2294 、 Let Everything Go
At the same time that General Grievous's fleet arrived at the Lendili Star System, Peacock suddenly opened her eyes in the controlled Blade Mountain cruiser, and a smile appeared on her lips. At this time, all the attention of the Republic fleet was on General Grievous's fleet, and not many people were paying attention to this battered battleship.
Peacock stood up and went to the bridge to give orders to the mechanical lifeforms controlling the battleship, getting them to drive the battleship to the rear of the battle line. It was more or less a trophy. After that, she walked to the platform of the hangar, randomly found a V-wing battleship that was in good condition, and flew toward the Venom Fang battleship that General Grievous was on.
A moment later, on the bridge of the Venom Fang, General Grievous looked at Peacock and laughed under his metal mask. "Well done, General Peacock! You've successfully let Lendili's idiot fleet stall the Republic for three whole days! Now, all that's left for us is to completely blast these dregs of the Republic into pieces! "
Peacock looked around and said, "Why did you bring the Venom Fang? According to the plan, the Venom Fang should be heading to the Corellia Star System. "
"This is the will of the Fox Immortal. Lendili is more important to us, and we can't afford to lose him! As for the Corellia Star System, 'they' have already agreed to our request, so we still have plenty of strength to spare! "General Grievous said.
Peacock looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "So, you intend to agree to our conditions?"
General Grievous suddenly fell silent. He also looked at Peacock, and turned to look out the window with his hands behind his back. "This war has nothing to do with me in the first place! And because of me, the war between the Kali and Harks has been stopped by the intervention of the Independent Star System Confederation. To me, it's already over. "
"Speaking of Harks … General Trench is also a Hark. They're the enemies of the Kali people. You wouldn't have any thoughts about him, would you?" Peacock said with a smile.
"But I'm no longer a Kali!" General Grievous turned his head and said, then changed the topic, "Let's think about the current battle first!"
"There's nothing much to say. The Republic's battleship's shield system has been heavily damaged. Even if we don't do anything and just open up a distance and engage in a cannon battle, they are definitely not a match for us. However, they have a Jedi Master who has fallen to the dark side. He seems to have become stronger after receiving Palpatine's power. I need to make sure he doesn't run away, "Peacock said.
"I can lend you my Soulless," General Grievous offered.
Peacock waved his hand and said with a smile, "Thanks." With that, he left the bridge and took the internal train to the hangar platform.
…
At the same time, on the battlefield of the Corellia Galaxy.
The Galactic Republic was about to be reorganized into the Galactic Empire, Palpatine was about to proclaim himself emperor, the Jedi Knights were disbanded, Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Corporation publicly announced that they would leave the Republic and join the Independent Star Confederation. A series of explosive news came, and the entire Five Star Alliance was in an uproar!
This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the King's Party, who had rebelled against the King's Party! Before this, Han Solo's public statement had basically denied the legitimacy of the Solo Family's restoration. Now that the Republic had fallen, the pro-Republic organizations like Henchuzuk Family on Selonia were at a loss! More importantly, if the Republic was reorganized into an empire with Palpatine as emperor, what would the Solo Family do after the restoration of the feudal system? Proclaim himself emperor? Or become a prince under Palpatine? None of the options seemed right.
In addition, Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Corporation's rebellion and the disbandment of the Jedi Knights had dealt a heavy blow to the Republic's power. Would the Republic still have the power to protect them?
Many of the King's Party's soldiers and henchmen began to waver. There were many soldiers who directly surrendered on the battlefield, and there were even organized units that surrendered! Even Henchuzuk Family, who firmly supported the Republic and the restoration of the Solo Family, held an emergency meeting to discuss their future strategy after receiving the news.
At this time, an unimaginably large fleet appeared on the outskirts of the Corellia Galaxy! According to the data from the detectors, this fleet had more than 10000 ships! This was a number that no one dared to imagine! However, as the identification codes were set up, the answer was revealed. Among the 15000 spaceships, more than 12000 were civilian spaceships, and they were filled with civilians!
"Civilians? Why are they civilians? " In the Five Star Alliance's command center on Planet Tralus, Garm Bell Iblis shouted in exasperation.
Tang Yu's expression didn't look too good either. Although he had already received the information, seeing such a cruel and inhumane scene still made him furious! They really wanted to use these innocent civilians as cannon fodder so that they would not dare to continue using the anti-gravity device!
"Your Excellency Tang Yu! This matter … "Iblis looked at Tang Yu, seeking his opinion.
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "Let's see what the Republic's commander has to say first. Also, no matter what, spread the news of the Republic kidnapping civilians as cannon fodder. They will do it anyway."
"Aren't they afraid of losing the support of the people?" Iblis's face was full of anger.
"If it's the Galactic Republic, they will. But if it's the Galactic Empire, they won't care. "Tang Yu sighed and said.
At this time, a communication came from the public channel. When Iblis picked up, he saw a holographic projector projecting a man in a brown cloak. It was a middle-aged black man, bald, burly, and the left side of his face and body was burnt. He looked extremely ferocious! It was Master Windu.
"I've been wondering who the commander of this inhumane fleet is. I've had many guesses, but none of them were correct. It's you, Master Windu, "Tang Yu said slowly as he looked at the holographic projection.
