"These bombers are all flown by Jedi Knights?" Thrawn looked solemn, "Are you sure?"
"No ordinary person or robot can fly an aircraft to such a speed. Only we can use the Force." Agri said coldly.
"It is impossible for the Kingdom of Dawn to have this number of Jedi Knights, and even those who have slipped through the Jedi Order will not choose to serve for the Kingdom of Dawn." Thrawn said calmly.
However, even though he said this, he had already begun to issue instructions to the staff department to adjust the fleet formation.
One thing that is very different between him and other generals is that he will not wait until something is truly and completely confirmed before making a decision. For example, right now, although he is not sure whether there are two hundred Jedi Knights on the opposite side, he only needs to be sure.
If the other side sends such a fleet to intercept, they are fully confident that they will be completely destroyed here, so this is enough.
Under his command, although the Imperial fleet made a gesture of rushing towards the Chiss-led fleet for a decisive battle, in fact, it had already begun to prepare for retreat.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!! The Chimera Empire-class Star Destroyer shook violently, and the soldiers in the control center shouted loudly: "General! Our ship's shield has been broken, and enemy bombers are bombing our ship's engine!"
"
"How is the hyperspace jump calculation going?" Thrawn asked instead.
"It still takes 20 minutes to prepare." Agri replied.
"Abandon the ship and move to another battleship." Thrawn whispered to Agri, "Don't interrupt the hyperspace jump process. Can you do it in 20 minutes?"
"Do you think we have no chance of winning?" Agri asked.
"Even if there is still a chance of winning, we shouldn't gamble. This is the battlefield chosen by the enemy. We have no reason to persist and evacuate as soon as possible to preserve our strength." Thrawn said.
"Then, without further ado, let's set off." Without saying a word, Agri walked towards the outside of the bridge.
…
On the sky-level drone aircraft carrier, each drone corresponds to a linker and a sacrificial group. The 12-member sacrificial group constantly sings hymns and continuously provides its own spiritual and spiritual energy sources to the linker, and the linker
The latter directly binds his soul to the Holy Land unmanned bomber.
It was equivalent to the bomber now becoming her body. Any thought she had could be instantly received by the bomber and acted upon immediately.
Coupled with the spiritual enhancement of the sacrificial group, this allows every linker to exert a control level comparable to that of a Jedi Knight!
In the center of the entire spaceship temple, there is also a chief priest. She is responsible for connecting the spiritual energy and spirit of all linkers to form a combat network and coordinate operations at all times.
120 sacrificial groups performed rituals on their respective altars and controlled unmanned bombers to attack. When the situation was critical, the chants became more intense and loud, and when the bombers were leaving the battle, the chants gradually became soothing.
At this time, one of the linkers suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and blood spurted out from her ears and nose. Her 12-member sacrificial group was also swaying around at this moment.
The unmanned bomber they controlled was shot down! The medical priests who had been on standby immediately went to check and found that the linker was dead, and most of the priests were seriously injured, and 2 people were killed. These medical priests immediately carried out emergency treatment and rescued the injured.
Transfer to medical room.
The linker and the bomber merge into one. If the bomber is shot down, the linker's soul will also be severely damaged, and the chance of survival is slim.
Some bombers were hit by anti-aircraft fire. Although they were not shot down, they were also severely damaged. The Linker was also injured, but still had half a life left. The backup priests immediately stepped in to take over her control.
and drove the damaged bomber back.
On the fleet flagship, Vice Admiral Lin Nanyi looked at the battlefield, his eyes full of admiration, "The Holy Advent Sect is indeed powerful... Your fighter jets are completely comparable to the Jedi Knights. They also use the Force.
Control, your combat method is completely different from that of the Archon-class aircraft carrier..."
"The path to unity is vast and boundless, so naturally there will be different understandings." A priest from the Shenglin Sect standing next to Lin Nanyi said calmly.
"That's good." Lin Nan nodded. He was always paying attention to the holographic combat star map. It can be seen from the battle situation on the star map that the imperial fleet has obviously discovered the powerful combat capabilities of the sky-class drone mothership. They
They are trying to launch a full-scale assault to destroy the two drone carriers.
