2777. Thrawn's counterattack
The flagships of Rohk System and Thrawn appeared in the starry sky in a white flash. Not far ahead was the spaceport set up by the Galactic Empire. There was also a small squadron stationed here to protect the forward base.
One transport ship after another is constantly busy, transporting a large amount of combat supplies, preparing to quickly replenish the main fleet after the completion of this battle.
High Inquisitor Antillis-Trimein let out a sigh of relief and said with some fear, "That existence... is too scary! We should report this to His Majesty the Emperor immediately! The Milky Way... such a mysterious and terrifying monster has appeared again!"
"I agree that we should report to His Majesty the Emperor, but before that, we should return to Metalon Planet immediately." Thrawn said in a deep voice.
Trimein was shocked, "What are you thinking? You actually want to go back to Metalon Planet? No! Don't you know the horror of that existence? I have no power to fight back in front of him! What you should do now is to take command through remote communication as soon as possible, let the remaining fleet of ours return here as much as possible, and then make plans!"
But Thrawn shook his head very firmly and said, "If this is the case, then we have really lost. Regardless of whether you go or not, I must leave now."
As he spoke, he walked toward the door with firm steps, "Change to a battleship and return to Metalon Planet immediately!"
"Yes!" His adjutant immediately made arrangements on the communicator while following Thrawn's footsteps.
These subordinates who have followed Thrawn for a long time always have a silent understanding with him. They will not question any decision of Thrawn, no matter how absurd the decision seems.
Whether it's brainwashing or charisma, these are Thrawn's methods and one of the reasons why he is invincible.
Antillis-Trimein stamped his feet hard and followed him even though he was cursing. He knew that now Thrawn had become His Majesty the Emperor's serious candidate to turn the tide, and he could never watch him die.
They quickly transferred to a Imperial-class Star Destroyer. The hyperspace engine of this Star Destroyer did not require a cooling cycle and could be started immediately.
The starry sky in the universe outside the window once again turned into countless light bands in hyperspace. At this time, Thrawn explained to the horrified Trimein: "It's not without reason for me to go. Because that mysterious and powerful existence also has limitations."
"What did you say?" Trimein was stunned, "If such a powerful being were to stand in front of me, I might not even be able to look directly at him. Where do you have the courage to talk about his limitations?"
Thrawn nodded, "First of all, he is not powerful enough to control all of us. Otherwise, what we are conducting now should be Coruscant's defense war, or the defense war of the entire civilization. Secondly, his control has a quantity limit and a distance limit. Taken together, there is a limit on the total amount of energy."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the console and continued, "And the battleships he controls are at key positions for my formation. Therefore, in the previous battles, his purpose was not to control our entire fleet, but to break through our defense line and control me directly. This further proves that he is not invincible, and he is also very afraid of our fleet."
"No matter what, this is still too risky!" Trimein was still shaking his head.
Even with the previous contact, he was already frightened and did not have any courage to face such a powerful being.
"This is not an adventure, but a logical inference based on the actual situation." Thrawn said calmly, "Of course, if the strong man's previous actions were just an illusion to confuse me, then this means that his power and wisdom have already exceeded the limits of my understanding."
He turned and stared at Trimein and said, "If that time really comes, I will face my failure calmly. However, please kill me when you confirm that I am under control. I believe that you should be able to sustain it for a longer time."
The calm eyes of Thrawn also infected Antillis-Trimein. Even Force sense could not feel the fear of Thrawn. Trimein was also impressed. He finally stopped objecting and sighed and said, "Then, I will accompany you to die on this journey."
The light band outside the porthole disappeared instantly, and the war-torn starry sky reappeared.
Thrawn started taking action without any pause. He connected to the command system, announced his return to the warships present, and confirmed the change of command flagship.
Antillis-Trimein was also checking the holographic combat star map. He suddenly exclaimed, "You are right, General Thrawn! Our fleet is still fighting!"
