1321. Fierce collision
Mandalore, the old capital Keldabe.
This glorious city of the Mandalorian also rose and fell with the history of the Mandalorian, and when Mandalore the Ultimate led New Mandalorian Crusaders to rise again, it once became the economic, political and transportation core of the vast area controlled by the Mandalorian.
But as the Mandalorian gradually declined, Keldabe also gradually lost its past glory.
During the 'Mandalorian Excision' bombing more than 700 years ago, although Keldabe was not directly bombed, the surrounding facilities were severely damaged and the city's economy suffered a huge blow.
As New Mandalorian established the highly developed new city Sundari and made it the capital of New Mandalorian regime, Keldabe was also completely marginalized.
Only the city, which covers an extremely vast area, still shows Kordabe's charm as the ancient capital of the Mand'alor civilization.
It's just that the Mandalorian, whose population has dropped sharply, can no longer fill this huge city, and some parts of the city have basically become no-man's land. The white desert erodes these uninhabited areas, and you can only see countless dilapidated buildings while walking there.
What currently supports the Keldabe economy is MandalMotors (Mandal Motors), a company whose main business is the production of civilian vehicles. The company built a landmark headquarters several hundred meters high among Keldabe and hired poor the Mandalorian to work for them at low prices.
After all, the wealthy the Mandalorian has already moved into new cities including Sundari that are protected by black shields and have very superior living conditions.
At this moment, in Keldabe no man's land.
The howling wind and sand blew against the surrounding unoccupied buildings, rolling up the white sand and making a crackling sound on the walls of the buildings. The streets of the past can no longer be seen here, only the rows of houses, some have collapsed, and some are still standing.
There are also some ferocious predators hiding in the shadows of the buildings, waiting for opportunities. Most of these animals have mutated in the radiation left by Orbital Bombardment, becoming more ferocious and almost fatal to humans. So now a wall has been built in the inhabited area of Keldabe to block these animals and the violent wind and sand.
A man wearing a gray robe and an old man's mask stood motionless next to the ruins of a building. But even if he was standing here alone, the ferocious mutated animals around him would not dare to get even close to here.
Hermit.
A moment later, a burst of dust rose in the distance, and then a hover motorcycle drove over at high speed. A man wearing military green Mandalorian Crusaders armor jumped out of the motorcycle.
"I believe you will not refuse this commission. Deep in your heart, the Mandalorian's fighting blood still flows." Hermit said lightly, "Jango-Fett."
"I have no interest in Duke Satine's affairs, but if Death Watch still wants to resurrect, then I can only say that they have such a beautiful idea." Jango-Fett said.
"But there is no doubt that they have controlled the entire Sundari in some way, but fortunately, after my observation, their claws have not reached here yet, Keldabe." Hermit said.
"Sundari Those so-called the Mandalorian who have become wealthy businessmen, bosses, and white-collar workers cannot have any dealings with Keldabe. So it is normal that the situation there has not spread here." Jango-Fett looked around and asked, "Do we have any other reinforcements?"
"I have already reported to Governor Tang Xiao. He told me that Dawn Planet does not have the ability to carry out operations here on Mandalorian Planet. The Galactic Republic has been keeping an eye on it, and it is difficult for the Intelligence Department to carry out work here." The Hermit said.
"Is there any other news?" Jango-Fett asked again.
"Tang Xiao said that if it is Death Watch, then there is probably a former Sith Lord operating behind Death Watch. You should know this person..." Hermit glanced at him, "Dass-Maul."
"This news will only make the situation here worse." Jango-Fett said.
"I also looked for other mercenaries, such as Cade-Bane. But when he heard that you were coming, he refused the commission. So, it's just the two of us." Hermit spread his hands and said.
"Okay, so what did you find?" Jango-Fett asked.
"I discovered..." Hermit's tone gradually became a little bleak, "There is more darkness hidden in this galaxy than I imagined."
"Say something useful."
"We need to kidnap at least one resident of Sundari, and then see if we can find out how Death Watch controls Sundari. Only in this way can we have the basis for continuing to carry out the next step." Hermit immediately returned to the state of emotion.
When he said this, his heart trembled slightly, because he didn't expect that not long ago, he was the respected Jedi Master, but now he said the word kidnapping as if nothing had happened.
Then he looked at the Mandalorian Crusaders armor on Jango-Fett, which had experienced many battles and the paint on the surface was already mottled, and said, "It's just that you may have to change the color of your armor."
"It's my favorite color."
"Maybe you'll fall in love with the new color soon."
Meanwhile, Semirres Planet.
Acclamator-class assault ship's huge triangular hull broke into the planet's atmosphere, and seemed to be riding on a sea of fire amid the fierce air friction.
V-19 fighter jets covered Y-wing bomber and swooped down densely, bombing all targets that appeared among Fire Control Radar!
Semirres Planet Countless air defense positions have been set up on the ground. Countless anti-aircraft laser cannons and anti-aircraft missiles fired wildly. The laser beams and missiles almost tore a hole in the sky!
Facing the powerful ground anti-aircraft firepower, hundreds of LAAT assault transport took off from the hangar of Acclamator-class assault ship and flew towards the ground.
After a round of bombing with airborne rockets, LAAT assault transport landed one after another, the hatches opened, and a large number of Clone Trooper rushed out, each taking their positions to cover each other and move forward.
There were more LAAT/C carrier transport boats with AT-TE walkers hoisted below, and they dropped down one after another, placing the walkers on the ground. The operator who was already ready immediately drove the walking machine to join the battle. The super-heavy howitzer on his back immediately sprayed out long flames and fired powerful shells towards Semirians's position.
While there were not many Clone Army landing, Semirians decisively launched an attack!
Semirians are huge and powerful, and their gastropod body structure also gives them great load-bearing capacity. In the field of industrial manufacturing that they are good at, they can install various engineering equipment on their bodies, and even carry a cargo box full of materials on their bodies.
But in the field of war, what is installed on them are destructive weapons!
Semirians warriors wear heavy combat armor, with high-power blaster machine guns and even missile launchers installed on their backs. They hold energy shields with both hands to protect the front. While charging, they control the weapon sets on their backs to pour out extremely powerful firepower!
In the past, Semirians's finances were not enough to support them in building such a luxurious army, but after extensive cooperation with Dawn Star Planet, Semirians has made great progress in both industry and technology, and the economy has also improved a lot. They already have many army soldiers armed to the teeth like this!
Such a Semirians army charges, and the power it brings is no less than that of an armored corps!
If they weren't huge and not flexible enough, they would definitely be seen often in Confederacy of Independent Systems's army.
The powerful counterattack launched by Semirians put great pressure on Republic clone army. They had to stop their advance, avoid the opponent's sharp attack, and then call for air support.
