2431. Cut off an arm
Galactic Empire's Northern Territory war zone administrative core, Palin-Minor planet.
White light flashed, and a dilapidated fleet appeared in the space outside the planet. The appearance of this fleet was extremely miserable. The shields of almost every battleship were broken, the main armor belt was riddled with holes, and a large number of locations were on fire and smoking.
There is no doubt that this is the fleet led by Thrawn returning victoriously.
This fleet initially had a size of more than 800 capital ships, but Admiral Gillard-Perine commanded the fleet to launch a battle against the Malarian Alliance, but was defeated by Mar-Tuk and suffered heavy losses. Later, when Mar-Tuk attacked Bilbrin Planet, under the command of Lieutenant General Ozir, he forced a counterattack and suffered another defeat.
By then, there wasn't much left of the fleet. After receiving some reinforcements, the number of capital ships barely reached 300, and many battleships were more or less injured.
Thrawn led such a fleet to defeat the menacing Commerce Guild Fleet of Admiral Mar-Touk!
Later, he received some supplements, keeping the number of his capital ships at around 300. But you must know that this is the third battle in a row that this fleet has fought.
Then, Sefrans-Tann, who has been famous for a long time and is known as the strongest general in the galaxy, attacks again with Archangel Titan warship, known as the strongest battleship in the galaxy. If Light Cruiser is included, the military strength of Sefrans-Tann is equivalent to twice that of Thrawn!
Moreover, the quality of the battleships on both sides is also different. Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser needs Imperial-class Star Destroyer to fight against it. Other battlecruisers including Behemoth-class, Doomsday Battlefield class, and Dunov Class have stronger overall combat capabilities than Victory II-class Star Destroyer. The most important thing is that these battleships all have complementary advantages and each has its own characteristics.
However, with such a dilapidated fleet, after receiving reinforcements from Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, whose combat effectiveness was obviously inferior to Emissary, Thrawn actually ended up in a tie with Sefrans-Tann, with both sides suffering similar losses!
To put it bluntly, Kingdom of Dawn lost 870,000 people, while Galactic Empire lost more than 1.2 million people. The difference in death toll of more than 400,000 was purely due to the fact that Kingdom of Dawn's warship carried fewer crew members!
Even at the end of the battle, Thrawn still led the remnant army to cut off the rear, and had been covering Dunn-Governor Vesex's heart and soul--after Lila Super Star Destroyer retreated, they returned to the planet Palin-Minor.
Standing next to Thrawn, Adjutant Rael Benting could not hide the excitement in his eyes. He said loudly, "General! We won! We really won!! Even Separatist Titan warship stopped in front of us!!"
The other officers around him all cheered.
Indeed, it is not easy! It's not easy! Especially the officers and soldiers standing on the flagship now, most of them have participated in the Northern Territory series of battles. No one knows better than them how powerful the Kingdom of Dawn warship is, how excellent the Commander is, and how weird the technology is.
But, they won, really won! Even the so-called invincible Titan warship was beaten to the point of catching fire and had to return to Hong Kong for overhaul.
Such a fleet, such naval officers, and such Commander, don't they deserve a warm welcome? Doesn't it deserve flowers and applause?
However, Admiral Thrawn, who created this miracle, just stood there quietly, motionless, with no expression on his face.
"General?" Rael Benting asked tentatively. After he saw Thrawn's expression, he suddenly understood something, and his face suddenly turned pale, "No... it can't be right?"
"Yes, Colonel Reyer. Yes." Thrawn shook his head.
Thrawn's fleet indeed received the warmest welcome. After his fleet left hyperspace, he saw that the cutting-edge fleet headed by Lila Super Star Destroyer, plus Dunn-Vesex, were already waiting here.
Lila is in the middle, with other battleships on both sides.
Although the appearance is also extremely miserable, and there are still many fire points on the ship that have not been extinguished, Lila still looks so majestic under the protection of the fleet of Dunn-Vesex with a neat military appearance.
There was complete silence in the communication. Although the formation was indeed grand, there were no flowers, no applause, and no cheers. There was only silence and the fleet opposite.
Thrawn sighed insignificantly.
At the same time, Chimaera's console suddenly sounded an extremely sharp alarm!
"General! We... we are locked by Fire Control Radar!!" The radar soldier screamed loudly, "The one that locked us... no, it is... is Lila Super Star Destroyer!!"
"General... they..." Rael Benting had a sad look in his eyes, and he already understood everything.
"Chimaera calls Lila, we are our own people! We are our own people!" The signal soldier began to call, but there was no reply.
Just now, he fought bloody battles with them, and even used his huge body and powerful shield to resist Archangel Titan warship's attacks many times. It can be said that without Lila Super Star Destroyer's fearless battle, they would not even be qualified to stand opposite Emissary!
However, now, Lila is pointing its guns at them, at the comrades who were fighting side by side a few hours ago...
There was no hesitation.
"No need to call. Lower the shield, shut down the engine, and shut down the weapon system." Thrawn said.
"General... we, did we win?" The radar soldier turned back and looked at Thrawn blankly.
"Who knows?" Thrawn said this lightly, then gave a military salute to the other officers and soldiers on the bridge, turned around and walked out.
He went straight to Hangar Platform, neatly arranged his white military uniform, and then stood there like a sculpture.
A moment later, a Lambda-class shuttlecraft flew in and stopped unceremoniously in front of Thrawn. The hatch opened, and dozens of Clone Trooper wearing white polymer alloy armor came down. These soldiers immediately raised their Blaster rifle and drove everyone else away. At the same time, several of the soldiers came to Thrawn.
A Imperial Navy officer wearing a gray uniform and a badge with the rank of colonel came over, looked at Thrawn and said coldly, "Chiss, Mis-Ro-Nurudo-Thrawn. You are suspected of dereliction of duty, disobedience of military orders, and wrong command. 17 charges including causing large-scale casualties. According to the orders of the Ninth Imperial Army Governor Dunn-Vesex, you are deprived of your Admiral of the Navy position and will be immediately sent to Northern Territory Military Court to accept Judgment."
