Chapter 798: The Dark Clouds of the Geth
797. The Dark Clouds of the Geth
The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
In the meeting hall at the top of the central tower of the Jedi Temple, including Master Yoda, Ith-Kos, Plo-Kon, Sass-Tin, and Opal Lanzisis Members of the Supreme Council of the Jedi Order came here to discuss the recent attack in the Perrin sector in the wild star region of the galaxy.
Among them, Saas-Tin attended the meeting via hyperspace communication.
Now all aspects of the battle are very urgent, because Severance Tann is attacking the Nubian planet, the headquarters of the Republic's 2nd Army, after joining the Trade Federation fleet. Therefore, Master Windu personally went to the front line to take command and was unable to participate in this event. meeting.
At the same time, Master Depa-Biraba is also fighting hard on the planet Harunkar, and has not received any messages from her for a month or two.
Excluding Master Shakti who is stationed on Kamino planet, and other people with missions, as well as Master Adi Gallia who has been confirmed to have died, the Supreme Council of Twelve can still arrive at the scene. , only the five of them were left.
Not to mention that Master Yoda needs to be stationed on Coruscant, and Master Plo-Kon still needs to recover from the injuries he suffered when he was attacked by the battleship Venom Fang. Now the Supreme Council can only use There are only three people left, Isi-Kos, Saas-Tin and Opal Lanzixis!
"Baloy has confirmed his sacrifice and has felt this in the Force." Plo-Kong said.
"My fleet has arrived in the Valk system and has launched a search and rescue operation. Judging from the current situation, the more than 1.4 million residents on the Valk planet are probably in danger. The specific situation requires further investigation." Sass-Tin said, it turns out that The reason why he participated in the meeting remotely was because he had already gone to the Valk galaxy.
"One thing that concerns me very much is that Baloyi had clearly retreated from the planet Valk and sent a distress signal. Why did he die after that? What happened?" Is-Kos frowned and said.
“This is indeed contrary to common sense. Logically speaking, since he has retreated to await reinforcements, and the Supreme Strategic Command has also given instructions to him not to leave and wait where he is, he should not be confused. Run." Plo-Kong said.
Saas-Tin said: "Baloi's spaceship is not on the planet Valk. Our sensors are now scanning the entire galaxy in order to find their traces, but it will take some time. The most important thing Yes, we don’t know if he has left this galaxy.”
Master Yoda said solemnly, holding his cane and saying, “The seventh attack, the planet Valk has a new enemy. Appearance, I feel, is very important to find traces of the enemy.”
At this time, a clone commander appeared from Suss-Tin's holographic projection. He performed a military salute and said to Sass-Tin: "General Suss, our Cheer-class assault landing ship has been Entering the planet's atmosphere, landing is about to begin!"
"Okay, start landing immediately! Pay attention to searching for survivors, and try not to fire directly on the Cheer class, and use LAAT assault transport boats for air support." Suss-Tin said, "Pay attention to the living dead. According to reports, these living dead are more difficult to deal with than the virus-infected people we encountered on the planet Christophsis."
"Yes!"
Sass-Tin turned to the communicator and said to Master Yoda and others: "I will sit in the battleship in space, report the combat situation to you at any time, and guard against possible enemy space forces."< br>
"Thank you for your hard work in this battle. Finding clues is more important." Master Yoda nodded.
On the surface of the planet Valk, two Cheer-class assault landing ships have entered the atmosphere, and 11,000 clone soldiers of the Galactic Republic began landing operations on a large number of LAAT/I assault transport craft.
A group of clone troopers descended to the ground, quickly established a position, and then began to attack with the powerful firepower support of AT-TE walkers. Their target is the largest cluster of living dead near this colony. Judging from aerial reconnaissance, this cluster stretches for 4 or 5 square kilometers and numbers more than 100,000!
Because the opponents were all the living dead, the clone army did not land in the city. Instead, they directly found an open area near the corpses to land and directly started extermination activities with the living dead.
After the Cheer-class assault landing ship lowered the power of its turbolaser cannon, it bombed the zombies on the ground without damaging other things as much as possible. Terrifying explosions continued. It was lifted up on the ground, and countless corpses were blown to pieces.
The LAAT assault transport boat also unscrupulously opened up its firepower and licked the ground crazily. Without having to consider the opponent's counterattack, there is nothing more exciting than driving a gunboat to lick the ground.
On the front, the clone soldiers formed into small teams and launched an assault. Together with the AT-TE walkers and AT-XT walkers, they built a powerful frontal fire network. No matter how strong the corpse puppets were, Even if the DC-15 blaster rifle takes several shots to kill one, they are still wiped out in large numbers in the face of those high-power gunfire.
The battle is going very well.
As the front advanced, some technicians immediately came down in shuttles to collect samples from corpses for analysis.
"General, according to preliminary analysis, there is basically no moisture inside these corpses, they are completely dry, and the internal tissues of the body have also undergone alienation. The epidermis has become very tough, and it is difficult for ordinary knife blades to penetrate their skin. Leaving scars on them. And because the heat dissipation of the skin has also been improved, they are also resistant to blaster rifles," the technician said.
Sass-Tine also forwarded this information to Master Yoda.
"How do they move? What are those blue highlights on their bodies?" Is-Kos asked.
“This seems to be a nanoscale control device. After this control device is injected, it moves to key locations in the body through the empty blood vessels of these corpses, provides energy and controls the corpse. We The blue highlights you see are energy nodes. This energy is very efficient and can support the movement of this corpse for at least a month," the technician said.
“But even so, this kind of living dead still does not pose a threat to the regular army... If those infected with the T virus are a by-product of the Dawn Planet’s use of Inchori biological weapons, then Why on earth do the enemies here go to great lengths to create this kind of ineffective living dead?" Sussin frowned and thought.
Master Yoda sighed and slammed his crutch on the ground, "The meaning of fear, these living dead."
Puluo Kong nodded and said: "Indeed, if these enemies create these living dead to attack the colonies, this terrifying form can indeed cause panic and demoralize the defenders so that they have no intention of resisting. Then through interference If the colony's communications are blocked, the people in this colony will soon fall into despair and chaos in fear, and will eventually be easily captured."
"In Baloyi's report, these living dead were impaled in steel. Did you find any steel thorns on the thorns?" Sas-Tin asked.
"General, we did not find any steel spikes." The clone commander replied.
At this moment, a communication link suddenly came in, "Report! We have found General Baloi's spaceship!"
