The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2535: Destruction vs. Eye of Palpatine

2356, Destroyer vs. Eye of Palpatine

There are not many Interdictor-class Star Destroyers in the Galactic Empire Navy, but they left a deep impression on the Dawn Kingdom’s military.

In the Northern Battle more than half a year ago, it was the excellent use of the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer by Imperial Navy Admiral Mis-Lo-Nurudo Thrawn that caused the Dawn Kingdom's Titan battleship, the Archangel, which was known as the strongest battleship in the galaxy, to suffer severe damage and is now lying in the shipyard.

So, the Kingdom of Dawn was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. They had many ways to blow the tough and powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyer into a pile of scrap metal. However, they were still very wary of the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer.

Because as long as the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer exists, the Galactic Empire Navy will always retain the possibility of a counterattack.

In fact, this is also a reflection of the productivity advantage of the Galactic Empire - they don't need to coordinate multiple types of ships like the Kingdom of Dawn, or have all kinds of strange functions. They only need to pile up tonnage, power, and firepower, and then use Interdictor-class Star Destroyers to create conditions to fight you head-on.

And now, the appearance of the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer definitely means that the Galactic Empire has taken action!

"Leave immediately!" General Grievous shouted immediately, "Start the jump engine!"

"The jump path is being calculated. The estimated remaining time is 3 hours and 27 minutes." said the B-1 combat robot operating the console.

"What did you say! I told you to start calculating the jump path before!" General Grievous was furious. He suddenly recalled some not-so-good scenarios.

It was when he was being hunted by the Galactic Republic on the battleship Venom Fang. Ah, yes, Venom Fang, the first ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, along with the Destruction.

General Grievous began to feel for a moment that he would never get along with the Conqueror-class battleship in his life. And to be honest, during the battle on the planet Salukami, the second Conqueror-class battleship equipped with the Dragon's Breath was actually sunk under his command, but he was not on the ship at the time.

"The jump calculation is all normal. The time required is 3 hours and 26 minutes." said the B-1 combat robot.

"It's the influence of that Interceptor-class Star Destroyer." After all, the T-series tactical robot has a super processor, and it immediately calculated all the interference factors.

"Prepare for battle immediately!" General Grievous said, "Get out of the planet's gravity, increase the detection of hyperspace fluctuations, and destroy those Interdictors as soon as possible!"

"Roger!" The T-series tactical robot responded immediately.

The huge body of the battleship Destroyer began to turn and flew towards the small imperial fleet.

This Imperial fleet was not large, with 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyers, 10 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, and 2 Interdictor-class Star Destroyers. If it was a head-on battle, the Destroyer was fully confident that it would completely destroy them in a short period of time.

And there is no need to be so troublesome at this moment. It will be enough to destroy the two Interdictor-class ships!

The Destroyer continued to move forward. Although it was only one ship, it still brought with it a terrifying oppressive force.

The Galactic Empire's fleet also did not dare to fight. They began to disperse and flee into the distance, keeping their distance at all times.

"Charge the Star Destroyer! Fire!" General Grievous was furious when he saw these cowardly Imperial warships. They were clearly trying to delay time and they must not be allowed to succeed.

Following his order, terrible energy gathered in the center of the three huge energy rails in front of the battleship Destruction, and then a blood-red particle beam was instantly fired out!

However, this shot missed. The warships of the Galactic Empire were very scattered and were always maneuvering irregularly, making it difficult to hit them directly at this distance.

General Grievous, who was extremely angry, continued to order a pursuit, and with the linear acceleration of the USS Destroyer, he caught up with the two Victory II-class Star Destroyers and destroyed them with almost no effort.

But he still felt unsatisfied, and the two Interdictor-class Star Destroyers were still running around under the cover of the Imperial fleet.

This made General Grievous feel more and more uneasy. He felt that the Galactic Empire might be hiding something. If this small fleet was just waiting for more Imperial-class Star Destroyers, then with the high-energy electromagnetic pulse cannon of the Destroyer, they could still limit their siege and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

What I'm afraid of is... something else coming... a Commander II-class dreadnought, or an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer?

