Chapter 1146 New Shadows
1145, New Shadows
Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano succeeded with the help of clone commander CC-2224 Cody Escaped from the trap on the Kent and confirmed that Jedi Master Pon Krell had fallen to the dark side and betrayed him. He also colluded with the separatist dark believer Asajj Ventress to intervene on the planet Umbala. fighting.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the army of the Galactic Republic. The legion led by Pang Krell suffered heavy losses during the frontal attack, and was later violently bombed by the Kent. Basically, All combat units have been dispersed, and the legion of more than 9,000 people now has no more than 2,000 combatants!
Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion is in slightly better shape, with less than 3,000 casualties, but now with the collapse of another legion, they are also fighting alone.
A more serious problem is that because Pon Krell previously launched a rash attack on the capital, Anakin Skywalker also adopted a radical strategy to cooperate with his actions, allowing the 501st Legion to break through the enemy blockade and reach the capital faster. . So under such circumstances, some Umbala troops on their sides and rear also began to outflank them.
The four Cheer-class assault landing ships they are on board are now in a precarious situation.
One of the two Cheer-class ships of the Pon-Krel Corps, the Kent, was captured by Asajj Ventress, and then destroyed the other Cheer-class on the ground.
You must know that the Cheer-class landing on the ground is actually used as a fortress with powerful firepower and a command center. After losing two Cheer-class ships, the Umbala people in his direction can be unimpeded. The troops were mobilized into the capital from here to support the operation.
As for the 212th Attack Battalion, which was responsible for blocking the Umbala reinforcements, it was also forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses. In this direction, tens of thousands of Umbala troops began to threaten the rear of the Pon-Krel Army!
Anakin Skywalker reported to the Jedi Order the news that Master Pon Krell had betrayed him and made the entire Umbala war irreversible. He then led his troops to retreat, gave up the plan to attack the capital, and returned to his own country. Cheer-class assault landing ship, preparing to switch to defense.
At the same time, Anakin asked for help from the Republic's Supreme Strategic Command, hoping to receive more reinforcements.
The planet Umbala must be taken back! Galactic Senate Speaker Sheev Palpatine reiterated this point during a parliamentary meeting.
Because if the Umbala planet cannot be recovered, then this will be a major blow to other doubtful planets. These planets are likely to think that the cost of betraying the Galactic Republic is not high, and thus take the risk!
However, just when the Supreme Strategic Command began to prepare to mobilize more troops, a piece of bad news suddenly came!
Severance Tann, the famous separatist general who disappeared after occupying the Eriadu system, appears again! And she led an elite fleet, the flagship of which was another Conqueror-class battleship - the Destruction! !
The terrible shadow of the Venom Fang once again falls!
She led the Destruction and a fleet composed of 5 Divinity-class destroyers and 10 Behemoth-class battlecruisers to suddenly attack the Ambria system, where a Galactic Republic fleet was assembled. Prepare to launch a counterattack from the direction of the planet Onderon.
The Umbrea Galaxy has assembled a powerful force of 30 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 3 Victory-class Star Destroyers, and 5 Cheer-class assault landing ships, but this fleet is in Seif Lance Tann was completely destroyed in front of him!
Under the talented command of Severance Tann, the officially commissioned Behemoth-class battlecruiser fully displayed its powerful combat effectiveness. The powerful plasma cannon, the Yamato Cannon, poses a serious threat to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.
The Jaeger-class deflector shield was thoroughly proven in this battle to be unable to withstand the Yamato cannon fire, and the internal structure of the battleships also meant that once their armor was broken, what awaited them was almost immediately a tragic shipwreck and fatalities. ending!
In the previous battles, the Galactic Republic had only encountered a cluster of Behemoth-class battlecruisers once or twice, and suffered defeat every time. But in this air battle in the Umbrea galaxy, the blow to the Galactic Republic military was very direct...
There is nothing worse than a fleet that is gathering and ready to go being suddenly attacked, and then He had almost no power to fight back and was beaten to the point where his entire army was almost wiped out, which was even more humiliating!
What’s even more frightening is that this time the Conqueror-class battleship Destruction did not conduct a single-ship raid like its predecessor, the Fang, but served as a fleet flagship to support an entire fleet in operations.
The terrifying threat of the Conqueror class in fleet battles once again proved the concerns of the Galactic Republic military - Severance Tann used the Destruction's directed high-energy electronic pulse to destroy the Republic fleet's fighter jets swarmed and continuously destroyed the formation of the Republic fleet, and then used the Yamato cannon of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser to destroy the Republic Chasseur-class one by one.
And after Severance Tann destroyed the Republic fleet in the Ambrea system, she didn't stay much longer. Instead, she turned around and disappeared into the vast sea of stars. The plan to counterattack the planet Onderon was aborted. The Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic urgently stopped counterattack plans in other directions and immediately convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.
The level of the war council escalated, eventually including Chancellor Sheev Palpatine and Jedi Order leader Master Windu.
……
At the same time, the planet Rendili.
Galli-Ulan walked quickly through the gorgeous and noble palace, which was completely inconsistent with the elegance and calmness they usually displayed.
His robes swayed with the movement of the wind under his feet, and the thin fabric even outlined the outline of Gali Ulan's thighs... It was simply unbearable to look at.
In fact, when designing this kind of robe, the posture of the wearer when running was never considered.
“Father!” Gali Ulan pushed open the study door and walked in, shouting in an almost impolite tone.
Standing in front of the window, reading an ancient book through a holographic projection, is a thin old man. He is energetic and not angry. He is the supreme leader of Rendili Planet and Rendili Interstellar Power Company. The patriarch of the Ulan family - Banjila Ulan.
He gently waved his hand and asked the beautiful maids next to him to step back, and then asked slowly: "Is just a ship of destruction enough to make you panic like this? Gary, this shouldn't be what the heir of the family should do. "
Gali Ulan was stunned, "Do you know what I want to say? Father?"
"The sudden appearance of the Destruction, the air battle in the Ambrea Galaxy. , This is what you want to tell me." Bangila Ulan said lightly.
“This air battle is of great value to us!” Gali Ulan said eagerly.
“Three Victory-class Star Destroyers participated in this battle, and combat data showed that the Victory-class Star Destroyer’s deflector shield could barely withstand the attack of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser’s main gun. And even if the deflector shield is broken, the Star Destroyer's scientific and effective armor belt layout and structural damage are enough to sustain it, so that the Star Destroyer will not lose its combat effectiveness." Bangila Ulan said calmly, "Compared to that. For the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, this battle almost immediately put the answer to the battle against the Behemoth-class battlecruiser..."
"That's right! It's our Victory-class Star Destroyer!!" Gary Ulan was extremely excited. "I have already asked the public relations department to start working on the analysis report and simulated combat of the Victory-class Star Destroyer as an integral part of the Republic fleet. Send the record to the Republic Ship Oversight Committee! This may allow the Republic military to officially purchase the Victory class! Not only that, I also submitted the Victory II-class shipbuilding plan!"
Who knows! There was no excitement at all on Benjira Ulan's face. He just shook his head slightly and said: "Contact the Angel of Death, the time has come."
