Chapter 1649 Yago-Dour Artillery Battle (4)
1649. Yago-Dour Artillery Battle (4)
In the Gideon-Tarkin fleet, almost all warships aimed their Turbolaser cannons at Starbase B and fired wildly. Not to mention Knight-class, even Hunter Class also tilted the hull forward and continued bombing with the XX-9 heavy Turbolaser cannon.
So under such a situation, facing the sudden attack of Swarm Drones, the entire Republic fleet was stunned and unable to take any effective action at all!
After all, Knight-class still has 40 point defense turrets. A warship like Hunter Class that leaves all its air defense to carrier-based aircraft is even more blind at this time!
Facing Swarm Drones's attack, Republic fleet almost immediately fell into chaos! You must know that these drones all flew out of Starbase B. It can almost be said that they rushed into the array of Republic fleet as soon as they took off!
With the crazy bombing of more than 20,000 drones, on average each Republic warship can be taken care of by more than 100 drones! Such a saturation attack is simply not something they can handle.
And at the same time, under the command of Matt-Hona, Duchy of Dawn fleet also launched a resolute counterattack!
No matter how miserably these warships were suppressed by Republic fleet before, they all ignored them now. Even if the warships were completely destroyed, they would rush forward and bombard them with their still intact main guns.
Even the 20 Calamity-class battlecruiser no longer evade the high-speed assault fleet of Galactic Republic at this moment. They stopped again from the evasive state, and Particle Beam Lance put out all its power!
Almost all the fighter jets guarding Republic warship were cleared out in just about 20 minutes! These fighter jets were not well connected in the electromagnetic radiation storm, and it was difficult to get guidance from the mothership's flight control management. In the end, they could only fly around and fight on their own.
After the initial wave of raids, Swarm Drones separated more than 5,000 aircraft and pounced on the Galactic Republic high-speed assault fleet that was fighting the Calamity-class battlecruiser formation!
Facing the attack of Swarm Drones, the performance of Aquitenes-class light cruiser and Kallak-class light cruiser of the high-speed assault fleet was even worse. Even the Kallak-class light cruiser, which is famous for its high speed, cannot give full play to its advantages in front of the extremely fast and flexible Swarm Drones.
The high-speed assault turned into a high-speed escape. After entangled with Swarm Drones for a while, these Light Cruiser found that there was no chance of winning, so they quickly turned around and fled in the direction of their own main fleet.
Republic fleet's confident offensive was completely disrupted.
This sudden change shocked Republic fleet commander Gideon-Tarkin. He rushed to the radar and shouted loudly, "This is impossible!! Impossible!! Even our fighter jets can't fight, why can these small drones?!"
"I don't know! Strong electromagnetic interference still exists! Even the communications we send to other warships are being interfered with!" said the communications soldier.
"Two-thirds of the volume of those micro drones are on the engine, and they are also equipped with extremely powerful plasma rays! It seems that the drones are completely dependent on remote control. How can they be so flexible in such an environment?!" Gideon-Tarkin was so angry that he even wanted to accuse Separatists of cheating!
"General! The high-speed assault fleet is turning around! The power generation inquiry has not been answered yet!"
"There are still 107 warships that have no communication response! The communication system interference has increased!"
"General! Oops! The power of the electromagnetic radiation storm is increasing! Our normal communications are also affected!"
"The fighter formation is confirmed to be unable to take off!"
Gideon-Tarkin looked at the densely packed Swarm Drones on the holographic star map that had been disturbed due to interference, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Because even now when the electromagnetic radiation storm is raging, those Swarm Drones still remain as fast and flexible as ever, and they still work in unison and cooperate seamlessly.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately! Save your strength!" Gideon-Tarkin gave the order decisively.
"General, we can't confirm whether the message has been actually conveyed! The interference now is too strong!" the adjutant said, sweating profusely.
"This ship will turn around immediately! Fire a thermal energy flare to notify all warships to retreat!" Gideon-Tarkin said.
Five signal flares of different colors were fired from the Republic fleet flagship, the Commander II-class Dreadnought. The flare burned rapidly, emitting extremely high temperature and brightness, like three small stars.
At the same time, Commander II-class Dreadnought ignored it and began to turn around, no longer willing to fight, and retreated towards the rear.
Due to communication interference, only some Republic warship who noticed these signals also began to retreat, but more warships were still fighting blindly, not realizing that their flagship had taken the lead.
At this time, on Duchy of Dawn fleet flagship, Consul-class aircraft carrier, Matt-Hona was still giving orders, "Launch signal flares and notify all ships to attack with all their strength! Kill Republic warship as much as possible!"
"General, the communication interference has increased and normal communication is no longer possible." The communication soldier turned around and said.
Matt-Hona then nodded, exhaled a long sigh of relief, and said to himself, "Okay... This will buy us some time... Next, just wait for the planet to change its orbit..."
He stretched out his hand to the communicator in front of him, and then thought about the communication interference, so he shook his head, turned around and walked towards a cabin behind the bridge.
After taking a heavily guarded elevator and passing through several safety doors, Matt-Hona arrived in front of a sealed cabin.
Through the spherical glass door of this cabin, I saw a woman standing in it - a Zabrak woman with pale skin!
The former apprentice of Master Shakti, Mary Si-Brud.
During the Kamino battle, Marys-Bruder was fallen to the Dark Side under the influence of Dream Sisters, and joined Fourth Civilization. Later, she was assigned to Darth-Lilim, but since Darth-Lilim went to Northern Territory, Marys-Bruder disappeared.
Who knew she was actually here!
And look at her body, connected to countless data lines, even the back of her head was opened, and hundreds of long, radiating needles penetrated directly into her brain!
"Start self-examination to confirm the impact of the electromagnetic radiation storm on you." Matt-Hona said calmly.
The Zabrak woman in front of her has become like this, and Matt-Hona still has no sympathy. Because in his opinion, this person was not a good person in the first place, and he came over to join him very hastily, so it was difficult for him to have any loyalty.
Now that it is connected to Consul-class aircraft carrier and becomes the command center of Swarm Drones, it is just a waste!