Windu looked at Tang Yu and said, "Subverting Corellia, making Lendili rebel … Just these two moves have reduced the Republic's strength by half. I have to say, you are indeed the most terrifying opponent I've ever seen. "
He paused for a moment before continuing, "This time, my fleet has kidnapped more than five million civilians. They are innocent. I don't want them to die, but I can't sit back and watch as the Republic is exposed to the midpoint. So, I have to make this decision! "
Then, Master Windu took a deep breath. His eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his voice became extremely loud. "Now, as the commander of the Republic's main fleet, I give a solemn ultimatum to the Corellia Star System and the Independent Star Confederation! I demand that you immediately stop the operation of the midpoint and anti-gravity devices! Face to face with my fleet! Otherwise, I will let the fleet enter the battlefield with the civilian spaceships and carry out the most thorough orbital bombardment of all five planets in the Corellia Star System! "
"The Republic no longer exists, Master Windu," Tang Yu said softly.
"But the goal I'm fighting for still exists!" Windu said.
"Even if the price is you falling to the dark side?" Tang Yu looked at Master Windu's bloodshot eyes. Even though he was immune to the Force, he could see that this was not a sign of the light side of the Force.
"From the moment I led the fleet out, I had already abandoned the light, abandoned my previous beliefs. Now, my only goal is to use the last of my strength to save the people I can save! To complete the mission that I can! "Master Windu said sternly.
Tang Yu closed his eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile. "If I don't enter hell, who will? My body is in hell, but my heart is in the light … Master Windu, at least you have proved that even in the final moments of the Jedi Knights, there are still such heroes. The legacy of the Jedi Knights for ten thousand years is not something that a mere 'Tao Te Ching' can overturn. "
"That book was indeed given to Master Yoda by you. Although your goal is not pure, this book has indeed given us a new direction of thinking. For this, I have to thank you. " Saying so, Master Windu bowed slightly. Then, his tone became fierce. "However, I will still launch an all-out attack on the Corellia Star System in an hour! Make your decision! "
The corners of Tang Yu's mouth curled up slightly. His expression changed from calm to solemn. "What makes you think that with the support of the anti-gravity equipment on four planets, we will not be able to stop your fleet? What makes you think that I will care about the lives of those five million civilians? They are the people of your Republic, not the people of the Confederation of Independent Systems. I have no reason to care about them. "
As he said so, the detectors on the side of the Republic fleet began to ring with warnings. Countless large battleships left hyperspace and appeared outside the Corellia Star System, confronting the huge Republic fleet from afar! There were more than 1,500 frigates, Fate-class destroyers, Sky-class cruisers, and Rookerhook-class battleships! Not only that, many smaller battleships were also joining the battlefield!
"By the way, let me remind you that I will be able to penetrate the crust of Selonia in a few hours. By then, you will be facing the complete midpoint! Perhaps, we will really open fire on one of the inhabited planets of the Republic. By then, it will not just be a problem of five million people! "Tang Yu said." So, how do you plan to deal with it? Master Windu. "
However, Master Windu did not directly answer this question. He only showed a strange expression and repeated, "In an hour, we will launch an attack."
At this time, another communication came in. A powerful voice said, "Long time no see, Mace Windu. Seeing your change, I can't help but feel that the world is unpredictable … "
Master Windu turned around and saw a white-haired but spirited old man appear in the holographic projection. He said in a deep voice, "Count Dooku … You finally came personally."
"I have no choice but to participate in this decisive battle. After all, the survival of the midpoint concerns the fate of the entire galaxy," Count Dooku said. "Do you really plan to use these five million civilians as cannon fodder? Is this the answer given by the Jedi Knights? "
"The Jedi Knights have been disbanded!" Master Windu said sternly.
"But you are still from the Jedi Knights, undeniably! How ironic that the 10,000-year legacy of the Jedi Knights could produce someone like you, "Count Dooku said with a sneer.
"It doesn't matter what you say about me. I have made up my mind, and the ultimatum has been passed on. We will see the answer in an hour, "Master Windu said and hung up the communication.
Tang Yu's eyes met Count Dooku's, flashed slightly, and conveyed a tacit message. He then looked at Iblis. Now, the former representative of the Republic and the first executive officer of the Five-Star Alliance was covered in cold sweat, and his body was trembling.
"Your Excellency Iblis, now that our fleet is ready, we can fight the Republic's main fleet to the death! With the support of the anti-gravity device, victory will belong to us! "Tang Yu said calmly, pretending not to see Iblis's expression.
"Send it up first, and immediately write the rest of the changes."
Master Windu turned around and saw a white-haired but spirited old man appear in the holographic projection. He said in a deep voice, "Count Dooku … You finally came personally."
"I have no choice but to participate in this decisive battle. After all, the survival of the midpoint concerns the fate of the entire galaxy," Count Dooku said. "Do you really plan to use these five million civilians as cannon fodder? Is this the answer given by the Jedi Knights? "
"The Jedi Knights have been disbanded!" Master Windu said sternly.
"But you are still from the Jedi Knights, undeniably! How ironic that the 10,000-year legacy of the Jedi Knights could produce someone like you, "Count Dooku said with a sneer.
"It doesn't matter what you say about me. I have made up my mind, and the ultimatum has been conveyed. As for the reply, we will see in an hour. "After Master Wendu finished speaking, he turned off the communication.
Tang Yu's eyes met Count Dooku's and flashed a little, conveying a tacit message. He then looked at Iblis. Right now, this former representative of the Republic and the first executive officer of the Five Star Alliance was covered in cold sweat, and his entire body was trembling.
