The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

782、An Abnormality Happened

After this period of continuous fighting, continuous reinforcements, and continuous losses, the fourth civilization now has 84 warships in its fleet on the planet Terminus.

Among them, there are 7 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, 15 Cole-class battlecruisers, 8 Higra-class battlecruisers, 4 Generosity-class communication frigates, 8 Martha-class heavy cruisers, and 3 Rucrehook-class battleships. , a total of 45 large warships.

In addition, there are 25 guard-class light air defense destroyers, 12 brown bear-class heavy destroyers, and 2 Xingzi-class maintenance drone motherships.

On the Republic side, there are 110 large and small warships. Among them, the large warships include 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships, 3 Invincible-class battlecruisers, 1 Prosecutor-class battlecruiser, 10 Hunter-class battlecruisers, and 15 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, a total of 34 ships.

The others are all small and medium-sized warships such as CR-70 frigates, Corellian DP-20 gunboats, Karak-class light cruisers, and Arquitens-class light cruisers.

In general, the strength of the two fleets is close, and no one can do anything to the other.

In fact, under the command of Matt Horner, the fleet of the original Fourth Civilization had already severely damaged the fleet of the Republic and had an advantage. However, under the command of the Governor of the 18th Army, Wilhof Tarkin, the Republic relied on its strong industrial strength to forcibly pull back the soon-to-be-defeated Republic fleet with refueling tactics.

Then fill it directly with a large number of warships and officers and soldiers, delay the time with life and steel, and give the Republic fleet a chance to gather more warships.

After suffering greater losses, the Republic Fleet was able to gain a firm foothold in the outer space of the planet Terminus. But in the words of Wilhof Tarkin, he can completely accept the loss of 5 Jaeger-class ships for 1 Cole-class ship, but the question is, can Dawn Star?

Not to mention Dawn Planet, considering the final result of this Clone War that will last for 3 years, even the Confederation of Independent Galaxies can't afford it!

It was under such circumstances that the battle between the two sides became such a meat grinder. Almost everyone is not optimistic that Dawn Star can win this battle - because they are facing the Galactic Republic.

And now, Matt Horner is about to break this situation.

He wants to win!

As the 40-meter caliber supermatter electromagnetic gun of the Cole-class battlecruiser fired, the sun-like light was lit up, and the general attack began!

The fleets of both sides are constantly approaching, using their strongest firepower to keep firing!

The fighter jets of both sides also took off, flying around the battlefield like locusts, pouring out missiles and proton torpedoes.

The fleet of the Galactic Republic occupies the low-earth orbit of the planet Terminus as usual. On the one hand, it blocks the possible orbital bombing by the Fourth Civilization Fleet, and on the other hand, it also uses the firepower of the orbital defense system on the planet.

In the past, the Fourth Civilization Fleet's offensive would be much more cautious, but now, their offensive is crazy! It doesn't care about the defense methods of the Republic Fleet at all, there is only one word, attack!

While the battle in space was unfolding, in the core area of ​​the ground battlefield, in the western suburbs of Fermos, the capital of the planet Terminus, the Fourth Civilization Army finally began to attack!

In the previous battle, they almost threw out almost two-thirds of the battle robots, just to match the battle plan. So now, almost all of the attacking ones are army fighters from the Fourth Civilization.

The clone army of the Galactic Republic immediately put into defense. In the past few days, they increased the number of clone soldiers defending the Fermos battlefield to 8,000. Almost three-fifths of the clone army on the planet have been deployed here. Coupled with more than 10,000 mercenaries, their strength can be said to be very sufficient now.

The 180mm siege guns of the siege tanks roared, the cluster rockets launched by the Banshee fighter jets rained down, the Wraith fighter jets fought in the sky, and the mastodon armored personnel carrier roared into the battlefield full of army soldiers.

This is a brutal contest!

But the battle suddenly changed from the very beginning.

When the fourth civilization army launched an attack, those mercenaries who were brave and fearless when they resisted the attack of the robot army before broke up and ran away!

This run actually didn't matter to the elite clone soldiers, they had long been used to fighting surrounded by powerful enemies. However, the most deadly thing is that once these mercenaries escaped, large gaps were left on the battlefield!

Not only the gaps on the ground, but also gaps in the air defense zones in charge of the mercenary spaceships!

The army of the Fourth Civilization seems to have known this result a long time ago. Almost all their armor and mechanized forces are now concentrated in the direction of those mercenaries!

These mechanized corps interspersed at high speed, passing through the positions of the mercenaries in a flat manner, directly forming a pincer attack and going straight to the back of the clone army, and went straight to the city of Fermos!

And the Fourth Civilization Air Force, whose pressure was suddenly reduced, immediately seized the opportunity to launch a fierce air strike on the artillery positions of the Republic Army.

All of this was naturally arranged by the Hutt gangster, Oruba Gorensla.

With his influence in the underworld, it is absolutely impossible for those mercenaries to sell their lives and violate the contract to betray the Republic on the battlefield, but it is absolutely fine to give them an extra sum of money and let them flee.

Being able to escape on the battlefield, not only will no one be punished, but also get another bounty? Where can I find such a good thing! What's more, this is an order from the Hutt gang boss, which is much more effective than any administrative order or military order.

Those mercenaries may not listen to the Republic, they may not listen to the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, but it is absolutely impossible not to listen to the Hutts.

The clone army found that the situation was not good, and they immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner, trying to break through the encirclement before the encirclement closed, and returned to Fermos City to start street fighting.

These elite fighters have indeed done it.

The clone soldiers first gathered their own armored troops to block the assault of the mechanized troops of the fourth civilization through hard fighting. With almost the limit of human physical fitness and deep instinctive fighting consciousness, they forcibly withstood the attack of the mechanized troops of the fourth civilization. It bought precious time for the follow-up infantry units.

They began to retreat back to Fermos City one after another. Now most of the civilians in this city have been evacuated, and almost every building has been temporarily reinforced and has become a fortress.

Here, according to the plan, it will become another meat grinder, a meat grinder that will drain the blood of the Fourth Civilization Army!

However, the commander of the Republic did not notice what those mercenaries brought with them when they came, and what they left behind when they fled...

Including at this time, the commander of the Republic also did not notice that the mass launcher built by Matt Horner on the satellite to launch metal garbage, following the rotation of the satellite, has now pointed to the place where the warships of both sides strangled. battlefield.

That's right, the time and place to launch the attack have been carefully calculated.

Of course, the commander of the Republic would not care about this low-power mass launcher that can only be used to throw some metal garbage towards the planet. Because this thing poses no threat to the battleship.

But they were wrong again, the mass launcher was not filled with shells.
