1707. Yago-Durr Counterattack (1)

After the attendants of Onana-Kuat left the room, they did not go about their own business. Instead, they gathered together and whispered. Some people even took out their personal terminals and showed something to everyone.

Soon, when they looked at Onana-Kuat's room again, their expressions turned contemptuous.

After a moment, these attendants turned around and left, and they drove away the luxurious shuttle Onana-Kuat without ceremony.

Before they left, they didn't forget to turn off the lights.

That's right, Kuat's energy and Kuat's lamp will not light up for an outsider.

There was deathly silence all around, leaving only the trembling Onana-Kuat alone facing the darkness and fear.

The next day, at Dawn Star System's command center, a shuttle spray-painted with the Kuat Drive Yards logo flew into the space port - it was the car of Onana-Kuat.

The hatch opened, and Little Kuat came out with Quat Planet Councilor Gideon Danu and several of Kuat Drive Yards's highest-level officials. Those officials personally held several data storage devices wrapped in red ribbons.

There is no doubt that if you want to use credit points to measure the contents of these data memories, just the long string of zeros at the end can blind people!

Without stopping, they went directly to the core of the command center to meet the man who could save Kuat Drive Yards.

Dunn-Vesex!

At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa at the top of the command center, with his legs crossed, as if he were the king of the world! Indeed, if you want to calculate the power in the hands of Dunn-Vesex, I am afraid that ruling the world is not just talk.

And Lila-Blythex stood behind him obediently like a little bird, putting away her usual arrogance and intrigues, and playing her role with peace of mind.

This... role can keep her alive...

Fortunately, Dunn-Vesex is still deeply fascinated by her performance.

Little Kuat brought his entourage of senior officials to Dunn-Vesex and respectfully presented his gift.

Then they screened out everyone except Little Kuat, Dunn and Lila, who talked in secret for several hours.

Later, when Little Kuat left with his people empty-handed, there was already a slight smile on his face full of feminine temperament.

Modell Sector's raid battle, although extremely bloody and cruel, did not last long.

Soon, when the news of the failure of the battle spread to another battlefield through secret channels, the face of Galaxy Republic fleet commander Gideon-Tarkin here was full of solemnity.

He knew that there was not much time left for him.

The specific results of Modell Sector Campaign are still unclear. They don't know how much Duchy of Dawn's losses were in this battle. The only thing that can only be certain is that the more than 300 battleships and more than 1.5 million Clone Trooper sent by Galactic Republic and Kuat Drive Yards to Modell Sector in this battle, as well as supplies worth hundreds of millions, are basically certain that none of them will be returned.

But how much they lost is not the key. The biggest key is how much Duchy of Dawn is left! Once this calculation is wrong, it may mean disaster for the battlefield he is on!

Because he has no idea how many troops were liberated from the Duchy of Dawn Modell Sector battlefield!

But if they just retreat like this, Gideon-Tarkin also knows that this is impossible to be accepted by Republic military, or even the Speaker Sheev-Palpatine.

This time Galactic Republic can be said to have tried its best to attack Duchy of Dawn, but then suffered a disastrous defeat at Modell Sector. Don't say that the lost battleships all belong to Kuat Drive Yards. To put it bluntly, don't they also belong to Galactic Republic?

It's just that because Kuat Drive Yards was involved, the use of those warships was not calculated into Galactic Republic's already deficit military expenditure.

In the future, Galactic Republic will continue to order warships. Can the delivery volume of Kuat Drive Yards not be reduced? This is not a loss of what is the power of Galactic Republic?

Under such circumstances, if the Yago-Dur galaxy has failed to make any contribution, then this can be said to be a devastating blow to the reputation of Galactic Republic!

But the battle in the Yago-Dur system has developed to this point, and Gideon-Tarkin really doesn't want to continue the fight.

Because his fleet just experienced a defeat not long ago, and the main reason for the failure was the Consul-class aircraft carrier among the Duchy of Dawn defenders!

The terrifying Swarm Drones can even ignore the electromagnetic storm caused by stellar flares and fight in extreme astronomical environments!

Coupled with their extremely powerful combat effectiveness, Republic fleet, which was temporarily without fighter cover at the time, was defeated and had to temporarily return to its frontline base built with the remaining four shield ships to regroup.

Although the fleet of Gideon-Tarkin still has the advantage, he is completely different from the new recruit Cassio-Tagge. The step-by-step strategy he customized for this Yago-Dur system battle is still in effect.

Republic fleet, which is now in the Yago-Dur system, has experienced the previous big defeat, and has since added some more, including about 70 capital ships and 150 small and medium-sized warships.

Among them, there are 13 Knight-class Star Destroyer, 60 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, 1 Commander II-class Dreadnought, 64 Aquitenes-class light cruiser, 15 Kallak-class light cruiser, and more than 70 frigate-level warships such as DP-20 gunboats.

That's right, most of the supplements are small and medium-sized battleships, and the backbone of the fleet, Knight-class Star Destroyer, has not been able to supplement even one after losing 6 ships in the last failure.

However, the only thing that makes Gideon-Tarkin feel gratified is that the 10 Vindicator-class heavy cruiser prototype ships provided by Sienar Fleet Systems are now on the road. The current situation of these prototype ships is not very stable. They will stay at the forward base near the Yago-Dur system and wait for the engineers of Sienar Fleet Systems to conduct final debugging work on these warships before they can be put into the battlefield.

It should be after 3 to 5 days.

Moreover, Vindicator-class heavy cruiser is a warship with an enhanced fire control system and Point Defense System, which attaches great importance to the air defense capabilities of the warship.

The addition of this kind of battleship should enable his fleet to cope with the threat of Swarm Drones!
