Peacock's crisis management was effective to a certain extent. The Mong Carra Malians held captive in the concentration camp had calmed down quite a bit, and the uprising that had been brewing behind the scenes had also been put to an end. At that time, the loosening of control over these people had caused another problem. Many of the Mong Carra Malians took the opportunity to escape and join the active Rebel forces outside.
Prince Lee Char still showed himself, but he did not come out to surrender. Instead, he publicly declared that he would fight the Quarren to the end, and even accused them of colluding with the Separatists and interfering with the internal affairs of Mong Carra Malians. Peacock immediately ordered the Quarren army to move out, and with the help of the underwater robots from the Confederation, they surrounded the Mong Carra Malian Rebel forces.
On the battlefield, the Quarren once again proved that they were stronger underwater warriors than the Mong Carra Malians. The scattered Rebel forces were completely routed. If not for the organization of Jedi Master Kitt Festow and Guard Captain Gil Akbar, their resistance would have collapsed long ago.
After that, Peacock made an unexpected decision. She ordered the release of all the Mong Carra Malians who had been temporarily held captive, allowing them to return to their homes. She also ordered the Quarren soldiers to maintain order on the streets. At the same time, she had Chief Nothor publicly declare that he wanted to negotiate with Prince Lee Char to find the best solution. This request for negotiation was a joke to Prince Lee Char, but it was a perfect timing. Not long after the order in Mong Carra Malians was restored, the Galactic Republic's reinforcements arrived!
Tamson, who was watching from the command center, said to Peacock mockingly, "This is how you command? You're handing over the spoils of war? Let's see how you're going to explain this to Count Dooku!! "
Peacock only smiled faintly and did not say anything. She already knew how they were going to fight this battle.
The Republic would not give up on this opportunity to completely occupy planet Carra. In this regard, they were no different from the Independent Star System Confederation. In the original plot of the Battle of Mon Carra, the Quarren and the Confederation of Independent Systems had actually achieved a military victory, but because of the persecution and massacre of civilians, they lost the hearts of the people. As a result, the Quarren and the Mon Carra Malians reunited, expelled the Confederation, and joined the Republic.
Therefore, for this battle, the key was not how to fight on the battlefield, but how to win over the hearts of the people. At the very least, they had to make sure that they did not lose the hearts of the people. What Peacock wanted to do was to turn the Republic into an invader!
After the Chinese reinforcements arrived, they immediately launched an attack on Carra City! Fighting alongside the Republic's clone soldiers was another aquatic race — the Gungans from Planet Naboo! They were also a relatively powerful aquatic race in the Milky Way. This time, the Republic enlisted the Gungans as an army to minimize the weakness of the clone soldiers in underwater combat.
The defensive line set up by the Quarren and the Confederation's underwater robots on the outskirts of the city was quickly broken through, and the battle began to spread into the city. However, at this time, something disharmonious happened! After the clone soldiers and Gungans invaded the city, they began to burn and loot the Mon Carra Malians. They drove the civilians out of their homes and left them to fend for themselves on the battlefield, then transformed their homes into fortresses.
On the other hand, while the Quarren soldiers and the Confederation's underwater robots resisted the attack of the Republic, they did not offend the civilians in the city at all. Moreover, Chief Nothor kept giving speeches, saying that this was the internal affairs of Mon Carra Malians and that the Republic's interference was an unreasonable act of aggression.
Coupled with the burning and looting of the clone soldiers and Gungans, the voices of opposition against the Republic gradually increased. At this time, when they looked at the Quarren who had just occupied their city, they suddenly did not hate them so much.
In one of the residences in Mon Cala City, the door was suddenly kicked open, and several clone soldiers rushed in. They violently smashed everything in the residences, dragging the furniture to the windows to use as cover. The few Mon Calamari citizens who were originally living in the residences could only tremble helplessly.
At that moment, a group of Quarren soldiers rushed in like a divine army from the heavens. They shielded the Mon Calamari tribesmen behind them and engaged the clone soldiers in a fierce exchange of fire. Seeing that the situation was not in their favor, the clone soldiers jumped out of the window and fled. After comforting the civilians for a while, the Quarren soldiers even helped them move the scattered furniture back to its original position, then left very politely.
But what no one saw was that after the clone soldiers ran into a dark corner and made sure that no one was watching, they looked at each other, then twisted their bodies and turned into a few silver-grey metallic humanoid silhouettes. After that, they squirmed again and turned into Gungans. They left from the other side, looking for their next target to destroy!
T-1000 Terminators!!
The battle continued in a very strange manner. Even though the Mon Carra Malian Rebel forces had received assistance from the Republic, with clone soldiers and Gungans joining the battle, the Quarren had been preparing for this battle for too long. They had as many as 200,000 underwater robots! Therefore, although the Mon Carra Malians who supported Prince Lee-Charles still occupied the majority, they still did not have the ability to recapture Mon Carra City.
In the command center, Peacock ordered Tamson's handcuffs to be unlocked. He said indifferently, "You could have easily resolved this civil war and returned to Lasax with glory. But you're stupid enough to think that you can solve the problem through killing! That's why Count Dooku sent me here. The outcome of this civil war must be resolved at the negotiation table, otherwise it's meaningless. "
She turned on the video and played the performance of the T-1000 Terminator, then pointed to the screen and said, "Things weren't that complicated. Even though the King of Mon Carra has always been a Mon Carra Malian, the Quarren are still the ones who have the right to speak on this planet. It's not without reason. Now, you still have a chance. The hostility of the people towards us has decreased a lot. It's time to completely defeat the Republic army! I remember that you brought a secret weapon, right? "
Tamson rubbed his wrist and glared at Peacock, but after comparing the difference in strength between the two sides, he wisely did not argue back. He just nodded and said, "Yes, I brought 1,000 medusa jellyfish from my planet. They're enough to destroy the Republic army!"
Peacock smiled, "Then go and make amends for your mistakes."
…
The next day, on the battlefield in Mon Carra City, a large number of strange jellyfish suddenly appeared! The jellyfish's round cap was more than 20 meters in diameter, and there were yellow electric lights flashing inside. They also had more than a dozen slender tentacles that were about 60 to 70 meters long!
These jellyfish rushed forward against the Republic army's firepower, so they were naturally targeted. But something terrible happened! Be it torpedoes or energy beams, all the attacks were completely ineffective on the jellyfish! Their bodies were extremely soft. Even though they were torn into strange shapes by the powerful force of the explosion, they quickly recovered from the shock wave of the explosion. Energy attacks like energy beams were like clay oxen entering the sea. There was no reaction at all!
When these jellyfish approached the Republic's underwater troops, they began to stretch out their tentacles and wrapped them around the soldiers and submarines. Then, a terrifying high-voltage electric shock was released. Nothing could survive such a powerful electric shock! The soldiers were instantly electrocuted, and the submarines were short-circuited, turning into scrap metal at the bottom of the sea.
Of course, these jellyfish were not invincible. When they were hit by countless attacks that exceeded their endurance limit, they would still be killed. However, they only lost less than 20 jellyfish when they forced the Republic army to retreat far away from Mon Carra City! This terrifying half-creature, half-machine weapon was actually so terrifying!
Peacock, who was watching the battle from the command center, suddenly turned to Tamson and asked, "Are you selling these jellyfish?"
