The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2378. Bloody Battle with Fang Duo (1)

Severance Tann was very eager to capture the Fondo planet, but she definitely did not do it in this way.

The industrial production capacity of Fangduo Planet can be ranked among the top three in the entire galaxy. It can be said that it is the largest industrial world in the Galaxy Empire besides the core industrial areas of several major industrial giants. The industrial scale here is second only to the planet Kuat and Corellia, and even surpasses the planet Rendili!

The capture of the Fangduo planet can be said to be of great significance. It will directly interrupt the important industrial chain of the Galactic Empire, causing the Galactic Empire to lose one-tenth of its industrial output value. At the same time, the empire must reorganize its industrial production, including the supply of raw materials. Including parts production and other aspects.

In the short term, the impact of the capture of Fangduo Planet on the Galactic Empire can even reduce the industrial output value of the Galactic Empire by a quarter!

But in other words, conquering such an industrial world is not easy.

The entire Fangduo planet has been covered by factories. Now that the Kingdom of Dawn Army has landed on the ground, every inch of land it sets foot on is covered with metal! Towering cooling towers, overvoltage substations with lightning and thunder, these magnificent industrial structures can be found everywhere on the planet.

Almost everywhere where the Kingdom of Dawn Army lands, automatic turrets may rise from the ground and fire. Even on the battleship hulls that were being assembled on the production line, some of the installed artillery pieces turned their muzzles and fired.

While a force of more than 100,000 engineering robots blocked the advancement of the Fourth Army, an automated line of defense in the rear was already taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Blaster cannon turrets, turbolaser cannons, anti-aircraft missile sites... These automated defense facilities were quickly processed and constructed in the factory, and were transported in a modular manner by countless engineering robots and quickly assembled.

In just one hour, a defense line consisting of hundreds of automatic turrets of various types has been formed in front of the Fourth Army!

In the sky, Ghost fighter planes and Banshee fighter planes also swooped down to bomb these artillery positions, but on Fangduo planet, anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft missiles were set up everywhere. This caused the Kingdom of Dawn's air force to suffer serious losses.

Orbital bombing is almost non-stop, but even orbital bombing involves considerable risks. Because the number of orbital defense cannons on the ground has also reached an astonishing level!

Hundreds of super nuclear bombs fell from the sky, but they were greeted by countless anti-aircraft fire. Most of the nuclear bombs were intercepted, and in the end only three nuclear bombs landed.

boom! boom! boom! ! ! Violent explosions and flames suddenly set off. Because there were metal structures everywhere, the explosion of the nuclear bomb could not even form a mushroom cloud. The high temperature and high pressure were blocked by the extremely strong factory structure, and it only destroyed facilities within a radius of 2 or 3 kilometers.

But for a planet whose entire surface is covered with factories, such damage would be minimal.

This is the defense capability of the industrial world!

Severance Tann ordered all warships, including the Ogre-class siege cruisers, to use full firepower. They launched extremely brutal orbital bombings on multiple planets, but they still could not make the planets stop resisting.

More than a dozen modified whale-class passenger spacecraft rushed directly into the planet's atmosphere and were quickly destroyed by anti-aircraft fire. From the cargo compartment of the passenger spaceship, countless insects enhanced by the T-Veronica virus flew out.

Ant colony!

Ant colonies immediately flew in from ventilation ducts around the world, parasitizing all living creatures they could come into contact with, and then mutated into powerful biological weapons in a short period of time.

However, this cannot stop the defense power of Fangduo Planet!

The population on the planet Fangdo is not large, only about 5 billion, half of which are workers, and the other half are the families of these workers. And those truly wealthy nobles will not live in such an industrial world.

The things that keep the planet running basically rely on robots. On the planet Fangduo,

The 'ant colony' parasitized and transformed hundreds of thousands of people, causing serious chaos in major factories on the planet, but that was all. Those scattered mutated biological weapons were quickly wiped out by the swarm of robots.

On the ground battlefield, the Incholi Avenger 103 roared forward and charged forward, but what greeted them was a dense fire net.

The Scorpion tanks formed a swarm and launched an assault. The 90mm caliber electric thermal cannon fired rapidly at a rate of 100 rounds per minute, pouring firepower forward. At the same time, it ran over the remains of countless robots on the ground and directly broke through the defense line of the automatic turret. There were many planets behind it. Engineering robots carry out massacres.

The defensive firepower was so powerful that the Fourth Army behind them had to set up portable shield generators as bunkers and advance layer by layer.

From time to time, the wreckage of fighter jets falls in the sky, including TIE fighters from the Galactic Empire, Ghost fighters from the Kingdom of Dawn, or Banshee fighters.

Coupled with the countless lasers and missiles falling from the sky, the entire battlefield seemed to be raining scorching fire all the time!

According to the situation on the front line, all subsequent landing troops have been replaced by B-1 combat robots. The number of these combat robots was staggering, and the number on the front lines soon reached 500,000.

The investment of combat robots has turned the ground battlefield on Fangduo Planet into a battle between machines, which is extremely cruel and fierce!

…

The new capital of Fangduo Planet, Oridin City. This city replaced Fangduo City as the capital of Fangduo Planet several years ago. It is also the city where Fangduo Planet's various high-precision technologies are the most concentrated.

The defensive firepower of this city is so strong that even the fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn finds it difficult to land here, so the landing point they chose is currently in the old capital Fangduo City.

Severance Tann's plan is to use Fangduo City as a springboard to attack Oridin City after occupying Fangduo City.

Octavian Grant, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, is currently in the underground command center of Oridin City, remotely controlling the entire battle.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave the front line of this war, but that he can't leave.

Fangduo Planet is such an important planet. Once it falls, no matter what kind of relationship he has and what kind of military exploits he has, he doesn't need to live.

Instead of doing this, it's better to stay in Fangduo Planet and fight with the Kingdom of Dawn.

"Darth Vader!! Where is your fleet!! We are under attack! The separatist robot army has landed!! Send your fleet back immediately!!!" Octavian Grant almost hysterically shouted at the black mask on the screen.

"The defense of Fangduo is enough to support for a long time. My fleet will stay here until I destroy Yago-Dur." Darth Vader said coldly.

"You bastard! Bastard!! Don't you know the importance of Fangduo? Once the planet falls, I'm done, and you're done too!" Octavian Grant yelled.

"Then please defend hard, Governor." Darth Vader said slowly.

"Tell me, how long will it take you to destroy Yago-Dur?!" Octavian Grant asked with gritted teeth.

"One month." Darth Vader said this coldly and cut off the communication directly.
