179. Everyone is happy

Fourth Group fleet put on a defiant attitude, and Tang Xiao also kept urging Corporate Alliance's spacecraft to evacuate first.

Now that the General Trench flagship is destroyed, these mercenaries are also leaderless, and they suddenly have no backbone. Now when they heard that someone was willing to break off, they all thanked them profusely, retreated under the cover of Fourth Group fleet, distanced themselves, and then entered hyperspace to escape.

In fact, after Trench's flagship was destroyed, Republic fleet's offensive was completely exhausted. Lordship-class heavy cruiser was also severely damaged and continued to retreat. The other spaceships also suffered heavy losses. Facing Fourth Group fleet, which was still in good condition, they had no intention of fighting at all.

Under the instruction of Tang Xiao, Igor directed Fourth Group fleet to press forward for a while, and then began to guard the line and no longer attack.

After fighting for a while, Kep-Axi and the two apprentices were exhausted. They flew the fighter jet close to Lord, entered from the still burning Hangar Platform, took a break and got some minimal supplies.

After the last Corporate Alliance spacecraft left, Tang Xiao nodded towards Baron Zemo.

Baron Zemo opened the public channel, stood in front of the communicator, and said, "Inform Malastare's mercenary fleet, this is Corporate Alliance mercenary fleet, we admit defeat, are willing to lift the blockade, and leave Malastare Narrows."

"Asshole! This is Republic fleet! Not the Malastare mercenary fleet!" Wullf-Yularen said sternly, covering his arm that was injured in the explosion just now.

"So, you want to say that Republic fleet ignored Galactic Senate's decision and sent troops to intervene in the commercial dispute between Malastare Fuel Group and Corporate Alliance without authorization?" Baron Zemo was very eloquent, and his words were like swords piercing the vital points. He pointed at the Sikudian pirates who were in such a mess that they couldn't even escape, "Or do you think Republic fleet was beaten by such a group of pirates and sent out a distress signal?"

"You!!!" Wullf-Yularen wanted to curse back, but found that he was speechless.

"That's enough. Since you want to withdraw your troops, let this dispute end here!" Cape-Xi walked into the bridge and said.

Seeing that Jedi Master had expressed their opinions, Wullf-Yularen didn't know what to say, so they shook their heads and stepped aside.

"This is exactly what I want to express." Baron Zemo nodded with a strange expression, "Jedi Master..."

Kep-Xi felt a little upset for no reason. She actually felt a sense of crisis from this person. She asked, "Before leaving, you must tell your origins!"

"We are from...Fourth Group." Baron Zemo said.

After saying that, Wraith fighter began to return to the spacecraft, and then Fourth Civilization's fleet turned around, entered hyperspace and left.

"Fourth Group?" Wullf-Yularen frowned, "I have heard of this emerging company recently. But..."

He started to search on the computer, "Registration location, Jakku? What is that place?"

"There is no doubt that it is another enterprise that hides its head and shows its tail, full of copper odor." Cape Qian said coldly, "I have heard that Master Qui-Gon-Jin and his apprentice Obi-Wan-Kenobi have investigated this company before, but there seems to be no result. There seems to be a huge force behind it to help them hide their true identity."

Wullf-Yularen sighed, "Thank you very much this time, Master Cape. I will take the responsibility for this defeat..."

"Follow your heart, Captain Yularen. Maybe you failed, but you are heading in the right direction." Kep-Xian said lightly, "Let failure become the energy for your growth, the Force will always be with you."

After entering hyperspace, Tang Xiao looked at the light passing by outside the window and felt a little bored. He stood up and went to the medical room.

A Bacta tank is installed inside, which is a very advanced medical equipment in "Star Wars". In a glass jar more than 2 meters high, General Trench, whose body is covered with pipelines, is being soaked in Bacta fluid. He has multiple burns and fractures on his body, and several robotic arms are picking out the fragments and bone residue inserted into his body.

In the previous explosion, General Trench was blown out of the rescue capsule together with the door that was not closed, and was rescued by the spacecraft sent by Tang Xiao. And I have to say that Hatchian's vitality is really very strong, and he still has one breath left under such circumstances.

However, General Trench was under anesthesia at the moment, and Tang Xiao had no choice but to talk to him, so he returned to the bridge.

This battle can be said to be following the trend, seeking some benefits without changing the plot as much as possible. Rescue General Trench, get the bounty, sell it to Dryden-Vos and Moloch, which is a big favor, and let your fleet get valuable practical experience. It can be said that it is a big profit.

But the real challenge is yet to come...

The mottled light outside disappeared instantly, and the fleet left hyperspace and came to a desolate planet. Baron Zemo took out the communicator and started taking action.

"Super Lotus, you can start now."

Battle of Malastare Canyon As a result, Corporate Alliance's fleet completely failed and the mercenary fleet dispersed. The governor of the Corporate Alliance, Parcell Argent, had to sit on the negotiating table again and start negotiations with Malastare.

However, this blockade also frightened Malastare. They also fully realized that it was impossible for them to compete with the Corporate Alliance, and Galactic Republic was also very likely to be unreliable.

So during the negotiations, the defeated Corporate Alliance representative was arrogant, while the defeated Malastare representative was timid. The final result was that Corporate Alliance "magnanimously" took a step back and reduced the fuel tax to a level that Malastare could bear.

However, the representative of Malastare was extremely happy and believed that his struggle had finally succeeded.

On Galactic Republic's side, it was naturally impossible to admit that they had failed in Malastare Narrows, so they mobilized the media to publicize their victory. This embarrassing battle was rendered into a crushing victory over Corporate Alliance, and Jedi Order also played an important role in it. It was Jedi Knight that sank Corporate Alliance fleet's flagship, giving Galactic Republic a complete victory.

Corporate Alliance's side originally didn't expect that the fuel tax, which could be said to have driven Malastare to a dead end, could really be increased this time. After all, we can't reap the benefits. This time, they not only increased some fuel taxes to increase their income, but also tested the weak nature of Galactic Republic under its strong appearance, so they paid the bounty generously.

A happy ending.
