2240 The Last Blood and Fire (End)
Because the Republic's flagship, the Ark, was constantly retreating, and the surrounding warships were all besieging the Venomfang Battleship, as well as being badly battered by the unheard of Type-2 and Type-3 warships of the Guardian Planet, the Ark's surroundings were actually the most empty!
All the Republic fleet, from the generals to the soldiers, believed that all the warships and troops of both sides were already out in the open. Moreover, all the warships in the Corellia galaxy, a star system with a diameter of 0.8 light years, were already here. It was impossible for more to appear out of thin air. Moreover, even if they had to mobilize warships from other galaxies, the fluctuations of hyperspace jumps were more convenient to detect. Therefore, both sides were actually playing chess. There were only so many troops, it all depended on how you used them.
But no one would have thought that the Predators' warships had actually been lurking in the Corellia galaxy since two months ago and had been activating the cloaking device. With the current research on cloaking technology in the Star Wars world, it was necessary to activate a special reaction radar to detect cloaking within a limited range. It was impossible for them to detect cloaking within the entire galaxy.
As for why the Venomfang Battleship was able to lock onto the position of the Ark immediately after joining the battle and clearly know that it was the Republic's flagship, it was actually because the Predators had discovered it after a period of secret reconnaissance and reconnaissance.
And now, the Grim Reaper had arrived!
The shield in the direction of the Ark's engine was instantly pierced by countless ion cannons. Then, these high-speed blue-white high-temperature particles exploded on the armor of the warship, and a large number of fragments were blasted out! Suffering such a surprise attack at close range, the Ark almost immediately lost its power!!
"Bastards!! It's the Kurofune!! When did they get here?! " Seeing this scene, Grandmaster Wendu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He knew that he had fallen into a trap and hurriedly piloted the fighter to fly in the direction of the Ark. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge wave of dark force spreading out!! The source was from one of the large Kurofunes!! It was this person! Using the Force to interfere with his senses, he could not sense that the danger was actually coming from the rear of the Ark!
Then, the Force began to spread out. He saw two Aquitense-class light cruisers and a Hunter-class cruiser closest to the Ark suddenly turn around and fire at the Ark! Master Wen Du was shocked when he saw this, and he immediately knew the identity of this person! Count Dooku's new favorite disciple, also a member of the Planet Guardians — Emma Frost, who called herself the White Queen!
"You!! How dare you!!! " Master Wendu roared, and a vast amount of origin power erupted, heading straight for Emma Frost's origin power. After a fierce collision, the controlled battleships immediately quieted down. They didn't continue to fire at the Ark, but they also didn't make any movements. The crew members on the ship must have fainted.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Master Wendu coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The clash with Emma Frost this time was not pleasant. Master Yoda had told him that Emma Frost had once cultivated the "Book of Daoism" with him in Dagobah, so she was not as evil as a pure darkness origin power user. Instead, she was a more neutral power, and at the same time, she was much stronger than before. But Master Wendu still did not expect that Emma Frost's strength would grow so quickly. She was already one step away from him!
But during this time, the Predator fleet did not stop. The three battleships closest to the Ark were first controlled by Emma, and then under the collision of Emma and Master Wendu's power, all the crew members were stunned and lost their combat effectiveness. Now, the only ones left were the Predator fleet and the Ark itself!!
Countless ion cannons and huge beam cannons exploded on the Ark. The Ark's engine was almost completely destroyed in the first wave of attacks. Now that it had lost most of its energy supply, let alone the deflector shield, even the few turrets on the battleship could only turn around and fire back. This was a one-sided beating!
Under Master Wendu's gaze, the Ark suddenly burst into an extremely strong light blue flame, and then it was blown into two in a violent explosion! This was a leak in the metamaterial storage compartment inside the battleship. The leaked metamaterial instantly reacted violently with all matter, including the air, and at the same time, released extremely powerful energy, which then caused an explosion. In such an explosion, not a single escape capsule could be successfully launched … including the fleet commander, Admiral Carbin.
The Predator fleet had already activated the cloaking device and accelerated away when their detectors discovered the violent energy reaction inside the Ark, disappearing into the deep space of the universe. Because of Emma Frost's existence, Master Wendu could not sense their location even if he used the Force. From this, it could be seen that Emma Frost's injuries were not serious. At least she still had the strength to fight.
