Chapter 598: Punishment

Chapter 598: Punishment

22BBY, June 21, a month has passed since the outbreak of the war.

The Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems can be said to be in full swing. Out of the 17 directions they launched their first attack, 11 of them had already won.

Following a series of early victories, the Confederacy of Independent Systems' actions became bolder, and the Droid Legion launched a larger-scale offensive under the command of General Grievous. Sometimes even the Escort Battleships are not needed, and a team of Transport Ships are directly sent to force a landing, and then a large number of Droid Legions launch a ground invasion on that Planet.

This trick is very effective, because many Outer Rim Planets do not actually have much Defense Force, and those who are usually just pretending on a certain Planet will be thrown to death. Their Army may not even be as powerful as the 21st Century and It is impossible to resist the Droid Legion's attack.

The result is that these Planets can only throw a snowflake-like letter of help towards Coruscant, which puts the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic in a dilemma.

On the one hand, they have limited strength. After the Battle of Geonosis, only about 110,000 Clone Troopers were left to continue fighting. In the subsequent battles, more than 40,000 Clone Troopers have been sent out one after another. The remaining more than 70,000 Clone Troopers need to deal with the battles in hundreds of places, which is obviously impossible.

In the Military Expansion Bill signed by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, 1 Billion Soldiers have been recruited and are training on more than 1,000 Planets. However, it will take at least half a year for these Soldiers to form combat effectiveness.

So the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic could only ask Palpatine for instructions to shrink the Line of Defense and give up part of the Outer Rim.

But Sheev Palpatine categorically rejected this proposal. He strictly ordered the Republic's Military to fight for every inch. Of course, his reasons were also high-sounding, "I will never give up every inch of the Republic's territory, every citizen, and even every Planet! In the eyes of the Republic, there is no such thing as giving up! Because every Planet and every person is equally important!"

"But we have to find a way to deal with it... We simply don't have the strength to defend so many Planets at the same time..." The Chief of Staff of the Republic had no choice but to spread his hands and say.

Palpatine shook his head, looked at Master Windu at the side, and asked, "Master Windu, do you have any suggestions?"

Master Windu was also in a dilemma. He looked at the Holographic Star Map in the center, and marked the Planet under attack in red on it. It looked dense and shocking. He took a deep breath and said: "The Jedi Order will fully cooperate with the Republic Army actions, perhaps we can refer to the situation of the Battle of Naboo."

"Battle of Naboo?"

Master Windu nodded, "That's right, the Battle of Naboo 10 years ago was the same situation. The Planet Naboo had no resistance against the Droid Army of the Trade Federation, but the final victory belonged to Planet Naboo." ."

The Chief of Staff mused: "Naboo's Air Force destroyed the Droid Control Ship, while Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi captured Nute Gunray, turning the tide of battle in one fell swoop. "

Palpatine sighed and said: "I understand what you mean, Master Windu. But this also means that the leading Jedi Knights will be in great danger."

"The Jedi Knights were originally walking in danger, and it is our mission to do everything for the Republic and the people." Master Windu said.

Palpatine was already smiling in his heart at this moment, but he looked very heavy on the surface, "On behalf of the Trillions of People in the Galaxy, I thank the Jedi Knights for their dedication."

...

At the same time, Rhen Var.

Bravo Base has been completely captured, but the result is not perfect.

"If this is the case, I don't think you can solve it. Now the Decimator Tank and Zian Finnis may already be on Coruscant." Tang Xiao said.

"No, according to the information sent by Mrs. M, the Decimator Tank and Zian Finnis were not sent to Coruscant, but instead headed towards Umbara. We still have a chance to intercept them! I need the cooperation of an Elite Force, and I want the Fourth Army!" Sev'rance Tann said.

Tang Xiao pushed the documents on the table aside and said: "Now Fleet B is preparing for the next plan to attack Christophsis, and the Fourth Army will also participate in this, which can be said to be the most important plan since we started the war. At this time, I don't want to cause extra trouble. The original plan for the battle on Christophsis was to be commanded by you, yet you just want to run away with the Fourth Legion in order to hand over the battle against 35 Billion people to a recent graduate of the Military Academy?!"

"It won't take long! It would be best if that Jedi Knight named Shen-Jon is there too! I will cut off his head myself!" Sev'rance Tann said viciously.

"Now you are not suitable for the battlefield, even looking at your mental state, I don't think you are still suitable for commanding the Battle of Christophsis! If necessary, you can switch with Matt Horner, let him do it and command this battle." Tang Xiao said coldly.

"No! I'm calm now! But the Prototype of the Decimator Tank must be destroyed! According to the current intelligence, the Republic also knows nothing about the Decimator Project, so we must destroy this Prototype to ensure this Technology is exclusive to us!" Sev'rance Tann said.

Tang Xiao smiled coldly, stood up and said, "Then, leave this matter to the Angel of Death."

"Angel of Death? Are you going to..." Sev'rance Tann certainly knew who the Angel of Death was, but before she finished speaking, her neck was suddenly grabbed by an Invisible Force, and she immediately lifted it up!

The expression on Tang Xiao's face gradually turned ferocious, "That's right, Angel of Death. You don't know anything about power, Tann, this time, I will personally tell you what the irresistible power in the Galaxy is like!"

With a wave of his hand, Sev'rance Tann's tender neck fell into his hands, his strength gradually increased, and Sev'rance Tann struggled, "I'm tired of seeing you show off that power of a three-legged cat! I thought that if you let Eldra go with you, you should be restrained, but the result is not the case. Find out why I let you be promoted to Admiral right after joining?! Why did I ask you to come?! Yes! You should know that I never asked you to compare with several Jedi Knights whose Lightsaber dances better!!"

With that, he gave a sharp push and slammed Tann against the wall.

"Pfft!!" Sev'rance Tann spat out a big mouthful of blood, and the Mechanical Arm that his right arm just hit also malfunctioned, making a creaking sound. Obviously, just now, Tang Xiao had used The Force and destroyed the arm.

Tang Xiao walked over, grabbed Sev'rance Tann by the hair, and dragged her across the floor from the office to the elevator, and then directly to his Secret Hangar Platform.

Boom! He kicked Tann into Red Comet, the Sith Infiltrator, and then took off his coat, revealing the tight Combat Uniform he was wearing all the time underneath, and covered his figure and face with a Black Hood.

Standing in front of Sev'rance Tann at this moment is no longer the Governor of Dawn, but...

Sith Lord, Darth Malthael!

Now Sev'rance Tann looks extremely miserable. She fell to the ground with her hair disheveled, her right arm, which had just been replaced with a Mechanical Arm, was damaged, and she couldn't move at all. Her head stays down to her neck and around her neckline is red. With this appearance, there is no demeanor of the high-spirited famous General who just captured the Sarapin. She is clearly a little woman who has just suffered domestic violence.

However, even so, she dared not resist in front of Darth Malthael with her high heart. When she followed Malthael to learn the skills of the Dark Side of The Force, the powerful Dark Side of The Force from Darth Malthael left an extremely terrifying impression in her heart.

It can be said that in the entire Galaxy, Darth Malthael is the only one who can scare her.

"What are you still doing? Stand up! Fly the spaceship! Are you still waiting for me to find the location of the Decimator Tank Prototype?" Darth Malthael kicked Tann.

Sev'rance Tann had no choice but to stand up tremblingly while leaning on the bulkhead, sit down on the driver's seat, and start the Thrusters of the Spaceship with difficulty using her only movable left hand.
