2426. Request from Thrawn
The Empire Northern Fleet flagship, Chimaera Imperial-class Star Destroyer, bridge.
"General! Sefrans-Tann is here with her Titan warship!" Fleet Adjutant Rael Benting said to Admiral Thrawn who was concentrating on commanding the battle.
Thrawn's original serious expression now immediately became more solemn. He took out a very retro but gorgeous small mechanical clock from his pocket, looked at it, shook his head and said, "At least it's 20 minutes earlier than my worst judgment."
"The warships of Separatists are retreating towards Titan warship." Rael Benting pointed at the holographic combat star map and said, "The two Divinity-class battleships have been severely damaged. We let Lila fire two more salvos, which will definitely blow them to pieces."
However, Thrawn just shook his head and said, "No, we know what Titan warship can do, but we still don't know if it can do other things. Inform Lila to give up the salvo, immediately cycle Deflector Shield, and adjust all energy to the shield capacitor."
Rael Benting nodded and said, "Yes! Adjust all energy to the shield capacitor immediately!" He also understood Thrawn's intention of doing this.
Because Thrawn was really worried, Sefrans-Tann came up without hesitation and shot Doomsday Weapon, giving Executor-class Star Destroyer a hard shot.
Lila Super Star Destroyer has also been engaged in high-intensity combat for four hours, and was also shot by the high-energy laser array of five Divinity-class battleship for four hours. The condition of this Super Star Destroyer is also not very good. The current estimate of the power of Archangel Titan warship's Doomsday Weapon is still unclear. If Lila is directly destroyed with a direct shot, the battle situation here will completely collapse in an instant!
"The opponent's Titan warship has a one-hour cooling time after firing Doomsday Weapon. We must ensure that Lila survives the first shot!" Thrawn emphasized, "Order all warships to retreat in an orderly manner! Immediately recirculate the shields and cool down the main guns! Prepare for the next round of combat!"
Just when he was giving the order, on the holographic combat star map in front of him, a Imperial-class Star Destroyer was being torn into pieces by Archangel Titan warship!!
The main gun of Archangel-class Titan Warship is actually the same as Divinity-class battleship, which is a high-energy laser array. Divinity-class battleship Because the whole device is shaped like a pistol, high-energy laser arrays are installed on both sides, with three groups on each side.
However, due to the unique shape of Archangel-class Titan Warship, Titan warship only has two sets of high-energy laser arrays installed on the left and right sides of the rear hull. The other eight sets of high-energy laser arrays are installed on both sides of the large disc in front. This is a very clever shot, because the high-energy laser arrays on the disc share the energy transmission channel with the focusing device of Doomsday Weapon.
The eight high-energy laser arrays installed on the edge of the disc also have a very wide range of radiation, with almost no blind spots.
Now Archangel Titan warship has fired fiercely at the surrounding Galactic Empire battleships! A total of 12 sets of high-energy laser arrays fired continuously. The undetectable flash of light disappeared in a flash, but what followed was that the Imperial-class Star Destroyer in front instantly collapsed and burst into flames!!
The same weapon, fired from Archangel Titan warship and fired from Divinity-class battleship, have completely different power levels! The Imperial-class Star Destroyer in front of it initially tried to use all its firepower to give Emissary a blow, but in less than 5 minutes, the Star Destroyer had turned into a burning fireball!!
Archangel Titan warship was still moving forward. The huge hull collided with the wreckage of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which had completely caught fire and exploded. It immediately smashed the burning wreckage into countless burning fragments and flew in all directions.
At the same time, several towering buildings rose from the back end of Titan warship. These buildings formed a unique array, and an invisible energy began to condense at the top.
At this moment, an alarm sounded immediately on the bridge of Chimaera, and the soldier controlling the sensor quickly shouted, "General!! Large-scale hyperspace fluctuations have been detected!!"
"Are there any more fleets coming?" Thrawn frowned. If so, he was planning to run away.
"No... this fluctuation is not the fluctuation of hyperspace jump. It is... similar to the Hyperspace Stabilizer we used before." The soldier paused and said with certainty, "Yes, it is Hyperspace Stabilizer!! Separatist Titan warship is stabilizing hyperspace and opening the hyperspace channel!!"
Adjutant Rael Benting screamed, "During the raid on Modell Sector, Hyperspace Stabilizer was built by Kuat Drive Yards? That was a super giant space building with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers! They actually miniaturized this thing onto Titan warship!!"
Thrawn suddenly said categorically, "Call all ships to attack with all their strength! Notify Lila Super Star Destroyer to launch an assault! Don't give the opponent's warships a chance to open the passage!!"
"Attack? What if they bomb Lila with Doomsday Weapon?" Rael Benting asked.
"Before they open the channel and attract more warships, Doomsday Weapon will not launch!" Thrawn said directly. "There is no doubt that Sefrans-Tann is also worried that one launch will not destroy Lila! So she chose to seek stability!"
He stared hard at Archangel Titan warship on the holographic combat star map. The target was very complex.
Yes, he did have a perfect plan, but he couldn't figure out a function he didn't know about! There is no information that can tell him what functional modules Archangel Titan warship is equipped with! He can only judge based on the launch of Doomsday Weapon.
In this way, he missed at least 20 minutes, allowing First Fleet, who was on the verge of destruction, to retreat to Archangel Titan warship.
"Prepare the conference room and pick me up Dunn-Vesex!" Thrawn said as he walked towards the conference room.
"General! Dunn He..." Rael Benting hesitated to speak.
He understood that Thrawn was looking for Dunn-Vesex at this time, only to ask for reinforcements. But... with Dunn's character, Thrawn will definitely suffer crazy abuse, blows and even revenge!
But... if there are no reinforcements, they are likely to be defeated by the general army, all their previous efforts will be wasted, and they may even be destroyed!
Alas, the electronic door of the conference room closed silently, cutting off the figure of Thrawn and the predictable insults from Dunn-Vesex.
In the dark conference room, Thrawn sat alone at the conference table, with his hands crossed on his chin, watching the holographic projection screen that gradually became clearer.
[Ha ha ha ha! Isn't this our future Commander of the Navy, military hero, Lord Thrawn?]Dunn-Vesex The malicious voice came, [Looking for me, a poor little person, what do you want to do?]
The images of Dunn-Vesex did not appear in the holographic projection. What appeared on the screen was just a withered potted plant.
"I request you to send out the last defense fleet on the planet Palin-Minor. Now, Separatist Titan warship is isolated and surrounded by us. If reinforcements can arrive in time, this is our best and last chance to sink this Titan warship." Thrawn said in a deep voice.
