Chapter 531: Fighting Geonosis Again (Part 2)
"What's going on?! The Republic suddenly has more Fighters?" Admiral Trench, who was commanding the Fleet to fight, was so shocked that he almost dropped his pointer.
"Sir, the Republic has launched more Fighters, and they should have carried additional Hangar Bays." The T-series Tactical Droid couldn't understand what happened, and could only come up with an explanation it thought was the most reasonable according to its own program logic.
"Continue to attack! Those extra Fighters must be fake!" Admiral Trench said firmly.
Needless to say, under the guidance of the program, those Vulture Droid Fighters have been fighting with more than 1,000 V-19 Torrent Fighters.
All I saw was a Vulture Droid Fighter speeding up suddenly, locked onto one of the V-19 Torrent Fighters, and immediately fired a series of Twin Blaster Cannon Beams, but these Blaster Beams passed directly through the V-19 Torrent Fighter as if they had hit the air.
The Vulture Droid Fighter had no other thoughts. The program judged that the attack failed, and it immediately turned to prepare for the second attack. However, at this moment, a real V-19 Torrent Fighter flew over at high speed, and the Laser Cannon fired violently and instantly blew up the Vulture Droid Fighter into pieces.
Facing the thousands of real and illusory fighters of the Republic, the Vulture Droid Fighters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems suddenly scrambled like headless chickens, while the Pilots of the Galactic Republic boosted their morale.
The modified ARC-170 Starfighter piloted by Dream Luna and Phantasm Luna looked like death on the battlefield, and the Vulture Droid Fighters they encountered were shot down easily without exception.
Phantasm Luna was on the rise, laughing and driving the Fighter towards the place with the most Fighters and the most dangerous position. Dream Luna kept reminding her sister in the earphones, don't act recklessly, and be more cautious.
The Vulture Droid Fighters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet were shot down in large numbers, and not long after, the Carrack-class Light Cruisers and CR-70 Frigates arrived on the battlefield from Hyperspace, and not long after, 5 Acclamator-class Assault Ships and other smaller Battleships also arrived.
In the end, four Invincible-class Heavy Cruisers with a huge body of 2,011 meters appeared on the battlefield. They are the largest Battleships here, but after all, they are the Technology and Design of more than 3,000 years ago, resulting in their insufficient Hyperspace Drive level, and finally arrived on the battlefield.
The level of the so-called Hyperspace Drive can be intuitively understood as how far each Hyperspace Jump can be. Some Drives with lower Hyperspace Levels have a very short jump distance each time and require recooling and recalculation.
This will waste a lot of time, and the Supermatter fuel used by the Hyperspace Drive will also consume a lot, and it is often necessary to replenish the fuel.
Therefore, the larger and more Advanced Warships, the higher the level of the Hyperspace Drive, and they can also carry more Supermatter fuel.
Therefore, during long-distance raids, Fleet Commanders would dispatch large Warships with similar Hyperdrive Levels instead of incorporating small Warshipsā€”because this would reduce mobility.
It's just that this time, the Galactic Republic really has no choice, because the 60 Venator-class Star Destroyers promised to be delivered by the Kuat Drive Yards were secretly delayed by Palpatine, so Depa Billaba can only look for such a ship. A motley crew headed to Geonosis, which also resulted in varying levels of Fleet Hyperdrives.
However, the reason why Depa Billaba dared to do this was because of her two most beloved Padawans - Dream Luna and Phantasm Luna!
They have to be together to use The Force, which also makes them completely unable to learn the Swordsmanship of the Lightsaber. However, their talent in The Force is very powerful, and they also have a unique talent-creating illusions!
This illusion that can confuse the Warship's Radar is completely a battlefield-level ability!
Admiral Trench's plan to rely on a large number of Fighters to disrupt the formation of the Republic's Fleet and severely damage the Republic's Fleet before the follow-up Warships arrived was completely defeated by the phantoms of the Dream Sisters!
More than a thousand phantoms and more than 200 real Fighters easily destroyed the group of Vulture Droid Fighters. Now, Admiral Trench has to face the almost intact Republic Fleet head-on!
The 2,011-meter-long, roughly cylindrical Invincible-class Heavy Cruiser's Six Concussion Missile Tubes, Twelve Turbolaser Cannons, Thirty Quad Laser Cannons and Six Tractor Beam Projectors aimed at the Confederate Fleet, and then opened fire directly!
After the launch, they diffused, but the Ultra-High-Power Lasers that were still focused within a diameter of 5 meters instantly irradiated a Munificent-class Frigate. The Frigate's shield issued a harsh alarm almost at the same time, large areas of Energy Capacitors were burned, and there was a violent explosion!
The B-1 Droid that wanted to repair and replace the Capacitor was blown away by the explosion, and the inside of the Munificent-class Frigate suddenly billowed with smoke, completely losing its fighting power, and floating there crookedly.
As an old Military Warship from more than 3,000 years ago, the Invincible-class Heavy Cruisers biggest shortcoming is that it cannot cope with the full-scale attacks from multiple directions of today's more and more Modern Starfighters, but these Warships are big enough after all. If they are big enough, the energy is strong enough, and the power of the Main Guns is even more terrifying!
Under normal circumstances, perhaps only one or two Squadrons of Fighters would be able to make the Invincible-class Heavy Cruiser lose one after another, but the terrifying phantoms of the Dream Sisters covering the entire battlefield directly reversed everything, and Admiral Trench didn't dare to take off Fighters at all. The Fighters would just come to die.
In this way, the two sides launched formations against each other, and the Republic Fleet, which had an advantage in the number and size of Battleships, was not worth it at all, or they wished it would be like this.
With Depa Billaba's order, all the Warships of the Republic Fleet were in attack formation.
The CR-70 Frigates and the Carrack-class Light Cruisers took advantage of their maneuverability to attack from the flanks, while 18 Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruisers and 4 Invincible-class Heavy Cruisers escorted 5 Acclamator-class Assault Ships. The front is pressed up!
After the Acclamators and Invincibles entered the battlefield, they took off more Fighters, and now the number of Republic Fighters on the battlefield has increased to more than 600, including more than 400 V-19 Torrent Fighters and more than 200 Z-95 Headhunter Fighters.
The number of phantoms maintained by the Dream Sisters is still more than 1,000, which is also the limit of their current capabilities.
Under the cover of these phantoms, the Pilots of the Galactic Republic drove Fighters like hawks and rushed over! Admiral Trench had no choice but to take off all the Vulture Droid Fighters and surrounded the Battleship for protection, but it still didn't help!