On the holographic combat star map, only Galactic Empire's fleet can be seen. Although the formation is in chaos, they have strong troops after all. As the core of the fleet, Imperial-class Star Destroyer has powerful Deflector Shield and thick armor. Even when command is lost, the Will still relies on survival the Will and strict training to maintain the final line of defense.
In contrast, the combined fleets of Olegar's Fist and Zaarin suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. Up to now, there are not many miscellaneous warships left. Although a total of more than ten Imperial-class Star Destroyers have been controlled and joined their ranks, this has not changed the balance of power between the two sides!
Because in Imperial fleet, in addition to Imperial-class Star Destroyer, there are also a large number of Light Cruiser and frigates! As long as these warships are commanded properly, they can still pose a fatal threat to Star Destroyer.
Thrawn's judgment is correct!
"That's right... that's right! This powerful existence is not omnipotent. His purpose is to break into the core of our formation directly. Only after controlling you can we turn defeat into victory!" Antillis-Trimein said loudly. At this moment, he looked at Thrawn with eyes filled with admiration.
A Imperial Inquisitor with a powerful Dark Side Force actually worships an ordinary person? If such a thing were said before, I'm afraid the people like Dark Followers would laugh out loud.
"Now, it's our turn to fight back!" Thrawn's eyes became sharp. He waved his hand suddenly, and the loud and magnetic voice spread throughout the entire fleet, "Every ship, follow my instructions and act! Don't be Strange Power by the enemy. is intimidated! We are Galactic Empire Navy, and what we are driving is the most powerful war weapon in the galaxy! Even gods will tremble under our technology and power! Now, attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!!"
"Attack!!!" Countless Imperial Navy soldiers suddenly shouted.
Everyone has realized the danger of the battlefield. Those warships joined the enemy's ranks without any warning. This scene made everyone extremely frightened.
When they found out that Thrawn had escaped, although many people yelled at Thrawn, he still fled the battle like those Imperial Navy officers. In the end, it was their ordinary soldiers who suffered. However, most of the soldiers also chose to understand at this time because they felt that Thrawn cared for and valued them on a daily basis.
After all, only if Thrawn is alive can he have a chance to continue fighting.
However, Thrawn actually came back! Not only did he come back, but he also brought a squadron of reinforcements! Although this support force was small in size, it offset the previous losses caused by the battleships controlled by the mysterious enemy.
Thrawn's departure and return, in the eyes of Imperial Navy soldiers, is the perseverance despite knowing the dangers, and the belief that even if the status is respected, they still share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers at the bottom and fight side by side!
Once many soldiers go to the battlefield, they are actually willing to risk their lives. They are not afraid of death. What they are afraid of is dying worthlessly, sacrificing their lives in vain for those aristocratic generals who are full of fat brains and have no meat on their bodies!
However, now Thrawn has told them with actions that this time, even if it means sacrifice, it is definitely worth it!
Galactic Empire Navy suddenly burst out with astonishing momentum, and their the Will became more determined. Their morale was extremely high, and it could even be said that their morale was violent!
Unprecedented cohesion broke out in the fleet, and what they didn't know was that because of this, Olegar's mental control had become invisible and much more difficult.
Under Thrawn's quick and effective adjustments, Imperial fleet quickly reorganized. Their previous formation was broken up, but Thrawn quickly ordered each warship to form a defensive formation on the spot, first to stabilize the position, and then to counterattack.
Not only that, Thrawn commanded hundreds of frigates to form a commando team and launched a desperate assault on Olegar's Fist's flagship - Deceiver-class destroyer! Under the siege of a large number of frigates, even the more than 2,200-meter-long Deceiver-class destroyer was gradually unable to withstand the heavy armor and fierce firepower.
Although it can be seen that the opponent Commander tried to organize another assault after noticing that Thrawn had left and returned, and also found the location of Thrawn's new flagship very accurately.
But Thrawn's actions were still completely seen through by Commander. This time, he didn't give the opponent any chance!
