Chapter 1926 The End of Felucia
1927. The End of Felucia
"You should know very well that if you draw a sword against me, the final outcome will be death, right?" Das - Vader said coldly, he slowly raised the lightsaber in his hand and opened the sword stance.
This is his unique and improved sword style, which seems to be like the fifth style of swordsman Sheen/Dejem-So, but also has some characteristics of the third and fourth styles of swordsmanship. .
Seeing such sword power, even Sora Balk's face became serious.
If it had been anyone else, Thora Balk would have definitely scolded the opponent for taking it for granted to modify the starting hand of the lightsaber. But standing in front of him now was Darth Vader, one of the strongest men in the entire galaxy!
Faced with such an existence, Sora Balk would naturally not think that the adjustment of the opponent's sword force was just the result of taking it for granted.
Sora Balk took a deep breath, and then took out another object from his waist—a short-barreled blaster shotgun!
Then he slowly brought the back end of the blaster shotgun and lightsaber hilt together, forming a strange sword gesture. It looks like the so-called gun fighting technique, and it also looks like some kind of variation of lightsaber swordsmanship, but in fact, this posture is to use the short-barreled shotgun as another lightsaber, using the lightsaber double-sword swordsmanship. It is a brand-new technique based on the action of gun fighting!
The unique lightsaber swordsmanship belonging to the swordsman Sora Balk!
Thora Balk constantly adjusted his breathing. As his breathing rhythm continued to adjust, the connection between him and the Force was also in an optimal state.
Although his character cannot be shaken by the words of Darth Vader, who in his opinion is just a stupid being, in fact, what Darth Vader said is right. ...
Sora Balk did come to fight Darth Vader with the mentality of sacrificing himself.
In fact, Thora Balk was still very popular among the Jedi Order even at the landmark point of the outbreak of the Clone Wars, three months after the First Battle of Geonosis. Famous and very hardline leader of the anti-war faction.
During the Battle of Geonosis, Master Windu led more than 200 Jedi Knights to the planet Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was kidnapped by the Separatists. Thora Balk was one of the Jedi who participated in this battle.
And he relied on his superb swordsmanship to fight his way out of countless battle robots in the arena battle.
Up to that time, Thora Balk still maintained a rational way of thinking about the development of the situation. He was still opposed to war. He believed that if the war was allowed to break out, both the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order would be destroyed. Depart from your own path.
However, at that time, Count Dooku found him and told him that the Galactic Republic had come to an end. This war would detonate almost all conflicts within the Republic and push the Galactic Republic into the abyss of destruction. Moreover, Count Dooku also told Thora Balk that a powerful force must be established within the galaxy in order to eliminate those internal conflicts.
Count Dooku said that currently only the Jedi Order still possesses moral and rational purity and supremacy. If the Jedi Order can be changed and rule the Galactic Republic in a more powerful manner, Then all the problems he worries about will be solved. The biggest problem at the moment is that Masters Yoda and Windu, who lead the Jedi Order, don't think much about it. Therefore, they are the culprits who prevent the galaxy from becoming stronger and more united.
This was originally just Count Dooku's way of talking about people and ghosts at that time, but the problem was that because Count Dooku's eloquence was so good, Thora Balk actually believed it!
He wholeheartedly believed that what he was doing was to save the galaxy, save the Galactic Republic, and change the Jedi Order. He also prepared and trained for a long time for this. The result is that when Sora Balk first fell to the dark side, he didn't even have the slightest awareness. He always thought that he was just in the state of wandering between darkness and light when he used the Wapad sword technique.
After that, Thora Balk broke away from the Jedi Order under the instigation of Count Dooku, and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems and became one of the most powerful dark believers under Count Dooku. But his inner beliefs have never changed. He believes that he is fighting for the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order!
Now, after witnessing the reorganization of the Galactic Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order, Thora Balk has long been heartbroken. He believes that his struggle has finally failed.
So in this battle to guard the planet Felucia, Sora Balk was already determined to die. But now the powerful force fluctuations caused by the battle between the God of Death and Darth Vader attracted his attention. After rushing over to witness the battle, Thora Balk decided that there was still more time before he died. Do something.
Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. Thora Balk, as one of the most powerful dark believers in the Confederation of Independent Systems, is naturally qualified to know this information.
Thora Balk naturally hated this traitor who personally issued Order 66 and destroyed the Jedi Order!
So he also made up his mind - no matter what Darth Vader wants to do, he must stop it! If he intends to kill Master Adi Gallia, who seems to be in a bad state, then he must not be allowed to succeed!
What's more, Thora Balk, as Adi Gallia's predecessor in the Jedi Order, had a good impression of this smart Jedi master. At this time, it is natural to pull Adi Gallia.
Seeing that the God of Death had run away, and it seemed that there was no chance to kill this powerful and strange Jedi this time, Darth Vader was angry, and he walked towards Thora Balk step by step. go!
If there is no way to kill Adi Gallia, then killing Thora Balk, one of the most powerful dark believers in the Confederation of Independent Systems, is also a very good result!
Darth Vader suddenly charged forward, slashing down the bloody lightsaber with terrifying power!
Sora Balk holds a sword in his left hand and a short-barreled shotgun in his right hand. He keeps firing and swinging his sword, combining distance and distance, using the coverage and range of the shotgun to restrict Darth Vader's movement. The lightsaber in hand is fully deployed!
The seventh sword technique, Wapad!
This powerful swordsmanship created by Master Mace Windu, only Windu, Sora Balk and Depa Billaba in the entire galaxy can practice it to the point of perfection!
The Wapad sword technique is extremely powerful. It combines the violence of the seventh sword technique of the dark side, Zhu Yue, and the stability of the light side sword technique. It is even more tricky when used in the hands of Sora Balk. And he was vicious, and with the short-barreled blaster shotgun, he actually suppressed Darth Vader for a while!
