The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2349. Battle of Malarian Alliance (Part 2)

【Help! Help! We're under attack by the geth! ! There are hundreds of them! Please help... please help! ! 】

In the intermittent communication, the panicked shouts of the advance team were heard, and explosions were heard from time to time. It was obvious that the shield of their battleship had been broken, and the main armor belt was being bombarded!

"General! It's the geth! They are ambushing our advance team! Should we send reinforcements to respond?" the fleet adjutant came over and said to Admiral Gilad Pellaeon.

Gilad Pellaeon shook his head with a heavy face and said: "No, they have been completely destroyed. If they were really ambushed by Geth, they would not have a chance to send for help."

No one knows Geth better than him. Geth has used such tricks many times. The geth's electronic jamming technology is the best in the galaxy. When the imperial fleet faces the geth spacecraft, the communication is basically in a state of chaos.

The main reason is that the essence of Geth is a kind of virtual data. Their ontology is the data that exists in the Geth network, and the body is just a carrier for them to move easily. Therefore, Geth's electronic interference often sends a large number of Geth individual data to destroy the communication network.

This is almost impossible to prevent, and even the empire's most advanced firewall cannot stop it.

Therefore, when fighting the geth fleet, the best way is to turn off the network, avoid using communications as much as possible, and try to fight according to the strategies and tactics arranged before the war.

Therefore, once the advance team is really attacked by the geth, it is almost impossible for them to send back a distress signal due to communication interference. This distress signal was most likely sent by the Geth, with the purpose of attracting them there and then setting up an ambush again.

This is the most common strategy used by the geth. Whether it is a merchant ship, a civilian ship, or even a city or planet that is attacked by them, they may send false news, and then lay a dragnet waiting for someone to step on it.

"Should we... just abandon them?" The adjutant still couldn't accept it.

The advance team included 3 Empire-class Star Destroyers, 3 Victory II-class Star Destroyers and 20 light cruisers! Not to mention anything else, there are more than 50,000 crew members on these battleships alone!

It is equivalent to saying that with one order from Gilad Perrine, 50,000 people will be completely abandoned! This is really hard to accept.

"You have been fighting the Geth for so many years, haven't you come to this realization yet?" Gilad Pellaeon said coldly, "Yes, fighting the Geth is so cruel."

He turned and stared at the adjutant, "This is a war of races, a battle of life and death! There is no room for change. Either they die or we die, there is no third possibility!"

The adjutant nodded. It wasn't that he didn't know, but he still couldn't accept such a cruel choice.

"Navigation department, how many available hyperspace routes are there to the planet Anxin?" Gilad Pellaeon asked in another direction.

"There are 6 recorded in the star chart navigation collection. Only two of them can allow our entire fleet to pass through at once." The navigator immediately replied, "But according to our scanning results, there should be two more channels. It’s probably a seasonal channel.”

Gilad Pellaeon closed his eyes and meditated. He thought for a long time and then slowly said: "The Geth may have set up ambushes on every hyperspace channel... The advance team encountered a Geth attack. , it can’t be just because of bad luck.”

"General, what should we do?" the adjutant asked.

"They divided the warships into so many channels to ambush at the same time, and the force is definitely not enough." Gilad Pellaeon said slowly: "The advance team was attacked in one of the large channels, so the geth ambushed in the other large channel. There may be more battleships. So, we go in the opposite direction and attack from the two seasonal channels! No more advance teams, just hit me with all the battleships!"

"Yes!" The adjutant immediately stood at attention and saluted, passing on Admiral Pellaeon's instructions.

The huge imperial fleet immediately divided into two parts and began to enter the hyperspace channel in batches, heading towards the planet Anxin from two directions. These two parts are numbered as Fleet A and Fleet B respectively.

Because the capacity of the two seasonal waterways is limited, once more than a certain number of spacecraft sail, the resulting hyperspace fluctuations will continue to interfere with the waterway, rendering it unnavigable.

Therefore, among the two seasonal waterways, the first batch to fly over were 80 Empire-class Star Destroyers. Regardless of whether there is an ambush by geth warships or not, no matter how many ambushes they have, 80 Star Destroyers are enough to deal with it.

What's more, more battleships are coming from behind.

Gilad Perrine is in Fleet A, on his flagship Leveler. He was among the first to enter the jump, and he wanted to see for himself what the Geth was doing. The strength of 80 Imperial-class Star Destroyers is enough to ensure his safety.

Without any surprise, about 30 minutes after entering the hyperspace channel, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the console of the hyperspace engine! Immediately afterwards, the entire battleship was shaken violently and left the hyperspace navigation state.

It's a hyperspace blocker!

The principle of this kind of blocker is very simple. It is a generator that repeatedly simulates the fluctuations of a spacecraft in hyperspace navigation, creating interference in the hyperspace channel, making the channel directly in an overloaded state, thereby blocking hyperspace navigation.

Generally speaking, each obstacle set up with a hyperspace blocker contains at least thousands of blockers. Because only when there are enough of them can the fluctuations caused interfere with the navigation of a large-scale fleet and cause greater fluctuations in the hyperspace channel.

Therefore, once a hyperspace channel with a blocker is set, warships need to be sent to clear all these blockers before continuing to sail.

"Telegraph all ships, enter combat status immediately! Act according to the plan! Eliminate all invading enemies!" Gilad-Pellaeon issued an order.

"General! The Geth warship is found!" The radar soldier shouted, and his voice seemed a little terrified.

"Prepare for battle!!" Gilad-Pellaeon shouted.

"General... Geth warship... Geth warship..." The radar soldier's voice was trembling, and for a while it seemed that his tongue could not be straightened.

"What?" Gilad-Pellaeon asked.

"Geth warships... number... 1,000!!!!" The radar soldier shouted with almost all his strength.

Gilad-Pellaeon felt as if he was drenched by a bucket of ice water. He could hardly believe his ears, "What did you say?! Confirm it again!"

"Confirmed! Geth warships... 1,000!!" (End of this chapter)
