Although the Resistance Army outside had done everything they could, it was a pity that their actions did not affect the fortress itself at all. After all, the Death Star was too big. It was practically a man-made asteroid. In comparison, the X-Fighters of the Resistance Army were like mosquitoes. Other than being annoying, there was nothing special about them.
Of course, anti-aircraft cannons would not be able to hit a mosquito.
In the entire command room, only Fangzheng was still observing the mosquitoes flying around. Everyone else had their attention on the satellite in front of them.
The Empire's fighter jets launched a merciless counterattack against the Resistance Army. Even Desvader personally went into battle — well, to be honest, Fangzheng could not understand what was going on. The Resistance Army only had 30 fighter jets, and the Death Star was such a big fortress. There must be thousands of fighter jets used to defend it. There was no need to send too many. Just a hundred fighter jets would be enough to completely block these guys. Why would Desvader personally take action?
Did he think that it was making a mountain out of a molehill to deal with the Resistance Army by sending so many fighter jets?
While Fangzheng was deep in thought, the aerial battle outside the fortress had reached its final moments. The Rebellion Army only had one fighter left that was still struggling. It quickly passed through the gap in the fortress, while Desvader led two of his subordinates and followed closely behind it.
However, just as Desvader locked onto the fighter jet in front of him, a beam of light descended from the sky and destroyed the fighter jet beside Desvader. Immediately after, the other fighter jet lost its direction and crashed into Desvader's fighter jet. It then crashed into the surface of the fortress. Desvader did not expect his subordinate to be such a lousy teammate. With a moment of carelessness, he was sent flying into the sky.
"Okay, kid, there are no more obstacles. Hurry up and blow up the target. Let's go home!"
"Han!"
Hearing the familiar voice from the headset, Luke, who was sitting in the cockpit, was also excited. He stared at the passage in front of him. At the same time, the mysterious voice rang in Luke's ears again.
"Feel the Force, child. It is with you …"
Got it!
Luke pressed the launch button hard as if he had a stroke of inspiration. Very quickly, two bombs flew out from the X-Fighter and shot forward. If there were no accidents, they would drill into the vertical cooling channel not far ahead and then directly fall into the core of the reactor, completely destroying the entire Death Star.
However …
"Whoosh!!"
Not long after the two bombs drilled into the cooling channel, Luke suddenly saw a flash of blue light in front of him. Then, the two bombs suddenly bounced back and exploded in the air with a bang!
"What's going on?"
Both Luke, who was piloting the fighter jet, and Hanslo, who was piloting the Millennium Falcon, widened their eyes in disbelief. But no matter how much they couldn't accept it, the reality was right in front of them — their plan had failed!
"Retreat! We must retreat immediately, kid!"
"But …"
"No buts. Let's go! We won't be able to leave if we're too late!"
As though to verify Hanslo's words, the enormous cannons on the surface of the Death Star glowed at the same time. Then, four green laser beams shot out abruptly, gathered together, and coalesced into a thick, enormous light beam that blasted at the satellite ahead. Shortly after, the light beam struck the satellite in the distance. In a flash of brilliance, the enormous satellite burst into a pile of fragments like an overinflated balloon.
"No —!!!"
Seeing this, Luke's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He gripped the control stick tightly and let out an unwilling roar. Although he really wanted to turn around and fight to the death with the damn satellite, he eventually regained his senses. He piloted the fighter jet and followed the Millennium Falcon into space before the Empire's fighter jets arrived.
"Oh?"
At that moment, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes. He could sense that before the satellite was blown up, a transport ship had escaped from the satellite, and Princess Leah's soul message was clearly on it.
She managed to escape even under such circumstances. As expected of the protagonist's halo.
At that thought, Fangzheng chuckled, retracted his gaze, and closed his eyes.
Very soon, he saw an old man, an old man wearing a long robe. He stood in the void and looked at him.
"You shouldn't have done that. You're helping the wicked."
The old man opened his mouth and complained in dissatisfaction. However, Fangzheng just snorted coldly.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I need to be criticized like this. I'll say it again, the Tendo Temple is a neutral third party. We've come to this star system to communicate with the legitimate ruling institutions and forces of this star system. We don't need the permission of rats like you who popped out of nowhere. Besides, you tried to kill us just now … Do you think the Tendo Temple is a pushover?!"
At this point, Fangzheng suddenly raised his voice. The Force of the entire universe seemed to surge at this moment.
