"Come back immediately! Don't stay in Lhasa! "Tang Yu yelled at Emma.
"Alright, I'll be right back." Emma also felt that something was wrong with Tang Yu's tone and immediately replied, but her communication was cut off!
Tang Yu was shocked, and then a wave of anger rose from his heart. If Count Dooku really dared to lay a hand on Emma, then it would be a life-and-death struggle! Forget about the Galactic Republic, do you think I don't know what's going on in the Independent Star Confederation? If I don't make a mess out of you, I'll change my surname to Du!
He immediately connected to Count Dooku and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do you know? Why are you so sure that Sidious wants to kill Emma Frost? "Count Dooku asked.
"If Emma loses a single hair, you know what will happen." Tang Yu's tone was calm, but it was filled with endless anger.
"Perhaps you have your own understanding of this war, but believe me, no matter what you know, the truth behind it is definitely more complicated than that," Count Dooku said.
"So what do you plan to do? Sacrificing Emma to Darth Sidious to satisfy his ambition, and in the end, you and yourself will be thrown away like trash? "Tang Yu mocked.
"Emma is under my protection for now, but she can't show herself again. Otherwise, Sidious will sense that she's still alive. Other than that, I hope you don't do anything else, "Count Dooku replied.
Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This war is far from being as optimistic as it appears to be, unless you really plan to let the scum of the Trade Federation take control of the Independent Star Confederation and even the entire Milky Way Galaxy's economic system. I know more than you think, so if you want to give your High Lord an answer, make a move against these business giants. This pain will also cause the Confederation to pause, and the Republic will also have some time to breathe. "
"You don't have to worry about these things. Go deal with Anakin's fleet first. After that, you stay on Planet Guardian. Don't go anywhere else," Count Dooku said calmly.
After ending the call, Tang Yu smiled coldly. What was this? Have they driven me out of the political center of the Confederacy? He turned around. On the loading dock, the three khaki Sentinel Robots MK-H were walking step by step towards the Battleship's hangar. Looking at this secret weapon, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
…
Meanwhile, on Umbara.
Pang Crell was standing in front of several corpses wearing white battle armor exclusive to clone soldiers. He pointed at the corpses and said, "Are you sure the serial numbers of these corpses don't match?"
"Yes, we've compared the nameplates of their soldiers, but we didn't find the corresponding number in the database," the clone commander replied.
Crell snorted and said, "Are your clones' brains made of paste? Why don't you take off their helmets and take a look?! "
"I'm sorry, General. That's exactly what we were planning to do." The commander replied with his head lowered. With a wave of his hand, a few soldiers walked up and removed the helmets from the corpses. Underneath the helmets, there were a few pale faces with prominent cheekbones.
"It's the Ambarans!" the clone soldier exclaimed.
Pang Crell pondered for a long time before saying, "It seems like these Ambarans are plotting something. Be careful. Maybe they'll disguise themselves as our people and launch a sneak attack! Next, we'll adjust our marching route. There's a power plant southwest of Umbara's capital. We'll attack that direction first. I'll contact Master Sastien immediately and tell them to avoid that power plant. "
"Yes, General." The clone commander nodded and turned around to arrange for his subordinates to adjust their attack route.
Pang Crell found a secluded place and turned on the communicator. The holographic image of the horned Jedi Master Sastien appeared on the communicator. Crell said in a deep voice, "We've discovered a group of Ambarans trying to disguise themselves as our clone soldiers and launch a sneak attack on us. You need to be very careful. It seems like the Ambarans have replicated a batch of clone battle armor."
"Thank you for your reminder, Master Crell," Sastien nodded and said.
"I think the Ambarans have most likely found out about our attack route in advance. I suggest we adjust our marching route." Pang Crell looked around as if nothing had happened. The clone soldiers could not hear what he said, but they could see that he was talking to Sastien. Naturally, they did not suspect anything. He said, "We'll turn and attack the defense line southeast of Umbara's capital. I'll leave the power plant southwest to you."
"No problem. We'll attack the power plant southwest of Umbara's capital!" Sastien agreed readily.
Pang Crell's lips curled into a sinister smile as he turned off the communicator.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Obi-Wan Kenobi had already received the news of the Republic's defeat on Planet Murkana. He immediately informed the other two Jedi Masters.
"You're saying that our army suffered a crushing defeat on Planet Murkana?!" Sastien exclaimed.
"An unprecedented crushing defeat …" Obi-Wan Kenobi's expression was solemn. "We lost at least a hundred thousand clone soldiers and more than a hundred warships there!"
"How is that possible?!" Sastien jumped to his feet. "If this is true, the Republic will not even be able to protect the Central Sector, let alone the Outer Sector! We need to retreat immediately! If the Separatists' fleet on Planet Murkana arrives, we'll be doomed! "
Pang Crell rubbed his chin, his expression changing constantly. He was obviously thinking about a lot of things. After a while, he said, "I suggest we launch at least one attack on Umbara's capital! It was not easy for us to get here. Are we going to fail at the last step? The Separatists' fleet will need at least a few days to get here. Even if they can really destroy more than a hundred of our warships, they must have paid a heavy price! If we give up just like that, how can we face our fallen soldiers? "
Obi-Wan Kenobi was obviously conflicted. He held his forehead and fell into deep thought.
