Chang Wei was already sweating profusely. Apparently, he had also realized that although the situation of the two armies seemed to be in a stalemate, in fact, the Rebel Alliance could not compete with the Empire in terms of attrition.
Many of the warships in the Rebel Alliance were either captured, built by selling everything they had, or repaired from scrap heaps of the Old Republic. As for the rest, it was the Light Chaser fleet that Chang Wei had brought with him.
On the other hand, the Empire seemed to have lost so many warships, but as long as Emperor Palpatine gave the order, the major shipyards and military-industrial complexes throughout the Empire would be able to produce them like dumplings and quickly make up for the losses.
"What should I do? Is my trump card going to be exposed? That's what I was going to use to deal with the Eternal Fleet that Palpatine had hidden."
Just as Chang Wei was hesitating, Matt Horner's shout interrupted his thoughts.
"Sir, the enemy has a small squadron of 60 ships heading towards the Hyperion!"
Hmm? Seeing their flagship's position exposed, they're planning a decapitation tactic?
Chang Wei raised his head and quickly slid the blocks on the virtual command panel in front of him. He dispatched the escorting Gorgon-class battlecruiser, the supercarrier Infinity, and the Cybertronian Autobot Ark, and ordered them to lead over 50 battlecruisers to meet the enemy.
Chang Wei took a look and thought the arrangement was reasonable. The enemy was clearly an elite force, possessing an entirely fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers. This made them evenly matched! However, Chang Wei didn't know that the lead Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Devastator, was Darth Vader's flagship. His mission this time was to take Chang Wei's life!
As soon as the two sides met, there was a wave of bombardment between the Yamato cannon and the star destroyer cannon.
The Yamato cannon has a splash effect, while the Star Destroyer has a penetrating effect. In terms of single-target anti-ship damage, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Chang Wei did not give them any command. The captains of each ship were no novices and would cooperate with each other in the battle, so Chang Wei did not need to worry about it.
They are also very mature in terms of tactical movements.
Small-angle dodges and deflections, shield energy distribution, close-range fire coverage, alternating cover and tactical retreat to the rear, launching electronic warfare to disrupt the accuracy of missiles and torpedoes, spreading dust clouds to weaken or deflect beam weapon attacks, and so on...
Although the battle between the two sides was not as fierce as on a large-scale frontal battlefield, it was equally dangerous and exciting.
The most striking moment was the transformation of the Cybertron Autobot "Ark." It was no longer the antique ship Chang Wei had once despised. After several generations of modifications and upgrades, its defense and firepower had been significantly improved! Furthermore, through the efforts of scientists, special equipment was used to amplify the energy pulses of the "Leadership Module," successfully awakening it into a giant Transformer.
Although it is also a bit of a middle school kid, it has a relatively docile personality and is the kind of "old boy" who likes to stay at home and watch anime. Otherwise, if it were to learn from the other Transformers, Chang Wei would probably be in a lot of trouble.
"Huh? Where does the BGM come from?" Chang Wei suddenly looked at the command panel and found that "Old Boy" was using the public microphone in the fleet channel, playing the theme song of "Digimon".
Are you planning to perform an ultimate evolution in front of everyone?
Not long after, amidst the cries of "Shit" and "Meiga", the "Old Boy" nimbly and quickly dodged the bombardment again and again, then approached the enemy ship, opened its giant hand, and slapped the opponent's bridge with one hand. The scene was so beautiful.
Although the song sounded very passionate and exciting, even Chang Wei himself began to shake his legs unconsciously, but Chang Wei still turned off the microphone.
Just kidding, this kind of trend must not be started, otherwise every time when giving a speech or commanding a battle reaches a climax, all kinds of background music will appear inexplicably.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Just as the two small fleets were locked in a fierce battle, the Imperial Army's dozen or so Sentinel-class landing craft, under the cover of a fleet of TIE fighters, unexpectedly broke through all the obstacles and almost rushed to the Hyperion. A large group of Viking fighters went to engage, but were shot down one after another by the TIE fighters.
This scene immediately alerted Chang Wei, who was concentrating on commanding the frontal battle.
"There's something wrong with the way those TIE fighters are flying! It's like they can predict danger in advance."
With a click, Chang Wei instantly guessed who they were. These TIE fighter pilots were most likely the corrupted Dark Jedi of the Imperial Inquisition!
Thinking of this, Chang Wei immediately shouted.
"Stop them! They're about to board the Hyperion!"
Chang Wei didn't need to remind them. As soon as they discovered their approach, the hundreds of self-defense guns on the Hyperion began to pour down on them crazily.
Boom boom boom! Over a dozen Sentinel-class landing craft were mercilessly detonated. However, their debris formed a perfect "shield," effectively protecting the remaining landing craft behind them. Under the continuous cover of the TIE fighter group, the only surviving Sentinel-class landing craft finally rushed to the Hyperion.
Then, the Hyperion jolted violently, as if struck by something. Looking up, the Hyperion's bridge data panel indicated that a sharp object had penetrated an area of the outer shield. Furthermore, a red warning area appeared in the middle of the ship, indicating that the compartment there was losing pressure, most likely a large hole in the outer armor.
Chang Wei's hair stood on end in an instant. He stood up suddenly and felt difficulty breathing, as if something was strangling his neck.
Seeing this, Toxu immediately emerged from his invisible state, grabbed Chang Wei's shoulders, and unleashed his powerful psionic energy.
The next second, a red glow covered Chang Wei's entire body, creating a barrier of psionic energy. This allowed Chang Wei to recover, and he greedily took deep breaths.
Just now...was I strangled by the Force?
Before Chang Wei could fully recover, Matt Horner warned him, "Sir, this is an emergency! A group of enemy troops have broken into the Hyperion. They are in compartment 39 and are heading towards our bridge."
As soon as the scene of massacre in the cabin was revealed, the black figure holding the red lightsaber immediately made Chang Wei tremble in his heart.
Soon, the monitors exploded one by one, the screens went black in an instant, and everyone present fell into a brief silence.
"Here...it's actually the Lord! And with him are several judges and a group of purge soldiers? He's ready to kill me!"
Chang Wei's eyes trembled and he was cursing in his heart!
Where is my son Fengxian? Where are the Five Tiger Generals? Come...save me!
