The Wandering Planet

Just as the Rebel Alliance and the Imperial Fleet were overwhelmed by what was happening before them, a huge steel battleship slowly appeared from the dark space.

The first thing that catches the eye is the eight main naval guns with astonishing calibers. The black muzzles are like a bottomless abyss, and there is a feeling of being swallowed just by staring at them.

The thick and long gun barrel is comparable to the height of Scarif's upper tower, but this is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire ship. The part that is currently exposed is enough to make people feel daunting.

Then the huge hull slowly emerged from the darkness. The thick armor of multi-riveted steamed steel, the multi-turret structure all over the hull, and the cold metal texture from the inside to the outside all make it look like Star Wars. The other ships in the game are so different, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer looks like it's made of plastic by comparison!

Both warring parties were stunned by this mysterious giant steel ship, like a group of little kids fighting and suddenly found a two-meter-tall giant mixed in.

This is the Ark that has been lurking nearby, launching an attack on Scarif as planned.

Recharge the naval guns, concentrate firepower on one point, and prepare to launch again! Commander Zhang Zhezhong of the expeditionary force gave orders on the bridge of the Ark.

It was really unexpected to him that Scarif's planetary shield force field was able to block a round of capital ship artillery bombardment from the Ark.

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

At this time, in Scarif's tower command room, Director Orson Krennic was already sweating profusely.

First, confidential information such as the Death Star design was stolen, and the entire planet was finally sealed off with a shield force field. It seemed that there was still room for recovery, and then such a huge steel warship appeared, and the next round of shelling would To break the shield.

Orson shouted hysterically: Why are you still standing there! Everyone block that battleship for me, and it must not let it break through the shield!

Under his command, a large number of Imperial TIE fighter jets swarmed out of the hangar at the shield gate, rushing towards the Ark like moths to a flame, they wanted to prevent the loading and charging of the main guns of the Ark.

Admiral Radus of the Rebel Alliance also reacted, and quickly ordered the various fighter squadrons under him:

Attention all the team leaders, intercept the empire's fighter jet swarm,

Cover that battleship with all your strength and launch an attack!

receive!

The X-wing fighters of the Rebel Alliance immediately turned their noses, trying to prevent the Imperial TIE fighters from approaching the Ark.

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

Seeing this large group of TIE fighter jets encircling the Ark, the pilots of the Rebel Alliance could only sigh in dismay. Compared to the Empire, their strength was still too small.

However, the Ark faced this wave of TIE fighters without fear. Perhaps they wanted to learn from the Rebels' use of the high maneuverability of the X-wing fighters to compete with the Imperial Star Destroyers. They also wanted to use the fast and flexible TIE fighters to compete with the Ark. deal with.

But the two are obviously completely different. In addition to the eight main naval guns, the Ark's hull is also covered with large and small point defense turrets.

Even the smallest caliber among them requires an Autobot nearly ten meters high to operate, and the shell casings alone are enough to kill a person. It is not a good thing to hit an aviation machine gun that is hot and explodes.

The pilots of the empire didn't know what they were about to face. They didn't realize that something was wrong until they drove the TIE fighters close enough to see the dense kinetic energy turrets on the hull of the Ark clearly.

However, it was already too late, and the dazzling barrage of artillery fire was launched from the Ark like a goddess scattering flowers, covering the rushing TIE fighters in an instant.

As I said before, when the firepower density reaches a certain level, the maneuverability of TIE fighters becomes meaningless.

The shells fired by the Ark were like a violent storm, no, they were simply TIE fighters that covered the empire like a stormy sea. No matter how fast they ran in the heavy rain, they would inevitably get wet, not to mention the rain of bullets coming up like a huge wave. Woolen cloth?

At the beginning, the Ark relied on these dense point defense turrets to break out of the siege from the planet Cybertron occupied by the purge agreement. In contrast, this time it was still waiting for work, and it was ready before the Empire's TIE fighters rushed up. .

The shells denser than raindrops mercilessly tore apart every approaching TIE fighter, as easily as tearing apart the wings of a butterfly.

Imperial pilots can only fire a laser or two before dying to prove they've been there.

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 can't cause any actual damage at all.

Seeing that the fighter group he sent really turned into moths to the flame, Orson couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. Even the Death Star didn't have such powerful point defense firepower. What happened to this mysterious steel warship?

He quickly ordered the surrounding Empire Star Destroyers to launch a siege to the Ark. Since fighter jets could not be used to contain it, Orson could only hope that these Star Destroyers, which the Galactic Empire was proud of, could stop the Ark from attacking.

It's a pity that in front of the huge steel giant Ark, the Empire-class Star Destroyer with a length of only 1,600 meters is really like a plastic toy. It is smashed to pieces like building blocks when touched lightly. I can't think of how to block the Ark. attack.

At this time, Orson can only hope that the reinforcements from the Empire will 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, are the only ultimate weapons of the Empire. Comparable with the Ark.

In contrast, the Rebel Alliance felt happier than ever. They have always been crushed and beaten by the empire's large warships. 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 huge steel battleship came from, and why they are on their side, today they finally saw a new hope of defeating the imperial fleet on the frontal battlefield, no longer relying solely on The high maneuverability of the X-wing fighter hides everywhere.

It's time to sound the horn of counterattack!
