The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1098. Out of Control Monster

21BBY, August 21st, Erisian City, the capital of the planet Eliadu, under the Dark Night Plan of the Fourth Civilization, which can be said to be a rogue, the city's defense system has completely fallen into chaos and isolation. Part of it has already been occupied by the fourth civilization, and it is only a matter of time before the final fall.

After the failure to break through, the defenders of Elixiang City also gave up all their illusions and all their hopes. They stationed in their own positions, waiting for death to come.

And their final goal is to kill as many separatist troops as possible, even if they can kill one more robot.

In the sky above Elisian City, on the bridge of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, which is the command center of the Fourth Civilization Army, a staff officer walked over quickly, and sent some pictures and videos to Ling Liang with a universal tool, saying: "General Ling , our personnel encountered indoctrinates in the RT-1117 area."

Ling Liang frowned, "The Enlightener is still alive? I always thought it was wiped out by the defenders of the Republic not long after the war started."

"It doesn't seem to be the case. The secret weapon given to us by the governor is indeed not something that can be destroyed by ordinary conventional firepower. But..." the staff officer said, "However, the indoctrination seems to have lost control, and it has no instructions for us. Response. We judged based on its active area, we had some orbital airborne robot teams that were quickly annihilated, and it is likely to be a factor in it."

"How's the feedback from the frontline troops?" Ling Liang continued to ask.

"As long as we bypass it, it doesn't matter. After all, we are the offensive side, and the range of activities is much more flexible. And they also induced the indoctrinates to destroy some firepower points of the Republic defenders by making voices. It does not affect our plan at present. However, This thing always needs to be resolved," said the staff officer.

Ling Liang frowned, "No wonder I always feel that there is something wrong with my calculations, but I can't tell. Now it seems that it is the reason of the educator!"

She turned around abruptly, and said, "Compare the possible range of activities of the educated person with the data of the area where our previous calculations were wrong. If there is any overlap, it means that this part of our calculation error is caused by the educated person! Then bring Enter the formula to recalculate!"

"Okay, we're already doing it," replied a Giving mathematician.

After a while, the Jiwen mathematician showed the calculation results, "The influence of the indoctrination has been brought into the calculation. At present, we have basically fully grasped the deployment direction and action mode of the remaining enemy troops, but there is a very serious problem. .”

"Tarkin isn't in Elixiang City, is he?" Ling Liang said without any surprise.

"Yes." The Mathematician's tone was a little surprised, but because of their unique horny heads, they didn't show any expression.

"This is within expectation." Ling Liang said, "Although a person like Tarkin cannot be said to be afraid of death, he is absolutely unwilling to die in Eriadu in this way. There is still something to witness... This is the judgment made by the Governor. Moreover, we have launched military operations for a long time. If he is smart enough, he may start planning to leave Eri when we just occupied the satellite. Xiang City, an independent command center has been established."

"Then why do we still do this..." the staff officer asked suspiciously.

Ling Liang said indifferently: "Be clear about the priority, our goal is the planet Eliadu, not Tarkin. Only under the premise of ensuring the occupation of the entire planet, will we hunt down Tarkin around the world and try to catch him , and present it in front of the Viceroy's seat."

She stood up, clicked on the holographic battlefield map, and said: "Report the incident of the indoctrination out of control to the Governor, and then, after 5 hours, launch a general attack! Completely take down Elixiang City!"

"yes!"

...

August 22.

More than 80% of the area of ​​Elixiang City has been completely controlled by the fourth civilization, and only some places are still stubbornly resisting.

An APOD-33 transport ship flew over the city of Elixiang. At this moment, most of the black smoke had dissipated, and the visibility was much higher. After all, the city's resistance has basically been disintegrated, and there is no need to continue to create smog.

With the flight of the spaceship, this huge city that was once extremely prosperous, but now there are only ruins, gradually reveals its miserable true face in the thin black mist.

Collapsed and fractured high-rise buildings are stacked on top of each other, row upon row, and flames are still burning in many places, with thick smoke billowing. The air is filled with the smell of burnt and gunpowder smoke, as well as, a strong smell of corpses...

During the battle in the city, the soldiers who died in the battle were affected by the flames of war, and the civilians who died tragically on the spot exceeded 20 million. Almost every time you enter a building, you can see that the toilets, corners, and basements are crowded with people. dead civilians.

The 18th Army did not evacuate these civilians properly at all. As a result, almost 70 million civilians remained in the city until the war broke out. Even if the Fourth Civilization didn't intentionally shoot civilians, a large number of civilians still died in the continuous bombing.

Now, there are still some surviving civilians poking their heads out from the corner, looking at the soldiers and even the robots of the Fourth Civilization with expectant eyes, hoping to get some food from them.

But now the battle in Elixiang City is not over yet, no one will pay attention to them at all.

Seeing the spaceship flying by at low altitude, some civilians ran out and waved. They can tell that this is a transport ship, hoping that this ship can land, open the hatch, and then send down a full load of food.

But the robot driving the spaceship was unmoved at all, and just moved towards the target area according to the instructions of the person in the cabin.

That dark man in a black cloak - Darth Malthael!

The transport ship came over a park. The once beautiful park had been burnt to ruins, and corpses were littered everywhere.

In the pile of corpses, a huge monster with a height of more than 5 meters was eating the corpses everywhere. When it found the arrival of the transport ship, it raised its head and let out a terrible howl!

Indoctrinates - out-of-control monsters.

Darth Malthael judged the situation of the indoctrinate immediately, he smiled coldly, and said to himself: "Hehehehe... Jedi Knight. It's really amazing, almost, really let him Killed the Instructor."

As he said that, he opened the hatch and jumped directly from a height of more than 100 meters!

boom! Darth Malthael fell to the ground with a bang, looked at the ugly and stinking monster in front of him, and said lightly: "It seems to be a failure, and there is nothing left except hatred and instinct. After spending After the high cost and painstaking efforts, such a monster is still no match for the Jedi Knight."

"Roar!!!" The indoctrinate roared angrily, and swooped towards this side.

However, Darth Malthael didn't see any movement, but his figure was already more than ten meters away in a flash. He spread his hands, holding several black flowers in his hands—Murakami orchids!

A key vector for the control of Dreyer virus.

"Where did you come from, where do you go back, use the waste, and go to the mine on the planet Keschel to guard it." Darth Malthael said, shaking his hand, the dark side of the force instantly took Murakami The orchid turned into countless dust, and then flew directly to the edifier, getting in from places like its eyes, nostrils, and ears.

The indoctrinate looked around in confusion for a while, then shook his body and fell to the ground with a bang, without any response.

"Call over the engineering vehicle, load it into the spaceship, and send it to the planet Keschel." Darth Malthael switched on the communication, called a group of soldiers nearby, and turned around to walk along the road of Erisian City after giving the order. , walking in the direction of the administrative center.

In this castle-like administrative center, there are still more than 20,000 Republican soldiers entrenched. This fortress that once allowed Gabriel Tosh to return without success is now conducting its final resistance.