Less than an hour after Thrawn returned, although the two sides were still fighting fiercely, the situation of the battle was actually decided.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Just when Olegar's Fist's fleet was still resisting and the two sides had not yet decided the winner, a golden light suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The moment this golden light appeared, the sensor of the Thrawn flagship immediately started to alarm. This shows that this golden light contains extremely terrifying energy!
Next to Thrawn, poor High Inquisitor Trimein's face turned blue.
Because he saw that the golden light was actually a golden fighter jet, and another powerful force was inside the fighter jet!
"Here comes another..." Trimein said in a trembling voice.
"Is this a fighter jet?" Thrawn looked at the picture of the fighter jet in the sensor. He only saw that this fighter jet was entirely golden, with elegant forward-swept wings and a beautiful blue energy glow. It was hard to tell whether it was a translucent material or the result of itself being composed of light.
He thought for a while but didn't get an answer, "An unfamiliar model, no, I should say, an unfamiliar industrial style."
"It's the person sitting inside the fighter jet." Trimein finally regained his composure and explained, "The person inside, his Light Side Force is so powerful that it makes me feel sick."
"So, who is the enemy of the mysterious man who can control our warships?" Thrawn also saw at this time that the golden fighter jet launched an attack on Deceiver-class destroyer without hesitation.
"In my judgment, this person was obviously much weaker than the previous one. But he was also not a terrifying existence that I could match." Antillis-Trimein just felt like his world view was about to collapse...
What happened to this galaxy? Why did two such powerful yet extremely unfamiliar superpowers appear in just half a day?
Thrawn frowned and looked at the battle scenes sent back from the front. The golden fighter jet shuttled between the battleships with incredible maneuverability. As if it was in an uninhabited land, it also used the two beam weapons equipped in the front to fire accurately. Each shot hit Deceiver-class destroyer's weak node.
Although the effect seems insignificant, Deceiver-class destroyer is actually trying to avoid it! Obviously, the result of the attack is not as useless as it seems.
What surprised Thrawn even more was that the performance of this fighter jet was almost incredible!
First, this fighter jet can turn at sharp angles! Second, the unknown beam weapon it launches can turn and track within a certain range!
No matter what it is, it is a technology beyond common imagination! Even Thrawn has a ridiculous feeling.
Out of professional habit, he simply simulated the scenario in his mind of fighting this kind of fighter, and he immediately came to the conclusion that there was no need to fight. The technology of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
But now, at least this fighter jet is a friend rather than an enemy.
Thrawn immediately issued an order, "All troops attack! Concentrate attack on the enemy Deceiver-class destroyer!"
At this point in the situation, there is no doubt that the other party is about to escape. It would be best if the Deceiver-class destroyer could be severely damaged at this time.
Sure enough, the Deceiver-class destroyer turned on the hyperspace engine without hesitation, quickly jumped into hyperspace and escaped.
What surprised Thrawn was that even if the flagship escaped, the other warships in the combined fleet of Olegar's Fist and Zaarin did not show any confusion. They were still fighting bravely and organizing their retreat in an orderly manner.
Thrawn wanted to pursue Divine-class, but ultimately failed. Because even though it was a warship during the Clone Wars period, this flagship version of Deceiver-class destroyer still did not lag behind in terms of firepower and protection capabilities. On the one hand, it must have been modernized and upgraded, and on the other hand, it was also because this type of warship was only used as a flagship, and the construction process was naturally of the highest standards.
Imperial fleet under the command of Thrawn has just put things right. Although it has begun to take advantage, it is still too early to sink the Divine-class.
The golden fighter jet was obviously unwilling to give up. It was still firing wildly at the moment Deceiver-class destroyer jumped into hyperspace. It wasn't until the battleship completely disappeared that it circled there for several times and finally stopped. Then, the fighter jet turned and flew towards Thrawn's flagship.
A communication link came through, and a golden-armored warrior was projected on the screen in front of Thrawn. He was obviously not a human being, but his noble temperament and powerful power were still beyond words.
A powerful voice came, "En taro Adun! Brave general, I am Fenix. I am here to capture Olegar!"
