Countless clone soldiers formed a phalanx and surrounded the Jedi Temple.
Anakin Skywalker, wearing a black cloak and a sinister face, led the army up the steps of the main entrance of the temple step by step.
On both sides of the main entrance of the Jedi Temple, statues of Jedi sages stand majestically, solemnly and solemnly. The huge gate, which is hundreds of meters high, also demonstrates the tens of thousands of years of majesty and heritage of the Jedi Order.
But now, this most sacred place in the entire galaxy has finally been trampled on!
The current leader of the Jedi Order, Shaak-Ti, stood at the door. Although she was so small in front of the one hundred thousand army, she still stood tall and resisted the army of the Galactic Republic on her own.
However, behind her was the huge Jedi Temple. The heavy buildings and sculptures filled her thin body with a sense of heaviness.
"Anakin Skywalker! You have finally come this far... I can never imagine that this is you!" Shakti looked at Anakin and asked sternly.
"The era of the Jedi Order is over! Put down your resistance, open the library! Accept the interrogation of the Republic!" Anakin Skywalker said loudly.
"We once trusted you so much and nurtured you, but is this the graduation answer sheet you gave us? Are you so ignorant?" Shakti shook her head in pain, "You are the chosen one.
, you are a Jedi! You should protect all of this and should not become a tool for Palpatine’s personal ambition! He is still a Sith..."
"It's you who don't understand the truth! Master Shaak-Ti! The Jedi Order has become an obstacle to the Galactic Republic. Your existence can only make the Republic continue to move into the abyss!" Anakin Skywalker said.
"You have fallen to the dark side, Anakin. This should not have happened..." Shakti closed her eyes, her tone full of sadness, "But... the Jedi Order will never succumb to the darkness!"
"
Her eyes suddenly opened, and there seemed to be an extremely powerful light side force brewing in her unwavering eyes.
Whoosh!
The blue lightsaber in Shakti's hand opened instantly! She slowly made her sword stance.
Wow~~~! The clone soldiers behind Anakin Skywalker all raised their weapons.
"There is no point in resisting, Master Shaak-Ti." Anakin Skywalker said coldly.
"I have already said that the Jedi Order will never succumb to the dark side! And now, the Galactic Republic, ruled by darkness, is our enemy!" Shakti was extremely determined.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
!
Behind Master Shakti, the originally dark temple suddenly lit up with countless stars of light! It was the light of countless lightsabers!
The light of these lightsabers almost illuminated the dark temple, and the colorful lights revealed the resolute faces of hundreds of Jedi Knights and Jedi Apprentices.
Jedi Order, never surrender!
"Attack, kill without mercy." Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth and gave the final order.
Before he finished speaking, the clone soldiers behind him pulled the trigger at the same time!
Countless explosive energy beams were fired! They were densely packed like raindrops, shooting towards the Jedi Temple non-stop!
At the same time, the Jedi knights also waved their lightsabers to resist the countless blaster rifle attacks. The bounced blaster beams flew around, some hit the walls around the Jedi Temple, and some bounced back and hit the clones.
On the bodies of soldiers.
For a time, the entire periphery of the Jedi Temple was covered by countless blaster beams!
The clone army, numbering 100,000, also launched attacks from several other directions at the same time! They took off on LAAT/I assault transport boats and forcibly landed from above the Jedi Temple.
The top of the trapezoidal main body of the Jedi Temple suddenly fell into a chaotic battle. The Jedi Knights guarded the entrances to the five towers without moving an inch!
A Jedi Master stood at the door of the tower, facing hundreds of clone soldiers. These soldiers showed no mercy, surrounding him in a fan shape, and then never let go of their finger on the trigger!
Explosive beams were fired like raindrops. Even if the master wielded the lightsaber to the extreme, he could not resist it! Finally, there was a gap in his defense circle, and an extremely hot blasting beam instantly hit his chest! A fierce blast
The explosion immediately blew his chest into a bloody mess! Taking advantage of this gap, more explosive energy beamed on him and exploded!
After the Jedi Master's unyielding body fell, more clone troopers stepped on his body and entered the interior of the Jedi Temple.
Kill everyone on sight!
…
"No! Anakin has cut off the communication!" In the Capitol, Padmé Amidala looked at the cut off communication, her face full of sadness.
There are now about a dozen MPs gathered in Padmé Amidala's office. On the one hand, they came to visit Padmé, who had fainted from fright, and on the other hand, they came to discuss matters.
They are all senators with Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala as the core. They are loyal to the Galactic Republic and to democracy. They have always opposed Palpatine's dictatorship.
"Now the army of the Republic is hunting down Jedi Knights everywhere! News of the Jedi Knights' treason has spread throughout the Galactic Republic!" Standing next to her was Councilor Mon Mothma, who said worriedly, "
However, what we need to worry about most is that Palpatine’s matter has not gone through the parliament at all! He is making his own dictatorship a reality.”
Mon-Mothma is a human woman who looks very young, about 28 years old. She has short, capable hair. Although she is young, she looks elegant and approachable.
She is the ruling class of the planet Chandra (drila). Her mother is the governor of the planet and her father is the supreme arbiter of the planet. Because of this family status, she was able to run for and become a member of the Bormea sector.
represent.
However, this kind of family background did not make her become one of those corrupt and extravagant nobles. Instead, under the influence of her father, she became a very enlightened parliamentarian.
She is considerate of people's sentiments and cares about people's livelihood. Even after the war broke out, she was always committed to calling for peace and conducting negotiations. And now, she is also one of the members of Congress who is very concerned about the gradual loss of control of power in Palpatine's hands.
Because of her distinct political views, she has maintained a good relationship with the members of Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa, and has won the trust of each other.
By the way, in the original plot, she was the founder of the Rebel Army. It was her persistence and hard work that allowed the Rebel Army to survive the most difficult moments and finally overthrew the extremely powerful Galactic Empire.
