The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2311 Raid on Kira Planet (IV)
2312: Raid on Planet Kira (IV)

The communication was soon interrupted, and Michel Unser was terribly cold.

There is no doubt that the 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyers left on the planet Ennako are completely finished, but the question now is, how on earth could the other side destroy 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyers so quickly! ?
This is a 1600-meter-long Imperial-class Star Destroyer, not just any civilian ship found on the roadside!

The more critical question is, where did this main fleet of the Principality of Dawn come from? And where did the second Anchoron-class Titan battleship come from?
Just as the Principality of Dawn had a good understanding of the deployment of troops on the planets Fangduo and Kira, the Galactic Empire also had a relatively clear understanding of the deployment of troops on the planets Yago-Dur and Eriadu. Apart from anything else, at least the obvious intelligence about how many battleships there were was basically correct.

The number of battleships of the Principality of Dawn on Yago-Dur and Eriadu is about 600! This is absolutely correct! And their two Titan battleships are also in these two places, this is absolutely correct!

"General, is it possible... that this other main fleet came from the planet Yago-Dur?" The adjutant said in a low voice, somewhat hesitantly.

Michel Anser gnashed his teeth and said, "The Titan battleship and their main battleship from the planet Yago-Dur were just confirmed to have left the spaceport this morning! And in just half a day, they crossed half of the Milky Way and reached the planet Eriadu? This is impossible!"

"What if... it's a star gate?" the adjutant whispered.

Michel Anser clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling a little. The important reason why His Majesty the Emperor decided to declare war on the Principality of Dawn now has been announced to the senior commanders of the Imperial Army. That is because there is a high possibility that the Principality of Dawn is using stargate technology to expand its sphere of influence to unknown star regions. In order to prevent the rapid expansion of the Principality of Dawn's strength, he decided to declare war.

So, not only the unknown star field, but also the interior of the Principality of Dawn has been connected by the star gate? If this is true, then the fleet of the Principality of Dawn will gain unprecedented mobility!
But is this the time to think so much?

Michel Unser looked at the holographic star map in despair. With a flash of dazzling white light, a huge fleet broke away from the hyperspace channel and appeared behind the Galactic Empire fleet.

400 battleships and 1000 small and medium-sized warships!

At the forefront of this fleet is a huge battleship that is 9440 meters long and shaped like a "川" - the Ancolon-class Titan battleship!

In addition to this most conspicuous battleship, there are dozens of large battleships, including 10 3175-meter-long Archon-class aircraft carriers and 15 3820-meter-long, top-heavy large battleships of unknown model!

At the same time, there are 50 disaster-class battlecruisers behind this fleet. Although the appearance of these disaster-class battlecruisers seems to have changed slightly, they can still be clearly identified.

There is no doubt that compared with the fleet in front of them, which is mainly composed of Hell Angels-class battlecruisers, the fleet attacking from the rear is the real main fleet of the Principality of Dawn!
Attacked from both sides! The Galactic Empire fleet was suddenly in dire straits!
Because the main force of the Imperial Fleet, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, is designed to exert maximum firepower only when facing the enemy head-on, and when facing the enemy from the side, its firepower is only 30% of the normal level. As for the rear, except for a small number of close-in defense guns, there is no firepower output at all.

So now they are being attacked from both sides, no matter whether they are maneuvering to the left or right, or turning around to defend, it would be tantamount to destroying their own strength.

Michel Anser was sweating profusely. He finally issued what he thought was the most correct order, "Telegram to all ships, advance at full speed! Defeat the enemy in front as quickly as possible!" The Imperial Fleet did not change its formation, and still maintained the previous arrow-shaped assault formation, rushing towards the Principality of Dawn fleet in front!
As long as they keep charging, their fleet plus the N-1 fighter formation on Naboo will still be able to form a pincer attack on the Separatist fleet in front of them. This is what Michel Anser thought. Yes, there is still a chance!

But it was obvious that the fleet in front of him did not intend to give him this opportunity.

The fleet began to form a circular defense formation with the Hell Angels-class battlecruisers as the outer layer, and a large number of auxiliary ships including the Titan battleship Xuanwu in the center. The Star Child-class repair drone mothership and the Pioneer-class logistics cruiser provided repair support, the Dunov-class battlecruisers provided energy support, and the Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruisers also aimed their respective power destruction systems at the Executor-class Super Star Destroyers and Commander II-class dreadnoughts to weaken the firepower of these super battleships.

At the same time, the Titan battleship Xuanwu once again activated the fleet shield system, and all the surrounding battleships were once again covered by a light green light curtain. The large number of turbolaser beams fired by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer were almost all absorbed by this green energy shield!
"Attack! Attack! Our ship is advancing, firing at full force!" Michel Anser roared.

"General! Our energy system is being continuously interfered with, and the main gun power has dropped to 73%!" The console operator turned around and said loudly.

"Never mind all that! Fire! Fire!! Sink every ship you can! I'm going to show these separatist scum how powerful we are!" Michel Anser shouted.

However, before he finished speaking, a dazzling light shone from the corner of his eye. He turned back suddenly, only to find that dozens of beams of light had already shone on his fleet.

Particle Light Spear!

Michel Anser's first reaction at this moment was that he seemed to feel that there was something different about this particle light spear, but he didn't know what was wrong.

However, at this moment, the communication was in chaos!
"The Tykes' engines are badly damaged! We're losing power!"

"Shield! Shield is broken! Request support!"

"What happened?!" Michel Anser rushed to the sensor, grabbed the operator, and shouted, "This is impossible! Why can't even the Imperial class resist the particle light spear!?"

"The power of the particle lances... the opponent's particle lances have increased in power!" The operator replied in tears, "This volley has more than doubled the power of the particle lances recorded in the database!!"

The dazzling light shone over again, and Michel Unser knew what was wrong! Those "catastrophic" particle light spears were more dazzling than the particle light spears he had seen before. At the same time, they were completely different from the previous particle light spears that flashed and disappeared. This time, the particle light spears actually had an irradiation process that lasted about one second!
The second round of salvos! The voices calling for help in the communication were like a pot of boiling water again! His fleet had its back to the particle light spears, and faced with the attack of this light-speed ultra-long-range weapon, it had no defense at all!

There is no doubt that if this continues, the particle light spear with increased power will be able to completely destroy this side before destroying the frontal fleet!
"Turn! Turn! Get away from the battlefield from the side!" Michel Anser finally admitted defeat and gave the order to retreat.

However, at this time, those large warships that were 3820 meters long and looked top-heavy had already rushed up!
