Yes, under the repeated siege of our own army, the Sayde Fortress, which had held firm for more than a year, finally fell. The invincible "Dragon of Dawn", after all, lost the space to move around as several armies approached, and finally
In order to save the lives of his subordinates and people, he was forced to sacrifice his pistol and light spear.
He allowed him to keep his pistol and light spear, and even followed the classical traditional war etiquette, raising a toast and sharing a drink to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who died in the war.
How elegant and majestic. This must be an epic legend that can be passed down to future generations, right?
If this really happens, the young Solei King Yount will definitely become the new famous general and genius military strategist in the Dragon King family. In the new era of the future, he will definitely have a lot to do.
... Of course, the so-called new era is currently just some private speculation that is not very respectful. After all, it still involves some unspeakable things and is still very taboo.
Especially after someone gave the motto of "bloody disaster", it became even more taboo.
So, is there really going to be something going on with His Majesty? King Solane suddenly fell into deep thought.
One thing to say is that unlike my distant cousin, I don’t have a very touching family relationship with the god-like Imperial Supreme. In the final analysis, it is just a relationship between a king and his ministers.
Of course, considering that the Imperial Supreme of the nine-ringed psyker will often bring the attributes of an "immortal king", there may also be a bit of religious admiration, worship, and even obedience.
However, for some people, they will get tired of being the supreme emperor of the empire for two hundred years. For them, eternity is not sacred, but an unchanging stubbornness that makes people unable to breathe. In fact, even the royal family of the empire
There are also people among the great nobles who want to breathe some fresh air.
When the young King Solei thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder. He subconsciously turned on his spiritual sense to the maximum, and quickly recited a few loyalty hymns silently to drive away his rebellious thoughts.
Before young people are severely beaten by society, their dreams will always be full of sunshine. Fortunately, as an elected emperor, King Sorain is still calm and calm far beyond his peers. Even if he has seen
At the dawn of victory, I smell the scent of spring dreams of stone (meow) nan (woo) flowers, and I keep reminding myself that I must not get carried away.
Even if you really drift, as a qualified leader, you must at least comply with the Basic Law!
So, when his own fleet had re-completed its formation and was preparing to carry out the "Tiannu Scattering Flowers" strategy, King Thoraine also mobilized his own Sky Dragon, together with sixteen Praise-class arsenal ships and fifteen Nightmares.
Mountain class guard ship.
As we all know, thanks to a certain "Dragon of Dawn" whose name cannot be mentioned, arsenal ships and guard ships are products that are about to be eliminated after all. Even the semi-finished products that have been put on the slipway have been dismantled and moved.
for other purposes.
However, after all, the Tribute-class and Nightmare-class are new ships that have only been in service for less than ten years. The Galactic Empire has really considered using them as the backbone of future fleet battles, and of course built and equipped a considerable number of them.
Even the wealthy Galactic Empire couldn't dismantle these fleets directly, so they sent them all to the battlefield.
In the eyes of Marshal Ikenroga and his imperial generals, although the thin-skinned and bulky arsenal ships and the bulky and slow guard ships are about to be eliminated on the mobile battlefield that may burst into flames at any time, they will not survive the long-term confrontation.
In battle, it should still have a certain combat effect.
So, isn't the largest dumb battle battlefield in the universe located in the Sede galaxy?
Of course, King Thorane decided to continue to implement the enemy-tiring tactics of round-robin battles. However, if he could cause greater hard damage to the enemy in this series of battles, why not do it?
Therefore, before the Community fleet could react, he planned to use the Xiaolong and these guard ships as cover to lead all the Tribute-class arsenal ships to boldly approach and attack, and carry out effective bombardment of the main fortress.
This is not a sudden whim of King Thoraine.
In history, the tactic of using thin-skinned and large-stuffed arsenal ships to attack forward has actually been performed many times. The most classic example occurred in the Fifth Galactic War, which was already three hundred years ago.
During the Battle of the Lomish System, the 100 arsenal ships of the Galactic Empire, under the desperate cover of their own side, approached a place less than 200,000 kilometers away from the enemy fleet. Suddenly, tens of thousands of artillery fire were fired, including four dreadnoughts, on the spot.
124 battleships evaporated on the spot.
The commander who commanded that epic battle was none other than the contemporary King of Soleyn, Rashu VII. In terms of seniority, he was the 13th direct grandma of this generation of Yount IV.
So, when the new King Thoraine ascended the throne and obtained the new type of Sky Dragon as his flagship, this plan began to brew in his mind.
If you think about it carefully, the Xiaolong does look like an arsenal ship and a guard ship combined with an accelerated version. It is natural to have such an association. However, this also shows that King Thoraine's imagination is not special.
It's wild and unrestrained, but it is based on the possibility and executability of realistic concepts. This is of course a very good advantage.
