1927. The ending of Felucia
"You should know very well that if you draw a sword against me, the final outcome will be death, right?" Das-Vader said coldly. He slowly raised Lightsaber in his hand and opened the sword.
This is his unique and improved sword stance, which looks like Fifth Form Swordsmanship Shien/Djem So-cable, but also has some characteristics of Third Form and Fourth Form lightsaber combat.
Seeing such sword power, even Sola-Balk's face became serious.
If it were someone else, Sola-Balk would definitely reprimand the other party for taking it for granted to modify the starting position of Lightsaber's sword technique. But standing in front of him at this moment is Darth-Vader, one of the strongest people in the entire galaxy!
Faced with such an existence, Sola-Balk would naturally not think that the adjustment of the opponent's sword force was just the result of taking it for granted.
Sola-Balk took a deep breath, and then took out another thing from his waist-a short-barreled blaster shotgun!
Then he slowly brought the blaster shotgun and the back end of the Lightsaber sword hilt together, forming a strange sword posture. It looks like both the so-called gun fighting technique and some kind of variation of Lightsaber swordsmanship, but in fact, this posture is a brand new technique using the short-barreled shotgun as another Lightsaber, based on the Lightsaber double sword swordsmanship Jar'Kai, supplemented by the movements of gun fighting!
Belongs to the sword master Sola-Balk's unique Lightsaber swordsmanship!
Sola-Balk constantly adjusts his breathing. As his breathing rhythm continues to adjust, the relationship between him and the Force is also in an optimal state.
Although it is impossible for his character to be shaken by the words of Darth-Vader, who in his opinion is just a stupid existence, but in fact, what Darth-Vader said is good...
Sola-Balk, indeed came to fight Darth-Vader with the mentality of sacrificing himself.
In fact, Sola-Balk was still a very famous and tough leader of the anti-war faction among Jedi Order even at the landmark point of the outbreak of Clone Wars, three months after the end of the first Battle of Geonosis.
In that Battle of Geonosis, Master Windu led more than 200 Jedi Knight to kill Geonosis, going to rescue the Separatists Obi-Wan-Kenobi was kidnapped, and Sola-Balk was one of the Jedi Knight who participated in this battle.
And he relied on his superb swordsmanship to fight his way out of countless battle robots in the arena battle.
Until that time, Sola-Balk still maintained a rational way of thinking about the development of the situation. He was still opposed to the war. He believed that if the war was allowed to break out, then both Galactic Republic and Jedi Order would deviate from their previous paths.
However, at that time, Count Dooku found him and told him that Galactic Republic had come to an end. This war would detonate almost all conflicts within Galactic Republic, thus pushing Galactic Republic to Abyss's destruction. Moreover, Count Dooku also told Sola-Balk that a powerful power must be established within the galaxy in order to eliminate those internal conflicts.
Count Dooku said that currently only Jedi Order still possesses moral and rational purity and supremacy. If Jedi Order can change and rule Galactic Republic with a more powerful attitude, then all the problems he worries about will be solved. The biggest problem at present is that Master Yoda and Master Windu, who lead Jedi Order, don't think much about it. Therefore, they are the culprits who prevent this galaxy from becoming stronger and more united.
This was originally just the way Count Dooku talked about people and ghosts at that time, but the problem was that because Count Dooku was so eloquent, Sola-Balk actually believed it!
He wholeheartedly believes that what he is doing is to save the galaxy, save Galactic Republic, and change Jedi Order. He has also prepared and trained for a long time for this. The result is that when Sola-Balk first fallen to the Dark Side, he didn't even have the slightest consciousness. He always thought that he was just in the state of walking between darkness and light when Juyo swordsmanship was used.
After that, Sola-Balk left Jedi Order under the bewitchment of Count Dooku, and joined Confederacy of Independent Systems to become one of the most powerful Dark Followers under Count Dooku. But his inner belief has never changed. He believes that he is fighting for Galactic Republic and fighting for Jedi Order!
