Augustus made a decisive decision: "The Federation is killing civilians wantonly, and we are the only ones who can stop them."
"Turn around." Renault immediately issued an order to the entire fleet: "Start the ship's gun battery, calibrate the aiming parameters, and fire at all Federation warships that jump into the Helsinn system."
"Sir, the enemy's intention is obvious. They want to hold us back. If the fleet is stuck in the quagmire and cannot get out, other federal squadrons will rush to Halsain and surround us." The speaker was an adjutant of Renault.
He was the leader of the local federal resistance on Antiga Prime and was known for his calmness and inhumanity.
"Then they have to be able to hold us back," Renault said.
At this time, Augustus rushed to the bridge of the Norad II, with Lieutenant Colonel Pryor and Kerrigan following him on the left and right.
When Augustus arrived at the bridge of the Norad II, the huge battleship was turning its bow to fire at the federal warships attacking the refugee ship. As one of the few battlecruisers with a defense matrix, the Norad II
It can withstand more enemy fire.
In an instant, countless flashes and brilliant fires emerged from the deep black sky. Nearly forty unparalleled human steel giants were fighting in the synchronous orbit of Helsain. Thousands of gun batteries were lined up, creating a shocking sense of oppression.
.The bright orange laser beams all over the sky flashed across the sky, like a dense network in space.
A space station that survived the Zerg invasion was shattered into pieces under the gunfire of the Federation warships, erupting with a horrifying flash of light. The spaceships escaping from the space station were submerged one after another in the dense firepower network of the Federation fleet.
The shock wave caused by the nuclear explosion triggered by the space station's reactor completely tore apart the remaining support structures, frames and domes of the giant alloy steel in the next few seconds.
When he saw the space station falling apart with his own eyes, Augustus sighed again. There will be more than 50,000 refugees and staff, and their once-scorching hearts will become part of the cold space.
The Federation Navy has sufficient reasons and evidence to indicate that the space station is a military base of the rebels, or that the unscrupulous people there have already betrayed the Federation. They can also bite back and say that the rebel massacre in Helsain lasted for two systems.
, the bestiality of these inhumane anti-government activists is appalling.
The flames of thousands of battleship turrets and the tail flames of space fish intertwined in the deep space, and large numbers of battlecruisers and fighter planes joined this massive battle. Even during the Guild War, such a large fleet among humans
War is rare in the world.
As the flagship, the Norad II bore the brunt. A large orange laser beam that could tear apart the fortress hit the green shield field hard, causing deadly ripples composed of plasma flow.
Parallel to the Norad II is the Leviathan-class battlecruiser Thunderbringer. The plasma that bursts out of strong light is burning its thick steel shield, like sparks splashing on the ship's boat.
The old Leviathan class and most of the Behemoth class battlecruisers in service rely solely on the thickness of their armor to withstand the ferocious fire of enemy ships. Every battle will leave indelible scars on their hulls.
The barrage of federal warships covered the sky, and the firepower of the Revolutionary Army was not far behind. The value of the shells thrown by both sides every second is inestimable.
Those flexible Wraith fighter planes and smaller assault boats shuttled between the firepower nets of the battleships, and just a little brush was enough to turn them into a fleeting fireball. But even the battlecruisers could not
Ignoring these powerful fighters carrying long-range air-to-air missiles, they have already replaced the old Avenger fighters and become the mainstay in human fleet battles.
Standing in front of the porthole of the bridge of the Norad II, Augustus's face was lit up from time to time by a series of dense laser cannon barrages that roared towards him. This sudden war was bloody and tragic, with countless red and hot people.
The plasma was shot into space, bursting out with infinite shining light, and still filled the mountains and plains with torches in the dark night.
"They are still attacking refugee ships. The channels of these ships are full of wailing. Are all the federal commanders deaf?"
The speaker was Colonel Jasper, the captain of the Norad II. He came from the planet Jos and came from a wealthy farmer family. Jasper had gone to Tarsonis Prime to study, so he was used to seeing Tarsonis.
The main city's revelry and singing and dancing.
