Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 768: Determined To Win

Chapter 768: Determined To Win

"There are hidden Republic Starfighters on Terminus?" Matt Horner frowned, "This is a trap. The Republic has been prepared for our actions and has already won over Terminus, just to set up such a situation."

"Then what should we do? Retreat?" the Staff Officer asked with a cold sweat on his face.

"Our analysis has made it clear that now is the best opportunity to occupy Terminus!" Matt Horner's eyes were extremely firm, and he said decisively: "Ignore the targets on the Planet! Our biggest enemy is always the Republic Fleet! Leave matters on the Planet to our Ground Forces."

"Yes!"

At this time, another alarm came from the sensors, and 20 Galactic Republic Arquitens-class Light Cruisers broke away from Hyperspace and joined the battle. What is deeply disturbing is that the alarm of Hyperspace Fluctuations has not stopped.

Matt Horner took a deep breath, stared at the Holographic Star Map, and murmured: "I hope our Army can withstand this test."

The Fleet of the Fourth Civilization continued to retreat, breaking away from the Gravity Well of Terminus, forming a Battle Formation, and recalling all the Starfighters and Bombers that went to the Planet for attack, preparing to engage the enemy and start a Fleet Battle.

The Army of the Galactic Republic obviously had a clear plan. The Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters hidden on Terminus did not break out of the atmosphere to fight the Fourth Civilization Fleet.

In fact, this is a very wise choice. As a Starfighter of the last era, the Z-95 Headhunter has proven in countless battles that it is no match for the Wraith Starfighter. Therefore, guarding the Planet's atmosphere is the correct tactic.

But what was the right tactic for them meant another plan failed for Matt Horner.

Then, all that's left is a head-on battle.

Matt Horner's eyes became extremely sharp. He waved his hand suddenly and shouted: "Kol-class Battlecruisers, Warships 11 to 20, charge the Hypermatter Railgun again!"

"Yes!!"

"Measure the distance, preview the target, and fire!!" Matt Horner shouted again.

A Salvo of Hypermatter Railguns from 10 Kol-class Battlecruisers kicked off the Frontal Battle of the Fleet.

The Galactic Republic Fleet continued to advance, and after entering the optimal range, they opened fire and took off a large number of V-19 Torrent Starfighters to prepare to attack the Fourth Civilization Fleet.

Turbolasers and Heavy X-ray Lasers were intertwined, while Thousands of Starfighters from both sides were also engaged in a fierce battle in space.

As in the previous battles, the Galactic Republic's Starfighters had an absolute advantage, while the Fourth Civilization's Starfighters relied on their Cloaking Devices to tangle with them.

Moreover, the Next Generation Starfighters from both sides were also put into actual combat in this battle.

The Galactic Republic ARC-170 Heavy Starfighters have taken off, and there are more than 300 of them in this Fleet!

The Fourth Civilization's Viking Starfighters were also put into mass production, and 100 of them participated in this battle - and this is also a Stealth Starfighter.

The Warships of the Galactic Republic are still rushing to the battlefield one after another. Half an hour later, 20 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers also joined the battle!

What makes the Fourth Civilization Fleet desperate is that although the Hyperspace Fluctuations have weakened a lot, they are still continuing!

Matt Horner formed all the Warships into a Defensive Formation, and the Kol-class Battlecruiser's Hypermatter Railgun did not continue to fire after two salvos, choosing to save ammunition.

The Fleets of both sides continued to exchange fire.

However, because there was a large gap in the arrival time of the Republic Fleet, they had not yet formed strong concentrated firepower. They did not continue to attack forward, but chose to stop at a distance and assemble their Fleet on the spot.

Follow-up Warships are still arriving. After 5 2000-Meter Invincible-class Heavy Dreadnoughts, 15 Carrack-class Light Cruisers, and more than 40 Corellian DP-20 Gunships arrived on the battlefield, no more Warships arrived.

Like the Fourth Civilization, this Fleet is also one of the few Mobile Fleets that the 18th Army of the Republic can free up when it is attacked from two directions.

It's not that these Warships don't want to arrive at the same time, it's mainly because these Warships are hugely different in terms of performance, age and size, and the Hyperspace Drives they are equipped with are also completely different. So even if they set off at the same time, they can only arrive at the battlefield one after another in the end.

But even so, this Fleet has already formed a numerical advantage over the Fleet of the Fourth Civilization.

After all Warships were assembled, the Republic Fleet took back the 2,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters that had taken off before, and then took off again with 2,000 new V-19 Torrent Starfighters.

At the same time, all the Warships formed a Wedge Formation and launched an attack!

Matt Horner directed the Fleet very carefully and defended desperately. The 10 Kol-class Battlecruisers protected the 20 Sova-class Carriers in the rear, while the Sova-class Carriers began to retreat as far away from the Battle Zone as possible.

In fact, according to various plans in the Battle Plan, the possibility of early intervention by the Galactic Republic was not unconsidered. However, in this case, the judgment of the Supreme Command was to retreat immediately.

But after thinking about it, Matt Horner chose to continue fighting.

First, the number of Warships in the Republic Fleet was not as large as they imagined.

The second... the Fourth Civilization... needs too much living space...

Stable Hyperspace Lanes are almost something that the Fourth Civilization dreams of!

Bespin gave the Fourth Civilization its first Planet on a Major Hyperspace Lane, but it only had one direction and was blocked by the 18th Army of the Republic.

What they want now is another direction of attack.

Only by occupying Terminus can we gain more Strategic Offensive Directions, defeat the 18th Army, and completely open up from the Passive Strategic Situation.

Now... cannot retreat!

Matt Horner gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"General! The Supreme Command sent an order requiring us to withdraw from the battlefield immediately according to the Battle Plan." The Staff Officer came over and took out an authorised order from Supreme Command.

Matt Horner took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Return the order. Judging from the situation on the Frontline, our Army still has the possibility of seizing Terminus. Please continue the Attack Plan! Terminus, our Fourth Civilization is determined to win! I am the Natural Disaster!"

The Staff Officer's eyes also became firm, he stood at attention, saluted fiercely, and said loudly, "I am the Natural Disaster!"

Matt Horner waved his hand suddenly and said loudly: "All Warships! Fight to the death!! We are the Natural Disaster!!!"
