One after another, the engines of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were turned on, and a large number of shriveled corpses of Republic Justice Fleet crewmen were discharged from the hatches. Then the shields were opened, and the guns were turned to fire at the Republic Fleet led by Octavian Grant.
The Rookery Hook-class battleship piloted by Murte arrived at the Blade Fleet nearly 40 minutes early, which became the decisive factor in this battle.
Although the Rookery Hook-class battleship collided with the Plague, more than 50,000 Gran Marines still swarmed out to snatch the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser of the Blade Fleet. In the next step
Within an hour, more than 15,000 Marines recovered from minor injuries sustained in the collision and joined the battle.
In total, they captured more than 150 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers.
Later, when the main fleets of both sides arrived at the battlefield, most of these battleships were still warming up their engines, but there were still 7 or 8 battleships involved in the battle. As time went by, the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that joined the battle were still
There will be more and more, and this is a snowballing advantage.
The fleet led by Admiral Trench and Octavian Grant was in a melee on the side of the Blade Fleet. Both sides refused to retreat even a step and sent a large number of marines to land on the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser to seize the ship without any care.
At the same time, inside the Plague, the ending was also ushered in.
The bruised Jedi Master Ith-Koth was leaning against the corner. Only in this way could he remain standing. His hands holding the lightsaber were also shaking. Several gunshot wounds on his arms made it almost impossible for him to swing the lightsaber.
More than a dozen B-2 super battle robots raised their right arms to reveal blaster machine guns and pointed them at the desperate Jedi Master. There were more Gran soldiers standing far away. They did not dare to get too close because
Previously, this desperate Jedi Master had killed at least a hundred of them.
But at this moment, they who could have easily shot Is-Kos into a sieve did not fire, but moved to separate sides to make a way out.
Darth Malthael, wearing a black cloak, strode up, came to him, and said coldly: "Master Yis-Kos, surrender. The Galactic Republic has ushered in another defeat. Very soon.
Failure quickly will become a habit for you."
Is-Koth raised his dull eyes and looked at Darth Malthael without saying a word. He just used all his strength to raise his lightsaber and made a crooked sword posture.
"Ha..." Darth Malthael smiled coldly, raised his hand, and Is-Kos's lightsaber flew out of his hand and landed in his hand, "Capture him."
Seeing that he didn't have his lightsaber, the Gran soldiers who had been cowering just now became fierce and fierce. They rushed forward violently, pushed Is-Kos to the ground, and handcuffed him.
Darth Malthael kept sneering from the side, "Capturing alive one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order is definitely big news, right?"
He knelt down and gently slapped Isi-Kos on the face with the back of his hand. However, Is-Kos had almost fainted and had no reaction at all.
Darth Malthael stood up and ordered: "Tell Trench to speed up! I don't want to see the little rats of the Republic continue to covet my blade fleet!"
…
"Your Majesty the Governor, the separatists have occupied more than three-quarters of the Blade Fleet warships. Now these warships are just warming up their engines for the time being. But if this continues, we may suffer extremely serious losses..."
On the Republic fleet flagship, the Chasseur-class battlecruiser USS Elder, the adjutant came over and said to Octavian Grant.
"How many battleships have we actually determined that we can capture?" Octavian Grant asked.
"Currently we have boarded 37 warships, and most of them are still fiercely contested, but I must say that the situation is not optimistic. The separatists have brought many people." The adjutant said.
Octavian Grant nodded solemnly, "The Separatists have three Rookery Hook-class battleships, and their transport capacity far exceeds ours...the abominable Givenians!"
He punched the console hard.
If the Givens hadn't been pretending to be crazy in the Galactic Council and setting up hyperspace blockers in their galaxy, he wouldn't have rushed over with only a formation of Jaeger-class battlecruisers.
We need to bring some Cheer-class assault landing ships!
He took several deep breaths and then said: "Notify all Marines that we have 20 minutes left. After 20 minutes, we will break away from the battle and leave here immediately!"
The adjutant nodded, stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"
…
The battle in the last 20 minutes was brutal. Because the Galactic Republic only brought a Jaeger-class battlecruiser, their marines totaled less than 20,000 people. Compared to the Fourth Civilization, which brought three Rookery Hook-class battleships,
An army of 300,000 is totally insufficient.
Even if the Marines of the Republic are very elite clone soldiers, in such an environment, there is still a huge numerical disadvantage of 1:10, and they cannot make full use of them.
In fact, Tang Xiao ordered the Granites to dispatch the 300,000-strong army instead of stuffing 600,000 robots into the Rookery Hook-class battleship. This was because he considered that in this complex environment of boarding operations, the number of intelligent biological soldiers would be very high.
Processing and strain are much more flexible.
Before the main fleets of both sides arrived, Severance Tann's remaining fleet snatched 6 Dreadnoughts, and Shen Jon's men landed on the other two Dreadnoughts.
Afterwards, the Marines in the Rookery Hook-class battleship brought by Murte in advance landed on 170 of the remaining 192 Dreadnought-class battleships. Even if it was too late to completely control the battleship, they at least locked the hangar door after entering the battleship.
Death is possible.
Afterwards, the main fleets of both sides arrived, and a large number of landing forces began to fight for it. All warships were boarded, of which the Marines of the Galactic Republic forcibly broke in on 37 ships.
The battleships that were forcibly broken into were basically because the Galactic Republic had mastered the key to the battleship. Therefore, if the Marines of the Fourth Civilization did not have time to completely take over the battleship system, the Republic could directly control the battleship to open the hatch and welcome the landing troops to enter.
So in the final stage of the battle, the Galactic Republic actually only fought on 39 of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers.
After listening to the analysis of the fleet staff, Admiral Trench made the decision to open fire on all Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were hopeless to recapture.
At the same time, Governor Octavian Grant of the 20th Army of the Galactic Republic also issued an order for the entire army to retreat.
They were able to take away only 15 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. The remaining 178 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were controlled by the Fourth Civilization. During the battle, 7 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were destroyed.
The battle for the Blade Fleet ended in such chaos.
After the Galactic Republic fleet retreated, Tang Xiao ordered all fleets to repair on the spot, establish a hyperspace navigation beacon here, guide the engineering fleet to enter, and perform maintenance and repairs on all the stolen Blade Fleet warships.
And the most important thing is to restart the Titan battleship Plague, which has been completely paralyzed and cannot even sail normally - this terrifying steel monster that once became a nightmare for people across the galaxy is already dying.
