2593. The dust has settled and the undercurrent is surging (Part 1)

When the Eye of Palpatine opened Hangar Platform and Wuyang Wuyang's spaceship and those backward spaceships from an unknown era flew out, Kingdom of Dawn fleet almost all officers and soldiers at all levels were stunned for a moment.

What are the things flying out!

There are all kinds of spaceships, including cargo ships, battleships, and even mining ships and coal dredgers. They have no maneuverability at all and are just barges used to tow interstellar facilities.

In addition, there are all kinds of fighter jets, transport aircraft, firefighting aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, cranes, pile drivers, excavators, and all kinds of messy things.

There are tens of thousands of these planes and spaceships!

At this time, the Eye of Palpatine was like a garbage dump, throwing out all kinds of garbage. Then as soon as these spacecraft left Hangar Platform, they shot at Kingdom of Dawn's battleship as if they were crazy. Almost everything that can be used for shooting is used, including laser guns, electromagnetic guns, and even propellant-propelled gunpowder weapons!

The funniest thing is that some spaceships are actually shooting with Mass Driver! And this thing, to put it nicely, is called Mass Driver, to put it bluntly, it is used to throw garbage... If you look closely, those spaceships are either cleaning spacecrafts or garbage transport ships. They are specially equipped with a device to eject garbage from low-Earth orbit into the garbage dump.

For a time, the appearance of these spaceships made the entire battlefield extremely chaotic and even a little funny.

Can you imagine a group of garbage transport ships chasing a Divinity-class battleship? Those garbage ships sprayed all kinds of garbage at Divinity-class battleship while chasing them, spraying the outer armor of the battleship colorfully, with everything sticky on it. We even saw many highly decomposed rodent carcasses on the armor!

Divinity-class battleship fled in panic. The operators cursed and swore that they would capture a few prisoners and come over to help them clean up the battleship. You must know that during normal maintenance, they are the ones cleaning the battleships themselves!

Divinity-class battleship is a very typical core battleship for fleet warfare, so Point Defense System is almost not installed. On the one hand, as an armor-resistant ship without a shield, this can ensure the integrity of the armor. On the other hand, because of its high rate of fire, the Flagship-class laser array can also assume the function of point defense in many cases.

However, under the current circumstances, it was obviously not worth wasting Flagship-class laser array's shots on these garbage ships. Therefore, facing the crazy attack of the garbage ships, Divinity-class battleship could only run away desperately, and angrily asked the fighter formation for help.

The pilot of Wraith fighter suppressed a smile and looked at the frustrated battleship operators who usually brag and show off every day. He skillfully targeted the messy garbage ships and then used Gemini missile to name them one by one.

Soon, Swarm II Drones also joined the battle here. The efficiency of these drones in destroying those messy spaceships was terrifying. Most of the spacecraft was destroyed in less than 20 minutes, leaving debris and wreckage everywhere.

The king of Targonians - Klaw the Eternal was also on the bridge of Vice Admiral Lin Nanyi as a guest at this time. There was nothing to keep secret about this battle, so he was allowed to watch the battle.

He had seen this large-scale fleet battle before. To Targonians, it was as if he was watching a science fiction blockbuster. It was lively and lively, but it was difficult to feel the terrifying technical content contained in this battle.

And now, when those miscellaneous spaceships were released, he found that at least a quarter of them were spaceships that he had collected from Targon Planet!

Because after the Eye of Palpatine arrived at Targon Planet, Coaxium was exhausted, so it has been squatting there and controlling many spacecrafts.

Seeing those familiar spaceships entering the battle, Klaw the Eternal pointed at the screen and shouted, "Hey! This is the pride of our Targonians! Klaw's Sword-class battleship!"

Lin Nanyi glanced at the warships about 300 meters long and said nothing.

"Ah! And here! This is our Targonians's most powerful battleship, Klaw's Crown Super Dreadnought!!"

An extremely bloated 800-meter battleship, with the engine taking up half of its volume... Lin Nanyi rubbed his forehead.

