The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

917, Battle of the Western Territory: Conspiracy

Of the 10 Jaeger-class battlecruisers left in outer space by the Republic Fleet, after a round of fierce battles, only 4 remained relatively intact and entered the atmosphere of the planet Marathal.

The fallen battleship fragments and parts seemed to rain down fire in the sky. The smaller ones were burned directly in the atmosphere, and the larger ones fell like heavy bombs, causing serious damage to the ground. .

After severely injuring half of the Republic's fleet, the 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers led by Severance Tann did not stay longer. Except for 3 warships that could only be left due to serious damage, the remaining 32 ships opened The hyperspace engine actually left directly!

The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser formation passed through the planet Harun Karl, which has now joined the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and then entered the Rima trade route to the planet Sullust.

Afterwards, this fleet will be stationed on the planet Sullust, which is very industrially developed. At the same time, it can also deter the 18th Army of the Republic, which has launched several attacks here before. Leah will take the shuttle back to the planet Glenson.

In the upcoming general attack on the planet Eliadu, the planet Sullest will also play a very important role.

...

At the same time, the ground of the planet Marathal.

Obi-Wan Kenobi looked up at the burning sky, the falling pieces of burning battleships, silent... His lips were trembling slightly, he didn't know whether it was fear, sadness, or... anger.

"We were tricked by separatism." Ferrus Olin said aside, "Even in any other situation, Master Kepu-Xie's fleet would not have lost so badly... Without the cover of fighter jets, hunting A Pawn-class battlecruiser is not capable of surviving three times as many Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers..."

He also put away his previous arrogance and anger, because one of the people involved in the decision-making at the time included himself. He understood that the separatist general Severance Tann had firmly grasped their psychology, and then did the opposite, designing a wonderful trap for them to jump into by themselves.

After going through this time, Ferrus Olin finally fully understood how far away he was from revenge.

"She used a similar strategy once on the planet Geonosis, but today, it's just reversed." Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "And she left the ground troops and left directly, she should also It is very clear that even if we only have half of the warships left, with the cooperation of fighter jets, the power in her hands will definitely have no chance of winning. But... is the matter really that simple?"

Two Delta-7 fighter jets descended from the sky and landed firmly on the open space in front of them. The hatch of the fighter jets opened, and two female Jedi knights jumped out.

They are all Mirio people, with sallow complexion. The first one is about 30 years old. He is the Jedi master Luminara Unduli (Luminara Unduli), and the girl who is less than 20 years old behind her is her apprentice. , Barriss Offee.

Luminara came over and said: "The separatist triple robot fighters have dispersed and retreated. I have been wondering before, how could it be possible to carry so many fighters with only 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers? Now it seems that they should be on the planet. Captured some airfields and military bases."

Barris Offee looked at the sky and said worriedly: "But Master Kepu Xie..."

"She has returned to the Force..." Obi-Wan Kenobi said heavily.

"But our battle must continue!" Luminara-Anduri said seriously, "If we fail because we are immersed in sorrow, Master Kepu's sacrifice will become meaningless. Just now I have also let Our air power has been reconditioned, and tomorrow we will bombard confirmed Separatist-held areas in Pixel City."

She looked back at the sky, only to see that the fighter jets of the Republic began to return to the warships for repairs, and about 3,000 fighter jets were homeless. These fighter jets landed on the temporary flat airport, or contacted the local Dar Government forces of the Gogs and Grans, and let them provide spaceports for anchoring.

"But the separatist ground troops..." Obi-Wan Kenobi said solemnly, "Severance Tann has proven countless times that she is one of the best commanders in this galaxy, and every one of her Every action contains a deep purpose, so why did she leave the ground troops alone?"

"As I said before, it is impossible for 35 Dreadnought-class ships to defeat 10 Jaeger-class ships with fighter cover. She should preserve the fleet's strength to the maximum extent." Ferus-Olin said.

Obi-Wan Kenobi shook his head and said, "The last time we tried to figure out her strategy so simply, it just resulted in Master Kepu-Xie's sacrifice."

"Then what do you think we should do!?" Ferrus Olin was a little impatient.

"Tomorrow, Master Luminara will command the air force to cover, and then you will lead the ground forces to launch an attack on Pixel City. I will sneak into the city secretly and meet with the leaders of the Gran and the Dag respectively." Obi-Wan Keno Bee looked at Ferrus, nodded and said, "Please."

Ferus Olin obviously didn't expect Obi-Wan to make such an arrangement without any grievances, he was also taken aback, then his eyes were burning, and he nodded heavily, "I will take every separatist that appears in front of me. Soldiers, crush them thoroughly!"

Obi-Wan Kenobi continued: "Our battleships are not suitable for directly bombing Pixel City. I will ask the fleet commander to use battleships to blockade the surrounding area of ​​Pixel City and cut off all possible foreign aid from the separatists! As long as Pixel City can be recovered , no matter what conspiracy Severance Tann has, it will be revealed to the world!"

...

21BBY, March 35.

With the roar of AT-TE tactical assault walker and AV-7 self-propelled artillery, powerful shells fell from the sky and exploded outside Pixel City!

The clone legion of the Galactic Republic launched the first wave of attack with the TX-130 Saber assault tank as the forerunner!

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! The shells kept falling, and the huge explosion even made the ground tremble!

Major General of the Fourth Civilization Army, Xiao Guanghua, commander-in-chief of the ground forces of the Marathal Battle, stood in the command center set up underground in the city. Every time a shell exploded, a large amount of dust would fall from the ceiling. He raised his hand for the Nth time Wiping off the dust on the holographic projection screen, looking at the criss-crossed battlefield situation on the map, red and blue intertwined, he said in a deep voice: "General Severance Tann has reached the plan and left. Next, there is only We are."
