1308. Trap!

Early the next morning, Sehas took the earliest shuttle and flew towards the Galactic Republic large spaceport in the outer orbit of the planet.

Entering the dark space, I saw only Hunter Class Battlecruiser one after another docked at the huge circular space port berth. Many transport ships were surrounding these huge warships like bees, delivering supplies, ammunition and other materials.

It can also be seen that one of the Hunter Class Battlecruiser is still completing renovations. A large engineering spacecraft is hovering above the battleship, removing the battleship's D main gun turret. The turret is floating in the vacuum of space. Next to it, more than a dozen engineers wearing engineering space suits are repairing the turret coil.

The shuttle flew all the way to a small spacecraft berth in the space port and parked it. Sehas got off the shuttle. He straightened up his appearance and straightened his Republic Navy gray military uniform. Then he put on his soft hat, straightened the rank badge on his chest, took a deep breath to calm his nervousness, and walked over.

As he walked forward, he saw thousands of Clone Troopers wearing white polymer and gold armor lining up in a neat square formation in the spaceport square on the other side. Under the command of the officers, they carried DC-15S Blaster rifle on their shoulders, followed the instructions to turn left and right, and then divided into countless small groups and uniformly entered a row of LAAT/I assault transport boats parked next to them.

The loaded LAAT/I transport boats are queuing up to take off, and then enter the Hunter Class Battlecruiser unfolding Hangar Platform on the large battleship berth to stand by.

Obviously, this is a signal of war!

Because normally, Clone Trooper will not wear their combat armor all the time, and they will not ride LAAT assault transport when boarding the ship. There is only one purpose for boarding the assault transport boat - to force a landing!

In the distance, you can also see some larger military phalanxes. The soldiers in this phalanx are all wearing gray military uniforms, and although the array looks like the same thing, it is still far from the uniformity of Clone Trooper.

This is an array of ordinary soldiers. Now, as most of Kamino's clone factories were destroyed a few months ago, and Speaker Sheev-Palpatine issued a 1 billion conscription order, ordinary soldiers have begun to appear on many battlefields. Although they are not as elite as the clones, they are numerous and after these months of training, they are not as vulnerable as before.

"You have also seen it. I am not lying to you. Our fleet is currently preparing for combat and may set off in the next few days." Sehas said.

There was no response in the air, and he didn't know whether the terrible Gabriel-Tosh was there or not.

Maybe, he failed to get on the shuttle and was left on Cona Planet?

Sehas was thinking wildly. He kept walking towards the command center and whispered in a low voice, "Every meeting we have will be backed up in the database behind the command center. If you want to know what 'I' is, that is the only possible place."

There was still no response in the air.

Sehas came to the entrance of the command center. There was a glass corridor. Anyone who entered needed to stand alone in the corridor and be scanned by the instrument before they could enter.

Two heavily armed Clone Trooper stopped him at the door and asked, "Stop! What are you doing in the command center?"

"I... uh, I want to see Lieutenant Colonel Chief of Staff Gualin. There may be errors in a combat record submitted before. I need to verify it in time." Sehas quickly answered.

Clone Trooper compared his identity card and nodded to let him go.

After entering the glass corridor, several rays of different frequency wavelengths were swept over his body to ensure that he did not carry any suspicious items.

However, the staff member operating the scanner in the background suddenly found that the screen in front of him flickered. He looked at the device with some confusion, but everything returned to normal. He thought the voltage might be unstable, so he ignored it. Seeing that there was no sign of suspicious items on Sehas, he casually slapped the button next to him. The green light turned on in the glass corridor and the front door opened at the same time.

Sehas entered the command center. He used the excuse he had made up to report to his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Gualin, and was then allowed to access the database to verify the erroneous information.

Sehas came to the database. There were dozens of operation terminals in a row. He came to one of them and whispered, "Are you still there? Now I have come in. You can do whatever you want, if you are still there."

"Your ID." A deep voice came from the side.

Sehas's face changed. On the one hand, it was because this scary black man had followed him in, and on the other hand, it was also because of the request he made, "This is impossible! If you log in with my ID, Intelligence Department will know after a little search that I am querying this record!"

"Do you think you will have a chance to stay here in the future, Staff Department? Give me your ID, or I'll crush your heart." Gabriel-Tosh said.

Sehas's face changed drastically, but he still cursed secretly. He took out a small card device from his pocket and swiped the iris in front of his eyes. A green light immediately lit up on the device. Then he put the device on the table and stood aside, pretending to be working - he saw the device suddenly disappear.

However, after a while, Gabriel-Tosh suddenly heard an angry growl next to him, "Plan I, raid Semirres Planet! The time is, tomorrow! Bastard! You lied to me!"

Sehas was shocked, "This is impossible! The information I got is that the attack will be launched in a week. Even if we are delayed for two days, there are still five days! If we attack tomorrow, we will be on combat readiness by now!"

"... According to the documents, except for the Fourth Army Third Sub-fleet here, the other four squadrons have already set off for top-secret operations! Voodoo told me that this smells like conspiracy!" Tosh said in a deep voice, "I must send the news back, now!"

"Now? Do you know where this is? This is the headquarters of Third Sub-fleet! If you want to spread the news from here, you are asking for death, and you are asking me to die!" Sehas was shocked.

"That's right, just take care of yourself." Tosh's voice was extremely cold.

Sehas jumped up without hesitation and shouted, "Help..."

But before he could say anything, he was pushed back to his seat, and then he only saw a pair of red eyes in front of him!

"I will let you die without pain." Tosh said.

However, the next second, a sudden change occurred!

"Hmm!!" Tosh suddenly groaned, and the air in front of him was distorted. As a burst of electricity passed through, his invisibility failed!

Not only that, but blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes!

"This is a trap!" Gabriel-Tosh looked extremely ferocious. He stared at Sehas, "Who asked you to do it? Who!?"

Sehas was frightened by this sudden change, and he stood there dumbfounded.
