The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

781. Matt Horner's Brain Hole

In just three days, the number of mercenaries hired to come to the battlefield in Fermos, the capital of the planet Terminus, has exceeded 10,000.

And most of these people also brought their own spaceships, which further enhanced the Galactic Republic's air superiority.

Of course, just to hire these people, the Galactic Republic paid close to 50 million credits.

The attack launched by the robot legion of the Fourth Civilization in the western suburbs was finally defeated. With the reinforcements of these mercenaries, the army of the Galactic Republic began to have an advantage even in terms of numbers.

More than 20,000 robots were destroyed on the battlefield in the western suburbs.

After sending off this batch of robot armies, the ground battlefield of the Fourth Civilization fell silent, and no further offensives were launched.

In fact, the series of offensives by the Fourth Civilization made the Galactic Republic itself feel very uncomfortable. When fighting the Fourth Civilization Army, the clone army's battle damage ratio is also incomparable with other battlefields.

Now that the opponent has finally stopped, the Republic has also seized the time to transport supplies and soldiers, repair the spaceship and equipment, and prepare for the next wave of offensive.

In fact, the fourth civilization is indeed preparing for the next wave of offensive.

Three days ago, Matt Horner submitted his next action plan, and asked the scientific research department to take out the prototypes of the two new warships currently under study and make some modifications.

His application embarrassed the scientific research department. In the end, there was no way to make a decision, so he submitted this request to Tang Xiao, because this application might delay the research and development of new warships for at least half a year.

Nonsense, the prototype ship was taken away by you, what shall we use to test it?

After seeing Matt Horner's plan, Tang Xiao couldn't help scolding even a Sith Lord, madman.

But he still agreed to Matt Horner's request, because when he saw the plan, he couldn't help but associate the plan with a special force in his mind.

Hmm... that troop from Halo.

Although there is no money to make that stuff now, it should be possible to find some substitutes.

Regarding this, he can only say that Matt Horner was really driven into a hurry, and his brains were not at all inferior to Severance Tann, who is one of the best players in the Milky Way today.

And to put it another way, the scientific research department of the Fourth Civilization has recently been conquering three new types of warships. As long as it doesn't affect the other two that Tang Xiao particularly values, Matt Horner can do whatever he wants. within the acceptable range. And what Matt Horner likes is really the one that Tang Xiao doesn't care about.

...

Time moves to 22BBY, October 13th.

Matt Horner finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time-two prototypes of new warships that had been refitted, and the news from the Hutt Oruba Gorensla.

When the large battleship left the hyperspace channel, the flashing white light lit up, and then two flat and ugly warships flew over.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these two warships are ugly.

This kind of battleship is 1350 meters long and 540 meters wide. There is no protruding superstructure on the entire battleship, and it is completely a flat plate. What must be said is that five large modular bays are installed on both sides of the battleship.

If no one explained, then this warship would probably be thought to be used for coal digging on the spot.

Of course, this warship from the Urgent Traders Alliance in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire" was indeed refitted from a cargo ship. It is also because of this that the scientific research team of the Fourth Civilization developed this kind of warship, mainly because the research and development work is simple, and it can also try to see if it can bring some new tactics to the navy.

At least the kind that can scare the Republic.

The Corsev Battlecruiser (Corsev Battlecruiser) is the name of this type of battleship.

This is a battlecruiser for battlefield support. This kind of battleship does not use artillery or fighter jets for support, but the Marine Corps.

That's right, it's a gang fight!

The ten large modular pods on the battleship are actually used to launch assault spacecraft filled with marines. This assault spacecraft can accelerate to an extremely fast level in a short distance, and a high-power laser welding torch is installed in front of the spacecraft, which can be used to cut the hull armor. It is also equipped with pressure-increasing equipment to stabilize the atmospheric pressure inside and outside.

The Kessoff-class battlecruiser is to wait until the shield of the opponent's battleship is destroyed, then launch an assault spaceship to allow a large number of marines to board the enemy ship, and eliminate the resistance of the enemy ship from the inside. If you are lucky, you may be able to capture Opponent's battleship.

There are two main reasons why the Fourth Civilization research team thinks this tactic is useful. The first is that the resistant steel armor used by the Galactic Republic warships is really strong. In almost every space war, many Republic warships are only wounded. If it is not destroyed, if it cannot gain a decisive advantage in the battle, the Republic Fleet will often retreat with a large number of wounded warships.

Then it was pulled back and overhauled for a month, and it was a good guy again.

And the second problem is that there are a huge number of combat robots in the entire Confederation of Independent Galaxies, but they lack enough carrying power to allow these robots to exert their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies on any planet will throw in 100 million combat robots, and your mere hundreds of thousands of clone soldiers and laxly armed local defense forces will fight slowly.

What's more, these combat robots have no way to play a role in space battles.

And the Kesoff-class battlecruisers are the battleships that allow these combat robots to play a role in space battles-it would be great to turn space battles into land battles. This is the same as the battle between ancient Rome and Carthage. Since the Romans can't beat Carthage in a sea battle, then use the crow warship to directly join the Carthage to fight a land battle.

So sometimes history will always be reproduced in a unique way.

The scientific research team of Fourth Civilization developed the Kessoff-class battlecruiser to verify the feasibility of this tactic.

But Matt Horner wanted these two Kesoff-class battleships, but he didn't intend to do so.

After everything was in place, Matt Horner finally gave the order to attack with all his might!

"Assault by the whole army! After this battle, the planet Terminus will be trapped! If you fail, you will die! I am a disaster!!" Matt Horner stood upright in the middle of the bridge, roaring loudly with all his strength.

All the battleships gathered here by the Fourth Civilization were launched, launching another full-scale attack on the Galactic Republic fleet!
