Chapter 2303: Rendili Raid Battle (3)
2304. Rendili Raid Battle (3)
Rundili Planet Command Center.
"General, the imperial fleet has stopped 30 light seconds away from us and reorganized its formation." The radar soldier ran over to report.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... All battleships, use all firepower. Bomb... the imperial fleet. tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and gave the order directly.
"Yes!"
Lieutenant General Malcolm Granger asked strangely: "General, why didn't you order a long-distance bombing when the imperial fleet first appeared. But now you are bombing again. What? "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... because the imperial fleet will not launch an attack. tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench said slowly.
"Will not launch an attack? Why?" Lieutenant General Malcolm Granger was even more confused.
"When they first appeared... I needed to ensure that the cooling system of the battleship was in optimal condition. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... So no, long-range bombing. This will bring us closer. When we fight head-on, the combat effectiveness will be reduced. Gap." Admiral Trench hit the pointer, "And now, since they won't attack...then I need to keep the pressure..."
He seemed to be very satisfied with his judgment, stroking his chelicerae and said: "Why don't you launch an attack? Tsk tsk tsk tsk... because of supplies and morale. Although their attacks are sharp, they are not lasting... tsk tsk tsk tsk. A few. After months of sailing, their condition is very bad. The firing frequency of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer has dropped faster than normal..."
Vice Admiral Malcolm Granger. Surprised: "You can even observe this?"
"Intelligence is all in the details...Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." Admiral Trench said proudly.
While they were talking, bursts of dazzling flashes suddenly lit up outside the portholes - they were the flashes of the orbital defense cannon firing near them. Obviously, in order to maintain strong fire suppression, even the orbital defense system on the ground opened fire.
Vice Admiral Malcolm Granger nodded, "So you are saying that despite the fact that the Imperial Fleet's previous offensive was so sharp, in fact, they spent several months at warp speed. After a long time, the spirit of the fleet officers and soldiers has reached its limit, and their energy reserves are running out!”
He thought for a while and said: "Then should we take the initiative and force them to fight us in a bad state?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... That's the way to die." Admiral Trench stroked his chelicerae and said, "The Executor-class super Star Destroyer did not fully participate in the battle. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Malcolm Granger was startled and reacted suddenly. Indeed, during the previous assault, the most powerful and terrifying super battleship, the 19,000-meter-long Executor-class super Star Destroyer, had been just staying in the center of the fleet array, only firing occasionally!
"The opponent's commander... is a master. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench's eyes narrowed.
"But no matter what, the opponent's raid failed. In this case, we can directly intercept their logistics supplies and starve them to death here!" Malcolm Granger said decisively .
"So far, that's indeed the case. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench pondered for a while and said, "But I'm not sure if the other party has any... back-up moves. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"I will immediately take a fleet to the edge of the galaxy to maintain the hyperspace blocker array and prevent the imperial fleet from opening up the supply line!" Malcolm Granger immediately requested a fight.
"Here you go, 100 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, and all Victory I-class Star Destroyers. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... be careful, don't fall into a trap." Admiral Trench nodded. , "If the Imperial fleet comes back for reinforcements... don't engage in battle. Tsk tsk tsk tsk." "Yes!"
The Victory I-class Star Destroyer, although in a battle of this level, is already considered It is impossible for the battleships of the previous era to pose any threat to cutting-edge battleships like the Empire. But after all, it is a 900-meter-long Star Destroyer, which is still a fatal threat to the light cruisers of the Galactic Empire.
...
At the same time, the bridge of the Executor super Star Destroyer, flagship of the Galactic Empire fleet.
The tall and terrifying figure of Darth Vader stood motionless in the center of the bridge, and could only hear the heavy breathing coming from the respirator. This rhythmic breathing made almost everyone on the bridge stay silent, fearing that they might disturb this terrible demon and cause death.
At this time, a naval officer came over and asked carefully: "Lord, may I ask...what is our next plan?"
"Take a rest for three hours, and then continue Attack." Darth Vader said coldly.
A drop of cold sweat flowed from the officer's forehead, and he whispered: "Lord, it may be a bit reluctant to continue the attack... After three months of continuous warp sailing, the energy consumption of those external warp engines is very large. Now each ship The battleship's energy reserves have bottomed out, and... due to the constant unexpected losses during the voyage, the damage control department has been overloaded, and their state..."
He did not finish his words. , and was directly lifted up by the invisible force! All I heard was Darth Vader said slowly in his devilishly deep voice: "In three hours, launch the attack."
After saying that, he waved his hand and threw the officer directly out, bang. There was a crash against the console.
"Instruct all ships to rest for three hours before launching another attack!" The adjutant immediately conveyed the order.
Although the captains of each battleship cursed in their hearts, facing the terrifying power of Darth Vader, they did not dare to show any signs of it.
The captain of the Executor came over and asked: "Lord, in comparison, the condition of the Executor is better. Otherwise, if we let this ship rush forward this time, I believe that with our firepower, we will destroy the separated ships in one fell swoop." Defense of doctrine!”
Because the Principality of Dawn once stood with Count Dooku, after the war resumed, the empire once again placed the name of separatism on the Principality of Dawn.
However, Darth Vader said coldly: "Enforcer, continue to stand still."
"Yes..." the captain lowered his head in response, and then returned to his post. Continue to direct operations.
"Lord! The radar has detected it!" An officer walked over quickly, "The Separatist fleet separated a part of the warships to conduct a short-distance hyperspace jump. The target should be the hyperspace blockade at the edge of the galaxy. Array of weapons! They want to cut off our supplies!”
"Ignore it." Darth Vader remained unmoved.
The helmet that completely covered his entire face made it impossible to see any of his expressions.
Three hours later, the entire imperial fleet was once again fully powered and heading towards the Rendili Galaxy at full speed!
