Chapter 449: Tadarin's Assault
Twelve Minotaur-class battlecruisers floated silently high in orbit, and around the battlecruisers were countless moving Hercules and various imperial transport planes.
A large amount of supplies forcibly built a steel front on the ground against the Astral Fleet, and in the face of the threat of the Death Fleet, the Empire pulled out the latest Draken Orbital Defense System.
Thicker and longer barrels, longer ranges, larger shells. All of this makes the Draken Railgun have a Railgun capable of inherently threatening the Star Spirit Carrier. After obtaining the threat to the Star Spirit Aircraft Carrier, the only thing this steel front needs to worry about is probably the Tadarin Mothership with no solution to the range.
The Ranger's observers keep an eye on the Death Fleet's movements, and the Empire's observers are responsible for observing areas that the Ranger's detectors can't see. Under absolute intelligence sharing, the entire fleet of death will be exposed to the eyes of humanity.
In the face of the solidity of the human machine, the arrogant Tadarin did not even have the idea of driving away. After receiving a certain order, the Death Fleet, scattered throughout the Empire, began to assemble and run towards the Rangers' current location.
The Rangers arrived twenty-ninth hour.
"Damn it, sir. Intelligence indicates that Tadarin's death fleet is gathering and is heading towards our position. Matt Horner fed back to Jim, and Matt's feedback made Jim's stomach knot.
"These astral spirits are sucking too much? We've bypassed all Tadarin Detectors! ”
Jim said.
The actions of the Rangers and the Einsatzgruppen were of course stealthy, the result of circumventing a large number of Tadarin detectors. It is to gather one-third of the strength of the entire rangers and entrench here for more than a day without being discovered.
The advantage of the covert operation was over, and the steel front that had served as a trap had become a frontal line of defense directly against Tadarin.
It had only been four minutes since the Level 1 battle alarm sounded, and a blue ball of light began to distort outside the range of the Drake railgun, and Matt, who commanded the fleet, did not take advantage of the idea of leaping to the side of the Star Spirit ships and attacking them with the Yamato cannon.
After all, his entire fleet of death was completely incomparable to a small fleet of rangers.
Matt Horner was right to hold his ground, and the Tadarin mothership completed the turnaround in the short time it took for the battlecruiser to leap to the side of the Tadarin.
This supergiant ship with a diameter of up to three thousand meters appeared on the battlefield, giving all the captains a deterrent that is difficult for any human ship to give.
After the Tadarin Mothership completed the warp, more Star Spirit ships began to jump.
"Start the Fusion Battle Plan!"
Matt Horner's voice reached the ears of each captain with precision, and the dozen or so human battlecruisers that tried to use their arms as vehicles launched fusion missiles that could pose a threat to the Star Spirit ships.
A large number of saturation blows successfully hit several of the leaping Star Spirit ships, and these distorted light clusters were annihilated into fragments and light radiation under the light and heat emitted by the atomic fusion.
The first fusion strike managed to destroy a few Tadarin ships, but more than the destroyed Tadarin ships.
More than seventy destroyer area strike ships, more than twenty aircraft carriers, and one Tadarin mothership. Such a lineup was difficult to fight against a tenfold increase of twelve battlecruisers, and at the moment when the number was counted, only retreat remained in Matt's mind.
"Sir, Tadarin's ships are like a vast sea, we must retreat!"
In the face of a powerful enemy, Matt Horner didn't say that, and Jim, who was sticking out of the ground, smiled: "Then how many Star Spirit Ships can scare you like this?" ”
Matt told the truth.
"Well, we do need to retreat - hell, our defenses aren't quite laid out yet, how do they know we're here?"
Puzzled, Jim gave the order to all the personnel on the ground to get on the transport plane and flee for their lives, and there were many transport planes that were originally parked on the ground, and soon, all the personnel completed the evacuation.
Battlecruisers begin to face the siege of carrier-based aircraft, and once the carrier-based aircraft that cut the armor of battlecruisers like butter are brought close, then it will be the end of all battlecruisers.
"Bug, I'm the eighth Celestial Table. Hand over the sacrifices, and we can spoil the lives of all of you. ”
The leader of the Death Fleet opens the communication channel to all humans, but the Rangers only think they are farting.
Tadarin, who slaughtered countless civilians, replayed the Rangers? Not to mention conditional, even if it is unconditional, the rangers do not believe it. What's more, who is the sacrifice?
The Einsatzgruppen team, ready for sortie, returned to the transport again under the threat of the Death Fleet. And they received the message.
The failure to provide any help throughout the battle made the ghosts present feel extremely aggrieved, but the reality does not change because of the grievances in their hearts. In the face of the entire Tadarin's death fleet, what should be withdrawn must still be withdrawn.
The transport planes jumped away, and the battlecruisers began to leap when there were no transport planes left.
Despite the frantic cover fire from the railguns on the ground, there was still one battlecruiser that was pierced and destroyed by several Destroyer ships.
Tadarin secured a temporary victory.
————————————————————————
The Rangers' battlecruisers are forced to dock in a secluded Ranger starport, where the Rangers will receive the best supplies the Rangers have to offer. The Einsatzgruppen transport ship was also forced to arrive, and their transport plane had an engine cut off by a carrier-based aircraft during the battle. It was only with great reluctance to get here.
This is not the first time that the Rangers have been deflated against Tadarin, and of course, it is not just the Ranger that has been deflated. The entire empire is on the verge of destruction in the midst of Tadarin's invasion. Now, self-help is unlikely. I can only find some allies - Kemorian, who is also a human and is still on the border with the Empire despite the threat of the Death Fleet, does not need to think about it. Valerian's grandfather was a diplomat of Yumoyan, and he was unable to bring in the support of Yumoyan's fleet, not to mention all Yumoyan. Mercenary side....... Also attacked by the Death Fleet.
Jim also has a lot of allies to connect with, such as an old friend on the Elstar Spirit's side, or Zeratul on the Nerazim side. And, of course, there's a swarm of Blade Queen Kerrigan.
As long as Jim takes the initiative to connect with the swarm, there is no doubt that Sarah will help him solve Tadarin's problem. But is it worth it?
