1192. The price of freedom (Part 2)
Anakin jumped off the mecha and began to call the surrounding Rebel Alliance soldiers to start rescue work and evacuate as soon as possible. He called on the hover trucks that could still be used to drive into the fire scene as quickly as possible, transfer the injured who could be rescued as quickly as possible, and then leave this hell.
Thor Mech has not moved. Rebel Alliance also thought that this terrible mecha had been killed by Anakin-Skywalker. After all, the melted hole in the cockpit was still there, and the mecha had indeed stopped working.
But these Rebel Alliance warriors have no idea of cheering...
The enthusiasm and courage of the battle just now have dissipated, replaced by fear and sadness. They couldn't even explain how they rushed up to face such a terrifying giant war weapon.
The battlefield instantly became much quieter, with only the screams still echoing.
Thor Mech stood there quietly, looming in the rising yellow smoke, like a mountain.
Lux-Bontri sat there on his knees in a daze. In front of him was the wounded man who had already died in pain. Lux stared blankly at the Rebel Alliance soldiers who were scattered and helped out of the thick smoke, their faces completely changed.
Finally he saw Stila-Gerrera coming out. He opened his mouth, stood up and whispered, "Yes... I'm sorry... I, I couldn't save..."
He swallowed it before he finished speaking, because he saw Suo-Gerrera being supported by Stila, and Suo-Gerrera who was also burned beyond recognition and had lost one leg.
Stila-Gerrera ignored him and walked away without even looking at him.
Lux stood there at a loss and looked around blankly. Then he saw a soldier who was familiar with him and walked over quickly, "Pinar, I..."
"Go away..." The Rebel Alliance soldier named Pinar said weakly, and then pushed Lux away.
Tears were already rolling down from the corners of Lux's eyes. Only then did he realize that every Rebel Alliance warrior who walked by was glaring at him, as if... they really blamed him for everything.
Yes, he made Rebel Alliance think that this THOR was just a platform for anti-aircraft use. He also told Rebel Alliance about THOR's route of action and seduced them into planning for THOR.
The instigator of this hellish killing was him, his mother Mina-Bontri!
Almost all Rebel Alliance fighters think so, so this accusation is baseless, but at this time, they just need an object to vent to.
Finally, Lux-Bontri saw the savior - he saw Anakin-Skywalker.
He quickly ran over, grabbed Anakin by the collar, and said eagerly, "General Skywalker, they... they arrested my mother... can you..."
However, Anakin-Skywalker grabbed his hand and slowly pulled it away, "I'm sorry Lux, I can't take the risk to rescue a member Separatists whose position is unclear, especially since she may be the instigator of this conspiracy..."
"No... my mother..." Lux wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Anakin.
"Maybe this time it was a mistake, a serious mistake. Go home, Lux." Anakin-Skywalker said, turned and walked away.
He was still very busy, and there were still many wounded people who needed help.
When Onderon's reinforcements arrived, they only saw corpses and wreckage all over the ground, but Thor Mech didn't know where he had gone.
After asking several times through the communication, Doctor Zhang Jiarui finally connected the communication and sent his location.
After Zhang Jiarui calmed down, he drove Thor Mech and walked on the wild road at maximum speed. By the time General Kalani picked him up with a transport plane, he had already driven Thor Mech for more than 30 kilometers.
General Kalani immediately congratulated Doctor Zhang Jiarui, but Zhang Jiarui just said, "The weapons test was successful." Then he stopped talking.
After returning to Unifar Temple, he locked himself in the mansion and had people give him a lot of academic books and fitness equipment, and then he never left his house again.
Rebel Alliance Here, after this tragic massacre, they could only lie dormant and lick their wounds in the hidden base.
The losses in this operation were too huge. Hundreds of well-trained soldiers died tragically on the spot, and many other soldiers were seriously injured, with permanent fatal injuries.
Even after returning to the base, at least one-third of the wounded soldiers died in pain.
These wounded soldiers did not dare to return to their lives, because General Kalani finally showed his ferocious fangs!
He issued many orders one after another, first sealing off all cities around Iziz, and then using Population Census as an excuse to conduct house-to-house searches.
As long as you find someone burned by white phosphorus, arrest him immediately!
Not only that, because this time Rebel Alliance members suffered a lot of losses at once, so he also ordered the arrest of all families with missing middle-aged men!
Thousands of people were arrested at one time. After interrogation, it was determined that most of them had contacts with the Rebel Alliance or were simply Rebel Alliance.
The whole Onderon suddenly became trembling, and General Kalani also reversed his slowness when he first took office and directly brought his vigorous and resolute style to the extreme. Don't forget, although he has developed intelligence, he is still essentially a robot, a heartless robot!
During this period, Anakin-Skywalker, Ahsoka-Tano and Stila-Gerrera became the busiest person among the Rebel Alliance. They went around to comfort Rebel Alliance, who was worried, and tried their best to rescue the captured members and their families, and also tried their best to treat the wounded.
Anakin-Skywalker also reported the current situation of Onderon to Coruscant, and after careful consideration, Republic Supreme Strategic Command asked Anakin to evaluate the possibility of Galactic Republic directly sending troops to occupy Onderon.
Anakin's reply is that the flames of Onderon's resistance have not been completely extinguished, and there is still the possibility of resurgence. And if troops are directly sent to occupy it, there is no guarantee that the Behemoth-class battlecruiser production line on Onderon's largest satellite, Dxun, will be available.
Supreme Strategic Command also gave a further reply - Galactic Republic needs to further evaluate this, and will smuggle another batch of supplies for reinforcements within a maximum period of one month. After one month, the disposal method of Onderon will be decided based on the specific circumstances.
