1576. The ending of the Second Systems Army
Count Dooku has firmly gained the advantage, and Mace-Windu has completely lost the ability to fight back.
The seventh form of the violent swordsmanship, Juyo, is now unable to be violent. It is like a beast locked in a cage. It only has the ferocious claws and long teeth, but there is no threat.
Just like Second Systems Army led by him, they have become trapped animals in a cage and can only sit and wait for death!
"No! No! This is impossible! You should not be my opponent, Dooku!" Mace-Windu roared loudly, and the purple Lightsaber slashed down with extremely powerful momentum.
In fact, in the early days when both of them were still at Jedi Order, they would sometimes compete, but generally they were evenly matched. Both were masters of swordsmanship, and both had reached the pinnacle, so basically they both won and lost, and the two gained a lot from such competitions.
However, as time went by, the philosophical differences between Dooku and Windu became larger and larger. Later, even in Jedi Order, the two were basically strangers, let alone friendly discussions.
However, after Master Windu created Vaapad lightsaber form, through various verifications, it is basically recognized that Vaapad lightsaber form has a strong restraint relationship with Form II Makashi's swordsmanship that Dooku is good at.
In addition, Dooku directly fallen to the Dark Side, but Form VII Juyo can get a lot of bonuses in the battle against Dark Side. Because Vaapad lightsaber form uses the Force in completely different ways, the negative effects of Dark Side can be enhanced for users of Juyo.
Therefore, Master Windu has always been confident that he is definitely better than Count Dooku, and their confrontation in Tull Planet also proved this. And as Count Dooku gets older, Master Windu, who is in middle age, also has more and more advantages.
However, now, he found that he was no match for Count Dooku! Such a gap is completely unacceptable to Mace-Windu!
I only saw Count Dooku Blitz drawing out his sword, and the blood-red crank Lightsaber stabbed Windu's sword three times in a row. Windu instantly found that his the Force movement was stagnant! Seizing the flaw at this moment, Count Dooku raised his hand and grabbed it. A console on the battleship was immediately torn off by the Force and hit Master Windu hard!
Bang! Master Windu was knocked several meters away by this blow. However, just as he was retreating continuously, Count Dooku arrived first, and Lightsaber stabbed straight at him!
Mace-Windu was already unable to resist, and the sword stabbed directly into his left mechanical eye! If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly, the stab would have been so strong that his head would have been damaged immediately.
However, even so, the terrifying high temperature generated by being stabbed by Lightsaber directly burned Mace-Windu's wounds, causing him to scream in agony!
At this moment, the voice of Sefrans-Tann suddenly came from the communication, "There is a shuttle plane and a fighter jet flying over at high speed. Our anti-aircraft fire cannot stop it. It should be Jedi Knight."
"Oh? It seems that your companion has arrived. Who is it? Ji-Adi-Mundi? Now I am quite looking forward to fighting him. Let me wait for him, and you, it is a pity, then I can't see it either..." Count Dooku said lightly, lifting Lightsaber to prepare for the final blow to Mace-Windu.
However, at this moment, to everyone's surprise, the ETA-2 fighter jet opened fire! Two Proton Torpedo flew at high speed and suddenly exploded on the bridge of the battleship! Endurance is basically in a paralyzed state. Without Deflector Shield, these two Proton Torpedo have exerted their greatest power!
boom! boom!!! The devastating explosion immediately blasted a big hole in the bridge, and everything inside was sucked out by the vacuum!
After this crazy move, the Lambda-class shuttlecraft next to it passed by at high speed, grabbed Mace-Windu with a tractor beam, and turned around without slowing down at all!
Count Dooku, who stabilized his body in the airflow of vacuum suction and used Force protection to hold himself, was extremely angry. He raised his hand and grabbed the two-person Lightsaber next to Savage-Opress, and he threw it directly towards the relatively closer fighter!
This sword is so fast that even an ordinary electromagnetic gun cannot reach it under the acceleration of the Force! Pierce a big hole directly in the ETA-2 fighter jet!
