Chapter 2375: The Empire Strikes Back (Part )
2376: The Empire Strikes Back (Part )

Should we go back to rescue the planet Yago-Dur, or directly attack the planet Fangduo?
This was the choice that Severance Tann faced. The planet Yago-Dur was no longer able to support itself. Facing a force five times its size, and the Executor Super Star Destroyer that was exchanging wounds like crazy, General Ling Liang had done his best, but he had also reached his limit.

One of the disadvantages of starting the war early is that there is only one Death Star cannon. One Death Star cannon is not enough to threaten the planet Fondo, so Darth Vader was furious and abandoned the planet Fondo and rushed out.

Because in this situation, Darth Vader could fully expect to capture the planet Yago-Dur before the planet Fondo fell.

The loss of the planet Fangduo was a serious blow to the Galactic Empire, but the loss of the planet Yago-Dur by the Kingdom of Dawn was a direct result of opening the door!
Apart from anything else, the Given people must be resentful for losing their homeland, and they also couldn't defend the homeland of the Gran people, the planet of Jinyan. In this way, two races with a population of over 10 billion people began to turn against each other, which was an even more fatal blow to the Kingdom of Dawn.

So what to do now?
"Tell Ling Liang that she must rely on her own strength to defend the planet Yago-Dur. And I will not give her any assistance." Severance Tann said coldly to the staff officer. She didn't even want to explain to General Ling in person, and immediately plunged into the plan of attacking multiple planets.

……

On October 10, Darth Vader's fleet had taken control of the outer orbit of Yago-Dur and began orbital bombardment of the planet.

Ling Liang led the First Task Force, but now, due to lack of strength, he did not dare to engage in battle rashly. He could only adopt a long-range harassment posture, using the particle light spears of the Disaster-class battlecruisers to continuously fire at long ranges, harassing the bombing operations of the Imperial Fleet and the landing operations that might come later.

Her fleet is now stationed in a space dock area about 1 astronomical unit away from the planet. This is where the Titan battleships are built on the planet Yago-Dur.

In the beginning, in order to keep the Titan battleship secret, the construction site was not built in the synchronous orbit of the planet, but chose to build an independent space facility far away from the planet in a location with relatively gentle gravity. In addition to the Titan battleship dock, there are also large space ports, supply stations, and even a space station that can accommodate 20000 people!
Now, with the periphery of Yago-Dur lost, the Titan Dockyard became Ling Liang's last stronghold. She couldn't leave here, otherwise, the isolated Yago-Dur planet would be completely conquered!

A large number of engineering ships and supply ships continued to come from the rear to repair Ling Liang's warships on the spot, especially the Xuanwu Titan battleship, which had to restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

At the same time, Severance Tann led the second task force with the strongest strength and had circled around to threaten the Fangduo planet from another direction. The main reason for such strategic maneuvers was that the occupation of Kira planet caused the Galactic Empire to lose control of the southern line of the Hydia Passage.

On October 10, Severance Tann captured the planet Bestine under a fierce attack, and in the early morning of the next day, a large fleet entered the Fangduo system!
At the same time, Darth Vader discovered something very embarrassing.

He had no way to capture Yago-Dur! Although more than 200 Imperial-class Star Destroyers had bombarded the planet for two full days, orbital cannons were still being fired back from Yago-Dur.

Even though the surface of the planet had been blown into lava and flames, it seemed to have no effect.

After a careful scan, Darth Vader discovered a very serious problem - the orbital defense cannons used by the planet Yago-Dur to fight back were all built underground! These orbital defense cannons were all built under the rock layer more than 5000 meters underground. Each time they fired, only a very narrow range of fire could penetrate such a thick rock layer. However, the Given defenders did not care. If they could hit the target, they would hit it. If they could not hit the target, they would just join in the fun.

Because almost all the buildings and cities on the entire planet Yago-Dur are built underground!

The Yago-Doul system is a three-body system. The presence of three stars makes the gravitational environment of the system unpredictable and extremely dangerous. In history, the Yago-Doul planet has passed by the star at an ultra-close distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers hundreds of times!

So now the surface of Yago-Dur is all reflective and extremely hard obsidian rock. In addition, the Givens have been constantly strengthening this planet for tens of thousands of years, adding countless supports from the inside out, and driving countless extremely hard reinforcement structures into the rock. They built their own cities several kilometers deep underground, and the supporting structures of these cities are all extremely strong!
They even built hundreds of huge artificial gravity systems at the bottom of their cities to ensure that the city could continue to operate normally even if the planet lost its rotation.

It can be said that the entire Yago-Dur planet is a super fortress that has been built over tens of thousands of years! And this fortress-like structure, in turn, ensures that the planet can remain intact in the extreme astronomical phenomena of the Three-Body System.

For example, in the last battle of Yago-Dur, the planet was thrown out by the star's gravity and flew around in the galaxy like a pinball. If it were any other planet, it would have disintegrated long ago!

But the planet Yago-Dur remained strong, just as they were now facing the bombardment of hundreds of star destroyers, standing still!

Darth Vader stood on the bridge of the Executor, staring at the planet Yago-Dur, which was apparently ablaze but actually intact. His cold mask obscured his entire expression, and only the heavy breathing coming from the respirator was still so chilling.

I wonder if he is cursing the incompetence of the Galactic Republic in his heart right now. Why did they force such a tenacious race like the Given people to the side of the Separatists, and then gave them a super fortress that is almost impossible to be conquered! !

Since the Galactic Republic's repeated attacks on the planet Yago-Dur during the Clone Wars, countless warships and countless soldiers have died here. And now, even though he has defeated the defending fleet, facing the planet itself, he can only sigh in despair.

"Continue to siege the planet and be alert to the separatist fleet. Send out the Cheering Class assault landing ships to launch a landing operation on the planet Yago-Dur!" Darth Vader said coldly: "No matter what the cost, the planet Yago-Dur must be captured!!"
