1388. Mask
Onderon capital, Izzy City.
Central Trade Tower, or rather, the former Central Trade Tower. Now the building, which is more than 800 meters high, has completely collapsed and turned into a huge ruin covering an area of more than one kilometer, completely cutting off several surrounding blocks including the main road!
Now it is impossible for ordinary vehicles to pass through here. It would take at least an hour to walk through the ruins. Therefore, the only option is Speeder or the spaceship.
However, now that Galactic Republic has gained control of the air, it is up to them to decide whether these flying things can pass through.
Surrounding the ruins, screams, wails, and cries of pain could be heard endlessly. Countless people were hit, injured, and killed by the debris caused by the collapse of the huge building. Many people cried out in despair, using various tools and even hands to dig in the ruins, trying to dig out their relatives and friends buried inside.
But this is impossible...
Among the ruins, you can see exposed stumps and broken arms everywhere, and you can also see dead gray hands reaching towards the sky, as if they want to grab the little bit of life when the building collapses.
This is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in the city. When General Kalani issued martial law, a large number of civilians were locked in and dared not come out. But now, this building has been directly blown up!
The casualties caused have been incalculable.
In the sky, a large group of Galactic Republic fighter squadrons flew by at low altitude. The V-19 light fighter jets covered the ARC-170 heavy fighter jets and accurately launched missiles and blaster beams, eradicating all surrounding fire points!
The violent explosion further increased the casualties in the surrounding area. Then, CSS-1 Republic-class shuttle one after another landed, the hatch opened, and a large number of Galactic Republic soldiers in gray military uniforms ran out quickly, and then rushed non-stop towards the core of the city.
As they advanced, more intensive gunshots and explosions came from the core direction.
Galactic Republic launched a raid directly in the core of the city! At this moment, Onderon army, including their robot army, have all been transferred to the outskirts of the city to resist the landing and advancement of Galactic Republic's main force. Now with the main roads cut off by collapsed buildings, they don't even have a chance to return for reinforcements!
The communicators in the hands of Anakin-Skywalker who had just finished the combat meeting rang again, and the almost crazy voices of Stila-Gerrera came, "You must give me an explanation!! Jedi Knight!! What on earth did you do?! What on earth did you do?! Do you know that this will cause serious civilian casualties!! I tried my best to save every civilian, but you killed tens of thousands of people with just one sentence!!! Why! Is this the answer you gave me? Jedi Knight!!"
Anakin-Skywalker's face didn't look good either. He blurted out and wanted to apologize, "Isn't that right..."
But he choked back the next words. He was Jedi Knight, and he was also Commander of this huge army. It was impossible for words like apology to appear in his mouth.
However, even if there are all kinds of reasons, massacre is massacre. He could completely blame Tarkin and Suo-Gerrera for this matter, but would this be useful? This will only make Stila-Gerrera look down on him even more.
Therefore, he could only suppress his thoughts as much as possible and said expressionlessly, "Now that Separatist army has been blocked outside the city, we can directly attack Unifar Temple. The war will be over soon."
"Ah... yes, the war will end soon, very soon." Stila-Gerrera's voice was trembling. Anakin could even imagine that the determined Rebel Alliance leader had tears in his eyes and an angry look on his face. "This is your plan... a good plan!"
Anakin-Skywalker took a deep breath and said, "End the war as soon as possible, and no more people will die. Maybe I did cause serious casualties, but as long as the war can be ended, there is still a chance to make up for everything."
"Are you using human life as a bargaining chip to calculate which is more important? Jedi Knight." A somewhat deep female voice suddenly came from the communication. Anakin remembered that it was the voice of the masked woman next to Stila.
Stila-Gerrera also said, "You don't understand at all! I should have known... When you wanted to train us and use us to overthrow the Separatists forces on the planet, when you saw the situation was bad and abandoned us and left, when you came again with a million troops, I should have known... You don't understand the people of Onderon at all! You don't understand! You don't care either!"
"I'm trying my best to help you!" Anakin raised his voice and shouted hysterically, "Onderon is Core Worlds! Inner Rim! Yet you are producing Behemoth-class battlecruiser here!! You should have known that Galactic Republic would never give up here! Republic army will arrive sooner or later! Then why are you still stubborn!!??"
"You should ask why the Sanji-Rush coup was successful!! You should ask why Old King Dumbledore still stepped down despite being so capable!! You should ask why the people of Onderon hate Galactic Republic so much!! You didn't! You were only thinking about Galactic Republic! And you never cared about what tens of millions of people on our planet want!!" Stila-Gerrera were also roaring.
"This is war!! You..." Anakin-Skywalker Before he could finish his words, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he realized a terrible fact——
Mask!
Yes, it's a mask!!
That woman! The woman standing next to Stila-Gerrera! She wears a very gorgeous mask! At that time, he felt that this mask seemed familiar, and now, he finally remembered it!
Tibrin! Depa-Master Barris!
Depa-Master Barris disappeared for a long time after Haruun Kal fallen to the Dark Side. When she reappeared, it was on Tibrin, during the coup of the Naishi-Tibu people. At that time, she was also wearing a very gorgeous mask on her face, and Master Windu recognized her figure at that time!
Although that mask is completely different from the mask of the woman next to Stila, the style is similar.
In other words, that woman is related to Depa-Master Barris? If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the woman is a corrupted Jedi Knight just like Depa-Barris?!
Anakin then thought of another terrible fact - Stila-Gerrera, have colluded with Separatists?
