175. Uninvited guests
Marastal Fjord.
In this battlefield, the wreckage of the battleship is already floating everywhere, broken parts, broken hulls, cold limbs, and twisted corpses, all floating in this cold and dead universe.
However, if you look carefully, you will see that most of the wreckage floating in the universe are Republic fleet spacecraft, Consul-class cruisers, Republic-class shuttles, PB-950 gunboats...
Most of the mutilated corpses were wearing the gray military uniforms of the Galactic Republic Navy. On their chests, the gear-shaped Republic emblem had been scorched black by the flames.
But the fierce battle continued. Hundreds of large and small spaceships surrounded the remnants of the Republic fleet. However, they seemed to have some scruples. They just stayed out of range, and from time to time they broke into small groups and rushed into them to blast randomly and then returned. formation.
There are only more than 50 spacecraft left in the Republic fleet, including 10 Consul-class cruisers, more than 20 Republic-class shuttles, and more than 20 PB-950 gunboats. In the previous battles, the weak PB-950 gunboats were shot down the most. This kind of gunboats could not even defeat the Phantom fighters in a one-on-one firefight.
However, their backbone still exists - the Lord Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser!
This 600-meter-long behemoth has extremely powerful firepower. It is equipped with a total of 20 quadruple laser cannons, 10 turbolaser cannons, and 10 single-mounted heavy laser cannons. When firing a salvo of firepower, it looks like a hedgehog.
The Enterprise Alliance's mercenary fleet conducted a charge under the command of Admiral Trench, and 20 ships were destroyed in almost 3 minutes. Although the main ones that were destroyed were the broken ships of the Sicudia pirates, it still gave a great shock to the participants of the mercenary fleet.
The fleets of the Bloody Dawn and White Worm organizations cowered away. Tang Xiao also told Admiral Trench very tactfully that it was best not to push the Republic too hard, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult. What happens next , should be left to the people at the negotiating table.
Admiral Trench was also helpless, although according to his command style, it should be directly involved from multiple directions at the same time, so that the firepower of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser could be dispersed, and then the superior firepower could be concentrated to destroy it directly.
But he also knew that the current situation was impossible, because according to the firepower configuration of the mercenary fleet, the task of involving the firepower of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser would definitely fall on the more mobile Fourth Group Fleet and the Bloody Dawn Fleet. The final general attack The task should be handed over to the Enterprise Alliance fleet with five fantail-class destroyers.
But if this is the case, it will inevitably give the Fourth Group and Bloody Dawn some bad excuses. Originally, everyone is here to make money, but you insist on letting them take the lead and die, and then your own fleet is still hiding behind, waiting to collect people. Does this make sense?
Admiral Trench is not the kind of person with zero emotional intelligence, but he is also unfair in his heart. He believed that if the fleet configurations were exchanged, if his fleet were high-speed battleships and the Fourth Group's fleet were heavy-fire battleships, he would lead the battle and let the Fourth Group take the lead. The problem is that others don’t believe it!
As a result, the situation could only remain in a stalemate, and Trench could only organize small teams to conduct assaults intermittently and kill several Republic spaceships. Then wait until the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser loses the cover of other spacecraft, and then focus all your efforts to destroy it.
But this takes time.
The only thing to blame is the arrival of large capital ships like the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, which is simply a dimension-reducing blow to those pirates and mercenaries!
However, at this moment,
Tang Xiao was in the bridge, and suddenly he felt something. He suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction, with a ferocious expression on his face.
There was a visceral feeling of disgust in his heart, like a fly covered in shit flying around him, buzz... buzz... ah, sorry, it's a group of flies surrounding him!
Buzz~~~buzz~~~buzz~~~buzz~~~~
Tang Xiao just wanted to grab the fly, squeeze its belly, pull out its intestines, strangle its neck and pull hard~~~~Ah, the whole tongue came out! Then he raised the knife and dropped it with a click!
Finally feel relieved...
That's what it feels like.
But Tang Xiao still forcibly suppressed his inner impulse, and the dark side force in his body immediately became calm, without any trace of it being noticeable. This was also the first lesson his master Darth Plagueis taught him - to hide yourself.
At the same time, a sudden siren sounded, and three fighter jets with hyperspace rings broke away from hyperspace navigation and appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
Tang Xiao turned back to the radar soldier and said, "Enlarge the optical image to see who is coming?"
The holographic projections of these three fighter jets appeared on the screen. They were three flat triangular fighter jets, fixed in a ring-shaped device by slots. This ring is a hyperspace ring, itself a hyperspace engine that can carry fighter jets for hyperspace jumps.
A technician turned back and said: "The database comparison is completed, there are three Delta-6 fighter jets!"
Tang Xiao frowned, "It looks like the Jedi are here."
The Delta-6 fighter is an advanced fighter produced by Kuat Power Shipyard. This series of fighters is known for its excellent performance and high cost, and is often used by Jedi Knights.
Before the development of the more advanced Delta-7 is completed, the emergence of the Delta-6 fighter jet is basically equivalent to announcing the arrival of the Jedi. Because the military of the Galactic Republic does not have much military spending, it will not order such expensive fighter jets at all.
Sure enough, a moment later, information was accessed from the public channel, and a middle-aged human woman wearing a robe appeared in the holographic projection.
"I'm Cap-Ae, and I'm here on behalf of the Jedi Order." The middle-aged woman said slowly.
Tang Xiao waved his hand to the commander Igor Zavalov on the side, indicating not to connect to the channel, but to just listen.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... A Jedi Master, what are you doing here? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench connected to the communication and asked directly.
"The Jedi Order hopes that the Enterprise Alliance can lift the blockade of Malastar Planet and return to the negotiating table. The losses caused by the Enterprise Alliance to the Republic Fleet will be calculated separately." Cape-Xi said lightly.
Admiral Trench sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Is there a Republic fleet here? No, there are only mercenaries here who were recruited by the Malastar planet to resist, tsk tsk tsk tsk. Excuse me, is the Republic fleet here?" Where? Where is the document that the Galactic Council agreed to send troops to intervene? Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
