2683. Result of collapse

In just ten minutes, the situation of the battle was reversed!

Rear Admiral Dolla was feeling cold, looking at the holographic projection battlefield... Originally he was confident that victory was just around the corner, but in just ten minutes, all his illusions were shattered!

He originally lured out Generous-class frigate from Guardian Fleet, and then took off a large number of fighter jets to attack. At the same time, he also foresaw the opponent's ambush at Planet Three, and used air mines to trap the opponent's high-speed cruiser formation.

If the war situation continues to develop like this, then Guardian Fleet and Generous-class frigate will soon be severely damaged by the fighter formation due to their weak defense and control capabilities, and the opponent's high-speed cruiser formation will also be quickly wiped out by their own main fleet.

Then it's time to reap victory!

However, a mysterious fleet suddenly broke into the battlefield. The arrival of this fleet was not discovered by the border hyperspace outpost! Not only the hyperspace outpost, but even the peripheral reconnaissance outposts deployed by himself showed no response. In the end, only the final stage of hyperspace fluctuations were detected, and at this time, he only had ten minutes left...

Even at this time, Rear Admiral Dolla still believed that after all, this mysterious fleet was not large in scale, and he could take advantage of its military strength to eat up the opponent.

But after he actually started fighting, he realized that he was so wrong!

The speed and maneuverability of this mysterious fleet are unimaginable, and they can fly with the size of Light Cruiser out of the maneuverability of a fighter jet!

Moreover, Rear Admiral Dolla also found that the Sublight speed of these warships was also astonishingly fast. The distance of tens of thousands of kilometers after leaving the hyperspace channel was almost fleeting for them. These warships immediately rushed into the formation of their own fleet, and the two sides fell into a melee.

However, even if this is the case, Rear Admiral Dolla still thinks that he has a chance. In any case, the strength advantage is still on our side. At best, we can retreat temporarily to regroup before fighting a decisive battle.

However, the next two things happened that made him completely lose his sense of proportion.

First, the fighter formation that went to attack Generous-class frigate suddenly abandoned their target without warning and flew in another direction. Even though some Generous-class frigate had been severely damaged, their fighter formation did not pursue it, but left there.

Rear Admiral Dolla immediately sent out a communication, strictly ordering the fighter formation to complete the mission immediately and eliminate all Generous-class frigate.

However, the fighter formation sent back a communication claiming that they were attacking Generous-class frigate and had sunk two of them.

????

However, before Rear Admiral Dolla had time to verify the battlefield situation, something happened that almost immediately destroyed all his resistance the Will!

A fleet emerged from nowhere and suddenly appeared on the battlefield! And this fleet has 40 Victory II-class Star Destroyer! This fleet is currently near Druckenwell planet. Judging from the way they move, it is obvious that they are with the defending fleet.

40 Victory II-class Star Destroyer!

Such a force can completely crush Rear Admiral Dolla's fleet head-on!

Because compared to the Hunter Class Battlecruiser, which was designed before the Clone Wars broke out, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer, which was designed only in the later stages of the war, absorbed a lot of actual combat experience in the war, so many designs are very simple and efficient, reducing many taken-for-granted ideas when designing the Hunter Class.

So although Victory II-class Star Destroyer is only 900 meters long, it is a full circle smaller than Hunter Class. But if the two sides fight, then Victory II-class Star Destroyer will undoubtedly win.

Rear Admiral Dolla Although there are many small and medium-sized battleships here, he only has 15 battleships Hunter Class. Facing 40 Victory II-classs, he had no resistance in terms of quantity or quality!

He almost collapsed and roared loudly, "Where did this fleet come from? Why do Silas-Tagge have such a fleet?? Are Imperial Intelligence Bureau eating shit? Why does Tagge Company have a capital ship of this size but no one knows about it!! These bastards!! They have long been able to annihilate us all, but are they playing games with us?!"

He really couldn't figure out how this fleet appeared.

These are 40 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, not 40 fighter jets! No matter where such troops are hidden on the planet, it is impossible to hide them from the scanning devices on their side.

But this fleet appeared out of thin air, and the piercing siren on the bridge said everything.