However, when the formation of the battleships led by King Solain was completed and the squadron following the "rain of flowers" crossed the center line, the captain of the Xiaolong suddenly issued a warning: "The response of the fleet ahead is intensifying! The main force of the enemy fleet
Come over here!”
The latest mass projection appeared on the star map at the right time, but dozens of large ships suddenly appeared from behind the main game, charging directly towards their own side at the fastest charging speed.
King Thoren was slightly startled. In the past six months of confrontation, both sides were very cautious in using their fleets, especially the Republic forces, which were already at a disadvantage. Of course, their attacks were based on cruisers and light carriers.
Mainly, occasionally very brave individual fighter planes fly within the range of one's own defensive line of fire to carry out provocations and exploratory attacks.
But when it comes to the battleship, the situation is different. Whether it is a battle cruiser or an aircraft carrier, there are almost no examples of crossing the center line. Always make sure that you are within the coverage of the fortress guns and fort arrays.
As for the three God-class ships, they were part of the Alien Transformation Plan during the last actual battle, but now they have been hiding in the dock behind the fortress. The occasional appearance is more like showing off.
But now, these large ships, which are absolutely non-renewable resources for the people on earth, are coming out from behind the fortress, as if they are a group of warriors who have accumulated a lot of anger and can finally unleash their murderous desires.
.
The Imperial fleet, which continued to carry out the "Raining Flowers" offensive, was inadvertent and could only watch these strike formations composed entirely of battleships, get through the gaps between them, and directly pounce on the Xiaolong formation.
side.
In the rush, the Xiaolong and the arsenal ships under her command just had time to turn around and fire a hasty volley of guns. Before they even had time to confirm the results of the battle, the main fleet, like a tiger descending from the mountain, had already entered the effective range.
.
"The projection of the enemy fleet is confirmed, 3 Lord God-class Dreadnoughts, 10 Yinglong-class battle cruisers, 2 Saratoga-class aircraft carriers, 20 Clear Sky-class..." The officer began to read the latest battlefield report.
"Have the Earthlings sent all their main forces here?" King Solei asked in surprise.
But at this time, three Lord God-class ships and ten Yinglong-class ships suddenly spit out tongues of fire at the same time!
Because it was fired during a high-speed charge, the accuracy was not very high. In addition, the guard ships had set up their shields early during the march, so the protective effect should naturally be full.
As a result, we could only talk about how a few warships were affected by the expanding energy, but the damage suffered was very limited. But even so, an ion energy shell did explode at a very close distance from the Xiaolong, and the dazzling flash had already disappeared from the sky.
The light from the portholes spilled into the bridge, and even though it was protected by blackout armor, the scene inside the bridge suddenly became brighter by more than one color.
"Main gun No. 1, counterattack immediately. Can you confirm the location of the Fuxi?" King Thoren ordered loudly.
Of course, it can be confirmed. After all, the Fuxi has long been the number one "enemy ship" that the imperial generals at all levels have quickly eliminated. What's more, the opponent is charging rapidly towards us and has no intention of concealing its existence.
The lookout quickly projected the Fuxi of the positioning ship onto the light screen. This greatest dreadnought in history was at the forefront of its own formation - although the empire had always claimed that the Barbarossa class was the most perfect high-speed dreadnought.
, but after all, they couldn't produce any demonstrable results - surrounded by wing ships and Yinglong-class ships, they were making basic tactical maneuvers while maintaining a forward charge.
Imperial artillery fire flickered at the Fuxi's side, but it never made her make any movement.
Like a brave man who led the charge despite a hail of bullets, King Thorane had mixed feelings for a moment.
"He's here." He said solemnly.
Then, he felt the low air pressure on the bridge.
You are all well-trained elite officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army! Now you act as if you have seen a natural enemy. This is really unreasonable! King Thoraine is very dissatisfied. He feels that respecting powerful enemies is the virtue of a warrior.
, but if respect turns into physical fear of natural enemies, then it is better to take off the military uniform as soon as possible and go back to farming.
"Fire at the Fuxi!" he shouted.
"We are adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan. It will take another minute." the gunnery chief responded.
"Why another minute?" King Solain felt that he might need to shoot the person. As a new vassal king who had just ascended the throne, he wanted to be kind to others and love his soldiers as sons.
I look forward to getting along with everyone. But why do you always want to bring out the violent side of the Dragon King?
"Just now, we have been aiming at Fortress Seide." The adjutant replied in a low voice.
King Thoraine couldn't help but be speechless.
But at this moment, the second main gun salvo from the Community fleet came over.
This time, the hit rate was of course higher, and the power became more powerful. Waves of energy and physical barrage dismantled the combined shield deployed by the Nightmare Mountain class on the spot, and the impact of the explosion immediately hit the empire.
spread throughout the fleet.
