916. Western Reaches Campaign: A tragic failure
Malastare, outer space, airspace 40,000 kilometers above the ground.
10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser were entangled, and the deadly heavy Turbolaser guns kept firing.
At this distance, Malastare is very huge in the field of vision. The Turbolaser beams continuously launched by the fleets of both sides seem to be countless death fireworks lit up on the planet.
The battleships of Galactic Republic put on an aggressive attitude and rushed straight in the direction of Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet. However, their purpose was just to escape into the planet's atmosphere and escape the fate of destruction.
Both sides also took off the only remaining fighter jets. Republic fleet has about less than 100 V-19 Torrent light fighters here, while for Confederacy of Independent Systems, Sefrans-General Tann has retained 350 Tri-fighter for its own fleet.
There is a gap in both quantity and quality of fighters on both sides. Coupled with the comparison of warships and firepower on both sides, Republic fleet is at a comprehensive disadvantage!
Master Kai Pu Xie led a squadron to take off for combat. There was also a Jedi apprentice and a Jedi Knight in the formation, flying Delta-7 fighter jets. They became Republic fleet's only hope.
If their fighter formation cannot cause damage to Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet's flagship and cause chaos to the other party, then they may not even be able to return to the atmosphere with their lives.
Kep-Xie turned the fighter engine to maximum speed, and the acceleration instantly surged to a terrifying 2000G!
However, it is already very close to the planet. Under the influence of the planet's gravity, the fighter jet trembles and shakes violently every time it accelerates, as if it is about to fall apart.
But this speed was enough. She rushed into the Tri-fighter formation like Blitz. The AI of the robot fighter was simply unable to lock on to the target flying at such a fast speed and could only shoot randomly. Taking this opportunity, Kep-Xie kept firing, and she shot down 7 Tri-fighters in just ten seconds!
Suddenly, the Company One string of explosive energy beams was launched. Kep-Xie sensed the approaching crisis and began to turn left in advance to avoid it, but almost at the same time, another Company One string of explosive energy beams was fired directly to her left side!
This feeling!
"Dark Jedi Knight..." Kaip-Xie gritted his teeth.
However, when she looked at the radar, she was stunned!
Because she discovered that in front of the formation of 10 Tri-fighters that were approaching her rapidly, there was a Delta-7 fighter jet! And it's the blue and white paint of Confederacy of Independent Systems!!
"Traitor..." Cape Xie suddenly changed direction, bit the opponent's Delta-7 and then opened fire wildly.
The fighter jet also rolled flexibly and easily dodged all the shots. Immediately afterwards, the Tri-fighter formation led by the opponent also began to unfold, and under the command of this fighter jet, it rushed over from various angles.
The V-19 fighter jets flown by the clone pilots in the Cape-Xie formation were unable to compete with Tri-fighter, and several were shot down in just one encounter!
The fighter jet piloted by the opponent Dark Jedi Knight also took advantage of the opportunity to avoid Cape-Shee's shooting and suddenly turned. The wings kept shaking, and the blaster cannon fired a burst. Using the shooting angle caused by the shaking of the wings, a fire net was formed in front.
"No!!!" An exclamation came from the communicator, and then I saw that the fighter jet piloted by Jedi apprentice was hit by several blaster beams. The aircraft exploded and burned directly in space, and then the flames were extinguished instantly, turning into countless fragments flying around.
At this time, a very familiar face appeared on the screen in front of Kep-Xie, "Surrender, Master Kep. This is your only way to survive."
"Adi-Master Gallia... I once thought you were dead." A trace of regret flashed in Master Kep-Xie's eyes, "I didn't expect you to become Galactic Republic's traitor!"
"I am indeed dead... Maybe I betrayed Galactic Republic, but I did not betray the Light Way! The behind-the-scenes of this war is far more complicated than you imagine!" Adi-Gallia said, "Now, surrender, before I shoot you down."
"There is no word surrender in Jedi Creed!" Kep-Xie said loudly.
"You will die here! You know you are no match for me!" Adi-Gallia raised his voice, "I... don't want to do this."
"Then come on! Kill me! Your hands are already covered in blood!"
Two Delta-7 fighter jets were flying through space like Blitz, so fast that even electronic instruments could not lock on to them!
But the movement frequency of one of them was obviously faster than that of the other. The fighter jets kept changing angles and directions, and finally blocked the opponent's dodge angle with a series of Company One shots. Then they fired again, and the scorching blaster beam instantly penetrated the wing of the Delta-7 fighter jet.
The wing was penetrated, and the out-of-control fighter was hit by more blaster beams, eventually turning into a ball of fire and completely destroyed.
Republic fighter squadron, which had lost its leader, was massacred by the Tri-fighter formation, which had an absolute advantage in quantity and quality. Such a tragic scene was like swatting flies.
Similarly, the artillery fire of 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers continued to explode on 10 Hunter Class Battlecruisers!
The shield was broken, the armor was penetrated, and the exploded armor fragments and corpse fragments were blown dozens of kilometers away along with the air ejected from the hull.
But Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser continued to fire, and the powerful Turbolaser hit the outer armor of Hunter Class, causing tragic explosions one after another...
One of the Hunter Class Battlecruiser was finally overwhelmed by the constant bombardment. First, the weakly armored bow Hangar Platform part was broken in the explosion. Then the explosive gas and missiles stored in the hangar were detonated one after another. The explosion spread to the rear of the warship. In the end, the warship was blown into four parts of different sizes and fell directly towards Malastare.
Almost every one of the remaining Hunter Class Battlecruisers was seriously damaged, with flames constantly spraying out from the damaged sealed cabins, but they were still struggling to rush into the planet's atmosphere.
The Gravity Generator of two of the warships were damaged and could not land in a posture perpendicular to the direction of gravity with relatively small resistance, so they fell directly crookedly. Under the extremely violent air friction and high temperature, the hull of the ship, which had been overwhelmed during the continuous attacks, suddenly shattered, and the battleship disintegrated directly in mid-air!
The bridge of another battleship was attacked intensively, and the bridge was completely flattened. Then the engine stalled during the attack. Although luckily it did not cause the energy module to explode, the battleship also turned into a steel coffin that could not move at all. It floated on the periphery of Malastare, and was slowly pulled into the planet's atmosphere by gravity...
