Chapter 1142 The Second Battle of Pandora (Part 1)
On the command deck of the Legion flagship Revenge Soul, there is a council of ten people, and everyone is listening carefully.
"They thought we were exhausted, which made them careless, so as long as our entire fleet gathered together, carried out jumping gang operations and took down the leading warships."
Under the shaking light of the semi-cold flame, the ring of ritual echoed the grunt of agreement, and in the darkness above them, the chaotic totem was faintly visible.
"Although we have the soul of revenge, the chances of winning head-on firefighting are still not high. Our advantage lies in our military strength. Almost all the troops of the empire have been put into battle on the surface of the planet. Their fleet must be extremely empty, and we have more than two thousand warriors!"
“Mr. Irongrasper said it well.”
A Chaos Lord echoed.
The other person thought for a while and said cautiously:
"This battle is quite risky. After all, the enemy is large and we are small. The empire also has many main battleships and monsters like the Rock Fortress. I'm afraid only planetary killers can deal with this thing."
Iron Graspell did not grin, and in the past he would always respond with a smile.
"The boulder is the lifeline of the Dark Angel and will not move lightly. Besides, there is no risk without fighting, so I naturally have an emergency plan."
Since he said so, the Chaos Lord did not insist anymore, but lowered his head.
“As you wish.”
This time everyone was so obedient, mainly because Abaddon once again conveyed his instructions through the Chaos Wizard - everything obeyed Iron Graspell's arrangements.
In the next two standard days, the Black Legion used long-range birdbu to track the mobilization of the Empire fleet and obtain the complete fleet organization as much as possible.
Irongrasper estimated that after the war started, about one-third of the Imperial Navy's warships could be put into combat immediately, most of the rest were performing galaxy patrol missions and could not arrive at Pai Shangxing in time, and some were repaired in the naval base.
But the real exact figures are still difficult to estimate. The only thing that is clear is that even if only one-third of the navy is added and the fleet power of the four battle groups is combined with the power of the fleet, the Empire's resources on Pai Shangxing are still far greater than those at hand by Iron Graspell, and the enemy's main ships are in better condition.
The Soul of Revenge is indeed very powerful, but a lonely Queen of Glory class has not yet been able to deal with several battleship-level main battleships at the same time. The Wuxiu Angry was already seriously injured during the escape and could only provide long-range support for the battle situation.
Then we can only let the main battleships, Heaven Death Storm, Bloodblade and Claws be responsible for the main attack. Even so, these large warships cooperated with the Revenge Soul, and Irongrasper had the courage to launch a battle.
In addition, considering the comparison between the enemy and me, Irongrasper chose the tactics that the Black Legion is best at: frontal raid, firepower cover for the main ship, and jumping teams to attack with all their strength.
The main battleship is responsible for the core offensive, and the cruisers and frigates on both wings are responsible for assisting. Each cruiser must aim at the enemy's flanks and directly break into the enemy's formation, interfering with the enemy's deadly firepower.
Once in the battle, he will order a large-scale torpedo and gunboat raid.
The previous void battle has taught Iron Grasper enough lessons, and his only advantage is close combat.
But such a combat risk is self-evident. Once the jump to the gang fails, all participants will perish.
However, Irongrasper believed that there would not be much Astarte left in the fleet. He wanted to insert the sword into the enemy's throat and twist it continuously until the opponent's eyes burst out.
No one disagrees with this plan.
As the plan was formulated, the sword blade was also sharpened.
When the timer jumps to the sixth standard day, the Black Army fleet begins to act.
The orbit has been calculated, corresponding to the expected trend of the Imperial Navy, and the fleet gradually increased the speed of the main-level plasma thruster.
Soon, the trigger signal was distributed to the frigate, warning them to pay attention to the next action of the core warship.
The plundering ships in the periphery reported enhanced live-action sightings: there was an imperial patrol fleet within 900 kilometers, and these readings had been fed back to the pre-set attack-type contemplator.
Three hours later, the order for a full attack was issued, and most of the warships began to turn slowly.
Five hours later, the attack path was sent to the ships on all lines - battleships, cruisers, frigates, and destroyers.
Jump the troops to obtain the target position and seal the launch tube.
It seemed as if I had a premonition that the subsequent scene was surging wildly in all directions, and the arcs of bright matter whipped the disgusting abyss.
Two minutes later, the leading flagship entered the Imperial Patrol Fleet's field of vision.
The Black Legion fleet appears!
This alarm spreads at the fastest speed in the Pandora Galaxy's Imperial fleet, remote radio communications, and star speaker reports, all of which describe the same thing!
The soul of revenge appears!
Monk Lothar, who served as the commander of the fleet, received the report immediately and immediately made combat deployment. Faced with such a notorious beast, even the most skillful hunter had to be extremely careful.
After all, the name of the Revenge Soul is too loud. The Empire is not without the Queen of Glory, but few can reach the height of the Revenge Soul.
As an ancient ship built by the Martian Mechanical Cult during the M30 period, the Soul of Revenge is also the largest one among the Queen of Glory-class battleships, as famous as the Conqueror, Iron Blood and Herakfinel. More importantly, it is also the flagship of the former traitor Horus Lupecao.
The most famous incident is the story of Horus's brother, who had personally boarded the warship and fought with his beloved son to death, and finally ended the rebellion and sent himself to the Golden Throne. Before that, Horus had personally killed his brother, San Gilles, the primordial body of the Holy Blood Angel.
It can be said that this warship witnessed the most critical historical turning point of the empire. A god and two demigods fell on that ship, not only unprecedented, but also no one to come.
When he learned that the soul of revenge appeared, Lothar reported the matter to Soshiyan immediately. After a brief discussion, he became the commander-in-chief of the entire empire and controlled all the imperial naval forces, including the Dark Angel Fleet.
Lothar was also not vague and summoned all the nearby imperial navy as soon as possible.
At the same time, all the large warships in orbit were mobilized. He did not intend to fight with the Black Legion near the planet, because this would give the other party a chance to evacuate the ground.
Losa was very clear that the enemy's first target must be the troops evacuating the ground. As long as the enemy is stopped, the battle will be won by more than half.
Soon, the empire's joint fleet arrived at the edge of the star system, and lined up in a defensive formation, evenly distributed on the front path of the Black Legion to prevent enemy ships from slipping by.
