The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2489 Imperial Reinforcements

2490: Imperial Reinforcements

The reinforcements of the Galactic Empire finally arrived. 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyers were neatly arranged in a square formation and appeared in the universe accompanied by white light.

These warships launched an attack on the chaotic battlefield immediately without any pause!

On the bridge of the flagship Steadfast, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Admiral Afsheen Makati of the Galactic Empire had a cold expression on his face. He turned to his staff officer and said, "It turns out that those dark prophets are useless. They have no purpose other than making things worse."

The staff officer nodded and said, "You are right, General. This is indeed a very dangerous signal. Those mysterious dark cults and force users are beginning to come to the fore and want to seize the power in our hands..."

"So, they finally made a big mistake." Afshin Makati sneered, "After the idiot Orson Krennic transferred Governor Tarkin away, this nerd who knew nothing could only obey the blind orders of those dark prophets. It goes without saying what the result will be. In the end, it is still us real soldiers who have to clean up the mess."

"Restoring order and saving the Death Star from riots and betrayal, General Makati, will be a great achievement!" said the staff officer. "I believe that after this, His Majesty the Emperor will be able to see your strength more clearly."

“Hahahahaha!” Admiral Makati laughed triumphantly. He waved his hand and said, “Well, those false names don’t matter. In the end, it’s our duty to serve the Empire. Pass the order, split the troops into two groups, and carry out orbital bombing on the surface of the planet Talasia! At the same time, eliminate all enemies around the Death Star! Take off the fighter formation! Don’t give them any chances!”

"Yes!!"

40 Imperial-class Star Destroyers immediately began launching fighter jets, and when the hangar platforms of these warships were opened, what flew out were not TIE/LN light fighters, but fighter jets with obviously different shapes!

Ordinary TIE/LN light fighters have two flat hexagonal wings on both sides of the spherical cabin, forming an H shape as a whole. However, the wings of the fighter that flew out this time were sharp, like two double-edged daggers piercing straight ahead.

These new fighters are all the latest TIE Interceptor fighters developed by the Xina Fleet System! This is a fighter developed to counter the fighter advantage of the Kingdom of Dawn. The TIE Interceptor fighter has enhanced firepower and maneuverability, and has been qualitatively improved in all aspects compared to ordinary TIE fighters!

If it weren't for the attack on the Death Star, the Imperial military would not be willing to put their new fighter jets into battle so quickly.

Fighters were launched from 40 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and soon the number of fighters taking off exceeded 1000, including 300 TIE Interceptors! A large number of fighters rushed into the vicinity of the Death Star and engaged in a fierce battle with the Dawn Kingdom's Ghost fighters.

Admiral Afshin-Makati has made full preparations. Among his fleet, there are four Imperial-class Star Destroyers, which are command models with enhanced sensors, detectors and flight control command centers. On the battlefield, these four Imperial-class Star Destroyers will provide anti-stealth and tactical guidance for their fighters to ensure that they can detect and destroy those stealth fighters.

……

"A new type of Empire fighter has been discovered! All squadrons reorganize and prepare to engage the enemy!!" Inside the complex interior of the Death Star, the Dawn Kingdom's ace pilot Li Yifei immediately notified all squadron members after receiving the notification.

There are still more than 200 fighters of the Kingdom of Dawn still in action, but most of them were scattered in the previous battles, and their energy was gradually depleted. But when they found that the reinforcements of the Empire were coming, they resolutely continued to fight.

This time, they had no intention of returning alive! And now their mission objectives have not been completed. Although the Death Star has suffered a serious bombing, it is still far from enough to shake this super battle space station with the firepower of those old warships that came this time.

Therefore, they need more time to create more opportunities for their agents to destroy the Death Star's energy system!

Li Yifei immediately recalled his squadron, reorganized it in a short time, and then rushed towards the densely packed Imperial fighter jets.

Almost at the first moment of the confrontation between the two sides, Li Yifei and others felt tremendous pressure!

Those new Empire fighters were really too fast! Not only fast, but also very flexible! With the help of the combat computers, those TIE Interceptors showed almost incredible maneuverability, and the Ghost fighters were completely unable to keep up with their movements.

Moreover, the firepower of these TIE Interceptor fighters is also very strong. On the left and right double-edged dagger-like wings, four sets of laser cannons are installed, and there are micro-missile pods installed on the inner side of the wings. Almost as soon as they met, overwhelming laser beams and micro-missiles were fired at them!

Even if the Wraith fighters were in stealth mode, it would be of no use, because these TIE interceptor fighters had obviously further upgraded their avionics systems and combat computers. They were almost completely synchronized with the warships responsible for anti-stealth and tactical command in the rear, and responded to the movements of the Wraith fighters in real time.

In the first wave of fire, 7 Ghost fighters were destroyed, and from the communications of other squadrons, it can be known that this air battle is completely hopeless. There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of both quantity and performance!

Li Yifei shook his head with emotion. He could foresee that the Ghost Fighter, which had accompanied him for more than 20 years, could no longer hold on. The modern battlefield no longer belonged to them.

Although the Wraith fighter could still rely on its stealth function to continue to shine on the battlefield before, with the production of the Galactic Empire's TIE interceptor and the mass production of the improved TIE fighter, the Wraith fighter is no match at all.

The future air battles will be carried out by Sabre fighters!

But now... Li Yifei's eyes became sharp, the battle is not over yet!

"Disperse immediately! Form a two-plane formation to delay time!" Li Yifei decisively issued a combat order, "Collect as much combat data as possible and send it back to the rear for analysis!"

Each of these ace pilots reached a tacit understanding at the first moment. They didn't even need to be commanded, and immediately and spontaneously formed dozens of two-plane formations and flew in all directions.

The TIE interceptor fighters were in hot pursuit, but due to the complicated situation inside the Death Star, even the advanced TIE interceptor fighters could not quickly shoot down all the Ghost fighters!

……

However, the fight on the fighter side was only a small part of the battlefield. At this time, Admiral Makati's fleet had already launched a ruthless orbital bombardment on the planet Talasia! !
