2375.The Empire Strikes Back (1)
Executor-class Star Destroyer's extremely huge body is very conspicuous even on the cosmic battlefield. The scene of 5,000 heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons firing salvos was also extremely spectacular. The dense red beams flashed continuously, pouring out like rain.
Opposite Executor, Xuanwu Titan warship is like a lone boat in the storm, crumbling in front of Executor.
Not only because Xuanwu Titan warship, which is only 9,400 meters long, is obviously like a child when facing the 19,000-meter-long super huge body of Executor, but also because of the gap in firepower between the two sides!
Countless explosions exploded on the battleship. Even if it had a thick main armor belt, even if it was equipped with electric heating armor, even if Rampage Defense mode was turned on, allowing countless Nanobots to repair the damaged armor at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xuanwu Titan warship was still seriously injured in the face of Executor-class's crazy attack.
The interior of the city wall-like hull on both sides of Xuanwu warship once again emitted a dark red light. As the powerful reactor provided a huge amount of energy, a light green light once again shone on all Kingdom of Dawn battleships within tens of thousands of kilometers, including Xuanwu itself.
Fleet Shield!
Executor-class Super Star Destroyer doesn't care about that much at all. No matter you are Fleet Shield or Rampage Defense, you just use all your firepower, one word - explode!
The light green light shrouding Xuanwu Titan warship dissipated at an extremely fast speed. Every bright red Turbolaser beam fired from Executor-class Super Star Destroyer that hit Fleet Shield would neutralize part of the shield energy.
And even the Fleet Shield cannot withstand the concentrated bombardment of 5,000 Turbolaser cannons!
Fleet Shield was defeated, and dense explosions fell on the main armor belt of the battleship again. However, with the buffer of Fleet Shield, the tens of trillions of Nanobots under Rampage Defense mode have repaired a lot of the cracked armor belt, and can withstand more attacks.
At the same time, five Durov-class Battlecruisers have arrived behind Xuanwu Titan warship, and they are also at full power to provide more energy supply for Xuanwu, increase reactor output, and directly project shield energy.
There is no doubt that Ling Liang is also doing its best to support Xuanwu Titan warship. Because as long as Xuanwu is still there, the fleet will still be there!
Compared with Xuanwu Titan warship being suppressed by Executor-class Super Star Destroyer and being out of breath, the situation of other warships on the battlefield of Kingdom of Dawn is much better.
Xuanwu Titan warship almost spared no effort to open Fleet Shield continuously, which gave the Kingdom of Dawn warships in a dense formation a very strong protection.
Under the protection of Fleet Shield, 80 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers have almost been supporting the powerful firepower of hundreds of Imperial-class Star Destroyers until now!
Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser is known for its powerful and thick armor, and it is equipped with voltage-type thermal energy armor, which can minimize high-temperature damage to the armor. This made this kind of battlecruiser block the front like a wall, allowing the crazy charging Imperial fleet to crash into it, but it did not achieve a breakthrough.
For the Galactic Empire battleship, thanks to the excellent performance of the Turbolaser cannon, the voltage-type thermal energy attached armor equipped with Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser cannot completely offset the firing of the Turbolaser cannon. After all, the attack of the Turbolaser cannon is explosive gas heated into plasma. In addition to high temperature, such an attack also has powerful explosive power, which can attack Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser.
At a distance of 20 light seconds from the battlefield, 40 Calamity-class battlecruisers are also using Particle Beam Lances for long-range shooting without interruption. They are also the main firepower output of Kingdom of Dawn fleets.
In addition, on the battlefield, Fire Cloud series missile attacks from Martha-class missile heavy cruiser and Hypermatter Railgun from Kohl-class Battlecruiser can also pose obvious threats to Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
However, the number of Imperial fleet is too many!
Time came to October 7, and the number of Imperial-class Star Destroyer participating in the battle on the Yago-Dur planet has increased to 550! This was the result of a whole day of fighting, in which more than 20 ships were destroyed and more than 50 ships were severely damaged!
In other words, on the first day of battle, Galactic Empire Navy suffered casualties of more than 500,000 soldiers!
Kingdom of Dawn's Guardian Fleet also suffered very serious losses, but under the cover of Fleet Shield fired continuously by Xuanwu Titan warship, most of the warships were only severely damaged, but rarely sunk.
After a day of fighting, 6 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser ships were sunk and 42 ships were severely damaged. Two other battleships were sunk and 19 were seriously damaged. Compared with the heavy losses of Imperial fleet, the losses of Kingdom of Dawn fleet can only be said to be insignificant.
But Das-Vader's offensive has not stopped. Not only that, he has not invested any warships except Imperial-class Star Destroyer in the battle so far.
He uses the powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyer as a huge and rough battle ax. Even if the technical content is insufficient and the shooting is defective, the huge body of 1600 meters and the terrifying energy output of the L-A2B solar furnace reactor will directly make the bricks fly, offsetting the precise and high-end technical advantages of Kingdom of Dawn!
Das-Vader's plan was very direct - he directly invested all Imperial-class Star Destroyer as forwards. After opening up the situation, he gradually invested in Victory II-class Star Destroyer, as well as various second-line ships such as Light Cruiser and Heavy Cruiser to expand the results.
He is not an indecisive loser like General Michel-Anser, such a worthless thing! On the other side of his soul is Anakin-Skywalker! It is the super Commander that participated in almost all large-scale military operations during Clone Wars Galactic Republic!
Facing the powerful Kingdom of Dawn battleship, if you still fight with the mentality of "wanting both and wanting more", the result will be nothing.
Das-Vader assembled more than 2100 capital ships in Fondor Planet! This is his Death Squadron, plus the fleet that attacked Rendili Planet before, plus the Fondor Planet defenders, a huge force gathered from three parties.
This fleet is almost the entire mobile fleet of the Galactic Empire!
And Das-Vader is determined to destroy all the mobile fleet this time and launch an attack!
It was precisely because he misjudged his determination that Operation Zero, who had pinned his hopes on containing Imperial fleet and forming a strategic siege situation as soon as possible, suffered a blow.
On the afternoon of October 7, Xuanwu Titan warship was seriously damaged, and General Ling Liang ordered Xuanwu to withdraw from the battle. At the same time, Executor-class Super Star Destroyer was also seriously damaged and began to retreat. However, at this time, the pressure on Kingdom of Dawn First Task Force's other warships suddenly increased sharply, and they also began to suffer serious battle losses.
Dawn Star Planet, on the other hand, began to dispatch as many warships as possible from the surrounding area to come for reinforcements. Facing Das-Vader's offensive, they even looked a little embarrassed.
At this time, a difficult choice was also placed in front of Sefrans-Admiral Tann.
Should we take a detour to attack Fondor Planet, or go back directly and add more planets to Yago-Dur?
The attack on Fondor Planet is obviously still the implementation of Operation Zero. Taking advantage of the absence of Galaxy Empire main fleet and cooperating with Novalith Cannon, there is a high chance that it will be captured.
But the problem is that the planet Yago-Dur can no longer hold on!
