Chapter 1243: Total Annihilation (I spend every day sleeping on my bike)

  For Nute Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Federation, this will be a day he will never forget!

"Everything is ready. Now it's up to you, General Grievous!"

  Looking at the robot general in front of him, Newt Gunray's green face was about to turn red with excitement!

Finally I have waited for this day!!

As we all know, the first battle of the Inquisition was to establish its authority with the Trade Union. From that time on, Nyut Gunray vowed to be irreconcilable with the Inquisition. You must know that the battle not only brought great losses to the Trade Union, but also made Nyut Gunray, as the Governor, lose face. If it had not gritted its teeth and insisted, and paid a lot of price, it might not have been able to be the Governor!

  Can this be tolerated?

It's strange that I can endure it!!

Now that he finally had such an opportunity, Nute Gunray naturally tried his best. Although General Grievous's operation was very whimsical, it had a high probability of winning. It just required the cooperation of the fleet of the entire Independent Federation.

After all, although the Galactic Republic has now contracted its defense, there are still many galaxies. This time, General Grievous wants to make a full-scale attack. In fact, his plan is not difficult to understand. It is to disperse the fleet of the entire Independent Federation to every galaxy battle line. If there is an Inquisition fleet in that galaxy, they will fight to the death and make sure to entangle them. If there is no Inquisition fleet in that galaxy, then they will directly send troops to invade the planet and start a ground war.

After dropping the ground troops, the fleet will not stay to defend, but will continue to move forward!

The reason why General Grievous did this was simple. The troops on the ground were either there to win the battle or to take the locals as hostages. In addition, they were all robot armies, so if they were lost, they were lost. They were not living people. The death of a group or two was not something that was unacceptable.

Therefore, it was meaningless to leave the warships behind for air defense. After all, the warships of the Inquisition were too powerful, and the possibility of winning in a head-on confrontation was really close to zero. In this case, leaving the warships behind would only serve as targets for the enemy. It would be better to use this galaxy as a springboard and speed up to the next galaxy.

In General Grievous' plan, the best case scenario is to use this springboard tactic and kill all the way to Coruscant!

Of course, there is a very important part of this plan, that is, each fleet must have the strength of a main fleet. After all, although General Grievous is a robot, he does not have the ability to tell fortunes, and does not know in which star system the Inquisition's fleet will appear.

  Therefore, there is no way to set up any bait, so it is necessary to ensure that each fleet has enough firepower to kill Coruscant, so as to maximize the power of this tactic!

Naturally, Newt Gunray also made great efforts for this and sent out all the warships of the Independent Federation to be commanded by General Grievous. Although the leaders of other forces in the Independent Federation felt that it was a bit inappropriate, they finally nodded in agreement.

After all, if we win, it will be a one-time solution. We can directly occupy Coruscant and rule the entire Galactic Republic!

  Isn't this a gamble?

As for losing?

What a joke! There is no way they can lose! General Grievous's genius plan amazed even them. There is no way they can lose! They can only win!

"The rise and fall of the Federation depends on this battle. I wish you good luck in military affairs!"

  Looking at General Grievous in front of him, Newt Gunray spoke excitedly. Although it was true that the battle plan was proposed by General Grievous, it was he who approved the plan against all objections. In other words, he and General Grievous would record their deeds in history forever!

"Yes!"

Facing Newt Gunray's blessing, General Grievous nodded seriously, then turned off the communication, then turned around and looked in front of him - in front of the bridge, General Grievous saw an almost endless fleet of warships, and this was the strength of the Independent Federation!

"Has the destination been locked?"

"Yes, General, we have locked onto Tatooine! We are ready to go anytime!"

"very good."

Hearing the answer from his subordinates, General Griffith nodded. As the commander-in-chief, he would of course go to the most dangerous place. In General Griffith's opinion, the most dangerous battlefield is Tatooine, after all, it is very likely that it is the headquarters of the Inquisition!

  Therefore, it has to go there in person and lead the fleet to fight a life-and-death battle with the Inquisition!

General Griffith coughed and stared at the star map in front of him again. At this moment, all the fleets were ready, waiting for his order, and they would set off to other galaxies at the same time to launch a full-scale attack!

So General Griffith raised his hand and waved it forward!

"set off!"

Following General Griffith's order, the next moment, the stars on the screen in front of everyone's eyes immediately stretched out into rays of light. This was the sign that the fleet was taking off. Next, they would jump through hyperspace to Tatooine, and then fight a decisive battle with the Inquisition fleet there!

"All warships ready."

General Griffith was also nervous and serious, and kept issuing orders to other warships. They had to attack Tatooine with all their might and as soon as they arrived there, they would go straight to the enemy!

"Remember, follow the original plan. When we arrive at Tatooine..."

"——————!"