Fear finally destroyed all Rear Admiral Dolla's sanity, and he shouted almost madly, "Retreat! Retreat! The whole army retreats! Don't worry about those Star Destroyer, retreat for me!!"

Faced with such a situation, victory is already impossible. The only thing he can count on is to escape as many battleships as he can. I am almost retired and there is no need to go through this muddy water again.

Obviously, other warships in the fleet have also noticed these 40 Victory II-class. The captains of these warships have the same idea as Rear Admiral Dolla. They are all defense fleets in the border star area anyway, and the warships they command are outdated and obsolete. Their only hope is to eat and wait to die.

In such a place, advanced equipment cannot wait for them, excellent soldiers cannot wait for them, sufficient funds cannot wait for them, and opportunities for promotion cannot wait for them. Then, naturally, they will not fight to the end with the enemy.

Anyway, such a border area might be occupied by Kingdom of Dawn at some point. By then, the loyalties will all be different, so why fight?

Not to mention the warships Orman-Tagge. They are all employees of the company. The purpose of maintaining this fleet is to escort or fight against pirates. To put it bluntly, how much salary do you Tagge Company give us? Let's go fight Victory II-class?

So Rear Admiral Dolla's hysterical retreat order immediately turned into a rout! Countless warships scattered like birds and beasts, and they fled in all directions. They just wanted to get away from the battlefield as soon as possible, start the hyperspace engine and leave here.

However, the 40 Victory II-class Star Destroyer did not seem to have the intention to pursue. This fleet only docked near Druckenwell planet and only fired occasionally. It seemed more of a warning.

But now Imperial fleet no longer cares about so much, and they don't know how to distinguish the abnormal actions of this fleet. Now they just want to run!

run?

Even this will become a luxury!

I only saw the mysterious high-speed fleet that appeared later biting Imperial fleet like a mad dog. They opened fire wildly and chased after him. Then it was discovered that when some warships were about to activate their hyperspace jump engines to escape, they actually launched strange pulse force fields!

This position exploded instantly, and then formed a spherical force field in the universe, which looked like a bubble. As for the the Empire battleship that flew into this 'bubble', its hyperspace engine suddenly stalled without warning!

Just when the Commander of these battleships were roaring crazily and demanding to fix the problem as soon as possible and start the hyperspace jump, the brutal attack had already arrived!

The more than 200 frigates attached to 10 transport ships were extremely ferocious, and now they became the protagonists of the battlefield!

These frigates have X-shaped wings and look like fighter jets, but their overall length reaches 87 meters! This is the class of frigate! And although it has an X-shaped wing, this frigate is completely different from the elegant T-65-X-wing fighter in both shape and combat style.

To describe this kind of frigate in one word, it would be a bunch of mad dogs!

That's right, Claw-class frigate - Mаtar high-speed frigate in "EVE" technology.

"Wow, quack, quack! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them! Quack, quack!" There was only one person driving the frigate in the cab. This was clearly Gnoll. He was yelling wildly, laughing and screaming, and even opened the public channel to spread his harsh noise to every corner of the battlefield.

Imperial fleet Those communication soldiers who couldn't bear the disturbance could only choose to turn off the sound.

However, although these Gnoll are extremely crazy, their driving skills are very superb. They drove the 87-meter-long high-speed frigate like a fighter jet, turning and accelerating crazily in the air and making various dangerous maneuvers.

The Gnoll pilot has excellent space perception and quick reaction capabilities. He only saw this pilot trying to accelerate the battleship, and even almost collided with other spacecraft several times, but he didn't care at all.

His bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on a DP-20 gunboat in front of him. Although the gunboat was fleeing like crazy, it was covered by a jump disruption force field generator, and the hyperspace engine temporarily failed!

At this moment, Claw-class frigate driven by Gnoll has locked the target! Gnoll pressed the button fiercely, and the three groups of projectile turrets equipped on Claw-class frigate fired countless cluster pulse bombs. The DP-20 gunboat's Deflector Shield flashed and was directly destroyed.

Immediately after Gnoll changed the ammunition type, in just 10 seconds, the fully automated system completed the ammunition replacement. Press the button, and countless hard molybdenum bullets poured out!

