Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 718: Invasion of Aereen (Part 2)

"General, our Soldiers have retreated more than ten kilometers. The Soldiers have suffered a serious loss of personnel. It's time to retreat!" In the Underground Command Center of Aereen, the Staff Officer said to General Cheng Shitao who was directing the battle in front of the Holographic Map.

Cheng Shitao looked at the hundreds of triangles representing the Clone Trooper Battle Groups on the Holographic Map and remained silent.

From this macroscopic point of view, it can be seen that the Battle Groups of these Clone Troopers advance and retreat in an orderly manner like hundreds of nails digging into their Defense Line.

At this time, he saw that one of them had advanced at least two kilometers, and directly rushed into the triangle of a Frontline Maintenance Station. After connecting to the Communication, he asked, "What's going on at the Thorn Station?"

"General, a few Clone Troopers broke in. They ran around and killed a lot of people!" There were Gunshots and Explosions on the other end of the Communication, "Ammunition Depot! Ammunition Depot, respond immediately! Don't let them infiltrate!"

The situation over there was obviously very critical, and the Commander couldn't even bother to talk to Cheng Shitao.

Cheng Shitao's face was extremely ugly, he put down the communicator, and said, "Blow up the Equipment, retreat."

"Yes!!"

Following the Evacuation Order, all the Droids at Aereen Headquarters immediately launched a desperate charge, and the Army and Civilian Personnel of the Fourth Civilization hurriedly planted Bombs in an orderly manner according to the plan and then moved towards the APOD-33 Dropships.

However, at this moment, Jedi Master Shen-Jon, who was directing operations on the front line, suddenly looked forward in one direction and said seriously, "They want to run!"

"General, do you want to chase?" the Clone Commander asked.

"No, you can't catch up. Continue to attack as planned and capture the opponent's Command Center. This is obviously an Energy Supply Center. You must find out where it is Supplying Energy!" Shen-Jon said, jumping directly onto a Speeder Bike, the Engine was turned to the maximum in an instant, and a long cloud of smoke and dust was pulled out and quickly disappeared from the field of vision.

...

"Your Excellency, Aereen was raided by the Republic and fell an hour ago. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, who presided over the development of the Decimator Project, is currently on Aereen and has lost contact." Helmut Zemo reported.

Francis Underwood rubbed his forehead. It was indeed not his specialty to deal with such Military Affairs, but now Tang Xiao disappeared after leaving a sentence, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Only after Tang Xiao left did some decisions appear so dangerous.

In their impression, Tang Xiao was extremely decisive every time he made a decision, with almost no hesitation. Moreover, some seemingly irrelevant decisions have always proved his foresight in the end. The most important thing is that he rarely makes mistakes, which has led the Fourth Civilization to the present.

So much so that everyone felt that Tang Xiao was an Omnipotent Person. In addition, these High-Level Officials also knew Tang Xiao's identity as the Lord of the Sith, and the Mysterious and Unpredictable Force gave Tang Xiao an extra layer of Mythology.

And now...

"Aereen was suddenly attacked, how did the information leak? How did the Army of the Republic enter the Hutt Space? Also, does the Republic's entry into the Hutt Space mean that the attitude of the Hutts has changed?" Francis Underwood leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

After a while, he opened his eyes, "Help me make an appointment with Hutt Arok Besadii, I have to understand what Hutt's attitude is towards this matter now. In addition, warn about the attack on Aereen Count Dooku, request the Confederacy of Independent Systems to immediately defend Krant and the Decimator's Experimental Facilities must not be destroyed. Then, thoroughly investigate all personnel and material transportation information on Aereen, and find out the reason for the information leak!"

"I think we may need to take some Data away from Krant to prevent valuable Experimental Data from falling into the hands of the Republic." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said in a deep voice.

"If the Research Data and Experimental Models are taken away, the most direct impact is that the Decimator Project needs to be postponed. You must know that according to our current progress, we should be able to complete the research of the Decimator's Energy Extraction Device on Spacecraft within 3 months. After all, our final research topic now is how to solve the problem of Energy Interference between the Hyperdrive and the Energy Extraction Device. If the Experimental Model is removed, it will take at least a month just to reinstall it." Currently in charge of Scientific Research Dr. Feng Yongwang pushed his glasses and said.

Francis Underwood thought for a while and said: "First, make a copy of the Experimental Data as a backup, and then send an additional Fleet to strengthen the Defense of Krant, so as to ensure safety as much as possible without affecting the progress of the project."

"Having said that, I still have to remind you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. If you pursue a large and comprehensive solution, you may fail at both ends, and greater returns mean greater risks. Krant is far away in Hutt Space and whether it is us or the Confederacy of Independent Systems, it's very troublesome for a Fleet to go there." Matt Horner said on the side.

"Since I've already decided, do it." Francis Underwood didn't want to argue with him but said slowly.

However, that night, when Francis Underwood was working in the Prime Minister's Office, he suddenly received an urgent report that Krant was attacked by the Galactic Republic.

With a click, the Red Wine Glass in Francis' hand was crushed by him, and the broken glass cut his palm, dripping with blood.

...

At the same time, the Mid Rim of the Galaxy, the Dustig Sector, Al'Har System, Haruun Kal.

This is a Medium-Sized Planet with a diameter of 10,120 Kilometers. If viewed from Outer Space, it seems that 70% of the Planet is covered by oceans. This seems to be a Planet with a very suitable environment.

However, this is not the case. The Oceans seen from Outer Space are actually Gas Oceans brought out by the violent volcanic activity on the Planet Hundreds of Millions of Years ago, and this Gas is absolutely fatal to life.

The only places on the Planet that can survive are those huge mountains that have penetrated deep into the atmosphere due to volcanic activity. Only by living in such places can they not be affected by those seas of Toxic Gas.

This also resulted in the Nomadic Model of the Residents of Haruun Kal living on the Mountains as being Clans or Extended Families called Gh?sh and the people living on Haruun Kal are called the Korunnai, which means Uplanders.

The Genes and Appearance of the Korunnai are almost the same as those of Humans, except that their skin is generally Darker. In addition, almost all the Korunnai are Force-Sensitive. According to the research from the Jedi Order, this is likely because they are the descendants of the Jedi Knights who fell here during the Sith Wars.

It is such a Hell-Like Planet that gave birth to a man like Jedi Master Mace Windu.
