The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1593. Reinforcements

When Gilad Pellaeon arrived at the Phaeida galaxy with his Second Squadron of the Seventh Army, which was reinforced and strengthened by Wilhof Tarkin, what he saw was a tragic scene.

The battle has spread to the vicinity of the spaceport located in the outer orbit of the planet. In that piece of space, there are wreckage of warships everywhere. But even so, the battle still hasn't stopped!

A large group of Republic fighters attacked frantically, besieging the Geth warships. Fighter formations braved the dense anti-aircraft fire of the Geth warships and rushed to launch proton torpedoes and concussion missiles.

The anti-aircraft firepower used by geth battleships is X-ray turrets. The laser emitted by this turret is almost invisible in the spectrum, so from a distance, it seems that only laser beams and missiles fired by Republic fighter jets are around the geth battleships, but in fact , Every battleship is surrounded by a net of death!

As for the remaining warships of the Republic, there are only 3 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 4 Aquatens-class light cruisers, and more than 10 small battleships. These battleships can only linger around the spaceport, and the number of Geth battleships has reached more than 30. If the fighter formations were not still fighting, these warships would have been wiped out long ago.

"The whole army advances at full speed! Assault! Destroy all Geth warships!" Standing in the bridge of a Knight-class Star Destroyer as the flagship, a general in his 40s issued an order.

Woolf Ularen, Admiral of the Galactic Republic.

After the planet Kamino suffered a surprise attack and suffered heavy losses, Golf Yularen, who commanded the Republic fleet during this battle, was temporarily hidden, and he was not allowed to command any battles. Although he did not take the blame for the failure of the battle, the behavior of Xuezang was actually an expression of dissatisfaction with his command by the Supreme Strategic Command.

But this time, Wilhof Tarkin asked the Supreme Strategic Command to use Woolf Yularen again, and he would lead the fleet to reinforce the planet Phaeida.

After all, Gilad Pellaeon is only a colonel at present, and even this colonel was entrusted by General Eureka before his death, and he was promoted from major to an exception. Naturally, he is not qualified to command this huge fleet with 60 warships.

"General Yularen, I suggest that we should attack immediately, mainly to drive away, and repel the Geth fleet as soon as possible! Saving people is the most important thing, we need to stabilize our position first." Gilad Perrine said.

"I agree. Send an order, let the ships focus on driving away, not chasing them." Wulf Yularen nodded and said.

Before leaving, Wilhof Tarkin specifically entrusted Wulf Ularen to listen to Gilad Perrine's opinions as much as possible, implying that this promising young people mean.

Woolf-Ularen has been in the political arena and the army for many years, so he naturally knows what Tarkin means. Now he also needs this battle to prove himself again, so he has no airs and accepts Pellaeon's suggestion humbly.

After this huge fleet including 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers came over, the Geth fleet also quickly began to retreat, heading towards the second satellite of the planet Phaeida. The battle also temporarily came to an end.

The haggard face of Lieutenant General Henderson appeared on the communication screen. He gave a military salute and said, "This is Lieutenant General Henderson of the Republic Navy, belonging to the Ninth Army of the Republic. Thank you for your reinforcements... If you come a few hours later, maybe the entire planet of Phaeida will fall."

Woolf Yularen returned a salute, "This is the Second Squadron of the Fourth Army of the Republic, I am Admiral Wulf Yularen, and this is my adjutant, Colonel Gilad Perrine .Master Wilhuff Tarkin has sent us for reinforcements."

He is now leading the fleet of the Fourth Army, and Gilad-Pellaeon has also been temporarily transferred to Tarkin's command, so they are currently subordinate to the Fourth Army, which is unmistakable.

Lieutenant General Henderson took an extra look at the young man standing next to Woolf Yularen. Generally speaking, the self-introductions of the commanders of both sides would not include their adjutants. Admiral Yularen said, Then there must be a purpose, at least it also shows that this young man has an extraordinary background.

"How's the situation here?" Gilad Perrine couldn't wait any longer and asked eagerly.

Lieutenant General Henderson shook his head and said: "It's very bad. There are injuries on the ground battlefield, and the flames of war have already burned to the capital of the planet, Chinesti City. The clone army I brought suffered heavy losses. It is already difficult to hold the front line. It can delay time. And here... as you can see, the Geth reinforcement fleet keeps appearing, and we are powerless to resist."

Admiral Wulf-Ularen frowned, "It stands to reason that the planet Phaeida doesn't have a big hyperspace channel, and this place is also within the jurisdiction of the Republic. Geth suddenly attacked here, it doesn't make sense for our hyperspace There is no response from the space outpost? Is what you said true?" He looked back at Gilad Perrine.

"It's true, our hyperspace outposts can't know the movement of the geth fleet, and the hyperspace blockers we set up have no effect. We don't know where their warships come from..." Henderson The lieutenant general shook his head, "Letting them continue to invest in reinforcements like this, we can only passively fall into a situation where the two sides exchange war losses, and this situation is extremely unfavorable to us."

Gilad-Pellaeon said: "Now we must make operational judgments based on the premise that the geth has mastered a new way of traveling faster than the speed of light. But now we must first complete the arming operation, especially the ground battlefield! Fieda The planet must not be lost!"

"Another means of traveling faster than the speed of light?" Lieutenant General Henderson was shocked by this statement.

"Let's talk about this in the next step. I have already applied to the scientific research department of the Republic to send physicists to study our situation. But for now, we still need to deal with the most urgent thing—how many clone troops are there on the planet Feida? "Girard Pellaeon was not polite at all. He immediately devoted himself to the command of this battle, unaware that his words and deeds were actually against Wulf Yularen who was standing next to him. , is a serious overreach.

But Woolf-Yularen is not a person who will stick to such things, especially Governor Tarkin said hello, so he didn't say much.

Lieutenant General Henderson saw that Admiral Yularen did not make a statement, so he acquiesced that this young man also has the same authority, so he explained: "We have brought a total of 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships and 120 transport ships. , transported a total of 80,000 clone soldiers, as well as supporting armored vehicles and various supplies. However, it is difficult for us to guarantee air supremacy in the planet's atmosphere, so less than a quarter of the heavy armored vehicles can be sent down. And the clone soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and there should be less than half of their troops left to use."

"Then where are the supply and armored transport fleets now?" Gilad Perrine frowned.

"After the battle broke out, I saw the geth coming so fiercely that I told them to retreat to the planet Kotharis," Henderson said.

Gilad Pellaeon's face changed, "No way! We must immediately divide our forces to reinforce Kotaris!"