"Oh! Look, look! Isn't this my high-speed assault fleet? Klaw's Fang! The equipment inside is all very powerful and very fast Thunderclap-class assault cruiser!"

These high-speed assault ships cannot even outrun Minotaur-class Heavy Cruiser, which is not known for its maneuverability...

After watching for a while, Klaw the Eternal's face became solemn. He came to Vice Admiral Lin Nanyi and said very seriously, "This respected general from Kingdom of Dawn, it is a pity... that A warship that looks like a meteorite has captured our main fleet Targon Planet through despicable means. General, you must be careful... this fleet may cause damage to you. But this cannot be blamed on me, I can only blame this meteorite for being too cunning."

Lin Nanyi sighed, but now there is no pressure on the combat command. Those Aiken II-class command cruiser are enough. He turned around and said, "The losses are so heavy, what are you Targon Planet planning to do next? Just join Kingdom of Dawn, and we will send professional companies and teams to help you rebuild and develop."

Klaw the Eternal said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, General. However, we Targonians insist on independence and the wise leadership of Klaw the Eternal. We have enough ability to protect our own planet. Therefore, joining Kingdom of Dawn is impossible."

Lin Nanyi nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome."

He waved his hand casually, and the adjutant standing next to him understood and immediately issued further combat instructions.

Countless Swarm II Droness immediately swarmed up, gathering from all directions, as if a dark cloud had gathered around those battleships! Immediately after hundreds of thousands of plasma lasers were fired wildly, those warships that Targon Planet was proud of were torn apart, decomposed, and exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye... and finally turned into countless fragments that could not be distinguished from the original appearance!

Klaw the Eternal looked at this tragic scene, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say for a moment. But it was obvious that his body was shaking slightly.

Those micro drones, which were only about three meters long, literally tore his proud battleship into pieces, which gave him an extremely powerful shock.

After a long time, he murmured, "General Pavilion... No, sir. If we join Kingdom of Dawn... you will compensate, right? Uh... I mean... a little compensation or something..."

Lin Nanyi glanced sideways at him and said lightly, "Welcome to Kingdom of Dawn, Mr. Governor."

"Governor..." Klaw the Eternal wanted to say something more, but then he lowered his head dejectedly.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was completely controlled by Kingdom of Dawn fleet. The Eye of Palpatine Throwing out the garbage was the last struggle it could think of. Apart from that, it had no room for struggle at all.

It was spinning around crazily, trying to attack the Kingdom of Dawn warship with its extremely powerful focused laser as much as possible, or else it would use the Group Four Turbolaser cannon array on its flanks to fight back. But with little success.

After hundreds of rescue ships attached themselves to its hull, they began to destroy the armor and began to hack into data lines from external turrets, equipment, etc., which dispersed a considerable part of the computing power of "The Will". What the rescue boat uploaded was the latest computer virus developed by Super Lotus and Kingdom of Dawn's hacker team. The damage to electronic systems is completely fatal!

Therefore, now Twin Blade-class Electronic Warfare Cruiser and Sentry-class Electronic Warfare Frigate, with the assistance of Durov-class Battlecruiser, can suppress the Eye of Palpatine in an electronic countermeasures environment.

With the foundation of electronic interference advantages, missiles and fighter jets finally began to play their full role, and the Eye of Palpatine can no longer affect the actions of missiles and fighter jets.

Phase missile was launched as if it was free, passing through the Eye of Palpatine's Deflector Shield through an instantaneous phase jump, and landed directly on its armor. This direct attack on the armor began to eliminate the Eye of Palpatine's external facilities in a targeted manner.

Including radar antennas, including communication arrays, including Turbolaser Turret, including sensors... all exposed facilities that were not protected by armor were concentrated bombing by Phase missile, causing heavy losses. Under such continuous bombing, the Eye of Palpatine has almost become blind.

Even more deadly is Disintegration Beam!

Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser equipped with Disintegration Beam is still suffering losses because the Eye of Palpatine regards them as the biggest threat and concentrates firepower on them. There are now 7 battleships left, but they are also using Disintegration Beam to attack, and they are even trying to destroy the Eye of Palpatine's Super-Focused Laser!

In addition to these direct internal attacks, the Eye of Palpatine and Deflector Shield are also subject to continuous attacks.

Particle Beam Lance, Turbolaser cannon, Hypermatter Railgun, Proton Torpedo, ion cannon, Yamato Cannon, Concussion Missile... Countless firepower attacks madly. Even though Kingdom of Dawn's battleship mainly acted to avoid being hit by the Eye of Palpatine's Super-Focused Laser before launching an attack, such continuous attacks also made the Eye of Palpatine's Deflector Shield crumbling.

Finally, as a burst of flames erupted from several places inside the Eye of Palpatine, its shield capacitor completely melted down, a fire broke out, and Deflector Shield also completely disappeared!

The moment the shield disappeared, countless artillery fire suddenly fell on the outer armor, setting off waves of horrific explosions.

The Eye of Palpatine Inside Core Worlds, the huge mechanical eyeball rotated and trembled crazily, emitting countless ultra-high frequency languages so fast that ordinary people could not even hear it, and then began to continuously send distress signals toward wide-area communications.

But it's useless. Kubindi planet is very remote compared to the control area of the Galactic Empire, and reinforcements will never come here.

[I am...Galactic Empire!]

[I am...Galactic Empire!]

[I am...Galactic Empire!]

Among the countless high-frequency words, the Eye of Palpatine is still repeating this sentence. Its main armor belt has begun to break and peel off, and will soon be penetrated. Disintegration Beam has even begun to destroy its internal facilities!

Destruction is just around the corner!

At this time, on the dish-shaped device in front of the Eye of Palpatine, the eight groups of super lasers once again completed charging and began to focus and prepare to launch.

However, at this moment, a Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser bravely rushed over and risked being hit by the focused laser, firing Disintegration Beam directly towards the center of the dish-shaped device!!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky!

The focused laser that was being charged was suddenly destroyed. The huge energy in the charged state had nowhere to vent, and a violent explosion occurred inside the Eye of Palpatine in an instant!

The power of this explosion was extremely terrifying, and even the Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser was severely damaged in the explosion! And this explosion even directly blew the Eye of Palpatine's extremely huge body to its side!

Immediately afterwards, a tongue of fire that was hundreds of kilometers long spewed out from the middle of the damaged dish-shaped device! The internal explosion continues to spread, it is completely out of control, and it cannot be stopped!

At this moment, T-series tactical robot, who was standing next to Lin Nanyi, suddenly said, "It has been detected that the hyperspace engine is starting."

"What? Start the hyperspace engine now? Is it crazy?" Lin Nanyi had just finished speaking, and then realized that he was commenting on an AI. He quickly said, "Call all ships to retreat immediately! Keep a safe distance!"

In this case, if you force a hyperspace jump, failure is almost 100%! Taking into account the huge size of the Eye of Palpatine, and in order to prevent our own warships from being affected by the physical phenomena caused by the failure of the hyperspace jump, Lin Nanyi issued this order for the sake of safety.

As Kingdom of Dawn's warships retreated one after another, the huge mechanical eyeball at the core of the Eye of Palpatine trembled faster and faster. Finally, it forcibly deleted the safety clause and then forcibly started the hyperspace engine!

Almost at this moment, the Eye of Palpatine's extremely huge body turned into a debris belt with a diameter of only one or two hundred meters at most, but the length continued until it was invisible in the blink of an eye!

In this fragment belt, there are all small fragments no larger than the size of a palm! Less than 0.001 seconds ago, these fragments were still a complete super battleship. However, at the moment when the hyperspace jump failed, it was torn apart by hyperspace into a debris belt that could only be detected by such a powerful instrument, with a diameter of one to two hundred meters and a length of more than 100 million kilometers!

The Eye of Palpatine, there are no bones left, even if you try hard, you can't put it together.

Looking at the countless fragments, Lin Nanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
