The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1307: Abandoned

At the same time, on the outskirts of the planet Rendili.

The fleet of the Galactic Republic has been completely torn apart. Under Severance Tann's raid, they have no resistance at all, and they can't even maintain a complete formation.

What Severance Tann said before was quite right. The 11 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were paralyzed by the ion pulse cannon of the Destroyer became a dog chain for Lieutenant General Jane Dodenner.

Jane Dodenne wants to rescue these 11 warships, so the maneuvering range of his other warships will also be greatly restricted. In this case, they will have to face Severance Tann A direct attack from your fleet with high morale!

In such a situation, if the two sides change their perspective, then Severance Tann will definitely abandon the 11 warships without hesitation, and immediately lead her own fleet to conduct large-scale tactical maneuvers to gain an advantage. But Jane Dodenne's concern about gains and losses has become the biggest breakthrough.

This is the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals.

On the one hand, they don't want to give up the 11 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, on the other hand, they want to save Admiral Trinald Scarride's disbanded fleet, and at the same time, they want to repel Severance Tann's attack as soon as possible. offensive. As a result, nothing can be done well.

Needless to say the details, under the excellent command of Severance Tann, the fleet of Jane Dordonna, who was worried about gains and losses, collapsed almost immediately.

His fleet is all the warships of the Lundili Planet Defense Fleet that he robbed before. Originally, the battleships were not full of personnel and morale was low, but now they are just barely pulled out to fight. Now 11 ships were paralyzed by Severance Tann's cannonball, and then they came over with an incomparably fierce surprise attack, and immediately they were in chaos, and those warships scattered and fled.

So in the end, Jane Dodenne and Scarride had to order their fleet to disperse and flee, because now it is impossible to organize effective resistance, and they can only disperse in a herd, running as much as they can, at least Save a little vitality.

It has to be said that under such a rotten battle situation, such a rush to disperse is really a good way out of no alternatives.

Because although Severance-Tann is coming fiercely and her command level is far superior to the two, but the performance of the battleship is there. The warships in her hands can be fought at full capacity. The seven Victory I-class star destroyers and the one previously destroyed The Knight-class Star Destroyer captured by Darth Malthael, and then her flagship Doom.

The others are all Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, which are almost two eras behind the battleships, and even the conventional firepower of the Destroyer itself is actually not strong. So in the final analysis, the weak firepower of this motley fleet in Tann's hands is the biggest shortcoming!

So when the Republic fleet dispersed, she really had no good way to keep these warships.

As a result, in this battle, Severance-Tann sank a total of 12 Hunter-class battlecruisers, 1 Knight-class star destroyer was severely damaged, and 17 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were sunk, about It is equivalent to about half of the current fleet of the Galactic Republic in the Rendili galaxy.

The other battleships fled in all directions, and then fled to the outskirts of the Rendili galaxy to regroup. Although most of the battleships were covered in scars, at least they came back alive.

Severance Tann didn't care either. She recovered her battleship, reorganized and maintained it, and prepared for the next stage of the battle plan. As for those Republic battleships running away halfway, it doesn't matter, if they come again, it's a big deal to kill them again.

On the other side, Lieutenant General Jane Dodenne took a shuttle to the flagship of Lieutenant General Scarred. The two of them were classmates when they were young. Although their personalities and ideas were different, and there was still a competitive relationship, they After being hanged up and beaten by the opponent's famous general, Severance Tann, other conflicts are not important, and now they are intimate friends and classmates again.

The two looked at each other in dismay. In the previous battle, Lieutenant General Scarred had his flagship shield destroyed by the Destroyer, so when the battleship body suffered continuous bombing, he also fell to the ground and broke his collarbone on his right shoulder. The fracture was broken, and now the right hand is hung in front of the chest after being treated briefly by the medical robot, looking extremely miserable.

"What should we do now? Scared." Jane Dodena asked, "Where is Master Yoda?"

