Star Destroyer continue to advance, and at the same time concentrated all firepower on the Titan battleship Archangel. He did not let the damaged battleships retreat, but directly moved them away.

It showed an attitude of going forward indomitably. If the Angel continued to ignore the Lila, then the Lila would rather suffer serious damage than drag the Titan battleship into the water!

The firepower of the Executor-class super Star Destroyer is also very terrifying, with 2,000 4-mounted medium-sized multi-functional turbolaser cannons, 2,000 twin-mounted heavy turbolaser cannons, 250 proton torpedo launchers, 250 heavy ion cannons and 500

Point defense laser weapon. When targeted by the Executor-class Star Destroyer, what is waiting is the raindrop of firepower, and it will be torn into pieces by tens of thousands of turbo lasers in a short period of time.

Severance Tann has now completely given up. She no longer cares about strategies or tactics. What she wants is to combine the invincible combat power of the Titan battleship Archangel and directly destroy Thrawn's fleet!

After discovering that the Lila was approaching, Tann decisively ordered four consecutive salvos against the Lila! Compared with the seemingly majestic attack of the Executor-class super Star Destroyer, the high-energy laser of the Titan battleship Archangel

The array is much more low-key, each irradiation lasts only a fraction of a second, and the laser emitted is almost invisible. If you look at it with the naked eye, it is even difficult to detect that it is attacking.

But it can be seen from the violent flashing on the shield of the Lila Super Star Destroyer that even the Executor class cannot withstand the continuous attack of the Archangel Titan battleship for a long time!

Thrawn began to let the Lila and other battleships attack alternately. When the Lila's deflection shield could not hold up, he asked other Imperial-class Star Destroyers to attack it, giving the Super Star Destroyer time to recirculate the shield.

But whenever this happens, it means that at least two to three Empire-class Star Destroyers will be severely damaged or even sunk by the Archangel!

From the beginning of the siege of the First Squadron until 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 strength!

In the case of deliberate and unintentional surprise attacks and ambush operations, such battle damage can be said to be very ugly. This also fully demonstrates the generational difference in battleship technology between the Galactic Empire and the Kingdom of Dawn, especially the Apocalypse-class battleship

Even with Thrawn's superb command skills, the only thing he could do was to keep sending Imperial-class Star Destroyers to fill up the Titan battleship Archangel.

Because in many cases, those locked Empire-class battleships cannot even retreat! As long as they dare to turn around in front of the Apocalypse-class battleship, their engines will be destroyed by several shots in minutes, and then several rounds of salvos will directly hit them.

take away!

Thrawn even believed that if the Lila Super Star Destroyer had not participated in the battle, with the number of troops currently equivalent to six times that of the First Squadron, he would have to lose at least one-third of the battleships before he could finally win.

He could easily come to the conclusion that if the number of Apocalypse-class battleships increases in the future, once more than 20 Apocalypse-class battleships appear in a certain sector, the empire will not have any sector-level power to resist it.

!



"We discovered the Empire's special battleship, General Tann." Admiral Trench came to Severance Tann, who was concentrating on commanding the battle, and said in a deep voice: "Four, strange, Empire-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 battleships. What do they do?"

"Our technicians have located the location of the gravity source. It is confirmed that it is these four battleships. Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Trench said, "Destroy them, and our beacon will take effect."

Severance Tann looked at the holographic battle star map and hesitated.

Because those four strange Empire-class Star Destroyers were located in the four directions of the battlefield, and they were all heavily protected by Imperial warships.

Admiral Trench was also thinking about countermeasures. He shook his head and said: "If we launch an assault, Thrawn will most likely annihilate the remaining First Squadron first. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... Moreover, there is no way to confirm.

How effective would it be to just destroy one of them?"

Severance Tann looked at the star map and suddenly said: "No, there is a flaw. The special Star Destroyer on the right wing was only escorted by more than 20 frigates... During Thrawn's attack just now,

Among them, the 10 Star Destroyers originally guarding there were transferred away."

"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 when dealing with Admiral Maltuk. Around him, he deployed at least 60 capital ships, 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 Tann'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 also fell into deep thought about this gamble-like tactic.

Severance Tann said: "I'm just telling you this. Do 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 tactic, 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, and they moved their ships up and down.

His body was hiding behind the huge disk in front of the Titan battleship Archangel,

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 battleships 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, heading towards the left wing where Thrawn deployed the most defenses! In this direction, more than 40 capital ships were protecting one of them.

destroyer class Star Destroyer.

This seemed to be an extremely crazy move, but Severance Tann, who was directing the battle, 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 have begun to advance!" Thrawn's adjutant Rael Benteen 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 warships retreat as soon as possible, and then lead a direct breakthrough with the Titan warships to destroy one of them."

destroyer-class ship to open the gap. In this way, the artificial gravity wells we deployed will have flaws, 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... don't seem to have much else to do."

His subtext is actually very obvious, that is, Tann is now directly relying on the performance advantage of the Titan battleship Archangel to crush it. Such a simple and crude method actually hits the weakness of the imperial fleet!

Thrawn said: "Does Tann think her move is gambling? No...in fact, 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 I would rely on the cover of other battleships and the powerful protective capabilities of the Titan battleship.

It will last until reinforcements arrive. It's a pity..."

His expression at this moment seemed to be sincerely sorry for Severance Tann, "She believed that the First Squadron fell into a trap precisely because of her radical strategy, so she got serious and chose to play it slow. Now we have been discovered

She wanted to break the situation in one fell swoop, but deep down she was still afraid of suffering more losses. She asked the remaining First Squadron to retreat and suppressed the use of doomsday weapons, all for this reason. So..."

He tapped on the armrest of the seat, "She thinks I left her the weakness of the right wing, so just do the opposite and attack the left wing? No... my left wing is truly powerful. Pass the order

!The 7th Assault Fleet immediately circled back! The Fourth Squadron immediately attacked the remaining enemy fleet! The Interceptor-class Star Destroyer retreated, and the Lila super Star Destroyer stood in front..."

A series of orders were issued, and the entire imperial fleet immediately began to change formations in an orderly manner, as if controlled by an invisible hand. Hundreds of warships moved in their respective directions, and soon formed a huge web of death!

"This time, even if it is 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 had just arrived 10 minutes ago - Dunne Wessex had led Palin Minor's defense fleet to repel Severance Tann's rear fleet.

He'll be 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 sector is increasing! 】

As a super Star Destroyer, the Lila has more complete functional departments, such as a team of astronomy experts.

"Astronomical phenomenon? Or the Titan battleship's secret weapon?" Thrawn frowned.

The Lila quickly sent a reply, [From the perspective 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 an effect.

Weather controller for space environment.]

"What's the effect?!" Thrawn asked quickly.

[Still under analysis. Currently, it can be found that the increase in cosmic radiation intensity has increased the shield energy consumption of our warships by approximately 10%!]

"General! It's true! I have received feedback from the shield control department!" Adjutant Rael Benting said eagerly.

But at this time, they no longer needed to analyze. They only saw the Titan battleship Archangel suddenly flashing away with a laser, and the Victory II-class Star Destroyer in front began to collapse and disintegrate! Then the second laser was fired, and this ship

The battleship immediately turned into a huge fireball!!

The laser of the Divine Envoy has changed! From the previous invisible state, it has become an obvious yellow beam! The power may have also increased a lot!