General Grievous stared at the control screen of the jump engine. The countdown of more than three hours was still going on. He turned his head and said to the tactical robot, "Contact the headquarters immediately and ask them to provide the location of the Galactic Empire's Executor-class Super Star Destroyer!"

"Roger!"

A moment later, the intelligence he wanted was immediately returned. The movement of this super battleship is very critical, and the actions of super battleships are always accompanied by violent hyperspace fluctuations, which can be easily detected by hyperspace outposts. Therefore, both the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire have invested a lot of intelligence in this regard, so both sides are basically very clear about the location of their respective super battleships.

It is currently known that the Galactic Empire has a total of 5 Executor-class Star Destroyers. Except for the Lusankaya which was sunk in the battle of Kira, the Leela is still undergoing repairs in the north; the Executor is in the Delon system, serving as Darth Vader's flagship, guarding the homeland of the Kingdom of Dawn.

In addition, there is Wilhuff Tarkin's Executor-class Star Destroyer, which is currently docked on the planet Alderaan. The last one is at the Imperial Center, the capital of the Galactic Empire, which is also the flagship of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine.

Therefore, unless the Galactic Empire builds more Executor-class ships, there should be no Super Star Destroyers coming.

"Keep chasing the Interdictor! Get out of here as soon as possible!" General Grievous shouted.

"Roger!" The T series tactical robot faithfully carried out the order.

Time passed, and the USS Destroyer chased for a long time and finally caught one of the Interdictor-class Star Destroyers. Amid the angry roar of General Grievous, the USS Destroyer continued to bombard the Star Destroyer.

Finally, after 10 minutes, the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer was destroyed, and the jump engine had only 40 minutes left.

However, since the two Interceptor-class ships escaped separately, the other one had already reached the vicinity of Planet 4 in the Kashyyyk system, a gas giant. The only remaining Interceptor-class ship planned to hide there to continue to evade pursuit and delay time.

At this time, on the bridge of the battleship Destroy, an alarm sounded from the hyperspace detection department.

"General, the fluctuations of a large-scale hyperspace jump have been detected. It has been confirmed to be a medium-sized fleet." said the T-series tactical robot.

"Are there more reinforcements?" General Grievous looked at the sensor screen. "What are the chances of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer?"

"This hyperspace fluctuation is far greater than that of the Executor-class. Currently existing warships are unable to reach this level of fluctuation. It can only be a fleet." The tactical robot replied.

"That's good! Give up chasing the other Interdictor-class ship, and retreat immediately after the jump engine is ready!" General Grievous ordered. However, a few minutes later, under the dazzling white light, an extremely huge figure suddenly appeared in the outer space of the planet Kashyyyk!

"What is this? An asteroid?" General Grievous looked at the image sent back by the optical sensor.

Even though this thing jumped over through hyperspace, General Grievous still asked this question - because this thing is so huge!

With a length of nearly 20,000 meters and a thickness of over 10,000 meters, it is definitely an asteroid, and a fairly large one at that! If it is a battleship, this size is undoubtedly the largest battleship in the entire Milky Way! !

"After analysis, it was confirmed to be a super-large battleship." The tactical robot said: "The rock structure has a special material that blocks the scan, and the data of the battleship cannot be confirmed."

"The secret weapon of the Galactic Empire? Don't fight to the end, get away as soon as possible!" General Grievous looked at this huge asteroid battleship, his tone was very solemn.

At the same time, in the control center at the front of Palpatine's Eye, a huge spherical mechanical eye with a diameter of more than ten meters was looking around. Soon, this eye locked onto the battleship Destroy.

The densely packed hosts and computing cores around it kept flashing indicator lights as numerous as stars, and the super quantum computer was running at high speed. This was the super AI core that controlled this super battleship - The Will!

