2230. The Return of the Poison Fang.
The Quarren retreated from Mon Carra City, but before they retreated, they continued to spread all sorts of rumors, pushing all the blame for the war onto the Republic and claiming that it was the Republic who had assassinated the former king of Mon Carra Mali. After leaving Mon Carra City and returning to Quarren City, Nosol did not stop his propaganda. He called on the masses of Mon Carra Mali people to rise up and resist the tyranny of the Republic.
However, the Republic did not remain idle. After recovering Mon Carra City, Prince Lee Char made a public appearance and officially announced his succession as the king of Mon Carra Mali. However, Nosol also argued that the Quarren did not recognize Lee Char as the king. He said that the king of Mon Carra Mali must be recognized by both the Mon Carra Mali people and the Quarren to be legitimate. However, he did not choose a new king from the Quarren, leaving room for negotiation.
In addition, under the leadership of General Nobrey, the Republic army began to prepare for the attack on Quarren City. They began to ask the Mon Carra Mali people to build more deep-water submarines for them and to enlist the Mon Carra Mali people into the army, preparing to expand their army to 150,000 soldiers. In addition, in the subsequent shipment of supplies, the Republic also sent over a large number of deep-diving equipment that would allow the Gungans to dive deep into the sea.
While the Republic was busy preparing for war, the Quarren were eerily quiet. Apart from Chieftain Nothor's daily insults, there were no further movements. Moreover, Quarren City was an environment that was easy to defend and hard to attack. It seemed that if the enemy did not move, they would not move.
Finally, a week after the recovery of Mon Carra City, the Republic's clone army, the Gungans, and the Mon Carra Mali people launched an all-out attack on Quarren City! The total number of soldiers was as high as 150,000!
A fierce battle immediately unfolded in the deep sea. The Quarren relied on their advantage in the deep sea, with the brave and skillful Quarren soldiers, underwater robots and medusa jellyfish as the core to resist to the death, and actually succeeded in restraining the Republic's offensive! In fact, in the Republic army, the Gungans' combat strength was very average, and the Mong Carra Mali's fighting spirit was also a problem. Their commander, Captain Gill Ackbar, had not spoken a single word in a military conference ever since they recovered Mong Carra City.
On the other hand, a battle had broken out in Quarren City. In order to protect their homeland, the Quarren had erupted with a strong will to fight. Even though the Republic's army was at least five times the Quarren's, the battle had still entered a stalemate.
Just as the battle at the bottom of the sea was in full swing, the seemingly calm outer space of Planet Carra suddenly changed. Here, the Republic's 10 Hunter-class cruisers were arranged in a defensive formation, guarding the endless stream of transport ships that were landing on the planet.
Watching the last transport ship leave, the Republic's admiral on the flagship rubbed his eyes and asked the staff officer next to him, "Any movements from the Separatists?"
The staff officer pulled out a holographic screen and tapped on it a few times. "Not yet. There aren't many movements in the 100 or so numbered Separatist warzones. Among them, the fleets of the 20 or so warzones with fleets have all appeared. They're concentrating on attacking the neutral alliance."
"What about the fleet protecting the planet?" the admiral asked.
"They're currently resting after taking down Taris and haven't made any further moves. It seems like they're preparing for a big battle," the staff officer replied.
"Monitor their movements closely. Inform me immediately if there's any change!" The admiral frowned. If there was any change in the Republic's current strategy, it would be that they were placing more emphasis on protecting the planet than before. After all, the Republic had suffered a lot in the hands of this planet.
"Wait a minute!" The staff officer suddenly pressed the communicator on his ear and entered a series of data on the holographic screen. The information on the screen changed again. "General Skywalker's 501st Independent Army has just defeated Asaji-Ventress' fleet and is now engaged in a fierce battle with General Grievous' fleet that's rushing over to support them. Several Separatist fleets in the vicinity are getting restless and want to go over to support them!"
The admiral heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good too. In a large-scale battle, the Separatist fleet is definitely no match for us. It'd be great if all of them gathered together. Also, at least no one would care about us. Now that the underwater forces have started attacking Quarren City, let's end this as soon as possible. "
"General! Hyperspace jump detected!! "The radar soldier suddenly turned around and shouted.
The admiral was shocked. "How many are there?"
"It's a large warship! The number … Uh, only one …? "The radar soldier looked at the reading on the screen and couldn't believe his eyes.
The admiral let out a long sigh of relief and patted the shoulder of the radar soldier. "Only one. It's probably a lone warship that's coming to harass us. None of the Separatist fleets are in the vicinity … Get ready for battle! Get rid of this lone battleship for me! "
As soon as he finished, he suddenly muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, a battleship …" Suddenly, his face turned as white as a sheet. He grabbed the staff officer and yelled, "Quick! Quick! All warships disperse! All disperse! "
But it was too late. In the space in front of them, a dazzling light suddenly flashed, followed by the appearance of an incomparably huge figure! It was dark blue in color, and its bow was round and sharp like a bird's beak. There was a huge disc-shaped device on each side. The size of this warship was so huge that the 1137-meter long Hunter Class Cruiser was like an insignificant child in front of it!
"Venom Fang! It's the Venom Fang Battleship! "The radar soldier screamed.
"Open fire! Open fire! Open fire! "
"Turn around and disperse! It's equipped with electromagnetic pulse cannons! "
All kinds of orders came in one after another, but at this time, the Venom Fang Battleship had already begun to turn. With the help of its powerful steering engine, the warship quickly turned around and faced the Republic fleet. At the same time, the disc-shaped device on one side began to condense a powerful electric light!
At this time, the 10 Hunter Class Cruisers of the Republic were still maintaining a relatively dense defensive formation!
At the same time, the Venom Fang Battleship suddenly shook. The disc-shaped device with a diameter of over 1000 meters shot out a terrifying electric ball that rapidly expanded. In less than a minute, it had expanded to a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers!
