Chapter 383 Jesta Galaxy
The main fleet of the First Fleet, led by Mendeleev, also launched a war in the Jesta system against a huge joint fleet composed of the Imperial Navy and the Mechanicus.
At this time, the Jesta galaxy had already become a battlefield filled with smoke. The warships of the Imperial Navy and the warships of the Mechanicus were closely combined together to form a terrifying main fleet of more than 700 ships.
This powerful coalition army swept towards the Star Navy fleet like a surging tsunami. Under the impact of this powerful force, the Star Navy fleet instantly fell into a passive situation.
Although they tried their best to resist the attack of the Imperial Combined Fleet, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower, and were completely suppressed for a time.
Countless energy beams launched by more than 700 warships crisscrossed and illuminated the dark starry sky. Violent explosions occurred one after another, as if to tear the entire galaxy into pieces.
Facing such a massive Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, the Star Navy felt unprecedented pressure. Gradually losing their ability to effectively counterattack, they could only rely on flexible tactics to constantly roam and harass the galaxy, attempting to delay time and find an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle.
But this effort seems so pale and powerless, like a small boat in a strong wind, which may be swallowed by huge waves at any time.
At the same time, the Imperial Navy launched further operations without mercy. Transport ships one after another, loaded with large numbers of Astra Militarum soldiers, sped towards the only planet in the Jesta system.
These brave and fearless Astra Militarum soldiers, with their firm belief and mission, are ready to set foot on this unknown land and launch a brutal battle to quell the rebellion.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, Mendeleev was extremely anxious. He knew that if he could not stop the actions of the Imperial Combined Fleet as soon as possible, not only would his own fleet face destruction, but even the precious planet would fall into the hands of the enemy.
Although the Defense Force is extremely powerful and will not be afraid of the attack of the Astra Militarum, if the Defense Force loses the protection of the fleet in space and faces the attack of the Imperial warships, defeat is only a matter of time.
Only when the fleet is in an absolute life-and-death crisis will Mendeleev abandon the planet and leave with all the soldiers. As for the people left behind, they can only wish for the best.
The fleet is not in a life-or-death crisis yet, and Mendeleev will not easily give up a planet that has chosen to be loyal to the great Lord of Stars.
After all, there are so many soldiers in the entire fleet, and these soldiers all come from various planets that were conquered and pledged allegiance to the great Lord of Stars.
If they gave up this planet so easily, what would the rest of the soldiers in the fleet, except those from the starry sea, think in their hearts? This was also the reality that Mendeleev needed to face.
Most of the people who join the army are family-oriented people. Their biggest wish is to make their families live a better life. Otherwise, these people would not be so proactive in joining the army and fighting hard.
Mendeleev immediately issued an order to urgently mobilize the large number of patrol fleets that were scattered throughout the battlefield. After a period of intense deployment and assembly, the patrol fleets finally arrived at the battlefield.
Like a group of brave falcons, they swooped down on the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy and the Mechanicus, launching round after round of fierce attacks.
Although these patrol fleets were relatively small in size, they still caused a certain degree of interference and trouble to the Combined Fleet with their excellent maneuverability and tenacious fighting spirit.
Even with this batch of reinforcements, Mendeleev was still clearly aware that the gap in strength between himself and the enemy was still huge.
All they could do was to carry out some limited harassment on the Combined Fleet, and they could not really stop the Imperial Combined Fleet. The continuous sending of soldiers to the planet Jesta could only relieve the pressure on the main fleet.
After the patrol fleet's support arrived, the number of Star Navy fleets in the Jesta system reached 37, but the number of the Imperial Combined Fleet was more than twenty times that of their own.
Under the crushing pressure of absolute numbers, no matter how powerful the firepower or how fast the speed, the Star Navy Fleet will find it difficult to inflict serious damage on the Imperial Combined Fleet.
"Send a request for assistance to the other major fleets, and ask them to send reinforcements immediately after the battle ends."
While commanding the fleet to fight, Mendeleev asked the communications personnel to issue a request for help.
"Yes, Captain Mendeleev."
The communications personnel were busy calling each fleet, asking about their current situation and asking them to send reinforcements.
"Captain Mendeleev, the rest of the fleet is currently engaged in a fierce battle. It will be difficult to send reinforcements in a short time. It will take some time."
The communicator immediately reported the information he received to Mendeleev.
"I see."
After casually dealing with the communications personnel, Mendeleev continued to busily command the fleet in battle.
"Brothers! The transport ships of those damned pseudo-emperor's lackeys have already entered the atmosphere of the planet Zesta. We absolutely cannot let them succeed!
Immediately launch a fierce attack and destroy these pseudo-emperor's lackeys in mid-air! Don't give them a chance to land on the ground."
Pixius, commander of the Fourth Army of the Defense Force, stood in the command center, his eyes fixed on the huge holographic projection screen in front of him.
It clearly showed the trajectory of the Imperial transport ship and the distribution of its surrounding escort fighters. His face was grim, veins bulging on his forehead, and he shouted angrily into the communication channel.
"Yes! Sir!" The soldiers' uniform and firm responses came from the channel.
Then, there was a deafening roar:
"Boom..." It seemed as if the whole earth was shaking.
Countless flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by sharp and piercing whistling sounds, crossing the sky.
The heavy anti-aircraft machine gun began to roar, its thick barrel continuously spewing out tongues of flames, and each shell was as fast as lightning, rushing straight towards the target.
Not far away, a number of huge volcanic cannons were not to be outdone. They continuously fired energy bombs containing powerful energy into the sky.
These energy bombs trailed long blue flames across the night sky like meteors, instantly illuminating a large area.
There were also rows of large plasma cannons, which also emitted terrifying roars.
The plasma beam traveled through the void at an extremely fast speed, burning and distorting the air wherever it passed.
The missiles on the missile launchers took off like arrows and headed straight for the enemy camp with the momentum to destroy everything.
For a moment, the sky was filled with flames and smoke.
Large shells rained down like raindrops, trailing long, fiery red flames. The intense friction with the air at high speeds generated intense heat, blurring the surrounding space. The sharp, piercing sonic booms echoed through the sky, sending shivers of fear through the air.
