Giraud. Steve Imperial Marshal was already on the verge of madness, and when the meat came to his mouth, he actually let it escape like this.

"Rice bucket!" He scolded in a low voice, even Colonel Riley, whom he had always admired, of course, the Imperial Marshal knew that the Colonel was actually not an incompetent person, but this time even he personally went out, and was finally escaped by Risen in the end, His Excellency the Marshal simply began to have some suspicions, Rickson. Does this guy Nigaul belong to the legendary kind of Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

But forget it, there are more important things now, the entire rebel fleet is in front of them, it is more important to deal with them than against an individual, once the rebel fleet is defeated or destroyed, let him Risen. No matter how strong Nigol's ability is, it is also a waterless root, and it is much easier to clean up, just like this defeat, without the support and cover of other rebel starfighters, he can escape, maybe he will have turned into a primordial dust particle in the universe with his fighter jet.

Turning his attention back to the main battle, the Imperial Marshal began to pay attention to the comparison of the combat strength of the opposing sides, in terms of battleships and combat cruisers, etc., the two sides are about the same, the most important combat power, in terms of space carriers, although the fleet of the rebel alliance has ten space carriers, which is more than the number of seven motherships on the Imperial side, but not only nearly half (four) of their motherships belong to the Assault class with one-third less aircraft, but also have a variety of models, including the galaxy class on the federal side, There are also the Imperial class that belongs to the Imperial side and the Raider class that belongs to the rebel alliance. Compared to the Imperial fleet, all of them are Empire-class, plus the starfighters stationed at the Omega base. Although it is not known how many starfighters the rebel fleet has, it is fairly certain that in terms of the number of starfighters on board, the empire may not lose to the Alliance, or even more.

The Empire's biggest disadvantage is that nearly half of their starfighters are shortsword attack aircraft and a small number of old Banshee fighters, compared to the Rebel Alliance's almost all lightning heavy starfighters. It's too much to lose, not to mention that Lightning's "sexuality" is slightly stronger than that of the Super Banshee, and the training and level of the rebel starfighter pilots are generally considered to be slightly stronger than the Imperial pilots, which has been confirmed by relevant experts and authorities, and even many Imperial fighter commanders.

So under normal circumstances, the confrontation between the two sides will inevitably be a big loss on the part of the empire. But this is not only a simple duel between the battle base and the escort fleet and the rebel fleet, a big difference is that the Imperial side not only has an Omega base, but also can get the support of the Corcoran System Resident Fleet and other Imperial fleets from other galaxy star fields, not to mention the firepower and defense strength of the Omega base, in terms of reinforcements, although the reinforced fleet may not arrive at the battlefield so quickly, as long as this battle can drag on for a certain time. The Corcoran Garrison Fleet's operations in this system should not take much time, although they are not strong, but at least some of the rebel forces will be held back and their energy will be distracted. It will also drag on the time of the campaign and delay the arrival of other reinforcements.

Where can the battle between thousands of starfighters and hundreds of starships end in a short period of time? Not to mention the powerful firepower and tight defense system of the Omega base, how can it be so easy for the rebels to take it easily? The Imperial Marshal sneered in his heart. It's been a long time. When the reinforced fleet arrived, the rebels would definitely die. And the rebels' fleets are here, they no longer have any reinforcements, this big battle, no matter how you look at it, you have more chances of winning, although the rebels have taken the lead, but the final victory may not be as they want, since they don't measure themselves to challenge the imperial authority here, it will be fulfilled for them.

There were only two things that made him feel a little uneasy, and one was Ressen. Nigaul, this guy has already succeeded once, he has always been called a miracle worker, will he do any more miracles? What other vulnerabilities does the Omega base have for him to exploit? Another thing is the location of the Corcoran system, it is too close to the Earth Federation, and Lieutenant General Corleone is not completely unreasonable to worry, will the Federation Army get involved?

However, the situation seems to be okay at the moment, the relevant reconnaissance has not found any trace of the Federation fleet, and the empire even took the risk of sending a keyhole, accidentally passing through the jp2 space jump point and straying into the new Nanning system, and the news obtained is a little reassuring, in the wide search range of the keyhole, no shadow of a large-scale Federation fleet was found, only a cruiser and a destroyer, and a few new Tomcat starfighters rushed to intercept the keyhole.

In this case, the Imperial Marshal is temporarily relieved, and has issued an order to closely monitor the JP2 space jump point, even if the Federation fleet will be involved, the Empire can also detect it in advance and respond accordingly in time, to cross the two galaxies, the time required is not short, and after entering the Corcoran Galaxy, they will be intercepted and disturbed by the Empire, they will definitely not be able to arrive so soon, and when they arrive, maybe this battle should come to an end......

