2151. Breaking into the warship.
The battle was now coming to an end. Both sides had used up their last bit of strength. The remaining four Hunter-class cruisers were still firing at Venom Fang. Venom Fang's shield had been breached, and every time a high-power laser beam hit the ship, it would cause a series of explosions. Poison Fang could still rely on its thick armor and large body to resist the attacks. Even if the hunter-class cruisers' firepower could break through the armor, they were still unable to penetrate the compartments and reach the fatal areas. But if this continued, Poison Fang would be heavily damaged sooner or later!
The fighters of both sides were also wiped out. Although the Republic fleet had prepared a second wave of fighters, they were all crippled in the hangar along with the hunter-class cruisers by the two fatal electromagnetic pulse cannons. The remaining four hunter-class cruisers also sent their remaining fighters to provide support, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
But on the other hand, Poison Fang was also in a miserable state. After the shield was breached, the warship's hull was no longer protected. The turrets were destroyed one by one by the Republic fighters, and with each turret destroyed, Poison Fang's firepower weakened a little. The firepower fired from the warship was no longer as powerful as it was at the start of the battle. It was rather sparse.
It had to be said that Tang Yu had already performed exceptionally well to be able to do this when he was caught off guard by the Republic fleet's absolute advantage. But now was not the time to relax. There was still one last step left — escape! To escape, he had to take care of the Republic fighters around him and think of a way to force the last four hunter-class cruisers to retreat, widen the distance, and then jump into hyperspace!
To do this, he only needed to take care of all the Republic fighters. Only then could he safely fire the electromagnetic pulse cannons and force the last Republic warships to retreat! [Note 1]
The situation was developing in Tang Yu's favor. Now that all the fighters at the bottom of Poison Fang had been annihilated, most of the remaining had escaped. On the starboard side, Master Plo Kong's plane had been crippled by the electromagnetic pulse cannons. Without a leader, the fleet was quickly scattered. All that was left was the fleet of fighters temporarily under Ahsoka Tano's command on the port side!
Tang Yu controlled more than 100 V-wing fighters, all of which had been implanted with the Black Sun code by Tang Yu. He also controlled the navigation robots on the fighters and were now engaged in a final battle with Ahsoka Tano's fleet on autopilot!
At this moment, Anakin Skywalker's fighter jet streaked across the starry sky like a meteor, flying towards Poison Fang at high speed! The mecha dragon and Tang Yu were hot on his heels. Particle beams and laser cannons fired relentlessly. Anakin's fighter was riddled with holes, but with his Origin Force perception, he was able to avoid the most lethal damage.
It was very close! Anakin saw it too! Inside this incomparably huge warship, there was a network of blood vessels that flowed like a network!! That was the internal energy supply network of Poison Fang! He could see that the Venom Fang Battleship was preparing to recharge its electromagnetic pulse cannons, but there was still some time before it could be fired. More importantly, the hyperspace engine was also charging! That was the worst thing that could happen!
Anakin instantly made a decision. He had also spotted a relatively dense area in the energy transmission network! Right there! The port steering engine!
The Delta-7 was picking up speed, but Anakin had no intention of slowing down. It looked like he was going to crash into it!
Tang Yu also realized Anakin's plan. In that instant, he saw Luke Skywalker, the Death Star! It was too late to adjust the Automaton Dragon's equipment again. He could only chase after it and fire continuously!
At this moment, Anakin fired the proton torpedo! At this distance, Tang Yu could only watch helplessly as the torpedo drilled into the bottom of the Poison Fang's engine from the side of the battleship! Tang Yu, who had studied Poison Fang quite thoroughly in his boredom, immediately realized that this was a very important energy node of Poison Fang!
Just like how a Hunter-class cruiser had a large hangar, powerful firepower, heavy armour and thick shields, but mobility and the hangar at the top were its fatal weaknesses, Poison Fang too had its own weaknesses. The huge battleship was agile in steering, fast in speed, thick armour, strong shields, and the electromagnetic pulse cannons on both sides could turn the tide of a battle in an instant. But Poison Fang's weakness, apart from its relatively weak conventional firepower, was the energy transmission network that covered the entire battleship! It was no joke. In the original plot, Anakin Skywalker's soul was penetrated by the proton torpedo. It seemed that he could not escape this fate.
