The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2429: Battle of Two Heroes (Part )

2430: Battle of Two Heroes (Part )

If the previous Titan battleship, the Messenger of God, was unstoppable and invincible, then the current Messenger of God is simply a killing god!

Anything that stands in the way of the Titan battleship, whether it is an Imperial-class Star Destroyer or a Nightwatch-class frigate, will eventually be torn into pieces!

Thrawn had actually made preparations before this. He deployed heavy troops on the left wing of Severance Tann's attack, and other warships were also surrounded. But now, he was surprised to find that the Titan warship surrounded in the middle could not be controlled by this net at all!

The strange position around the Titan battleship of the God's Envoy greatly strengthened the Titan battleship! This is the role of the phenomenon generator.

The phenomenon generator is an extremely powerful and extremely strange equipment recorded in the technological data of the Titan battleship God's Messenger. The initial research on this equipment came from the study of extreme cosmic phenomena such as wormholes, space, and black holes, and it creates a large-scale astronomical phenomenon by changing the surrounding universe.

The effect of this astronomical phenomenon actually does not distinguish between friend and foe, but as long as the performance of the Dawn Kingdom's warships is adjusted in a targeted manner, it will become an extremely powerful weapon.

For example, within the range of this astronomical phenomenon, all energy weapons will be enhanced by the cosmic radiation generated around them after being fired, so all laser weapons within the range are enhanced. However, the Galactic Empire mainly uses turbolaser cannons, which are essentially a group of compressed explosive gas plasma fired, which will not be enhanced by cosmic radiation, but will reduce the range and power due to the spread of explosive gas.

In fact, if the Galactic Empire's warships could test it at this time, they would find that the power of their point defense laser cannons has also been improved. Of course, this improvement is useless for the current battle situation - after all, there are no fighters for them to fight.

As for the deflector shield, it is even simpler, just point to a specific frequency. All along, because the main defense is turbolaser cannons, the Dawn Kingdom's warship shields are mainly biased towards thermal and explosive energy defense. The Galactic Empire, on the other hand, is biased towards kinetic and thermal energy defense. There are overlaps and differences between the two sides, so this can be well targeted.

Of course, there are more functions besides these. Under a series of comprehensive effects, the battleships of the Galactic Empire have been weakened within a range, while the Titan battleship of the Messenger of Heaven has been greatly strengthened!

Now the Titan battleship USS Divine Envoy was charging towards the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer on the left wing, and no battleship could withstand its charge.

The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer could only flee in panic, and Severance Tann led the Titan battleship Aegis in hot pursuit. Finally, after more than 10 minutes of pursuit, the Aegis broke through the net set up by Thrawn, and then rushed over to lock onto the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer and fired a crazy volley!

The Interdictor-class Star Destroyers quickly split and disintegrated amidst countless flames and explosions, and a gravity well array consisting of four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers was finally weakened!

Soon Severance Tann also received the communication from the Second Squadron - now they have made a breakthrough in the calculation speed of hyperspace jump. Now it will take another hour to complete the calculation and start the jump!

"We need to sink another one of those strange Star Destroyers!" Severance Tann stared at the other Interdictor-class ship closest to her. "Attack! While the phenomenon generator is still working, kill through Thrawn's formation once again!!"

Admiral Trench didn't say anything, he just kept hitting his palms with the pointer. It was obvious that he was under tremendous pressure.

Because at this point in the situation, the only hope for turning the battle around lies in the invincible combat power of the Titan battleship, the Messenger of God.

Whether the Divine Messenger will collapse first under the siege of hundreds of warships, or successfully hold out until the arrival of the second squadron, this even concerns the life and death of both sides!

The Divine Envoy is still killing people everywhere. Since the phenomenon generator was turned on, this Titan battleship has sunk 19 battleships, more than 90 light cruisers and frigates, and more than 40 battleships have been severely damaged.

As for why the light cruiser and frigate were not seriously damaged? It was simply because such small ships could only be torn into pieces when facing the violent firepower of the Titan battleship God's Envoy!

