The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

997. The numbers in this chapter are terrible.

"Separatist fleet? What are their plans!" The commander of the Republic was also shocked, "Wait a minute, do they want to surprise us?"

He responded immediately, "Order! Immediately get the defenders of the planetary shield generator ready for battle! Surrounding troops rush to help immediately! Concentrate all forces to defend the planetary shield generator! Also, what is the current situation in Karina Crater?"

A staff officer hurriedly sent an inquiry, and then said solemnly: "The defense line on the top of the mountain has been breached. Now the geothermal power station in Karina crater is shutting down urgently to prevent the separatists from causing more damage through the geothermal power station."

"That is to say, backup energy is already being used around the planetary shield generator..." the commander of the Republic said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back. And issue instructions to troops stationed around the world, let them rush to help!"

"This is equivalent to giving up defense in other directions? What if the separatists attack our production area or spaceport?" The staff officer asked in a daze.

"The planetary shield generator has always been the ultimate goal of Lingliang! Once the planetary shield is destroyed, the separatist fleet can directly attack our ground targets. This satellite will no longer be owned by the Republic..." Commander Said with a serious face.

"But their fleet is now on the move."

"This is exactly what I'm confused about, because their fleet is destined to not achieve any results. Why do they take the initiative to attack at this time?" The commander groaned while stroking the beard on his chin.

But at this time, a message came from the communication soldier...

"General, we can't contact the defenders on the planetary shield generator..."

The commander of the Republic seemed to be poured from head to toe in a bucket of ice water, and his whole body was almost stiff, "You...what did you say?"

"We... lost contact with the defenders of the planetary shield generator!" The communications soldier said loudly with a mournful face.

The commander lost his footing and almost fell, so he hurriedly propped himself up on the table, "This is impossible! When? How did you do it? We are monitoring all the troops that the separatists landed! What happened?"

...

At the same time, in the Eriadu galaxy, the No. 4 star-Eriadu planet.

A burst of white light flashed, 100 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 5 Martha-class missile heavy cruisers, 10 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, 10 Dunov-class battlecruisers and 3 A huge fleet of Rukrihook-class battleships suddenly appeared in the outer space of the planet Eliadu!

Short distance hyperspace jump!

For interstellar battles, this action is equivalent to a face-to-face decisive battle with the enemy!

Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, who is in command of the administrative center of the planet Eliadu, immediately ordered the defensive fleet to fight! And the orbital defense systems on the planet Eliadu and the satellites are fully fired! All fighters take off at once!

The defense fleet of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic has a total of more than 300 ships, and the huge orbital defense cannon on the planet has also begun to fire! Dense fighter jets took off from the hangar, like locusts pounced on this super-large fleet commanded by Severance Tann himself!

Only the fighter formation on the Eriadu satellite, which was said to be dealing with the separatist ground forces, did not take off to participate in the battle.

However, when the huge fleets of the two sides began to exchange fire, Tarkin was surprised to find that Severance Tann did not want to fight her own fleet as she had shown.

The huge fleet of the Fourth Civilization directly set up a defensive formation!

With the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser as the outer circle, the powerful Cole-class battlecruiser as long-distance fire support, and the Martha-class missile heavy cruiser as mobile defense, laying deadly missile barrages at the tightest places on the front line.

Although the fleet of the Galactic Republic has more warships, most of them are small spaceships. Facing such an array of iron barrels, there is nothing they can do in a short time.

For a while, in the outer orbit of the planet Eliadu, the fleets and fighter jets of both sides were entangled, and countless lasers, blast energy beams, and missiles flew around almost every second. The entire battlefield spanned tens of thousands of kilometers. That area is safe!

In the command center, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin smashed the precious crystal wine glass in his hand, and cursed: "What the hell is Severance Tann doing? Show me her fleet for nothing!" Is it? No..."

His eagle-like eyes stared intently at the holographic star map, "You're trying to attack satellites... The satellite's ground battlefield is constantly failing, and the planetary shield has been under a lot of pressure! But General Robertson told me that he was on the planet An army of 100,000 is deployed around the shield generator! It shouldn't be like this...Let Robertson report to me immediately!"

"yes!!"

While the communicator went to convey the order, Wilhof Tarkin was still looking at the battlefield, "It's too early...it doesn't make sense...it's too early...it's not right!!"

He suddenly became alert and said loudly: "All fleets shrink their formation immediately! Get out of the range of satellites! Execute immediately!!"

"Your Excellency the Governor! What happened?" the Chief of Staff hurriedly asked.

"Immediately carry out the order!" Tarkin roared.

All Galactic Republic fleets immediately stopped their forward offensive, began to rearrange their formation, and retreated towards their defense platform on Planet Eliadu.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Wilhuff Tarkin's forehead, and he crossed his hands to support his chin, "It's too close... Our fleet is too close to the satellite! Since the beginning of the war, Severance Tann has been Using a defensive formation to mobilize our fleet's actions...she is luring the enemy to go deep!"

"Luring the enemy deep? This is..." The chief of staff couldn't keep up with Tarkin's thinking.

"The satellite has fallen! Reorganize the defenses! Retreat!" Tarkin ordered again.

"Your Excellency, this..." The chief of staff hadn't finished speaking, and there were sudden changes on the battlefield!

The orbital defense system on the Eliadu satellite suddenly turned its muzzle and fired at the fleet of the Galactic Republic! !

Wilhof Tarkin's foresight saved the Republic fleet, the satellite's orbital defense system only shot down a dozen Republic warships and severely damaged a Jaeger-class battlecruiser, and the Republic fleet was not spawned by this raid confusion.

They began to retreat in an organized manner, returning to the defense of the planet Eliadu.

However, at this moment, Severance Tann, who was in command of the flagship Chaos Rookeryhook-class battleship, waved his hand and said loudly: "Attack with all your strength! Destroy them!!"

The powerful fleet of the Fourth Civilization immediately changed its formation, from a defensive circular formation to a claw-shaped formation, and rushed towards the Republic fleet from all directions! !

Severance Tann looked in the direction of the satellite with her scarlet eyes, and said slowly: "This time, it's a good thing that this group of army mud legs did, Ling Liang. So, you should obediently follow Those mud legs are mixed together, don't get involved in my affairs."

During the Eriadu satellite landing battle, Major General Ling Liang of the Fourth Civilization Army made careful planning. Although the power supply of the defense facilities around the planetary shield generator was restored an hour after the power failure in the direction of Karina crater, but in this In just one hour...

She just took over the entire satellite!
