The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

528. Fighting Geonosis Again (Part 1)

At the same time, on the planet Geonosis, a tragic space battle has just begun.

The huge Galactic Republic fleet jumped out of hyperspace, and immediately had a fierce exchange of fire with the long-awaited Confederation of Independent Galaxy fleet.

Due to the unevenness of the warships in the Republic fleet and the different levels of hyperspace engines, the first to arrive on the battlefield were 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. Among the flagships, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Jedi Master Depa-Bilaba stood in the center of the bridge a little tiredly, looking at the Confederation of Independent Galaxy fleet waiting in front of him with a serious expression.

A series of powerful blast energy beams have been launched continuously, passing around their battleship, or directly hitting the shield, causing bursts of halo. Due to the rapid turn of the battleship, the internal artificial gravity could not be adjusted in time and deflected, and it felt like the whole person was tilted up.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is not a simple battle... I feel death in the force, countless deaths..."

"We feel it too, Master." Luna Meng nodded, her peaceful expression didn't have too many waves.

"Hey, no one is immortal in a war. As long as Master Yoda can be rescued, then it will be fine!" Luna Huan said aside.

Depa-Bilaba glanced back at her, Luna-Huan hurriedly covered her forehead and looked scared, "Ah, I mean...meaning that if Master Yoda can be rescued, we can save more lives , right, right?"

Depa-Bilaba nodded slightly, turned around and said: "Get ready, lead the fighter squadron to set off, and buy time for the arrival of our follow-up fleet."

"Yes, master." Luna Meng put her hands on her lower abdomen, bent down and bowed, and said lightly.

Luna Huan felt that she had escaped a catastrophe, and made a playful face at her sister, sticking out her tongue, who knew that a pen on the table next to her suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit her forehead with a slap. Luna Huan yelled, clutching her forehead and running away.

Opposite the Republic Fleet, 5 Providence-class destroyers, 20 Generosity-class frigates, 5 Disobedient-class light destroyers, and 20 Vengeance-class light destroyers are arranged in a trapezoidal array, guarding the rear 3 Rookery Hook-class battleships.

At this moment, these battleships were fully fired, firing fiercely at the first batch of 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that arrived, and countless lasers and blaster beams were continuously fired.

On a Shenyi-class destroyer as the flagship, a spider-like Hatch with 6 arms touched the claws at the corner of his mouth with one hand, and tapped it with a pointer in the other hand, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Judging from the formation of the Republic, they still have follow-up battleships, and even the level of hyperspace engines cannot be unified, so they are very anxious... tsk tsk tsk."

Admiral Trench, his original plan was to lead the Enterprise Alliance fleet to attack the planet Christopher Sis, but the battle situation on Geonosis planet was urgent, and he was transferred back to the defense by General Grievous.

"We should go straight up and use all our firepower to wipe out the Republic's fleet." The T-series tactical robot standing next to him said in that flat electronic voice.

"No... tsk tsk tsk. Take off, half of the fighter jets, disrupt the formation of the Dreadnought class, tsk tsk tsk tsk. If I remember correctly... the Dreadnought class heavy cruiser does not have too much aircraft capacity." Trench shook He shook the pointer in his hand and said.

Following his instructions, the warships of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy opened their hangars one after another, and a large number of vulture robot fighters took off densely and flew directly towards the Republic Fleet.

"Notify all ships, hold on, suppress firepower, but no, leave the formation without authorization... Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Admiral Trench said.

"Aim at the target and fire." The T-series tactical robot raised its hand and slashed down.

"Roger Roger." The B-1 robot controlling the spaceship immediately pressed the fire button, and the twin turbolaser cannons in front of the Shenyi-class destroyer instantly fired a dazzling beam of light, hitting a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser in an instant. The shield suddenly rippled.

At the same time, the Vulture fighter group had already engaged the Republic fleet, and the 20 close-in anti-laser cannons on the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser opened fire with all their strength, and countless small laser beams continued to flash across the space.

But there are too many vulture droid fighters, and the Dreadnought's fire control system cannot accurately target and track the extremely fast and very agile droid fighters. These robot fighters continuously launch small proton torpedoes and concussion missiles. The shield energy of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser in the artillery battle is all concentrated in the front. In order to deal with the attack of fighter jets, these warships have to allocate energy to strengthen the defense of other directions of the ship. .

Taking care of this and losing sight of another, the shields of three Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were smashed immediately, their armor was continuously bombarded, and they began to turn to prepare to withdraw from the battle.

At the same time, the fighter jets of the Republic Fleet finally take off!

Each Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is equipped with 12 fighter jets, and there are only 216 fighter jets at full capacity, most of which are V-19 torrent fighter jets.

However, no one noticed that there was a different fighter mixed in this group of fighters——

ARC-170 heavy fighter!

This is a new type of fighter jointly developed by Yingkang and a small engineering company called Yaguang. It is a new generation of heavy-duty multifunctional fighter used to replace the Z-95 Headhunter fighter in their production line. This kind of fighter has the same name as Inkang - always only the best fighter.

At present, ARC-170 is undergoing final tests and test flights, and it is expected that it will be equipped with the Grand Republic Army on a large scale in a few months.

However, this ARC-170 fighter is different from the standard model. This fighter has removed the two powerful laser cannons on the left and right wings, removed the rear turret, and replaced it with a more powerful engine and mobility.

The original three-seater fighter jet has now been reduced to two seats, and in the two cockpits, there are respectively a girl in a red robe and a girl in a blue robe.

More than 200 fighter jets of the Republic Fleet bravely rushed to the terrifying fleet of thousands of vulture robot fighter jets, and the tragic air battle began.

"Ah, sister, sister, it's started." Luna Huan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a tactical eyepiece with a microphone and put it on Duo casually, and said.

"I'm ready, Huan." Luna Meng still looked cold, she was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and the tactical eyepiece had already been meticulously put on her head.

"Hahahahaha!! Let these people experience our world!" Luna Huan laughed loudly, but there was an arrogance that violated harmony in the silver-like laughter.

Drip, drop, drop! !

Almost at the same time, whether it was the warship of the Confederation of Independent Systems where Admiral Trench was located, or the internal programs of each of the vulture robot fighters that attacked, there were alarm signals!

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of eyes of warship operators, pilots, and commanders on both sides, the number of fighter jets launched by the Republic instantly turned into thousands! !

Moreover, every fighter was clearly recorded by the radar system!

Even the most powerful electronic systems think that these fighter jets...

it is true! -
