2693. "Turtle Bomb"
In order to organize defense on the spot, after Galactic Empire fleet experienced the initial chaos, they began to enter planet-synchronous orbit under the order of Lieutenant General Dharmara Holken, and assembled into seven nearby defense formations to minimize losses.
And because Imperial fleet was completely dispersed before, the seven defensive formations gathered were completely different in number and location. Among them, the formation with the largest number of battleships has about 200 capital ships and more than 700 small and medium-sized battleships.
This group of battleships gathered mainly because there happened to be more than 100 armed asteroids in front of this direction, which blocked them a lot of firepower and gave them the opportunity to readjust their formation.
However, now, to everyone's surprise, Archangel Titan warship has been unfolding Hyperspace Beacon since entering the battlefield, and the Empire Fleet Commander Dalmara-Horken has no idea what they plan to do.
However, when Taowu's huge body suddenly appeared in the middle of the largest defensive formation, Dalmara Holken felt that something was wrong!
Although he still didn't know why Taowu Titan warship did this, his intuition told him that Commander of Kingdom of Dawn must have an agenda.
"Are they looking for death?" Lieutenant General Dalmara Holken frowned, looking at the position of the defensive formation on the holographic combat star map.
In the display of the combat star chart, there are densely packed blue cursors, representing one's own warships. Among such a large group of blue cursors, there is only one lonely red cursor - Taowu.
"Concentrate your firepower immediately and kill this Titan warship!!" Lieutenant General Dalmala Holken shouted decisively and issued a combat order.
However, he immediately felt that something was wrong... to be precise, the position was wrong.
That's right! Location!
As we all know, Imperial Navy's main battleship, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, is shaped like a triangular pyramid. This shape is actually smaller at the front and larger at the back, mainly to install the huge L-A2B solar furnace. Therefore, the Star Destroyer with this shape can exert full firepower when facing the enemy head-on. However, when facing the enemy with the thick rear end, the fire range of the three groups of 20 heavy-duty Turbolaser Turrets on the Star Destroyer will be greatly restricted.
Now facing a sudden attack by Kingdom of Dawn, Dharmala-Horken requested that its warships enter planet-synchronous orbit and gather as close as possible into a group in order to use a dense defensive formation to strengthen frontal firepower and cover each other's flanks.
However, Taowu's current location!
Right in the center of this defensive formation!
In other words, if Imperial-class Star Destroyer in this group's defense formation wants to concentrate their firepower to destroy Taowu Titan warship, they must all turn sharply!
And at the moment when Kingdom of Dawn fleet is launching an extremely resolute offensive, taking a drastic turn would be tantamount to suicide!
However, here's the problem. If the more than 200 Imperial-class Star Destroyers in this group's defense formation desperately turn around, under the full bombardment from such a close distance, Taowu Titan warships, even though they are famous for their defensive capabilities, will be absolutely unstoppable!
Is it worth it to destroy these 200 Star Destroyers at the expense of one Titan warship?
Based on the current naval establishment of Kingdom of Dawn, the strategic significance of Titan warship is far greater than that of 200 Star Destroyer.
So, should we immediately turn around and resolutely destroy Taowu Titan warship? Or should we let the warships in the defense array spread out in all directions to form four smaller formations, and slowly eliminate Taowu without affecting the frontal firepower to the greatest extent?
Lieutenant General Dharmara Holken made a prompt decision. He repeated the order just now, "Notify all ships to turn immediately! Destroy Separatists Ankollon-class Titan warship first!"
But Taowu moves much faster than Lieutenant General Dalmara Holken!
I only saw a large number of cylindrical battleships flying out from the gaps in the Taowu Titan warship Nakawa-shaped ship! There are hundreds of ships!
As soon as he saw the appearance of these warships, Lieutenant General Dalmara-Horken felt like his brain exploded with a buzz! Previously in Planet Kira Campaign, the battle case data of Lusankya Executor-class Super Star Destroyer being destroyed instantly appeared in his mind.
These cylindrical battleships are Ogre-class Siege Cruiser! A slow-speed Proton Torpedo equipped with a super-yield warhead, specially used to attack fixed targets such as armed space stations!
The situation has become obvious! Kingdom of Dawn fleet intends to replicate this tactic of using the huge hull space of Ankollon-class Titan warship to carry a large number of Ogre-class Siege Cruiser to attack targets at close range!
Although those Super Proton Torpedo are very slow, they are almost impossible to intercept when they are so close! Because this Super Proton Torpedo is equipped with Deflector Shield!
Those Ogre-class Siege Cruisers that flew out from the middle of Taowu Titan warship fired thousands of Super Proton Torpedos at the surrounding Imperial-class Star Destroyers as soon as they appeared! At this time, those Imperial-class Star Destroyer were just beginning to prepare to turn!
"No! Hurry! Kill those cruisers! Intercept Proton Torpedo! Hurry! Hurry!!!" Dalmara Holken roared at the top of his lungs.
Being hit by these Super Proton Torpedo in such a state, you can only imagine what a tragic result it will be!
The current Taowu Titan warship is no longer a defense-focused warship. It is simply a super bomb!!
In the defensive formation, those Light Cruiser and frigates quickly turned their guns and poured out intensive firepower on those Super Proton Torpedo. A large number of laser cannons, Turbolaser and concussion missiles were fired at these Super Proton Torpedo. Faced with these large and slow targets, anti-aircraft firepower can easily hit them.
However, at this moment, something even more desperate happened...
After releasing all Ogre-class Siege Cruiser and leaving no other obstacles in the structural gaps of the battleship, Taowu Titan warship can finally use his long-charged flagship tactical equipment——
Fleet Shield!!
In the frightened and desperate eyes of almost every Imperial Navy officer and soldier at the scene, those Super Proton Torpedos who had already installed Deflector Shield were instantly enveloped by a light green light curtain!
Fleet Shield was used on these Super Proton Torpedo!!
At this moment, the firepower launched by Imperial fleet's small and medium-sized warships has fallen densely on these Super Proton Torpedo, but...
Little success!
