Galactic Empire in New World

Part 8 Chapter 43B The Fall of Annonrial Empire

Before the story, I want to make an announcement. I have put the final draft of the next chapters (Up to part 9 Chapter 13) on another site, namely at:

https://karyakarsa.com/robotechmania/series

I have put it in two languages, Indonesian and English. Sorry, I charge a small fee to read it, it is around 30 cent US$. I will try to provide at least 20 chapters in advance to be read there.

Please support my writing, I'm getting desperate because only very few of the reader go thare and buy the upcoming chapter. If there is a problem to pay in that site. Please tell me in the conversation.

Thank you very much. Happy Holidays

400 km from Magicaregia

3 Pal Chimera were moving as fast as they could towards Magicaregia. They were fully armed with weapons that the Pal Chimera might carry. Because the Annonrial Empire knew more about the Pal Chimera's mechanism, they were able to arm it well and utilize all of its system capabilities.

In a different direction, there was a flight of TIE Avengers heading towards them. The TIE Fighter belonged to the 'Ghost' squadron. They had orders to destroy the three Pal Chimera. The TIE Fighter had the codes Ghost 5, Ghost 6, Gohost 7, and Ghost 8. Ghost 5 was the flight's leader.

"Stay sharp, everyone, we're closing in on them." Ghost 5 said.

"Are we going to use laser cannon or concussion missile?" asked Ghost 7.

"Of course we will use the concussion missile. Set the yield to only reach 1 kiloton. Ghost 6, 7, and 8 will fire 1 missile, I will follow behind to finish them off if there are any left, or 1 kT is not enough. I will set my missiles to have a 20 kT yield. If there are any left, we will use our laser cannon for strafing." Ghost 5 said.

"Why not just set it at maximum yield?" said Ghost 6.

"Are you crazy? We are on the surface of a planet, not in space. Explosions at maximum yield are too strong in the atmosphere." Ghost 5 said.

"Alright..fine." said Ghost 6.

"Okay, target in sight, get ready!" said Ghost 5.

As they approached at a distance of 10 km, the three TIE fighters fired one missile per fighter. The missiles quickly accelerated to Mach 6 in less than a second. Even though it was still daytime, the concussion missiles' blue glow from the ion cannon seemed to burn brightly.

It only took a few seconds for the three missiles to reach their targets. Due to their speed, none of the weapons on the Pal Chimera were able to hit the missiles. The explosion was quite spectacular. For a few hundred milliseconds, the magic shields of the three Pal Chimeras were still able to survive, but the 1 kT explosion eventually overwhelmed the shields of the Pal Chimeras. With its shield down, the Pal Chimera's hull, which only served as thin armor to reduce its weight and enable flight, had no chance of survival. The 1 kT blast destroyed the three Pal Chimera, and because they were in formation, the blasts from the three missiles multiplied each other's effects.

"Mission accomplished. I'm a bit disappointed, there was no battle, not even resistance." Ghost 5 said.

"You really like action, don't you? For me, the important thing is that I get home safely. The less action, the better. Action is just for practice." Ghost 8 said.

All the TIE Fighter pilots laughed, and they returned to the Victory class Star Destroyer, 'Red Fox'.
