Chapter 1740 Fearless to the death
"This... Leviathan is still a bit exaggerated." Marshal Ikenluojia said, and then asked the person sitting below: "Isn't there anything strange?"
This is a man wearing a black robe and a hood, who looks very much like the villain Dark Wizard from ancient times. Fortunately, he did not cover his face, so under the hood is a picture of Looking at the face of a man who is about thirty-five or six years old, he can still be considered a young man, his facial features are regular and his temperament is elegant. Regardless of his appearance, he looks like a young and promising university professor.
This is Luofu Gu, one of the great star officials of Hoshimi Pavilion. He actually looks nearly twenty years younger than his real age. He is also the occult advisor to the Imperial Said Front.
"Strange is a relative term. Your Excellency, Marshal." Officer Xingjian smiled with a well-honed court etiquette and said solemnly: "However, I understand what you mean. Now in Seide, the subspace barrier is silent."
You can actually ask me this kind of question. His Highness Duke Xia Ming, Geribian, who was also sitting at the bottom of the conference room, was still a little hurt. She is the new grand leader of the majestic Astral Knights and the Duke of the royal family, but on the battlefield where she once fought, she is not even an occult consultant. The authority is also at the same level as that of Admiral Misaro opposite him, and he is more like a psychic thug of the army.
Just as he was feeling sad, Marshal Ikenluojia's eyes moved over again: "I've confirmed again that everything is normal, right?"
The second time you asked me it was even more hurtful. The Duchess's mood became even lower, and she even couldn't help but secretly glance at her cousin, the young new King Solane, who was also the victor in the battle for the throne.
Before the new chosen emperor was born, what a cute genius boy he was, always sweetly calling his aunt and aunt to follow him, asking for advice on psychic skills and martial arts! But now, through a twist of fate, he has taken all the seats in front of me.
Fortunately, although my nephew is young, he is not a villain after all, and he does not look complacent at all, which makes the head lady quite happy.
"In the name of His Majesty the Emperor, the psykers of the Astral Knights, the Inquisition, and the Star View Pavilion have absolutely no intention of harming others. In all subsequent combat operations, the actions of psykers will definitely comply with the command. "Instructions." She replied loudly.
The marshal nodded slightly and said gratefully: "Your Highness, thank you for your patience and sacrifice."
Fortunately, the people who can sit here for the meeting are all sophisticated adults with general emotional intelligence, so the atmosphere in the headquarters is still harmonious.
Later, Admiral Rosanaio made a solemn suggestion based on his common sense: "A small number of dragon knights should be used to protect the general flagship to prevent the penetration of the opponent's new fighter planes."
"Yes, and be sure to be prepared for air defense and be on the highest alert. If he really has a trump card that he has not used, it is probably the new light-wing fighter. I always feel that it may be another kind of revolution. However, the overall strategic advantage has been established. Just one or two decisive weapons cannot change the overall situation. We only need to execute the battle plan step by step at our own pace, and we can always control it. Seize the throat of fate." Shah Wang made this judgment in the style of a military theorist and a steady academic chief of staff.
In short, since everyone from the Privy Council to the Grand Marshal's Palace to the frontline headquarters of the Said system has determined the unified idea of fighting a stupid war, the configuration of generals on the frontline will inevitably follow this style.
In this way, the time came step by step on May 16. Of course, the Imperial Army Headquarters on the Seder Front also received the report from Cirk.
They all knew that the appointed time had come and it was time to turn from defense to offense.
"Marshal, according to the intelligence prepared by the Grand Marshal's Office in advance, if the people on Earth don't move, we will also start taking action. We must use the most violent offensive to target the main force of the Community here." Sha, who serves as Chief of Staff King Zamen looked at the commander solemnly: "Do we need to do something to boost the morale of the entire army?"
This is my job. Duke Garibian thought. As the leader of the Knights, I rode the dawn-colored ancient dragon and wore golden armor through the starry sky, passing in front of all the soldiers. Their fighting spirit would definitely be ablaze on the spot.
Marshal Ikenluojia thought for a brief moment, then slowly shook his head: "Your Highness, how long has it been since you took office?"
"Three months, Marshal." Of course, King Shazamen would not think that the old Marshal was trying to blame him, so he answered calmly.