Master Wendu looked gloomily at the wreckage of the Ark that was still exploding, and his heart sank. He could not help but think about what would have happened if he was still on the Ark. After thinking about it for a while, the answer was not much. Because Emma Frost was already a match for him, and the Ark was not a match for those black ships at all! Although those black ships were not big, each of them had extremely fierce firepower and were very fast. Some of the tactical maneuvers of those small black ships that were more than 100 meters long could even be compared to space warships! The destruction of the Ark was still unavoidable …
Although this huge aerial battle had turned into a chaotic battle and the commanding role of the flagship was not obvious, it was still a flagship after all, and its symbolic role could not be compared at all! Now that the flagship was destroyed in front of everyone's eyes, the blow to morale was devastating! This was also the biggest difference between human soldiers and robot soldiers. Sometimes, human soldiers would erupt with stronger combat power than usual, but when their morale collapsed, they would become scattered sand.
Now that the Ark was destroyed, the mobile fleet assembled by Admiral Carbin immediately fell into chaos. Previously, they had been fighting the Poison Fang battleship in an orderly manner, but now that the Ark was destroyed, the morale of those soldiers suddenly fell to the bottom. Those Aquitans-class light cruisers that had been fighting bravely and risking their lives to besiege the Poison Fang were no longer willing to risk their lives. What a joke! How big was their battleship? 325 meters long! How big was the Poison Fang? 5,000 meters long!! If they were not holding their breath, who would be willing to engage in such a hopeless battle!
Seizing this opportunity, the Poison Fang battleship immediately destroyed several Aquitans-class light cruisers and fired two electromagnetic pulse cannons, paralyzing several hunter-class cruisers. Coupled with the cooperation of the teleporting Type II fighter and the cloaking Type III fighter, the mobile fleet that had been gathered was completely routed! What was even worse was that the Predator fleet had also appeared behind this fleet, like a ghost!!
Master Wendu suppressed the urge to rush forward and fight to the death. He turned on the communicator to contact the entire army, indicating that he was still alive, and designated another hunter-class cruiser as the flagship. Only then did the morale of the army slightly stabilize. At this moment, a communication request came in from the public channel.
"Master Wendu, the Republic has fallen, the Independent Star System Confederation no longer exists, and the Jedi Order is also a thing of the past. How long are you going to fight for? Do you want to use up the last of the Republic before you stop? "Tang Yu's holographic projection appeared on the communicator.
"I'm not fighting for the Empire, I'm fighting for … the people of the world!" Wendu said firmly.
"So you're planning to use up all of our warships in exchange for a period of peace?" Tang Yu asked in return.
"There's still the midpoint!" Wendu said.
"The anti-gravity device on Theronia has been destroyed, and the midpoint can't fire for at least a few decades. This is the opportunity for peace, isn't it? Moreover, every minute we fight in the Corellian System, the fragile nerves of the Five-Star Alliance will tighten a little. You can't guarantee that they won't use the anti-gravity device to attack you, right? That will be the worst result, because once the Five-Star Alliance uses the anti-gravity device to fire and annihilate the Republic's fleet, both sides will fight to the death! "Tang Yu said.
Master Wendu took a deep breath and asked, "Then what do you want?"
"This war is enough. From a political point of view, the political goal of this war has been achieved. If we continue to fight, it will be a war for the sake of war. So, you should do what you should do, and we, too, have a lot of things to do, "Tang Yu said in a low voice.
"The midpoint must be destroyed!" Master Wendu's eyes turned cold.
Tang Yu sighed and said, "The moment the midpoint is destroyed, it will be the moment the Milky Way faces destruction … The Force hasn't been restored yet, and the Milky Way can't bear this result."
"What are you trying to say?"
"The Midpoint Station is much more complicated than you think. The technology of the Kilik people 100,000 years ago didn't reach the level where they could build a miracle like the midpoint, but they did. There must be a reason behind it. But let's not talk about that for now. For now, stopping the war is the best outcome. And the remaining battleships of the Republic are in your hands. You can use them to do other meaningful things for the people of the Galactic Republic instead of sacrificing them here, "Tang Yu said.
