1442. Escape

At this moment, the situation of Dorin Planet and Galactic Republic fleet is already in danger. This fleet composed of 20 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and 33 Aquitenes-class light cruiser has completely fallen into a passive position.

This fleet is Galactic Republic Seventh Army's Second Sub-fleet. Since Eighth Army of the Republic's capital, the planet Ord-Mantel, was captured and Governor Fan Ke fled, Eighth Army of the Republic was declared destroyed.

But Eighth Army actually only lost a few core planets including the Ord-Mantel planet. Within the vast jurisdiction of the Eighth Army, there are still a large number of areas that still fall under the jurisdiction of Galactic Republic.

Therefore, Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command later made adjustments to the Eighth Army, assigning all remaining jurisdictions of the Eighth Army to the Seventh Army, and at the same time asked Seventh Army to adjust the defense area as soon as possible to deal with Geth's invasion.

Seventh Army's Second Sub-fleet was actually transferred from the remaining forces of the Eighth Army and reorganized. Fleet Commander is still General Eureka, and Gillard-Perine are naturally among them.

Second Sub-fleet was originally ordered to reinforce Dorin Planet who was attacked by Geth. They transported more than 40,000 Clone Trooper to reinforce and intercept Geth fleet on the periphery of the planet.

Those Clone Trooper are all Kamino version Clone Trooper, although in Galactic Republic other war zones, Kamino version Clone Trooper has withdrawn In active service, several legions where Northern Galaxy is raging in Geth have applied to Galactic Republic to retain Clone Trooper's establishment to fight against the terrifying Geth army.

Republic Supreme Strategic Command agreed.

Therefore, Clone Army with as many as 40,000 people was invested on the battlefield of Dorin Planet. If it were in the past, this behavior would be called a luxury!

However, after Seventh Army's Second Sub-fleet arrived at Dorin Planet, they discovered that the enemy they faced was not simple!

There are more Geth fleet than them, but they are generally very small in size. Among them, there are 18 Geth cruiser in the 300-meter class, about 70 Geth destroyer in the 150-meter class, and more than 50 Geth frigate in the 80-meter class.

If under normal circumstances, a fleet composed of small and medium-sized warships wanted to challenge a fleet with 20 kilometer-class battleships guaranteed, it would be a complete disaster.

But in Geth fleet, the size of the battleship has a completely different meaning.

There is no need for any living facilities and life support equipment, nor is there any need for a built-in artificial Gravity Generator. The entire Geth warship is just a single Geth unit! It's just that this collection of Geth unit is extremely large, consisting of tens of thousands of Geth units, so that it can achieve enough computing power to control its battleship-sized body.

So in this case, Geth warship almost has four things from beginning to end - armor, energy, weapons, engines, and no other superfluous things. This also makes the ion cannon fired by Geth warship very powerful. The gunfire of a 300-meter warship is completely comparable to that of Hunter Class!

At the same time, the control performance of these Geth warship, including acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc., far exceeds that of ordinary battleships, which gives them extremely terrifying maneuverability.

So on the battlefield, this Geth fleet used its own mobility and flexibility to adopt a strategy of dividing and surrounding Republic fleet to defeat each one. They formed a numerical advantage in every part of the battlefield, biting like locusts at the lone Republic warship.

The reason why Second Sub-fleet's Flagship Mingxing Hunter Class Battlecruiser was besieged by Geth warship and almost destroyed was because of the consequences of such a battle situation.

Now, Second Sub-fleet temporary agent Commander Gillard-Perine is standing in front of the communicator and said seriously, "If you still want to survive, immediately abandon all enemy targets in front of you and move closer to our ship! We must form a dense formation with a distance of no more than 200 meters!"

"The distance should not exceed 200 meters? Do you, a hairless boy like you, know what you are talking about? According to the combat rules, the safe distance between each warship should be maintained at more than 10 kilometers in combat!" Someone questioned in the communication.

"This is our last chance! I have no time to explain to you! As agent Commander, I order you to execute the order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be arrested on the spot, and the deputy captain will take over the command!" Gillard-Perine said sternly.

It has been more than two years since the war broke out, and Galactic Republic Army has continued to grow. The hierarchy system in Republic army is now very strict, and any behavior that disobeys military orders is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, despite a lot of reluctance, the battleships of Second Sub-fleet still did it. One by one, the warships turned against the gunfire of Geth warship and flew towards the direction of Flagship Mingxing.

"Every ship listens to my instructions! Get into position according to the coordinates I gave! There must be no mistakes!" Gillard-Perine has entered the state. He is now standing in front of the holographic combat star map. The staff team next to him is quickly using a quantum computer to calculate the position of each warship according to the requirements of Perine.

Just when we were communicating, the bridge of the Mingxing battleship had resumed operation. With the cooperation of the efficient Damage Control Department and the medical department, the injured personnel were treated, the bodies and wreckage were cleaned, and more importantly, replacement personnel were in place.

The addition of substitutes has allowed all departments of the warship to operate again. This is also an important guarantee for Gillard-Perine to be able to carry out its own combat command.

Under his command, the remaining warships of Second Sub-fleet began to gather closer and closer, and then formed a very dense spherical formation with the Mingxing as the core.

Not only that, the artillery fire of each warship in the formation only needs to be responsible for a very narrow area, ensuring that the artillery fire is extremely concentrated and can cover every corner.

And the remaining fighter formations also surrounded the fleet, completely turning the entire fleet into a hedgehog!

This formation also offsets the powerful mobility of Geth warship to the greatest extent, and can maximize the firepower advantage of its own warship.

But the shortcomings are also obvious - not to mention that dense formations are prone to collisions. In such a formation, Republic warship almost completely gives up its mobility. Therefore, Geth warship does not need to aim, just fire all the firepower in this direction.

Then, Gillard-Perine issued the second order, "All battleship personnel, prepare for zero gravity! After 10 minutes, turn off the artificial gravity system! Then move towards the coordinates I gave!"

After someone saw the coordinates, they immediately roared in the communication, "Are you crazy? That place is Blackhole!!"

Thanks to the stubborn Slytherin for the reward of 500 Qidian Coin!!