The Lila, an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, completed its shield cycle once again, and rushed towards the Angel with great ferocity, as if it was going to ram it head-on!

The naval officers and soldiers who are selected to board the Executor-class Star Destroyer are all the most loyal and elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire. They are also willing to sacrifice everything for the victory of the Galactic Empire.

The two extremely huge super battleships fought again, and the two sides were almost shooting at each other face to face. There was no fancy moves at all, only a competition of firepower, a competition of shields, and... a competition of wills!!

But the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer once again proved itself to be no match for the Archangel-class Titan battleship, especially now that the Archangel had activated its phenomenon generator. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and the shields of both battleships were destroyed.

Although the result was the same, the Lila was surrounded by hundreds of battleships and more than 500 light cruisers providing fire support, while the Divine Envoy was surrounded by only two Divine Revelation-class battleships.

Countless artillery fire fell on the Titan battleship, causing countless explosions and flames. However, the Titan battleship remained unmoved. The most advanced voltage-type armor coating isolated the powerful firepower. The Titan battleship still resisted!

Thrawn could only command his fleet to fight and retreat, because the losses he had suffered were already very serious. If he continued to fight like this, his morale would collapse first. In fact, even now, many captains of warships have begun to shrink back and are unwilling to follow Thrawn's orders and continue the attack.

More than 30 minutes later, the second Interdictor-class Star Destroyer was finally destroyed.

The remaining two Interceptor-class ships had already fled in panic to the very back of the array, and it was almost impossible to attack them.

The cosmic radiation field around the Titan battleship Ulysses Sinister began to gradually thin and disappear, and the phenomenon generator finally stopped working. The device needed to be charged and cooled before it could continue to be used.

And along with it, the light in Severance Tann's eyes also disappeared.

She knew that she had lost the bet.

In the communication channel, the commander of the Second Squadron told her that the Second Squadron had locked onto the hyperspace beacon of the Divine Envoy and would immediately start jumping after the communication ended. It was expected to arrive in 10 minutes.

but……

Severance Tann's face was almost pale as she looked at the series of white lights emitted from the empty space in the distance and the crazy alarms from the radar department.

In the end, the Galactic Empire's reinforcements arrived first... There was only a 10-minute difference between the two sides. However, it was these 10 minutes that determined the outcome of the battle!

That's right, she lost... completely lost...

The 4th, 5th and 6th squadrons were ultimately unable to stop the new fleet brought by Dunn-Wessex. After resisting for two hours, they finally retreated, allowing Dunn-Wessex to pass through the Palin-Minor galaxy and head to the battlefield.

The Third Squadron was still on the road. Their only achievement was to arrive in time when the three squadrons were defeated, and then cover the retreat of the remaining warships - yes, they were on the road again. During the entire battle, all this squadron could do was run around in the hyperspace channel. This was already the third time.

There were not many remaining warships of the First Fleet, most of which were destroyed by a fleet that Thrawn had detached when the Aegis attacked the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer.

When the Second Fleet arrived at the battlefield, the Titan battleship USS Divine was struggling under the siege of Imperial warships, and although the Super Star Destroyer USS Leela was severely damaged, it at least had the power to withdraw from the battlefield and had now reached the edge of the battlefield.

Apart from anything else, the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer's extremely solid structure has been tested in actual combat - yes, it was the Lusankaya that held out for several hours before being sunk in the Battle of Kira.

After all, Severance Tann failed to issue the order to launch the doomsday weapon at the fleeing Leela Super Star Destroyer.

Of course, if she did so, Admiral Trench would stop her. In the current war situation, launching the doomsday weapon and then letting the battleship enter a one-hour cooling period is tantamount to suicide.

Admiral Trench has now taken over command of the fleet. He is directing the Second Squadron to launch an assault to bring the Angel back to the fleet's formation.