This time, even King Thoraine, who was standing on the bridge of the Titan ship, could not help but feel the violent vibration. He also received the news that the ship was hit half a minute later.
Of course, since it was a Titan ship, a single rail gun shot could not cause any serious damage. However, the fact that three Tribute-class ships were torn to pieces on the spot attracted his attention on the spot.
The fleet formation is indeed too dense! More importantly, because of the charging speed just now, the opponent's fleet actually succeeded in cutting the T position.
King Soren had no choice but to give an order to temporarily disband the current artillery formation, and then ordered nearby auxiliary ships to quickly come over for reinforcements. However, at this time, in the airspace where the fleets of both sides continued to build up, a large row of small ships appeared
Suddenly it unfolded its gorgeous light wings, opened the space bubble, and instantly exerted an explosive power that eclipsed the god-level neutrino engine.
In this insignificant gap in the interstellar space, the lightning strike ships jumped out and arrived in the most dangerous glow.
"I was fooled..." King Solain closed his eyes, feeling numb in his heart.
His ears were filled with the anxious voices of imperial officers: "Here, where did these torpedo ships come from? We didn't find them just now?"
"Is it the tiger and leopard riding type? Could it be that it was just released from the main god-level hangar?"
"Launching an airship at charging speed? When did the Community have this technology? Aren't all those pilots psychic?"
"I understand! They were just running parallel to the Lord God class! The people on earth used the projection of the battleship to block the lightning strike ship!"
Of course, this would be a huge test for the fleet movement of the people on earth. However, it is still more scientific than launching auxiliary boats from the opponent's warships during the charge.
After all, the Yulian fleet, which caused the Holy Galactic Empire to suffer its greatest losses since the Seventh Galactic War, is so brave and elite that it is only natural that it can engage in particularly professional fleet movements.
Of course, all the above are just speculations. The only thing that can be confirmed is that a total of sixteen lightning strike ships have already come towards me.
Fortunately, those present were all elites of the Imperial Space Fleet. Although they were caught off guard by this sudden attack, they still arranged various air defense missions.
Three minutes later, when these lightning strike ships passed through the gaps between the scattered imperial warships like swifts, King Thoraine was also shaken awake by an even more violent earthquake in the bridge. Of course, he immediately
Got the adjutant's report.
Bad news, Xiaolong was hit by a space bubble torpedo.
The good news is that the damage was not serious.
The better news is that it did not have any impact on key functions such as maneuverability, speed, simulated gravity, life support systems, energy supply, etc. Even the dead crew members were just over a hundred years old.
The worse news is that three more Ode-class ships and one Nightmare-class ship were destroyed, and five more battleships were seriously damaged.
"Okay, okay, this so-called arsenal ship! It's really just a thin-crust apple pie!" King Thorane thought of Sister Brynhilt's comments and regretted it for a moment.
"I'm so stupid! Really, I just know that these battleships were built after all, and they still made great contributions in the Battle of Judgment, and I still want to use the waste! I'm really stupid, really, I just shouldn't do this
What do you expect from a battleship?" He murmured, and then gave himself a slap.
The bad news is that the young Emperor Selector seemed to be shocked by the tragic fate and began to harm himself.
The good news is that he quickly regained his composure after the self-mutilation, and he is indeed worthy of being a professionally trained royal highness.
"Ask the surrounding squadrons to come back and rescue me immediately!" He was a frank and extravagant character. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the line "rescue me" at all. Indeed, he didn't look like a young man at all.
Then, he asked him again: "Where is the squadron closest to us?"
"...This is the Sobek fleet, which is advancing on alert at this space point. Their mission is to clear the enemy turret array cluster in Z area."
"Yeager Soback? What a reliable name. Let them come back immediately for reinforcements. I don't want to be ridiculed by the Thunder Strike Ship again." King Soleyn seemed a little lucky.
After all, the arsenal ship has entered the category of large and medium-sized battleships. And the strictest military education he has received has always told him that within the first two minutes of the battle, several large and medium-sized battleships were sunk. This shows that one's own side
There are problems with the formation and tactics and must be adjusted as soon as possible.
Of course, if the battle situation is fierce and cannot be adjusted, you have to think about how to retreat.
When the situation continues to be disrupted, there are examples in history of commanders who never lacked decisiveness. They wanted to save themselves when they were at a disadvantage, so they turned a small defeat into a disastrous defeat.
King Thorane felt that he should reorganize his formation now, let the surrounding squadrons return to support, and then retreat slowly.
Of course, if he wants to save most of the fleet, he may have to use the Xiaolong Titan to cut off the rear. He has already realized this, and as the new vassal king, he should take this risk.
But at this time, he received the report again.
"...The enemy fleet has accelerated again. It has changed into a spindle shape and is moving in an arc." King Solain heard the captain's reminder again.
