When the fourth civilization launched a general offensive on the ground battlefield, the space battlefield also ushered in a turning point that mattered victory or defeat almost at the same moment.
The Indoctrinators killed everyone inside the Republic fleet flagship, leaving the massive Inquisitor-class battlecruiser an empty shell.
According to battlefield regulations, the Republic Fleet immediately appointed a new fleet commander and continued to fight under the leadership of the new commander.
But the new commander is still frightened, and has not yet recovered from the previous fear and shock. It seems that he still has illusions about the life and death of the previous commander-in-chief, and he did not order the immediate destruction of the prosecutor-class battlecruiser!
When he finally made up his mind and prepared to let his fleet destroy the Prosecutor-class battlecruiser, it was already a step too late. The two Kesov-class battlecruisers launched more than ten surprise landings in advance before launching an orbital airdrop.
The ship passed by and was filled with folded B-1 combat robots and battleship operators.
These assault landing ships sent a total of more than 500 operators to the Prosecutor-class battlecruiser. Forget it if this was a Jaeger-class battlecruiser. After all, the Prosecutor-class was a battleship from the previous era, and its operation method had long been semi-standard.
Public status.
These operators quickly recirculated the battleship's shields. When the closest Flame Jaeger-class battlecruiser turned the muzzle of its turbolaser cannon to fire here, the extremely powerful deflector shield blocked the entire battleship.
Most of the firepower!
Immediately, the Prosecutor-class battlecruiser opened fire, firing at the surrounding Republic battleships while flying quickly towards the fleet formation of the Fourth Civilization.
The battle for Terminus was already broken, literally.
Whether it is the personnel, equipment, cities, or fleets in space on both sides on the ground, they are all in shambles and can basically move.
In this battle, the trump card played by Wilhuff Tarkin, the governor of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic, was the Inquisitor-class battlecruiser.
This kind of 2,500-meter-long large battleship basically never leaves the core circle of the Milky Way. Together with the 4,000-meter Governor-class and the 8,000-meter Commander-class dreadnought, these three super-large warships form the core circle of the Galactic Republic.
A solid line of defense.
Although the combat effectiveness of these three types of ultra-large battleships is far inferior to that of the Jaeger-class battlecruisers, they are still large enough. After the war began, the Republic continued to modernize and modify these backward large battleships, especially the installation of a large number of breakthrough Lu
With the weapons and equipment restricted by the San Treaty, the combat capabilities of these super-large warships have been much improved than before.
With a large enough body, larger shield capacitors, stronger turrets, more fighters, and faster engines can be installed. Without considering cost-effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of these battleships has skyrocketed.
Therefore, at that time, a 2,500-meter-long Inquisitor-class battlecruiser arrived on the planet Terminus with the help of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's connections.
Such a battleship is almost a dimensionality reduction strike. The exhausted Fourth Civilization Fleet is simply unable to fight against this behemoth. Matt Horner's last resort is the Cole-class battlecruiser's 40-meter-caliber super-matter electromagnetic gun, and
The powerful Fire Cloud series missiles of the Martha-class heavy cruiser.
Finally, now, it is the Republic's fleet's turn to experience the sense of oppression brought by such an Inquisitor-class battlecruiser!
Although this prosecutor-class battlecruiser was severely damaged in the previous battle, its firepower is actually not as good as that of a Jaeger-class battlecruiser, but it is big enough! It has 4 times more firepower than the Jaeger-class.
The deflector shield supplied by the shield capacitor is almost desperate!
You must know that the Republic warship does not have a powerful super-matter electromagnetic gun, nor does it have a fire cloud missile!
How long will it take to fire one shot after another with a turbolaser cannon?
What's even more desperate is that because it was used as the flagship before, the prosecutor-class battlecruiser is now located at the core of the Republic's fleet!
The offense and defense of both sides reversed almost instantly!
Although almost every ship of the Fourth Civilization's fleet was seriously damaged, the Republic fleet's formation had been completely disrupted. They didn't know whether they should deal with the Inquisitor-class battlecruiser blooming in their center or continue to concentrate their firepower on the confrontation.
The dilapidated fleet of the Fourth Civilization.
But soon, another option was presented to them...
After gaining an absolute advantage in ground battles, the Fourth Civilization fighter jets that were previously used for combat inside the atmosphere rushed out of the atmosphere and joined the space battlefield.
And in the orbital defense system on the eastern outskirts of Fermoth City, there is now a terrifying scene.
Countless zombies pounced on the remaining defenders. They had no emotions and no knowledge of pain. They only had a desire for the flesh and blood of the living and the need to spread the virus.
During the previous battle, several Lickers sneaked in, attacked and infected hundreds of staff who were resting during their shifts, and then a zombie wave broke out.
After learning the news, Major General Xiao Guanghua, commander of the Fourth Civilization Army, made an immediate decision and dispatched a team of commandos to board an APOD-33 transport plane directly into the orbital defense system. They used special pheromones to attract the zombie swarms in other directions to continue attacking the defenders.
Then they took advantage of the chaos and occupied the control center.
The 10-meter-caliber cannon of the orbital defense system adjusted its direction and pointed it at the sky. The computer instantly calculated the flight trajectory of the cannonball in the atmosphere, combined with the effects of the planet's rotation, revolution, and eccentricity, and then determined the impact point to be the Republic Fleet. Decisively
Fire!!
And the last straw that broke the Republic fleet also came from the ground.
Two hours after the Fourth Civilization launched its orbital airborne operation, the administrative center of the planet Terminus was attacked by more than a dozen Fourth Legion soldiers with five Inchori Avengers. They also used pheromones to induce a large number of zombies and
Lickers join the siege.
Finally, after 10 minutes of resistance, all officials in the administrative center, including the planetary governor, surrendered.
The soldiers of the Fourth Legion entered it and started a bloody massacre regardless of the other party's pleas, leaving only the planet's governor alone, asking him to issue a surrender notice to the entire planet.
As soon as the surrender notice was issued, many bounty hunters who stayed on the planet immediately defected, and even many local troops laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Some bounty hunters were frightened to see the Fourth Legion soldiers and Incholi Avengers falling from the sky like murderous gods, and they all expressed their willingness to join the fight against the Republic.
So under the supervision of soldiers of the Fourth Legion boarding the ship, hundreds of bounty hunter spacecrafts took off and joined the space battlefield.
From the time the Indoctrinators logged into the Inquisitor-class battlecruiser to the time the Kesov-class battlecruiser launched its orbital airdrop, these two steps of a life-and-death strategy only took 5 minutes.
These five minutes sealed the victory, allowing the Fourth Civilization to come back from the brink of defeat, and then win the battle in less than three hours!
There is luck, sacrifice, hard work, wisdom, and bravery, but more importantly, the spirit of never giving up among the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Civilization.
