2535. The massacre of Destruction

Kashyyyk planet Ground.

Galactic Empire's ground troops are launching an attack on a Wookiees city. Under the fire cover of 10 huge AT-AT walkers, tens of thousands of Stormtrooper wearing white armor are advancing towards the settlement behind the 2-M heavy suspension tanks.

The AT-AT walker stood condescendingly, and the twin Turbolaser cannons mounted on its head fired continuously. The devastating firepower blew up the firepower point set by Wookiees in the jungle to pieces.

Wookiees also resisted resolutely. They hid in the woods and under the rocks, and used their own explosive crossbows to fight back. In the sky, Wookiees also drove the kind of low-altitude thopter they produced with excellent low-altitude performance to carry out aerial attacks on Imperial Stormtroopers again and again.

Their number is several times that of Imperial Stormtroopers, and each Wookiees warrior is extremely powerful. Their tough and thick hair can even withstand Blaster rifle's high temperature to a certain extent. Coupled with their Rock-like muscles, both speed and strength are far beyond the limits of ordinary people.

This is a confrontation between flesh and steel. Galactic Empire has obviously suffered losses in previous battles. Now they have learned their lesson and all combat operations rely on their powerful armored forces. AT-AT walkers provide fire support, AT-ST bipedal walkers act as partial Fulcrum, and 2-M heavy-duty suspension tanks are constantly interspersed... Such tactics make it impossible for Wookiees's powerful individual strength to be used. After all, even Indjori, known as the strongest fighting race in the galaxy, cannot withstand the Turbolaser cannon.

In the sky, two Acclamator-class assault ship hovered at a low altitude of 10,000 meters above the ground. Their firepower was even more devastating. No Wookiees combat group dared to be exposed.

The TIE/LN light fighter jets wreaked havoc in the sky, relying on their high-speed and high-maneuverability advantages to hunt down those Wookiees Thopters, which were at best slightly faster than helicopters. The only thing that can threaten these fighter jets is the few anti-aircraft guns of Wookiees.

There is no doubt that this is a completely unequal battle.

However, Wookiees did not back down, and they will definitely not back down. Wookiees has a deep-seated hatred for the Galactic Empire, and they will never give up resistance.

Because Wookiees had been exploited and oppressed by Trade Federation for a long time before Clone Wars broke out. It was the support and help of Jedi Order and Galactic Republic that allowed Wookiees to become independent. Therefore, for Wookiees, Galactic Republic and Jedi Order are all their benefactors.

At the same time, the social structure of Wookiees is relatively loose. They prefer independent and autonomous political systems, and they will never accept a totalitarian government that uses many rules and regulations to restrict themselves.

Therefore, Galactic Republic and Jedi Order were destroyed, and totalitarian politics was used to exploit them. At the same time, Human Supremacy was pursued, and all foreigners, including Wookiees, were brutally discriminated against and oppressed. These Company One factors make Wookiees one of the biggest opponents of the Galactic Empire.

Since the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Wookiees's uprising and resistance have not stopped in the past ten years. This gave Galactic Empire a headache, and they had to send troops to suppress it. And Wookiees has a powerful combat capability. One Wookiees can easily wipe out a whole team of Imperial Stormtroopers, so the number of troops stationed here cannot be too small.

In the process of constant resistance and increasing troops, Galactic Empire has now built more than ten military bases, seven spaceports, and three large space stations in Kashyyyk planet, plus a strong garrison of 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyer. There are more than 100,000 ground troops!

The reason why this planet was not completely burned into glass was mainly because the geographical location of Kashyyyk planet was too important. Moreover, Wookiees is tenacious, and ordinary Orbital Bombardment will not only be unable to eliminate them, but will also make Galactic Empire himself unable to gain a foothold here.

However, Galactic Empire also used other methods besides burning glass. These include igniting jungle fires, releasing poison gas on a large scale, non-stop bombing, destroying cities and settlements, public executions of arrested young, old, women and children, etc.

But it was useless, Wookiees's resistance never stopped for a day.

