1617, reinforcements arrived
Countless swarm drones are flying in swarms in space. They are fast and deadly, constantly looking for targets, and then swarming up, firing countless plasma rays, firing and attacking until the target is completely destroyed.
destroy!
The fighter jets of the Galactic Republic simply cannot catch up with these swarm drones. Even if they enter a trailing attack position, they are often thrown away within a few shots.
After that, these fighter formations gave up on direct confrontation with these drones. They adjusted their strategies and began to focus on driving them away. They launched missiles and lasers from farther away, forcing these drones to lose their targets in the constant evasion.
But this tactic can only delay death.
Swarm drones are still wreaking havoc on the battlefield, destroying fighter formations, attacking battleships, and breaking away in one blow, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to counterattack!
In fact, there are many ways to fight against these swarm drones. In "StarCraft", the Zerg's confrontation method is simple and crude. A direct backhand is a super double. If you come over with 10,000 drones, I will directly throw ten
Thousands of bugs are coming. And the way humans fight is to cover it with firepower! Use the powerful firepower of the Valkyrie missile frigate to directly form a large area of devastating missile saturation attack, leaving no gaps in the entire airspace!
Unfortunately, the Galactic Republic currently does not have either method. It relies on a numerically inferior fighter formation to chase the swarm drones. The result is actually obvious.
In "StarCraft", if you use the ghost fighter to play with those drones without attacking the aircraft carrier, you will know how miserable it is...
…
At this moment, on the bridge of the Republic fleet flagship, the Commander II-class dreadnought, the USS Will.
"I need an answer! How come such a small drone can launch such a powerful weapon!
" Gideon Tarkin yelled.
"General, we have gone through a lot of scanning and observation, and currently we can only confirm that those drones use plasma rays to instantly transfer huge energy by accelerating the flow of charged particles to the speed of light. First of all, we must be sure that these drones
The weapon system of the aircraft is more advanced than we imagined, because we also have similar weapons, but it is simply impossible to achieve such a volume/power ratio." An engineer came over and said.
"No matter how advanced it is, can it be so advanced that it can rely on such a micro-drone, and it can actually shake our battlecruisers?" Gideon Tarkin asked coldly.
The engineer shook his head and said: "This is the point, the abnormal volume/power ratio. We have also detected the existence of wireless links between these drones and their motherships. It is possible that long-range energy transmission can allow their weapons to obtain
A short-lived increase...but this is too incredible, so it can only be a guess."
"Remote energy transmission with tens of thousands of drones at the same time? Is this technically possible?" Gideon Tarkin asked.
"If you asked me to build such a system, then I would tell you to look for it in science fiction novels." The engineer answered straightforwardly.
Gideon Tarkin took a deep breath, said nothing, and just looked at the holographic star map.
Through the picture projected from the holographic star map, it can be seen that their fleet is now about to collapse. 4 Jaeger-class battlecruisers were destroyed, 11 were severely damaged, and almost all the remaining ones were damaged to some extent.
Their fighter formations suffered even more heavy losses. Almost the entire battlefield was littered with fragments of V-wing fighters and V-19 fighters, and the mutilated corpses of pilots were also scattered everywhere.
Now that the energy of the swarm drones has bottomed out, the motherships have begun to be recovered in batches for charging and repair. However, the Republic fleet cannot relax because the warships of the Principality of Dawn have already attacked and the two sides are engaged in a fierce artillery battle.
.
Super-matter electromagnetic guns, particle light spears, and Fire Cloud series missiles, these powerful long-range firepowers are terrifying threats that the Republic's fleet needs to face now.
In order to gain an advantage in the artillery battle, just now, Gideon Tarkin had to order the fighter formation to continue taking off to attack the Principality of Dawn fleet.
But the hidden danger is that when swarm drones attack again, how much combat capability do these exhausted pilots have left in front of the swarm?
The only consolation is that the 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers finally persisted under the attack of swarm drones, but now how long they can hold on, Gideon Tarkin is not optimistic.
"Send the order! Advance the Will! Move towards the front line of the battlefield!" Gideon Tarkin made up his mind.
"General! Under the current battlefield situation, if we advance rashly, there is no doubt that the separatist firepower will concentrate on our ship!" The adjutant was shocked.
"Reinforcements will arrive soon! Before that, we must not be defeated! Move forward!" Gideon Tarkin shouted.
"Yes!" The adjutant did not dare to disobey and immediately conveyed the command to the controller, "Right rudder 11! Turn immediately! Increase engine output by 40%! Go forward!"
The huge body of the Commander II-class dreadnought began to turn. The 8,000-meter-long long body was like a giant. It was the undisputed overlord in this battlefield!
The powerful main gun fires continuously. These turrets are deployed in a circle around the battleship. Each time it fires, the beam emitted will light up the entire battleship.
Without any surprise, a piercing alarm sounded on the console of the Will. This was a signal that the fire control radar had been targeted and a main gun-level weapon was being charged!
"Left rudder 7! The bow of the ship sinks 12 degrees!" The adjutant continued to issue instructions, causing the warship to begin to evade.
Sure enough, two particle light spears shot past the battleship in an instant. Even if they did not hit directly, the terrifying energy contained in them still caused a burst of energy fluctuations in the battleship's shield.
There are more artillery fire concentrated here, and more plum beams are fired! However, the Commander II-class dreadnought is an 8,000-meter-long giant ship after all. In the short time the battleship burst in front, it was hit by three particle beams.
The light spear hit, and although the shield system alarmed frantically, it still resisted.
After those swarm drones completed charging, their offensive on the battlefield became crazy again. They began to focus on the Commander II-class dreadnought, which invisibly reduced the pressure on other warships.
An hour after the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, white light finally flickered in the cosmic space, and then 140 battleships left hyperspace and appeared in the Yago-Dur system!
These include 40 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 100 small and medium-sized battleships.
Governor of the 20th Army of the Republic, Octavian Grant's strategy began to show results. A large number of Republic warships had been assembled in advance bases built in the surrounding unmanned systems in advance, and now it was very convenient for reinforcements to join the battle!
