The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1412. Invisible Rules

After Luna-Meng and Luna-Huan returned to the fleet under the protection of Anakin Skywalker, they were immediately sent to the medical cabin for emergency treatment, and Governor Tarkin even sent them back to Coruscant on his special plane.

They were badly injured, both physically and mentally, very badly.

Kanes-Moulna's full blow came from the dream, which is a subjective and against the will of the world, and the dream sisters were also in the dream at that time.

And Kanes Moore, the Sith Demon Lord 7,000 years ago, how powerful his heart and soul are is simply unimaginable. It took months for even Darth Malthael to absorb him bit by bit, let alone the dream sisters now.

The offensive on the Dirksen satellite is still going on, and countless soldiers of the Galactic Republic continue to attack the defense line of the city of steel.

After a long siege, the city-level shield of the Iron City was finally completely broken. The moment the coolant dried up, the overheated shield capacitor ignited a raging fire, and even showed an ion state at extremely high temperatures. , the terrible flame ignited the entire large building, like a volcano.

Under the command of General Kalani, all the separatist robot legions began to shrink towards the interior of the city. Even the Scorpion tank group circled around the city before re-entering the city, and then dispersed into more than a dozen mobile combat groups. .

The battle has officially entered the stage of street fighting.

With the destruction of the city's shield, the powerful firepower advantage of the Galactic Republic army began to play out. A group of fighter jets roared over the city continuously, dropping powerful bombs and launching proton torpedoes and missiles against the powerful anti-aircraft firepower.

AV-7 self-propelled artillery and AT-TE walkers also kept bombing the city with heavy artillery.

Under the deep coverage of firepower, Iron City's anti-aircraft firepower and long-range firepower suffered heavy losses, which further weakened their peripheral resistance.

There is nothing that can stop the army of the Galactic Republic from breaking into the city.

...

The temporary flagship of the Galactic Republic Fleet, on the bridge of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the Steel Fist.

"This is the seventh serious armed confrontation today... General Skywalker, Governor Tarkin." An officer walked over and said to Wilhuff Tarkin and Anakin who were standing in the middle of the bridge and commanding - Skywalker presented the report.

"What's the cause of the matter? If it's another case of rape, robbery, or murder caused by our soldiers, then we will cooperate with Planet Onderon and severely punish it." Anakin Skywalker frowned and said in a deep voice.

"...This time it was indeed an incident of injury and death, but..." The officer hesitated, looked at Anakin, and said, "It's a family of aborigines. They were relocated to the farm area outside the city under the policy of Lara, but because the farm area became overcrowded, they returned to Izzy City and clashed with the soldiers who temporarily requisitioned their residence. During the scuffle, someone fired a gun, causing Three Aboriginal people and a soldier died."

Anakin-Skywalker rubbed his forehead, he found that this matter simply cannot be handled. If it was simply that some soldiers committed crimes, or some residents were messing around, then the matter would be resolved, but now..., he shook his head and said, "What's the reaction of the authorities on Planet Onderon?"

"The Royal Guard wants to arrest the five soldiers involved, but our people are obviously unwilling. Now the two sides are confronting each other with guns," the officer said.

"What do you think should be done? Jedi Knights." Wilhof Tarkin asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Convict our soldiers and let them arrest these people? Or take our people away forcibly?" Come back? I have to remind you that now we have more than 2 million soldiers in Izzy City, not to mention robbing a few people, even if we wipe out the entire royal guard."

Anakin fell silent.

Wilhof Tarkin said behind him: "It's hard, isn't it? We are the ones who shed their blood for the Galactic Republic, and they are the ones who support the separatism, but they are the ones who built the Behemoth-class warships for them. But now? They can directly arrest our people and stop our actions, things that even the main forces of separatism cannot do."

Anakin remained silent.

"I can tell you some statistics. In fact, you should know it yourself." Tarkin said with his hands behind his back: "Since Ramses Dundup became king again, our army's medical resources in Izzy City have dropped by 12%. Because he strongly demanded that some medical robots and medicines be set aside for local residents. At the same time, the proportion of our army’s rotating troops living in marching tents in the suburbs increased by 22%. Entertainment products have also dropped by nearly 40%, what does this mean?"

He took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Anakin Skywalker, "You are a brave warrior. You have changed my previous impression of Jedi Knights. You should be more powerful than anyone else." We all know what people desire most after returning from the hell on the front line. It is a glass of fine wine, a piece of barbecue, a holographic game, and a warm embrace... But the current planet Onderon is for our soldiers. What is it?"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's the rationed supplies, the poor entertainment, the cold tents... Oh, and the endless protest marches. My cousin once participated in the Stark Supermarket 20 years ago." Space battle, what I can tell you is that the psychology of ordinary soldiers is very fragile. They are not cold clones, but ordinary people with flesh and blood and families. In order to maintain their will to fight, we need to do more Try. But now?"

Tarkin looked at Anakin's face, leaned closer to his ear, and whispered: "Some kind of rule is killing our soldiers, this is not a knife or gun, but some kind of seemingly non-lethal existence... I think you should now be able to understand what I have said to you about...fear and deterrence."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the officer and said loudly: "Send me a law enforcement team! Put on the combat armor of those clones we brought, and take the electric baton! Snatch people back by force! Our own soldiers, even if they commit crimes We need our own court-martial to hear such a big matter! As long as the Royal Guards dare to shoot, they will be shot and killed!!"

"Yes!" The officer immediately stood to attention and said loudly.

Anakin-Skywalker closed his eyes. He knew that the Royal Guards would not back down easily. Today's incident was destined to become a farce. but……

"You're right...at least in this matter." Anakin Skywalker said coldly, and walked towards the outside.

"Healed already? What are your plans?" Tarkin asked.

"I will lead a commando team to break into the city, locate and destroy the Separatist J-1 proton cannons, so that our army's Cheer-class assault landing ships can enter the atmosphere of the Dirksen satellite." Anakin As he spoke, he greeted Ahsoka Tano who was next to him, "Let's go, little devil."
