172. Battle of Malastare Canyon (final)
A set of General Trench's combo punches hit him head and face, directly knocking Wullf-Captain Yularen into confusion.
He had no idea that he would lose so miserably in such a battle against the mercenaries of those business giants! And there's nothing fancy about it, it's just a complete failure in the art of conducting!
Wulf-Yularen was born into a military family, and his father Tur-Yularen was a famous naval commander in the Republic. Under the guidance of his father, he began his military command career at an early age.
He graduated from the military academy with excellent grades, and did not choose to join the corrupt Republic Judicial Fleet, but went to serve in the Quimar Star Sector Defense Fleet. Because Kwymar Sector is not a very peaceful star zone, and it often needs to face pirate attacks.
In constant actual combat, Wullf-Yularen has grown at an alarming rate, and he himself is also very confident. He believes that among the entire Galactic Republic, there are only a handful of Commander who are better than himself. With his father's teachings and foreshadowing, he will one day become a general commanding thousands of battleships to sail across the galaxy!
However, this was the first time he commanded a large-scale fleet battle, and he immediately lost completely!
Corporate Alliance The unknown Commander over there caught his mindset. He believed that since the opponent was a blockade fleet, they would definitely set up a formation and wait for work with superior firepower. But the opponent did the opposite, seizing the time of his hyperspace jump, taking the initiative, and wedged himself directly into the formation of his fleet.
Moreover, the other party continued to release wrong information, because during Malastare's previous tentative breakthroughs, Corporate Alliance's fleet always stayed around the pre-arranged Interdictor. Then he will naturally arrange his tactics based on the known range of the blocker.
As a result, the opponent actually hid a second blocker, interrupting their hyperspace jump in advance, and then accelerated their fleet in advance. In less than 3 minutes after Republic fleet had just left hyperspace, the battle was dragged into a melee situation that was most unfavorable to them!
Then Commander gave full play to the advantages of his spaceships and advanced with a fleet of unknown spacecrafts. Because the spacecraft of that fleet have excellent performance, with both speed and flexibility, and then use the powerful Wraith fighter to disrupt one's own formation, giving the fleet an opportunity to directly make a big turn!
After that, they launched multiple attacks, completely tearing apart their own fleet's formation, leaving them in a desperate situation of fighting on their own!
Now, another choice is before Wullf-Yularen - how his final trump card, the main formation with Lord Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser as the core, will act.
This is related to the life and death of their entire army!
Cold sweat had completely soaked the back of the military uniform. Wullf-Yularen stared blankly at the holographic projection of the battlefield, watching the battleships being destroyed one after another, and watching Corporate Alliance's mercenaries wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
Now Corporate Alliance's fleet, headed by five Fantail-class destroyers, points all its guns at its own ship, Lordship-class heavy cruiser. As long as his main formation continued to advance, it would be bombarded by concentrated artillery fire almost immediately.
If it was before, then he had 10,000 ways to break this situation, because Fantail-class destroyer itself only had one large Turbolaser cannon, which was very inflexible. But at this moment, the battle situation has reached this point. If his main formation moves forward, there will be no other way except to face the powerful firepower of Fantail-class destroyer head-on!
"Sir... the database comparison has come out." The adjutant came over and whispered, "Based on the logo on the opponent's flagship, Corporate Alliance of the mercenary fleet Commander is General Trench, that Commander who is known for his brutality. And he is not serving in Republic Navy, but has been active on many battlefields as a mercenary Commander."
Wullf-Yularen breathed a long sigh of relief and said seriously, "The main formation stops advancing! Order all spaceships to abandon the existing front line and reorganize the defense line with Lord as the core!"
The adjutant was shocked, "Sir! This means that we will completely abandon the left and right ships! Especially the right wing will almost certainly suffer a devastating blow!"
"This is better than the devastating blow to our entire fleet!" Yularen slammed his fist on the command platform, "Immediately request help from Republic Senate! Tell them that we will do our best to defend the front, but we can only hold on for another half day at most!"
"Yes..." The adjutant looked miserable and immediately began to send out signals for help.
"Mercenary Commander... He is just a mercenary Commander..." Wullf-Yularen supported the command platform with both hands, his body shaking.
The galaxy is so full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers that Commander, who is not in the military and has been a mercenary for a long time, can actually hang him up and beat him, a top student who graduated from the regular Naval Academy, like a child!
The battle that lasted just half an hour had almost destroyed all his confidence!
"There is public channel signal access!" the communications soldier shouted.
In the holographic projection in front, a man as scary as a spider appeared. He was wearing a military coat and holding a pointer, but he was also elegant.
"Galactic Republic Over there... the unknown Commander, tsk tsk tsk tsk. I have actually received the gift you gave me! tsk tsk tsk tsk... But I am a greedy person, and I want... more! More! Until the death of all of you is confirmed! tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Trench said, leaning directly in front of the communicator, his six scarlet eyes almost filled the entire holographic screen, "Now... scream! Run away! Pray! Maybe, you can still survive... tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
He dropped the last sentence and then directly closed the public frequency communication.
Among the flagships of Fourth Civilization fleet, Tang Xiao looked at the information in the public channel, smiled slightly, turned to Ni Yongxiao and said, "Look, this is why I like General Trench very much."
Then he said to Helmut-Baron Zemo on the side, "Okay, the battle is almost over. Next is performance time."
The tragic battle situation was conveyed to Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Phineas-Valorum's desk almost immediately through hyperspace communication. When he heard the news, his legs softened and he almost slipped off the desk.
"How... how is it possible! It only took half an hour for the defense forces of the three star districts... No, this is impossible!" Phineas-Valorum completely lost his usual demeanor and slapped the table and shouted.
