2359. Disastrous defeat Anselm (Part 2)
A large group of Undertaker-class Light Cruiser has now broken into the formation of Imperial fleet, strangled together with a large number of the Empire battleships.
But at this time, Gillard-Perine saw what hob meat and shit stirring sticks are.
After entering the melee state, because they do not have to directly face the powerful frontal firepower of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, these warships have more room to play. Especially those Aquitenes-class light cruiser and Vigil-class corvette who were deployed at the back of the formation by Gillard-Perine. After getting into a fight with Reaper-class, they realized that something was not right.
After being attacked, Undertaker-class Light Cruiser immediately began to emit a ray stream with a large number of Nanobots to quickly repair the surrounding friendly warships. Not only that, these warships were originally located in cargo warehouses, but now have several rapid-fire turrets installed, pouring out a large number of powerful shells in a short period of time!
In a corner of the battlefield, a formation of ten Undertaker-class Light Cruisers rushed fiercely towards a Victory II-class Star Destroyer. The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was already adjusting its direction. After discovering this formation, it was rude and immediately turned its gun muzzle and fired a salvo.
The front Reaper-class suddenly fell into a sea of fire, its main armor belt was melted, and its internal facilities caught fire. However, almost at the same time, several surrounding mourners immediately emitted a light green light and shone in. The flames in the illuminated area were quickly extinguished, and the armor was also quickly restored.
Trillions of Nanobots are repairing the damaged spacecraft at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only the outer armor, but even the damaged equipment can be restored to a certain extent!
At the same time, several other Reaper-classs had broken through at high speed, approaching from up, down, left, and right directions, and then stretched out four turrets from their cargo positions and aimed at the Victory II-class, firing wildly.
The firepower of 10 Undertaker-class Light Cruisers actually caused the alarm to continuously sound in the bridge of this Victory II-class Star Destroyer ship! According to computer analysis, what they fired seemed to be a beam, but in fact it was detected by the computer that it had both energy and kinetic energy attacks! And it's very powerful!
The Victory II-class Star Destroyer also continued to fire back. The heavy Turbolaser cannon quickly severely damaged the other two Reaper-class. However, these warships were not damaged and were quickly withdrawn while other warships were undergoing remote maintenance. And Victory II-class's Deflector Shield has also been defeated at this moment!
"What kind of guns do these spaceships use?! This can't possibly have such power!" The captain of Victory II-class Star Destroyer exclaimed. He quickly ordered his warship to retreat, not daring to tangle with these Light Cruiser any longer.
At the same time, this is also the voice of the vast majority of the Empire battleship captains who exchanged fire with Undertaker-class Light Cruiser on the battlefield. Why are the firepower of these Light Cruiser so powerful?
However, sighing, the Imperial Navy officers also noticed that although these Reaper-classs have powerful firepower, their range is extremely limited, so they must rush close to use their firepower.
On the other side of the battlefield, seeing that his fleet had completely smashed the Imperial fleet formation, Admiral Mar-Tuk showed a satisfied smile. He waved his hand and said, "Don't give these the Empire guys a chance to breathe! Let the Reaper-class formation continue to charge and fight! Don't care about the losses!"
"Roger!" T-series tactical robot immediately conveyed the order.
The reason why Admiral Mar-Tuk was not distressed was that, on the one hand, Trade Federation was not cheap to make Reaper-class. On the other hand, it was also because the first batch of Reaper-class produced were actually defective products according to the standards of Kingdom of Dawn Navy.
During the initial construction, Newt Gunray had the huge cargo warehouse of Reaper-class retained, intending to use this warship as an armed cargo ship. Therefore, the initial Reaper-class had very weak firepower, and was equipped with a remote repair system that could remotely repair other warships with Nanobots.
Naturally, this kind of warship cannot be sent to the battlefield, so after being scolded by General Ling Liang, Trade Federation modified these warships. They reduced the capacity of the cargo bay and then installed a four-door heavy-duty Ion Rapid-Fire Cannon.
Ion Rapid-Fire Cannon is a new type of artillery that Trade Federation analyzed from the scientific and technological data of Gallente. The firing of this artillery the Force is to crack rare metals into subatomic particles and spheres, and then launch them after being restrained by a magnetic field. This kind of attack can sometimes penetrate directly without triggering Deflector Shield. After hitting the armor, the subatomic particles can directly penetrate into the middle of the armor metal and then release energy, causing extremely serious damage to the armor.
However, the disadvantage is that this state does not last long. After launch, the magnetic field confinement can only last for a maximum of about 0.7 seconds.
This results in the range of Ion Rapid-Fire Cannon being only a few dozen kilometers.
Of course, since the performance of these modified Reaper-classs is not up to standard, the current Galactic Empire naval officers have not paid much attention to this weapon that will become one of their biggest nightmares in the future. They just think that these ugly-looking, dump truck-like cruisers have quite strong firepower.
These Reaper-class are just troublemakers, which is very annoying, but until now, there are still very few the Empire battleships that have actually been sunk by Reaper-class.
However, at this moment, due to the brief chaos caused by the sudden betrayal of the planet Anselm, Reaper-class broke into the center of Imperial fleet's formation. This allows Commerce Guild Fleet's other warships to maximize their firepower. Whether it is Kohl II-class battlecruiser's two-door twin-mounted Hypermatter Railgun or Minotaur-class Heavy Cruiser's Yamato Cannon, these are the truly powerful firepower output.
Facing the aggressive Commerce Guild Fleet, Gillard-Perine once again backed down. He had judged that if this battle continued like this, his fleet would definitely suffer very serious losses.
In the past, Galactic Empire was not afraid of losing battles with Duchy of Dawn, but now, after Kira planet lost nearly 1,000 battleships in one battle, Galactic Empire no longer had such confidence.
What's more, now the Gillard-Perine fleet is drawn from the defense lines in various places. Once this fleet suffers serious losses, it means that the defense line that he has worked hard for ten years will become riddled with holes!
And under such a strategic situation, don't expect many reinforcements from the Galactic Empire!
Gillard-Perine is a very decisive person. He immediately issued an order, "Notify all ships to break away from the battle one by one and prepare to retreat!" He must not wait until he is truly unbeatable before retreating. If so, it will not be a retreat, but a massacre.
However, as soon as he gave the order, the hoarse screams of the radar soldiers came from the side, "General!! A fleet appeared behind us!! It's Geth!! It's Geth!!!"