Sastien nodded and said, "I also agree with Master Crell's suggestion! We should launch an attack! If we can take down Umbara's capital before the Separatists' reinforcements arrive, then we can definitely turn the situation around! "
Obi-Wan could only nod in agreement. However, he still reminded, "We can launch an attack, but we must also be fully prepared to retreat at any time, in case the situation changes."
Turning off the communicator, Obi-Wan Kenobi looked worriedly at the clone commander standing beside him. He was also the chief commander of the 212 Attack Group, CT-2224 'Cody'.
Sensing Obi-Wan's gaze, Cody asked, "Is there a problem, General?" "I hope there's something wrong with my senses.
"I hope it's just my intuition. I feel that Master Crell doesn't want to retreat... You know, although he has won a lot of victories, he's not a valiant warrior. Also … I seem to feel a trace of the power of the dark side … "Obi-Wan said while rubbing his chin.
Cody said, "General Crell is a war hero. Before the war broke out, he had been suppressing rebellions in the Outer Sector for a long time and achieved a series of victories. I think he must have his reasons for saying that. As for the dark side, that is your domain, General Kenobi. "
"Let's hope so, but still send someone to Master Crell and Master Dustin's direction to keep an eye on the situation. If the situation is not good, inform me immediately. Also, we should pack all the resources and prepare for retreat before launching an attack, "Obi-Wan Kenobi said.
"Yes, General!" General! "Cody immediately saluted and replied.
…
Sastien led his army to launch a fierce attack on the power plant on the southwest side of Umbara's capital. The defending army of Umbara fought and retreated, completely unable to resist the incisive attack of the clone soldiers. Soon, they attacked the huge power plant and began to divide their forces to occupy it.
However, at this moment, a fierce wave of firepower suddenly poured in from the front, and a few clone soldiers at the front were instantly knocked to the ground! When they took a closer look, they saw countless soldiers wearing the same white battle armor rushing towards them and firing at them fiercely!
"General! We are under attack! They … they seem to be on our side … "the clone commander said.
Sastien squinted his eyes and looked ahead. In the darkness of Umbara, the situation there was not very clear. He said, "Master Crell warned us that the Umbara might impersonate our people and launch a sneak attack. We must be careful, keep our distance, and don't open fire! Send a small team to scout out the situation! "
"Yes, sir!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Pang Crell encountered the same thing. The clone commander came over and reported, "General Crell! A large number of people wearing the same battle armor as us have appeared here! Should we send a small team to check out the situation first? "
"No need!" Pang Crell waved his hand and said, "The Umbara have fallen into our trap! I used a small trick to expose their true colors! Now, Master Kenobi's troops are at the northwest side of the capital, and Master Dustin's troops are at the west side of the capital. There can't be any allies in this direction, only enemies! Don't hold back, kill them while they are acting! Eliminate this force, and we will be able to open a gap in the Umbara's defense line! "
Crell's clone soldiers immediately rushed forward and fired at the people wearing the same white battle armor on the opposite side! The enemies were caught off guard, and a large number of them were instantly shot down! Following that, the enemies finally began to fight back, and the two sides began to fight fiercely!
"General! They are firing at us! They are trying to attack us! "The clone commander shouted to Sastien.
"That means the other party is an Ambara disguised as one of our own! Return fire immediately! "Sastien pulled out his lightsaber and charged forward.
However, at this moment, a strong figure suddenly descended from the sky, followed by two red lightsabers! Sastien quickly blocked it! He saw a bald, green-skinned woman with strange makeup standing in front of him with two red lightsabers in her hands! He immediately recognized the person. "Asaji Ventress! Sure enough, this was all part of your scheme!
"Hehehehe! You are right! You have fallen into my trap, you useless bull! " Ventress mocked him with her gloomy and hoarse voice. She waved her lightsaber and slashed at him crazily!
At this time, Obi-Wan Kenobi also received a report. "What did you say? Are there two clone armies fighting over there? Impossible! "
"That's what I saw. The two sides are fighting fiercely," the clone soldier said.
Obi-Wan immediately tried to contact Pang Crell, but the call did not go through! Obi-Wan's face darkened, and he quickly contacted Sastien. This time, the call went through, but the holographic image did not appear. Instead, there were sounds of intense fighting coming from the other side. Sastien's panting voice came through. "The Umbara disguised as our troops and tried to ambush us. We are now in a difficult battle! How's the situation on your side? Master Kenobi! "
Obi-Wan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Retreat immediately! Retreat! There might be something wrong with Master Crell! "
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Master Kenobi. What happened?" Sastien asked.
"Cease fire immediately! The troops fighting you are most likely allies! Retreat immediately! I will also give up on the attack plan and move closer to your direction! There's no time to explain, do as I say! "Obi-Wan shouted.
Sastien also felt that the situation was not right. He immediately ordered his troops to retreat, but Ventress did not give up. Sastien instantly became ruthless. He roared and pushed Ventress back. He rushed to the area where the battle was taking place, channeled his Force and shouted, "I am the Jedi Master Sastien! Everyone cease fire and retreat immediately! "
The clone soldiers under Crell quickly stopped firing when they saw this scene. They looked at the enemy in confusion. "What's going on? Didn't they say that they are Umbara disguised as our allies? Why is General Sastien there? "
Seeing this, the clone commander turned pale with fright. He hurriedly ordered all his troops to stop firing. However, they had already suffered heavy casualties! He immediately went to look for Pang Crell, but Crell was nowhere to be found!
"We were tricked! There's something wrong with General Crell! "The clone commander shouted angrily.