  However, before General Griffith could finish his words, suddenly, the entire battleship trembled violently, and then the starlight that had turned into beams of light in front of him quickly disappeared. Seeing this scene, General Griffith was also shocked, because this marked the end of the hyperspace jump and they were pulled out!

But how is that possible? According to the time calculation, we haven't reached the destination yet?!

However, before General Griffith could react, suddenly, a huge shadow appeared, and then General Griffith saw a huge battleship facing him sideways. The black muzzle of the gun was like the eyes of the god of death, staring at him!

"Inquisition... How could this happen? We haven't even reached Tatooine yet? Why, why is the Inquisition here? What is this place!?"

  At this moment, General Griffith almost collapsed. He couldn't figure out what was going on! !

Compared to General Griffith, Duanmu Huai was much calmer. He even gave a thumbs up to Acot who was standing in front of the command desk.

"Well done."

"Thank you, thank you uncle..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's praise, Aikote's face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head.

General Griffith had no idea that the strategy he had come up with had been thought of by Aikotte a long time ago. She had reported this to Duanmu Huai a long time ago. That is, what should be done if the enemy adopts a comprehensive strategy to induce the Inquisition fleet to run around.

In fact, Duanmu Huai had no idea at first, but then he suddenly remembered a method that players often used in the game.

  Earth bomb tactics!

In the game, the standard means of movement for the player's warship is subspace navigation.

But many players are actually not very happy to use this trick.

The reason is very simple. Once you enter the subspace, there is a chance that you will be corrupted by the subspace. Even if you come out safely, a lot of your crew members may die. Of course, it would be fine if only ordinary crew members died, but if a lot of important NPCs died, wouldn't you cry?

  Also, when players are fighting, everyone is even more reluctant to use the warp navigation. At that time, it was agreed that you would be surrounded from both sides and attacked from the front and back, but when you arrive at the destination, a few warships corroded by the warp will spit out from behind you. That's not an attack from the front and back, it's a wolves in front and a tiger behind!

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, many players are actually unwilling to use subspace navigation.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai tried his best to create a webway after he discovered that he could do so.

He hated warp travel, too.

Of course, the webway technique is not useless, but it is easy to be surrounded by the opponent when using the webway in a player-to-player battle. After all, the webway is a bit like a high-speed train, with fixed routes. If the player knows where you are going, they just need to squat near the target location, and you will be killed if you come out.

However, players also have a trick. They got inspiration from the navigation method of the Tyranids and adopted this hyperspace navigation method. This has basically become a common navigation method used by many players on a daily basis.

On the one hand, although hyperspace travel is not as fast as warp travel, it is safer. Because not every player is qualified to enter the webway in the game, they must complete a series of tasks to obtain the beacon of the Eldar or the Old Ones. It is relatively troublesome, and if you are not careful, you may have to deal with the dark Eldar and other weirdos, which is very annoying. Therefore, many single-player players do not have this way, so as a second choice, choosing the second-level hyperspace travel is also a good choice.

After all, although hyperspace travel is hyperspace, it does not enter the subspace and there is no danger of being corrupted. Even if the speed is not as fast as subspace travel, it is at least safe!

The homemade bomb tactic is used to deal with these unfortunate children.

Well, to be precise, the people who first invented this tactic were actually a group of bandit players.

As the name implies, it is a robbery. Here, we need to explain the characteristics of hyperspace travel. In the final analysis, hyperspace travel is to find a gravitational channel between two massive stars, and then use the gravitational properties to enter hyperspace and travel from one planet to another. The technology of the Galactic Republic in this star field is also of this type.

Then these players came up with a solution.

  That is - as long as we put a large mass object within this distance, can't we stop the opponent directly?

It’s like a person walking on a mountain path, and suddenly a person emerges from the bushes beside him and says, “This mountain is mine, and these trees are planted by me.” Wouldn’t you have to stop?

Wouldn't you have crashed into it if you hadn't stopped?

Of course, strictly speaking, it was not a collision, but the sudden appearance of a supermassive object forcibly pulled the other party out of the hyperspace channel. However, this is no different from stopping the other party.

So that's what these players do.

First, they would lay a large field of mines in the middle of a route between the two planets - this would actually be useless, because hyperspace travel would not affect small mass objects, so mines would have no effect in it.

However, the next step is the key point, that is, when the other party takes off, a large warship will suddenly jump over and appear in the center of the route. As long as the mass of this warship is greater than that of the warship that takes off, it will pull the latter out of the hyperspace channel and send it directly back to the real universe.

At this time, the dense minefield came in handy.

Who could have thought that you would be walking along the path just fine and suddenly jump out of a hyperspace channel, and then be surrounded by mines from all directions?

The unlucky ones were blown up directly, while the luckier ones were surrounded and dared not move, and then they were attacked by the robbers.

