The Battle of Christophsis (9)

The scene of Thousands of Missiles being launched at the same time and then exploding at the same time is spectacular even in Vast Space!

A Sea of ​​Missiles was launched densely and then exploded at the designated location. The explosion of each Missile formed a deadly Radiation Cloud in space, and this Radiation Cloud was still expanding. In just over ten seconds, Within a short time, the Radiation Cloud completely covered Thousands of Kilometers in front of the Fleet!

The Galactic Republic Starfighter Group flying at full speed directly crashed into it!

The Starfighters that came into contact with the Radiation Cloud began to disintegrate almost instantly, the Deflector Shield was melted, the metal was brittle, and within a few seconds, it was directly broken into pieces by the Radiation Cloud containing powerful Radiation Energy!

The Starfighters piloted by Obi-Wan Kenobi were in a slightly rearward position. After sensing the danger, he immediately ordered all the Starfighters to turn around, but it was still a step too late. He just watched this horrific scene.

In the first wave of 1,100 Starfighters, at least 800 directly rushed into the Radiation Cloud, and then their communication was cut off in an instant, and they were broken down into Space Dust by the Radiation Cloud before they could even let out a final scream.

"All Starfighter Squadrons, retreat immediately! Repeat, retreat immediately!!" Obi-Wan Kenobi shouted in the communication. Wullf Yularen's retreat order was also sent at the same time.

The remnants of the Galactic Republic Starfighter Group actually started to turn around and flee. The terrifying scene of this Wave of Missile Salvos made them lose every courage to fight!

However, before flying too far, Ten Dazzling Light Beams passed them, and then directly hit the Venator-class Star Destroyers in front of the Republic Fleet!

A total of Three Venator-class Star Destroyers were hit, and the Deflector Shields were pierced almost instantly. The aftermath of the attack fell on the Armor, and fragments flew across it! One of the Venator-class Hangar Platforms was penetrated, and the cabin inside suddenly ignited a raging fire! The fire was ignited by the oxygen produced inside the Battleship and was quickly extinguished by the vacuum of the Universe.

"Three Warships suffered Heavy Damage and all lost their Combat Capabilities!" The Staff Officer turned around and said loudly to Admiral Wullf Yularen.

"Immediately analyze the opponent's attack! Is it a Kinetic Energy Weapon? The Kol-class Battlecruiser of Dawn is equipped with Shell-Based Kinetic Energy Weapons." Wullf Yularen asked.

"No, it's an Energy Weapon! According to the analysis, it's a Cluster of Fusion Ions confined by a Magnetic Field!" A Technician immediately drew a conclusion from the Computer Data.

"Damn it! Where did these Separatists get so many Powerful Warships? First, there was the Kol-class, and today there are the Marza-class and Unknown Warships!" Wullf Yularen slammed a fist on the Controls, "The Whole Fleet retreats! Retreat to the other side of Christophsis for Defense!"

The Republic Fleet immediately began to turn and move, and at this time, the Separatist Fleet fully fired!

The Triple Gauss Cannon on the front of the Marza-class Heavy Cruiser fired powerful Pulsed Lasers, Dual Medium Autocannons fired and the Quadruple Concussion Missile Launchers on both sides were all launching, and the Planetary Bombardment Cannon fired directly!

The nearby Republic Starfighters immediately focused on these Missiles and fired to intercept them. The Point Defense Lasers on the Venator-class Star Destroyers also fired at full force, but these Missiles were also equipped with Shield Generators, and their speed was extremely fast while still dodging irregularly.

Republic Starfighters and Point Defense Lasers intercepted about two-thirds of the Concussion Missiles, but all the rest hit!

The Huge Power of the Concussion Missiles caused the Deflector Shields of the Venator-class Star Destroyers to flicker continuously. Not only that, the explosions also exploded into a Cloud of Orange Radiation. These Radiation Clouds actually penetrated behind the Deflector Shields under the action of the Magnetic Field and directly began to damage and disassemble the Armor of the Venator-class Star Destroyers!

The Maintenance Droids equipped on the Battleships were launched from the cabin one after another, trying to repair the constantly damaged Battleship Armor, but they were directly broken into pieces by the Radiation Cloud as soon as they approached!

The Radiation Cloud lasted for nearly a minute before it gradually dissipated, and in that area, the Battleship's Armor had already decomposed into a large hole, and the Exposed Wires and Electronic Components were constantly emitting Electric Sparks.

Under constant blows, the Fleet of the Galactic Republic kept retreating. They flew along the equator of Christophsis, finally got rid of the pursuit of these Warships, and hid on the other side of the Planet to reorganize.

The battle lasted less than 20 minutes, but the Galactic Republic's Fleet lost nearly 900 Starfighters, and Three Venator-class Star Destroyers were severely damaged and lost their Combat Capabilities.

The Fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems did not continue to pursue. After they merged with Admiral Trench's Fleet, the Hangar Doors of these Warships opened, and dozens of APOD-33 Dropships flew out, heading towards Christophsis for landing.

At this time, the screen on Admiral Trench's Flagship Bridge showed the indifferent face of Sev'rance Tann, and she said coldly: "The Fleet of the Republic is temporarily retreating, but this victory is not decisive... Open up the situation on the ground as soon as possible before they perceive the Operational Mode of our Warships."

"If you're talking about those Transports just now... tsk tsk tsk, that's not enough." Admiral Trench tapped his palm with a pointer and said slowly.

"Dawn can't send too many Troops to participate in this battle, but the contents of these Dropships are enough to surprise the Republic's Ground Forces." Sev'rance Tann said coldly, "We still have 3 hours of preparation time to launch a General Attack on the Fleet of the Galactic Republic, and then, take advantage of the chaos to launch the plan!"

Dozens more Spaceships left Hyperspace and came to the battlefield, including 30 Hoshiko-class Robotics Cruisers, and some Fleet Supply Ships. These Fleet Supply Ships immediately went to the vicinity of the Marza-class Heavy Cruisers and began to replenish the Missiles, and some went to the T-shaped Battleships to replace the Capacitors.

Those T-shaped Battleships are impressively Behemoth-class Battlecruisers! The Second-Generation Main Battleship of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft"!

This is also a Battleship jointly researched and manufactured by the Fourth Civilization Terran Heavy Industries and the Interstellar Banking Clan after Tang Xiao and San Hill reached an agreement.

In "StarCraft", the First-Generation Main Battleship of the Terrain Empire is the Leviathan-class. This kind of Warship is not technically difficult, but its combat performance is also very general. As an improved second-generation main battleship, the Behemoth class is a very powerful and practical warship that has been baptized in wars in the plot of "StarCraft"!

The Behemoth-class Battlecruiser, with a length of 1,300 meters, has a T-shape as a whole and powerful firepower. Equipped with 4 Burst Laser Batteries as the Main Guns, 8 Laser Batteries, and 50 Sets of Missile Turret Defense Systems. What is even more frightening about this Warship is the Energy Based Plasma Weapon equipped on it——Yamato Cannon!

The Yamato Cannon creates a Cluster of Fusion Ions through a controlled Nuclear Reaction, turning it into a Concentrated Energy Blast containing extremely High Energy through Magnetic Field Confinement, and then launches it at a Super-High Speed through Electromagnetic Acceleration! One shot will consume more than half of the Stored Energy of the Battleship's Reactor, and then it will take a long time to recharge.

But the power of this Yamato Cannon has been demonstrated on the Venator-class Star Destroyers just now!
