Chapter 2032: Surprise attack
Chapter 2032: Chapter 2028: Surprise attack
When the Starbase controlled by Lux survived the explosion of the star-destroying bombs, the Imperial Army's counterattack began!
"Fourth and fifth fleets, flank them from both sides! Annihilate them all!"Tesla ordered the general attack.
"Brothers, charge with me! Don't let those npcs take all the credit!"Eamon's side also led the fleet to charge forward.
"Charge all the fortress weapons! Release the Drone Formation!"Lux controlled the weapons of the interstellar base and began to counterattack.
"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat!"The commander of the resistance saw that the situation could not be salvaged and immediately gave the order to retreat. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The Imperial Army had the advantage to begin with. Not only did they surpass the resistance in terms of fleet size, but they also had a large number of cultivators supporting them. Their strength was strong enough to destroy the resistance fleet.., now that the interstellar base had been seized by others, the resistance was even more powerless to resist when all kinds of fortress weapons were fired at full power.
A few hours later, the battle had completely ended. The resistance fleet only had one main ship and more than a dozen frigates fleeing for their lives. The rest were all annihilated in Salhu corridor.
The Imperial Army, which had won a great victory, began to celebrate wantonly after cleaning up the battlefield. However, the resistance was in a bad mood. After hearing that there were a large number of experts in the imperial army.., the Vassali Legion had no choice but to send their own troops to participate in the battle. Unfortunately, the Vassali Legion's upper echelons did not know that their so-called experts were not worth mentioning in front of the cultivators of the five directions.
Other than the Vassali Legion sending out their own core fleet, the "Players"of the resistance were not idle either. The various large guilds all mobilized, and their main forces all headed for the Sarhu corridor, it was obvious that they were planning to block the Imperial Army's fleets within the Sargo Cloister.
After all, after leaving the Sargo cloister, the resistance would have nothing to defend against. Behind the Sargo Cloister was a vast star region. This place was densely populated with planets, and there were gravity wells that could warp everywhere, the imperial army had countless attacking routes that they could choose. It was impossible for them to concentrate on defending.
Hence, in order to defend against the enemy, the "Players"of the Resistance Army and the Vassali Legion were practically all out, wanting to defeat the Imperial Army's attack.
However, just as the main fleet of the resistance army was about to enter the SALHU cloister, Aurelia's fleet quietly arrived in the Dominic Galaxy.
"Lord Commander, we are about to enter the Vassali Legion's Territory!"The Adjutant reported to Aurelia. Back then, the Merchant Alliance and the Vassali Empire had split up a portion of the Dominic Galaxy, although both sides had given up on the Dominic Galaxy ever since the appearance of the "Players", the boundaries of the former territories were still effective.
"En! Send a few Lone Star class unmanned scout ships to scout ahead. The Vassali people are good at using gravity mines, we have to be careful!"Aurelia said.
"Yes! Lord Commander!"The adjutant immediately relayed the order.
"Whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh..."more than a dozen lone star recon ships left the fleet and sped forward. They would help the fleet to scout for Air Mines and scout the situation ahead.
"I wonder how Bella and the others are doing..."Aurelia muttered to himself. Because they were separated by dozens of galaxies, and there was a lack of communication markers in Salhu cloister.., hence, it was not easy for Aurelia to get in touch with Bella.
The massive fleet slowly entered the Vasari Legion's territory. However, as they were still in the Dominican galaxy, and the Vasari Legion had completely withdrawn their troops from here, they knew nothing about Aurelia's surprise attack fleet, the 'players'of the Vasari Legion and the resistance camp knew nothing about it.
"Commander, we have found a large number of air mines ahead!"As expected, when the Vasari Legion retreated, they left behind a large number of air mines. If not for Aurelia being careful enough.., they would have lost a lot in this area.
"Get the scout ships to clear the air mines immediately!"Aurelia ordered.
"Yes! Sir, but because there are so many air mines, it will take some time!"The Adjutant reported.
"Alright, have the fleet stand by!"Aurelia nodded. Air mines were like this. Although they might not be able to hit the enemy, even if they were detected by the enemy.., it would take a lot of time to clean them up.
A Day passed in the blink of an eye. The Lone Star scout ship in front had finally cleared the air mines. Aurelia's fleet was finally able to continue moving forward.
"Commander, we have arrived at the Stargate!"The Adjutant said to Aurelia after more than ten hours.
"Let the scout ship go over and take a look at the situation first!"Aurelia ordered. Because the other end of the Stargate was the actual enemy's territory. If the enemy had a large force of defense, then it would be really difficult to fight.
Time passed by minute by minute. A few Lone Star Scout ships passed through the Stargate and arrived at the opposite Krugerz Galaxy. On the other side of the Stargate, Aurelia used her finger to gently tap on the armrest of her seat, it showed that she was very nervous at the moment.
If the other party defended strictly, it would not be an easy task to pass through the Stargate. Even if Aurelia's fleet had a large number of main ships and heavy cruisers, against an opponent who was waiting for their labor.., they had just passed through the Stargate and had to restart their engines and shields. They would definitely suffer heavy losses in the first wave of enemy attacks.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the bridge of Aurelia's ship became more and more serious. If there was no news from the dozens of scout ships, it meant that the enemy had set up a sufficiently strong defensive firepower.
"Swoosh!"At this moment, a light flashed through the Stargate. Aurelia's fleet immediately began to recharge their weapons to prevent the enemy from launching a counter-charge.
However, as the light faded, Aurelia and the others finally felt relieved. A Lone Star unmanned reconnaissance ship returned from the Stargate.
Very quickly, the information from the reconnaissance ship was uploaded to Aurelia's flagship.
"Commander, the enemy has only set up some orbital defense facilities outside the Stargate. There is also a small fleet, only a dozen heavy patrol and supporting ships. There is no trace of the main fleet!"The adjutant reported to Aurelia after sorting out the information.
"It seems that Bella and the others have succeeded!"Aurelia's eyes flashed with a bright light. It was obvious that the main fleet of the resistance army had been attracted by Bella and the others to the Salhu corridor. There were only a few old and weak soldiers left here!
"All troops, Attack! Attack the Krugerz System!"Following Aurelia's order, all the ships turned off their engines and began to pass through the Stargate.