The marshal smiled: "And I have been for eight months. My soldiers and I have been fighting side by side. I watched their enthusiasm, courage, and fighting spirit expand and accumulate. Now, the engine is trembling. , the roar of the cannon is the spark that ignites it all. Their pressure, motivation and combat power are enough."
At this time, the mighty imperial fleet composed of more than 3,000 steel battleships deployed in the Said galaxy seemed to be able to completely submerge the small fortress with just a spit of spit.
Of course, in this case, the only thing that will limit the combat power of the imperial army is to consider how to deploy the troops.
The vast space of the universe is almost endless, but there is no problem that the various fleet clusters will be crowded together and unable to expand due to queue problems. However, the space is infinite, but the target is limited, and the charging space and shooting space that can be utilized are also limited.
As a result, as many as 3,400 imperial warships were still divided into four groups arranged in a classic triangle.
The first group is the so-called central army - because all the systems and routes in the rear are firmly controlled by the empire, there is no need for a rear army. Of course, it is personally led by Marshal Ikenroga, including the flagship Titan ships Shikisami and Glory, as well as four dreadnoughts and twelve battlecruisers. In addition, nearly all the armored assault carriers in the fleet, as well as their land groups, are included.
This group is the general reserve force and the largest combat group. Once they enter the intense state of attacking the fortress, it will be their turn to use their flesh and blood to create a smooth path for the Dragon Kings to advance.
In addition, the psyker General Heng Ha in the Sede cluster, His Highness Duke Xia Ming Geribian, the grand leader of the Astral Knights, and Admiral Misaro are also on standby in this cluster.
The second group is the deputy commander Admiral Rosanaio on the left wing, with the Thor as the flagship and five dreadnoughts and six battlecruisers under his command. Their main task is to move counterclockwise along the orbit of the seventh giant planet Said and wipe out the four sub-fortresses of the community and their ancillary equipment. If time permits, the main fortress group and the main force of the Earth Fleet can also be flanked from the side.
The third group was the right-wing group led by King Shazam himself. Although this person holds the position of Chief of General Staff of the Galactic Empire Said, he is obviously not prepared to be an ordinary staff member and would rather lead his own army. His ship is a new type of Titan of the Angel of Dawn class, which pays attention to balance and enhances the speed of sub-light cruising. One Barbarossa class and two Star Patrol class dreadnoughts under its command are also of the speed type.
Their mission is to cruise clockwise along the outer orbit of the galaxy, completely destroy all gravity jammers, turret groups, floating combat platforms and mine groups, and at the same time seize the opportunity to lock the entrance to the No. 1 gravity well of the galaxy and block the earth. The fleet's ultimate journey to escape to the hinterland of the Far Coast Sector.
If this battle can proceed smoothly, King Shazamen will be the biggest hero in this battle.
He may have some selfish motives for making this arrangement, but no one can find anything wrong with it. The feudal lord's Queen Regent is the fastest Titan on the scene and the only new giant ship that can race the Earth Lord's neutrino engine. It is indeed the most suitable for this task.
What else to do? You can't force the elected emperor to hand over his flagship to other generals, right?
Of course, the total mass and paper combat power of the two clusters on the left and right far exceed the entire Earth fleet, but considering the existence of the "Dragon of Dawn", everyone thinks that the combat power is still balanced for the time being.
In this way, if the Earth Fleet concentrates its main force to attack any wing, it will be attacked from the side by Marshal Ikenroga of the central cluster.
...Well, doesn’t this scene sound particularly familiar?
If the people on earth divided their forces to face the enemy individually, the empire's masters would be happier. They said that they had never encountered such an enemy in their lives, and it would be a waste not to make some adjustments. In addition, if Yu Lian is forced to lead his main force to attack any of the imperial fleets on the left and right wings, the fourth group, the so-called front army, will directly launch a fierce attack on the main fortress group in Said.
This former army is commanded by King Thoraine, who is in charge of the Xiaolong. The core combat force is the Titan ship Sky Dragon and the Tireroan Valiant Advance, as well as four Candle King-class dreadnoughts. This type of dreadnought is a superior replacement for the Corona class, but it is also a product of the previous generation. Its cruising ability and endurance are mediocre, but its firepower is very fierce. It is specially prepared for fleet decisive battles and fortress assaults. of.
However, after the Seventh Galactic War, the universe ushered in more than half a century of peace, and the use of specialized giant ships in such fierce battles was lost. As a result, the Empire sealed all eight Candle King-class Dreadnoughts built after 790 Common Era.