As for the democratic congressmen of Imperial Senate, headed by Bail-Organa, they have been accusing Imperial military of genocide all day long. They not only put pressure on the parliament, but also put pressure on public opinion, constantly making Imperial army lose face.

So in fact, sometimes why Imperial military strongly supports the DS-1 combat space station plan is because once Death Star is completed, any problems can be directly bombed, and I will explain to you after the bombing, and things will be much simpler. Unlike now, it takes a long time to destroy a planet. Once time passes, all kinds of changes will happen.

However, this time, Galactic Empire's offensive against Wookiees, a city hidden in the jungle, suddenly stopped!

I only saw the TIE/LN fighters in the sky turning around and flying towards Acclamator-class assault ship in mid-air. Imperial-class Stormtroopers also turned around and retreated. The AT-AT walkers began to suppress fire and prepare to break up the rear.

The Wookiees warrior who was fighting bloody battles in the jungle was a little confused for a moment, because Imperial Army had completely controlled the battlefield, the torrent of steel was unstoppable, and Wookiees was ready to fight to the death.

The inspired Wookiees warriors howled loudly and rushed out of the jungle. While roaring, they fired wildly at the the Empire Stormtrooper who were retreating hastily, venting their anger.

However, at this moment, one of the Wookiees warriors pointed at the sky and let out a loud roar.

More soldiers began to notice the changes in the sky. They raised their heads one after another, only to see an extremely terrifying scene!

An endless expanse of fiery red spread across the sky, the sky was burning, and the clouds were ignited! Under the huge impact, even the cloudy sky was torn apart.

Immediately after, countless fire rains fell from the sky!

Yes, literally, rain of fire!

Large and small fireballs fell from the sky, carrying burning flames and billowing smoke, and crashed to the ground, setting off waves of devastating explosions.

As those fireballs continued to fall, the flames on the surface also extinguished, and people saw that what fell were countless twisted metal debris!

It is completely unimaginable how much debris fell, and the damage caused by the continuous rain of fire was even greater than the previous bombing of the Galactic Empire.

So much so that some the Empire transport ships that were flying into the sky were hit by the debris in the sky because they could not avoid it. Then they exploded and disintegrated, turning into part of the debris.

The Wookiees soldiers who were still pursuing victory just now howled and hid in their underground bunkers. At this time, they suddenly felt that the sky seemed to become brighter, and the surroundings were reflected in blood red by the dazzling flames.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a huge triangular rhombus-shaped warship, burning all over and falling towards the ground!

Not only one ship, but also a second ship and a third ship!

Some of these warships were broken into two parts, and some of them could no longer distinguish their structures at all. But the same thing is that they all burst into flames and exploded everywhere, and the flames and thick smoke lit up the entire sky!

Finally, one of the battleships crashed to the ground, followed by an extremely dazzling flash of light that even covered up the sun's rays!

There was no sound, no heat wave, just a gentle breeze... Then, the earth began to tremble, accompanied by the boundless fear!

Before the sound and shock wave could be heard, everyone at the scene had already felt the call of death. Whether it was Wookiees or the Empire soldiers, they all panicked and rushed towards the nearest bunker they could find.

Rumble~~~~!! The terrible explosion finally came, and the ground continued to shake, and even the AT-AT walker could not stand firm. Immediately afterwards, a powerful shock wave rushed over with sand and dust hundreds of meters high, directly overturning all the more than ten AT-AT walkers!

Those who couldn't escape were blown into the sky like pieces of paper, and then smashed into pieces of rotten flesh by the powerful shock wave.

This Galactic Empire inevitable suppression operation turned into a hell of indiscriminate slaughter in front of the falling warships one after another.

The culprit who caused this massacre is currently in the Kashyyyk planet synchronous orbit.

Kingdom of Dawn——Destruction battleship!

The huge 7892-meter-long hull is swimming in space, and the densely packed heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons on the hull are firing crazily. Next to Destruction, there are four Imperial-class Star Destroyer. At this moment, they are dilapidated and are desperately resisting the crazy attack of Destruction.

Just like on the ground, it was also a one-sided massacre.

