836. Violent reaction
The light blue proton clouds produced when the proton torpedo explodes are like flowers blooming in the dark universe, one by one, dozens, hundreds, one by one, thousands of flowers.
These beautiful flowers contain destructive power. After the proton cloud explodes, it collapses, absorbing all surrounding matter and energy to a single point, and then suddenly explodes, the volume instantly expands a million times, releasing Extremely terrifying energy.
The Z-95 Headhunter fighter jet has always been a favored model by the Republic's judicial fleet and bounty hunters because of its stable and reliable performance. This is a heavy-duty fighter aircraft with excellent bomb load, firepower and maneuverability, so it remains popular in the market for a long time.
Only after the full-scale war broke out, this multi-functional fighter was replaced by the more targeted V-19 Torrent light fighter and ARC-170 heavy fighter. Because the Z-95 was not as good as the V-19 in aerial dogfights and not as good as the ARC-170 in terms of firepower, it began to withdraw from the war stage.
But it doesn't mean that the Z-95 has no threat to current warships and fighter planes!
But now, 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets rushed out of the hangar platform of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser and instantly fired at least 3,000 proton torpedoes at the Republic fleet, which was less than a thousand kilometers away!
The Galactic Republic's warships were firing on all cylinders, and the close-in defense system opened a barrage around the warships. Countless lasers intertwined into webs of death, intercepting and shooting down the proton torpedoes one by one.
The proton torpedo that broke through the defense exploded on the shield of the Republic battleship. Light blue proton clouds flashed continuously, and the shield rippled like water waves.
But this was just the beginning. The 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets were not dead. The pilots of the Fourth Civilization, who were already ready to go, immediately swooped towards the Republic battleship. They pressed the button and unleashed blasting laser cannons. Sprinkle it on those behemoths as well.
The Republic's fighter group was on its way to attack the Separatist fleet. When they saw their warships being attacked, they responded immediately and turned around to provide emergency reinforcements.
But the 300 ghost fighters that took off from the Gray Horse-class escort aircraft carrier had already arrived. They turned on the stealth system, and a flash of lightning flashed across, and the fighters disappeared without a trace. Then in the empty void, hundreds of Geminis were empty. The missile suddenly appeared and shot straight towards the Republic's fighter jets.
At the same time as the fierce air battle broke out, Severance Tann gave an order, and all the warships of the Fourth Civilization turned again and fired fiercely at the Republic warships!
And their target is very clear, all firepower is aimed at the Jaeger-class battlecruiser in the Republic formation.
As long as these Jaegers can be killed, the Republic's fighter group will become rootless and can be manipulated at will.
Severance Tann's Plague Titan battleship also began to turn, using the turbolaser cannon on the side of the battleship to fire continuously. After all, the Titan battleship is a Titan battleship. Even if it is hit hard now, the combat power it unleashes is far stronger than other battleships.
The Plague no longer had its shield, but it was still indestructible with its thick armor.
In fact, strictly speaking, even with these 1,440 Z-95 fighter jets, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization is still only in balance with the Republic Fleet, but the current formation of both sides is an extremely unfavorable factor for the Republic Fleet.
Gu Bo
Each of the Republic's warships is being besieged by hundreds of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets. The close-in defense system is focused on one thing and not the other. Their fighter jets are also intercepted by ghost fighters, and they can only fight and retreat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the battleships of the Fourth Civilization poured their maximum firepower on the heads of the Galactic Republic battleships without any scruples.
…
While the two sides faced each other and started fighting in the direction of the Blade Fleet, the news of the reappearance of this lost fleet also caused a sensation among the top leaders of the Galactic Republic, the Confederation of Independent Systems, and the Fourth Civilization.
The news was classified as top secret, and reactions began immediately.
After receiving the notification from Severance Tann, Tang Xiao immediately mobilized the fleet to go to the Seriya system. The mobile fleet of the Fourth Civilization is now stretched thin, but he made a prompt decision and immediately asked Admiral Trench who was on the planet Christophsis to come to the Dawn Planet and lead Fleet C to defend the Dawn Planet.
Admiral Trench brought 10 Cole-class battlecruisers, 5 Martha-class heavy missile cruisers and 5 Sova-class aircraft carriers. At the same time, he also asked the Gran people on the Golden Rock Planet to send a marine force in three ships. A Rookery Hook-class battleship set off.
The Dawn Planet is different from the core corporate giants of the Federation of Independent Systems such as the Trade Alliance. They do not just collect money from their subordinate planets. Tang Xiao will give these planets the opportunity to directly participate in the war to reduce their war taxes.
For this, many planets can only dream of it.
Compared with corporate giants like Newt Gunray who just want a country with supreme privileges so that they can make more money, Tang Xiao's ambitions are much greater. What he wants is to build a diversified and powerful Empire, making money, is just an incidental thing.
After receiving the call from the Fourth Civilization, the Granites immediately organized an army of 300,000 people without saying a word, and set off on three Rookery Hook-class battleships to gather on the planet Seriya.
Tang Xiao took the initiative to tell him about Count Dooku, and he just informed him. After all, if such a big thing was concealed, Count Dooku might think that Dawn Planet was trying to do something wrong.
Count Dooku was only surprised by the news about the Blade Fleet. After all, 200 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were not enough to have a decisive impact on the battle situation and would not make him greedy. As long as he can make the Galactic Republic shed more blood, he is more than happy.
So under the instructions of Count Dooku, General Grievous once again reorganized the fleet, assembled on the planet Antar, and made a gesture of preparing to break into the Republic's central interest to attract the Republic's defense fleet.
The Galactic Republic is also deploying troops. In view of the location of the Blade Fleet, the important task of recapturing this fleet has been placed in the hands of Octavian, the Governor of the 20th Army of the Republic.
Octavian was very decisive in his work. He immediately organized the fleet to go south, and despite the strong opposition of the Given people, he violently destroyed the hyperspace blocker set by the Given people and attacked Harm via their home planet Yago-Dur. galaxy.
The Givens were furious, accusing Octavian of ignoring their declaration of neutrality, and made a fuss in the Galactic Senate, demanding that Governor Octavian be summoned back to Coruscant to stand trial.
But their quarrel did not last long, because when Octavian's fleet passed by the Yago-Dur planet, an inadvertent scan found a very strong reaction behind the shadow of the satellite of the Yago-Dur system!
This reaction shows that the Given people are manufacturing warships on a large scale in the Yago-Dur system! !
