The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2302: Lundili Raid (Part )

2303: Lundili Raid (II)
Principality of Dawn, Rendili Defense Fleet, Poke Victory II-class Star Destroyer.

"Fire!"

"Fire!!"

"Fire!!!" With a resolute order to fire, the twin-turret heavy turbolaser cannons installed on the second deck of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer fired again and again. At the same time, the turbolaser cannons installed in the front of the battleship also fired synchronously.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The firepower of the Imperial warships also began to hit their own warships. Although they were blocked by the deflector shields, the violent explosions still caused the warships to shake violently. People on the bridge were immediately thrown to the ground.

"Sir! The energy of the deflector shield ahead is severely reduced!" The officer at the console turned around and shouted.

"Left turn 90, broadside to engage the enemy!" The captain immediately gave the order, "Increase the evasive range!"

"Yes!"

Boom! Boom! Even on the holographic battle star map, you can see dense turbolaser beams firing at you, some of which pass by the battleships, while others hit them directly. Each hit causes a terrifying explosion, and the shield indicator keeps sounding the alarm.

"Speed ​​up! Avoid as much as possible!" the captain shouted.

"Speed ​​up!" the operator repeated loudly while maneuvering the warship to fly towards one side of the battlefield.

"Sir! Headquarters requires us to maintain formation for at least 30 seconds!" the signalman reported loudly.

"Reply to headquarters, unable to maintain formation, the ship's shield is seriously damaged! Forced to enter evasive posture!" The captain replied immediately. "Keep firing! Target, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, mark EI-097! Proton torpedoes ready!"

"Missiles incoming!"

The laser cannon on the USS Poke Star Destroyer immediately reduced its power to rapid-fire mode and fired crazily, forming a light net around the battleship. Most of the hundreds of incoming missiles were intercepted, but some still slipped through the net.

But when these missiles approached, they suddenly changed direction, flew to the side, and soon disappeared into the universe.

Several Double-Edge class electronic warfare light cruisers flew around, providing powerful electronic warfare support to the battlefield.

At the same time, the proton torpedoes fired by the Poke in panic were also fired from the side, but there was no hope that the proton torpedoes fired at this distance would achieve any results.

On the current battlefield, the distance between the two fleets is less than 1 light second. The Galactic Empire fleet has opened fire at full power, and countless artillery fire has come. The Rendili defense fleet is simply unable to resist. The left-wing fleet deployed by Admiral Trench soon became disorganized due to the all-out attack.

The 200 Victory II-class Star Destroyers on the left wing were simply unable to withstand the crazy shooting of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

Even though we had the firepower support from Interstellar Base No. 3 and thousands of Gauss artillery platforms, we were still at a disadvantage in the air battle.

"General! I suggest that the right-wing fleet set out immediately and detour to the side and rear of the Imperial fleet!" Malcolm Granger shouted.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Not at this time." Admiral Trench clapped his pointer and said slowly, "He's waiting for me to do this. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

The left-wing fleet had begun to show signs of disintegration, and was retreating away from the right wing as the Imperial fleet was chasing it. That direction was Starbase No. 2. At this moment, the powerful pulse laser cannon of the Starbase had already opened fire, and the thick laser beams were shining over, slowly passing over the deflector shields of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers. However, up to now in the battle, neither side had any plans to launch fighter formations. The Imperial fleet was just staring at the left wing and chasing it relentlessly, seemingly intending to completely destroy the left wing, and then turn around to deal with the right wing.

Admiral Trench had been staring at the formation of the Imperial fleet on the holographic star map.

The left-wing fleet kept retreating, getting closer and closer to the planet, while the Imperial fleet, which was chasing them, also circled around the planet.

"Now! Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench slammed the table, "Particle light spears, fire!"

The 40 Disaster-class battlecruisers had already completed charging and immediately fired a salvo! And at this time, because the Imperial fleet was bypassing the planet, the side and rear of their battleships were facing the direction of the Disaster-class!

40 extremely bright beams of light shot out instantly, and at that moment, flames immediately exploded in the Imperial fleet formation! Several Victory II-class Star Destroyers that lagged behind were directly destroyed by this salvo!
"Good shot!" Malcolm Granger punched hard.

"Right wing fleet, begin advancing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Admiral Trench slowly gave the order, "Take off, fighter formation. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... one wave."

A wave of attack formation consists of approximately one thousand fighter jets.

From the hangar platforms everywhere, Ghost fighters and Viking fighters began to take off one after another, immediately activating their cloaking devices and following the Imperial fleet.

As soon as the stealth fighter formation took off, it immediately dispersed in all directions, up, down, left and right, launching attacks from different directions as much as possible to disperse the imperial fleet's anti-aircraft firepower.

Countless close defense guns immediately opened fire, forming a fire net around the Galactic Empire's warships. Fighters were shot down immediately, but more fighters still rushed over like locusts and prepared to launch proton torpedoes.

At the same time, the Imperial fleet finally opened the hangar door, and a large number of TIE/LN light fighters flew out. Under the guidance of the battleship's flight control department, they flew towards the direction where there was nothing but lasers and missiles were constantly being fired.

The fighter formations of both sides finally collided. At this moment, countless fireballs exploded, most of which were TIE/LN fighters. Although the maneuverability of TIE fighters far exceeded that of Ghost fighters, they were always a beat slower in reaction to invisible opponents under the command of the battleships, and were immediately slaughtered!

However, after being attacked from the side and rear, the Galactic Empire's fleet did not turn around, but immediately rushed forward at full speed. Soon, the fleet bypassed the planet Rendili and began to leave the battlefield.

As they left the battlefield, the fleet suddenly dropped a large number of cylindrical external devices. After these devices were detached, they soon exploded under the action of the built-in detonators. The explosion actually formed a space turbulence, causing almost all the fire control radars of the Lundili defense fleet to deflect their aiming.

"General, space turbulence has occurred behind the Imperial fleet!" an officer walked over and said.

"Space... turbulence." Admiral Trench frowned.

"I think it's possible that it's the warp engines installed on these warships..." Malcolm Granger was a little uncertain. "The space turbulence caused by these warp engines only needs to interfere with our fire control radar."

"Hmm..." Admiral Trench narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Imperial fleet going away.

The attack of the Galactic Empire Fleet was like a sharp knife that came straight at them. However, it did not cut into the real part, but instead temporarily turned the blade, cut off a piece of meat, and then quickly retracted it.

Moreover, their attack position was very clever. They launched the attack from the left side of Starbase No. 3, constantly deflected, continuously driving away the left wing of the defensive fleet, and then left the battlefield from the right side of Starbase No. 2.

The entire attack was maintained between the two starbases, preventing the starbase's firepower from being fully utilized.

This attack is sharp and precise!
