The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

419. General

When the huge ring-shaped hull of the Luke Hook-class cargo ship appeared out of hyperspace, even though they knew it was just an unarmed cargo ship, the people of Ailu were shocked.

This ring with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters has a sphere with a diameter of 1,029 meters in the middle. Such a huge scale represents an industrial capacity that Ailu people can hardly match in a few lifetimes.

What's even more frightening is that the location of this spaceship happened to stop the coming supply fleet of Ailu people! !

"How is it possible! How did they do it!! The jumping point is obviously inside the gravity well of Kuna's Fang!" General Telsey was shocked, "Notify the supply fleet to evade immediately!"

"They are still on the hyperspace channel, how can I notify them?" In desperation, the communicator also directly sent back.

"Where's our ship!?" Telsey yelled.

"There are still 5 minutes!!"

And at this moment, white light flashed for a while, and more than a dozen transport ships escaped from the hyperspace channel and appeared in the space! After seeing the scenery outside the porthole clearly, the drivers of those transport ships were all stunned by the huge Rookie Hook class cargo ship in front of them!

Almost at the same moment, Kanedi gave an order, and fighter planes took off from the Rookie Hook-class cargo ship.

More than 100 blade fighters took off from the cargo ship's extremely wide flying platform at the same time, and went straight to the Airu transport ship.

Limited by performance and space, the blade fighter can only be equipped with blue lasers, primary energy shields and up to 4 Gemini air-to-air missiles, which has squeezed the structure of this model to the limit.

But these fighter jets piloted by B-1 robots are enough to pose enough threats to those transport ships with only basic defensive firepower! The Ail people's transport ships fled in all directions, never daring to approach the direction of the planet, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Telsey was very decisive and immediately issued an order, "They don't have enough fighter jets! All spaceships take off fighter jets and concentrate on attacking that cargo ship!"

The transport ships were all dispersed by the blade fighters, and now it takes a lot of time to rescue them one by one. At this time, it is very likely that some transport ships will be shot down. It is better to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao directly, and attack the Luke Hook-class cargo ship, so that the opponent's fighter jets have to return to help.

The Eru fleet currently on the planet Kuna's Fang includes a total of 10 Defender-class frigates and 5 CR-12 light frigates. The Defender class is an early warship produced by Lundili Interstellar Power Company. It is 94 meters long and 71 meters wide.

Of course, like the Defender class, this so-called 'early' refers to the period of the Sith War, about 3,000 years ago... Although the technology has developed to a certain level, there will be a bottleneck, that is to say, there will be no more from steam to this leap forward in electrical development. Therefore, the technology of 3000 years ago is not necessarily backward to the point where bows and arrows are against electromagnetic guns, at most it is assault rifles against electromagnetic guns.

Therefore, these battleships that were mass-produced during the war and then eliminated were taken over by those planets and became their defensive fleet.

After thousands of years of imitation, the Ailu people have been able to build some shoddy imitations of this kind of warship, which is where their greatest confidence lies.

Regardless of the quality, the Ailu people with two industrial worlds at least have a large fleet.

Sure enough, as Telsey expected, the Luke Hook class cargo ship didn't even fight back, and just kept being beaten passively like this.

"Keep attacking me!! Sink that cargo ship! Give Dawn a little bit of color!" Telsey yelled.

"General! Dawn Star has dispatched a large number of off-road vehicles, and they have arrived at the outskirts of the city. They are firing at the houses!" The communications soldier shouted.

"Send 5 brigades to resist! Other ground troops should not act rashly!" Telsey ordered immediately.

Hundreds of Ailu soldiers disguised as civilians got on the hoverbikes and rushed towards the convoy of Star Dawn, and there was a burst of gunshots outside the city.

Dawn Planet sent more than 30 Warthog off-road vehicles and more than 50 Mongoose off-road motorcycles. They strafed the houses on the outskirts of the Ail colony, and even fired rockets with rocket launchers. The Lu garrison began to move, and immediately began to retreat.

The angry Ailu people followed closely behind, but soon they found that although they could catch up with the Warthog on the hoverbike, they were not a match for the opponent's powerful firepower at all, and they were quickly dispersed. However, Dawn Star's team didn't run far, it just kept hanging, constantly harassing everywhere with its mobility.

Telsey didn't realize that the three fronts now formed a strange balance.

The blade fighter jets lack firepower and cannot destroy the transport fleet in a short period of time, and the spaceships of the Ayru people cannot pose a threat to the Luke Hook-class cargo ships in a short period of time, and the ground battlefield also appears to be unable to catch up. A situation where you can't catch up.

At the same time, Volgograd-Kanidi stood in front of the screen in the command center of Blackhorn City, watching the battle intently, without saying a word.

"Sir, how did you do it?" The series of operations just now made the adjutant Jin Chen, who had already had deep doubts about Canidi, drop his jaw.

"I have been monitoring the arrival time and route of the supply fleet of the Ailu people. With the electronic system of the Lukelihook-class cargo ship, it is not difficult to do this." Kanedi said lightly.

"But...how could that cargo ship jump directly into the planet's gravity well through hyperspace navigation?! And it's not in that position, it is likely to make the other party's transport fleet run away!"

"It's not a gravity well, at least not right now," Canidy replied, "because in the last week of this standard month, because of the greatly increased flare activity around the star, this will affect the magnetic field of the planet Kuna's Fang , thus slightly reducing the actual range of the gravity well. The star map of the navigation system will not record this change, because it does not affect navigation."

Jin Chen exclaimed: "So, you have been planning this battle for a long time?!"

"Understanding the astronomical laws of the jurisdiction and the activities of the neighbors is the job of a colonial governor. I never want to fight with anyone." Canidy slammed his fist on the table, full of resentment.

"But now we are... we should be able to kill this small fleet of Ailu people?" Karls Wharton on the side also asked.

Canidy stroked the beard on his chin lightly, "With our strength, there is no way to checkmate all three lines, so I need to test the opponent's chess moves, and then think about how to... checkmate!"