"After he went out to fight the Sith Lord, he has been meditating since he came back, and he seems to be injured." Scarred replied, and he also asked, "Where's that Jedi Knight over there, Jing Fang? "

"He can only tell me that there is a great danger coming, but he can't point out where the danger comes from... He still lacks experience in commanding fleet operations." Jane Dodenne shook her head, "Now I suggest that we retreat as soon as possible, Ren The situation on Planet Dilly is irreversible, and it is useless to stay here."

"That fleet of yours won't be of much use, it's all recruits." Scarred didn't forget to say something to his old classmate, "But...it's true, at least we captured half of Lendili's fleet , we can make a difference."

Jane Dodenne nodded.

However, at this moment, the communications soldier suddenly came over and said, "General! The Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic is calling!"

"Supreme Strategic Command?" Scarred frowned, "Take it."

The screen in front of him flickered for a moment, but no holographic projection appeared, only a majestic and majestic voice came from the communication end, "According to the research and decision of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic, the current war on Lundili planet must continue The Republic will send additional reinforcements for you, your mission has changed, it is no longer to occupy the planet Rendili, but to ensure that Severance Tann is always stuck here and cannot go anywhere else!"

Lieutenant General Jane Dodenne was shocked, and he said: "This is impossible! Our fleet just suffered heavy losses in the process of storming the planet Rendili, and we must return to Coruscant for a rest! And these are our The warships captured cannot form effective combat power at all!"

"This is an order! Not a suggestion!" The other party dropped this sentence coldly, "Your reinforcements include a Commander-class dreadnought and 5 Jaeger-class battlecruisers! Make good use of this power and drag me Stay with Severance Tann!"

After speaking, he cut off the communication involuntarily.

"A Commander? It's not the Commander II, but the old antique?! Just such a small amount of reinforcements wants us to continue to die here?!" Lieutenant General Scared jumped up immediately.

Lieutenant General Dodenna's face was also very ugly, "I think we were abandoned..."

"Abandoned? Impossible! We are alternates for the Admiral of the Republic!" Scared could not accept this reality.

"After the battle on the planet Rendili, we still don't know if we are candidates, but what is certain is that the Republic will definitely launch attacks in other galaxies in this direction, and our only meaning now is to hold back Severance -Tann, don't let her do bad things over there." Lieutenant General Dodenner turned his head and stared into Scared's eyes, "This is the reality."

"Which direction?" Scared slammed his fist on the console as soon as he uttered the question, and he himself thought the question was stupid.

"This is not what we, the abandoned son, are qualified to know..." Lieutenant General Dodenne sighed.

...

At the same time, the eastern border of the Milky Way, the inner star region, and the Kona planet.

This is a primitive ecological planet, the planet has not been developed, and the environment is very harsh, full of poisonous swamps and primitive jungles. But after the war broke out, the Galactic Republic built a large-scale space port here and used it as a forward base.

And after the Galactic Republic began to switch to a strategic counter-offensive, one of the squadrons of the Fourth Army of the Republic settled here.

The Fourth Army of the Republic did not suffer too much loss in the previous wars. The main reason was that when General Grievous launched the sacrificial offensive more than a year ago, the fleet of the Fourth Army went to stop it and was pierced. . After that, they have regained their strength, and as one of the several major legions guarding the core area, the Fourth Army still maintains a very strong strength.

And now, the Republic's new round of offensive will be launched by the main fleet of the Fourth Army!

The surface of the Kona planet, where outsiders gather, is also a place where Republic soldiers come down for leisure and entertainment.

Staff Officer Cejas came to a bar and sat down in an inconspicuous position. He said to the air next to him, "I will take a shuttle to the spaceport tomorrow morning. Do you have a way to go up?"

No voice answered, Cejas just felt a light tap on his right shoulder.

According to the previously agreed arrangement, patting the right shoulder means approval.

"Well, since you have no problem, so be it. I will find a way to bring you into the fleet command center, but after that, I will double the reward!" Cejas whispered.

He felt another tap on his right shoulder, so he nodded sullenly and drank the wine in his hand.
