Almost at the same time, the Republic's fleet and the Independent Star System Federation's fleet headed toward the ancient ruins between Planet Tallus and Planet Tralus — the midpoint!
The fleets of both sides launched short-distance hyperspace jumps into the Corellia Galaxy. They did not jump at the same time, but in batches. This was also the basic tactic of large-scale space fleet battles. The size of the fleets of both sides had reached an unprecedented level!
The Republic's fleet had a total of more than 3,000 ships, including 1,100 Hunter-class cruisers, more than 800 Aquitens-class light cruisers, and more than 800 other warships, including Broadway-class cruisers, Hammerhead-class cruisers, Victory-class Planet Destroyers, and more than 500 Hunter-class assault landing ships. There were over 50000 carrier-based aircrafts, 2.3 million marines, and the crew of the fleet had reached a terrifying 17 million people!!
Among this terrifying number, there were a total of 1.8 million clone soldiers, including 100,000 pilots, 500,000 battleship crew members, and 1 million marines. The rest were natural soldiers conscripted during the military expansion.
The Independent Star System Federation had a total of more than 1,500 battleships. Unlike the Republic, where almost half of them were medium-sized battleships, most of them were large battleships. This included more than 700 Wisdom-class frigates, more than 200 Fate-class destroyers, more than 500 Heaven-class cruisers, and more than 100 Rukrihouk-class battleships. They had more than 30000 carrier-based aircrafts and 12 million combat robots of various models, of which 8 million were used as battleship operators, and 4 million were used as land troops.
This unprecedented fleet was already more than 80% of the main battleships of the Republic and the Independent Star System Federation. Although this number did not seem large on the surface, it should be noted that the entire Milky Way Galaxy had only begun to gradually expand its military in the past 10 years. Before the battle of Planet Guardian began, Tang Yu estimated that with the industrial strength of Planet Guardian at that time, it would take about a year to build a Hunter-class cruiser. That meant that the total scale of the battleships of both sides was equivalent to the continuous construction of Planet Guardian for more than 4,000 years!
This was a battle that would end in one fell swoop! In fact, after both sides understood the power of the midpoint, this final battle was already inevitable! Because both sides understood that once the midpoint fell into the hands of the other party, they would lose everything. There was no room for Ren Han to win!! This was especially true for someone as ambitious as Palpatine. Once he obtained the midpoint, he would immediately open fire on Laskers IV, the capital of the Confederacy of Independent Systems! Once that happened, the tens of billions of residents of Laskers IV would all be annihilated. Who would they seek redress for their grievances?
Therefore, a conclusion had to be made! Right now, right here! Corellia Galaxy, midpoint!
Warships from both sides continued to enter the battlefield, firing their cannons and taking off their fighter jets without hesitation. For a moment, in the outer region of the midpoint station, countless lasers and missiles, countless barrages, and countless fighter jets and bombers were intertwined!
The Hunter-class Battlecruiser turned its hull horizontally to maximize the firepower of the turret. After the turbo laser cannon was fully charged, it suddenly fired a destructive laser beam at the enemy! The Heaven-class battlecruiser had no intention of retreating either. It turned its body horizontally and fired a bright red beam of death from its twin turbolaser cannons!
All the warships opened up their hangar platforms, releasing all the fighter jets and bombers at once! Because everyone knew that in a battle of this scale, even a huge warship could not guarantee that it could survive for more than ten minutes. Therefore, it was necessary to use all the means of attack at once! There were no fancy tricks, just the collision of cannons!
Not only near the midpoint station, but both sides also sent their sub-fleets to the five planets of the Corellia Galaxy. As long as they could control one or two anti-gravity devices, it would have a decisive impact on the direction of the war! At this time, almost the entire Corellia Galaxy was covered in the flames of war!
…
Rumble ~ ~ ~ Loud noises accompanied by violent earthquakes came one after another. Inside the anti-gravity device under Selonia, all the members of the King's Party could feel the approaching doomsday. Especially Dan Solo, his face was ashen. From the moment he discovered that the enemy had started using the giant drilling machine to penetrate the earth's crust, he just sat there without saying a word.
