1927, The end of Felucia
"You should know very well that if you draw a sword against me, the final outcome will be death, right?" Darth Vader said coldly, he slowly raised the lightsaber in his hand and opened the sword.
This is his unique and improved sword stance, which seems to be similar to the fifth sword style of Sheen/Dejem-So, but also has some characteristics of the third and fourth styles of swordsmanship.
Seeing such sword power, even Sora Balk's face became serious.
If it had been anyone else, Thora Balk would have definitely scolded the other party for taking it for granted to modify the starting point of the lightsaber swordsmanship. But standing in front of him at this moment was Darth Vader, the most powerful person in the entire galaxy.
One of the strongest!
Faced with such an existence, Thora Balk would naturally not think that the adjustment of the opponent's sword force was just the result of taking it for granted.
Thora Balk took a deep breath, and then took out another object from his waist-a short-barreled blaster shotgun!
Then he slowly brought the blaster shotgun and the back end of the lightsaber hilt together, forming a strange sword posture. It was like the so-called gun fighting technique, and also like some kind of variation of the lightsaber sword technique, but
In fact, this posture is a brand new technique that uses the short-barreled shotgun as another lightsaber, based on the lightsaber double-sword sword technique Jia Kai, supplemented by gun fighting movements!
The unique lightsaber swordsmanship belonging to the swordsman Sora Balk!
Thora Balk constantly adjusted his breathing. As his breathing rhythm continued to adjust, the connection between him and the Force was also in an optimal state.
Although his character could not be shaken by the words of Darth Vader, who seemed to him to be just a stupid being, in fact, Darth Vader was right...
Thora Balk did come to fight Darth Vader with the mentality of sacrificing himself.
In fact, Thora Balk was still a very famous and tough rebel among the Jedi Order even at the landmark point of the Clone Wars, three months after the First Battle of Geonosis.
The leader of the war faction.
During the Battle of Geonosis, Master Windu led more than 200 Jedi Knights to the planet Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi who was kidnapped by the Separatists, and Thora Balk
He was one of the Jedi who participated in this battle.
Moreover, he also relied on his superb swordsmanship to fight his way out of countless battle robots in the arena battle.
Until that time, Thora Balk still maintained a rational way of thinking about the development of the situation. He was still opposed to war. He believed that if the war was allowed to break out, both the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order would deviate from their former paths.
However, at that time, Count Dooku found him and told him that the Galactic Republic had come to an end. This war would detonate almost all conflicts within the Republic and push the Galactic Republic into the abyss of destruction. Moreover, Count Dooku also told Sol
La-Barque must establish a strong power within the galaxy in order to eliminate those internal contradictions.
Count Dooku said that currently only the Jedi Order still possesses moral and rational purity and supremacy. If the Jedi Order can be changed and rule the Galactic Republic in a more powerful manner, then all the issues he worries about
, will be solved. The biggest problem at the moment is that Masters Yoda and Windu, who lead the Jedi Order, don't think much about it. Therefore, they are the culprits who prevent this galaxy from becoming stronger and more united.
This was originally just Count Dooku's way of talking nonsense to people and ghosts at that time, but the problem was that because Count Dooku's eloquence was so good, Thora Balk actually believed it!
He wholeheartedly believed that what he was doing was to save the galaxy, save the Galactic Republic, and change the Jedi Order. He also prepared and trained for a long time. The result was that Thora Balk fell at the very beginning.
When he entered the dark side, he didn't even have the slightest consciousness. He always thought that he was just in the state of wandering between darkness and light when he used the Wapad sword technique.
After that, Thora Balk broke away from the Jedi Order under the instigation of Count Dooku, and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems to become one of the most powerful dark believers under Count Dooku. However, his inner belief has always been
Nothing has changed. He believes that he is fighting for the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order!
But now, after witnessing the reorganization of the Galactic Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order, Thora Balk was already filled with despair. He believed that his struggle had finally failed.
So during the original battle to guard the planet Felucia, Thora Balk was already determined to die. But now the powerful force fluctuations generated by the battle between Death and Darth Vader attracted him
After coming over to witness the battle, Thora Balk decided that he could do a few more things before he died.
Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. Thora Balk, as one of the most powerful dark believers in the Confederation of Independent Systems, is naturally qualified to know this information.
Thora Balk naturally hated this traitor who personally issued Order 66 and destroyed the Jedi Order!
So he also made up his mind - no matter what Darth Vader wants to do, he must stop it! If he intends to kill Master Adi Gallia, who seems to be in a bad state, then he must not be allowed to succeed.
!
What's more, Thora Balk, as Adi Gallia's predecessor in the Jedi Order, has a good impression of this smart Jedi master. At this time, he will naturally give Adi Gallia a hand.
.
Seeing that the God of Death had run away, and it seemed that there was no chance to kill this powerful and strange Jedi this time, Darth Vader was angry, and he walked towards Thora Balk step by step!
If there is no way to kill Adi Gallia, then killing Thora Balk, one of the most powerful dark believers in the Confederation of Independent Systems, is also a very good result!
Darth Vader suddenly charged forward, slashing down the bloody lightsaber with terrifying power!
Sora Balk holds a sword in his left hand and a short-barreled shotgun in his right hand. He keeps firing and swinging his sword, combining distance and distance, using the coverage and range of the shotgun to restrict Darth Vader's movement, while at the same time the lightsaber in his hand is fully deployed!
The seventh sword technique, Wapad!
This powerful sword technique created by Master Mace Windu, only Windu, Thora Balk and Depa Billaba in the entire galaxy can practice it to the point of proficiency!
The Wapad sword technique is extremely powerful. It combines the violence of Zhu Yue, the seventh sword technique of the dark side, and the stability of the sword technique of the light side. Now when it is used in the hands of Sora Balk, it is even more cunning and vicious. With the short pipe
With the blaster shotgun, he actually suppressed Darth Vader steadily for a while!
