As the orbital defense system on the satellite began to fire on the Republic fleet, the battle for the Eriadu system finally came to the real core battle!
Planet Eriadu!
Without any pause, Severance Tann led the fleet in an offensive formation to pursue and attack Wilhuff Tarkin's 18th Army Fleet!
Such opportunities are rare, because Wilhuff Tarkin is also a strong opponent, and he rarely allows his fleet to reveal flaws.
And now is the best opportunity!
Because Tarkin had misjudged the time of the satellite's fall, he had moved his fleet too close to the satellite's orbit. After the Eriadu satellite surrendered, the fleet of the 18th Army was directly exposed to the fourth enemy.
Under the firepower of the civilized fleet.
Every time the 50-meter-caliber super-matter electromagnetic gun on the bow of the Cole-class battlecruiser is fired, it will bring an extremely dazzling beam of light, and with the devastating impact, it will completely tear apart the retreating Republic battle array in front!
The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser also deployed its heavy turbolaser cannon and kept firing!
The Republic fleet continued to retreat, and after paying a heavy price with the destruction of 7 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and more than 30 small and medium-sized battleships, it finally returned to the vicinity of the heavily armed space station in the high orbit of the planet Eriadu.
This is already their last line of defense. If they retreat further, it will be the atmosphere of the planet Eriadu!
Severance Tann's offensive did not stop at all. She had no intention of reorganizing the fleet, but continued to launch attacks.
However, under her superb command skills, the fleet of the fourth civilization is indeed making adjustments.
First, all damaged fighter jets were evacuated from the Sova-class aircraft carrier and sent to the Eriadu satellite by transport ships for repairs in factories on the ground with more complete facilities.
All wounded soldiers were also transferred to satellite hospitals to receive better treatment.
The occupation of the Eriadu satellite was a decisive result for the Fourth Civilization's Raiders. This meant that they could put most of their logistical supplies and maintenance work on the satellite.
There are complete factory facilities on the satellite, which are much more complete than those on the battleship;
Being down-to-earth on the satellite is of great significance to the physical and psychological recovery of wounded soldiers, and their morale has also been improved;
The storage space on the satellite is almost unlimited, so there is no need to fill every corner of the battleship with supplies;
There are large enough airports and spaceports on the satellite to better support the takeoff and landing of fighter formations;
Fixed defense systems on satellites can also support their battles...
Moreover, the two Dawn-class motherships previously deployed near Galaxy 5, the gas giant planet Tarastra, also followed the fleet to the vicinity of the Eriadu satellite, and directly entered the satellite synchronous orbit to support it.
Battle of the entire fleet.
This series of combat deployments was completed by Severance Tann without weakening the frontal offensive!
The 18th Army Fleet led by Wilhuff Tarkin was under strong pressure from beginning to end!
20 hours later, as the Fourth Civilization fleet and army completed their redeployment on the Eriadu satellite, the forces of both sides now had only one last thing left - a head-on decisive battle!
All the battleships of the Fourth Civilization were pressed in, and they attacked the planet Eriadu with almost full firepower!
After repelling the 18th Army Fleet, the Fourth Civilization Fleet also began to bomb the planetary shield of the planet Eriadu. The Ogre-class torpedo cruiser was fully loaded with super-large proton torpedoes and launched a series of attacks on the planetary shield. Intermittent attacks!
Explosions continued to explode on the planet's shield, and the proton cloud formed a ball of blue energy light. From the ground of the planet, it seemed as if there were countless bright stars in the sky.
Carrying the residual power of occupying the satellite, the Fourth Civilization Fleet has already laid siege to the planet Eriadu!
Only then did Wilhuff Tarkin realize that something was wrong. He felt that the Separatist fleet seemed to be very 'lasting' this time. Even if they had been fighting for more than 30 hours, their fleet was still strong!
"Scan the energy readings of the Separatist warships immediately! Compare them with those before the war!" Wilhuff Tarkin, who was commanding on the planet Eriadu, ordered loudly.
The sensor control department immediately took action to scan and calculate all Separatist warships.
After a while, an engineer came over and said: "We conducted scanning calculations based on the 30 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers and 10 Cole-class battlecruisers of the Separatists... Based on the attack records and hit records since the war began, And based on the battleship data intelligence we have, we calculate the time and capacity of their shield recirculation. It can be judged that the total shield value of these battleships exceeds 41% of the total amount it should have. Your concerns are correct, Governor. Your Mightiness."
Tarkin's eyes were extremely sinister, "I knew it! The Separatist warships seem to be more difficult to destroy than normal this time! Are they using a new type of deflector shield?"
"Judging from the frequency response, it's unlikely. Their shield capacitor should be constantly being charged from the outside," the engineer said.
"How difficult is this technically?" Tarkin frowned.
"At least it's something we can't do now, because this is equivalent to precise wireless energy transmission with an error of less than 1 micron, and the loss produced during the energy transmission process is extremely small. This is how the separatist warships should continue to provide those The warship being hit by concentrated firepower is replenishing its shield energy," the engineer said.
"If that's the case, then won't we never be able to defeat their battleships?!" Tarkin said in a deep voice.
"This energy replenishment should have an upper limit, but it is indeed very troublesome. Because it means that the Separatists can very flexibly restore the shield of each warship that is under concentrated attack, which will greatly waste the firepower of our warships. Output." the engineer replied.
"No wonder! Moreover, this method is very restrained for high-frequency and low-power fighter swarm attacks! If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before our fleet is defeated!" Tarkin slammed his fist on the table.
In the past two days, this table has been hammered many times by him.
"Actually, we scanned even worse things." The engineer seemed to think Tarkin wasn't angry enough, so he added.
"Say!" Tarkin's anger was about to overflow.
"In the Separatist fleet, there seems to be a strange resonance between the engines of those battleships."
