1387. Explosion
"Hurry! Get in the car!" Stila-Gerrera urged eagerly.
Here, dozens of civilians with frightened expressions boarded the truck with the assistance of the Rebel Alliance soldiers. The trucks moved into formation and headed away from the battlefield.
The sound of artillery was still rumbling all around, and countless artillery fires streaked through the night sky with a death-like sound.
Stila picked up the communicator and said, "There are more than a thousand civilians in the southern section of Seventh Avenue. Please arrange for someone to respond to them."
However, Anakin-Skywalker's somewhat impatient voice came from the other end of the communicator, "I am currently on a combat mission. Please contact our logistics."
Stila-Gerrera frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. Anakin said before that she would cooperate with him in evacuating civilians, but now she was indifferent. She felt that she had been deceived.
However, at this moment, an extremely violent explosion suddenly came from the distance! And this explosion sound is completely different from the one-time short explosions of those fighter jets falling or missile bombings. It is an extremely violent burst, and it is accompanied by countless crackling explosions!
"What happened?" Stila-Gerrera immediately became alert.
"Sister! It's not good! It's not good!!" A Rebel Alliance soldier ran over in a hurry, "Central Trade Tower! It was blown up!!"
"What did you say?! Central Trade Tower?!" Even though Stila-Gerrera had been tempered by countless battles, the Will was already extremely determined, and she jumped up directly, "That is a building with a height of more than 800 meters!! There are at least tens of thousands of civilians stranded inside!!"
"That's right! The building... the building was directly destroyed! It fell down! The surrounding area was almost completely covered with smoke and dust!!" Rebel Alliance soldier said.
"This is impossible! Central Commercial Building is very strong. Even if it is bombed by Proton Torpedo, it will not collapse instantly! Unless it is a direct explosion from the inside out!" Stila said, "What happened?"
But this is just the beginning!
The communicators of several Rebel Alliance soldiers in charge of communication kept ringing, and they began to summarize the information they received. One of the soldiers raised his head and looked at Stila in confusion, "Sister...Sky Tower, King's Office Building, West City Entertainment Center were all bombed... all collapsed..."
"North City Tokarev Tower, Red Gold Tower was bombed!"
"East City Tatako Tower collapsed!"
"This is definitely a premeditated attack! Report the situation in these areas immediately!" Stila-Gerrera said loudly.
A Rebel Alliance soldier put down the communicator with a pale face, "There was no warning! There was no warning at all! The civilians inside didn't have time to escape, and the casualties... I'm afraid..."
"Even our people have lost contact with nine teams!" another soldier said.
When Seth heard the news, he rushed up and grabbed Stila-Gerrera by the collar and yelled, "This is Galactic Republic!! Ah!? This is Galactic Republic!!"
"Confirm the situation of Galactic Republic!" Stila said with a solemn face.
"Galactic Republic started half an hour ago, taking off a large number of transport ships to penetrate into the core of the city..." the liaison officer said.
"Did they really do it?" Stila's face was ashen.
Judgment, who had been standing aside and watching with cold eyes, raised his wrist at this time, clicked on Omni-tool, called up the map of Izzy City, and then entered the directions of the destroyed buildings.
She looked at it and said, "If these buildings were destroyed, then the main thoroughfare of Izzy City would now be blocked by ruins."
She directly projected the holographic map and marked the location of the explosion. Sure enough, the places where the explosions occurred formed a circle on the map, surrounding the core of the city in the middle!
Stila-Gerrera's body was trembling a little. "According to the information from our intelligence personnel, the person commanding Izzy City's army is Akhenaten-Tandin. His recent combat action... is... to dispatch more troops to the front line to block the advancement of Republic army."
"That's right! That's it! Understand it! This is Galactic Republic!" Seth, who had been held by two big and thick Rebel Alliance warriors, was still yelling there.
In the sky, another group of transport ships roared past under the escort of fighter jets.
"My people have been hiding in buildings near some of the city's main arterial roads for a long time, and have planted bombs near load-bearing structures in advance." In the outer orbit of Onderon, in the command center of Acclamator-class assault ship, the front of Cable-Gerrera He spoke ferociously, "So, the main forces of Akhenaten-Tandin are mobilizing towards the periphery, and now the explosions in these places have cut off their retreat. Now, the city Core Worlds has been isolated."
"Did you have a plan in advance?" Anakin-Skywalker looked gloomy, "How on earth did you place bombs in so many buildings?"
"It's not that difficult. A vehicle parked next to the load-bearing pillar in the parking lot, an inconspicuous trash can, a luggage bag that no one cares about, anything is possible." Suo-Gerrera said, "Do you think General Kalani has the intention to manage the city's security? Hehehehe, this robot will only calculate the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and then ask Tandin to expand the number of conscripts again and again!"
"Hahahaha! Well done!" Wilhuff-Tarkin laughed while stroking his hands, "The bargaining chip you gave is really great! So-Gerrera! Now, I have ordered my army to directly attack the core of the city! I believe that within a few hours, Unifar Temple will be defeated by me! Hahahahaha!"
"Trading chips? What on earth are you planning!" Anakin-Skywalker asked sharply.
"I will become Onderon's, king." Suo-Gerrera sneered and faced Anakin, "I must thank you, General Skywalker. It was you who taught me these techniques, and it was you who trained me in combat skills. At the same time, it was you who provided us with weapons and bombs."
"But I didn't teach you to do this!!! Are all the civilians in those buildings?!?" Anakin-Skywalker was furious.
"I will end the war in one day." Suo-Gerrera said coldly, "Why don't you calculate how many lives I saved? Moreover, I should thank you. Because your troops advanced slowly, you attracted the main force of Tandin towards the outside of the city. So, you did it on purpose? General Anakin."
Wilhuff-Tarkin said, "In my opinion, this result is not perfect, because the deterrence is not enough. However, the capture of Izzy City in one day is enough to make those young people weigh their own weight before resisting us."