Of course, this tactic was not considered high-end at first, but later, when facing the invasion of the Tyranid swarm, the earth bomb tactic showed its effect.

But relatively speaking, it is more convenient to directly blow up the massive planets at the destination so that they can never reach the station.

Duanmu Huai was not a bandit, but this tactic did work when fighting the Tyranid swarm. In addition, the technology of this star field also focused on hyperspace travel, so he thought it should be of some use, and thus talked to Aikote about it.

  And Aikotte was worthy of being a genius military strategist at level 3. Duanmu Huai only gave a rough account based on his own impression. She went to consult Lumiaire and others, and immediately understood what to do, and quickly formulated her own corresponding plan!

In fact, General Griffith had no idea that his plan had actually been completely uncovered by Lumiaire's invasion of the Independent Federation's network from the very beginning. So the next step was simple. He just had to find out the galaxies that those warships were going to, and then lay a large area of ​​mines between the departure galaxy and the target galaxy. Then, when the opponent's fleet took off, his own warships would jump out of the webway at the same time, and use the huge mass of the Inquisition warships to pull the Independent Federation fleet out of the hyperspace channel. Once they returned to the real universe, what awaited them would be countless mine bombardments!

As for the quality issue, Duanmu Huai was not worried at all. The Inquisition was committed to building huge ships and cannons. The largest warship in this star field was only 3000 meters long. In the fleet of the Inquisition, it was not even as good as a light cruiser, and was only slightly larger than a destroyer. How could the other party compare their heavy cruisers with their own in terms of quality?

In addition, because Lumiel had hacked into the Independent Federation's network, the latter's targets and routes had long been exposed, so what Aikote had to do next was to deploy a large mine array in the middle of these routes, and then place a few cruisers and battleships in the network, waiting for the other party to take off and then appear directly! In this way, although the Inquisition only had a few hundred warships, it would have no problem completely blocking the Independent Federation's routes.

  Just like now!

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

With Ecott's cowardly and sinister nature, the minefield was laid out in three layers inside and outside, with the main purpose of attacking people with trypophobia, and they would not stop until they blew you to pieces. When General Grievous' fleet rushed out of hyperspace, they ran head-on into the dense minefield. For a moment, there were explosions and flames everywhere, and the warships of the Independent Federation were torn and shattered in the explosions, and then a bigger explosion broke out!

“How could this happen? Why is this happening………!”

General Griffith was already numb at this moment. He certainly understood what was going on, but he could not understand why the other party was able to lock onto his route!

Well, in fact, let alone sailing, when General Griffith was counting down, Lumière even adjusted the time for several warships to prevent them from setting off slowly.

"Report immediately......"

General Griffith hurriedly tried to give orders and report the situation to the rear, but before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang" and the entire control console exploded, and the battleship bridge in front of him also exploded. The next moment, General Griffith was sucked into the vacuum.

In a moment, driven by the detonated mines, the warships turned into fireworks. Duanmu Huai sat in the chair, staring at the screen in front of him, while Aikote looked at the command desk nervously. After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report to uncle, all the independent federation fleets have been completely destroyed."

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly..."

After hearing Ecot's report, Mary couldn't help but sigh, and the other girls beside her also had complicated expressions. After all, they had all seen Lumielle's reconnaissance and knew how many warships the Independent Federation had dispatched to launch the offensive this time. It could be said that the Independent Federation had put all its resources on the line.

And in less than a minute, they were all destroyed?

Although I have made all the preparations on my side, but... this is too fast.

Thinking of this, the girls looked at Ecott with somewhat complicated eyes. Ecott herself had no fighting ability, and her timid personality gave people a feeling of being harmless. So in the eyes of others, Ecott was not the kind of person who could destroy so many warships in an instant... You know, if it were the other people, they would never be able to do this.

"Amazing, Ecot..."

"Eh? No, it's not that I'm so good."

Hearing An's sigh, Aikote quickly waved her hand with a blushing face.

"It was mainly my uncle's idea. I was just responsible for the implementation."

"Only you can implement it. To be honest, I don't quite understand the operation myself."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands. He had only seen some players use it this way, but he couldn't do it himself. Although this strategy seemed simple, the key was to get the timing right. After all, it usually took only a dozen seconds to get from one galaxy to another. If you caught it too late, people would run over and waste it. If you caught it too early, the fluctuation of mass gravity would arouse the opponent's vigilance.

Therefore, you must wait until the moment the other party arrives before taking action in order to achieve the greatest effect.

Duanmu Huai doesn't have this ability, only Aikote and Lumiaire can do it.

"Anyway, well done, Ecot."

"Ah, thank you uncle..."

"You are welcome."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and looked at Liumier.

"Notify Palpatine. I have finished my work. Now it is his turn to perform."
