Chapter 645: The Battle of Christophsis (8)
"Investigate the origin of this Fleet immediately!" Admiral Wullf Yularen said sharply.
An Intelligence Officer on the Battleship immediately began to look through the records and then raised his head and said: "There is no news, all the Border Posts between us and the Separatists have not detected such a Large-Scale Hyperspace Navigation Record, and there are no internal lines everywhere for feedback on which Fleet has recently left."
"Take back all Starfighters, start Resupply immediately, and the Pilots take turns to rest. Notify the Warships, the Deflector Shields will recycle, and the Main Guns will remain charged." Wullf Yularen pondered for a moment, and issued an order, "Let us report the Separatist Information about the Unknown Fleet to the Supreme Strategic Command."
"Calculate the coming direction of the Enemy Warships." Obi-Wan Kenobi suddenly remembered something and asked.
"It should be...from Tatooine." The Radar Soldier hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Tatooine? Didn't the Hutts close all the Hyperspace Lanes? Even after we rescued Gardulla, they were only willing to open it to us for a month." Wullf Yularen said, a little surprised.
"Let's leave these matters to Diplomacy. We are just dealing with the enemy in front of us." Obi-Wan Kenobi said in a deep voice, connected to his Apprentice's Transceiver and said, "Anakin! Enemy reinforcements have been sent! They may have a conspiracy, so don't act rashly."
Afterwards, under the command of Admiral Wullf Yularen, the Republic Fleet began to recover Battle Formation. After a series of fierce battles before, they still have 18 Venator-class Star Destroyers, 12 Arquitens-class Light Cruisers, more than 7,600 Starfighters, and more than 400 Bombers.
At this moment, Admiral Trench's Fleet, huddled in the shadow of the Moon next to Christophsis, only has 14 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, 3 Munificent-class Frigates, 3 Recusant-class Light Destroyers, 5 Lucrehulk-class Battleships and a Providence-class Destroyer as his Flagship.
As for the Vulture Droid Starfighters, there is no more than 1 left, and the only remaining ones are more than 100, which have all entered the atmosphere of Christophsis to cover the Ground Troops in operations.
Compared with the Fleet after the war and the follow-up Support Fleet, Admiral Trench's Fleet has less than half of its strength, which can be described as extremely miserable.
A moment later, a White Light flickered violently, and 20 Large Warships broke away from the Hyperspace Lane and suddenly appeared in space.
Among these Warships, 10 are short and thick, with a small bow and a large stern, which looks like a raised character; while the other 10 Warships are larger and longer, with a flat bow, which looks like a T. These Battleships are even larger than the Venator-class!
"The scan is complete. 10 Warships are 940 Meters long, and the other 10 Warships are 1,300 Meters long! The Models are unknown!" the Radar Soldier said loudly.
Admiral Wullf Yularen looked at the images sent back by the sensor, and frowned, "What type of Warship are these? Immediately notify the Intelligence Department for comparison! Order the Warships to disperse into Battle Formation G and open fire! "
After thinking about it, he decided to take a look first. The first batch of 1,100 Starfighters had already taken off, so let's test the opponent's situation now.
"The Enemy Warships are starting to slow down!"
"They stopped!"
"There is a strong Energy Response at the front of the Enemy's Large Unknown Warships! There is an obvious phenomenon of Energy Storage!" The Radar Soldiers kept reporting.
Wullf Yularen's heart tightened, and he said loudly: "Order the Warships to increase the output of the front Deflector Shield!"
"The Starfighter group has 140 seconds to contact the Enemy!"
"The Enemy Marza-class Heavy Cruisers have changed, wait a minute..."
"It's a Missile Launcher!" The Radar Soldier yelled loudly after zooming in on the sensor image, "A large number of Missile Launchers! According to visual inspection, there are... 140 Missile Launchers on each Marza-class Heavy Cruiser of different sizes and specifications! This is... this, It's a Guided Missile Cruiser!!"
Wullf Yularen only felt a gust of cold water pouring from head to toe, and his intuition as a General told him... things were not good!
It is no longer possible to give him time to think on the battlefield...
The 1,100 Starfighters of the Republic Fleet are constantly approaching this emerging Separatist Fleet.
At this moment, Dense Missiles were fired from the densely packed Missile Launchers on the 10 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers!
In just one minute, 10 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers fired Thousands of Missiles!
These Missiles did not aim at any target but spread out directly, flew directly into the Airspace, and then...
Detonate!!
