The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2427: Battle of Two Heroes (Part )

2428: Battle of Two Heroes (Part )

Grand Admiral Thrawn is undoubtedly the most outstanding general of the Fourth Reich. But the most shocking battle he commanded was the one that took place in the Isol and Palin-Minor systems when he and I were both serving the Galactic Empire. Because that time, Grand Admiral Thrawn really gambled everything. He had never been so crazy, nor had he ever been so embarrassed. It was also because the person standing opposite him was also his best opponent. - "Memoirs of a Veteran of the Fourth Reich", Chapter 36, Section . Memoirs of Rell Bentin, Rear Admiral Staff Officer of the Fourth Reich Navy.

Dunn Wessex, the King of the North, finally showed his fangs like a cornered rabbit!

At his command, the last defensive fleet assembled on the outskirts of the planet Palin-Minor and immediately pounced ferociously towards the fourth, fifth and sixth squadrons left behind by Severance Tann!

Indeed, as Thrawn said, the fleet left by Severance Tann was all old-model battleships. Because her initial combat intention was to have the first fleet hold back Thrawn's fleet, and then the Titan battleship Aegis led the second fleet to break into the battlefield and establish victory, and the third to sixth fleets were to expand the victory.

Therefore, the first and second squadrons were the strongest in both quantity and quality. Tann handed over all five Revelation-class battleships to the first squadron, and all the most advanced battleships, such as the Hell Angels, Doomsday Battlefield, Behemoth, and Paladin, were also mostly divided between the first and second squadrons.

Naturally, although there appear to be 80 capital ships in the th, th and th fleets, most of them are second-line warships from the Clone Wars.

On the other hand, although Dunn-Wessex only had 60 battleships, 60 of them were the most advanced Imperial II-class Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire, and 40 Commander II-class Dreadnoughts, which were backward but still posed a deadly threat due to their terrifying energy power brought by their huge size. Such a force would naturally be invincible against the fleet left behind by Severance Tann!

Severance Tann also issued orders to the remaining fleet, requiring them to not retreat a single step and fight to the death!

Because she was a step slow in seeing through Thrawn's plan, although she immediately realized that the battle situation at that time required blocking the reinforcements of Palin-Minor, she was still unable to stop the Third Fleet from heading to the planet Isol as planned, which resulted in a shortage of manpower in the remaining fleet in the Palin-Minor system.

Now she ordered her most powerful force, the Second Squadron, to wait for the hyperspace channel of the Titan battleship God's Envoy to come to reinforce. At the same time, she ordered the Third Squadron to turn back immediately and return to the planet Palin Minor to reinforce and block the reinforcements from Dunn Wessex.

However, due to the current battlefield on the side of the Titan battleship God's Envoy, both sides are frantically operating the hyperspace channel, causing the channel to become very unstable. If the Third Squadron wants to reach the planet Palin-Minor, it must wait for two or three hours until the hyperspace channel gradually changes and bypasses the battlefield.

However, Dunn-Wessex has no such concerns!

Following his crazy order, three Commander II-class dreadnoughts opened fire at the same time, marking the beginning of the battlefield on the planet Palin-Minor!

……

At the same time, on the Titan battleship God's Messenger, the situation became grim.

On the remaining warships of the First Fleet, although the morale of the Dawn Kingdom navy soldiers was high, the condition of the warships could not be determined by their morale.

Those warships were basically in tatters in the previous battles, and even with the reinforcement of the Titan battleship God's Envoy, they were still being sunk. This put more and more pressure on the Titan battleship!

For Severance Tann, she now feels that although the overall strength of her Northern Fleet is obviously far superior to that of the Northern Fleet of the Galactic Empire, she seems to be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength on every battlefield.

In fact, if you carefully judge the deployment of Severance Tann's forces, you can understand why this was a humiliating defeat for her. Because due to Thrawn's strategy, active and passive factors combined, Tann's Northern Fleet was actually divided into five at a certain time period!

The first squadron that was trapped by Thrawn was one, the fourth, fifth and sixth squadrons that stayed behind to guard the planet Palin-Minor were the second, the Divine Envoy that went to reinforce was the third, the second squadron that had to wait for the hyperspace channel to open before going to reinforce was the fourth, and the third squadron that was shuttling back and forth between the two planets of Isol and Palin-Minor was the fifth.

Such a mobilization that is led by the nose will of course result in insufficient troops on every battlefield!

Such embarrassment, such confusion, such bewilderment, Thrawn's simple strategy has shattered the Northern Fleet in an instant. Such a battle situation, how could it not make Severance Tann depressed! How could it not make her ashamed!

But is Thrawn really that easy?

No! He is not at ease at all, he is also on the verge of collapse!

Because the Titan battleship, the Envoy of God, was killing everyone in Thrawn's fleet, as if it had directly become invincible!

Even without using doomsday weapons, the conventional weapons of the Titan battleship of the God's Envoy would still be doomsday for the Imperial battleships! The terrifying high-energy laser array kept flashing, and each flash was extremely powerful. Even the Imperial-class Star Destroyer could not withstand a few shots.

However, in order to prevent the Titan battleship God's Envoy from opening the hyperspace channel, Thrawn had to fight desperately. He also knew that once the Second Fleet arrived at the battlefield, the fresh force of 50 capital ships, 1000 light cruisers and destroyers could immediately tear his exhausted fleet apart.

Moreover, once the reinforcements arrive, Thrawn is very sure that the Super Star Destroyer Leela will be bombarded by the doomsday weapon of the Archangel in the first place!

Maybe it was a bit lucky just now, but now, the Leela Super Star Destroyer, which had been hit hard by several rounds of salvos from the Angel, would really be hit by the doomsday weapon!

And once the Lila is sunk, it is certain that Dunn-Wessex will turn around and leave, and there is no possibility of reinforcement!

Thrawn ordered his fleet to madly besiege the Titan battleship God's Envoy, and activated all the hyperspace blockers they carried to prevent hyperspace jumps. Not only that, his four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers also turned their gravity well projectors to maximum power. The interference energy of the four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers made this battlefield area look like a small star in the hyperspace navigation system!

A hyperspace jump can never target a star, so the jump cannot be made.

However, the fleet navigation system of the Messenger of God was fighting against this interference, trying to form a stable hyperspace channel.

At this moment, the Titan battleship USS Divine Envoy was not only engaged in a fierce firefight with the Imperial fleet, but was also fighting against Thrawn's entire fleet on three battlefields, namely electronic warfare and hyperspace navigation!

This is the power of the Titan battleship!!