In the past, Jasper had angered the wealthy children of Tarsonis because of a woman. No one knew what he had gone through, but when Augustus saw this man, he had already escaped from the Revolutionary Army in the United States of Umojan.
He was recruited into the army as a fleet soldier at the recruitment site and was promoted to captain due to his outstanding performance in many battles and his outstanding talents.
In the Revolutionary Army, any talented person has no shortage of promotion opportunities. In the Federal Army, nobles and those who have been promoted to high positions based on their qualifications limit the promotion space of civilian officers. The Federal Army has many incompetent people who are jealous of their talents.
"There are three ships full of refugees escaping from the space station." said the Norad II second officer, who was sitting on the command chair and staring at the outer space sensor monitor screen on the other side. The second officer is mainly responsible for the security and radio communications on the battlecruiser.
, he will also take over the first mate's position when he is absent.
"The Wraith fighter planes are much faster than these transport ships, and laser weapons can catch up with them in the blink of an eye." Jasper has blond hair and dark green eyes, and his captain's cap is decorated with a gold-plated revolutionary army.
The whip-ring emblem and the golden ears of wheat on the ship's insignia sparkled in the bridge lights.
"The speed of life and death."
This is the consistent image of the captains of the Revolutionary Army. They are not slovenly pirates, but respected battleship captains. The officers in the Revolutionary Army are generally young, and they have almost grown up with this rebel army.
At the beginning, no one thought of how the Korhal IV uprising would end, and no one expected that they would achieve such achievements. But no matter what, this army originally composed of Korhal IV people
Gathered with people from all over the world, the war of blood and fire in the Koprulu sector is gradually shaping it into what Augustus envisioned on Korhal.
"I can hear the voices of the refugees," Kerrigan said. "They're screaming and asking why the human warships are attacking their own people."
"Help them," Augustus said.
"Increase the shield energy output and move to area 5,71." Captain Jasper, who understood clearly, ordered: "Countdown to five seconds——"
After a dazzling flash, the Norad II moved sideways to the three refugee ships that were narrowly dodging the gunfire. The huge shadows obscured these small spacecraft and the gunfire directed at them.
There was another commotion that shook the entire bridge, and missiles trailing red tail flames attacked Norad II overwhelmingly.
"It's not just these." Kerrigan continued: "There are nearly a hundred refugee ships scattered in the geostationary orbit of Halsain, and they are all targets of Federation warships."
"Then let's go to war and let them know that their real enemy is the revolutionary army."
"Teach the Federation a lesson." Augustus' cold gray eyes scanned the hologram projected on the main screen of the bridge. On it, green holographic projection light and shadow formed thirty-seven battleships distinguished by red dots.
There are countless missile paths drawn by supercomputers on the cruiser.
"We haven't hurt them yet, so that these scum will know that when they see the revolutionary army in the future, their reaction will be to take a detour."
"Haha, we are no longer what we used to be." Colonel Jasper said.
At this moment, the portraits of Jim Raynor and a dozen Revolutionary Army battlecruiser captains appeared on the home screen one after another. They were all wearing crisp command uniforms, and some of them looked even younger than Augustus.
Some are old captains with gray beards, holding retro-style pipes in their mouths. From time to time, they fill the pipes with shredded tobacco and puff out smoke.
"Swan said the Hyperion's Yamato guns are ready to fire." Augustus said in his coldest tone ever: "Whatever his reasons, let the gun crews take action now."
"The design of the Yamato gun is still not perfect. If we want the main gun to fire, we must turn off other systems that consume a lot of energy, such as shields. And if we fire before completing the test, the effect will definitely be unsatisfactory." Renault said.
"Now is the test." Augustus said coldly.
"I just want to see Red Squadron's flagship reduced to scrap."
"All the remaining battleship captains, you have only one mission, which is to attract the firepower of the Federation battleship and cover the Hyperion's fire." Augustus said this, and the red light of the cannon outside the bridge was fired.
His face was as sharp as a knife or an axe.
"Everyone, we always firmly believe that this war that will destroy all lives is just. The fate of 800,000 revolutionary soldiers and tens of millions of people depends on every order you give."
"Yes, sir."