"Your Excellency, the sunset system is ready, please indicate the target." Lieutenant General Corleone interrupted his thoughts, and immediately displayed all the targets that had entered the Sunset System's "shooting" range on the screen, but due to the distance, they all appeared as red dots.

"Can you identify the flagship of the rebel fleet?" The Imperial Marshal asked hopefully.

"No, Your Excellency, the distance is too far, we can't tell which rebel ship is based on the signal characteristics of the target, at most we can only determine the type of ship, the rebel starfighters completely control the area around their fleet, and our reconnaissance planes can't get close." The lieutenant general immediately denied it.

"Then forget it, Vice Admiral, choose your own target, the first target, the rebels' space carrier, followed by their fast battleship, first choose the target from the center of the rebel fleet to 'shoot', the flagship, it will generally be arranged in the center of the most heavily protected fleet." The Imperial Marshal ordered.

"As you wish." Lieutenant General Corleone nodded. Then he turned around and made a gesture to the person in control waiting for orders.......

Because there are too many red dots near the target center. It took a lot of effort on the part of the controllers, but the target was finally locked on, a space carrier in the center of the rebel fleet, a galaxy-class space carrier.

"The sunset system is ready to launch, all ships and starfighters, avoid developing the 'launch' axis......" A brief command was conveyed to all Imperial fighters and Imperial ships at the same time, and all Imperial ships and fighters near the beam axis hurriedly avoided it. They had all seen the "fire" of the sunset system, and it was not a very pleasant thing to die under the accidental injury of their own people.

"Shoot!" With an order, the controller pressed the red "color" "fire" button forcefully.

The powerful energy flow that had been stored up in advance began to gather towards one point, and after passing through a long, sealed pipe, it formed a bright green 'color' pillar of light. Burst out of a hexagonal vent in the forward extension of the combat base and head straight into the distance......

On a Keyhole early warning and control aircraft of the Resistance Alliance, the controller stared at the Imperial fighter group sequence suspiciously, which was different from the formation of the previous neatly arranged and ready to meet the Alliance starfighter group, and suddenly, there was a "commotion" in the center of the Imperial fighter group, and all the Imperial starfighters were suddenly "chaotic" and scattered in all directions.

"What's wrong with the enemy?" He felt a little confused. Just as he was about to call his commander to come over and take a look, at this time, the instrument suddenly gave an emergency alarm, and an unknown huge amount of energy was found in front of him......

The controller's mouth was wide open

A green pillar of light passed through the center of the Imperial warships and fighter groups. In a very short period of time, he swept through a no-man's land, first met the alliance starfighter group that was in front of the fleet, and continued to move forward without any hindrance or stop, leaving behind a series of orange "colored" fireballs. Those were all caused by the explosion of the Alliance fighter planes that had been swept by the edges of the massive pillars of energy. As for the lightning bolts facing the beam, they were directly vaporized.

A pillar of green light swept diagonally across the stern of a destroyer. After melting half of the stern, it finally reached its final destination, the fast battleship Liberty, its powerful shield blocking the path of the pillar of light, but only for a little more than a second.

In the next blink of an eye, the fast battleship Liberty exploded into a pile of powder in front of countless pairs of eyes of the entire fleet, reduced to the most basic particles in the huge explosion, and no one on the ship escaped.

But its sacrifice was not in vain, and its sacrifice was exchanged for the survival of the Alliance's command structure, which was just behind this battleship, the flagship of the Alliance, the Pioneer.

"What's going on?" Despite the heavy losses suffered by the Alliance, Vice Admiral Corleone and Imperial Marshal Steve were not satisfied, as their original target, the galaxy-class space carrier, was still there.

"Yes, sir, at the last moment, the destroyed rebel battleship moved, the direction changed slightly, just in front of the locked target, and the energy attenuation caused by the beam of the sunset system was too far away, so it was not able to continue to attack the space carrier after destroying the rebel battleship."

"Forget it, destroying a battleship is also a result," the Imperial Marshal could only wave his hand, "recharge your energy and prepare to fire again." ”

"Understood, re-replenish the generator's energy, and estimate the time of the next 'shot', ...... in twenty minutes"

"So long?" The Imperial Marshal frowned, although he knew that this was normal, but the eagerness to take revenge on the rebels made him feel a little dissatisfied, "Can you shorten the energy replenishment time?" ”

"Your Excellency, the distance of the rebel fleet is too far, if the energy cannot be replenished, the sunset system may only be able to deal with small targets, and it will not be able to destroy the rebels' space carriers and battleships in one blow.

"So be it, but let them hurry." Marshal Steve could only accept. "Yes, Your Excellency."
