1494. The End of the Jedi Order (3)
Countless clone soldiers formed a square formation and surrounded the Jedi Temple.
Anakin Skywalker, wearing a black cloak and a sinister face, led the army up the stairs of the main entrance of the temple step by step.
On both sides of the main entrance of the Jedi Temple, sculptures of Jedi sages stand majestically, solemnly and solemnly. The huge gate, which is hundreds of meters high, also demonstrates the tens of thousands of years of majesty and heritage of the Jedi Order.
But now, this most sacred place in the entire galaxy has finally been trampled on!
The current leader of the Jedi Order, Shakti, stood at the door. Although she was so small in front of the one hundred thousand army, she still stood tall and resisted the army of the Galactic Republic on her own.
However, behind her was the huge Jedi Temple. The heavy buildings and sculptures filled her thin body with a sense of heaviness.
"Anakin Skywalker! You have finally reached this point... I can never imagine that this is you!" Shakti looked at Anakin and asked sternly.
"The era of the Jedi Order is over! Put down your resistance, open the library! Accept the interrogation of the Republic!" Anakin Skywalker said loudly.
"We once trusted you so much and nurtured you, but is this the graduation answer sheet you gave us? Are you so ignorant?" Shakti shook her head in pain, "You are the chosen one, you are a Jedi! You should protect all of this, and you should not become a tool for Palpatine's personal ambition! He is still a Sith..."
"It's you who don't understand the truth! Master Shaak Ti! The Jedi Order has become an obstacle to the Galactic Republic. Your existence can only make the Republic continue to move into the abyss!" Anakin Skywalker said.
"You have fallen to the dark side, Anakin. This should not have happened..." Shaak-Ti closed her eyes, her tone full of sadness, "But... the Jedi Order, forever I won’t give in to the darkness!”
Her eyes suddenly opened, and there seemed to be an extremely powerful force of the light side brewing in her unwavering eyes.
Whoosh! ! The blue lightsaber in Shakti's hand opened instantly! She slowly made her sword stance.
Wow~~~! The clone soldiers behind Anakin Skywalker all raised their weapons.
"There is no point in resisting, Master Shaak-Ti." Anakin Skywalker said coldly.
"I have already said that the Jedi Order will never surrender to the dark side! And now, the Galactic Republic, ruled by darkness, is our enemy!" Shakti was extremely determined.
Whoosh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! ! ! !
In the originally dark temple behind Master Shakti, countless stars suddenly lit up! It was the light of countless lightsabers!
The light of these lightsabers almost illuminated the dark temple. Under the colorful light, the resolute faces of hundreds of Jedi Knights and Jedi Apprentices were revealed.
Jedi Order, never surrender!
"Attack, kill without mercy." Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth and gave the final order.
Before he finished speaking, the clone soldiers behind him pulled the trigger at the same time! Countless explosive beams are fired! It was as dense as raindrops, shooting towards the Jedi Temple all the time!
At the same time, the Jedi knights also waved their lightsabers to resist the countless blaster rifle attacks. The reflected blaster beams flew around, some of which hit the Jedi Temple. Some of the walls surrounding the interior bounced back and hit the clone troopers.
For a time, the entire periphery of the Jedi Temple was covered by countless blaster beams!
The clone army, one hundred thousand strong, also launched attacks from several other directions at the same time! They took off in a LAAT/I assault transport and forced a landing above the Jedi Temple.
The top of the trapezoidal main body of the Jedi Temple suddenly entered into a chaotic battle. The Jedi Knights guarded the entrances of the five towers and did not move an inch!
A Jedi Master stood at the door of the tower, facing hundreds of clone soldiers. These soldiers showed no mercy, surrounded him in a fan shape, and never let go of their finger on the trigger!
The blasters were fired like raindrops. Even if the master wielded the lightsaber to the extreme, he could not resist it! Finally, there was a gap in his defensive circle, and an extremely hot blaster beam hit his chest instantly! A violent explosion suddenly blew his chest into bloody pieces! Taking advantage of this gap, more explosive energy beams exploded on him!
After the Jedi Master's unyielding body fell, more clone troopers trampled his corpse into the interior of the Jedi Temple.
Kill anyone you see!
......