The proton torpedo exploded into a dazzling cloud of protons on Poison Fang's body, resulting in a devastating explosion! Then, a series of explosions erupted from the interior of Poison Fang! The flames from the explosions were very obvious, and traces of the network could be seen.
At the moment of the explosion, Anakin charged straight into it without slowing down! He controlled the laser cannon to fire continuously, destroying a piece of broken armour in front of him, and then charged into the compartment inside Poison Fang!
Tang Yu could not care about anything else for the time being. He controlled the AT-10 to ram into the compartment as well! He knew Poison Fang very well. Although the destruction of this compartment would cause damage to Poison Fang, it was definitely not fatal! Moreover, he could see Anakin's plan — the hyperspace engine! He wanted to paralyze Poison Fang's hyperspace engine so that Poison Fang could not escape!
The current situation was very clear. The battered Poison Fang was no match for the remaining four Hunter-class cruisers, but as long as they drove away the enemy's fighter jets, Poison Fang could fire its electromagnetic pulse cannons at any time and escape! And Anakin would definitely not let that happen!
Tang Yu controlled the AT-10 to ram into Poison Fang. The surroundings were already a sea of fire, with debris and debris spewing out into the vacuum of the universe outside. The sealed compartment had been sealed shut, but there was a large hole in it, as if it had been cut by a welding torch. It was obvious that this was the work of a Jedi Knight's lightsaber. Tang Yu raised his hand slightly, and the damaged machinery around him automatically began to repair itself. The inflatable airbag that had been stuck before also instantly unfurled, plugging the hole and restoring the cabin's pressure.
He continued to advance along the ruptured pipe, and wherever he passed, the ruptured pipe would close up and the damaged machinery would repair itself. His mechanical domain extended out, and almost at the same time, he began to stabilize the damaged warship with his own strength. However, the mechanical domain could not be rebuilt. In the violent explosion earlier, too many parts and equipment had been blown away, and this was something Tang Yu could not do.
"Inform the Quarren engineers to repair the warship immediately, prioritize the recovery of the hyperspace engine!" Tang Yu ordered into the communicator, then changed the channel. "How's it going on your side? General Grievous. "
"Hmph! I'll cut those two bugs into pieces in no time! "General Grievous replied angrily.
Tang Yu snorted coldly and hung up. From what he knew of General Grievous, his reply just now actually showed that he was in a terrible predicament with the two Jedi Knights.
Now, he also knew the names of the other two Jedi Knights who invaded the Venomfang, Kitt Festus and Ace Koth! He also immediately found out about the two from the original plot. Kitt Festus had a high appearance rate, had experienced countless bloody battles, and survived until the end before being killed by Order 66. Leaving him aside, Ace Koth was definitely a great enemy! That was because he was a member of the Twelve Jedi Council!!!
Among the twelve members of the Jedi Council, not a single one of them was a simple character! Ace Koth was the same. Because he was a Zabrak, born on planet Dathomir. If one were to categorize the various galaxies in the world of Star Wars, then Dathomir would definitely be a 'high-magic world'! Because the Force there was so strong that it almost surpassed most of the planets in the Milky Way.
From Dathomir came many powerful characters and powerful forces, from Dathomir, to Asajj Ventress, to Savage Opress, to Matriarch Tarzin and her Dark Night Sisters. They were all characters that could intimidate an entire region. And Ace Koth, who came from Dathomir, had one of the best Force Affinity in the entire Jedi Order. He was also one of the last people to survive Order 66 that exterminated all Jedi Knights!
"You really think highly of me, Palpatine. You actually sent so many strong people to deal with me and the Venomfang … Well, I've learned a little in the past few days, so I'll meet you all! " Tang Yu muttered to himself. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and slammed his palm on the wall of the warship!
At that moment, the Mechanical Domain instantly spread out! When Tang Yu reopened his eyes, there was no longer any focus in his gaze, nor were there any pupils. All that was left were streams of data, countless streams of data! Binary, quad, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, all sorts of streams of data flowed continuously! At that moment, in Tang Yu's eyes, the huge Venomfang Battleship had already become an incomparably huge aggregation of data streams!
[Note 1]: In fact, the Venomfang Battleship that appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars was based on the German battleship Bismarck of World War II. In terms of combat objective, process, and ending, it was very similar.
