2172 Son of the Force
Boom!! A LAAT gunship was hit by a laser beam in mid-air. It disintegrated and exploded in mid-air. However, more than half of the heavily armored clone soldiers in the gunship survived the explosion. They directly jumped down from mid-air. With the buffering effect of the mechanized exoskeleton, they only rolled on the ground before standing up again and continuing to move forward.
Under the cover of a large number of V-wing fighter jets and Lore-class assault landing ships, the LAAT low-altitude support gunships forcibly landed. A large number of 501st Independent Army clone soldiers in black armor and mechanized exoskeletons began to quickly advance toward the robot factory.
After completing the first round of bombardment, the Lore-class assault landing ship also began to land on the ground. The hatch opened, and the well-equipped armored troops immediately rushed out! The TX-130 main battle tank advanced at high speed, while the AT-TE all-terrain tactical assault walking ship advanced with firm footsteps. The heavy turbolaser cannon on its back continued to fire! The AT-ST all-terrain tactical reconnaissance walking ship cooperated with the infantry troops as they advanced, providing them with firepower guidance.
Planet Haipori had just experienced a battle, which was the failed surprise attack organized by Master Ghi-Adi-Mundi. Therefore, the combat readiness level on the planet was still very high. In the robot factories built by the Geonosians, a large number of newly produced B-1 and B-2 super combat robots were transported out of the warehouse. At the same time, in the battle command center of the Yu City Palace on Planet Guardian, the alarm went off. Remi, who was brought to the world of Star Wars by Tang Yu as the overall strategic management AI, immediately issued a landing order to the Sacred Mountain!
300,000 Mechanical Lives instantly descended their data onto the robots on Planet Haipori through the Road of Sublimation network! These B-1 and B-2 robots stood up one after another, slightly tidied up their weapons and equipment, and immediately marched forward in an orderly manner!
There was also a large number of 1.5-meter-tall four-legged short spider robots with an explosive laser cannon installed on their hemispherical heads, which looked like the mouthparts of mosquitoes. These short spider robots climbed up the surrounding cliffs and kept firing. A huge homing spider robot about eight meters tall with a ball-shaped body trailed behind. Its disc-shaped laser launcher fired destructive laser beams at any time, sweeping the battlefield. The Firestorm robot with huge metal wheels on both sides fired countless missiles from the missile launcher on its body!
The powerful military forces of both sides collided violently! Then, the side with more people was smashed like an egg! The 501st Independent Army's clone soldiers equipped with the mechanized kinetic skeletons were the most efficient, ruthless, and terrifying battle machines on the battlefield! It was even scarier than machines!
Because every clone warrior had the template of Jango Fett! The best bounty hunter in the entire Milky Way! How many people were there in the Milky Way? Perhaps even a trillion was just a basic unit! And there was only one Jango Fett! Whether it was innate talent or acquired comprehension, they were all top-notch!
But now, after the Republic spared no expense to equip them with heavy armor and mechanized exoskeletons, the combat power they displayed was far beyond imagination!
Not to mention, at the forefront of the clone army's attack, there was an agile figure, Anakin Skywalker! He was wearing a brown Jedi short robe and wielding a blue lightsaber. His elegant hair fluttered in the wind, but there was a hint of hostility on his handsome face. Even in the face of the hundreds of thousands of robot army on Planet Hypori, he still charged at the forefront, pointing the way for the 501st Independent Army's clone warriors!
The lightsaber danced at high speed, forming an impenetrable light screen in front of him. The dense energy beams in front of him were all reflected back by him! With a sudden acceleration, the Force around him was like a glider, lifting him into the air. In an instant, he crossed the distance of tens of meters and arrived in front of the robot army! The lightsaber slashed down mercilessly, and the surrounding robots were cut into pieces in an instant!
Next, a homing spider robot next to him fired a disc-shaped laser cannon at him. Anakin had expected this. The lightsaber had already blocked the path of the laser beam. Under the effect of his powerful Force, the powerful laser beam was deflected and swept across the battlefield! In an instant, more than ten robots were destroyed. Then, the laser beam landed squarely on another homing spider robot! The shield was immediately pierced through, and then it exploded into pieces in a violent explosion! Anakin's golden lightsaber flashed, and with light footsteps, he arrived under the homing spider robot. With a few slashes, he chopped off the robot's four legs. Then, without looking back, he slashed with his lightsaber! The huge robot fell, and the core of its head was right in front of Anakin's lightsaber. The lightsaber pierced through it!
More robots gathered in front, trying to block the gap in the line of defense that Anakin had broken through. However, Anakin raised his hand and waved. A large number of robot wreckage and rubble were instantly swept back by the powerful Force. Like a cannonball, the robots in front of him were sent flying! Seizing this opportunity, the clone soldiers behind him roared and charged forward! In front of his powerful Force, whether it was an ordinary robot or a mechanical life, there was no difference!
Anakin Skywalker stared at the robot factory in front of him. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Tang Yu … Planet Protector … Just you wait, this is just the beginning!"
…
While the war at the frontlines was in full swing, the Galactic Republic was also in an intense struggle. Senator Padmé Amidala of Planet Naboo, who had always advocated for peace, constantly used her political influence to carry out her activities. She had won over a large number of senators and was preparing to propose a bill to limit military expenditure and control the scale of war. Including Senator Farr of Planet Rodia, many planets also supported the endless expansion of war and the increase of tax burden.
This bill naturally met with hostility from the senators who supported the war, and Senator Mi-Dic of Planet Umbara was one of them.
Then, things took a dramatic turn. Senator Farr was suddenly poisoned to death, and the dark cloud of death began to envelop the Galactic Congress. Initially, most people suspected that it was Mi-Dic's doing to force Padmé Amidala's side to give up on the proposal to reduce military expenditure. However, immediately after that, Senator Mi-Dic was also killed.
Finally, under Padmé's investigation, the murderer was finally caught. It was a representative of Planet Rodia like Senator Farr, Lolo Paz. She secretly supported the Independent Star Confederation, insisting that the Republic was unable to protect Planet Rodia, so she killed Senator Farr, who was firmly on the Republic's side.
This murder finally caused the already unstable Planet Rodia to immediately lean towards the Independent Star Confederation. This was because, unlike the original plot, the war in the Confederation was much smoother, and Planet Rodia was more inclined towards the Confederation, be it in terms of geography or politics. In fact, during the last food crisis, if not for Newt Gunray's insatiable greed to extort Planet Rodia, which was already so poor that they could not even afford to wear their pants, they would have joined the Confederation long ago. This murder was only the trigger.
What was even more amusing was that once Senator Mi-Dic, who was deeply trusted by Chairman Palpatine and was also a staunch supporter of the Republic, died, Planet Umbara turned around and announced that it was leaving the Republic and joining the Independent Star Confederation. The speed of the action and the decisiveness of the change was completely unexpected even by Palpatine.
Thus, halfway through their journey, the mission of General Grievous's fleet changed from an invasion battle to a defensive battle.
When the news came, even Tang Yu, who was familiar with the plot, was full of admiration for Count Dooku's methods! There was no doubt that the two targets chosen this time, Planet Mulkana and Planet Umbara, had been carefully thought out and prepared! Sometimes, politics was really more efficient than war!