The fighter jet suddenly emitted billowing smoke, and then it lost the ability to control and rolled in space. The next second, the anti-aircraft firepower launched from Destruction directly exploded the fighter jet into a ball of fire!!
However, the Lambda-class shuttlecraft has disappeared into the horizon.
Don't forget, even if a raid is launched, Sefrans-Tann still leads only Destruction and dozens of other small warships. They are still deep in the center of the Second Systems Army fleet's formation. Although Second Systems Army has been defeated, their existing warship strength still has the advantage.
Count Dooku looked at the direction in which the spacecraft disappeared, his eyes full of anger!
"You actually saved a life! Mace-Windu!" Count Dooku gritted his teeth, "Is it a coincidence? Is it luck? Or is it destiny? No... destiny, it should be returned to darkness!"
The Lambda-class shuttlecraft that rescued Mace-Windu did not stay, but flew directly away from the battlefield.
This Galactic Republic latest equipped shuttle is specially used to pick up and drop off the most important people, without considering the cost at all. Therefore, safety and speed are all top-notch configurations.
In this chaotic battlefield, it is already an impossible task to find this shuttle.
Although Count Dooku, who returned to Destruction, was furious, he could only accept the reality that Master Windu had escaped from a desperate situation. He couldn't blame Sefrans-Tann. After all, relying on conventional anti-aircraft firepower, it was almost impossible to shoot down the top fighter jet flown by Jedi Master.
And the behavior of the Lambda-class shuttlecraft to save the Master Windu is called crazy!
The first is to launch Proton Torpedo directly at the bridge. This shot can be avoided by Count Dooku who is at the peak of his condition, but it is fatal for Master Windu who has been seriously injured! If you don't pay attention, he will be blown to pieces.
Then he used a tractor beam to catch Master Windu, which was equally crazy! You know, tractor beams are generally used by spacecraft to grab cargo in space. They are equivalent to an invisible crane, which is actually very convenient.
But the tractor beam can only grab metal objects! Master Windu became a high-level paraplegic after Haruun Kal was seriously injured by Depa-Barris and Archangel of Death. He could only undergo mechanized transformation, so of course there is metal on his body.
It's just that in this case, the mechanical prosthetic limb on his body is grabbed by the tractor beam and then flies at high speed, which is equivalent to constantly tearing apart the mechanical prosthetic limb on his body! Such pain is unimaginable! And even if Mace-Windu can escape from the battlefield, it is still a question of whether they can survive.
It can only be said that the person who came to save him had already thought about the most difficult plan, and in order to increase the success rate of escape, that person sacrificed everything he could!
Of course, after the Second Systems Army's highest Commander Mace-Windu fled the battlefield, the leaderless Second Systems Army main fleet had almost come to an end.
In fact, before communication is restored, it doesn't matter whether the group is leaderless or not, because those warships have no idea that Master Windu has escaped. Therefore, they continued to be harvested by the fleet led by Sefrans-Tann.
In such a desperate battle situation, many warships chose to surrender - Separatists continuously issued signals on the radio, telling those warships that as long as they turned off their engines and lowered their shields, it would be regarded as a surrender and they would not be attacked.
This time the communication interference is not continuous. As mentioned before, a mere 80 Sentry-class Electronic Warfare Frigates are not enough to shake the communication system of the entire Second Systems Army main fleet. After all, the firewalls of those large battleships are not just decorations. Their energy levels are much higher, and they cannot cause interference under normal circumstances.
Therefore, after the magnetic field explosion generated by Destruction detonating Electromagnetic Nebula subsided, Second Systems Army's communication was finally restored.
At this time, they got the news that their Supreme Leader Mace-Windu was missing!
It's not just that Mace-Windu is missing! And the information obtained from the survivors of Endurance showed that he had killed his own Fleet Commander Admiral Sopronos before! The reason why there are survivors on Endurance is because the surviving officers and soldiers on the battleship chose to surrender as soon as they saw Master Windu being rescued by the shuttle.
