"No need for passion, calm the mind … Do not follow ignorance, follow the truth … Do not fall into lust, remain calm … Though there is chaos, there is still peace … There is no destruction, only the Force …" At the core engine of the Venom Fang battleship, the Jedi Master Ei-Koth chanted the creed of the Jedi Knight loudly while barely holding on under the attack of hundreds of Destroyer robots.
Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a slender humanoid mech with four limbs appeared on the battlefield. A dazzling light blue particle beam shot out from the tip of its arm! The already exhausted Ei-Koth was instantly hit, and a large hole was burned through his chest! But even so, his body was still standing, facing the hyperspace engine of the Venom Fang, and persistently took the last step!
Tang Yu walked down from the AT-10 mech, and all the robots around him immediately ceased fire. He slowly walked in front of Ei-Koth, and looked at him coldly.
"… There is no … destruction … only … the … Force …" Ei-Koth was still chanting, but his life had already passed away.
Tang Yu looked at his body that was still kneeling on one knee, waved his hand and said, "Clean up his body first, then put it in a crystal coffin and send it to Coruscant. This is what he deserves. "
General Grievous, who had been watching the battle from the side, walked up and said, "The Republic's fighter jets have retreated, and we can now use the hyperspace engine." His tone actually sounded like he was letting Tang Yu make the decision!
Tang Yu nodded and said, "Let's go, retreat!"
"And … this person, how should we deal with him?" General Grievous waved his hand, and a group of robots next to him escorted a person, and a robot walked over. It was the Jedi Master Pulo Kong and Anakin Skywalker's space robots, R-2/D-2!!
"I still have use for the robots. As for Master Pulo Kong, leave him to Count Dooku to deal with," Tang Yu replied.
"Your atrocities will not make me yield." Pulo Kong looked at Ei-Koth's body in front of him, but his tone did not change much. His masked face did not show much of an expression, and he only spoke calmly.
The fighter jet he was piloting was hit by the electromagnetic pulse cannon, and the fighter jet was immediately paralyzed. Trapped in the flying coffin, Plok cut open the cockpit and escaped. Under the protection of the Force, a Jedi could still survive in the vacuum of the universe for a while. Unfortunately, due to the absence of his command, the fighter fleet he led was in chaos. Some wanted to continue attacking Poison Fang, some wanted to search for Plo Kong, and some wanted to provide support in other directions. The result of this was that they fought for themselves and were quickly scattered by the Vulture mecha that destroyed Kitt Festow and Ace Koth's fleet.
The isolated and helpless Procon became a captive just like that.
Tang Yu glanced at him and said with a smile, "I don't need your submission. In fact, we don't need your consent to play a role in this. As a member of the Twelve Jedi Council, I look forward to the storm that will be stirred when the news of Plo Kong's capture and Ace Koth's death reaches the Republic. "
With that, he nodded at General Grievous, and then swaggered off.
Following Grievous's order, the Venom Fang Battleship fired its electromagnetic pulse cannons at the four Hunter-class cruisers that were hot on their heels, paralyzing two of them once more. After pulling away from them, the battleship activated its hyperspace engine and disappeared into space.
…
Tang Yu and General Grievous stayed alone in the conference room for a long time. No one knew what they were talking about. But after they came out, there was a hint of tacit understanding in their eyes.
After the Poison Fang battleship escaped, it first went to a planet in the Hutt Dimension that secretly supported the Independent Star System Confederation and hid there to complete its supplies and initial repairs. And here, Tang Yu would wait for further instructions from Count Dooku.
This time, the Republic's encirclement and annihilation of the Poison Fang was a complete failure. Even 20 hunter-class cruisers could not stop this invincible warship. In this encirclement and annihilation, the Republic lost 18 hunter-class cruisers, but it was not really a loss. After replacing their electronic components, they could immediately continue fighting, but it would still take a few months. It could be considered as a disguised reduction in the Republic's mobile forces. The losses of the transport fleet as bait were not too great. Because the encirclement and annihilation fleet arrived in time, the Poison Fang only had time to destroy a third of the transport ships.
Of the 1500 fighter jets that went into battle, more than 500 pilots were rescued, and more than 300 fighter jets could be repaired. On the surface, compared to the battle record of heavily damaging the Poison Fang, the losses were considered minor, but in reality, that was not the case.
The news of two members of the Supreme Jedi Council, Ace Koth's death and Plo Kong's capture shocked the entire upper echelons of the Galactic Republic. Because among the four Jedi who participated in the encirclement and annihilation, not only were there two members of the Jedi Council, there was also a peerless genius like Anakin Skywalker, and Kitt Festus was definitely not mediocre. But the opponent had the ability to defeat such a combination!
After this battle, the Jedi Knights had no choice but to once again discuss the strength of the Independent Star Confederation and the role that the Jedi Knights should play in the war.
Anakin Skywalker, who had returned to Coruscant, reported the battle process to Chairman Palpatine and the leader of the Jedi Knights, Mace Windu, and returned to the battlefield as soon as possible. He wanted to use his actions to wash away the shame of repeatedly losing to the Guardian Planet!
On the other hand, Count Dooku was very happy with the results of this battle. He sent the Poison Fang battleship to the Parmant shipyard built by the Quarren for maintenance, and gave him the next step of the plan.
General Grievous returned to Laskers 4 and prepared for the next step of the battle. In fact, with his commanding ability, there was no need for him to spend all his time on the Poison Fang. Commanding a large army in battle was his main job. And Tang Yu was directly appointed as the captain of the Poison Fang battleship by Count Dooku!
This was an appointment that surprised Tang Yu, because it was equivalent to handing the Poison Fang directly to him, and he could freely decide the battle strategy and plans of the Poison Fang! But then he was overjoyed. Although the Poison Fang would need at least a year of maintenance in its current condition, there was no reason for him to spit out this fat piece of meat that was already in his mouth!
More importantly, the meaning behind this appointment!!
From the last communication between Darth Sidious and himself, he would definitely choose to shift the blame to Tang Yu or General Grievous in order to prevent his hidden agenda from being exposed. And from his performance in the battle against the Guardian Planet, it was more likely that he would throw the blame to Tang Yu.
But Count Dooku had directly determined this battle as a victory. Since it was a victory, what was needed was not blame or punishment, but a reward! The position of captain of the Poison Fang was a reward for Tang Yu! But this decision was contrary to Darth Sidious' intentions!