But now, after witnessing the reorganization of Galactic Republic and the destruction of Jedi Order, Sola-Balk felt despair in his heart. He thought that his struggle had finally failed.
Therefore, in the original battle to guard Felucia, Sola-Balk was already determined to die. But now the powerful the Force fluctuations generated by the battle between Reaper and Darth-Vader attracted his attention. After rushing over to witness the battle, Sola-Balk decided to do more things before he died.
Das-Vader is Anakin-Skywalker. As one of Confederacy of Independent Systems's most powerful Dark Followers, this information Sola-Balk is naturally qualified for him to know.
Sola-Balk naturally hates this traitor who personally ordered Order 66 to destroy Jedi Order!
So he also made up his mind - no matter what Darth-Vader wants to do, he must stop it! If he intends to kill Adi-Master Gallia, who seems to be in a bad state, then he must not be allowed to succeed!
What's more, Sola-Balk, as Adi-Gallia's predecessor during the Jedi Order period, has a good impression of this smart-minded Jedi Master. At this time, Adi-Gallia will naturally be pulled.
Seeing that Reaper had run away, and it seemed that there was no chance to kill this powerful and strange Jedi Knight this time, Das-Vader was angry in his heart, and he walked towards Sola-Balk step by step!
If there is no way to kill Adi-Gallia, then killing Sola-Balk, one of the most powerful Confederacy of Independent Systems Dark Followers, is also a very good result!
Das-Vader suddenly rushed forward, and the bloody Lightsaber was slashed down with terrifying power in his hand!
Sola-Balk holds a sword in his left hand and a short-barreled shotgun in his right hand. He keeps firing and swinging his sword, combining distance and distance, using the coverage and range of the shotgun to limit the movement of Darth-Vader. At the same time, Lightsaber is fully deployed!
Seventh Form lightsaber combat, Juyo!
This powerful swordsmanship created by Mace-Master Windu, only three people in the entire galaxy, Windu, Sola-Balk, and Depa-Barris, can practice it to perfection!
Vaapad lightsaber form is extremely powerful, combining the violence of Dark Side's Seventh Form lightsaber combat Juyo and the stability of Light Side's swordsmanship. Engraved in the hands of Sola-Balk, he was even more cunning and vicious. With the short-barreled blaster shotgun, he actually suppressed Darth-Vader in an instant!
Just when the two men were fighting fiercely, they didn't realize that something unexpected happened in Felucia's outer space!
The current Felucia is being surrounded by 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyer and 3 Acclamator-class assault ship. These warships are deployed in planetary synchronous orbit, constantly sending more the Empire Stormtrooper to land, while also providing firepower reinforcements for ground forces and providing take-off and landing platforms for fighter formations.
And because Das-Vader defeated Reaper in the previous battle and chased him far away, the ground offensive that had been interrupted due to Reaper's harassment was launched again, with the target directed at the Kovietto city, the capital of Felucia!
For this offensive, Imperial army invested 100,000 troops, all clone warriors of Imperial Stormtroopers, and they were all well-equipped. Including the 1-M medium-sized hover tank developed to counter the Scorpion tank of Duchy of Dawn and upgraded from the TX-130 Saber hover tank, the 1-H heavy tank that is the backbone of the the Empire army and replaces the AT-TE walker, and the most powerful walking vehicle in the the Empire army at present - AT-AT!
In addition, there are a full 200,000 troops deployed as reserves behind.
The huge army broke into Kovietto city directly, and Confederacy of Independent Systems's robot army also put up a very determined resistance based on the urban terrain.
Therefore, in this battle, in order to maintain the ground offensive, Galactic Empire's fleet mostly focused on providing support for the ground battlefield.
And at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed out in the outer space of the planet! Immediately afterwards, a huge spaceship emerged from the hyperspace jump and appeared in the universe.
With a length of 4825 meters, a huge hull, and a sharp bow that looks like a bird's beak - it is the super battleship Confederacy of Independent Systems, Conqueror-class battleship!!
