2086, Siege of Kristovsis
Planet Kristovsis. On the crystal-paved road, countless T-2 combat robots switched to four-legged mode and sprinted at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the blasters in their hands were firing with extreme precision. The native army of Planet Kristovsis was retreating step by step. They did not even have tanks. The small number of fighter jets they had were quickly shot down by the Vultures. They could only retreat into the city and rely on the sturdy buildings to defend.
In this invasion, although Planet Guardian had invested T-2 battle robots, Tyrannosaurus tanks, Ceratopus tanks, and Dragon Rider Type IV aircraft, in terms of air combat, they still used the Vulture robot fighter jets provided by the Independent Star System Confederation. This was because both Air Ride Type I and Air Ride Type II had to take off. They could not compare to the all-terrain vertical take-off and landing Vultures that could fly at will.
The heavy body of the T-Rex tank drove through the city. The crystal road was crushed under the pressure of its tracks. The tank's sensor system quickly locked onto the Republic army in a building next to it and immediately began to adjust the turret. After coming to this world, the electromagnetic cannons of the T-Rex tank had all been replaced with powerful turbo laser cannons. Only the chassis of the T-Rex tank, which weighed more than 80 tons, could withstand the heavy firing of the turbo laser cannons.
The turbo laser cannon was not a pure beam weapon. It actually fired plasma gas. Its speed was far inferior to that of a beam, and it could not be fired continuously. However, the fired turbo laser beam was extremely powerful. Moreover, the energy consumption was much lower than traditional laser weapons. The loss in the atmosphere was also much smaller. After the T-Rex tank locked onto the target, the explosive gas was injected into the laser launcher. Immediately after, a powerful red laser beam was fired from the turbo laser cannon!
Boom! With just one shot, a huge hole was blasted into the building. Moreover, the structure around the hole was melted into lava! The Kristovsis soldiers inside had long been vaporized by this shot! A moment later, the load-bearing structure of the building began to collapse. With a loud rumble, the building that was more than ten stories tall collapsed in the middle!
In the sky, the Dragon Rider Type IV aircrafts and the Vultures flew in formation. As soon as they spotted a target, they would immediately pounce down like bloodthirsty beasts. The Dragonrider Mark IV's ion cannon fiercely opened fire. Countless ion blasts smashed down, producing waves of violent explosions. On the other hand, the Kristofsith army lacked effective anti-air firepower. They didn't even have enough missiles and could only rely on blasters. Although the sky seemed to be full of blaster beams being launched, there was almost nothing that could really threaten these aircrafts.
A few missiles were launched into the sky, but only a few managed to hit the spacecraft. Most of them were blocked by the spacecraft's energy shield.
The Milky Way had been peaceful for too long. Too many galaxies had forgotten how to wage war. Many galaxies didn't even have their own standing army. These galaxies that joined the Milky Way Republic were very reliant on the Republic's protection. Once they left the Republic's army, they could only chase away the galactic pirates at most.
Apart from the battleships that the Guardian planet had sent to planet Kristovsis, the folded size of the -2 combat robots was still larger than the B-1 combat robots commonly used by the Trade Federation. Therefore, the Rukelihouk-class battleship that could carry 320,000 B-1 combat robots could only carry 200,000 T-2 combat robots.
However, this army was enough. Under the command of the Independent Star System Confederation's Lieutenant General Worm-Lotham and Cameron Phillips, who was sent as an advisor by Tang Yu, the robot army was like a hot knife through butter. In less than a week, they had captured more than ten cities. The C-9979 transport aircrafts filled with robots soared in the sky like giant dragonflies, but all they brought was death and destruction!
In the capital of Planet Kristofsith, Senator Bell Organa was anxiously shouting at President Palpatine's holographic projection, "President! Kristofsith can't hold on any longer! The Separatists' attack is very fierce. They have already surrounded Topen City yesterday. The largest space port on the planet is there! Once Topen falls, our reinforcements won't be able to land! "
"You must calm down, Senator Organa." President Palpatine's hawk-like nose twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding it in. However, the anxious Organa did not notice this detail. "The Jedi Knights are fighting all over the galaxy, and they are very short on manpower. However, we have completed the formation of the 501st clone army. The commander of the army, Anakin Skywalker, is also on his way. He will lead the Alpha team to meet up with the 501st and break through the Separatists' blockade. They will land on Kristofsith. "
At this time, a violent explosion came from Organa's side, causing him to stagger. He stood up and yelled, "I can't calm down, President! In fact, the Separatists' air force has been flying to Chardonia to bombard us. As soon as Topen falls, they will reach Chardonia's gates within a day! "
Palpatine thought for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Topen now?"
"All of them are the local forces of Kristofsith, about 80,000 of them. However, they are extremely short on heavy weapons and ammunition, and the rations I brought are almost finished! According to the latest battle reports, the Separatists have already occupied the northeast corner of the city with their tanks, and are advancing steadily! "Organa said loudly.
"What a fierce offensive. Do you know who is commanding the Kristofsith Separatist army?" Palpatine asked.
"There are two commanders, one of them is Worm-Lossam. The other seems to be a robot with the appearance of a human female. Its name and model are unknown, only that it is from the Planet Protector. The army they lead is also from the Planet Protector! "Organa replied.
"Planet Protector …" A strange look flashed in Palpatine's eyes. He nodded and said, "Hold on for another three days. Within three days, Anakin Skywalker will be here to support. Also, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has successfully escaped from Planet Jabim. He will also lead his 212th attack group to support in a few days. Planet Kristofsith must not be lost! "
Organa turned off the communication, and looked at a Dragonrider Type 4 flying formation in the distant sky. He let out a long sigh. He was one of the first people in the galaxy to come into contact with the Planet Protector. When he visited the planet, he was immediately captivated by the beautiful natural ecosystem of the planet. The president of the planet, Tang Yu, was also very kind, bringing him around to see the local customs of the planet and treating him to the delicious food of the Planet Protector.
Not only that, although the Planet Protector was a little hesitant about the various requests made by the Republic, they still agreed to them with sincerity. This gave Organa a very good impression of them.
Although Organa had seen a portion of the Planet Protector's military forces, it did not leave a deep impression. He was just a little uncomfortable with their extensive equipment.
Who knew that when the Planet Protector bared its fangs, it would be so terrifying! Organa believed that there were not many planets in the galaxy that had the ability to defend against the 200,000-strong army that landed on Planet Kristofsith! Not long ago, the same army of the Planet Protector had caused the Republic to suffer a terrible defeat on Planet Jabim. Three Jedi Masters and more than 40 Jedi Knights had died there!
The beauty of the Planet Protector and their terrifying army formed a stark contrast. It was this contrast that made Organa feel a wave of fear. He could not help but wonder who it was that dared to assassinate the Chairman when Palpatine visited the Planet Protector, thus forcing them to side with the Separatists.
Could it be … that all of this was premeditated? Organa could not help but think.
