1094. Hell's Eriadu (Part 2)
On the Eriadu battlefield, although on the surface it seemed that 100 million people were fighting against Fourth Civilization's 1.3 million people, a military strength gap of one hundred times, the actual result was that Fourth Civilization relied on only one percent of its troops to defeat the Eriadu defenders.
The carrying capacity of a battlefield is limited. If too many soldiers pour in, in addition to increasing the personnel density of their own front so that units such as Siege Tank and Banshee Fighter can slaughter more freely, it will also cause more severe logistical supply difficulties, which is completely useless.
Therefore, Wilhuff-Tarkin could only put in the huge army one by one to fight against Fourth Civilization's elite army.
But the problem is, in the face of the violent and bloodthirsty Indjori, and the secretive and cunning Caladanian, such a fueling tactic is just giving away food!
Even if you don't encounter the armies of these two races, the other robot legions or Fourth Civilization Army cannot compete with these temporary recruits who have been trained for no more than a month!
Perhaps it was on the previous battlefield that the B-1 combat robot army, which was vulnerable to Clone Trooper, gave people some undue illusions, making them feel that the robot army was actually easy to deal with. Anyway, they don't even know how to hide. They only know how to line up and shoot while moving forward. The most they can do is stand behind the bunker and shoot while standing still. This is the maximum concealment they can achieve.
But when I actually faced such an army on the battlefield, I realized how wrong I was!
Why do ordinary soldiers line up in skirmish lines when fighting? Because they were afraid of stray bullets, they were even more afraid of artillery bombing. But the robot is not afraid of these at all. Sporadic firepower hits the body and it dangles. Unless the artillery shells fall very close, the shock wave will not cause any damage to the robot at all.
In addition, their shooting skills are actually very accurate. Although they are a bit rigid and easy to be lured by false targets, as long as they are locked by their electronic eyes, it will be a real headshot!
Under such circumstances, the robot army formed a neat queue and opened fire while advancing. In fact, it was not a queue to kill, but a torrent of steel!
Now, Fourth Civilization's army has surrounded Eri-Xiang City, the capital of Eriadu, from five directions, set up more than 500 Siege Tank, and bombed it indiscriminately day and night.
In the sky, there were also 20 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that broke into the atmosphere, providing strong fire support for the Fourth Civilization Armys.
Although the anti-aircraft firepower on Eriadu launched a desperate attack on these Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, it also severely damaged several of them. However, after discovering that the damage exceeded expectations, these battleships immediately took off and left the planet, and then carried out repairs on the two fully deployed Dawn's Radiance-class mothership in outer space.
After that, several new warships were sent into the atmosphere to take over.
In short, it is necessary to ensure that there are 20 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers on the planet at all times. This is the most reasonable number, which will not cause a waste of firepower, and can cover a wide enough area to cover the entire battlefield within the firepower range of these warships.
And in the recovered city of Eri-Xiang City, there is now an atmosphere of terror.
It's not the kind of horror that comes with war, but... another kind of horror.
Boom! Boom! Boom!! Blah blah blah...
In the Eri-Xiang City shrouded in darkness, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, accompanied by the sound of the collision of iron chains.
I only saw a huge figure walking on the deserted dark street, and the footsteps came from under its feet.
Wherever it passed, everyone, whether civilians or soldiers, hid in the shadows and dared not come out.
Although many of these people had weapons in their hands, they didn't even have the courage to shoot at this black figure!
In fact, in the past few days, there were many people who wanted to shoot it and kill it.
But these people are all dead now...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!! The figure was still walking aimlessly on the street.
When it passed by a burning TX-130 Saber levitating tank, the flickering firelight illuminated its true appearance!
He is nearly 4 meters tall and barely has a human shape. The muscles on his body have been completely alienated, and a large amount of mutant tissue has grown out, making the muscles no longer look developed. It simply looks like a very disgusting structure made of countless muscles kneaded together.
