The hangar door of the Kent Cheer-class assault landing ship was reopened because the internal mechanical safety device was destroyed. At the same time, six Umbala transport ships filed in and flew into the hangar.
And Ventress had already piloted her fan blade fighter to hover in the hangar platform and bombard her wildly!
The clone troopers in the hangar rushed out and fired back, and the automatic machine guns used for defense inside also opened fire, pouring intensive firepower onto the fighter jets.
However, this is a fighter jet after all!
No matter how fragile it is in a space war, the shield and firepower of a fighter jet cannot be shaken by the individual firepower carried by ordinary soldiers, let alone those automatic defense machine guns that are only used to guard against riots and gang fighting.
After the fan-knife fighter exploded randomly inside the Kent's hangar platform, a raging fire broke out on the hangar platform, and a gap was blown out of the fire-proof and explosion-proof compartment.
At the same time, heavily armed Umbala soldiers jumped out of the six transport planes and rushed towards the interior of the battleship.
Ventress also jumped off the fighter jet, holding the two cranked lightsabers hanging on her waist instantly in her hands. The blood-red light blades were unsheathed. She moved quickly, stepping on the wall and rushing past the clone soldiers.
Shooting with a blaster rifle had no effect at all, as all blast beams were reflected back.
She led the Umbala soldiers and fought their way towards the bridge of the spaceship.
…
At the same moment, Pang Krell had led the clone army to launch a storm on the capital of Umbala.
The Umbala people are very determined to defend their capital. They almost resist the clone army's offensive one after another. Even if they face clone soldiers who are almost inhumane and are completely killing machines, they have nothing to do.
frightened.
Moreover, Pang Krell launched the attack without any reinforcements, and even Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion was not in place. There was no involvement from other directions. It was just a frontal attack. Such a battle
Even the clone army couldn't bear it.
The Clone Forces suffered very heavy losses. More than 8,000 members of the Pon-Krell Corps suffered more than 3,000 casualties under repeated attacks, and almost half of them were lost!
Under Pang Krel's deliberate concealment, almost no one noticed the sudden loss of contact with the Kent landing ship at this moment, and no one noticed that the Umbala's small air force had stopped attacking Kent.
Instead, they began bombing the clone army near the capital.
At this time, Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion finally broke through the Umbala people's pursuit and interception, and attacked the Umbala capital from another direction.
The Umbala people were attacked from both front and back, and the army near the capital was also severely depleted and was no longer able to support them.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The Kent Cheer-class assault landing ship, which took off to perform fire support missions in the air, suddenly turned its gun muzzle and pointed its powerful heavy-duty turbolaser cannon at the other Cheer-class ship on the ground in this direction and opened fire brazenly!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heavy turbolaser cannon located in the abdomen of the Cheer-class assault landing ship is specially used for ground attacks. It is very powerful. Caught off guard, the Cheer-class ship on the ground barely reacted at all, and the superstructure was directly swept away by the Kent.
And in the air, the entire battleship was submerged in a sea of fire!
Immediately afterwards, the Kent turned its guns and directly bombed the Clone Legion where Pang Krell was!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
!
The fierce bombing directly blew the clone army to pieces. The clone soldiers dispersed and entered their bunkers to avoid the bombing. As a result, they had no offensive organization at all on the front line.
At the same time, the Kent was also flying towards the capital of Umbala, and had also begun to use several of its turrets to bombard the 501st Regiment's positions.
Pon-Krel immediately summoned his clone commanders and said angrily: "I received a communication! It was Cody who rebelled!
He captured the Kent and opened fire on us!
"
"Cody betrayed? How is this possible!" The clone commander couldn't believe it at all.
"He is bombing us now! What is impossible!" Pang Krell said loudly, "I will contact Anakin Skywalker immediately and go with him to recapture the Kent! You lead the troops and continue the attack!"
"But..." The clone commander looked around at the constant artillery fire and almost all of the troops were in disgrace. He hesitated to speak. He finally chose to obey the order, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! I will continue to lead the team.
attack!"
Then, Pon-Krel connected Anakin's communication and told him about Cody's betrayal and occupation of the Kent.
Anakin Skywalker was shocked, "What did you say? How is this possible! I have fought side by side with Cody many times, and he is definitely not a person who may betray! He cannot betray at any time!"
"Then this means that your judgment is wrong, Anakin." Pang Krel said coldly, "Now I need your help. Only we can break through the Umbala air blockade and fly in with fighter jets.
Inside the Kent, eliminate the rebels!"
Anakin nodded solemnly, "That's all. After I see Cody, I will personally ask him why he betrayed!"
"Very good, then let's meet at the hangar platform of the Kent!" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Pang Krel's mouth.
…
Half an hour ago, the inner prison of the landing ship Kent.
A violent vibration threw Cody away, and he hit the wall with a bang. Before he could react, a cooling pipe broke and fell on his head, hitting him on the head, making him unconscious.
.
I don't know how long it took, but Cody opened his eyes with difficulty, looked around, and found that he was buried under the heat dissipation pipe. He pushed the hot pipe away with all his strength, but fortunately, the clone combat armor with good performance protected him from the high temperature.
Kill him, otherwise he would have been cooked by the heat dissipation duct.
He got up from the ground and took a look, and found that the laser fence at the prison entrance was also damaged in the explosion, so he quietly walked out.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, he heard someone talking in the Umbala language in the distance!
Cody looked around and reacted instantly. He jumped up and climbed along the pipeline to the ceiling of the corridor. He used his strong limbs to support the corner of the pillar and hid here.
I only saw a few Umbala soldiers walking down below. They were talking very relaxedly, and they didn't seem to be in a fighting state at all!
Cody was shocked, thinking of a terrible result - the Kent was occupied by the Umbala people? How is this possible!? If the Umbarans really had the ability to occupy a Cheer-class, they would have done so long ago
, why wait until now?!
After these Umbala soldiers had gone away, he quietly came down from the ceiling, and with his familiarity with the internal structure of the battleship, he avoided every surveillance camera and moved towards the bridge.
Along the way, he saw many Umbala soldiers. These soldiers seemed to be cleaning up the interior of the battleship. They also lifted the corpses of some clone soldiers and stacked them together. A few others were taking off the armor from the corpses to prepare for their own use.
Umbalas are about the same size as humans, so they can naturally wear clone combat armor.
