Just as the Rebel Alliance and the Imperial fleet were overwhelmed by what was happening in front of them, a massive steel battleship emerged from the darkness of space.

The first thing that catches your eye is the eight capital naval guns of amazing caliber, and the muzzles of the black holes are like a bottomless abyss, and you have a feeling of being swallowed just by staring.

The thick barrel was as tall as Scarif had climbed to the Tower Fort, but that was only the tip of the iceberg of the ship, and the parts that were revealed so far were intimidating.

Then the huge hull slowly emerged from the darkness, the heavy armor of riveted steaming steel, the multi-turret structure spread throughout the hull, and the metallic texture that was chilling from the inside out, all made it look completely different from other ships in Star Wars, compared to the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it was almost like it was made of plastic!

Both sides of the war were stunned by the mysterious steel ship, like a group of little kids fighting and suddenly finding a giant more than two meters tall mixed in.

This is exactly what the Ark, which has been hiding nearby, and launched an attack on Scarif according to the plan.

"Recharge the gun, concentrate your firepower on one point, and prepare to fire again!" Zhang Zhezhong, commander of the expeditionary force, gave orders on the bridge of the Ark.

Scarif's planetary shield field was able to block a round of artillery bombardment from the Ark's main ships, which really surprised him.

It's just that one round is not enough, and as long as the firepower is concentrated enough, the Ark's main gun will be more than enough to destroy Scarif's planetary shield force field!

At this time, in Scarif's tower fort command room, the superintendent Orson Krennick was already sweating profusely.

First of all, confidential information such as the Death Star blueprint was stolen, and it was finally used to block the entire planet with a shield force field, and it seemed that there was still room for recovery, and then such a huge steel battleship appeared, and the next round of shelling would break the shield.

Orson shouted hysterically: "What are you still doing! Everyone will block that ship for me, and I must not let it break through the shield! ”

Under his command, a large number of Imperial TIE fighters swarmed out of the hangar at the shield gate, rushing like moths to a flame, trying to prevent the Ark's main guns from being reloaded and recharged.

Admiral Radus of the Rebel Alliance also reacted, and hurriedly ordered each fighter squadron under his command:

"Attention leaders, intercept the Imperial fighter swarm, and do your best to cover that battleship to attack!"

"Roger!"

The Rebel Alliance's X-wing fighters immediately turned their noses around in an attempt to prevent the Empire's TIE fighters from approaching the Ark.

However, the number of enemies is too large, and even if the pilots of the Rebel Alliance fight desperately, the TIE fighters that can be intercepted are still a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this large group of TIE fighters encircling the Ark, the pilots of the Rebel Alliance could only sigh in admiration, compared to the Empire, their strength was still too small.

However, the Ark was not afraid to meet this wave of TIE fighters, perhaps they wanted to learn from the Rebels to use the high maneuverability of the X-wing fighters to compete with the Imperial Star Destroyers, and they also wanted to use the fast and agile TIE fighters to maneuver with the Ark.

But the two are obviously completely different, in addition to the eight main naval guns, the Ark is also covered with large and small defensive turrets.

Even the smallest caliber of them requires an Autobot nearly ten meters tall to operate, and the retreating shells alone are enough to kill a person, and the density of fire is in the same style as the Wandering Earth - an aviation cannon that can't go all the way to the heat and explode is not a good thing.

The Imperial pilots didn't know what they were about to face, and it wasn't until they flew the TIE fighter closer to the dense array of kinetic turrets on the Ark's hull that they realized something was wrong.

However, it was too late, and I saw a dazzling barrage of artillery fire launched from the Ark like a goddess scattering flowers, and instantly enveloped the TIE fighters who rushed up.

As was said before, when the density of fire reaches a certain point, the maneuverability of the TIE fighter becomes meaningless.

The cannonballs fired from the Ark were like a storm, no, they were like stormy waves covering the Empire's TIE fighters, and no matter how fast they ran in the rainstorm, they would inevitably get wet, let alone the rain of bullets that came up like huge waves?

It was with these dense point defense turrets that the Ark had fought its way out of the Cybertron planet occupied by the Purge Agreement, but this time it was ready to prepare before the Empire's TIE fighters rushed up.

Shells denser than raindrops relentlessly tore through every approaching TIE fighter as easily as it tore the wings of a butterfly.

The pilots of the Reich could only shoot one or two lasers before dying to prove that they had been here.

It's a pity that their synchronous laser cannon hit the heavy armor of the Ark, leaving two shallow scratches, which may be wiped off with a cloth, and it can't do any actual damage at all.

Seeing that the fighter group he sent out had really turned into moths to the flames, Orson couldn't help but feel even more annoyed, even the Death Star didn't have such a strong point defensive firepower, what the hell was going on with this mysterious steel battleship?

He hurriedly ordered the surrounding Imperial Star Destroyers to launch a siege on the Ark, and since it could not be contained by fighter jets, Orson could only hope that these Star Destroyers that the Galactic Empire was proud of could stop the Ark's attack.

It's a pity that in front of the huge steel giant ship Ark, the Empire-class Star Destroyer, which is only 1,600 meters long, is really like a plastic toy, and it is like a building block when touched lightly, and it is impossible to think of how to block the attack of the Ark.

At this time, Orson can only hope that the Empire's reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible, the Executor, which is larger than the Empire-class Star Destroyer, or even the Death Star, which can easily destroy a planet, only these Empire's ultimate weapons can compete with the Ark.

In contrast, the Rebel Alliance felt unprecedentedly happy, they had always been pressed and beaten by the Empire's large warships, and this time the Imperial Army finally experienced the despair of being crushed by the enemy's super warships!

Although they still don't know where such a massive steel battleship came from and why it is on their side, today they finally see a new hope of defeating the Imperial fleet in a frontal battle, and no longer just rely on the high maneuverability of X-wing fighters to hide everywhere.

It's time to blow the horn of a counteroffensive!