But Lin Nanyi obviously would not give them this opportunity. He ordered all warships to maintain their formation and not give any opportunity to the imperial warships.
Now, the Kingdom of Dawn's troops in the Chiss Territory are stretched thin, and if the battle can be solved by drone carriers, he does not want to have a fleet battle.
No matter what, it was an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
Although there are countless ways to kill Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the Kingdom of Dawn navy, if you want to fight one-on-one, there are really not many Kilometer-class battleships of the same level that can defeat Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
Including the currently most advanced Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, they can at best compete with the Empire-class Star Destroyers at a 50-50 ratio. Other second-generation battleships, including the Cole II-class, can no longer defeat the Empire-class in a one-on-one battle.
If you continue to move up, only the Apocalypse-class battleships can kill the Imperial-class battleships relatively easily.
There is no way, the size of the Empire-class Star Destroyer is too big. The length of 1,600 meters makes it almost two to three times the size of all the Kilometer-class Star Destroyers currently in service in the Kingdom of Dawn. The energy level this brings is so high.
More obvious.
Of course, if you include combat efficiency and construction costs, that's another story.
Under the current situation, if the Imperial Fleet actively rushes towards its own fleet, then this is definitely the best result. There is no need to confront the Imperial Fleet head-on, and it can also continue to make detours to give the Holy Bombers enough time to bomb.
However, as the battle progressed, Lin Nanyi finally discovered something was wrong. Because as the imperial fleet continued to charge, their formation did not expand into an attack formation, but always maintained a mobile formation. This is unreasonable! "No! They want to run away!!" Lin Nanyi said loudly, "Order all ships to open fire with all their strength immediately! Chase the imperial fleet! Don't let them run away!!"
But his order was still a step late. The imperial fleet fired a feint in the direction of Lin Nanyi, then decisively turned on the hyperspace engine, and disappeared without a trace in an instant despite the bombardment of Shenglin bombers.
Only three Imperial-class Star Destroyers were left here because the hyperspace jump was interfered with and the jump failed.
"Asshole! He planned to escape from the very beginning! Did he see through my strategy of showing weakness?" Lin Nan frowned.
However, he didn't care much because he also successfully blocked the imperial fleet.
Because he has been playing chess with Thrawn in the air for the past few days. Thrawn's actions are unpredictable, and he has no time to set up a hyperspace blocker in advance. Therefore, it is very difficult to really block the opponent somewhere.
It is difficult to do, after all, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer is also famous for its durability.
However, due to Thrawn's aggressive advance this time, he had the opportunity to shoot down more than half of the warships of the Imperial fleet in this blocking battle, including 5 Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Lin Nanyi is still very satisfied with this result.
.
Now it is basically certain that this force of the Galactic Empire will return to the mainland and will not continue to pose a threat to the Chiss Territory. Then, they can concentrate on clearing out the rebel forces in the Chiss Territory.
However, if Lin Nanyi knew who the person who escaped from his hands this time was and what he was about to do, maybe he would order all the warships to attack frantically from the beginning. No matter what the outcome, he would try to destroy the opponent as much as possible.
Completely stay!
…
At the same time, on October 1, 11 BBY, the Kingdom of Dawn’s commercial combined fleet arrived at the defense line of the planet Bilbulin.
The Governor of the Ninth Army of the Galactic Empire and the King of the North, Dunn Wessex, personally visited the headquarters of the entire Northern Theater Command and the planet Palin Minor, which is also the capital of the Ninth Army, to supervise the war.
He initially tried to bring Admiral Gilad Pellaeon back from the Inquisition, but failed. The Inquisition refused to release him, insisting that the Imperial fleet's failure in the Battle of Malarian Alliance, Girard Pellaeon
Lane needs to take full responsibility.
Dunn Wessex could only go to Darth Vader for help. Fortunately, there was nothing bad between him and Darth Vader. After explaining the defense situation in the north, Darth Vader agreed to rescue people.
.Anyway, Darth Vader doesn't have a good impression of the tribunal controlled by black holes. He just takes this opportunity to disgust black holes, and he is very happy to do so.