")()*&*&……%" A voice that was completely incomprehensible came from the pronunciation device of the will. It seemed to be saying something, but no one could understand it, and it did not transmit the voice through communication.

Then, an extremely powerful electromagnetic wave and data stream spread out instantly! The communications of the entire galaxy were almost completely taken over at this moment! Under the terrible electronic interference, even the sensors could not function normally, let alone the fire control system!

The super AI, combined with a size and energy level several times that of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, gives the Eye of Palpatine terrifying soft-kill capabilities.

Immediately afterwards, this huge asteroid battleship began to accelerate and flew straight towards the battleship Destruction.

At the same time, on the flagship of the Imperial Fleet, the fleet commander was also extremely surprised by such an asteroid. "What is this thing? Why did the IFF system identify it as a friendly force? Send a communication immediately!"

"Sir, our communications have been completely cut off!" the signalman shouted, "We can't even get in touch with headquarters!"

"Damn it! Aren't they friendly forces? Why even our communications were cut off!" The commander punched the console in frustration.

"It should be a friendly force, sir. This giant battleship is approaching the battleship Destroy..." the adjutant said, "Wait a minute, a missile launch has been detected! It is indeed attacking the Destroy!"

"Don't worry about it! We have completed our task of delaying time, retreat!" said the commander with a wave of his hand.

This warship was too strange. It didn't communicate with them at all. It just took action on its own right after it came over. Coupled with the indiscriminate electronic interference, the commander of the Imperial Fleet had a bad feeling.

"Sir... Sir..." The adjutant's voice suddenly trembled.

"I told you to start the hyperspace engine as soon as possible and leave here!" the commander said angrily, "Why don't you move!"

"I...can't start! Can't start the hyperspace drive! Access denied!" the navigator shouted.

"What do you mean? What do you mean access denied?" the commander was furious.

"We have lost control of the system!" The navigator raised his hands from the console, only to see that no one was operating it, but the console was still issuing instructions.

"Weapon systems access denied!"

"The master control system denies access..."

"Power system access denied..."

Terrible news continued to come from various departments, and the fleet commander was shocked, "What happened?"

"Battleship...our battleship is turning! Someone is remotely controlling our spaceship!" the adjutant screamed loudly.

"Quick! Start the backup system! Restart the main system! Take control back for me! Quick!" The commander was also panicked.

"Invalid... All invalid! We have completely lost control of any system!" the technician's voice trembled.

At this moment, all the lights on the entire bridge went out, leaving only the red emergency lights! In this blood-red environment, all the screens on the bridge went out in an instant!

Then, a huge, terrifying mechanical eyeball image appeared on the screen! Not only on the screen, but also on the holographic combat star map, a huge eyeball projection appeared! !

Countless eyes stared coldly at these tiny humans on countless screens.

"*&^*%&*$%$#%$#" A fast but incomprehensible voice came from the communication.

"It's that ship! That's the ship!" the adjutant exclaimed, pointing at the eyeball on the screen.

Everyone now understood which ship he was talking about. But what did it matter? Endless fear rose in everyone's heart. They could only watch in despair as their warship turned and flew straight towards the Battleship Destruction.

"No! It's asking us to attack the Destruction!" the adjutant shouted, "It's asking us to commit suicide!!"

"Hurry up and find a way! Take over the spaceship! Quickly! We are not enough to withstand one shot from the Destroyer!" The commander could only keep giving orders to take over the spaceship.

But it's no use!

The entire galaxy, including the Imperial fleet and even the civilian spacecraft on the planet Kashyyyk, were all taken over by the super AI "will" of Palpatine's Eye and flew towards the battleship Destroyer.

From these spaceships came the angry or terrified cries of humans and even Wookiees, but this could not change anything.

At the same time, the interior of the battleship Destroyer was also in a very bad state.

The T-series tactical robots spoke with a murmur, "General! Our ship has encountered electromagnetic interference! We are reinforcing the defense wall..."
