821. The trapped beast still fights
For more than a month, Severance Tann almost tried her best to lead the Titan battleship Plague in the northern sector of the Galactic Republic, constantly throwing off the superior fleet of the Republic. They chased and intercepted them, and even killed them several times. With the terrifying firepower of the super super super super electromagnetic gun, they directly destroyed the main battleship of the Republic fleet, and then walked away.
But miracles cannot happen again and again. No matter how genius Severance Tann's commanding ability is, it cannot make up for this huge gap in strength.
What's more, strictly speaking, she was indeed tricked by Tang Xiao.
Because according to her combat strategy, she would rely on the planet Cato-Neimoidia, gather the fleets of the Trade Alliance, and attack everywhere in the core circle of the Republic, preventing the Republic from having the opportunity to assemble a large fleet.
Then continue to consolidate the defense of the planet Cato-Neimoidia, and even find opportunities to raid Balmoral-Neimoidia, establish contact with the larger Trade Federation fleet stationed there, and obtain more Results.
Finally, when the Republic was in dire straits, she would orchestrate a feint attack, ostensibly to raid the Republic's inner circle, but actually to send the Plague Titan battleship into a major hyperspace lane and then fly away.
But all this was disrupted!
The Trade Federation could not withstand the pressure from the Republic and asked the Titan battleship Plague to leave the planet Cato-Neimoidia. And Tang Xiao actually did not force the Trade Federation, but accepted this fact!
The Plague Titan battleship had to leave the planet Cato-Neimoidia, and it did so openly and in full view of the public without any strategic or tactical feints.
And just as the Plague left, the Republic fleet, which had already received the news, was already waiting outside the planet Cato-Neimoidia!
This is really a way to die.
Although the Governor of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunray, played a trick and hung thousands of Vulture robot fighters outside the Plague, this was not enough.
These thousands of fighter jets indeed covered the Plague and broke through the frontal defense of the Republic Fleet, but they were all lost in the battle. During the subsequent pursuit of the Republic Fleet, the Plague was completely alone.
Under such circumstances, Severance Tann could still persist for more than a month. It can only be said that she is a true genius.
Severance Tann was angry, complained, and even resisted more than once. During the few communication opportunities she had, she scolded Tang Xiao and scolded him for sending her to death.
But Tang Xiao just told him calmly, as a general, if you don't understand politics, then your maximum limit is Xiang Yu, and you don't know how you will die by then.
Severance Tann didn't know who Xiang Yu was, but she could understand what Tang Xiao meant.
Indeed, her reaction to the Trade Alliance was a good beginning, but not an end. Who can blame her? After she destroyed the 7th Squadron and cut off many routes in the core circle of the Republic, making the Republic fearful and at its peak, it should retreat in time.
Rather than being complacent, they raided the Nubian planet and fought head-on with the main force of the Republic's 2nd Army under the personal command of Master Windu.
As a result, it was precisely because of her behavior that not only the Trade Federation was in danger from the Republic Council, but the Plague was also in dire straits.
In this case, don't blame Tang Xiao for giving up on her.
The raid on the Cato-Neimoidia planet was originally a battle to bring the Trade Federation into the fold, but it ended up putting the Trade Federation in danger. In the end, Newt Gunray was able to give her a favor and load the Plague with vulture robot fighters. This must be considered a good result of Darth Malthael's diplomacy and coercion.
Thinking of this, Severance Tann also understood the fundamental problem of this series of battles.
Her command and tactics have never been problematic. But the problem lies in what's behind the fight. And the current desperate situation, as well as Tang Xiao's death order asking her to take the whole Plague back, is her chance to atone for her sins.
Darth Lilium came over. Unlike Severance Tann, who was in a mess, her clothes were neat, but under the neat clothes, there were countless hideous scars.
She also risked her life to fight, piloting a fighter jet to fight to the death with the Republic's pursuers. She was shot down twice, but luckily she saved her life each time.
This is also due to the fact that the elite Viking fighters are strong enough to withstand beatings.
But now the two elite Viking fighters have been destroyed as she was shot down twice. There are only 7 ghost fighters parked in the hangar of the Plague that can fly.
But the expression on Darth Lilim's face was extremely relaxed, "It doesn't matter, if you want to fight, then fight. It is the greatest honor of my life to die for my master's great cause."
As she spoke, her face was almost filled with holy light.
"It should be 2 to 4 hours before the Republic fleet arrives. Notify all officers and men on the ship to seize this last opportunity, eat something, and have a simple sleep. Then... let's face the final battle!! Put all the remaining food and supplies Send them all out!" Severance Tann made up her mind and said sternly.
"yes!!"
"Fight to the end!"
"I am a natural disaster!!"
The officers and soldiers of the Navy of the Fourth Civilization on the bridge stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly in unison.
Bang! ! Severance Tann punched the console with a fierce gaze, but then she swayed weakly, looked at Darth Lilim and said, "I'll take a nap."
Then he fell into his seat and fell asleep almost immediately.
…
The piercing alarm of the hyperspace detector sounded, and a large-scale hyperspace jump has been detected!
All the officers and soldiers on the Plague were in their respective positions. They were all determined to die and vowed to live and die with the Plague! Even if he dies, he will tear off a bloody piece of flesh from the Galactic Republic!
The Plague is equipped with more than 5,000 officers and soldiers. There are no robots. They are all naval soldiers of the Fourth Civilization. After all the battles, there are still more than 3,000 people left, and every one of them is ready to fight to the death. Prepare!
The white light before the battleship left hyperspace kept shining, and then, a huge fleet of 80 battleships appeared here! !
Among these battleships, there are only 5 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and the others are all small and medium-sized battleships such as Aquintens-class light cruisers, CR-70 frigates, and Karak-class cruisers. But it is no longer a force that the current Plague can resist!
"Fighters take off!"
"The main gun is charged! 10 seconds countdown and ready to fire!"
"Lower the front shield!"
The Plague immediately entered combat mode.
However, at this moment, a subtle white light suddenly flashed, and a Delta-7 fighter jet appeared on the battlefield, and then rushed directly towards the Republic fleet!
