Chapter 848 The Lost Fleet (End)
847. The Lost Fleet (End)
The engines of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers one after another lit up, and a large amount of dry water was discharged from the hatches. The bodies of the crew members of the Republic's Justice Fleet then opened their shields and turned their guns to fire at the Republic's fleet led by Octavian Grant.
The Rookery Hook-class battleship piloted by Murte arrived at the Blade Fleet nearly 40 minutes early, which became the decisive factor in this battle.
Although the Rookery Hook-class battleship collided with the Plague, there were still more than 50,000 Gran Marines swarming out to snatch the Dreadnought-class heavyweight of the Blade Fleet. cruiser. In the next hour, more than 15,000 Marines recovered from minor injuries from the collision and joined the battle.
In total, they robbed more than 150 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers.
When the main fleets of both sides arrived at the battlefield later, most of these warships were still warming up their engines, but there were still 7 or 8 warships involved in the battle. As time goes by, more and more Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers will join the battle, which is a snowballing advantage.
The fleet led by Admiral Trench and Octavian Grant was in a melee on the Blade Fleet. The two sides refused to retreat even a step and sent a large number of marines to land on the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser without any hesitation. Grab the boat.
At the same time, inside the Plague, the ending was also ushered in.
The bruised Jedi Master Ith-Koth was leaning against the corner. Only in this way could he remain standing. His hands holding the lightsaber were also shaking. Several gunshot wounds on his arms made it almost impossible for him to wield the light. sword.
More than a dozen B-2 super battle robots raised their right arms to reveal blaster machine guns and pointed them at the desperate Jedi Master. There were more Gran soldiers standing far away. They did not dare to get too close because This desperate Jedi master had killed at least a hundred of them before.
But at this moment, they who could have easily shot Isi-Kos into a sieve did not fire, but moved to both sides to make a way out.
Darth Malthael, wearing a black cloak, strode up, came to him, and said coldly: "Master Ith-Koth, surrender. The Galactic Republic has ushered in Failure again, and soon, failure will become a habit for you."
Iss-Kos raised his dull eyes and looked at Darth Malthael without saying a word. He raised his lightsaber with all his strength and made a crooked sword posture.
"Ha..." Darth Malthael smiled coldly, raised his hand, and Is-Kos's lightsaber flew out of his hand and landed in his hand, "Capture him."
Seeing that he didn't have his lightsaber, the Gran soldiers who were cowering just now became fierce. They rushed forward, pushed Is-Kos to the ground, and handcuffed him.
Darth Malthael kept sneering, "Capturing alive one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order is definitely big news, right?"
He knelt down and gently slapped Isi-Kos on the face with the back of his hand. However, Isi-Kos had almost fainted and had no reaction at all.
Darth Malthael stood up and ordered: "Tell Trench to speed up! I don't want to see the little rats of the Republic continue to covet my blade fleet!"
< br>……
"Your Majesty the Governor, the separatists have occupied more than three-quarters of the Blade Fleet warships. Now these warships are just warming up their engines for the time being, but if this continues, we may suffer extremely serious losses..." In On the Republic fleet flagship, the Chasseur-class battlecruiser USS Elder, the adjutant came over and said to Octavian Grant.
“How many battleships have we actually determined that we can capture?” Octavian Grant asked.
"Currently we have boarded 37 warships, and most of them are still fiercely contested. But I must say that the situation is not optimistic. The separatists have brought many people." The adjutant said.
Octavian Grant nodded solemnly, "The Separatists have three Rookery Hook-class battleships, and their transport capacity far exceeds ours... The damn Givens!" He punched the control On stage.
If the Given people hadn't pretended to be crazy in the Galactic Council and set up hyperspace blockers in their galaxy, he wouldn't have rushed over with only a formation of Jaeger-class battlecruisers. We need to bring some Cheer-class assault landing ships!
He took several deep breaths and then said: "Notify all Marines that we have 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, we will break away from the battle and leave here immediately!"
The adjutant nodded, Standing at attention and saluting, "Yes!"
......
The battle in the last 20 minutes was brutal. Because the Galactic Republic only brought Jaeger-class battlecruisers, their marines totaled only 20,000. There are not enough people. Compared with the three Rookery Hook-class battleships brought by the fourth civilization, a total of 300,000 troops, which is completely insufficient.
Even if the Marines of the Republic are very elite clone soldiers, in such an environment, there is still a huge numerical disadvantage of 1:10, and they cannot make full use of it.
In fact, Tang Xiao ordered the Granites to dispatch the 300,000 troops instead of stuffing 600,000 robots into the Rookery Hook-class battleship because of the complex environment of such a boarding operation. Under this situation, intelligent biological soldiers are much more flexible in handling and adapting.
Before the main fleets of both sides arrived, Severance Tann's remaining fleet snatched 6 Dreadnought-class ships, and Shen Jon's people landed on the other two Dreadnought-class ships.
Afterwards, the Marines in the Rookery Hook-class battleship brought by Murte in advance landed on 170 of the remaining 192 Dreadnought-class battleships. Even if it was too late to completely control the battleship, they at least entered the battleship. It can be done by locking the hangar door afterwards.
Afterwards, the main fleets of both sides arrived, and a large number of landing forces began to compete. All warships were boarded, of which the Marines of the Galactic Republic forcibly broke into 37 ships.
The battleships that were forcibly broken into were basically because the Galactic Republic had the key to the battleship. Therefore, if the Marines of the Fourth Civilization did not have time to completely take over the battleship system, the Republic could directly control the battleship to open the hatch and welcome the landing troops to enter.
So in the final stage of the battle, the Galactic Republic actually only fought on 39 of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers.
After listening to the analysis of the fleet staff, Admiral Trench made the decision to open fire on all Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were hopeless to recapture.
At the same time, Governor Octavian Grant of the 20th Army of the Galactic Republic also issued an order for the entire army to retreat.
Only 15 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were able to be taken away. The remaining 178 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were controlled by the fourth civilization. During the battle, 7 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were destroyed.
The battle for the Blade Fleet ended in such chaos.
After the Galactic Republic fleet retreated, Tang Xiao ordered all fleets to repair on the spot, establish a hyperspace navigation beacon here, guide the engineering fleet to enter, and perform maintenance and renovation on all the stolen Blade Fleet warships.
And the most important thing is to restart the Titan battleship Plague, which has been completely paralyzed and cannot even sail normally - this terrifying steel monster that once became the nightmare of people across the galaxy has been Dying.