Just as the two men were fighting fiercely, neither of them noticed that an unexpected change occurred in the outer space of the planet Felucia that no one expected! The current planet Felucia is being surrounded by 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyers and 3 Cheer-class assault landing ships. These warships are deployed in planetary synchronous orbit and continue to send more Imperial Stormtroopers to land. At the same time, it is also providing fire reinforcements for ground troops and providing take-off and landing platforms for fighter formations.
And because Darth Vader defeated Death in the previous battle and chased him far away, he was forced to interrupt due to the harassment of Death. The ground offensive has also been launched again, with the target directed at Coviteo City, the capital of the planet Felucia!
For this offensive, the Imperial Army invested 100,000 troops, all clone warriors of the Imperial Stormtroopers, and they were all well-equipped. Including the 1-M medium-sized hover tank developed to fight against the Scorpion tanks of the Principality of Dawn and upgraded from the TX-130 Saber hover tank, and the 1-H heavy tank, which is the backbone of the Imperial Army and replaces the AT-TE walker. And the most powerful walker vehicle currently in the Imperial Army-AT-AT!
In addition, there are a full 200,000 troops deployed as reserves behind.
The huge army directly broke into the interior of Coviteo City, and the robot army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems also put up a very determined resistance based on the urban terrain.
Therefore, in this battle, in order to maintain the ground offensive, most of the Galactic Empire's fleets focused on providing support for the ground battlefield.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed out in the outer space of the planet! Immediately afterwards, a huge spaceship emerged from the hyperspace jump and appeared in the universe.
With a length of 4825 meters, a huge hull, and a sharp bow that looks like a bird's beak - it is the super battleship of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Conqueror-class battleship! !
It’s just that unlike the No. 1 ship Fang, which was destroyed before, and the No. 2 ship Destruction, which is currently under Severance Tann’s fleet, the sides of this battleship are useless. Instead of a dish-shaped device that emits directional high-energy electromagnetic pulses, there is a pair of hemispherical devices.
This is the third ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, the Carnage! And equipped on this battleship is a secret weapon-the breath of the dragon!
After leaving hyperspace, the Carnage accelerated towards the planet. The Galactic Empire fleet, which was in planet-synchronous orbit, was unable to react for a while. By the time these battleships began to turn around under the orders of their respective captains, the Carnage battleship had already approached the planet and entered the planet-synchronous orbit!
The Conqueror-class battleship is not a battleship that can fight freely in the atmosphere. Its huge body makes it difficult to move in the atmospheric environment, and the action of the Slaughter was beyond everyone's expectations. Because this is equivalent to voluntarily giving up mobility, and it seems that you want to confront the imperial fleet head-on?
An Imperial-class Star Destroyer has already approached the battleship Carnage, and the two sides are exchanging fierce fire. The 500 medium-sized turbolaser cannons equipped on the Carnage battleship fired dense beams of light onto the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
The Imperial-class Star Destroyer also showed the level of a new generation of battleships, standing firm even in the face of the powerful artillery bombardment of the Carnage battleship!
This is no longer the era during the Clone Wars, when Conqueror-class battleships could casually defeat Jaeger-class battlecruisers. Even if there is only one Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it still has the firepower and protection to compete head-on with the Conqueror-class battleship. Although the loser is definitely the Imperial-class, considering the huge size gap between the two, it can actually It is a good explanation of the changes of the times and the update of equipment.
But the Slaughter battleship was obviously not coming for the Imperial fleet. After the battleship entered the synchronous orbit, hemispherical bulge-like devices on both sides unfolded, and inside was a green mist that looked like What a weird launcher!
The breath of the dragon!
The launcher of the biochemical virus Trihexalon! A super virus that can kill every living thing on the planet!
Dragon's Breath opens fire before more Imperial-class Star Destroyers can arrive on the scene! Rays composed of green smoke were immediately launched to the surface of the planet, and the green smoke began to spread instantly! The color is getting lighter and lighter, the scope is getting wider and wider, and it is gradually sweeping towards the entire surface of the planet.
The first one to bear the brunt is the planet's capital, Coviteo City, which is currently undergoing a fierce offensive and defensive battle!
Thora Balk also noticed the spread of the virus through his perception of the Force. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. Although the color of the poisonous gas could no longer be seen here, the extremely dangerous energy coming from the Force The induction also reminded him all the time that death was falling from the sky!
He also immediately understood that he had been abandoned...
Count Dooku issued an order to use the dragon's breath on the planet Felucia. It was obvious that he would rather sacrifice more than a thousand people on the entire planet. Thousands of civilians' lives are lost, and all the main force of the Imperial Stormtroopers must be wiped out here!
When he issued this order, he obviously did not consider the life and death of Thora Balk.
The old Weequay Dark Jedi Master looked to the sky in despair. It didn't matter that Count Dooku betrayed him, but what was even more unacceptable to Thora Balk was that Count Dooku betrayed his beliefs!
In the final analysis, he is not fighting for the freedom of the galaxy, nor is he fighting for a better future. What he is fighting for is only his own power and ambition!
"Dooku... when did you... abandon your ideals?" Thora Balk sighed, and in his heart, the last trace of persistence was shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Darth Vader's blood-red lightsaber pierced the heart of Sora Balk! !
At the same time, 10 Empire-class Star Destroyers have arrived and started a fierce exchange of fire with the Carnage battleship in planet-synchronous orbit!
After holding on for more than two hours, the battleship Carnage was finally overwhelmed. Amidst the continuous bombardment by the Empire-class Star Destroyer, a violent explosion finally occurred. Fires ignited on the surface of the battleship, and then it fell uncontrollably!
