The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2362. Charge to the death

"The Third Star Destroyer Formation, turn to the rear! Destroy the enemy in the U-97 area! General Nadel, the 17th High Speed ​​Fleet is under your command. Be sure to protect the Starlight Chaser-class aircraft carrier! NL-14 Area... Damn it! Order the Black Snake Commander II-class dreadnought to block it with your body and let them explode! The Separatist fleet must not be allowed to pass through this area!" Admiral Gilad Pellaeon said on the holographic battle star! Various combat orders were quickly issued in front of the map.

He had tried his best to keep the Imperial fleet in formation, but it was still extremely difficult. The Imperial fleet had been betrayed by the planet Grad-Anselm earlier, and then was attacked by more than 1,500 Undertaker-class light cruisers. Then it faced the front and rear attacks of the Geth fleet. Numerous changes had long since destroyed those battleships. At a loss.

You must know that Gilard Perrine is only the commander-in-chief. The instructions he issues can only be regional general direction orders, while the specific tactical commands are decided by the theater commander and the captain of each warship. of. Even more detailed, the gunner of a certain turret of a certain Imperial-class Star Destroyer may have other ideas.

The fact that the Imperial Fleet has been able to persist without chaos until now is a testament to Gilad Pellaeon's outstanding command ability.

And now Gilad Perrine is also suffering. He must grit his teeth now and must not issue orders to retreat. In fact, many defeats began with such an order to retreat. On the surface, this kind of retreat seems to be able to escape more warships, but in fact it can only escape the first few ships. The other warships will be entangled by the enemy and then cannot escape at all.

Not only that, this will completely lose the possibility of resistance due to the scattered formation. The devastating defeat in the Battle of Planet Kira originated from the commanders' orders to retreat.

Gilard-Pellaeon must command the fleet to resist resolutely, and then when the time is right, drop some broken battleships, so as to cover the escape of the large force.

But even this is not easy!

Now the formations of both sides are intertwined, and Undertaker-class light cruisers are flying everywhere, making it difficult for the Imperial fleet to form an effective cluster.

Gilard Perrine's brain was running wildly as if overclocked, thinking of countermeasures. After a moment, he issued an order in a deep voice: "The Second Squadron, immediately attack the enemy's main force! Other battleships, abandon the enemy's main ship, and use all your strength to destroy the enemy's light cruisers!"

"General! Do you want us to die!?" the commander of the Second Squadron said through gritted teeth.

Gilad Pellaeon's expression became increasingly ferocious, and he said word by word: "Come forward, your entire Second Squadron are martyrs. You will receive adequate pensions, and your families will be treated well. If If you don't move forward, the Imperial Fleet will regard you as deserters and execute you on the spot! Your family will be stigmatized for the rest of their lives, and their lives will be worse than death!"

"You bastard!" the commander of the Second Squadron yelled.

"Execute the order!" Gilad Pellaeon said in a deep voice.

At the same time, next to the commander of the Second Squadron, several clone soldiers had stepped forward, and the cold blaster rifle barrels in their hands had been pressed against his head.

"Execute... the order!" Gilad Pellaeon repeated again with a ferocious expression.

The commander of the Second Squadron stared at Gilad Pellaeon, his eyes seemed to burst into flames. He squeezed out a sentence from the bottom of his throat, "Inform all ships in the fleet to charge to the death! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." No mercy!”

About 70 battleships of the Second Squadron began to launch a desperate charge against the Kingdom of Dawn's battleships. This squadron was extremely ferocious and had the momentum to not give up until they hit them head-on.

In this state, the Empire-class Star Destroyer's huge body and powerful energy supply finally showed their effect. The Kingdom of Dawn's fleet had to allocate most of its firepower to deal with these desperate assaults of Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

…

"These imperial guys are going to run!!" In the fierce battlefield, Ferus Olin and Jax Pawan led their respective Viking fighter formations to shuttle through the dense fire net.

No matter what kind of artillery fire, it was impossible to hit their fighter jets! They have predicted all attacks through the Force! Moreover, the Viking fighters at the rear were also ace pilots who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they tried their best to keep up with the two Jedi Knights.

Although such an action is almost equivalent to suicide, for these ace pilots who have joined the rebirth plan, death is just a file load.

Ferus-Olin drove the fighter through countless anti-aircraft fires and rushed straight towards one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers!

In the long river of Force, he has seen everything that happened next.

In ten seconds, the deflector shield of this Imperial-class Star Destroyer will be broken! And now, he has driven the fighter jet into the best launch position!

"Listen to my order! 3, 2, 1... launch!!" Ferrus Olin gave the order. He immediately pressed the launch button, and a proton torpedo was launched instantly. At the same time, those Viking fighters also launched Proton torpedo!

When more than a dozen proton torpedoes were fired directly at the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer from the side and rear, the light suddenly flashed continuously, and several Yamato cannons hit the battleship squarely!

The already overwhelmed deflector shield flickered and disappeared immediately.

At this moment, the proton torpedoes launched earlier have already flown over! Even if this Imperial-class Star Destroyer activated the backup shield of the bridge at the first time, it was too late!

The short gap of less than 10 seconds was seized by the Jedi Knights, and more than ten proton torpedoes directly hit the bridge!

In a series of violent explosions, the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer was completely destroyed. The warship that lost the command center suddenly lost control and flew forward under the action of inertia.

Ferrus-Olin accelerated directly, passed through the flames of the explosion, and flew towards the next target.

At the same time, several Viking fighters immediately flew over to join his formation on the battlefield, replenishing the fighters that had been lost before.

"These people...are they not afraid of death..." Ferrus-Olin glanced at the fighter formation following behind him, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he couldn't even feel the fear of these pilots in the Force!

What kind of army can be so indifferent to death? This is the common question in the hearts of the three Jedi Knights who participated in the battle.

The Commercial Combined Fleet does not have many carrier-based aircraft, but the activeness of the three Jedi Knights, Ferrus Olin, Jax Pavan, and Luminara Anduril, has made the Imperial Fleet truly experience the despair that the Confederacy of Independent Systems once felt when facing the Jedi Knights!