Some parts of its body that were relatively mutated were still hung with thick armor plates. The chains connecting some of the armor plates broke, making a clattering sound as they were dragged on the ground.
Its small head has also undergone serious mutations. It is as if the head has been cut in half from the middle. The left half is still normal, but the right half has been severely mutated, growing countless mutated tissues, and the volume is almost five times that of the other half of the head.
On the mutated half of the head, an eyelidless, abnormally bulging eyeball was spinning.
What is even more chilling is that a metal object is inserted into its heart. If you look closely, it turns out to be the hilt of a Lightsaber sword! The metal hilt was inserted into the mutated tissue and could no longer be pulled out. Moreover, at the end of the hilt, there was actually a rotten severed hand still hanging on it!
This terrifying monster is the Enlightener!
Out of control the Enlightener!
Shortly after Fourth Civilization started logging in, Major General of the Army Ling Liang issued an order to Orbital Drop the Enlightener directly to the core of Eri-Xiang City.
Originally, Eri-Xiang City did not meet the conditions for login at all, and even the conditions for Orbital Drop were not allowed. Because this city is completely a fortress! There are turrets and fire points everywhere, as well as fortified buildings.
But the Enlightener doesn't need it.
Because this is a super monster created by Darth-Malthael using Drayer Virus and paired with the extremely evil Sith Alchemy!
This monster cannot be effectively damaged by ordinary firepower or even tank artillery!
General Ling's purpose is very clear. Before officially launching an attack in the most Eri-Xiang City urban area, the Enlightener will be thrown into the urban area as a troublemaker. Throwing the city's defenses upside down, her other ground forces had a chance to attack.
The Enlightener did a good job at the beginning, destroying several patrols, including many Clone Troopers. Even the tanks sent by the defenders were directly destroyed by it! In terms of air strikes, his height of about 3 meters at that time was just a little giant, and it was difficult for him to be hit by fighter jets.
Therefore, the Enlightener really became a terrible troublemaker.
Finally, stationed at Eriadu, the only remaining Jedi Master - Master Ovarle finally took action.
That's right, Ovarle is already the last Jedi Master. His apprentices and companions all died heroically in previous battles. When Gabriel-Tosh's assassination plan against Governor Tarkin was dismantled, Ovarle still had several companions, but now, everything has come to nothing.
Master Ovarle led an elite team of Clone Trooper with heavy firepower such as rocket launchers and set out to destroy this terrifying monster.
They fought for a whole day, and Master Ovarle finally stabbed Lightsaber directly into the Enlightener's heart - he had reached through Force sense, and here was the core of the Enlightener, which was also its most deadly place.
This sword will kill the Enlightener!
And he himself paid the price with his life...
The Enlightener is extremely powerful, quite resistant to the Force, and is not afraid of ordinary firepower at all. Being able to thrust out this sword was something Master Ovarle could do by burning his life.
Such a monster must be killed!
This is the last insistence of Master Ovale, whose Force has been infiltrated by the dark side after witnessing countless human tragedies in the past few months.
But what no one expected was that the Enlightener, which was supposed to die, actually mutated! And it's out of control!
The mutated the Enlightener became extremely crazy, and it began to eat people on a large scale! Eat corpses! As it eats more and more people and corpses, its body grows larger and more bloated.
After organizing several more sieges, but in the end they only provided extra food for the mutant the Enlightener, Eriadu military gave up completely and could only allow the Enlightener to wander around among Eri-Xiang City.
Anyway, they also saw that the Enlightener once attacked a robot team that Orbital Drop came down from, confirming the reality that this beast was completely out of control.
The out-of-control the Enlightener will no longer attack those strategic locations. Its only goal is to eat, and keep eating.
So the threat is relatively small. Anyway, it only counts a few people. Now there are billions of people dead on Eriadu. It doesn't matter how many people it eats. As long as it doesn't threaten the city's defense system, it doesn't matter.
