Chapter 2425 Thrawn’s Request
2426. Thrawn’s request
Flagship of the Imperial Northern Fleet, Imperial-class Star Destroyer Chimera, bridge.
"General! Severance Tann is coming with her Titan battleship!" Fleet Adjutant Reel Bentine said to Admiral Thrawn who was concentrating on commanding the battle.
Thrawn's original serious expression now immediately became more solemn. He took out a very retro but gorgeous small mechanical clock from his pocket, looked at it, shook his head and said: "At least it is 20 minutes earlier than my worst judgment."
"The separatist battleships are retreating towards the Titan battleships." Rael Benting pointed at the holographic battle star map and said, "The two Apocalypse-class battleships have been severely damaged. Let's ask the Lila to fire two more salvos. Definitely capable of blowing them to pieces.”
However, Thrawn just shook his head and said: "No, we know what the Titan battleship can do, but we still don't know if it can do other things. Inform the Lila to give up the salvo and immediately circulate the deflector protection Shield, adjust all energy to the shield capacitor ”
Rael Benting nodded and said: "Yes! Adjust all energy to the shield capacitor immediately!" He also understood Thrawn's intention of doing this.
Because Thrawn was indeed worried, Severance Tann came up without hesitation and fired a doomsday weapon, giving the Executor-class Star Destroyer a hard shot.
The Lila super Star Destroyer had also been engaged in high-intensity combat for four hours, and had also been shot at by the high-energy laser arrays of five Apocalypse-class battleships for four hours. The condition of this super Star Destroyer is also not very good. The current estimate of the power of the Titan battleship's doomsday weapon is still unclear. If the Lila is directly destroyed with a direct shot, the battle situation here will completely collapse in an instant!
"The opponent's Titan battleship has a one-hour cooling time after firing the doomsday weapon. We must ensure that the Lila survives the first shot!" Thrawn emphasized, "Order all battleships to retreat in an orderly manner! Restart the cycle immediately Shield, cool down the main gun! Prepare for the next round of combat!”
Just when he was giving the order, on the holographic battle star map in front of him, an Empire-class Star Destroyer was being torn into pieces by the Titan battleship Archangel! !
The main guns of the Archangel-class Titan battleship are actually the same as the Apocalypse-class battleship, which are high-energy laser arrays. Because the Apocalypse-class battleship is shaped like a pistol, high-energy laser arrays are installed on both sides, with three groups on each side.
However, due to the unique shape of the Angel-class Titan battleship, the Titan battleship only has two sets of high-energy laser arrays installed on the left and right sides of the rear hull. The other eight sets of high-energy laser arrays are installed on both sides of the large disc in front. This is a very clever shot, because the high-energy laser arrays on the disc share the energy transmission channel with the focusing device of the doomsday weapon. .
The eight high-energy laser arrays installed on the edge of the disc also have a very wide range of radiation, with almost no blind spots.
Now the Titan battleship Archangel has opened fire fiercely at the surrounding Galactic Empire battleships! A total of 12 sets of high-energy laser arrays fired continuously. The undetectable flash of light disappeared in a flash, but what followed was that the Empire-class Star Destroyer in front instantly collapsed and burst into flames! !
For the same weapon, the power fired from the Titan battleship Divine Envoy and the Apocalypse-class battleship are not at the same level at all! The Imperial-class Star Destroyer in front of it initially tried to use all its firepower to give the Archangel a blow, but in less than 5 minutes, the Star Destroyer had turned into a burning fireball! !
The Titan battleship Archangel was still moving forward. Its huge hull collided with the wreckage of the Empire-class Star Destroyer that had completely caught fire and exploded. It immediately smashed the burning wreckage into countless burning fragments and flew in all directions.
At the same time, several towering buildings rose from the back end of the Titan battleship. These buildings formed a unique array, and an invisible energy began to condense at the top.
At this moment, an alarm sounded from the Chimera's bridge, and the soldier controlling the sensor quickly shouted: "General!! Large-scale hyperspace fluctuations have been detected!!" "Is there another fleet coming?" Suo said. Long frowned. If so, he was planning to run away.
"No... this fluctuation is not the fluctuation of hyperspace jump. It is... similar to the hyperspace stabilizer we used to use." The soldier paused and said with certainty: "Yes, it is the hyperspace stabilizer. ! ! The Separatist Titan battleship is stabilizing hyperspace and opening the hyperspace channel! ”
Adjutant Ray Benting exclaimed, "During the raid on the Model sector, the hyperspace stabilizer built by Quat Dynamics Shipyard? That was a super giant space building with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers! They actually miniaturized this thing into Titan On the battleship!”
Thrawn suddenly said categorically: "Call the ships to attack with all their strength! Notify the Super Star Destroyer Lila to launch an assault! Don't give the opponent's warships a chance to open the passage!!"
"Attack? What if they bombard the Lila with doomsday weapons?" Rael Benting asked.
"The doomsday weapons will not be launched until they open the channel and attract more battleships!" Thrawn said directly. "There is no doubt that Severance Tann was also worried that one launch would not destroy the Lila! So she chose Seek stability!”
He stared intently at the Titan battleship Archangel on the holographic combat star map, and his target was very complicated.
Yes, he did have a perfect plan, but he couldn't figure out a function he didn't know about! There is no information that can tell him what functional modules the Titan battleship God's Envoy is equipped with! He can only judge based on the launch of the doomsday weapon.
In this way, he missed at least 20 minutes, allowing the first squadron, which was on the verge of destruction, to retreat to the Titan battleship Archangel.
"Prepare the conference room and pick me up Dunn Wessex!" Thrawn said as he walked towards the conference room.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"General! Dunn, he..." Rael Benting hesitated to speak.
He understood that Thrawn's visit to Dunn Wessex at this time could only be to ask for reinforcements. But... with Dunn's character, Thrawn will definitely receive crazy abuse, blows and even revenge!
But...if there are no reinforcements, they are likely to be defeated by the general army, all their previous efforts will be wasted, and they may even be destroyed!
Alas, the electronic door of the conference room closed silently, cutting off Thrawn's figure and the predictable insults from Dunne Wessex.
In the dark conference room, Thrawn sat alone at the conference table, with his hands crossed on his chin, watching the holographic projection that gradually became clearer.
【Ha ha ha ha! Isn't this our future Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, military hero, Lord Thrawn? ] Dunn Wessex's malicious voice came, [Looking for me, a poor little person, what do you want to do? 】
The image of Dunn Wessex did not appear in the holographic projection, but what appeared on the screen was just a withered potted plant.
"I ask you to send out the last defense fleet on the planet Palin-Minor. Now, the separatist Titan battleship is isolated and surrounded by us. If reinforcements can arrive in time, this is our best chance to sink this Titan battleship. , is also the last chance." Thrawn said in a deep voice.
