Chapter 2424 Thrawn's Clamp (Part )

2425. Thrawn's Clamp (Part )

This is not a battlefield, this is hell!

The first fleet sent out by Severance Tann did achieve its goal. They did encounter the main fleet of the Northern Frontier of the Galactic Empire led by Thrawn and had a fierce battle.

But judging from the current battlefield situation, they were completely unprepared and fell headfirst into the trap carefully set by Thrawn!

The main fleet of the Northern Frontier of the Galactic Empire is all here, with 300 battleships and more than 2000 small and medium-sized warships. This fleet is not very powerful in the current battlefield of the Milky Way, where there are thousands of battleships, but it is still a very considerable force in the battlefield of the Northern Frontier where both sides have suffered heavy casualties.

And in the midst of heavy encirclement was the First Fleet, which had only one-sixth of the Imperial Fleet's strength!

They only had 50 battleships and 200 light cruisers. They fought for four hours while being surrounded! If there were no five Divine Revelation-class battleships, the Titan battleship would have seen nothing but debris when it arrived.

But even so, the First Fleet suffered heavy losses and was almost eliminated!

The five Prophet-class battleships came under heavy attack from Thrawn, led by the Executor-class Super Star Destroyers. When facing the main force of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Prophet-class battleships had an almost overwhelming advantage. An Imperial-class Star Destroyer could not hold out for long in front of the Prophet-class. On the other hand, the turbolaser cannons of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer were completely helpless against the voltage-type armor cladding of the Prophet-class battleships.

However, when the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer appeared in front of the Revelation-class battleship, the situation was completely different.

With a length of 19000 meters and the firepower of 5000 heavy turbolaser cannons, even if any one of them hits the Divine Instruction-class without causing any harm, the firepower of 5000 twin-mounted turrets, which can fire 10000 rounds at a time, still deals a fatal blow to the Divine Instruction-class battleship.

The five Revelation-class battleships blocked the attack of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer with great difficulty, so that the remaining warships had more maneuvering space.

The deployment of troops previously made by Severance Tann finally worked. Among the 50 battleships, there were 32 Hell Angel-class battlecruisers and 18 Behemoth-class battlecruisers, all of which were all-around battleships that could fight and run. Moreover, the Hell Angel-class battlecruisers were tough and strong, and the Behemoth-class Yamato guns could also provide good long-range firepower support. They each had their own characteristics and complemented each other.

The 200 small and medium-sized warships were mostly Accelerator-class heavy destroyers and Pioneer-class light cruisers, as well as a small number of Steadfast-class cruisers. These were all the most advanced warships in the Kingdom of Dawn, and were basically acquired by Severance Tann from the Northern Commercial Alliance after she came to the North.

Because of this, with the same number of ships, the First Squadron can have an absolute advantage over the Imperial Fleet. But the problem is that the Imperial Fleet is more than six times larger than them! And they have been surrounded by Imperial warships since the beginning of the war, leaving them with little room for maneuver!

The battlefield was already littered with wreckage and debris of warships. Three of the five Revelation-class battleships were destroyed by the Executor-class Super Star Destroyers after fighting bravely, and the remaining two were just struggling to hold on. Only 5 of the 50 capital ships remained, and only more than 14 of the 200 small and medium-sized warships remained!

It can be said that if another half an hour had passed, the First Fleet would have been completely destroyed!

Even so, the navy officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn did not retreat. They persisted in resisting even in such a desperate situation. Among the wreckage and debris floating on the battlefield, there were quite a few warships belonging to the Galactic Empire!

And now, the bloody battle of the First Fleet has finally received a response!

The strong white flash heralded the arrival of reinforcements, and then what appeared here was the huge and majestic figure of the Titan battleship, the Messenger of God!

The communication that was completely cut off by the powerful electronic interference of the Executor class finally got a response. When the clear and loud voice of Severance Tann came from the communication channel that was originally only noisy with the sound of electricity, at this moment, many soldiers of the First Fleet who were still roaring and fighting to death a second ago even cried out! The appearance of the Titan battleship of the God's Envoy, although only a single ship, showed that the Kingdom of Dawn had not given up on them! It also showed that the counterattack was about to begin! !

[General Tann! It is General Tann’s flagship!!]

[When will we strike back? General Tann, we are ready! ]

[Now is a good opportunity! Lead us to kill these Imperial dogs! General Tann!!]

That's right, these naval soldiers who had fought for more than 4 hours and were on the verge of destruction, when the reinforcements arrived, they didn't think about finally surviving. They thought about counterattacking immediately!

To be honest, Severance Tann was not a person who knew how to sympathize with her subordinates, but what made those soldiers shout out her name so sincerely and excitedly was her myth of invincibility!

Standing in the command center of the bridge of the Angel of Heaven, Severance Tann had tears on her cheeks without her knowing when.

Only she knew that she was unworthy of the expectations of these warriors, because it was her own misjudgment that sent them into this hopeless trap.

The bold words spoken before departure have now become a complete joke.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... The First Fleet hasn't collapsed yet. The Empire's fleet has suffered heavy losses. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked the claws at the corners of his mouth and said, "Indeed, we can launch a decapitation... operation against the Executor-class. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Bang! Severance Tann slammed her hands on the hollow plastic panel of the console again. Although her eyes were still bloodshot, her breathing was extremely heavy, and her chest was heaving violently, like an angry lioness, she was silent for just a few seconds, and then she said word by word: "Telegraph all the warships of the First Fleet. From now on, all actions will be under the command of the flagship."

She clenched her teeth, and spoke every word as if she had to use all her strength. "Now is not the time to fight back! Follow my command, arrange a defensive formation with the God's Messenger as the core! Cover the God's Messenger to deploy the hyperspace jammer and deploy the fleet beacon!"

Under her command, the warships of the First Fleet, which were originally fighting on their own, began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Severance Tann slammed her fists on the console again and said, "Let's start this belated decisive battle... over again!"