So Commander of the defending army issued an order for all soldiers and civilians who had no time to evacuate to avoid the out-of-control the Enlightener as much as possible and try not to make any sound, because according to observations, the mutated the Enlightener is the most sensitive to sound, followed by smell.
The constant sound of explosions in the distance made the Enlightener very anxious. It shook its body impatiently while walking. It still has the basic ability to judge. It knows that these explosions are far away and there is no point in running towards them. It is better to continue walking around. Maybe it will be lucky enough to find something to eat.
After walking a few steps, the Enlightener discovered the smell of corpses on the ground floor of an office building. It leaned down, squeezed in through the door, which was already very narrow for it, grabbed several highly decomposed corpses from the ground and began to eat them.
There were some civilians and soldiers in the corner of the office building. Seeing this scene, their stomachs tumbled, and finally one person couldn't help but vomited it out!
The Enlightener suddenly raised his head and let out a terrifying roar towards this side! Then he broke through the metal wall and crashed into it!
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" The survivor shouted in fear, picked up the weapon in his hand and shot wildly, but it was of no use to the Enlightener!
It rushed over, grabbed a person, ripped off the head effortlessly, and then stuffed it into its mouth.
Others were so frightened that they collapsed. Some people did not even bother to shoot and ran away. However, the movement of escape attracted the Enlightener. It rushed over at a speed that was not consistent with its bloated body, and slapped the man into a pulp!
"Separatist army, are you about to invade Eri-Xiang City?" Galactic Republic 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin stood in front of the window of the manor with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright sunshine and beautiful scenery outside the window, and asked lightly.
"Yes, Lord Governor. Their frontline troops are only 5 kilometers away from Eri-Xiang City. They have already conducted several Orbital Drop attacks on the city, but due to insufficient troop input, they were quickly annihilated by our defenders." The staff officer nodded and bowed in response.
"That was just a test of firepower. If I guessed correctly, the ones Orbital Drop dropped were all robots, right?" Tarkin said.
"Yes, Lord Governor is wise, the one left behind is indeed a robot."
"This shows that their final general attack has been very fast. Commander, who informed me Eri-Xiang City, must stop Separatists at all costs, even if they arm those civilians! In one month at most, the hyperspace storm will end! By then, we will have reinforcements again!" Tarkin raised his head, looked at the cloudless sky, and said viciously.
"Yes, yes!"
"Also." Tarkin turned around with a stern face, "I must ensure the safety of my retreat route! And I must also disguise myself to make these Separatists believe that I am still Eri-Xiang City!"
"No problem, we have made arrangements. Coruscant has also given a positive answer. As soon as the hyperspace storm subsides, 50 Hunter Class Battlecruiser will immediately rush into Eriadu system and attack Separatist fleet. At this time, you can leave safely." said the staff officer.
"Moreover, the camouflage plan has been ongoing. Every command you send is transmitted through wired lines, and then forwarded through Eri-Xiang City's underground command center. In this way, no matter how Separatists scans and detects, it can only detect the signal sent from Eri-Xiang City." The staff officer said quickly.
Tarkin nodded and waved his hand to let the staff officer go out.
He continued to stand in front of the window for a while, still feeling uneasy, so he opened the electromagnetic barrier, turned on communication, and connected to a highly confidential frequency band.
The figure of Chancellor of the Galactic Senate Palpatine soon appeared in the holographic projection. However, it was different from usual. The Palpatine in the projection now had a sinister and fierce expression. This was his true face.
"Your communication is very timely, friend. The parliament was just discussing your problem." Palpatine said sinisterly.
"Separatists should start a general attack on Eri-Xiang City within a day." Tarkin said.
"Oh, then you must have left, right? Dear Governor. Living and dying with those untouchables is not what you should do." Palpatine said.
"I did leave Eri-Xiang City very early. But now the entire planet is full of Separatist fleet, and it's not easy to leave here." Tarkin said.
