The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1441. The Rising Star

boom! ! ! The Jaeger-class battlecruiser was hit by more than a dozen plasma cannons, the shield directly above the battleship was penetrated, and the battleship suddenly shook violently.

"The shield has been penetrated! The shield has been penetrated!" The shield team controller screamed loudly.

"Turn to avoid shooting immediately! Concentrate all energy supplies on the shield system and recirculate as soon as possible!" Admiral Eureka, the commander of the Republic Fleet, gave a loud order, "Call the nearest warship to us and come to cover immediately!"

Fleet Commander Admiral Eureka is here, which only means one thing - this battleship is the flagship of the Republic fleet.

"A fighter jet is approaching us!" the radar soldier shouted.

All I could see on the sensor screen was a group of 12 Geth fighters flying straight over here, extremely fast! Several V-19 light fighters went to intercept them, but they were quickly shot down. They were no match at all!

"Their goal is the bridge! Quickly cover! Cover!!" Admiral Eureka was shocked.

At this time, an Aquatens-class light cruiser rushed over desperately, and the close-in defense guns on the battleship fired wildly at the geth fighters, but it was still a step too late!

Among them, 8 Geth fighters broke through the fire net of the Arquitens-class light cruiser and the anti-aircraft barrage around the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, and flew over in a completely desperate attitude. Want to launch a proton torpedo!

Everyone on the bridge felt cold, only despair.

However, at this time, a young voice suddenly shouted loudly: "Let the close-in defense gunfire of the light cruiser Thunderstrike open fire on our ship's bridge! Quick!"

The signal soldier, who had already lost his mind, subconsciously followed suit.

And those geth fighters, after being shot down two more, the remaining few have entered the launch angle!

With a flash of light, the proton torpedo ignited and launched instantly, and at this moment, the Geth fighter was less than 2 kilometers away from the flagship's bridge!

In the next second, a berserk blast of light nets came, and the close-in artillery firepower mixed with lasers and blaster beams instantly enveloped the entire range of hundreds of meters including the flagship bridge!

Three Geth fighters collided with the fire net in an instant, and were blown into three fireballs, and most of the proton torpedoes launched were intercepted by this violent attack!

But there is one missing! This distance is too short. The proton torpedo was shot in front of the bridge when it was hit by the close-in artillery. Under the action of the composite fuze, the proton torpedo was directly less than 10 meters away from the bridge armor. Detonate!

The blue proton cloud shrank instantly, and then exploded again! A devastating explosion is coming! Even if the flagship of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser has closed the bridge and completely closed the observation portholes, it still cannot resist this powerful explosion.

At this time, the near-anti-aircraft firepower of the Thunderbolt was also firing directly at the bridge!

The explosion opened a gap in the bridge armor. At this moment, countless lasers and turbo lasers poured over, passing through the gap and wreaking havoc inside the bridge! Immediately afterwards, the airtight hatch of the bridge was closed, completely sealing off the gap created by the explosion.

All of this happened in less than a second. At this moment, the bridge of the battleship is a complete mess. All the people and equipment inside are scattered, and there are mutilated corpses everywhere. The console of the battleship was also severely damaged and temporarily lost its combat effectiveness.

Suddenly, the case door of a console host was knocked open, and a young man wearing a Republic Navy uniform rolled out, his body still smoking. Judging from his badge, his rank is major.

This young man was the one who made the decisive decision just now to let the light cruiser Lightning Strike's close-in firepower directly fire at his battleship, and his name is Gilad Perrine, and he is currently the Major of the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic staff officer.

Half a year ago, as a lieutenant, he participated in the Battle of Janfatal, and it was he who made key suggestions in that battle, delaying the offensive of the Fourth Group and the United Fleet of the Interstellar Banking Association, forcing them to step back.

Although mistakes were made during the battle, which made it impossible to prevent the workers' revolution on the planet Janfatar, Gilad Perrine's talent was appreciated by the fleet commander, Admiral Eureka, and he was transferred to his staff team.

After Pellaeon let the near-defense gun of the Thunderbolt fire on his side, he reacted immediately and hid in the chassis of a mainframe. The shell of this quantum computer is very strong, it is the strongest cover he can find in just a few seconds.

Standing up from the ground, he looked at the tragedy in the bridge. Even if it only took less than a second, the explosion of the proton torpedo and the strafing of the close-in defense guns almost caused serious damage to the entire bridge of the battleship. At least half of the officers, staff and operators at all levels inside died on the spot. Almost all the rest were wounded and fell to the ground moaning.

Girard-Pellaeon searched the bridge and finally found Admiral Eureka behind a console. During the explosion just now, he was blown away by the blast wave and rolled to the back of the console. Although he was seriously injured, he still had his breath left.

"General Eureka! We must respond! Otherwise, these geth warships will wipe us all out in no time!" Gilad-Pellaeon yelled.

"You are... Gilad Pellaeon?" Admiral Eureka clutched his chest, blood kept flowing from his fingers, and he grabbed Pellaeon with the other bloody hand with difficulty clothes, said: "Where is the fleet? How many warships are there?"

"Our fleet has more than two-thirds of its strength left! It's still too late to react!" Gilad Perrein said.

At this time, the damage control team and the medical team had already rushed into the bridge, and several medical soldiers brought the medical robot to Admiral Eureka's side. Without any explanation, they gave him an injection first, and then carried him on a stretcher.

However, Admiral Eureka still held Pellaeon with his hand, and he murmured, "You are very smart, boy... this fleet...is under your command...this is...this is my last order ..."

He was quickly carried out on a stretcher, leaving only Gilad Perrine standing there in a daze.

But he reacted immediately and walked directly towards the communication department. He pushed the body of the communication soldier aside and sat on the communication device to check. The communicator was severely damaged, but fortunately, the backup communication system was still working. He picked up the communicator and said loudly: "Attention all ships! Attention all ships! This is the flagship Mingxing! I am Fleet Staff Officer Gilad - Major Pellaeon! Admiral Eureka is receiving treatment for his injuries, and next, this fleet will be temporarily under my command! I...I will definitely take everyone out!"
