2088, Battle of Kristovsis (Medium)
In the Republic assault fleet, Anakin Skywalker was on the bridge of the flagship, staring at the fleet of the Independent Star System Confederation ahead.
"The army invading Kristovsis this time is also from Planet Protector?" Anakin turned his head and asked.
"Yes, Planet Protector." Admiral Woolf Yularen, who was standing beside him, nodded.
"I must avenge what happened to Planet Jabim!" Anakin's eyes flashed with the light of hatred. His eyes were even a little bloodshot. Just a week ago, he had just experienced a crushing defeat on Planet Jabim. The corpses of dozens of his fellow Jedi Warriors were still fresh in front of him.
This bloody and crushing defeat had left a deep impression on the young Jedi Warrior. He should have been proud and high-spirited, but Planet Protector had immediately taught him a harsh lesson. Although Master Yoda had repeatedly told him that failure was inevitable, and that he would only grow after experiencing failure, Anakin still could not accept it. He could not accept that the price of his growth was so bloody.
However, in comparison, the encouragement from the esteemed President Palpatine was more comforting. The President had told him to stand up from where he had fallen. Since Planet Protector had given him a defeat, then he had to turn his anger into his own strength. Trampling Planet Protector beneath his feet was the true way to grow.
Admiral Woolf Yularen looked at Anakin with some worry. "Don't let anger control your heart, General Skywalker."
Anakin turned back to look at him and said word by word, "The last time I heard that was on Planet Jabim."
Admiral Yularen sighed softly. He turned to the clone operator in front of him and said, "The enemy doesn't have many warships. All of them are lined up in an inverted triangle formation. Make use of our firepower advantage and break their blockade first! Then cover the Space Combat Jets to destroy the enemy's Rukri Hook-class battleships! "
"No! We should charge in as fast as we can and make use of the advantage of our warships to destroy them all at once! "Anakin raised his hand to stop Yularen and said loudly.
"That's too reckless! The Rukri Hook-class battleships have powerful firepower. This will cause us unnecessary losses. "Colonel Yularen shook his head.
"We don't have time to waste with the Separatist fleet here! Every minute that passed was another minute of suffering for the people of planet Christophsis! Thousands of innocent people will fall to the Separatists' blades! "Anakin snapped." Pass the order! The entire ship moved forward at top speed! Get within 50 kilometers of the enemy's fleet before taking off! "
General Yularen could only nod. Currently, the Grand Republic Army was under such a dual command system, but in reality, with the Jedi Order's transcendent status, they were still the true decision-makers most of the time. Even if Yularen was an admiral, and Anakin was just a Jedi Knight.
Following Anakin Skywalker's order, the propellers at the rear of the 20 Hunter Class Cruisers began to emit a blinding light. Then, under the powerful propulsion of the hypermatter engine, they began to dash forward at high speed.
The enemy fleet remained motionless, while the Rukri Hook-class battleship began to rotate slowly. When the distance between the two sides was about 200 kilometers, the warships on both sides opened fire simultaneously! Bright turbolasers drew long streaks of light as they shot towards the enemy warships!
Destructive laser beams continuously struck the warships, but were all blocked by the powerful energy shield of the warships. In front of the warships, the energy shield emitted waves of energy ripples as it was activated. Proton torpedoes and shock missiles were also launched in a dense barrage. The close-range turrets on the warships also locked onto these incoming missiles under the control of the advanced fire-control system and began to intercept them. Near the warships, the destroyed missiles set off a series of violent explosions, but these explosions could not threaten the energy shield, only making the battlefield even more tragic.
As the Rukri Hook-class battleship rotated, it opened fire with its powerful turbolaser cannons. Laser beams shot out like raindrops, pouring down on the Republic fleet. The firepower of this warship alone was comparable to two or three battleships! In this exchange of fire, the warships of the Independent Star System Confederation constantly adjusted their positions, allowing the warships whose energy shields were heavily damaged to hide behind to recharge.
And the most terrifying thing was that the Vulture fighter jets that had taken off would even take the initiative to block the turbolasers fired by the Republic warships! Soon, more than 100 fighter jets were destroyed by the cannons of the battleships, but this also meant that more than 100 powerful turbolasers did not hit their original targets!
Meanwhile, the Republic's Hunter-class cruisers, which were advancing at maximum speed, could only rely on their own energy shields to withstand the enemy's firepower. It was as if they were exchanging blows with the Confederation's fleet.
"The Lightning's shield has been pierced, the front armor has been hit!"
"The Iceberg's shield has been pierced, the main cannon has been destroyed!" The orderly kept reporting the situation. Anakin looked at the screen and saw that the shields of the three battleships at the forefront had been pierced, and the turbolasers kept hitting the bodies of the battleships. Large amounts of flames spewed out from the places hit, only to be extinguished in the cold space.
Admiral Woolf Yularen shouted, "This can't go on! Even if we can break through the enemy's blockade, we'll suffer heavy losses! If the Separatists have reinforcements, we'll be surrounded! "
However, Anakin asked the clone soldier controlling the sensors beside him in a deep voice, "What's the distance between the two sides now?"
"107 kilometers!"
"The enemy's fighter jets haven't charged up, but are circling around our battleships! They must be waiting for us to take off! As long as our fighter jets can't threaten the Rukri Hook-class battleship, with the firepower of the battleship, we'll be hit even harder! "Admiral Yularen said loudly.
Anakin's eyes turned cold as he barked, "The first wave of fighter jets, take off! Y-wing bombers, on standby! "
The hangar landing platform at the top of the battleships immediately opened up, and hundreds of V-wing fighter jets took off! However, the Confederation fleet's warships immediately opened fire at the battleships. The V-wing fighter jets that had just taken off and had yet to reach their maximum speed could not escape, and more than 20 of them were instantly destroyed!
Boom! One of the V-wing fighter jets that was hit by the cannon fire lost control, drawing an arc in the air as it flew towards the hangar landing platform. Although the clone pilot inside tried his best to stabilize the fighter jet, he could not stop it from crashing into the other two fighter jets that were waiting to take off. Boom! Boom! The burning fighter jets detonated the ammunition and aviation fuel piled on the deck. After a series of explosions, the entire hangar landing platform of the battleship was instantly engulfed in a sea of flames!
"The Cruiser Thunder's hangar landing platform is on fire. The deflector shield on the top has failed, and the battleship has temporarily lost combat ability!" the orderly reported to Anakin.
At that moment, seeing the Republic fleet's fighter jets in disarray, the Vulture fighter jets circling around the Rukri Hook-class battleship immediately swooped in like vultures smelling rotten meat!
"Retreat! We can't bring our remaining forces to reinforce planet Kristovsis! "Admiral Rulf Yularen shouted.
Anakin Skywalker nodded with a gloomy expression. With his approval, the Republic fleet immediately turned around, and the V-wing fighter jets that had successfully taken off also bravely charged towards the Confederation fleet, using their lives to create an opportunity for their own warships to escape from the battlefield.
