2378.Bloody Battle of Fondor (1)
Sefrans-Tann is very eager to capture Fondor Planet, but it is definitely not a forceful attack in this way.
Fondor Planet's industrial production capacity can be ranked among the top three in the entire galaxy. It can be said that Galactic Empire is the largest industrial world besides the core industrial zones of several major industrial giants. The industrial scale here is second only to Quat Planet and Corellia, and even surpasses Rendili Planet!
The capture of Fondor Planet can be said to be of great significance. It will directly interrupt Galactic Empire's important industrial chain, causing Galactic Empire to lose one-tenth of its industrial output value. At the same time, the empire must reorganize its industrial production, including raw material supply, including parts production, etc.
In the short term, the impact of capturing Fondor Planet on the Galactic Empire can even reduce Galactic Empire's industrial output value by a quarter!
But in other words, conquering such an industrial world is not easy.
Fondor Planet The entire planet has been covered by factories. Now that Kingdom of Dawn Army has landed on the ground, every inch of land it sets foot on is covered with metal! Towering cooling towers, overvoltage substations with lightning and thunder, these magnificent industrial structures can be found everywhere on the planet.
Almost everywhere where Kingdom of Dawn Army lands, automatic turrets may rise from the ground and fire. Even on the battleship hulls that were being assembled on the production line, some of the installed artillery pieces turned their muzzles and fired.
While an army of more than 100,000 engineering robots blocked Fourth Legion's progress, an automated line of defense behind it was already taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Blaster cannon turrets, Turbolaser cannons, anti-aircraft missile sites... These automated defense facilities were quickly processed and constructed in the factory, and were transported in a modular manner by countless engineering robots and quickly assembled.
In just one hour, a line of defense consisting of hundreds of automatic turrets of various types has been formed in front of the Fourth Legion!
In the sky, Wraith fighter and Banshee Fighter also swooped down to bomb these artillery positions, but on Fondor Planet, anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft missiles were set up everywhere. This caused Kingdom of Dawn's air force to suffer serious losses.
Orbital Bombardment almost never stops, but even Orbital Bombardment has to take a lot of risks. Because the number of Orbital Defense Cannon on the ground has reached an astonishing level!
Hundreds of super nuclear bombs fell from the sky, but they were greeted by countless anti-aircraft fire. Most of the nuclear bombs were intercepted, and in the end only three nuclear bombs landed.
boom! boom! boom!!! Violent explosions and flames suddenly set off. Because there were metal structures everywhere, the explosion of the nuclear bomb could not even form a mushroom cloud. The high temperature and high pressure were blocked by the extremely strong factory structure, and it only destroyed facilities within a radius of 2 or 3 kilometers.
But for a planet whose entire surface is covered with factories, such damage would be minimal.
This is the defense capability of the industrial world!
Sefrans-Tann ordered that all warships, including Ogre-class Siege Cruiser, use full firepower, and carried out an extremely brutal Orbital Bombardment attack on Fondor Planet, but they still could not make the planet stop resisting.
More than a dozen modified Leviathan-class passenger liner rushed directly into the planet's atmosphere and were quickly destroyed by anti-aircraft fire. From the carrying compartment of the passenger spacecraft, countless insects enhanced by T-Veronica Virus flew out.
Ant colony!
Ant colonies immediately flew in from ventilation ducts around the world, parasitizing all living creatures they could come into contact with, and then mutated into powerful biological weapons in a short period of time.
However, this cannot stop the defensive power of Fondor Planet!
The population on Fondor Planet is not large, only about 5 billion, half of which are workers, and the other half are the families of these workers. And those truly wealthy nobles will not live in such an industrial world.
The things that keep the planet running basically rely on robots. On Fondor Planet,
The 'ant colony' parasitized and transformed hundreds of thousands of people, causing serious chaos in major factories on the planet, but that was all. Those scattered mutated biological weapons were quickly wiped out by the swarm of robots.
On the ground battlefield, Indjori Avenger Type 103 roared and charged forward, but what greeted them was a dense fire net.
Scorpion tank formed a swarm to launch an assault. The 90mm caliber electric thermal cannon fired rapidly at a rate of 100 rounds per minute, pouring firepower forward. At the same time, it ran over the remains of countless robots on the ground and directly broke through the defense line of the automatic turret, massacring the engineering robots Fondor Planet behind.
The defensive firepower was so powerful that Fourth Legion had to set up a portable shield generator as a bunker from behind to advance layer by layer.
From time to time, the wreckage of fighter jets falls in the sky, including Galactic Empire's TIE fighter, Kingdom of Dawn's Wraith fighter or Banshee Fighter.
Coupled with the countless lasers and missiles falling from the sky, the entire battlefield seemed to be raining scorching fire all the time!
According to the situation on the front line, all subsequent landing troops have been replaced by B-1 combat robots. The number of these combat robots was staggering, and the number on the front lines soon reached 500,000.
The investment of combat robots has turned the ground battlefield of Fondor Planet into a battle between machines, which is extremely cruel and fierce!
Fondor Planet New capital, Oridin City (Oridin City). This city replaced Fondor City as the capital of Fondor Planet a few years ago. It is also the city where Fondor Planet's various high-precision technologies are the most elite and most concentrated.
The defensive firepower of this city is so strong that it is difficult for even Kingdom of Dawn fleet to land here, so the landing point they chose is currently in the old capital Fondor City.
The plan of Sefrans-Tann is to use Fondor City as a springboard to attack Oridin City after occupying Fondor City.
Galactic Empire 20th Army Governor, Octavian-Grant are currently in the underground command center of Oridin City, controlling the entire battle remotely.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave this war front line, but that he can't leave.
Fondor Planet Once such an important planet falls, no matter what connections he has and what military exploits he has, he does not need to be alive.
Instead of doing this, it's better to sit on Fondor Planet and fight with Kingdom of Dawn.
"Darth-Vader!! Where is your fleet!! We are under attack! Now Separatists's robot army has landed!! Let your fleet come back immediately!!!" Octavian-Grant roared almost hysterically at the black mask on the screen.
"Fondor Planet's defense strength is enough to last for a long time. My fleet will always stay here before I destroy Yago-Dur." Das-Vader said coldly.
"You bastard! Bastard!! Don't you know the importance of Fondor Planet? Once the planet falls, I'm finished and so are you!!" Octavian-Grant yelled.
"Then, please work hard to defend, Your Majesty the Governor." Das-Vader said slowly.
"Tell me, how long will it take you to destroy the Yago-Dur planet?!" Octavian-Grant asked through gritted teeth.
"One month." Das-Vader dropped these cold words and cut off the communication directly.