In fact, the restoration of the Solo family had failed. Thanks to his grandson, Han Solo, the King's Party was in a state of panic. For the first time, they began to doubt the legitimacy of their own regime. For the restoration of a feudal dynasty to a democratic regime, once the so-called righteousness was lost, it was the same as losing everything.
Coupled with the series of news of the reorganization of the Republic, Palpatine's proclamation as Emperor, and the disbandment of the Jedi Knights, the King's Party suffered a heavy blow. In fact, except for Selonia, the rebellions of the King's Party on the other four planets had basically been suppressed. Only a few remnants of the King's Party were surviving with the help of the landing forces of the Republic. But if even the last breath of the King's Party was suppressed by the Republic, then even if the rebellion succeeded, the Republic would not recognize the Solo family as the regime.
Even the King's Party's strongest force on Theronia, the main force of Henchuzuk, was beginning to retreat. After launching an attack on the ground defense line of the Independent Star System Confederation but ultimately failed, they began to secretly flirt with the Independent Star System Confederation, hoping to find a way out.
There was less than an hour left in the countdown. Gravel had begun to fall from the ceiling of this underground space, and the surrounding temperature was also rising. This was due to the high temperature and even melting of the surrounding rock strata due to the drilling of the drilling rig. Dan Solow looked at the people around him. They were the most loyal supporters of the Solow Family. That was why he brought them into the anti-gravity device. Now, these people were looking at him with despair in their eyes.
Dan Solo stood up and stood in the center. He suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the ground. The superalloy blade pierced deep into the ground. Then, he shouted, "Everyone! If the Solo family is destined to perish today, then I will be very honored, because we will be the last nobles in this galaxy! Hypocritical democracy will not extinguish our glory, our nobility! Even if we die, we will protect our dignity! "
As he spoke, he looked around and saw the light in the eyes of the last loyal supporters. He roared, "Today is the day! I, Dan Solo, the descendant of the Solo Dynasty, will ascend the throne right here! May the Suolo Dynasty prosper for generations to come!!! "
His attendant brought over a metal box and solemnly opened it. Inside was a very luxurious crown, with a note beside it. It was a message from Shiv Palpatine's handwriting. He did not even look at it. He threw the note to the side and solemnly put on the crown.
The surrounding members of the King's Party cheered for the last emperor of the Solo Dynasty!
Almost at the same time, a series of loud noises rang out. Copious amounts of high-temperature lava sprinkled down from the ceiling. Then, the huge drilling machine penetrated the underground space and crashed to the ground! Just the high temperature of the magma and the huge drilling rigs had caused a lot of casualties. However, what was even more frightening was the sound of rattling coming from the 10 big holes that the drilling rigs had drilled.
Then, countless black shadows swarmed out from these holes. They were densely packed mechanical squids! Since Tang Yu wanted to replicate the battle model of 0-1 country attacking Sion, he naturally would not forget about the mechanical squids that could display great combat power in such a narrow terrain!
Countless mechanical squids rushed out of the holes. The remaining soldiers of the King's Party quickly picked up their weapons and fired wildly, but there were just too many of them! They crawled on the walls, flew in the air, and were even equipped with laser weapons. Their eight long mechanical tentacles were also waving nimbly, grabbing the soldiers one by one and tearing them to pieces in the air!
Dan Solo took out a remote control from under the box where the crown was stored and held it in his hand. He quietly watched the one-sided massacre around him, but his expression was calm.
Within the spreading flames, Palpatine's handwritten letter was also ignited, the flamboyant handwriting gradually disappearing in the flames … 'The noble Suolo Dynasty's King Dan Suolo: … I sincerely wish the Suolo Dynasty to prosper and prosper from generation to generation. May the glory of the Suolo Dynasty shine upon the entire Corellia Sector.'
Dan Solo lowered his head and sent a final message to his grandson, Han Solo, through the communicator. 'I'm sorry, Han. From now on, live a good life as an ordinary person …'
After doing all this, he let out a long sigh and pressed the button in the metal box!
