171.Battle of Malastare Canyon (6)

The four large blue laser cannons equipped on Fourth Civilization Revenge-class light destroyer fired continuously, and the powerful blue beams continued to shine on the Republic fleet spacecraft, which greatly shocked the soldiers who lacked training.

At the same time, the plasma bomb launcher starts firing!

This weapon is not the Energy Weapons that fires plasma ammunition, but a kind of plasma energy that is restrained by a magnetic outer layer. The principle is similar, but the application method is completely different. After this kind of bomb explodes, it will instantly burst out with powerful energy, causing extremely high damage to the energy shield.

But because the magnetic outer layer continues to dissipate, the plasma bomb's flight speed and range are not ideal.

But now, Fourth Civilization's fleet moved ahead and directly faced them, giving Revenge-class destroyer and Hammer-class light frigate equipped with plasma bomb launchers the opportunity to fire directly!

Republic fleet only had less than 3 minutes from leaving the hyperspace jump to starting the battle. In these short 3 minutes, it was already amazing that they were able to take off their fighter jets.

While Wraith fighter completely scattered the Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets that had taken off in a hurry, Fourth Civilization's fleet had already entered the range and opened fire directly with a longer attack range than Republic fleet!

At this time, Republic fleet was still wondering whether to attack those Wraith fighter, but the first round of blows from Fourth Civilization fleet came!

The shield of the CSS-1 shuttle in front was suddenly hit and flickered, "Amber shield is close to overload!! Pull back! Pull back!!"

The captain of the spacecraft gave the order hastily, and the spacecraft began to turn and retreat.

"Stabilize the battle line! All spaceships open fire with all their strength! Stop the enemy fleet from advancing!!" Wullf-Yularen shouted loudly.

Republic fleet's spacecraft fired back one after another, but with little effect. On the contrary, Fourth Civilization fleet's firepower was extremely fierce. Another salvo fired, this time directly destroying three PB-950 patrol boats.

The first artillery battle fell into a disadvantage, and Republic fleet, who was already in some confusion, was even more demoralized.

At this moment, General Trench issued the order again, "Wraith fighter formation, attack the left wing of Republic fleet! Fourth Group fleet, turn to the right immediately! Tsk tsk tsk tsk... full speed, move forward."

The order was immediately executed. After destroying the Z-95 fighter formation of Republic fleet, the 18 Wraith fighter piloted by Gnoll were originally cruising around the opponent's fleet. Now that they received the order, they immediately pounced on the left wing of Republic fleet like 18 hungry wolves!

The left wing is relatively weak, with only 10 CSS-1 Republic-class shuttle and 30 PB-950 gunboats, among which the CSS-1 shuttle has almost zero defense against fighters. The extremely cruel Gnoll pilot immediately tore apart the Republic fleet formation, and then directly launched all the Gemini missile in the magazine!

Dozens of explosive flames exploded on the left wing of Republic fleet. As Wraith fighter broke directly into the Republic fleet formation, the spacecraft suddenly became chaotic. Republic-class shuttle only has a fixed gun position in the front, so after being attacked by a fighter jet, it subconsciously rushes forward in order to distance itself and turn.

Those PB-950 patrol boats were fighting on their own, pinned in place by the fighter jets. Republic fleet's left wing suddenly fell into chaos and was divided into two parts!

Not only that, Fourth Group fleet suddenly began to turn to the right! Igor-Zavalov left five Cobalt-class heavy frigates to continue firing forward. The remaining spaceships all accelerated and circled towards the right wing of Republic fleet, assuming a posture to completely surround Republic fleet!

Because Fourth Civilization's fleet had been advancing forward before, Republic fleet almost all the spaceships Fire Control Radar were locked on them. At this moment, when Fourth Civilization fleet began to turn, the spacecraft on the right wing of Republic fleet followed involuntarily, making their formation longer and longer.

"Inform the right-wing troops to shrink the defense line! Don't follow the opponent's movement!" Wullf-Yularen realized that something was wrong and quickly gave the order loudly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... It's too late, recruit. Accept this defeat!" Trench suddenly waved his pointer, "The whole army, attack in pincer formation! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... Release all Vulture droid fighter!"

A large number of Vulture droid fighter flew out from Corporate Alliance fleet's spaceship! Vulture droid fighter is a light fighter. Because of its fully automatic operation, it is only 3.6 meters long. Corporate Alliance carries a large number of such fighters in the spacecraft warehouse.

Business giants including Trade Federation, Corporate Alliance, and InterGalactic Banking Clan are very fond of this fighter, and it has almost become their main air superiority force.

More than 100 Vulture fighter really flew out like a group of Vulture. At such a close distance, Vulture fighter broke into the Republic fleet formation in less than 2 minutes, and then bit like crazy. The laser cannon and Proton Torpedo fired continuously, completely disrupting Republic fleet's formation.

At the same time, Crimson Dawn's fleet inserted directly into the connection between Republic fleet's right wing and the main force like a sharp knife!

"Open fire at will throughout the ship!! Kill all these Galactic Republic lackeys! Leave no one alive! Hahahahahaha!!" Dryden-Vos laughed wildly on the bridge.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... White Worm Gang's fleet, pin the opponent's left wing fleet, cover Wraith fighter! tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Trench continued to order.

"Understood. All ships, listen to my instructions. Move to the left wing and all turrets fire at will!" Moloch also gave the order immediately.

"The main fleet obeys the order, slow down, and approach slowly. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... All Fire Control Radar, lock on the flagship of Republic fleet - that Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser... "Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Trench stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and let out a burst of triumphant laughter, "Accept my gift, Galactic Republic! This is the gift of killing, fire and death!"

There was no need for him to continue to give orders. Those Sikudian piratess screamed and drove miscellaneous spaceships past the formation of the Corporate Alliance main fleet and flew towards Republic fleet.

"Sir!! Our right wing formation was stretched and dispersed, and then divided and surrounded! The left wing was attacked by strong firepower and harassed by Wraith fighter and was unable to move! What should we do?" the staff officer shouted to Wullf-Captain Yularen with a look of panic.

Wullf-Yularen clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly. He understood that he had already lost this battle in less than half an hour!