The Imperial fleet commanded by Thrawn was also retreating, especially the Super Star Destroyer Leela. Under Thrawn's instructions, his fleet had been withstanding the bombardment of the upgraded particle lances of the Paladin-class battlecruisers brought by the Second Fleet, and only began to retreat after the Leela withdrew from the battlefield.

The Dunn-Wessex fleet watched all this coldly from a farther distance, making sure that Thrawn had completed everything he was supposed to do before leaving the battlefield.

This confrontation between the best and most powerful commanders in the galaxy today ended so abruptly.

黎明王国方面，神使号泰坦战舰重创，至少要修理半年时间。除此之外，3艘神示级战列舰被击沉、两艘重创，54艘地狱天使级战列巡洋舰、14艘巨兽级战列巡洋舰、17艘科尔级战列巡洋舰、20艘胜利II级歼星舰、9艘玛莎级重巡洋舰、1艘杜诺夫级战列巡洋舰被击沉。轻巡洋舰和驱逐舰被击沉900多艘。

87 naval officers and soldiers at all levels were killed or wounded, and more than 9000 imperial soldiers were captured. This was because the Galactic Empire's fleet was the first to withdraw from the battlefield, so it was the Kingdom of Dawn who cleaned up the battlefield.

而银河帝国方面，莉拉号超级歼星舰重创，而且必须返回夸特星球的船坞修理。73艘帝国级歼星舰、11艘骑士级歼星舰、7艘帝国II级歼星舰、38艘胜利II级歼星舰、17艘辩护者级重巡洋舰、1艘追迹者级航空母舰被击沉。轻巡洋舰和护卫舰被击沉700多艘。各级海军官兵伤亡130多万。

On the surface, the super battleships of both sides were severely damaged and had to return to port for long-term repairs. In addition, the fleets of both sides suffered very heavy losses, and basically both sides lost the possibility of strategic offensive, but in fact, this battle was undoubtedly a disastrous defeat for Severance Tann!

She has more advanced warships, more of them, and even more power in the rear, as well as the most powerful and advanced Titan battleship in the galaxy.

However, she was at a 50-50 odds with Admiral Thrawn, whose warships were at an extreme disadvantage in terms of performance and number, and who was also scheming and scheming behind her.

But even so, what could fight Thrawn evenly was the terrifying combat power of the Titan battleship God's Envoy, the most advanced and top-level scientific research and engineering team headed by Arroyo Barro, and the never-give-up fighting spirit of the navy officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn. But it had nothing to do with her, Severance Tann.

……

After Admiral Trench led the fleet to assemble in the Isol system, they quickly retreated and returned to the administrative and military core of the North - the planet Mygeeto.

During these few days, Severance Tann was locked up in the confinement room. In fact, when the Imperial fleet retreated, Admiral Trench had several B-1 combat robots carry Severance Tann away.

He didn't want to punish Tann. As they were both admirals, he didn't have the qualifications to do so. He did this because he was worried that Severance Tann would commit suicide.

In the past few days, Severance Tann has been squatting in the corner of the confinement room, ignoring the comfortable soft bed and delicious food. She only drinks some water and eats two slices of bread every day. The rest of the time she sits on the floor in the corner, burying her head deeply between her knees.

Admiral Trench was not a man who was very good at comforting others. He could only give a few words of advice, then took over the defense of the North and began to redeploy the North's forces.

Now in the Northern Star Region, the Geth still have the strength to fight, but their warships need to be upgraded, and the Ten Thousand Throne-class battlecruisers given to them are still under development. Although the Trade Federation has begun to help them build production lines and produce some parts and hull armor, it will take at least two years for such warships to be put into the battlefield.

As for the fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn, about half of the warships were still intact. The main ones were the Second Squadron waiting to reinforce, and the Third Squadron that was always running around. These two squadrons suffered almost no losses, so at least this could ensure that they could maintain the existing defense line on the battlefield in the north, making the Galactic Empire dare not covet them.

But beyond that, you can't ask for more.
