The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2111. Dark Star (middle)

"What is this?" Tang Xiao suddenly felt angry at being fooled!

He immediately opened the communication and connected to the battleship where the two high-level templars were located. He roared angrily, "You! Who is being controlled?!? Why is there a fleet here?!"

I can only see this fleet vividly in the optical sensor.

The shapes of these battleships are all cross-shaped when viewed from the front, and they are all painted with a special coating. This makes this fleet almost impossible to see clearly with the naked eye when it is in the shadow of the planet.

Although the battleships of the Principality of Dawn can still be seen clearly with detectors, at least this shape can bring a great sense of oppression to those races with less developed technology.

And what’s even more shocking is the number of this fleet!

Because there are more than two thousand warships gathered here! ! These battleships have a unified shape and there are five models in total.

The smallest one is a frigate about 90 meters long. These frigates seem to be fire support models because they are all arranged at the rear of the formation. There are approximately more than 500 ships.

Then there is a light cruiser with a length of about 250 meters, with the largest number, about 1,000.

A heavy cruiser with a length of about 500 meters, about 400 in number. A 700-meter-long warship with more than 100 ships.

Finally, there are 20 battleships with a length of 1100 meters, which should be the largest battleships of Grisk Hegemony.

Tang Xiao was furious at this moment, because the attack on Abella's planet was completely a goal that he changed on a whim. But when he came here, he found that he had been ambushed!

This could only mean someone leaked the news! Even the Torgt Brood didn't know about this, so the person who leaked the news was between the two high-ranking Templars and himself!

"It's impossible to be controlled," Rasdian said. "I think it's more likely that the Grisk people interfered with your previous judgment in some way..."

"Shut up!" Tang Xiao became angry and interrupted Rasdian's words.

Because he suddenly discovered that rather than being controlled by the two high-level Templars, he himself was interfered by the will of the powerful Grisk, and thus made an unexpected choice. This possibility was indeed the greatest. .

"Organize a battle immediately!" Tang Xiao waved his hand, and he gradually calmed down and thought about countermeasures.

The current situation is undoubtedly the worst. In addition to the absolutely superior strength of Grisk Hegemony, the bigger problem lies in the formation.

Don’t forget, this is in the unknown star territory. Although there are some hyperspace channels here, they are just like the name "Tangle" given to this place by astronomers. They are so intricate that it is almost impossible to find any channel that can survive stably for more than a week.

Each jump therefore requires long calculations and ideally requires navigation by a Force-sensitive person.

Even so, the hyperspace navigation of a large-scale fleet, after leaving hyperspace, will present the situation of Tang Xiao and his fleet - chaotic and disorganized.

The 10 battleships and hundreds of cargo ships were in a mess. Not to mention their formation, these spaceships didn't even have a unified orientation! For example, the Hell's Angel-class battlecruiser that Rasdian and the others were on had its butt facing the planet, and the battleship was turning as fast as possible.

Of course, the Rookery Hook-class battleship that Tang Xiao was on was fine. It was a donut anyway, facing the same direction no matter where it was.

At this moment, the fleet of Grisk Hegemony launched a surprise attack! Naturally, they couldn't give up such a great opportunity.

Tang Xiao's donut was immediately hit by hundreds of laser beams, and a piercing alarm sounded from the shield system.

High-ranking templar Rasdian and Rosales also immediately jumped into the battle. They began to direct all battleships to move forward to meet the enemy as much as possible, while the cargo ships retreated as much as possible.

But the second half of the order was completely in vain, because those cargo ships had been destroyed in large numbers, and there was no possibility of escape!

On the battlefield, countless thick laser beams flashed continuously, and the battleships of Grisk Hegemony fired recklessly, not even intending to give Tang Xiao and the others a chance!

"Don't worry about those cargo ships!" Tang Xiao said sternly, "Reorganize your formation, fight your way out and leave here immediately!"

The situation of encountering Grisk's hegemonic and superior fleet was expected. He only brought so many warships over, and he didn't really want to have a fleet battle in the first place. Because the most basic conditions for fighting this decisive battle are not met - you have no idea where the enemy is.

His purpose is very clear, which is to use the power of the Torgt swarm to force out the true strength of Grisk's hegemony, and then make plans whether to continue to advance or to retreat and make new plans. Therefore, the Hell's Angels and Coles that Tang Xiao brought were all rough-skinned and fleshy.

Now his goal has actually been achieved, and Grisk Hegemony has indeed dispatched its main fleet. Judging from the size of this fleet, it is almost the limit that the Unknown Star Territory can bear - due to the problem of poor traffic in the hyperspace channel, it is difficult for the Unknown Star Territory to support a fleet that spreads thousands or tens of thousands. A huge industrial system in a galaxy.

But the only problem now is that the battlefield is wrong!

In the original plan, they were the ones who took the initiative to attack, and the battlefield should be theirs to choose. If the main fleet of the Grisk Hegemony wanted to attack them, they could only wait for them to show up and start attacking a planet before coming to intercept them. The battle situation at this time was the same as the last small-scale raid. Tang Xiao, who was waiting for the opportunity, had a great tactical advantage.

However, he never expected that such a battle plan known only to three people would be leaked, and then be ambushed by the Grisk Hegemony!

The original force was absolutely inferior, and now they were ambushed, and the formation was scattered. The current situation was extremely dangerous. Because if they were wiped out here, everything would be nonsense!

Fortunately, the combat literacy of the two Protoss high-level Templars was very high. They decisively and happily threw all the cargo ships full of Torgat bugs out as meat shields, and then focused on letting their ten warships reorganize their formation.

Although there is a hundred-fold difference in military strength now, the level of warships of the Principality of Dawn far exceeds that of the Unknown Star Domain, including the Grisk Hegemony. Therefore, with two Hell Angel-class battlecruisers as the vanguard, if a rapid counterattack is launched, it is possible to tear open the enemy's encirclement and buy enough time for their navigators to recalculate the hyperspace channel and then evacuate.

Although the situation is very critical, there is a way to break the deadlock.

However, at this moment, Tang Xiao suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned his head suddenly and looked at the distant void.
