The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2305: Lundili Raid (V)

2306: Lundili Raid (V)
Admiral Trench finally launched a counterattack!

Ten Hell's Angels-class battlecruisers rushed directly towards the Galactic Empire fleet without any reason. Relying on their solid and heavy protection with electric heated armor, they attracted a large amount of firepower. Under the command of the captains of each ship, they turned the ship sideways and fired crazily with the high-energy gamma-ray emitters on the side.

As the backbone of the fleet, the Cole-class battlecruisers are like a stabilizing force. Their hypermatter electromagnetic cannons have a slow firing rate, but their conventional firepower is still strong. Although the conventional firepower of the Cole-class battlecruisers can no longer shake the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, they are still quite effective against the Victory II-class Star Destroyers behind the Imperial fleet formation.

The Martha-class missile heavy cruisers fired missiles again and again. Each shot of the Fire Cloud series missiles would produce a large and deadly radiation cloud. Even if a Star Destroyer stayed in the radiation cloud for a long time, its main armor belt would be corroded!

Of course, the most threatening one is the Disaster-class Battlecruiser. This type of battleship has its original weapon system removed and replaced with particle lances, causing horrific destructive power!
If a Victory II-class Star Destroyer is hit head-on by a particle light spear, it will basically be destroyed with one shot to break its shield and two shots to kill it, leaving them with no chance at all.

This elite fleet is also the only trump card in Admiral Trench's hand, and the only force that can compete head-on with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

"All-out attack!" Admiral Trench clenched his six fists tightly and roared loudly, which was rare.

He was usually calm and composed, but this time he gave the order to attack as if he was venting his anger. He was using this roar to cover up his inner anxiety...

But now faced with a dilemma, he must make a decision!

Now the Imperial Fleet is chasing the scattered Left Wing, and more than 20 Victory II-class Star Destroyers of the Left Wing Fleet have been destroyed. But the Imperial Fleet is still chasing relentlessly, vowing to tear the Left Wing apart completely.

Admiral Trench immediately led the right-wing main fleet to advance at full speed and launched an attack from the side and rear of the Imperial Fleet!

This attack was very decisive, and the Imperial Fleet did not seem to expect Admiral Trench to launch such a sharp attack, and did not react for a while. Those Victory II-class Star Destroyers of the Imperial Fleet that fell behind the formation were immediately hit hard and destroyed in large numbers!

"Attack!" Admiral Trench hit the holographic star map hard with his pointer.

The Lundili defense fleet opened fire at full force. Not only that, after receiving the counterattack order, many of the warships on the left wing that were collapsing quickly adjusted and launched a desperate counterattack. The left and right wings immediately formed a pincer attack on the imperial fleet!

Faced with such an emergency, the Imperial fleet fell into chaos and many warships were destroyed.

but……

"Not enough! Keep attacking!" Admiral Trench stared at the holographic star map. On the battlefield, the more than 400 Imperial-class Star Destroyers were still as solid as a rock! The huge 1600-meter-long ship remained strong even after being hit hard.

And now, as the fleets of both sides continue to advance, this battle has completely turned into a melee and chaos!
Admiral Trench issued another order, "Starbase No. 4, release the space anchoring system! Enter the planetary synchronous orbit!!"

According to his instructions, Starbase No. 4 released its space anchoring system, and the entire Starbase was immediately captured by the huge gravity of the planet Rendili and began to fall into the planet's atmosphere. However, as the Starbase continued to fall, the Starbase, which was originally fixed in one place, now began to move along with the rotation of the planet Rendili.

According to the location of Starbase No. 10, in 6 minutes, the Starbase will enter the current battlefield. Then, dozens of barges will be used to tow the Starbase to temporarily maintain its orbit. At that time, under the towing of the barges, Starbase No. will have at least hours to cover the battlefield with all its firepower!
This was the final killer move he had prepared for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! As long as he could severely damage the Executor-class with the help of the interstellar base, then he would have a chance to continue the defense of the planet Rendili!

As for how much resources and cost will be needed to push this huge interstellar base back into outer space after that, that is not something that needs to be considered now.

At the same time, a burst of extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out on the battlefield! Then, countless beams of light shot out in all directions! Almost at the same time, dozens of warships of the Rendili Defense Fleet were hit by powerful firepower. The shield energy of these warships almost bottomed out instantly, and a piercing alarm sounded in the bridge.

The Executor Star Destroyer, which had been in the center of the fleet and had not participated in the battle with its full strength, finally took action!
The three Commander II-class Star Destroyers and the extremely terrifying Executor-class Super Star Destroyer are the real core of the Imperial fleet.

The more than 5000 twin-mounted XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons on the Executor Super Star Destroyer fired at the same time. Such terrible power almost destroyed the world!

Moreover, the reason why the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon has become the ancestral ship-borne weapon of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire is mainly because the firepower of this turbolaser cannon is adjusted according to the amount of energy provided. In other words, the same model of XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon has completely different power on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!

The warships of the Rendili Defense Fleet, which were hit by the salvo of the Executor Star Destroyer, suffered heavy losses! In just one salvo, five Victory II-class Star Destroyers, one Cole-class Battlecruiser, and one Martha-class Missile Heavy Cruiser were destroyed, and dozens of warships were severely damaged.

Admiral Trench had already anticipated the heavy blow from the super battleship.

An orange-red pulse laser pierced the sky and shone directly on the extremely powerful deflector shield of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Even the deflector shield, which was the energy supply of the Executor, produced a large amount of energy ripples in this attack.

Argonev-class starbase, number four!

This square super weapon platform is 15000 meters long on one side, and its volume is more than 10 times that of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! This terrifying defense facility finally cuts into the battlefield as the planet Rendili rotates!
Countless missiles and proton torpedoes were launched, countless turbolaser cannons were launched, countless gamma rays were launched! At the same time, there were also powerful pulse laser cannons installed on the four corners!

Attacks rained down on the Executor, and the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts nearby responded immediately and headed towards the star base.