Now, in order to ensure the overall victory of this war of conquest, they naturally unsealed all these warships.
These fearless firepowers will cooperate with Xiaolong, who may be the best in the galaxy, to launch a ferocious bombardment directly at the fortress. The Tiruiluo Yongjin plays the role of protecting these attacking fleets. As a Titan ship that patrols the border all year round, her performance in all aspects is very balanced, like an enlarged version of a cruiser.
Of course, for this war, this meritorious Titan ship, which had given so much glory to the empire, was modified, adding protection, a sailor's room, and various protective turrets. As a result, this Titan ship turned into a fortress-like giant ship in a literal sense, just like her appearance.
In this way, the four clusters of imperial fleets formed an uncreative inverted triangle posture.
You may call it "the power of the horns", "two-headed dragon", or "the snake of Changshan" which seems to be quite appropriate. All in all, this is a classic tactic with no creativity. As for whether it is useful or not, it all depends on the strength and execution ability.
So, the day came when the general attack was scheduled to be launched.
The empire's frontline reconnaissance aircraft also sent a report: "The main force of the Earth Fleet is gathering."
"He saw it and saw that we were going to attack."
"And he must have received the news that the Chiello Fortress was lost and the Nantianmen was attacked."
"If he did nothing, he wouldn't be him."
"But no matter what he wants to do, we have to act at our own pace."
He hits his, I hit mine. This is the righteous old-style imperialist tactics.
Then, the imperial troops on the left and right wings began to move according to the predetermined state, like a mighty gorilla opening its long arms and smashing into the head of its prey.
The Tyrero Yongjin, which was in the middle of the advance, also began to slowly move forward. Beside him, the large guard ship began to unfold, preparing to leave space for the Xiaolong behind to advance and reorganize the formation.
The operations of the two fleets, which combined totaled more than 800 large and small ships, were tightly organized and not messy at all, like a silk-smooth building block game. This is a fleet operation that can almost be called a show of skill.
But at this time, the community's attack also began.
Almost all the earth's warships capable of charging were killed from behind the covering fortress group.
It must be admitted that the Imperial Army Staff's judgment on "taking the lead in attacking" and "taking the lead" is quite accurate. When the Blue Star Community's space fleet did attack, the Imperial Army did determine the location of the remaining company as soon as the war started.
However, the subsequent unfolding method is still somewhat different from what everyone imagined.
This time, Earth adopted the most conventional combat method, with the battleship's fierce gunfire as the precursor, and the entire fleet transformed into a spindle-shaped central breakthrough operation.
As the general flagship, the Fuxi indeed constituted the sharpest arrow for this breakthrough, directly piercing the Tiruiro Yongjin located in the center of the imperial army.
This can serve at least two purposes.
First, disrupt the enemy fleet's formation operations and slow down the enemy fleet's attack on the fortress group.
Second, attack! Take the initiative to attack! A desperate attack! Attack wherever you can kill!
Again, the two sides have been facing each other here for more than half a year, and both sides are already quite familiar with each other's pace. Of course, the Imperial Army has also guessed that the people on Earth on the opposite side will definitely launch an active attack on themselves, and it will even be very violent.
However, this approach, which seemed to put everything on the card table without leaving any room, still shocked them.
"A too violent attack will also cause the warships and personnel to fall into a state of exhaustion prematurely. Did he finally make a mistake?" King Shazamen asked curiously.
"No, we can't have such extravagant hopes!" Marshal Ikenluojia said: "There must be something fishy about such a decisive decision!"
"I'm just worried that with such an attack, there will be danger on the Tirero Yongjin and Xiaolong. Don't ask me why I think so, but I do have such an ominous premonition." Admiral Rosanaio said.
"There is a shadow of destiny, but the scales are still balanced." Love Guxing said to the official.
"Speak humanly!" King Solain shouted loudly.
"His tactics will be dangerous, but the overall situation is still under our control."
There was such urgent discussion among the senior officials of the Imperial Army.
At this time, standing on the pilot array on the bridge of the Fuxi, Yu Lian let his senses and spiritual senses follow the spiritual network composed of priceless zero elements, and reached resonance with all the god-level alchemy units. Now, he seemed to have felt all the main gun units of the Lord God class, as if the four most powerful dreadnoughts in the galaxy had turned into his arms, and those powerful main guns had turned into his swords.