These Imperial fleet who suppressed the Wookiees uprising had no idea that they would encounter Destruction battleship, the god of death, here. At that time, 10 Imperial-class Star Destroyers were monitoring the battle on the ground in the planet's synchronous orbit. When Destruction came from behind them, these Star Destroyers didn't even have time to escape the gravity of the planet and took a solid hit from Star-destroying cannons.

The two Imperial-class Star Destroyer were instantly destroyed by the powerful Star-destroying cannon, and then the Destruction rushed over and bombarded the remaining Star Destroyer indiscriminately.

Before they understood what was happening, Destruction's high-energy directional EMP cannon had completed charging and fired another salvo from both sides. Among them, five more Imperial-class Star Destroyer were affected by EMP cannon, and their electronic equipment was severely damaged. They could only fight head-on with the powerful Destruction in this incomplete state.

In less than an hour, the outcome of this encounter was already visible.

One against ten, Destruction, a complete victory!

Under the interference of the powerful EMP, these Star Destroyer cannot even send out a distress signal. Finally, a the Empire base on the other side of the planet sent a distress signal. Only then did the Twelfth Army headquarters know that Destruction had actually gone to Kashyyyk planet!

However, what Twelfth Army Governor Seben didn't expect was that Gideon-Tarkin directly ignored the distress order and only sent another squadron to come back for reinforcements. Moreover, they did not directly fight Destruction, but only monitored from a distance.

At this moment, General Grievous was among Destruction battleship. He stared at the holographic star map and said loudly, "EMP cannon keep charging! Keep shooting with the Turbolaser cannon! Shoot these little ants to death for me first! Hahahaha!"

He laughed loudly as he looked at the lingering Imperial-class Star Destroyer on the combat star map.

"General, we have intercepted Galactic Empire's communication. There may be a squadron coming for reinforcements." T-series tactical robot said on the side.

"Just a squadron? It seems that Gideon-Tarkin haven't been beaten yet!" General Grievous waved his hand violently, "Let the hyperspace department prepare, we will send Kashyyyk planet Blow up all the military bases on, and then go to Lantirris Planet to see how long Gideon-Tarkin will be stable!"

The four Imperial-class Star Destroyer did not resist for too long. They were trapped in near-geosynchronous orbit and could not escape at all. They were even less able to resist the gunfire of Destruction. In the end, they could only be blown to pieces.

"Prepare Orbital Bombardment!" General Grievous ordered.

"There may be a settlement of Wookiees below. According to detection, a fierce battle was taking place on the ground just now." the tactical robot said.

"It doesn't matter! Blast those hairy monkeys together!" General Grievous didn't care.

He has never been a person who cared about the lives of civilians.

Looking at the fire that was constantly rising on the ground, General Grievous showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes. The explosions and flames that can be seen in outer space are at least within a range of more than ten kilometers. This is a devastating bombing!

However, he was still very cautious and asked the hyperspace control department to keep monitoring at all times and be ready to run away at any time.

"Continue to calculate the hyperspace jump. If Imperial fleet comes too much, run away immediately!" General Grievous said.

However, he made a mistake. He did not notice that on the calculation screen of the hyperspace engine, the time required for the hyperspace jump was slowly increasing.

The B-1 combat robot that was controlling the hyperspace engine was operating in an orderly manner. For them, it was normal if the calculations did not get stuck.

Whether it is General Grievous or Destruction battleship, they are actually marginal figures of Kingdom of Dawn. Naturally, there are not so many well-trained elite naval soldiers assigned to him.

"Hyperspace fluctuations detected, Imperial fleet has arrived." A B-1 combat robot reported back, "The estimated fleet size is medium."

"Give them a shot first! Hahahaha!" General Grievous turned around and said.

White light flashed, and a Imperial sub-fleet appeared in the universe. However, General Grievous, who was monitoring that direction through optical images, suddenly saw several unharmonious warships in this fleet...

Imperial-class has four more bulges on the upper and lower sides!

General Grievous was shocked, "Stalker-class Star Destroyer! Something is wrong!"
