Chapter 526: Bloody Battle At Bespin (2)

In the cosmic space around Bespin, hundreds of Warships are firing, countless Missiles and Lasers are constantly flashing, and against the background of the Orange Gas Giant, clusters of red flames are constantly exploding, and there is even pale blue space-collapsing glow of a Proton Torpedo explosion.

A dense swarm of Vulture Droid Fighters flew around the Republic Fleet like flies, firing Lasers and Proton Torpedoes at the same time. The Republic Fleet's Z-95 Headhunter Fighters relied on the Corellian DP-20 Gunship for defense. Under the firepower of the Corellian DP-20 Gunship specially developed for fighting Fighters, the Vulture Droid Fighters were destroyed into pieces and became garbage floating in space.

"The opponent's 20 Warships are turning to the flank!" The Radar Soldier reported loudly.

"They want to forcibly land on Cloud City, stop them!" Fleet Commander Santamaria immediately ordered, "The CR-90 Frigate formation salvos the opponent's roundabout Warships! Inform the Fighters, leave the formation, and intercept the opponent's Warships!"

"A concentrated energy response in the Separatist Fleet has been detected!" a Soldier shouted loudly.

"Bastard! Do they still have secret weapons?" Santamaria called up the information on the Kol-class Battlecruiser in the database, but just like Meebur Gascon in the Battle of Geonosis two days ago, he saw there was only one piece after another of the unknown.

A moment later, the rear of the Dawn Fleet emitted a burst of dazzling light, and almost at the same time, the largest Corellian Defense Cruisers in the Republic Fleet emitted bursts of violent explosion flames!

"Report! We have encountered the enemy's Kinetic Energy Weapons!"

"Nova's shield is overloaded!"

"Neutron lost contact, visually the bridge was destroyed!"

With a bang, Santamaria punched the console, "They actually secretly developed such a powerful Kinetic Energy Weapon!"

"General, unless our Deflector Shield concentrates all its energy on Kinetic Energy protection, it will be impossible to block the opponent's Kinetic Weapons, and if we concentrate on Kinetic Energy protection, the opponent's Laser Weapons will also cause us great losses." A Technician turned around and said.

Another Staff Officer said on the side: "The ships which are turning to the flank is the Hiigaran-class Battlecruiser. According to the records in the database, the two Main Guns of the Hiigaran-class Battlecruiser are more powerful than any of our existing Warships." They are all strong, we cannot take this risk and put our Fleet under the attack of the Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers Main Guns!"

"Retreat immediately! The formation spread out, let's go back and rely on Cloud City to defend!" Santamaria made a decisive decision and gave the order to retreat.

Lord Santamaria, a Corellian Aristocrat, initially served in the Corellian Defense Fleet and later served as a Military Commander on Bespin because of the family business. After the Confederacy of Independent Systems announced its establishment and declared war on the Galactic Republic, and immediately after the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, announced the formal establishment of the Grand Republic Army, he discussed with the current Baron Administrator of Cloud City, Lando Calrissian who opposed the Galactic Republic, and decided to remain neutral.

In order to express their determination to be neutral, they expelled the special envoy of the Republic, and also directly rejected the solicitation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems through communication, expressing the same meaning to both sidesmaintain neutrality, welcome business, and avoid talking about other things.

However, less than 5 hours after they issued the declaration of neutrality, there was information that a large Fleet from Dawn had left Annaj, and judging from the reaction of the Hyperspace, their destination was Bespin!

Seeing that the Separatist Fleet trampled on their declaration of neutrality without hesitation for almost a minute, Lando Calrissian issued a serious warning to Dawn and at the same time asked for help from the Galactic Republic and he also put Santamaria in command of Bespin's Defense Force, buying time until the Republic's reinforcements arrived.

Then, an hour later, Bespin issued a public declaration, stating that it was imperative to resolutely safeguard the unity of the Galactic Republic and combat Separatism.

In front of the Colossal Fleet from Dawn, Bespin couldn't care less about the fact that they just kicked out the special envoy of the Republic a few hours ago, declaring that they would not help each other to maintain neutrality.

The response of the Strategic Command of the Republic was also very fast. It immediately established a unified command channel with the Bespin defense force, and immediately began to mobilize reinforcements for support. share over.

Knowing that we were outnumbered, Santamaria immediately formulated a battle plan. He gathered 150 Warships in the best condition and with the strongest firepower among the Bespin Defense Forces. When the opponent did not open the Deflector Shield, a salvo directly severely damaged 6 Kol-class Battlecruisers.

However, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Kol-class Battlecruisers and the Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers. Even if they suffered a blow, the Fourth Civilization A Fleet was still under Matt Horner's impeccable command, by sacrificing 500 Vulture Droid Fighters, they stood firm and launched a counterattack.

But when Santamaria commanded the Fleet to retreat, the 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers that were turning to the flanks launched a fierce bombardment at them. At the same time, the opposing Kol-class Battlecruisers also began to speed up. Moving forward, the four Large Laser Cannons at the bow continuously fired X-rays to irradiate the Warships of the Republic Fleet.

The Republic Fleet retreated faster and faster, eventually losing formation entirely and becoming a mess.

At this time, 10 Sova-class Carriers had already flown to Cloud City, and deployed 80 Unmanned Missile Platforms around Cloud City, completely blocking it.

Santamaria's Fleet crashed into the defense line built by the Unmanned Missile Platform on the way back, and the formation was broken up again. They had to leave Cloud City and run in the direction of several other floating cities to regroup.

After dispersing Bespin's Fleet, the huge figures of six Lucrehulk-class Battleships slowly approached Cloud City.

The more than 1 Million Residents of Cloud City watched in horror as the huge shadow in the sky gradually covered the light of the stars, and the Huge Warship with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters covered the sky and the sun!

The Sova-class Carrier launched more than 400 Wraith Fighters. These Fighters used Pulse Laser Cannons and Air-To-Ground Missiles to violently bomb the periphery of Cloud City against the Anti-Aircraft Defense firepower on the periphery of Cloud City!

After destroying the Anti-Aircraft firepower in a corner of Cloud City, dozens of C-9979 Landing Crafts and 200 APOD-33 Dropships took off from the Lucrehulk-class Battleship, fully loaded with B-1 Battle Droids and the Fourth Civilization Army landing brazenly in Cloud City!