Without any suspense, the outer armor of the DP-20 gunboat was directly torn apart by countless hard molybdenum bullets! Moreover, Claw-class frigate used its mobility advantage to bite the opponent's Engine Department points at all times. This burst of crazy strafing directly destroyed the opponent's engine!

The 120-meter-long DP-20 gunboat looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of Claw-class frigate, and was quickly and completely sunk!

But the Gnoll pilot did not stop. He laughed wildly and jumped towards the next target.

Galactic Empire's fleet had quickly collapsed under the crazy bite of Claw-class frigate driven by Gnoll, and was completely unable to fight back.

And this fleet is Calamity Legion - a group of desperadoes supported by Kingdom of Dawn. It is also the most notorious and cruel pirate group among Hutt Space in the past ten years.

The target targeted by the Calamity Legion, even leaving the whole body behind is a luxury!

The reason why Calamity Legion has such a bad reputation is that, in addition to those crazy and bloodthirsty members, their equipment is "EVE" technology, Mаtar Republic's battleship.

Tang Xiao handed over the technology of Mаtar Republic to the Goresla Family of Hutt, and sent a team of consultants to assist them in completing the research. After basically establishing the corresponding production line, Goresla Family sold some Mаtar battleships to the Calamity Legion.

However, the battleships provided by the Goresla Family to the Calamity Legion are basically frigates and Light Cruiser, which will not give them truly powerful battleships. For example, it is impossible to provide them with battleships such as Storm-class and Typhoon class. Moreover, Hutt is responsible for the maintenance and logistics of the battleship. For example, consumables such as the jump disruption generator, Calamity Legion can only be obtained through Hutt..

This is equivalent to a chain on the Calamity Legion.

But even so, Mаtar Republic's battleship, known for its high speed, strong firepower, and weak defense, is just right for the group of desperadoes like Calamity Legion.

The ones that attacked Rear Admiral Dolla this time were 10 Wanderer-class stealth transport. The other 200 Light Cruiser were mainly Scimitar-class and Hex-class. The one that was plugged into the Prowler class for long-distance maneuvers was Claw-class!

Even from a technical perspective, Calamity Legion's fleet is at least two eras ahead of Rear Admiral Dolla's Hunter Class Battlecruiser. Whether it's a jump disruption force field that blocks hyperspace jumps, or a hard molybdenum bullet that instantly shreds the armor of a battleship, these are advanced weapons that can be used on the main battlefield of the galaxy!

It can only be said that Rear Admiral Dolla, a veteran who has never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield in his life, has rich theoretical experience, but he has never seen such a scene.

The battleships of the Calamity Legion attacked crazily, and the battleships of the Galactic Empire were constantly being destroyed on the battlefield. Those bubble-like jump disruption force fields are also everywhere on the battlefield. The Galactic Empire battleship trapped by these force fields can only wait desperately for death.

Three hours later, the battlefield was basically quiet.

All the warships that could escape had escaped. Those that could not, either surrendered or were destroyed. The battlefield was littered with fragments of warships, as well as the corpses of countless Imperial Navy soldiers who had been blown out of the warships.

Rear Admiral Dolla was not able to escape after all. It was not that he suffered a targeted beheading attack, but that when he was escaping, the Hunter Class Battlecruiser he was in was targeted by more than 20 Claw-class frigates because the target was too big.

More than 20 "bubbles" covered Rear Admiral Dolla's flagship, and then there was a crazy bombing. He wanted to surrender, but the surrender notice sent out was covered up by the crazy roar of Gnoll on the public communication channel, and eventually his flagship was blown into countless pieces.

In this battle, Orman-Tagge was defeated miserably! He lost half of Tagge Company's warships, and also caused heavy losses to Chaykin sector who supported his combat operations. Rear Admiral Dolla, who participated in the war in his own name, also died in the battle.

When the news reached him, Orman-Tagge was furious, and he roared angrily, "Silas! You destroyed my fleet! How dare you do this!! No! I want to use a prototype ship! I want to tell you what is a technical advantage!!! Just wait!!"
