The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2359: Roundabout Attack
2360: Roundabout Attack

"Geth! The Geth fleet appears behind us!!!" the radar soldier shouted almost at the top of his lungs.

In fact, he didn't need to shout, because Gilad Perrine had already seen this terrible scene from the holographic combat star map - more than 2000 Geth warships, accompanied by a distortion of space, suddenly appeared at the back of the battlefield.

That's right, right behind the Imperial Fleet!

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, from the two sides being evenly matched to the Imperial Fleet being attacked from both sides!
You know, with the firepower layout of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, including the Victory II-class Star Destroyers, the weakest point of these warships is the rear!

Compared to the Revelation-class battleships, Hell's Angels-class, Aiken-class, and Doomsday-class battlecruisers on the Dawn Kingdom's side that can fire from the side, as well as the Cole-class and Dunov-class battlecruisers whose overall structure is cylindrical and whose turrets can rotate to hit the Cole-class and Dunov-class battlecruisers behind them, these battleships are naturally not too worried about being attacked from the front and back.

But the battleships of the Galactic Empire, or the Kuat Power Dockyard, are basically triangular cone-shaped. Their huge buttocks are not only fragile engines, but also block the shooting angle of the front turrets. It is equivalent to their most vulnerable place and also a blind spot for firepower.

If it was an opponent we faced before, we would have no problem relying on the powerful frontal firepower of the Star Destroyer. But now, with the continuous advancement of the Kingdom of Dawn's technology, various means of movement have begun to appear, and it is not impossible to directly strike the rear of the fleet.

Just like now...

The sensor operator turned back and reported: "General! The Geth fleet is traveling at warp speed!"

"It's impossible for warp speed to appear so accurately directly behind our formation!!" Gilad Perrine slammed the table and said harshly.

Warp speed travel is a means of faster-than-light travel, but it is very difficult to accurately locate it. Generally speaking, it can only locate roughly, so as not to rush into a star. This is actually similar to hyperspace jumping. Tactical hyperspace jumping has been a problem that the Galactic Empire has not been able to solve so far.

But now, the Geth warships did it right under their noses!!

The Geth fleet was already crippled, with more than 10000 ships at first, but nearly 6000 of them were sunk in the first battle on the hyperspace channel to Anxin. The remaining 4000 ships were also lost in the battle on Anxin, and now they only have more than 2000 ships left.

The size of the Geth warships is too different from that of the Imperial Star Destroyers, and their threat to the Imperial Star Destroyers is already very limited. So even if they did not participate in the battle this time, Gilad Pellaeon was not surprised. Because if it were a human crew, after experiencing two tragic losses of more than half of the crew, their morale would have collapsed long ago. It is because the Geth, as mechanical life forms, can launch attacks again and again without fear of death, but even so, their warships are already in tatters and need repair.

Unless there are a large number of Geth warships, there will be enough threat, or...

Attack from front and back!!
"Retreat! Don't fight to the end! Preserve the fleet's strength as much as possible!" Gilad Perrine immediately gave the order, "The fleet will turn immediately and destroy the Geth fleet first!"

…At this moment, in a geth dreadnought that was magnified to more than 900 meters in length, a geth individual came over with a glass of juice in his hand. He came to an elderly woman wearing a very loose black robe and said in a very polite electronic voice: "The voyage has ended. We have arrived at the tactical position. Master Luminara Anduri."

Luminara-Anduri, who was meditating, opened her eyes and looked at the Geth individual in front of her. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Because she understood that what stood before her was the super-killing machine that had caused countless massacres in the northern part of the galaxy, resulting in the extinction of the Yamri people and the loss of the homes of the Kel-Doer people (Plo-Koon's race). In addition, there were at least dozens of races that had disappeared!
However, standing in front of the Geth, one could not sense any violence from them. Everything they did was just carried out step by step. What to do and what not to do were all determined very precisely. Perhaps when they planned to massacre the city and turned millions of people into zombies, they also planned to do it in this way.

Even for this precise warp speed voyage, Geth was so considerate that he prepared a 900-meter-long dreadnought just for her, installed a life support system for her alone, and stockpiled food and drinks, and even had a circle of fragrant green plants next to her meditation table!
Luminara Anduri closed her eyes and took another deep breath. She knew that she had to suppress the discomfort and cooperate with the Geth and the Kingdom of Dawn for the time being. Only then could she gain an opportunity for the new Jedi Order to grow and develop.

Moreover, Luminara Anduri was very supportive of the fight against the Galactic Empire. She had seen all the exploitation and oppression of the Galactic Empire in the Central and Outer Rim star regions. In comparison, the policies of the Kingdom of Dawn were much better.

As long as it doesn't have anything to do with Geth.

She stood up, took the juice from the Geth individual and drank it all, allowing her body and mind, which were a little tired from the continuous guidance of warp navigation, to recover a little. Then she said coldly: "Get my fighter ready, and then act according to the battle plan. Destroy the fleet of the Galactic Empire!"

“We have prepared your ETA-2 fighter, Master Luminara Unduli,” the geth said, leading her toward the elevator.

……

At the same time, the news that the Geth fleet had planned to bypass the Imperial fleet directly by warp speed also reached Mal-Tuk, commander-in-chief of the Commercial Fleet.

"The time has come. Now the Imperial Fleet is completely in my hands!" Mal-Tuk raised his hand and slowly grasped it, as if he was holding the Imperial Fleet. His expression was a little ferocious at this moment. "Then, let's harvest! Win this battle and win the glorious victory for me!!"

He turned around suddenly and said to the T-series tactical robot, "Call those two Jedi Knights over."

"Roger!"

"No need, we are always paying attention to the battle situation." A handsome but extremely cold voice came from behind Mal-Tuk.

Mal-Tuk turned around with a gloomy face, his disgust for the Jedi Knights was clearly visible on his face. He looked at the two young men in their 20s behind him and said coldly: "Since you have seen it, then move! If you want to cooperate with us, you must show your sincerity!"