The war between the fleets on Helsain entered a fierce state in just a few minutes. There was a sea of fire in the synchronous orbit, and the wreckage of the battleships formed a huge ring made of metal.
Regardless of the outcome of this war, this area will be frequented by private salvage dealers and interstellar scavengers for a long time. Even a small fragment of a battlecruiser is worth a lot, no matter what.
, there are always people willing to pay high prices for maglev motorcycles and other souvenirs built from these "legendary" battleships.
The fleets of both sides continued to approach each other in a continuous firefight, with tens of thousands of fighter planes and spaceships fighting back and forth between them.
At 17:00 on the ship, Augustus could almost see the crimson deck and blue federal star flag of one of the battleships of the Red Squadron. The other commander must also be standing on the bridge watching Augustus
Both, these two generals who have never met and may never meet again have no personal grudges, but every order they give now is to sink the opposing battleship.
No one cares how many people will die after the enemy's battlecruiser is destroyed, because it is either them or themselves who will die.
"The Hagen's bridge command island has been penetrated, and the vice-captain has taken over from Captain Roan to command the Leviathan battleship." As Kerrigan reported to Augustus, the Norad II
The monitor screen showed that one of the battleships in the fleet, the Hagen, was in a severely damaged state.
This battleship was dug out by Warfield from the ship museum in the edge world Abaddon. At that time, the Federation Navy also planned to transform this old battleship, which had been in service for many years, into a prison ship to make the best use of it.
Now, even though the Revolutionary Army engineers had modified the Hagen to thicken the ship's hull, it was still crumbling like an old man in the hail of bullets when it was deliberately attacked by federal warships.
However, at the same time, two other Federation battlecruisers were kicked out of the battlefield by the Revolutionary Army battleships. When Augustus looked towards the dazzling flash of light on the bridge, the Revolutionary Army Behemoth-class battlecruisers were
The Dusk of the Gods and the King's Wrath worked together to severely damage a Gamma Squadron warship. A space torpedo that hit the bow of the ship opened a horrific wound on its wide and majestic bridge.
Augustus just watched all this intently, and occasionally issued new orders to various battleships and squadrons through the communication system.
At 17:03, the Hyperion's Yamato cannon was fully charged. The muzzle of the cannon, which accumulated nuclear explosion energy, shone thousands of times in a few seconds. The light released in an instant was like a small star. You can imagine
You know how shocking the roar of the Yamato Cannon would be if it were inside the atmosphere.
The momentum of the Yamato Cannon when it fires is shocking, but the energy beam it emits is not that huge. It is just a flash of red light, like a red comet moving at an incredible speed. It is a focused and compressed nuclear explosion.
, the energy suddenly released is enough to destroy a city.
In the time it took Augustus to blink, the Yamato cannon bombarded the Crimson Squadron's flagship, Giant Jotun.
This behemoth-class battlecruiser, regarded as a model by the federal military industry, adopts the latest generation design. Its armor is also the most outstanding of this era. It is said that the design goal is to be able to resist the plasma cannons of the protoss.
.
But this focused, compressed and nuclear explosion triggered an unprecedented nuclear explosion when it touched the Jotun. The legendary battleship, known as the pride of the Federation and the Throne Battleship, died after a bright flash of light.
A huge fireball erupted, breaking into two sections like a cracked biscuit, and the remaining fragments scattered around like a shower of stars.
With just one blow, the Hyperion destroyed the battlecruiser that the Federation Navy was proud of, and greatly frightened other Federation battleships, forcing them to retreat briefly.
The channel of the Revolutionary Army Fleet was filled with cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Renault was so excited that he placed one hand on the sharp edge of the console and made a roaring sound.
"Are the refugees safe?" Augustus asked Kerrigan.
"They all evacuated Helsinn's geostationary orbit, and several of the battleships also accepted part of it." Kerrigan replied.
"Contact the Star Shuttle, the flagship of Tassadar's executive fleet." Augustus said at this time.
"Tell the executive officer that we need their support and deterrence to the Federation." He then added: "Take the Hagen and we will evacuate Helsinn immediately."
“Destination setting Waima Sara, where it all begins.”
