836. Violent reaction
The light blue proton clouds produced during the Proton Torpedo explosion are like flowers blooming in the dark universe, one by one, dozens of flowers, hundreds of flowers, one by one, thousands of them.
These beautiful flowers contain destructive power. After the proton cloud explodes, it collapses immediately, absorbing all surrounding matter and energy to a single point, and then suddenly explodes, the volume instantly expands a million times, releasing extremely terrifying energy.
The Z-95 Headhunter fighter jet has always been a favored model by Republic Judicial Fleet and Bounty Hunter due to its stable and reliable performance. This is a heavy-duty fighter aircraft with excellent bomb load, firepower, and maneuverability, so it remains popular in the market for a long time.
Only after the full-scale war broke out, this multi-functional fighter was replaced by the more targeted V-19 Torrent light fighter and ARC-170 heavy fighter. Because the Z-95 was not as good as the V-19 in aerial dogfights and not as good as the ARC-170 in terms of firepower, it began to withdraw from the war stage.
But it does not mean that the Z-95 has no threat to current warships and fighter planes!
But now, 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets rushed directly out of Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser's Hangar Platform, and instantly fired at least 3,000 Proton Torpedo at Republic fleet that was less than a thousand kilometers away!
Galactic Republic's warships opened fire, and the close-in defense system opened a barrage around the warships. Countless lasers intertwined into a web of death, intercepting and shooting down those Proton Torpedos one by one.
Proton Torpedo, which broke through the defense, exploded on Republic warship's shield. Light blue proton clouds flashed continuously, and the shield rippled like water waves.
But this was just the beginning. The 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets were not dead. The pilots of Fourth Civilization, who were already ready to go, immediately swooped towards Republic warship. They pressed the button firmly, and blaster laser cannons rained down on those behemoths.
The fighter group of Galactic Republic was heading to attack Separatist fleet. When they saw their warship being attacked, they responded immediately and turned around to provide emergency support.
But the 300 Wraith fighters that took off from Grey Horse-class escort carrier had already arrived. They turned on the stealth system, and a flash of lightning flashed across, and the fighter jets disappeared without a trace. Then, in the empty void, hundreds of Gemini missile suddenly appeared, shooting directly at the Galactic Republic fighter jet.
At the same time as the fierce air battle broke out, Sefrans-Tann gave an order, and all Fourth Civilization warships turned again and fired fiercely at Republic warship!
And their target is very clear, all firepower is aimed at Hunter Class Battlecruiser in the Galactic Republic formation.
As long as these Hunter Class can be killed, the Galactic Republic fighter group will become rootless and can be manipulated at will.
The Plague Titan warship where Sefrans-Tann was also began to turn, using the Turbolaser cannon on the side of the battleship to fire continuously. Titan warship is Titan warship after all. Even if it is hit hard now, its combat effectiveness is far stronger than other warships.
Plague no longer has a shield, but it is still indestructible with its thick armor.
In fact, strictly speaking, even with these 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets, Fourth Civilization's fleet is still only in balance with Republic fleet, but the current formations of both sides are extremely detrimental to Republic fleet.
Each of Galactic Republic's warships is being besieged by hundreds of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets. The close defense system is focused on one thing and not the other. Their fighter jets are also intercepted by Wraith fighter, so they can only fight and retreat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fourth Civilization's battleship poured its maximum firepower on Republic warship's head without any scruples.
While the two sides faced each other and started fighting in the direction of Blade Fleet, the news of the reappearance of the lost fleet also caused a sensation among the top brass of Galactic Republic, Confederacy of Independent Systems and Fourth Civilization.
The news was classified as top secret, and reactions began immediately.
After receiving the notification from Sefrans-Tann, Tang Xiao immediately mobilized the fleet to Cerean system. Now Fourth Civilization's mobile fleet was stretched thin, but he made a prompt decision and immediately sent General Trench who was at Christophsis to Dawn Star Planet, and led Fleet C who was guarding Dawn Star Planet to set off.
General Trench brought 10 Kohl-class Battlecruiser, 5 Martha-class heavy missile cruiser and 5 Sova-class Carrier. At the same time, he also asked Gran of Kinyen to send Marines and set off on three Luukri-Hok-class battleship.
Dawn Star Planet and Trade Federation are different from the core corporate giants of Confederacy of Independent Systems. They do not just collect money from their subordinate planets. Tang Xiao will give these planets the opportunity to directly participate in the war to reduce their war taxes.
For this, Xu Draon Planet is a dream come true.
Compared with corporate giants like Newt Gunlay who just want a country with supreme privileges so that they can make more money, Tang Xiao has much greater ambitions. What he wants is to build a diversified and powerful the Empire, and making money is just a side event.
After receiving the call from Fourth Civilization, Gran immediately organized an army of 300,000 people without saying a word, and set off in three Luukri-Hok-class battleship ships to gather at Cerea.
Count Dooku was the one who took the initiative to tell him, Tang Xiao, and just informed him. After all, if such a big thing was concealed and not reported, Count Dooku might even think that Dawn Star Planet was trying to do something stupid.
Regarding the news of Blade Fleet, Count Dooku is just a surprise. After all, 200 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is not enough to have a decisive impact on the battle situation and will not make him greedy. As long as it can make Galactic Republic bleed more, he will be very happy.
So under the instruction of Count Dooku, General Grievous once again reorganized the fleet, assembled on the planet Antar (Antar), and made a gesture of preparing to break into Galactic Republic Mid Rim's interest, attracting Galactic Republic's defense fleet.
Galactic Republic is also dispatching troops. In view of Blade Fleet's position, the important task of recapturing this fleet is placed in the hands of the Governor of the 20th Republic Army Octavian.
Octavian was very decisive in his actions. He immediately organized the fleet to go south, and despite the Givin's strong opposition, he violently destroyed Interdictor set up by the Givin, and attacked Halm system via their home planet Yago-Dur.
The Givin was very angry about this, angrily accused Octavian of ignoring their neutrality declaration, and made a big noise on Galactic Senate, demanding that the Governor Octavian be summoned to return to Coruscant to accept Judgment.
But their noise did not last long, because when the fleet of Octavian passed by the Yago-Dur planet, an inadvertent scan found a very strong reaction behind the shadow of the satellite of the Yago-Dur system!
This reaction shows that the Givin is manufacturing warships on a large scale in the Yago-Dur system!!
