Chapter 2355: The Defeat of Anselm (Part )

2356. The Defeat of Anselm (Part )
Admiral Gilad Perrine thought for a long time, then turned to his adjutant and said, "Order all ships to retreat immediately and return to the planet Gler-Anselm for repairs and preparations for battle!"

"General, aren't we going to attack?" asked the adjutant.

In fact, in the eyes of many naval officers, although the separatist warships have strong combat effectiveness, they will definitely be the winner in the end!

Because they are controlling powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyers! Not only on Anxin Planet now, but also on the rear planet of Gler-Anselm, there are more than 200 Star Destroyers coming to reinforce here.

Their fleet had just won a bloody battle with 10000 geth warships not long ago. The overwhelming force of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers against the geth ships boosted everyone's morale.

Now they are taking advantage of their victory to attack the planet Anxin. The battle has just started and their reinforcements have not yet arrived. Even though the Separatist fleet has shown unexpectedly strong combat effectiveness, the officers of the Imperial Navy do not think they will lose.

There are indeed not many people who can make accurate judgments after a brief exchange of fire.

"The number of Separatist reinforcements is unknown, and we have been fighting for a whole day and need to rest. We should retreat to the planet Gler-Anselm, recuperate, and then have a decisive battle with the Separatists." Gilad Pellaeon did not want to explain too much, but just waved his hand and made the final decision.

"Yes!" The adjutant nodded angrily, then went back to give orders.

Admiral Gilad Pellaeon shook his head. He knew that even retreating to Gler-Anselm was not a very safe option. In fact, the best option was to return to the defense line of Bilbrin, and then send a small fleet to harass the separatists. After confirming the size of the opponent's forces and strategic intentions, he could decide whether to launch a fleet decisive battle.

However, withdrawing to the planet Bilbrin was unacceptable not only to Dunn Wessex, but also to the officers and soldiers at all levels in his own fleet.

Gilad Peraune was originally hated by many people because he became an admiral at the young age of 40, but he relied on his numerous military exploits to consolidate his position. However, if he was afraid before fighting the enemy's main force after once winning a victory, his position in the army would also suffer a devastating blow.

Therefore, even on the battlefield, the decisions made by commanders will often be affected by factors outside the battlefield. This is definitely not something that a third party can rashly evaluate from a God's perspective.

Taking a step back and retreating to the planet Gler-Anselm for rest and recuperation is the best choice Girard Pellaeon can make at the moment.

At this moment, as the planet revolved, the distance between the two fleets had widened to about 10 light minutes, which was beyond the maximum effective range of their weapons. The Imperial Fleet began to turn and retreat, and was not blocked by the Commercial Fleet.

On September 9, the Imperial Fleet returned to Gler-Anselm and occupied the planet's spaceport to rest and resupply. Gilad Pellaeon ordered his men to bring Gler-Anselm's Governor Dalsana over and said coldly, "Now because of the war, our army needs to requisition Gler-Anselm's spaceport facilities and all material resources. I hope you will cooperate. After the battle, you can go to the Imperial Treasury with my warrant to claim reimbursement."

Darsana grovelled and said, "Of course, of course. Please give me a communicator and I will arrange this matter immediately. All the facilities on the planet Gler-Anselm belong to the Empire."

Other captured senior planetary officials also expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Things went smoothly. Although Gler-Anselm was not an industrial planet, it was built by the Interstellar Banking Association according to the standards of a wealth planet. The planet had abundant spaceports and various material reserves. Dalsana quickly arranged to transport all the materials needed by the Imperial Fleet.

Supermatter fuel rods, food, medicine, replacement parts, and even some core elements! Seeing this, Gilad Peraune cursed in his heart. You know, core elements are controlled by the Galactic Empire and are one of the few things that can surpass the technological level of the Kingdom of Dawn. Now they can be found on the planet Gler-Anselm? !
This clearly shows that there are quite a few parasites within the empire!

The planet Geller-Anselm also dispatched engineering ships to assist in repairing the damaged warships, but Girard-Pellaeon only arranged for them to help weld the detached main armor belts and did not allow them to touch any electronic equipment.

However, this busy rest period did not last long. Just one day later, amid the alarm of the hyperspace detector, bursts of dazzling white light flashed, and densely packed warships appeared at a distance of 60 light minutes outside the planet Gler-Anselm!
Mal-Tuk's main fleet has finally arrived from the Chiss Territory. After completing the assembly, it launched an attack on the planet Gler-Anselm!

His fleet had now joined forces with the Mararian Alliance's defense fleet, and the number of battleships had increased to 250. At the same time, there were more than 200 new warships that could only be considered heavy cruisers, but whose firepower was close to that of battleships, and more than 5500 light cruisers and frigates!

Gilad-Pellaeon's fleet includes 700 battleships, including 400 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 250 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, and about 50 Imperial II-class, Victory I-class Star Destroyers, and Pursuer-class aircraft carriers. In addition, there are 10 Vindicator-class heavy cruisers, 90 small and medium-sized warships, mainly Arquitects-class light cruisers, Vigilante-class, Marauder-class, and CR-2000 frigates.

The combined number of fleets on both sides was close to 10,000 warships! Although they were mainly small and medium-sized warships, the scale of this battle was completely unprecedented!
With a fleet of this size, all conspiracies and tricks are useless, there is only a confrontation of iron and fire!

As before, Admiral Mal-Tuk arranged his fleet into a claw-shaped array and launched attacks from four directions! Gilad Pellaeon commanded the fleet to defend the spaceport in outer space of the planet Gler-Anselm and formed a defensive formation to meet the attack.

Nearly ten thousand warships, countless turbolaser beams, missiles, lasers, and hypermatter electromagnetic cannons almost ignited the entire universe!

The flames of the explosion never stopped for a moment. The wreckage of the destroyed warship kept rolling under the push of the explosion, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

The originally peaceful and tranquil tourist planet Gler-Anselm is now completely surrounded by war!
