2290. Ambush
Core of the Milky Way, Lendili Galaxy.
Although the scale of the battle that broke out here was not large, it was still extremely tragic. The Republic General Woolf Yularen had led his fleet to reinforce them. However, when the Republic fleet arrived, they were greeted by the resolute resistance of the Lendili Galaxy. They and the Lendili Defense Fleet engaged in an extremely fierce battle.
Before this, the people of Lendill Galactic Dynamics still had many doubts about rebelling against the Republic and joining the Confederation of Independent Star Systems. That was why Peacock came up with a plan. They found the radical Merlo-Yago and planned a mutiny.
And the beginning of the mutiny was the sudden opening fire of the Republic's Special Envoy fleet. Although they did not know the reason, this shot ignited the fear on the Lendili side. They were worried that they would be destroyed by the Republic, worried that they would be sent back to the Republic for trial and become criminals. Under such fear, coupled with the incitement of Merlo Yago and other radical officers, the Lendili Defense Fleet took the initiative to attack, trying to gain the initiative. Then, they were very surprised to find that … they actually won?
The previously powerful and elite Republic fleet was annihilated right in front of them? The Republic's Special Envoy fleet had 20 hunter-class cruisers, and their strength definitely surpassed the makeshift Lendili Defense Fleet. But not long after the battle started, their flagship, Sandy, was destroyed by Kristina. After that, all the warships lost their commander and could only fight on their own. In addition, Kristina massacred the Republic's fighter jets in space, causing the Special Envoy fleet to lose the cover of fighter jets. In the end, under the siege of countless Z-95 and ARC-170 fighter jets, the Special Envoy fleet was destroyed one after another.
The soldiers of the Lendili Defense Fleet who had obtained victory immediately had their morale boosted. They realized that the Republic was not invincible, and more importantly, since they had already annihilated the Special Envoy fleet, they would be sent to the gallows no matter what. They might as well fight it out!
Therefore, when General Woolf Yularen led more than 70 warships to the Lendili Galaxy, they were faced with a group of red-eyed, murderous opponents.
"Charge the main cannons and prepare to fire. Position 339!" On the Republic Fleet's flagship, the Hunter-class cruiser, the captain of the warship was giving out battle orders, commanding the warship to fire at the Lendili defense fleet in front of them.
On the other hand, the fleet's commander-in-chief, Admiral Rulf Yularen, was not that excited. He looked at the wreckage of the Hunter-class cruisers floating outside through the bridge's porthole with a solemn expression. "There's no doubt that Lendily has wiped out the envoy fleet, and it seems like they didn't suffer too many losses themselves," he said.
"This was not destroyed by the warship's main cannon." Two female Sorotian Jedi Masters who looked very similar stood beside him, staring at the wreckage as well. One of them pointed at the wreckage and said, "These destroyed warships are all intact."
They were both Jedi Masters from Xolotia. They were cousins, Stas Allier and Adi Gallia.
"The warships will contain them, the fighter jets will destroy the air defenses, and then the bombers will hit the engines. After that, there will probably be a landing operation, and this is the result." There was another male Jedi Warrior beside them. He pointed outside the window and said with some disdain, "What an ugly battle."
"Galdos Steve, those warriors fought for the Republic to the very end. Saying that is a lack of respect for them," the female Sorotian said.
"You're not right, Stas Allier. It's hard for me to show respect to a defeated general like this, because the best way to repay the Republic is to win. If you can't do that, then you don't deserve respect. " Galdos Stov said proudly, "With all due respect, even Anakin Skywalker, who is known as the 'Fearless Hero', is nothing more than this. He has repeatedly failed in the battles against the Separatists. He does not live up to his name."
General Rulf Yularen, who had worked with Anakin a few times, was very displeased. He frowned and said, "Anakin Skywalker is the most talented Jedi Warrior I've ever seen, and he would never boast about his abilities. He was able to mingle with every soldier and treat himself as one of them, taking the lead in launching attacks. The title of 'Fearless Hero' was earned by his blade and spear, and in my opinion, he deserves it. "
A hint of mockery appeared on Galdos Steve's lips. "How foolish. As a general, you should be in charge of the overall situation, and not blindly charge like a foot soldier. I'm starting to understand why he always loses, while I've never lost since the start of the war. "
"The only ones who can defeat Anakin on the battlefield are the armies of the Planet Protectors. They're not ordinary people, and can be said to be the most difficult army to deal with in the entire Separatist army. I'm sure you haven't met the armies of the Planet Protectors before, have you? "Rulf Yularen said.
"Because you lost, so you praise the enemy to the skies. Is that what you're doing?" Galdos Steve said disdainfully.
Even Stas Allier and her sister were a little displeased when they heard that. Adi Galia snorted coldly. "Then, we'll be waiting to see your performance, Master Steve."
"I also hope to have a chance to perform, but it looks like Lendili's fleet can't hold on much longer," Galdos Steve said as he looked out the window.
Indeed, the Republic had seventy battleships attacking, while the Lendili defense fleet only had five Victorious II-class Planet Destroyers and more than ten Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers. There was a fundamental difference in strength between the two sides. Less than two hours after Rulf Yularen led his fleet into the Lendili Star System, the Lendili defense fleet had already suffered heavy losses, and they had no choice but to retreat towards the planet. They were probably planning to rely on the heavy defense systems on the spherical engineering spaceships to resist.
The Republic fleet gave chase, charging directly into the engineering spaceships to chase after the enemy. However, Lendili's shipbuilding style was built to be durable, and those engineering spaceships that were specially used to build large battleships were naturally thick and sturdy. Although they only had simple self-defense firepower, they actually managed to block the attacks of many Republic fleets.
At this moment, Stas Allier's expression suddenly changed. She turned to look at her cousin and said, "Did you feel it? Adi Galia! "
Adi Galia also had a solemn expression. "Indeed, I have a bad feeling." She looked at the previously arrogant Galdos Steve and saw that his expression had also turned serious. It seemed like he had also noticed that something was wrong. At the very least, this person's words were harsh, but he had some ability.
"Retreat immediately, reorganize the formation!" Stas Allier turned her head and said loudly.
Rulf Yularen did not have much ability, but he was a competent commander. He did not ask why and immediately gave the order. "Relay my orders to all ships! Abandon the pursuit! Retreat from this area and reorganize the formation! "
However, it was too late. A piercing alarm sounded on the control panel of the battleship, and the operator screamed, "We've been targeted by the fire-control radar!"
"Report! There's an energy reaction coming from the wreckage of the battleships! "The radar soldier also jumped up and said loudly.
Rulf and the others quickly looked out the window and saw that the wreckage of the 'destroyed' Republic fleet's battleships were all glowing with energy. This was a sign that the engines were being activated! Not only that, the main cannons on these battleships were beginning to charge!
They could not help but feel terrified, because in order to pursue the retreating Lendili defense fleet, the Republic's battleships were actually passing through this wreckage area!
…
At the same time, on a huge spherical engineering spaceship, Peacock smiled faintly and said to Banjira Ulan, the executive officer of Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Corporation, "As expected of one of the top industrial entities in the Milky Way, to be able to repair those Republic battleships in less than ten hours and turn them into fixed cannon turrets."
"Hahahahaha!" Banjira Ulan was also in a good mood. He laughed loudly and said, "Our Lendili is definitely the best in the Milky Way when it comes to warship manufacturing, let alone other things! If those people from the Kuat Kinetic Dock didn't play dirty, how could they be a match for us!? "
"Well done." Peacock raised his Peacock feather fan and waved it. "But now is not the time to celebrate. The battle has just begun …"
