Chapter 531: Another Battle on Geonosis (Part 2)
529: Another Battle on Geonosis (Part 2)
“What’s going on! Suddenly there are more fighter jets in the Republic?” Admiral Trench, who commanded the fleet operations, was so shocked that he almost dropped his pointer to the ground.
"Sir, the Republic has taken off more fighter jets, and they should have carried additional hangar bays." The T-series tactical robots could not understand what was happening, and could only follow their own program logic to come up with a It considers the most reasonable explanation.
"Continue to attack! Those extra fighter jets must be fake!" Admiral Trench said decisively.
Needless to say, those Vulture robot fighters were already fighting with more than 1,000 V-19 Torrent fighters under the guidance of the program.
I saw a Vulture robot fighter suddenly accelerated, locked onto one of the Torrent fighters, and immediately launched a series of blaster beams. However, these blaster beams seemed to hit the air directly from the aircraft. The Riptide fighter plane passed through it.
The Vulture robot fighter plane had no other ideas. The program determined that the attack failed, and it immediately began to turn around to prepare for a second attack. However, at this moment, a real Riptide fighter plane flew over at high speed. A burst of fierce fire from the laser cannon instantly blew the Vulture fighter into pieces.
Faced with the thousands of Republic fighter planes that were both real and illusory, the Confederation of Independent Systems' vulture robot fighters suddenly scrambled around like headless flies, while the pilots on the Galactic Republic side were greatly boosted in morale. Flying a fighter jet mixed with countless illusions is a joyful harvest.
The modified ARC-170 piloted by Luna Dream and Luna Phantom was like a god of death on the battlefield, and all the Vulture fighters they encountered were easily shot down wherever they passed.
Luna-Meng was so excited that she was laughing and flying the fighter jet towards the most dangerous place with the most enemy planes. Luna-Meng kept reminding her sister in the earphone not to act recklessly and to be more steady.
A large number of Vulture robot fighters of the Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems were shot down. Not long after, the Karak-class light cruiser and CR-70 frigate left hyperspace and arrived at the battlefield. Not long after that, five Cheer-class powerful ships Assault landing ships and other small warships also arrived.
Finally, the huge 2,011-meter bodies of the four Invincible-class heavy cruisers appeared on the battlefield. They are the largest battleships here, but after all, it is the technology and design of more than 3,000 years ago that led to their hyperspace engine level. Not enough, and finally arrived at the battlefield.
The so-called level of a hyperspace engine can be intuitively understood as how far each hyperspace jump can be. Some engines with lower hyperspace levels have a very short distance each time, and it takes more distance to reach the same place. jump, and the engines needed to be recooled and the course recalculated.
This will waste a lot of time, and the super-matter fuel used by the hyperspace engine will also consume a lot of fuel, and it often needs to be replenished.
Therefore, the larger and more advanced the warship, the higher the level of the hyperspace engine, and it can also carry more hypermatter fuel.
Therefore, often during long-distance raids, fleet commanders will dispatch large warships with close hyperspace levels instead of incorporating small warships - because this will reduce mobility. But this time, the Galactic Republic really had no choice, because the 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers previously promised to be delivered by Kuat Power Shipyard were secretly delayed by Palpatine, so Depa-Bilaba could only find such a team. A motley crew headed to the planet Geonosis, resulting in a mixed fleet of hyperdrive levels.
However, the reason why Depa Billaba dared to do this was because of her two most beloved apprentices - Luna Dream and Luna Phantom!
They must be together to use the Force, which also prevents them from learning the sword skills of lightsabers. However, their Force talent is very powerful, and they also have a unique talent-creating illusions!
This illusion that can confuse the warship's radar is completely a battlefield-level ability!
Admiral Trench's plan to rely on a large number of fighter jets to disrupt the formation of the Republic fleet and severely damage the Republic fleet before the follow-up warships arrived was completely frustrated by the illusion of the Dream Sisters!
More than a thousand phantoms and more than 200 real fighters easily destroyed the fleet of Vulture robot fighters. Now, Admiral Trench had to face the Republic fleet, which was almost intact!
The high-power laser main gun of the 2011-meter-long, roughly cylindrical giant battleship Invincible is aimed at the Confederate fleet, and then fires directly!
After being launched, it spread but still focused within a 5-meter diameter range. The ultra-high-power laser instantly illuminated a Generous-class frigate. The frigate’s shield sounded a piercing alarm almost at the same time. Large areas of the capacitor were burned, followed by a violent explosion!
The B-1 robot that wanted to repair and replace the capacitor was blown away by the explosion. Smoke billowed inside the Generosity-class ship. It completely lost its combat effectiveness and floated there crookedly.
As an old battleship from more than 3,000 years ago, the biggest shortcoming of the Invincible-class heavy cruiser is that it cannot cope with the all-out attacks from many directions by today's increasingly modern star fighters, but these battleships are big enough after all. , if it is big enough, the energy will be strong enough, and the power of the main gun will be even more terrifying!
Under normal circumstances, it might only take one or two squadron fighter attacks to make the Invincible class lose sight of one thing or another, but the terrifying illusion of the Dream Sisters covering the entire battlefield directly reversed everything. Admiral Trench I simply didn’t dare to take off more fighter jets to come and die.
In this way, the two sides launched a formation and fired guns. The Republic fleet, which had the advantage in number and size of warships, was not false at all, or in other words, they wished it was like this.
Depa-Bilaba gave an order, and all the warships of the Republic fleet came on board.
CR-70 frigates and Karak-class light cruisers took advantage of their maneuverability to attack from the flanks, while 18 Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers and 4 Invincible-class heavy cruisers escorted 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships without any tricks, directly from The front is pressed up!
And after the Cheer class and the Invincible class entered the battlefield, they took off more fighters, and now the number of Republic fighters on the battlefield has increased to more than 600, including more than 400 V-19 Torrent fighters and more than 200 Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets.
The number of illusions maintained by the Dream Sisters remains at more than 1,000, which is also the current limit of their abilities.
Under the cover of these illusions, the pilots of the Galactic Republic roared past in their fighter jets! Admiral Trench took off all the Vulture robot fighters and surrounded the battleship for protection, but to no avail!
The outer blockade of the planet Geonosis, breakthrough!