However, unlike the No. 1 ship Malevolence that was destroyed before, and the No. 2 ship Destruction that is currently under the Sefrans-Tann fleet, this battleship does not have dish-shaped devices on both sides for launching directional high-energy EMP, but is replaced by a pair of hemispherical devices.
These are Number Three Ship and Slaughter of Conqueror-class battleship! And equipped on this battleship is a secret weapon-Dragon's breath!
After Slaughter left hyperspace, it accelerated towards the planet. Galactic Empire fleet, which was in the planet-synchronous orbit, was unable to react for a while. When these warships began to turn around under the orders of their respective captains, Slaughter-class battleship had already approached the planet and entered the planet-synchronous orbit!
Conqueror-class battleship is not a warship that can fight freely in the atmosphere. Its huge body makes it difficult to move in the atmospheric environment. Slaughter's action also exceeded everyone's expectations, because it is equivalent to actively giving up mobility. It seems that it wants to confront Imperial fleet?
A Imperial-class Star Destroyer has already approached Slaughter-class battleship, and the two sides are exchanging fierce fire. The 500 medium-sized Turbolaser cannons equipped on Slaughter-class battleship fired dense beams of light and poured them on Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
And Imperial-class Star Destroyer also demonstrated the level of a new generation of warships, remaining firm even in the face of the powerful artillery bombardment of Slaughter-class battleship!
Now is no longer the era of Clone Wars, the era where Conqueror-class battleship can casually beat Hunter Class Battlecruiser. Even if there is only one Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it still has the firepower and protection to compete head-on with Conqueror-class battleship. Although the loser is definitely Imperial-class, considering the huge size gap between the two, it can actually explain the change of times and the update of equipment.
But Slaughter-class battleship was obviously not here for Imperial fleet. After the battleship entered the synchronous orbit, hemispherical bulge-like devices on both sides unfolded, and inside was a strange-looking launcher exuding green mist!
Dragon's breath!
Launcher of the biochemical virus Trihexalon! A super virus that can kill all living things on Death Star!
Before more Imperial-class Star Destroyers can arrive on the scene, Dragon's breaths open fire! Rays composed of green smoke were immediately launched to the surface of the planet, and the green smoke began to spread instantly! The color is getting lighter and lighter, the scope is getting wider and wider, and it is gradually sweeping towards the entire surface of the planet.
The first to bear the brunt is the planet's capital, Kovietto City, which is currently undergoing a fierce offensive and defensive battle!
Sola-Balk also noticed the spread of the virus in the Force's perception. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. Although the color of the poisonous gas could no longer be seen here, the extremely dangerous feeling coming from the Force also reminded him at all times that death was falling from the sky!
He also immediately understood that he had been abandoned...
Count Dooku issued an order to use Dragon's breath on Felucia. It is obvious that he would rather sacrifice the lives of more than 10 million civilians on the entire planet to eliminate all the main forces of Imperial Stormtroopers here!
When he issued this order, he obviously did not consider the life and death of Sola-Balk.
This old Weequay Dark Jedi Master looked at the sky, feeling lost. It doesn't matter that Count Dooku betrayed him, but for Sola-Balk, what is even more unacceptable is that Count Dooku betrayed his beliefs!
In the final analysis, he is not fighting for the freedom of the galaxy, nor is he fighting for a better future. What he is fighting for is only his own power and ambition!
"Dooku... When did you... abandon your ideals?" Sola-Balk sighed, and in his heart, the last trace of persistence was shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Darth-Vader's blood-red Lightsaber pierced the heart of Sola-Balk!!
At the same time, 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyer ships have arrived one after another and started a fierce exchange of fire with Slaughter-class battleship in the planet-synchronous orbit!
After persisting for more than two hours, Slaughter-class battleship was finally overwhelmed. During the continuous bombing by Imperial-class Star Destroyer, a violent explosion finally occurred. Fires ignited on the surface of the battleship, and then it fell uncontrollably!
