After Luna Dream and Luna Phantom returned to the fleet under the protection of Anakin Skywalker, they were immediately sent to the medical bay for emergency treatment, and Governor Tarkin ordered his own plane to take them back to Coruscant.
They were seriously injured, both physically and mentally.
Karnes-Murna's all-out attack came from the dream world. This is a subjective and contrary world. The Dream Sisters were also in the dream world at the time.
And it is unimaginable how powerful the mind and soul of Karness Maul, the Sith Demon Lord 7,000 years ago, was. Even Darth Malsayir spent several months trying to figure it out.
It takes a little to absorb him, let alone the current dream sisters.
The offensive on the Dexon satellite is still continuing, and countless Galactic Republic soldiers continue to attack the defense line of the Iron City.
After a long siege, the city-level shield of the City of Steel was finally completely broken. The moment the coolant dried up, the overheated shield capacitor ignited a raging fire, and even took on an ionic state under extremely high temperatures.
, the terrible flames ignited the entire large building, like a volcano.
Under the command of General Kalani, all the separatist robot legions began to shrink towards the interior of the city. Even the Scorpion tank cluster circled outside the city, broke out again and entered the city, and then dispersed into more than a dozen mobile combat groups.
.
The battle officially entered the stage of street fighting.
As the city's shield was broken, the powerful firepower advantage of the Galactic Republic army began to come into play. Fighter groups continued to roar over the city, dropping powerful bombs one after another against the powerful anti-aircraft firepower, launching proton torpedoes and
missile.
AV-7 self-propelled artillery and AT-TE walkers also continued to use heavy artillery to bombard the interior of the city.
Under the deep fire coverage, Steel City's anti-aircraft firepower and long-range firepower suffered heavy losses, which also further weakened their peripheral resistance.
There is nothing that can stop the Galactic Republic's army from attacking the city.
…
On the bridge of the temporary flagship of the Galactic Republic fleet, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser Steel Fist.
"This is the seventh serious armed confrontation today... General Skywalker, Governor Tarkin." An officer came over and spoke to Wilhelm Tarkin and Anakin who were standing in the bridge and commanding -
Skywalker submitted his report.
"What's the cause of the incident? If another incident of rape, robbery, or murder is caused by our soldiers, then we will cooperate with the planet Onderon and punish them severely." Anakin Skywalker frowned and said in a deep voice.
"...This time it was indeed an incident of injury and death, but..." the officer hesitated a little. He looked at Anakin and said, "They are a family of aborigines. They were originally from the former King Thor Gray.
They were moved to the farm area outside the city under the policy of La, but because the farm area became overcrowded, they returned to Yinzi City and had a conflict with the soldiers who temporarily requisitioned their residence. During the scuffle, someone fired a gun, causing
Three natives and one soldier died."
Anakin Skywalker rubbed his forehead, and he realized that this matter could not be dealt with at all. If it was just a soldier who committed a crime, or some residents were messing around, then the matter would be easy to solve, but now this matter
Something..., he shook his head and said: "What is the reaction of the authorities on the planet Onderon?"
"The Royal Guards wanted to arrest the five soldiers involved, but our people were obviously unwilling. Now the two sides are confronting each other with guns," the officer said.
"What do you think should be done? Jedi Knight." Wilhuff Tarkin asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Convict our soldiers and let them arrest these people? Or take our people by force?"
Come back? I have to remind you that we now have more than 2 million soldiers in Yinzi City. Not to mention robbing a few people, even if we annihilate the entire Royal Guard, it will be no problem."
Anakin fell silent.
Wilhuff Tarkin said from behind him: "It's hard, isn't it? It's us who clearly sacrificed our lives and blood for the Galactic Republic, and it's them who clearly support the Separatists and build Behemoth-class battleships for them.
But now? They can directly arrest our people and stop our actions, which even the main separatist forces cannot do."
Anakin remained silent.
"I can tell you some data. In fact, you should know it yourself." Tarkin said with his hands behind his back: "Since Ramses Dundup became king again, our army's medical resources in Yinzi City have dropped by 12%.
Because he strongly demanded that some medical robots and medicines be allocated to local residents. At the same time, the proportion of our army's rotating troops living in marching tents in the suburbs increased by 22%. Our soldiers can get more alcoholic beverages and medicines in the city.
Recreational products also dropped by nearly 40%, what does this mean?”
He took two steps forward and stood side by side with Anakin Skywalker. "You are a brave warrior. You have made a huge difference in my previous impression of the Jedi. You should be better than anyone else."
Everyone knows what people crave most after returning from the hell on the front line. It is a glass of wine, a piece of barbecue, a holographic game, and a warm embrace... But now the planet Onderon gives us soldiers
What is it?"
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's rationed materials, poor entertainment, cold tents... Oh, and the endless protest marches. My cousin once participated in the Stark Super League 20 years ago.
In space battles, what I can tell you is that the psychology of ordinary soldiers is very fragile. They are not cold clones, but ordinary people with flesh and blood and families. In order to maintain their will to fight, we need to do more
Work hard. But what now?”
Tarkin looked at Anakin's face, leaned slightly closer to his ear, and whispered: "Some kind of rule is killing our soldiers. This is not a sword or gun, but some kind of seemingly non-lethal existence..."
I think now you should be able to understand what I once said to you, about... fear and intimidation."
After saying that, he turned to the officer and said loudly: "Send me the law enforcement team! Put on the clone combat armors we brought, and get the electric batons! Take the people back by force! Our own soldiers, even if they commit crimes
Even serious matters need to be tried by our own military court! As long as the Royal Guards dare to shoot, they will be shot to death!
"
"Yes!" the officer immediately stood at attention and said loudly.
Anakin Skywalker closed his eyes. He knew that the Royal Guards would not back down easily. Today's incident was destined to become a farce. But...
"You're right...at least in this matter." Anakin Skywalker said coldly, walking towards the outside.
"Having recovered? What are your plans?" Tarkin asked.
"I will lead a commando team to break into the city, find and destroy the separatist J-1 proton cannon, to ensure that our army's Cheer-class assault landing ship can enter the atmosphere of the Dexon satellite." Anakin
With that said, he greeted Ahsoka Tano next to him, "Let's go, little devil."
