Igor commanded the Fourth Civilization Fleet to line up. The five Cobalt-class Light Frigates with the best protection capabilities rushed forward, the six Assault-class Light Destroyers with the strongest firepower were in the middle, and 60 Gunship-class Light Frigates lined up around.
The space defense force of Planet Malastare hastily launched more than a dozen Aurek Fighters. At the same time, the space station launched several Proton Torpedoes.
Such a counterattack looked childish to Igor Zavarov. The distance between the two sides is more than 2,000 kilometers. Launching Proton Torpedoes and taking off Fighters at this distance is completely dead!
"Start electronic jamming! The Gunship-class Light Frigate locks on the trajectory of the Proton Torpedo! Intercept it immediately after entering the range!" Igor gave an order.
Two minutes later, all 30 Gunship-class Light Frigates equipped with Laser Turrets opened fire, and the Blue Laser Beams shrouded the past like a network and all the Proton Torpedoes fired by the opponent were blown into fireballs.
Immediately after the Aurek Fighter entered the optimal firing range of the Cobalt-class Light Frigate, the gunner on the Frigate gave an order, "Fire!!"
The Laser Cannon directly in front of the Cobalt-class Light Frigate immediately emitted Laser Beams!
Two of the Aurek Fighters were instantly destroyed, and the rest scattered in all directions. While rolling and avoiding, they launched another round of airborne Proton Torpedoes.
But this level of attack can't break through the array of warships that have been set up. In the absence of fire cover from large warships, Fighters rush into the opponent's fleet rashly, and the result is death!
Apart from moving forward, the spaceships of the Fourth Civilization Fleet did not take any evasive actions at all, they just pressed forward. Each spaceship performed its own duties and was responsible for the air defense of one of the airspaces. The intensive firepower kept shooting down the Aurek Fighters on Planet Malastare.
The battle lasted less than 5 minutes. Although the pilots of the Malastare Defense Force were brave enough to fight to the last man, they achieved very little. Except for some explosive Laser Beams hitting the target, which caused a little damage to the shield of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, only an airborne Proton Torpedo hit one of the Cobalt-class Light Frigates in the melee.
Then, the Fourth Civilization's fleet began to bombard the defensive space station violently. The Turbolaser Turrets and Proton Torpedo Launchers installed on the space station tried their best to fight back, but still, 10 minutes later, the space station was completely destroyed!
At this time, a small fleet has begun to gather near another defensive space station on Planet Malastare. Basically, they all take off from the airport near Pixelito, the capital of Planet Malastare, and most of them are spaceships converted from cargo ships. There are about 20 ships. In addition, there are more than 30 Aurek Fighters.
This is already all the belongings of Planet Malastare.
They sacrificed this defensive space station here, creating precious time for their defensive fleet to expand.
However, such resistance is doomed to be futile!
The Fourth Civilization Fleet immediately turned around, heading straight for the Malastare Defense Fleet firing directly without any hesitation!
Although the Cobalt-class Light Frigate has only two Laser Turrets, the turrets have high power, a fast rate of fire, and concentrated firepower. Five ships line up in a row and fire continuously. At the same time, they concentrated all the shield energy on the bow of the ship to withstand the crazy counterattack of the defending fleet.
The firepower of the Assault-class Light Destroyer is even more powerful. The firepower of the four Dual-Mounted Laser Turrets and two Plasma Bomb Launchers simply makes the defense fleet desperate.
Because the fleets of the Fourth Civilization all use Blue Laser Weapons, they are in stark contrast to the Red Blaster Beams of the Malastare Defense Fleet. But obviously, on this battlefield, blue firmly suppressed red.
The fleet of the Fourth Civilization has always maintained a distance of 500 kilometers, and the deployment of the formation is a burst of indiscriminate bombing. The Malastare defense fleet failed to break through their fire nets even at the cost of their lives.
Their fleet composition is pretty complete now, with Plasma Bombs that work well against shields, and Blue Lasers for point-to-point attacks, including close-in fire. Later, when the Pulsar-class Light Frigates are put into mass production, they will also have a weapon that can effectively destroy the armor of enemy spacecraft.
In comparison, the Malastare Defense Fleet, where all spaceships were saved from rations and purchased from the black market, was much shabby.
The result is also self-evident.
Igor Zavalov didn't mean to let the Wraith Fighters take off from the beginning to the end, and the battle was over.
"The Galactic Republic will make you pay!!" The commander of the space station uttered a final roar in the public channel, followed by a violent explosion. He died in the line of duty and died under the bombing of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
Tang Xiao shook his head, "Contrary to what you think, the battle of Malastare is just the beginning of the turmoil in the Republic."
The fleet of the Fourth Civilization flew around Planet Malastare to ensure that they no longer had any resistance, and destroyed all the communication satellites and navigation satellites outside the atmosphere, plunging the entire planet Malastare into darkness and chaos.
At this time, Admiral Trench had also completed the defense arrangement for Malastare and also installed a Hyperspace Blocker, completely blocking the Hyperspace Channel around the Planet Malastare.
...
Due to the destruction of the communication satellite, it took almost a day for the news of the blockade of Planet Malastare to reach the Galactic Senate, but the Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum, had already decided not to publicly interfere in the dispute over Planet Malastare.
Under Valorum's secret organization, he personally used some funds to find aid for Planet Malastare.
Because the defense fleet of the Dustieg military region to which Planet Malastare belonged was bought by the Corporate Alliance, Valorum had to be headed by the defense fleet of the Kwymar Military Region, and the defense fleets of the two star regions of Tyus and Val Hagen began to gather stand up. On the surface, this fleet participated in the war in the name of mercenaries. In the public documents, they were hired by Planet Malastare, and all their actions have nothing to do with the official of the Galactic Republic.
Then, at the behest of Valorum, the Galactic Senate organized a survey team to Planet Malastare, nominally to mediate the dispute between the two parties. But in fact, there is a special person in this investigation team——Captain Wullf Yularen, who is a pseudonymous investigator consultant.
Wullf Yularen will enter the fleet as a consultant and serve as the commander of the fleet. He is responsible for repelling the mercenary fleet of the Corporate Alliance and rescuing Planet Malastare!