However, this matter is still relatively complicated, and the failure of the Mararian Alliance Battle is also on the table. At this time, it will take some time to rescue Gilad Pellaeon. And Darth Vay
At the moment, Da is gathering the fleet on Fangduo planet, preparing to launch a counterattack. He currently does not have the energy to return to the central area of the empire to deal with Gilad Pellaeon's affairs.
Dunn-Wessex could only appoint Vice Admiral Kendal Ozzel as commander and go to the planet Birbrin to organize defense.
Vice Admiral Ozir had no record of success before this. He was a member of the famous Ozir family in the core circle. During the Clone Wars, he served as a lecturer at the Coruscant Naval Academy. He had a rich theoretical foundation, but had almost no practical experience.
.
At present, Dunn Wessex can't find a suitable commander for a while, so he plans to give Kendall Ozil a chance. Anyway, when talking with Lieutenant General Ozil before, Dunn Wessex
Chris was quite impressed by his set of naval combat theories.
On October 3, the vanguard of the Commercial Combined Fleet entered the Birbrin planet, but was immediately blocked by complex hyperspace channels and dense asteroid belts.
Vice Admiral Kendall Ozil immediately organized his fleet into 10 high-speed assault formations, mainly light cruisers, and attacked from all directions. As long as there was any trace of the commercial coalition fleet, he would immediately go to intercept it and never allow the commercial coalition to do so.
Any chance of the fleet gaining a foothold.
After a few days, I don’t know what the effect will be, but at least it is still in full swing.
The Commercial Combined Fleet didn't know what they were planning, and their desire to attack didn't seem to be strong. They just continued to send small groups of troops to harass, and the positions they appeared were different every time.
But soon, Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil found the pattern in their actions. He took the initiative and destroyed the light cruisers sent by the Commercial Combined Fleet to harass during an encounter. These included the Undertaker-class light cruiser and the Osprey.
There are 20 light cruisers built, which is considered a small victory.
This makes Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil complacent about the current situation. He believes that as long as this continues, the defense line of Planet Billbrin will be extremely stable.
At this time, because Jedi knights appeared in the north, the Imperial Inquisition sent senior inquisitor Volytar and six inquisitors to come.
These Inquisitors are independent of the chain of command. Their only combat order is to kill Jedi Knights, for which they have complete authority to act independently.
On October 4, Vice Admiral Thrawn led the fleet back to the North and went to the planet Palin Minor to conduct a combat report against Dunn Wessex.
Thrawn was driven out of the Unknown Star Territory in disgrace. This result made Dunn Wessex a little unhappy, but because he had brought a brilliant victory after all, Dunn did not blame him.
Dunn Wessex originally planned to let Lieutenant General Thrawn continue to be responsible for the defense of the planet Bilbrin, but he gave up this idea. After all, Thrawn was once the deputy general of Gilad Pellaeon, and he was very responsible for the defense line.
The overall situation is better understood, and Lieutenant General Kendall Ozell is currently doing a pretty good job on the defense line of Bill Breen, and there is no reason to replace him now.
Thrawn was also a lieutenant general, so there was no reason to serve as Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil's adjutant. Therefore, Dunn Wessex asked Thrawn to take over Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's work and take full charge.
Command work of the overall northern defense line.
Currently, the overall war situation in the Galactic Empire is very dangerous, and the Imperial military currently has high hopes for the counterattack plan of the Death Squadron in the hands of Darth Vader, so their orders to the north are mainly defensive.
As long as the Kingdom of Dawn's fleet is not allowed to threaten the core circle of the galaxy, then everything is fine.
However, in order to cooperate with Darth Vader's counterattack plan, although the Northern Territory just suffered a defeat, it still saved a lot of battleships, so reinforcements will not be sent to the Northern Territory.
Even though Dunn Wessex applied for this many times and even met with Palpatine in person, he still did not get permission.
On October 7th, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The Commercial Combined Fleet suddenly changed the combat style of the previous small fleet trial, assembled a large fleet, and raided the planet Bilbulin!
Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil immediately mobilized his troops, tit for tat, and the battle broke out again outside the planet Bilbulin!