Just when the two men were fighting fiercely, neither of them noticed that an unexpected change occurred in the outer space of the planet Felucia that no one expected!
The current planet of Felucia is being surrounded by 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyers and 3 Cheer-class assault landing ships. These warships are deployed in planet-synchronous orbit, and they are constantly sending more Imperial Stormtroopers to land.
At the same time, it is also providing firepower reinforcements for ground troops and providing take-off and landing platforms for fighter formations.
And because Darth Vader defeated the God of Death in the previous battle and chased him far away, the ground offensive that had been interrupted due to the harassment of the God of Death was launched again, with the target directed at Fei.
Coviteo City, the capital of Lucia planet!
For this offensive, the Imperial Army invested 100,000 troops, all clone warriors of the Imperial Stormtroopers, and all of them were well-equipped. Including the Scorpion tanks developed to fight against the Principality of Dawn, which were modified and upgraded from the TX-130 Saber hover tank.
The 1-M medium suspension tank, as the backbone of the Imperial Army, replaces the AT-TE walker 1-H heavy tank, as well as the most powerful walking vehicle in the Imperial Army - AT-AT!
In addition, there are a full 200,000 troops deployed as reserves behind.
The huge army directly broke into the interior of Coviteo City, and the robot army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems also put up a very determined resistance based on the city's terrain.
Therefore, in this battle, in order to maintain the ground offensive, most of the Galactic Empire's fleets focused on providing support for the ground battlefield.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the outer space of the planet! Then a huge spaceship jumped out of hyperspace and appeared in the universe.
With a length of 4825 meters, a huge hull, and a sharp bow that looks like a bird’s beak – it is the super battleship of the Confederation of Independent Systems, the Conqueror-class battleship!!
However, unlike the previously destroyed No. 1 ship Fang, and the No. 2 ship Destruction currently under Severance Tann's fleet, the sides of this battleship are not used to launch directional high-energy electromagnetic pulses.
The dish-shaped device was replaced by a pair of hemispherical devices.
This is the third ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, the Slaughter! And equipped on this battleship is a secret weapon - the breath of the dragon!
After leaving hyperspace, the Carnage accelerated towards the planet. The Galactic Empire fleet, which was in the planet's synchronous orbit, was unable to react for a while. When these battleships began to turn around under the orders of their respective captains, the Carnage battleship was already approaching.
to the planet and entered the planet's synchronous orbit!
The Conqueror-class battleship is not a battleship that can fight freely in the atmosphere. Its huge body makes it difficult to move in the atmospheric environment, and the action of the Slaughter was beyond everyone's expectations, because it was equivalent to giving up on its own initiative.
Mobility, seems to want to confront the Imperial fleet head-on?
An Imperial-class Star Destroyer has already approached the Carnage battleship, and the two sides are engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. The 500 medium-sized turbolaser cannons equipped on the Carnage battleship fired dense beams of light and poured them onto the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
The Imperial-class Star Destroyer also demonstrated the level of a new generation of battleships, standing firm even in the face of the powerful artillery bombardment of the Carnage battleship!
This is no longer the era during the Clone Wars, when Conqueror-class battleships could casually defeat Chasseur-class battlecruisers. Even if there was only one Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it still had the firepower and capability to confront a Conqueror-class battleship head-on.
In terms of protective power, although the loser is definitely the Imperial class, considering the huge size gap between the two, it can actually well explain the changes of the times and the update of equipment.
But the Slaughter battleship was obviously not coming for the Imperial fleet. After the battleship entered the synchronous orbit, hemispherical bulge-like devices on both sides unfolded, and inside was a strange-looking launcher exuding green mist!
The breath of the dragon!
Launcher of the biochemical virus Trihexalon! A super virus that can kill all living things on the planet!
Before more Imperial-class Star Destroyers arrived at the scene, Dragon's Breath opened fire! Rays composed of green smoke were immediately launched to the surface of the planet, and the green smoke began to spread instantly! The color became lighter and lighter, and the range became wider and wider.
It is gradually sweeping towards the entire surface of the planet.
The first one to bear the brunt is the planet's capital, Coviteo City, which is currently undergoing a fierce offensive and defensive battle!
Thora Balk also noticed the spread of the virus through his perception of the Force. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. Although the color of the poisonous gas could no longer be seen here, the extremely dangerous sensation coming from the Force was also a constant reminder.
He, death, is falling from the sky!
He also immediately understood that he had been abandoned...
Count Dooku issued an order to use the dragon's breath on the planet Felucia. It was obvious that he would rather sacrifice the lives of more than 10 million civilians on the entire planet to eliminate all the main forces of the Imperial Stormtroopers here!
And when he issued this order, he obviously did not consider the life and death of Thora Balk.
The old Weequay Dark Jedi Master looked at the sky with a sense of loss. Count Dooku betrayed him. This actually didn't matter, but for Thora Balk, what was even more unacceptable was that Count Dooku betrayed his beliefs.
!
In the final analysis, he is not fighting for the freedom of the galaxy, nor is he fighting for a better future. What he is fighting for is only his own power and ambition!
"Doku...when did you start...abandoning your ideals?" Thora Balk sighed, and in his heart, the last trace of persistence was shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Darth Vader's blood-red lightsaber pierced Sora Balk's heart!!
At the same time, 10 Empire-class Star Destroyers had arrived and started a fierce exchange of fire with the battleship Carnage in planet-synchronous orbit!
After holding on for more than two hours, the battleship Carnage was finally overwhelmed. Amidst the continuous bombardment by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it finally suffered a violent explosion. Fires ignited on the surface of the battleship, and then it fell uncontrollably!
