The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

167. Battle of Malastal Fjord (2)

Igor commanded the Fourth Civilization Fleet to line up. The five cobalt-alloy-class heavy frigates with the best protection capabilities rushed forward, the six Vengeance-class light destroyers with the strongest firepower were in the middle, and 60 Hammer-class light frigates lined up around.

The space defense force of the Marathal planet hastily launched more than a dozen Orek fighter jets. At the same time, the space station launched several proton torpedoes.

Such a counterattack looked childish to Igor Zavarov. The distance between the two sides is more than 2,000 kilometers. Launching proton torpedoes and taking off fighter jets at this distance is completely dead!

"Start electronic jamming! The Hammer-class frigate locks on the trajectory of the proton torpedo! Intercept it immediately after entering the range!" Igor gave an order.

Two minutes later, all 30 Hammer-class frigates equipped with laser turrets opened fire, and the blue laser beams shrouded the past like a network, and all the proton torpedoes fired by the opponent were blown into fireballs.

Immediately after the Orek fighter jet entered the optimal range of the cobalt alloy frigate, the gunner on the frigate gave an order, "Fire!!"

The laser cannon directly in front of the cobalt alloy frigate immediately emitted laser beams!

Two of the Orek fighter jets were instantly destroyed, and the rest scattered in all directions. While rolling and dodging, they launched another round of airborne proton torpedoes.

But this level of attack can't break through the array of warships that have been set up. In the absence of fire cover from large warships, fighter jets rush into the opponent's fleet rashly, and the result is death!

Apart from moving forward, the spaceships of the Fourth Civilization Fleet did not take any evasive actions at all, they just pressed forward. Each spaceship performed its own duties, and was responsible for the air defense of one of the airspaces. The intensive firepower kept shooting down the Orek fighter jets on the planet Marathal.

The battle lasted less than 5 minutes. Although the pilots of the Marathal Defense Force were brave enough to fight to the last man, they achieved very little. Except for some explosive laser beams hitting the target, which caused a little damage to the shield of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, only an airborne proton torpedo hit one of the cobalt alloy frigates in the melee.

Then, the fourth civilization's fleet began to bombard the defensive space station violently. The turbolaser turrets and proton torpedo launchers installed on the space station tried their best to fight back, but still 10 minutes later, the space station was completely destroyed!

At this time, a small fleet has begun to gather near another defensive space station on the planet Marathal. Basically, they all take off from the airport near Pixlia, the capital of the planet Marathal. Most of them are spacecraft converted from cargo ships, and there are about 20 of them. In addition, there are more than 30 Orek fighters.

This is already all the belongings of the planet Marathal.

They sacrificed this defensive space station here, creating precious time for their defensive fleet to expand.

However, such resistance is doomed to be futile!

The Fourth Civilization Fleet immediately turned around, heading straight for the Marathal Defense Fleet. Fire directly without any temptation!

Although the cobalt-alloy heavy frigate has only two laser turrets, the turrets have high power, fast rate of fire, and concentrated firepower. Five ships line up in a row and fire continuously. At the same time, they concentrated all the shield energy on the bow of the ship to withstand the crazy counterattack of the defending fleet.

The firepower of the Vengeance-class light destroyer is even more powerful. The firepower of the four dual-mounted laser turrets and two plasma bomb launchers simply makes the defense fleet desperate.

Because the fleets of the Fourth Civilization all use blue laser weapons, they are in stark contrast to the red blaster beams of the Marathal Defense Fleet. But obviously, on this battlefield, blue firmly suppressed red.

The fleet of the Fourth Civilization has always maintained a distance of 500 kilometers, and the deployment of the formation is a burst of indiscriminate bombing. The Marathal defense fleet failed to break through their fire nets even at the cost of their lives.

Their fleet composition is pretty complete now, with plasma bombs that work well against shields, and blue lasers for point-to-point attacks, including close-in fire. Later, when the pulse star frigates are put into mass production, they will also have a weapon that can effectively destroy the armor of enemy spacecraft.

In comparison, the Marathal Defense Fleet, where all spaceships were saved from rations and purchased from the black market, was much shabby.

The result is also self-evident.

Igor Zavalov didn't mean to let the Phantom take off from the beginning to the end, and the battle was over.

"The Galactic Republic will make you pay!!" The commander of the space station uttered a final roar in the public channel, followed by a violent explosion. He died in the line of duty and died under the bombing of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.

Tang Xiao shook his head, "Contrary to what you think, the battle of Malastal Fjord is just the beginning of the turmoil in the Republic."

The fleet of the Fourth Civilization flew around the planet Marathal to ensure that they no longer had any resistance, and by the way destroyed all the communication satellites and navigation satellites outside the atmosphere, and plunged the entire planet Malastal into darkness and chaos. In panic.

At this time, Admiral Trench had also completed the defense arrangement at the Malastal Fjord, and also installed a hyperspace blocker, completely blocking the hyperspace channel around the planet Malastal.

...

Due to the destruction of the communication satellite, it took almost a day for the news of the blockade of the planet Marathal to reach the Galactic Council, but the speaker, Phinis Valorum, has decided not to publicly interfere in the dispute over the planet Malastar .

Under Valorum's secret organization, he personally used some funds to find aid for the planet Marathal.

Because the defense fleet of the Dustieg military region to which the planet Marathal belonged was bought by the Enterprise Alliance, Valorum had to be headed by the defense fleet of the Kumar military region, and the defense fleets of the two star regions of Teus and Val-Hagen began to gather stand up. On the surface, this fleet participated in the war in the name of mercenaries. According to the public documents, they were hired by the planet Marathal, and all their actions have nothing to do with the official of the Galactic Republic.

Then, at the behest of Valorum, the Galactic Council organized a survey team to the planet Marathal, nominally to mediate the dispute between the two parties. But in fact, there is a special person in this investigation team——Captain Woolf Yularen, who is a pseudonymous investigator consultant.

Wulf-Ularen will enter the fleet as a consultant and serve as the commander of the fleet. He is responsible for repelling the mercenary fleet of the Enterprise Alliance and rescuing the Marathal planet!
