2271. Lendilee Aerial Battle (1)
Planet Lendilee Standard Time was 10 PM. There were still 29 hours before the arrival of the Independent Star System Federation's fleet.
On the bridge of the Republic's Special Envoy Fleet's flagship, the Hunter Class Cruiser, Sandy, a small device was placed on the desk of the fleet's commander, Admiral Yang Dodonna. More than half of the device had been charred, and it was basically impossible to tell what it was originally.
"The technical department has already done a thorough check on this device and eliminated all possible dangers. It's not a bomb, nor is it a computer virus. It also doesn't have any eavesdropping function. It only has one function, and that is to erase the data of the space robot it is in at a fixed time, "an officer said at the side.
Dodonna frowned. "Only erasing data? If it's only erasing data, why would it cause such a result? Allowing it to control one of our main cannons and fire it? "
"We can only infer that. In other words, this robot must have its data erased before it can do anything else. In other words, it's possible that it has been reprogrammed, "the officer replied, clearly knowing quite a bit of technology.
"Reprogramming requires erasing data? What's the program inside the robot now? "Dodonna asked.
"It's completely blank, General. The other party's hands are very clean … "the officer replied.
General Dodonna's expression turned ugly. He shook his head and said, "No, this is their style … Planet Protector!! All the robot remains recovered from the battlefield where the Planet Protector's robot army participated in the battle are all blank!! There's no doubt that this was done by them!! "
"But … if it's just one shot at Lendilee's defense fleet, is there a need to go through so much trouble?" a staff officer asked doubtfully.
General Dodonna stared in the direction of Lendilee's defense fleet in the distance. His gaze was a little gloomy. "I don't know … but right now, the most important thing for us is to ensure the safety of our own fleet! If the other party can do something to our flagship, then they can do it to the other battleships!! No matter what happens on Lendilee's side, if we can't even control our own battleships, then there's no way we can fight this battle!! "
"Our technicians are currently investigating every robot in the fleet. However, there are a total of 20000 robots of various types on the fleet's 20 battleships. I'm afraid it'll take some time to ensure their safety," the officer replied.
"It's fine. The initiative is in our hands. As long as we can unleash our combat strength normally, people like Lendili won't be able to pose a threat to us! " Dodonna paused for a moment before saying, "Inform all ships to prepare for battle. Lendili's fleet has yet to respond. I don't know what effect that cannon shot from before has caused … In any case, let's wait first."
"General, Master Shak-Ti just sent a message, asking us to attack Lendili's fleet when the time is right." The adjutant walked over and said.
"Initiating an attack?" General Yang Dodonna furrowed his brows tightly. This was a decision that could trigger a diplomatic incident or even a war! But was this really good? "Call Master Shakti and confirm this order," he continued. He also told her that if they took the initiative to start a war, then everything would be irreversible. Jess Darling, the fleet commander at Lendili, has already submitted to the Republic. We need to wait for feedback from his side. "
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant immediately complied, but soon returned to report that Master Shakti had not replied. Therefore, General Dodonna did not give the order to initiate an attack but chose to continue waiting for orders.
Yang Dodonna did not know that although his order to wait was not a big mistake out of caution, it had caused the Republic Special Envoy fleet to lose their last chance to win …
…
12 PM Planet Lendili Standard Time, 27 hours before the fleet of the Independent Star System Federation arrived.
A bright light lit up from the flagship of the Lendili Defense Fleet, Victorious II-class Planet Destroyer. It was the light of the super-heavy turbolaser cannon equipped on the Planet Destroyer! This blue light instantly shone on a Hunter-class Cruiser at the edge of the Republic Special Envoy fleet. With just one shot, the shield of this cruiser was on the verge of collapse!
Immediately after, all the battleships of the Lendili Defense Fleet opened fire at the same time. Countless laser cannons and missiles were fired at the Republic fleet like a rain of light! The Republic's battleships were also on standby, ready to counterattack the moment they were attacked! At this moment, one of the two battlefields that would decide the fate of the Milky Way Republic, the Battle of Lendili Star System, finally began!
The Lendili Defense Fleet was fully prepared. With their powerful firepower, the five Victorious II-class Planet Destroyers paralyzed the two Hunter-class Cruisers of the Republic Special Envoy fleet in the first salvo. Almost at the same time, the surrounding Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company's docks opened up. A large number of Z-95 space fighters and ARC-170 heavy fighter jets took off and joined the battlefield!
The Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company's Interstellar Docks were not fixed. Instead, they were set up by specialized spherical engineering spaceships. These spherical engineering spaceships varied in size. Some were more than 1,000 meters in diameter, while others were only 100 meters in diameter. A large number of battleship manufacturing modules were installed inside the engineering spaceships. When manufacturing a battleship, they only needed to set up an external gantry that matched the size of the battleship.
Therefore, the Lendili Interstellar Docks were much more flexible when there were spaceship manufacturing missions. Sometimes, they could even fly directly to the resource production area and mine minerals while building spaceships. Of course, the price for this flexibility was that their ability to build large spaceships was not as good as the Kuat Kinetic Dock's Celestial Ring Docks. Furthermore, the production cycle was longer.
Now that they were in combat mode, these spherical engineering spaceships separated from the useless gantry and sealed up the entire spaceship. Laser cannons for self-defense poked out from the outside. Furthermore, the internal hangars that were usually filled with all kinds of engineering spaceships and robots were now filled with all kinds of space fighters!
Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company and Ingkang Corporation had been working together to oppose the Republic for a long time. Therefore, although many of the space fighters that Lendili was equipped with were outdated Z-95 space fighters, Lendili was equipped with more than 5,000 ARC-170 heavy fighter jets due to their high cost! This was equivalent to more than half of the total number of space fighters in the Republic Special Envoy fleet!
The Republic's actions were also very fast. They launched their counterattack and took off their space fighters at the same time. The 20 Hunter-class Cruisers carried a total of more than 8,000 different types of space fighters. Most of them were V-wing space fighters, supplemented by a small number of ARC-170 space fighters and Y-wing bombers.
The space fighters of both sides immediately clashed, and there were space fighters being shot down almost every second!
After the bloody mutiny and massacre of the Lendili Defense Fleet, almost every soldier in the Lendili Defense Fleet was exuding a terrifying aura. They erupted with unparalleled morale and attacked the Republic fleet in a frenzy. Although the Republic was ambushed, they were still prepared for battle and did not suffer too much.
On one hand, the Republic's battleships were more powerful, and the clone soldiers were also incomparably elite. On the other hand, although the Lendili Defense Fleet could not compete with the Hunter-class spaceships other than the five II-class Victory Battleships, they were still fighting on their home ground. The surrounding spherical engineering spaceships could also provide firepower support, and the space fighters that took off also made up for the weakness of the Lendili Defense Fleet.
The fleets of both sides were evenly matched in this confrontation. The space fighters that were like dark clouds pounced on each other, and the light beams that were like raindrops flashed continuously. There were also all kinds of advanced missiles that were fired with a tail flame. All the battleships also launched anti-air missiles, illuminating the entire space with flames and lasers!
