The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1391 : Going against the law

Planet Onderon, in front of the Temple of Unity, Yolarn Square.

In the square where General Kalani publicly executed Senator Mina Bontry, the guillotine was erected once again. Wearing a red king's costume and holding a scepter, the new king of Planet Onderon, So-Grela, stood proudly on the stage with a cruel smile on his face.

Behind him stood hundreds of ferocious soldiers, all of whom were like-minded people who had settled down in the previous resistance activities.

Without exception, these people all hold great hatred for the current government of Planet Onderon, for separatism, and even for the Galactic Republic. They think that everyone around them betrayed them, that both sides of this war made them lose everything, and at the same time, it was the incompetence of the former ruler of their own planet that made them live like rats.

In short, that is the idea that I was right and the world was wrong.

And when such people gather together and even become the king of the planet, one can imagine what kind of disaster it will be.

With the backing of Wilhuff Tarkin, Saw Gerrera was able to secure his position as king, and the first thing he did after he came to power was to take revenge!

General Akhenath Tandin was put in shackles, and two soldiers pushed him down on the guillotine, but there was only a contemptuous smile on his face.

After four completely different rulers, Ramses Dundup, Sanji Rush, General Kalani, and Saw Guerrera, he has completely seen it through.

"I am trying you for a first-degree war crime! Akhenath-Tandin! You have committed an unforgivable crime against the people of Planet Onderon! And now, the sentence given to you is the death penalty!" Saw Gerrera stood proudly on the high platform, pointing at Tandin and ordering him arrogantly.

Tandin sneered and said, "The people? Hehe, you still have the face to say the word people! So-Gerrera, after all, you are just a terrorist, a pawn that can be discarded at any time..."

But Suo Gerrera didn't want to listen anymore, he waved his hand lightly, and the icy switch knife fell, cutting off the second half of General Tandin's words and his head.

At the same time, more than 30 senior generals at all levels of the Royal Guard of the former Onderon Planet, and more than 70 senior government officials were killed at the same time.

Blood flowed into rivers and heads rolled, and almost all the people on Planet Onderon fell silent.

However this is just the beginning!

So-Gerrera promoted all his cronies to positions such as defense minister, agriculture minister, and parliamentary representatives. Regardless of whether those people may not have even completed universal education, or may not have any professional ability at all.

For a time, the officialdom of the entire Onderon planet was full of smog and demons dancing wildly, making it impossible to perform normal government functions at all. And Saw-Gerrera is an out-and-out anarchist. The reason why he wants to be king is entirely for his own desire for power.

Of course, he still knows very well where his power comes from.

As a result, Saw-Gerrera had everything he could ask for from Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin. Tarkin wants to establish a huge supply base on the planet, including all aspects of ammunition supply, food, medical care, and accommodation, because he has a 7 million army in his hand, and his goal is to point directly at the still standing Dexon satellite.

Saw-Gerrera nearly emptied the city of Izzy to satisfy Governor Tarkin's demands. He began to implement a huge immigration plan, driving the residents of Izzy to surrounding cities, and even to shelters, and then handed over the vacated residences to the soldiers of the Republic.

You know, there are a total of 7 million soldiers, which is already more than the entire population of Izzy City. So he also vacated all the more than 90 hospitals in the city for Takin to use, but refused people from this planet to enter.

Of course, it is impossible for all the aborigines in Izzy to move away, and many people remained behind, working as laborers, waiters, and even prostitutes. So-Gerrera recruited a large number of residents to participate in the construction of factories and barracks. At the same time, he also recruited many laborers to clean up the high-rise buildings that blocked the roads that he had blown up before.

When the laborers of Planet Onderon dug up the ruins of the building, they saw the unrecognizable corpse with a terrified expression, crying bitterly and terrified. However, under the intimidation of the soldiers of the So-Gerrera regime, they took up tools to clean up the piles of ruins.

Naturally, Wilhuff Tarkin didn't care, he only gave Saw Gerrera three days, and demanded that the city of Izzy be organized into a usable barracks within three days for his army to attack Dirksen satellite.

In the past few days, soldiers of the Galactic Republic have been stationed in the city of Izzy, and there is an endless stream of soldiers in gray uniforms carrying blaster rifles entering the city from outside the city almost every moment.

These soldiers are all ordinary people, not strictly disciplined clone troopers. It is not difficult to foresee what will happen when they pour into this city that is completely open to them.

Of course, at present, the soldiers of the Republic still maintain a certain degree of military discipline. At most, they just occasionally rob some interesting things from the hands of local residents. For example, a newest holographic player, a quantum timer, a crystal necklace, etc. Worse things have not happened yet.

But who can guarantee it?

After all, under the current administrative system of the Galactic Republic, the reason why these soldiers chose to serve as soldiers itself meant that their family conditions were very average. Then when they arrive on another strange planet, can they not be tempted by seeing all the colorful things?

The reason why there is not yet is because the commander headed by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker still has absolute control over the army.

Anakin-Skywalker, while angry at what was happening, didn't go straight to Governor Tarkin to argue.

Because he understands that all of this is a last resort and must happen.

With an army of 7 million people, including a large number of fighter jets, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery, it is impossible for such a huge military force to launch an attack directly from a spaceship. Because this army consumes astronomical figures every day!

Such a huge demand for materials is impossible to transit through spacecraft, unless the number of transport ships in their hands is increased by 50 times!

They must have a place with enough space to take off, land and maintain fighter jets, to house the army, to treat the wounded, and to store and transport hundreds of millions of tons of ammunition supplies.

Anakin-Skywalker has retreated back and forth to the bottom line of this war. He had to watch all this happen, but he had no choice but to help the evildoer, to help Governor Tarkin and Saw Gerrera Put down the rising uprisings and riots.

It has been two days since he and Sister Dream came to Izzy City, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of Stella Grera at all, let alone the whereabouts of the masked woman.

They seemed to evaporate from the air.

But it is not easy to find it. The city of Izzy is in complete chaos right now—people are being forcibly removed, a large number of soldiers are entering, the barracks are being built, the ruins are being cleared, and the corpses are being burned...

They simply do not have the ability to find targets among the tens of millions of people who are moving.