Not to mention, in the subsequent battle, the entire Fleet Staff Department and senior officers on Endurance were also directly killed! The entire command system equivalent to the Second Systems Army has been paralyzed.
Of course, compared with the paralysis of the command system, the collapse of the morale and fighting spirit of the Second Systems Army officers and soldiers at all levels is a fatal problem!
More and more warships surrendered, and after communications were restored, the number of warships discussing surrendering together also increased.
Less than three hours after Mace-Windu was rescued, the battle that took place near Antewei Planet was completely over.
Second Systems Army main fleet, surrender!
Second Systems Army A total of 118 battleships participated in the Antewei System battle, including 80 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, 5 Invincible-class battleship, 25 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, and 8 Victory I-class Star Destroyer.
There are also 325 small and medium-sized warships, including 90 Aquitenes-class light cruiser, 50 Kallak-class light cruiser, 50 Armed Consular-class cruiser, 50 CR-70 frigates, 80 DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, and 5 Revelation-class light cruiser.
During the battle, 27 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, 5 Invincible-class battleship, 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser and 3 Victory I-class Star Destroyer were destroyed or paralyzed, and more than half of the small and medium-sized warships were lost.
After Master Windu disappeared, all remaining warships surrendered!
After excluding those warships that were seriously damaged and were better to be dismantled than repaired, Sefrans-Tann received a total of 42 Hunter Class, 5 Dreadnought-class and 5 Victory I-class.
The small and medium-sized warships received 59 Aquitenes-class light cruiser, 16 Kallak-class light cruiser, 40 Armed Consular-class cruiser, 2 CR-70 frigates, 21 DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, and 5 Revelation-class light cruiser.
Among them, Armed Consular-class cruiser is because its firepower is too weak, so almost no one wants to pay attention to them. After all, it was originally an unarmed spaceship, and later installed turrets to join the battle, so so many of them have been preserved.
Revelation-class light cruiser was intentionally retained by Sefrans-Tann and did not attack them. After all, after these warships surrender, they can be directly incorporated into the naval establishment of Duchy of Dawn, and they don't even need to be modified.
As for the CR-70 frigates, Kallak-class light cruiser and Invincible-class battleship, these warships that were eliminated in Galactic Republic Navy were almost completely wiped out due to insufficient combat capabilities.
In this battle, not all Second Systems Army participated. Half of their warships remained in Galos IV planet and Mandalore. After receiving the news that the main fleet had been annihilated, these warships immediately left the star field and returned to Galactic Republic.
The other two fleets were commanded by the fallen Dark Jedi Master Ji-Adi-Mundi, and Ray Gur. After sensing the danger, they flew their fighter planes away to Antewei System, finally saving Master Windu, but they also lost control of their fleet.
Those Second Systems Army officers and soldiers were not very willing to betray Galactic Republic, and many of them were just coerced. Therefore, after suffering a disastrous defeat, they abandoned Master Windu and the others without hesitation.
Now these officers and soldiers want to take away their merits and hope that their actions in bringing the fleet back will make Supreme Military Court forgive them for their previous treasonous behavior.
However, the verdict one month later showed that these people obviously thought too much. They were all punished with serious crimes by Supreme Military Court. After executing several of the officers, the rest were all sent to the mining area to mine - of course, this is all a story later.
While Destruction was cleaning the battlefield, the fighter jet that was pierced by Lightsaber thrown by Count Dooku and then destroyed by Destruction's anti-aircraft firepower was also recovered.
The mutilated body of the driver could no longer be distinguished. It could even be said that it was just a few lumps of burnt rotten flesh. But Count Dooku knew the identity of this person through the Force's perception - Jedi Master, Ray Gur.
So this basically confirms that the person driving the Lambda-class shuttlecraft is none other than Ji-Adi-Mundi!
It was precisely because of his strong strength and control that he was able to make such extreme moves and rescue Master Windu from under Count Dooku's nose.
After cleaning the battlefield, Count Dooku said something to Sefrans-Tann about recruiting, and then returned to Raxus Prime with Dark Titan Warship, who had been watching the show from a distance from Yavin System.