"Listen, you're just a bunch of rebels, a bunch of rats in a hole. You have no right to criticize or protest how the Tendo Temple does things. I'll let you go this time, but if you dare to challenge my bottom line again, I'll let you know … what true destruction is!"
Fangzheng stared coldly at the old man in front of him. The next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The bright red earth shrouded everything as endless swarms of zerglings roared. Their screams covered the earth and sky, tearing everything in front of them into pieces. This scene caused the old man's expression to change. When the Zerglings charged at him, he couldn't help but raise his hand to block in front of him.
The next moment, the illusion shattered.
"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you've turned into Force, Master Obi-Wan."
Fangzheng raised his right hand, and a small flame appeared on his fingertip.
"I will use my own eyes to see, investigate, and research what kind of force and organization the Milky Way Empire is. I will use my own eyes to see, investigate, and research what kind of force and organization the Milky Way Empire is.
Do you understand what I mean? "
"…" The old man stared at the flame on Fangzheng's fingertip. After a moment of silence, he turned around and disappeared into the boundless void.
"Hmph."
Seeing the old man disappear, Fangzheng snorted and put down the flame in his hand. He had always looked down on the rebel army in Star Wars. In Fangzheng's opinion, they were just a motley crew. They had no beliefs, no beliefs, no organizational ability, nothing. They only shouted illusory slogans to vent their anger and dissatisfaction. Most importantly, the rebel army was originally a rebel organization formed by a group of "non-humans" who were oppressed by the Milky Way Empire.
In Fangzheng's opinion, this was not a problem. Any large country needed to be ruled by the main ethnic group and race. As a person who believed in humans first, of course, he stood on the side of humans. The Milky Way Empire's attack on the non-human race was to stabilize the dominance of humans. Fangzheng had no complaints about this. If he were in Palpatine's shoes, he would have done the same thing. Of course, he might have done it more gently, but in terms of basic principles, Fangzheng and Palpatine had a lot in common.
But what about the rebel army?
There were all sorts of people!
The non-human race who were persecuted could still be understood. At least at this time, the purpose of the rebel army was very clear. But later, with the addition of other forces, the purpose of the rebel army began to become more and more unclear. The Jedi Knights tried to overthrow the Empire and restore the Republic through the rebel army. To put it bluntly, it was another opportunistic act by the political losers. And the participation of the smugglers and the poor people of the lower class made the rebel army even more disorganized.
The smugglers naturally desired to weaken the Empire in order to gain relative independent status, power, and benefits. And the poor people simply wanted to live a good life. The non-humans were trying to improve their status, at least to achieve racial equality. The goal of the Jedi Knights was to defeat the Empire and restore the Republic.
Look, it was a mess.
If not for the fact that they had a common enemy, the Milky Way Empire, and that the Milky Way Empire was strong enough to suppress them, forcing them to work together, the rebel army would not have been able to hold on for long.
So in Fangzheng's opinion, the rebel army was completely incompatible with him. He had no interest in listening to the fleeing Jedi Knights cry about the tyranny of the Empire. Politics itself was such a thing. Didn't you plant Anakin as a spy by Palpatine's side? Now that you can't win, you're crying that the other party is too cruel. Are your brains broken?
Palpatine was able to turn the Jedi Temple upside down because he had the ability. You Jedi Knights have been in the Republic for thousands of years. You can't suddenly become pure, harmless, and ignorant little sheep, can you? You're not strong enough, you're not capable enough, and your vision is not good enough. You deserve to be tricked by others, don't you? Who are you trying to show off your identity as a victim?
Fangzheng hated the separatists in the rebel army. As a supporter of unification, he was very unhappy with any form of division. Fangzheng naturally looked down on these guys in the rebel army who pretended to be independent in the name of freedom.
As for those aliens who were oppressed?
Oh, we deeply sympathize with and regret for their suffering ….
"Mr. Fangzheng."
Fangzheng opened his eyes and saw Administrator Takin standing in front of him. He was smiling as well.
He smiled and said, "I've seen the strength of the Milky Way Empire. It is indeed extraordinary."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Fangzheng. We have now completely destroyed the rebel base. This is a very worthy victory for the great Milky Way Empire."
Administrator Takin was indeed very excited. In any case, this plan was put forward by Desvader, and Administrator Takin himself was under a lot of pressure. After all, if the plan failed, his political career would come to an end. Fortunately … everything went smoothly.
"Thank you for showing me such a good show. I'm going to Coruscant now."
"That's great."
Hearing this, Administrator Tarkin also revealed a smile.
"His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy to meet you."
