Kilsager and Chat Groups

Upon learning that Mengsk had dispatched the so-called first wave of reinforcements, the high-ranking officials of the old empire were filled with anticipation and eagerness.

They were eager to throw these reinforcements into the fierce battlefield, hoping to quickly turn the tide.

When the Annihilator-class battleship made its debut, it immediately put immense pressure on the Terran Empire's fleet.

This warship's conventional gunnery is exceptionally powerful, far exceeding the level of all Terran warships.

Even more worrying is that both sides tacitly believe that this warship, which looks like an upgraded version of the Gorgon, also possesses the Yamato guns capable of severely damaging battlecruisers.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, the ground forces of the Terran Empire seemed helpless.

The Annihilator-class battleships possess formidable anti-air and anti-ground laser cannons capable of reducing aircraft formations and air defense systems to ashes in an instant.

In addition, the Annihilator-class battleship is equipped with both a normal energy shield and an emergency shield, which gives it extremely high survivability in combat.

Whether subjected to heavy bombardment from enemy artillery or encountering other unexpected situations, these shields can protect the warship to the greatest extent possible.

However, what is puzzling is that neither the old imperial forces nor the Terran Empire fleet ever witnessed the Annihilator-class battleship firing the Yamato Cannon.

This has led to speculation that perhaps the captains of these four warships believed the enemy before them was not worth using such powerful weapons.

But only Matt Horner, with his keen observation and rich experience, seemed to see some clues.

He pondered the reasons behind it, and a sense of doubt gradually arose in his heart.

First of all, what is surprising is that the bow of the enemy ship has no gun muzzle! And it looks completely different from the movable muzzle armor of the Gorgon battleship or the Minotaur battlecruiser.

It looks more like it wasn't equipped with the Yamato Cannon at all, otherwise it's hard to explain why the enemy's laser cannons in normal mode would be more powerful than the Terran Helicarrier in defensive mode.

It should be understood that only warships built with a large amount of resources could possess both extremely strong conventional firepower and the Yamato gun.

However, such warships are usually regarded as decisive weapons and are not mass-producible like the Terran Helicarrier.

Matt Horner was deeply puzzled by this and couldn't help but wonder where these four warships came from.

After some speculation, Matt Horner concluded that the four warships were likely from inventory.

However, since he couldn't confirm it directly, he could only keep this guess to himself.

Meanwhile, some worrying news came from the ground forces.

They reported that some hybrid incubation pods were deployed on the battlefield by the old imperial forces.

These mechanical hybrids are so powerful that ground forces have to assemble large numbers of armored units to confront and eliminate them.

On the surface, the Terran Empire appears to be at a clear disadvantage on this battlefield.

However, this was only the state of affairs before the new armored forces and new warships, meticulously designed by Yumoyan and built by the Empire, were put into battle.

Although the new weapons distributed to the Imperial forces may not be as powerful as the equipment provided to the Royal Guard, they have some unique advantages.

These new weapons are easier to maintain than the equipment of the Royal Guard, meaning they can be repaired more quickly in case of malfunctions during combat, thus reducing the impact on combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, their production process is simpler, which allows the Empire to mass-produce them in a shorter time to meet the needs of the front-line troops.

Matt Horner had personally witnessed the formidable combat power of these new equipment prototypes. Before Odin set foot on the land of Khar, the Royal Guard relied on these advanced weapons to firmly defend the palace and withstand the enemy's fierce attacks.

It should be noted that the old imperial forces will face more than just the fleet of the Terran Empire.

Just then, a purple light suddenly shone, and Renault, leading his Warlord super battleship and more than ten Kil's Saginaw frigates, descended upon the battlefield like divine soldiers.

Not to mention that the Warlord super warship was even larger than the Protoss mothership, the axial gun frigate that Kil'jaeden was made according to Warhammer standards.

In the Terran Empire, it would be comparable to a Gorgon battleship, or even larger!

These frigates, which are 1.5 kilometers long, can be considered an extreme example.

Their hulls lacked heavy armor, with most of the area dedicated to their main guns, which were also their only anti-ship weapons: the arc launchers located at the bow.

This axial cannon is extremely powerful, capable of releasing astonishing energy in an instant, ignoring shields and armor to directly attack the hull and crew of warships.

Furthermore, these frigates are equipped with a large number of point defense lasers, which, like dense raindrops, can quickly shoot down incoming enemy aircraft or missiles, providing the warships with powerful defense.

In addition, the external equipment on these frigates is also quite eye-catching.

A large number of reconnaissance drones are mounted around the ship, acting as loyal guardians, constantly monitoring the surrounding environment and providing accurate intelligence support for the warship.

When these warships appeared on the battlefield, their presence immediately alerted the old imperial powers.

As the leader of the old empire's forces, Mengsk also received the report from the Führer Ghost immediately.

His anxiety grew, for he already knew that the old imperial forces' insectoid creatures couldn't hold out for long in such a fierce battle.

However, the sight of these warships, so different from the Terrans' style, made him suspicious.

Does the appearance of these warships mean he doesn't have enough time to complete his plan? Will he be able to finish modifying the Dominator Ship before the arrival of the enemy's new forces?

Just then, a ghostly figure of the Führer respectfully asked Mengsk, "Führer, those guys are asking when the next batch of new warships will be ready for service."

Mengsk did not answer immediately; his gaze was fixed on the axial-gun warships, as if trying to glean more information from their appearance.

Time ticked by, and the situation on the battlefield grew increasingly tense.

Suddenly, a missile launched by a Viking warplane from the old empire hurtled towards a naval gunboat with lightning speed.

Surprisingly, the missile was not intercepted by the shields of the axial gunship, but instead hit the hull directly.

Seeing this, Mengsk's brows finally relaxed.

A huge weight was lifted from his heart, because it meant that these axial-gun warships were not invincible, and the old imperial forces' insectoid forces could still buy him some time.

“It’s time to make those insects bleed a little. Send them the intelligence that the enemy’s new battleships can’t stop slow-moving objects…” Mengsk paused, then continued, “Tell them not to ask why.”

"Your will."

Mengsk could only speculate, but the high-ranking officials of the old empire just needed a reason.

Once the Overlord is completed, Mengsk will no longer need those old imperial forces and their insectoid creatures.
