2403. The Death of Mal-Touk (Part )
Luminara Anduri breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "The supply of this fleet is a big problem now. We should first abandon the planet Palansi and return to the planet Bilbrin. We can consider it again after the supply line is completely opened up."
"If that's the case, then this opportunity is wasted!" Mal-Tuk's expression darkened. "The entire army will return to the planet Palansi, complete the supply as much as possible, and then march eastward to attack the planet Arkania!!"
"Akania? The mining planet?" Luminara-Anduri was stunned.
Obviously, Mal-Tuk would not give up the existing victory and withdraw his troops. But he did not continue to pursue Thrawn's fleet, nor did he risk going deep into the heart of the Empire and attacking the planet Boreas to open up a passage to the planet Scipio, the financial center of the Empire.
Instead, he chose the planet Arkania, which seemed like a compromise.
"This may still be a bit risky," said Luminara-Anduri.
"No! This is the most reliable plan at the moment!" Mal-Tuk said loudly, "Thrawn's fleet is well-supplied, but the repair equipment provided by those temporary military bases is not enough to truly repair his damaged warships! In other words, his fleet is not in good condition, and he still does not have the ability to fight me head-on!"
He turned his head sharply, looked at Luminara Anduri and said viciously: "Doesn't Thrawn want to attack my supply? Then, I will solve the supply problem here!"
He raised his hand and poked hard at the location of the planet Arkania on the holographic star map. "If I capture Arkania, I will get the rare metals they have stored, and I can also use the factories on the planet to prepare warships! Moreover, there are a large number of mining ships and transport ships on this planet, so there must be a lot of core elements and sublight fuel stored there!"
"But Thrawn's fleet will still threaten our rear," said Luminara Anduri.
"That's right! I want to force him to fight me!" Admiral Mal-Tuk waved his fist fiercely and shouted angrily, "The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for me! If he drags it out for another ten days or half a month, maybe we will really have no choice but to retreat! But now, my fleet still has the advantage!"
Luminara Anduri looked at the furious Mal-Tuk, wanting to say something but stopping herself. From her current position, she had said everything she should and shouldn't say, and she had no reason to stop Mal-Tuk from making a decision, after all, they were just a cooperative relationship.
……
On February 10, 2 BBY, Mal-Tuk led the Commercial Fleet to withdraw and prepare to return to the planet Palansi.
However, before the army set out, bad news arrived!
The planet Palansi was attacked by the Galactic Empire fleet. The remaining fleet encountered the superior Imperial fleet and could only fight and retreat. Then the Imperial warships took advantage of the retreat of the remaining fleet to destroy several spaceports and space stations, and countless supplies that were finally transported from the planet Bilbrin were destroyed!
Mal-Tuk then realized that Vice Admiral Thrawn had also divided his troops! And he divided his troops very cleverly, leaving behind all the damaged warships and repairing them as much as possible, and also leaving behind most of the small and medium-sized warships.
In this way, most of Thrawn's fleet is composed of battleships with high self-sustaining power, which can be easily commanded to accompany Mal-Tuk in circles. The damaged warships left behind can get more time to repair, and those small and medium-sized warships can continue to harass the planet Palansi because of their mobility advantage.
As a result, the damaged warships had nearly a month and a half to repair and have recovered most of their combat effectiveness. Now, these warships and the small and medium-sized warships joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the planet Palansi! The fleet left by Mal-Tuk was not strong enough, and the Imperial fleet finally succeeded. This also completely ruined his plan to return to the planet Palansi for supplies and then attack the planet Akania in the best condition!
On February 2, the main force of the Commercial Combined Fleet returned to the planet Palansi. Looking at the devastated outer orbit of the planet, Mal-Tuk could no longer suppress his anger. He cursed loudly on his bridge and smashed everything that could be smashed.
Then he gave a decisive order to attack the planet Akania immediately!
Luminara Anduri finally couldn't stand it anymore, and she and Mal-Tuk had a fierce quarrel, but the end result was that Mal-Tuk called the guards in a rage and used dozens of black gun muzzles to tell this respected Jedi Knight not to meddle in other people's business.
Of course, Mal-Tuk did not make this decision completely out of his mind. According to the simulations and discussions between him and the tactical robots, the current strength of his fleet would make it easy to capture Arkania. So as long as they captured Arkania and obtained supplies, they could indeed force the Imperial Fleet to fight him.
Next, as long as he destroyed the Galactic Empire’s mobile fleet, he could calmly return to the planet Palansi and reopen the supply channel.
The reconnaissance plane sent to the planet Arkania also confirmed this - the planet Arkania was not evacuated, there were still a large number of transport ships and mining ships operating on the planet, the warehouses were full, the factories were running at full capacity, and the scene was bustling.
On February 2, after a brief repair and receiving a batch of supplies from the planet Bilbrin, Admiral Mal-Tuk led the entire fleet and marched eastward, heading straight for the planet Arkania!
That's right, the entire fleet! He doesn't want the planet Palansi anymore! Anyway, as long as he can annihilate the Imperial Mobile Fleet, this planet will be his sooner or later.
Moreover, the planet Palansi could not be saved in the first place. Because during this period, even though the Commercial Fleet was retreating, Thrawn's fleet was like a ghost, following behind the Commercial Fleet like a shadow, keeping a certain distance but not engaging in battle or contact.
Instead of doing that, it’s better to just go all in!
On February 2, the Commercial Alliance Fleet entered the planet Arkania in three waves. Admiral Mal-Tuk did not launch an attack immediately, but waited patiently for half a day. After all the warships arrived, he carefully reorganized the fleet.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
On February 2, at a command from Mal-Tuk, the Commercial Combined Fleet, consisting of one super aircraft carrier, 22 battlecruisers, 1 heavy cruisers, and 50 small and medium-sized warships, launched an attack on the planet Arkania!
The defense fleet outside the planet Arkania was simply vulnerable. It was defeated by the concentrated bombardment of the Yamato guns of the first wave of Minotaur-class heavy cruisers. 14 light cruisers and 2 heavy cruisers were sunk, and the remaining warships entered the planet's atmosphere to take shelter.
However, when Mal-Tuk was about to send out the Marines to land on the planet Arkania, a light blue curtain of light suddenly covered the entire planet!
Planetary shield!! And it looks like a very advanced planetary shield!!
"This is impossible! Arkania didn't even have a planetary shield installed before!" Mal-Tuk saw this and yelled, "How could such a mineral planet have a planetary shield installed?!"
……
At the same time, Vice Admiral Thrawn, who had just recaptured the planet Palansi, smiled with satisfaction, "That's right... Admiral Mal-Tuk. Attacking the planet Arkania is the only decision you can make. Do you like my gift?"
