The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2306, The Lundili Raid (V)

Admiral Trench finally launched a counterattack!

The 10 Hell Angels-class battlecruisers rushed directly towards the Galactic Empire fleet without reason. Relying on their solid and heavy protection with electric heat armor, they attracted a lot of firepower. Under the command of the captains of each ship, they turned the ship sideways and fired crazily with the high-energy gamma-ray emitters on the side.

As the backbone of the fleet, the Cole-class battlecruisers are like a sea-stabilizing needle. The super-matter electromagnetic guns have a slow firing rate, but their conventional firepower is still strong. Although the conventional firepower of the Cole-class battlecruisers can no longer shake the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, it is still quite effective against the Victory II-class Star Destroyers behind the Imperial fleet formation.

And the Martha-class missile heavy cruisers fired missiles again and again. Each shot of the Fire Cloud series missiles will produce a large and deadly radiation cloud. Even if the Star Destroyer stays in the radiation cloud for a long time, the main armor belt will be eroded!

Of course, the most threatening one is the Disaster-class Battlecruiser. This kind of warship has dismantled its original weapon system and installed particle light spears instead, which can cause terrible destructive power!

If a Victory II-class Star Destroyer is hit head-on by a particle light spear, it will basically be destroyed by one shot and two shots, leaving them no chance at all.

This elite fleet is also the only trump card in Admiral Trench's hand, and the only force that can compete head-on with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

"All-out assault!" Admiral Trench clenched his six fists tightly and roared loudly in a rare way.

He is usually calm and composed, but this time the assault order he issued seemed to be venting. He was using such a roar to cover up his inner anxiety...

But now facing a dilemma, he must make a decision!

Now the Imperial Fleet is chasing the collapsed left wing, and more than 20 Victory II-class Star Destroyers of the left wing fleet have been destroyed. But the Imperial Fleet is still chasing and vowing to tear the left wing apart completely.

Admiral Trench immediately led the main fleet on the right wing to advance at full speed and launched an attack from the side and rear of the Imperial Fleet!

This attack was very decisive, and the Imperial Fleet did not seem to expect Admiral Trench to launch such a sharp attack for a while, and did not react for a while. Those Victory II-class Star Destroyers of the Imperial Fleet that fell behind the formation were immediately hit hard and destroyed in large numbers!

"Attack!" Admiral Trench hit the holographic star map hard with his pointer.

The Rendili Defense Fleet opened fire at full power. Not only that, after receiving the counterattack order, many of the warships on the left wing that were collapsing also quickly adjusted and launched a desperate counterattack. The left and right wings immediately formed a pincer attack on the Imperial Fleet!

Faced with such an emergency, the Imperial Fleet was immediately in chaos, and many warships were destroyed.

But...

"Not enough! Keep attacking!" Admiral Trench stared at the holographic star map.

On the battlefield, the more than 400 Imperial-class Star Destroyers were still as solid as a rock! The huge 1,600-meter-long ship body remained strong even after a large number of attacks.

And now, as the fleets of both sides continued to advance, the battle had completely turned into a melee and chaos!

Admiral Trench issued another order, "Starbase No. 4, release the space anchoring system! Enter the planetary synchronous orbit!!"

According to his order, Starbase No. 4 released the space anchoring system, and the entire starbase was immediately captured by the huge gravity of the planet Rendili and began to fall into the planet's atmosphere. However, as the starbase continued to fall, the starbase that was originally fixed in one place now began to move with the rotation of the planet Rendili.

According to the location of Starbase No. 4, in 10 minutes, the starbase will enter the current battlefield. Then dozens of barges will be used to tow the starbase to temporarily maintain its orbit. At that time, under the towing of the barge, Starbase No. 4 will have at least 6 hours to cover all firepower on this battlefield!

This is the last killer move he prepared for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! As long as we can inflict heavy damage to the Executor class with the help of the interstellar base, then there will be a chance to continue the defense of the Rendili planet!

As for how much resources and cost will be needed to push this huge interstellar base back into outer space, that is not something that needs to be considered now.

At the same time, a burst of extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out on the battlefield! Immediately afterwards, countless beams of light shot out in all directions! Almost at the same time, dozens of warships of the Rendili Defense Fleet were hit by powerful firepower. The shield energy of these warships almost bottomed out instantly, and a piercing alarm sounded in the bridge.

The Executor Star Destroyer, which has been in the center of the fleet and has not participated in the battle with all its strength, finally took action!

The three Commander II-class Star Destroyers and the extremely terrifying Executor-class Super Star Destroyer are the real core of the Imperial Fleet.

The more than 5,000 twin-mounted XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons on the Executor Super Star Destroyer fired at the same time, and such terrible power almost destroyed the world!

Moreover, the reason why the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon has become the ancestral ship-borne weapon of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire is mainly because the firepower of this turbolaser cannon is adjusted according to the amount of energy provided. In other words, the same model of XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon has completely different power on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!

The warships of the Rendili Defense Fleet, which were fired upon by the Executor Star Destroyer, suffered heavy losses! In just one salvo, five Victory II-class Star Destroyers, one Cole-class Battlecruiser, and one Martha-class Missile Heavy Cruiser were destroyed, and dozens of warships were severely damaged.

Admiral Trench had expected the heavy blow of the super battleship.

An orange-red pulse laser pierced the sky directly and shone directly on the extremely powerful deflector shield of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Even the energy supply of the Executor, the deflector shield also generated a large amount of energy ripples in this attack.

Argonev-class Starbase, No. 4!

This square super weapon platform, with a single side length of 15,000 meters, is more than 10 times the volume of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! This terrifying defense facility finally cut into the battlefield with the rotation of the Rendili planet!

Countless missiles and proton torpedoes were launched, countless turbolaser cannons were launched, and countless gamma rays were launched! At the same time, there were powerful pulse laser cannons installed on the four corners!

The rain of attacks fell on the Executor, and the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts next to it also responded immediately and headed towards the direction of the interstellar base.
