2487, Operation Poseidon (3)
As expected, Geonosians Queen Emperor Karina's nest was surrounded by countless Geonosian warrior caste. Seeing the the Empire soldiers coming, they all let out a burst of harsh shouts, cursed sharply in the local language, then raised their Sonic Blaster and fired wildly!
Orson-Krennic yelled and ran back, but Prophetess Dara grabbed the collar, twisted it back like a chicken and put it behind him. With his other hand, he waved the double-blade Lightsaber with one hand, deflecting all the incoming Blaster Beam.
However, those Sonic Blaster high-frequency sound waves still hurt Orson-Krennic. This senior general who was a technician had never seen such a battlefield before. He covered his ears and screamed like a pig being killed.
Immediately afterwards, the two Aquitenes-class light cruisers on standby in the sky lowered the power of their main guns and opened fire in the direction in which the Geonosian warriors flew out.
boom! boom! boom!! The fierce bombing blew everything around it into the sky, and the outside of the nest was riddled with holes and flames rising into the sky. Even underground passages in some places were exposed by the blast.
At this time, the Aquitenes-class light cruiser hatch opened, and hundreds of small spherical reconnaissance drones flew out. They flew in through the blasted gap and turned on X-ray scanning to image and investigate the entire inside of the nest.
Then hundreds of Stormtrooper came down in LAAT landing craft and rushed directly towards the depths of the lair.
Almost immediately, there was a burst of violent gunfire and explosions from inside.
"Let's go!" Prophetess Dara waved his hand and dragged Orson-Krennic in.
Emperor Karina The lair where I stayed before was not deep, but there was nothing here. There were only a few empty and deep passages that led to nowhere.
"This bastard! She must have planned it! I told her before that she is not allowed to dig holes in the mountain! You can only dig up to this point! All Geonosians's incubation work is done in the incubation room built outside!" Orson-Krennic said angrily, pointing to a bombed building outside the nest.
That building is very large, and it is the incubation place for millions of Geonosians workers. The most advanced instruments and equipment were once installed inside to ensure the smooth progress of incubation. At the same time, each hatched worker would be given a metal stamp.
That's right, Galactic Empire treats these Geonosians like livestock, regardless of the fact that they are also a high-tech race with a glorious civilization and developed industry. All the Empire wants is to squeeze their labor force.
Prophetess Dara glanced at the building and said coldly, "Obviously, this Your Majesty is not very obedient. Go in and drag her out!"
He waved his hand, and Death Trooper immediately separated out a few people, opened the portable shields, and walked towards the depths of the potholes.
A fierce exchange of fire broke out almost immediately, but it was obvious that those Geonosians were no match for Death Guard at all, and were beaten back steadily. In other directions, the Empire Stormtrooper was resolutely blocked and progress was slow.
Outside the nest, a large number of Geonosian Warriors sensed the call of Geonosian Queen from the link of the hive consciousness, and they flew over here one after another.
However, what awaited them was the cold muzzle of two Aquitenes-class light cruiser!
Aquitenes-class light cruiser is firing on all cylinders. Those point defense laser cannons are no longer used to attack fighter jets. Instead, they are used to shoot those Geonosians flying all over the sky. The efficiency is extremely high! Countless Geonosians were shot by point defense laser cannons, and exploded and evaporated instantly, turning into balls of green blood mist.
The close firepower network of the two Aquitenes-class light cruisers actually made it impossible for tens of thousands of Geonosianss to get close. Tens of thousands of people were shot and killed in a very short period of time!
But Geonosians was still approaching one after another. The sky didn't dare to come, so they approached from the ground. But even so, they were still bombarded by Aquatens-class Turbolaser guns, resulting in heavy casualties.
So these Geonosians had to enter through underground passages from other places and go to reinforcements through the underground pipe network secretly excavated in the past few years. But this way, the speed is much slower.
At this time, Orson-Krennic, protected by Prophetess Dara, headed towards the depths of the underground pipe network. There was nothing Geonosians that could stop them along the way. In this narrow pit, their numerical advantage could not be used, and they could only be massacred piece by piece.
At the same time, deep in the lair, Ganzo Daosuo shouted to their Queen: "Your Majesty, we must leave as soon as possible! Kingdom of Dawn's spaceship is at the exit of Channel 7, but they will only wait for us for half an hour!"
"No! We want to occupy Death Star! Then leave with Death Star! Our engineers have secretly completed the installation of the hyperspace engine, and those workers have continued to work overtime, resulting in a large number of deaths. Now as long as we can occupy Death Star, we will win!" Emperor Karina said.
"It's too late to capture Death Star! The Empire's reinforcement fleet will come at any time, and we will be completely unable to escape by then!" Ganzo Daosuo said eagerly.
"We have the advantage now! My people have destroyed the shield generator, and now Death Star has no protection. We still have millions of soldiers inside Death Star! As long as it takes a little more time, Death Star will be occupied!" Emperor Karina didn't listen at all.
Ganzuo Daosuo had nothing to say. He nodded heavily and continued to gather with the Geonosian warriors to block those the Empire Death Guards who were coming from outside the passage.
Now inside Death Star, the situation is indeed that Geonosians has the advantage. They relied on their numerical advantage to defeat Imperial defense forces who organized the defense. Moreover, Imperial-class's fighter jets rushed into Death Star for reinforcements, but were shot down by Kingdom of Dawn's ace pilots flying Wraith fighter. Now in the space inside Death Star, Imperial army does not even have air superiority!
After Nova and Protoss Dark Templar Voradul killed Dark Prophet Tana, Imperial army here lost unified command and was no longer a threat. They continued to attack Death Star's energy core, preparing to completely destroy it.
According to calculations, as long as the energy core can be destroyed, it will take at least five more years for the Galactic Empire to complete the construction plan of Death Star.
These five years have been enough for Kingdom of Dawn to capture Coruscant all the way!
The so-called Operation Poseidon is a suicidal plan to sacrifice Geonosians in exchange for an opportunity to destroy Death Star!
