2573. A critical moment

General Grievous's fighter jet staggered into Targon Planet's atmosphere, and then flew straight towards the palace in the planet's capital.

In fact, this place is very easy to find. You can see it even without a scanner. The largest city group is the capital, and the most luxurious building in the middle is the palace.

King Targonians, who was anxiously waiting for the Eye of Palpatine's reaction in his gold-covered palace - Klaw the Eternal's heart was almost beating out of his chest at this moment.

There was only a roar, and a tattered fighter jet crashed in. The fighter jet was damaged everywhere, with thick smoke billowing, and sparks constantly shooting out. It slid on the ground for a long distance, shoveling away all the gorgeous gold decorations on the ground, and then slammed into a pillar and stopped.

Klaw the Eternal was trembling all over, hiding under his throne, not even daring to raise his head. His guards had been scattered when the fighter jets crashed in, and now they only dared to stand far away, not daring to get close at all.

I saw the door of the fighter jet open, and a tall and burly figure walked down.

Under the tattered cloak with burnt holes everywhere, the first thing everyone saw was a pair of blood-red vertical pupils! The terrible murderous intention makes people instantly frightened. The hands of the Guardsmen holding the guns were shaking, and they did not even have the courage to pull the trigger.

General Grievous showed a fierce look in his eyes, swept over the people around him, and roared, "Get out!"

I saw the mechanical body that was charred and damaged everywhere and stained with blood of various colors, as well as the three terrifying mechanical arms. The most terrifying thing was the blood-red Lightsaber held in one of the hands. The guardsmen didn't know who was leading the attack, so they screamed and dropped their weapons and fled in panic.

General Grievous stepped forward, grabbed the throne made of pure gold, pulled out the several-ton throne, and then threw it aside with a bang.

A fat Targonians with all kinds of gold and silver treasures hanging all over his body was curling up and shivering with his big butt stuck out.

General Grievous lifted him up as if catching a chicken. Targonians evolved from a cold-blooded bird-like animal, so it is accurate to say that it caught a chicken.

"Are you their leader?" General Grievous asked in that terrifying and hoarse voice.

"Yes... yes... my name is Ke... Crow..." Klaw the Eternal didn't even dare to add the hereditary title of the Targon Royal Family to himself, and just answered tremblingly.

"If you still want to save your planet, find me your best spaceship immediately! Then take off within half an hour!!" General Grievous said ferociously.

"Go... where?" Klaw the Eternal asked tremblingly.

"Go find Kingdom of Dawn fleet! Kill this thing before it causes more damage!" General Grievous said.

"Okay... okay... I'll prepare the envoy right away... and the gifts..." Klaw the Eternal said.

"It's you! Follow me!" General Grievous said sternly.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Kingdom of Dawn Navy Lin Nanyi has issued the order for the entire army to attack - target, Targon Planet!

Targon Planet is not far from his fleet station Tugul Planet, but there is no direct hyperspace channel connection between the two galaxies, so they need to pass through two other unmanned galaxies and make a small circle.

Although bad news came one after another in Dak Planet, Givin Governor Kobori was assassinated, and then King Li-Char of Mon Calamari was also assassinated. However, the leader of Quarren, Nossori, has repeatedly assured that he has enough ability to quell all the riots of Dak Planet, and the new king will be elected soon, also Mon Calamari.

Nossori told Lin Nanyi with great certainty that as long as the new king is Mon Calamari, then they will not rise up in riots or even rebel. As long as they do not face confrontation, everything will still have room for change.

But this incident also made Lin Nanyi feel that things were gradually getting out of control, so he decided to quickly solve the Eye of Palpatine's problem before things became more complicated, and then return to Lothal Planet, slowly solve the problems of Dak Planet, Mon Calamari, the Givin, and Galactic Empire Eastern Territory Fleet.

What made him make the decision to take the initiative was the movements of the Galactic Empire Eastern Territory Fleet from Gideon-Tarkin.

Gideon-Tarkin Apart from sending a squadron forward and thinking about it, the main fleet showed no signs of action at all and just stayed at the base of Boonta. Not only that, he also carried out extensive construction projects on Boonta and sent a large number of engineering ships to repair the infrastructure previously destroyed by General Grievous.

The large amount of materials transported in from outside the galaxy are basically mainly building materials. Everything shows that Galactic Empire also plans to fight a protracted war in Eastern Territory.

To reach Dak Planet from Boonta, you need to first pass through Perlemian Trade Route, and then transfer to a slightly smaller hyperspace branch line, the Overic Griplink (The Overic Griplink). Although the hyperspace channel is very stable, this route requires a circle and several jumps, which takes about two to three days. This is also the main channel for external traffic of Dak Planet.

The other option is to take Giblim Route (The Giblim Route), which is a relatively remote branch line. The hyperspace situation is very unstable and is not suitable for large-scale fleets to move forward. Therefore, although the distance is relatively short, it takes longer to reach Dak Planet. Only some smugglers will take this route.

Then there is also no direct hyperspace channel connection from Dak Planet to Lothal Planet, so a detour is required, and it takes about a day in between. If it is a large fleet, it will take longer.

Therefore, Lin Nanyi judged that even if Galactic Empire's fleet wanted to sneak attack on his rear, he would have enough time to react.

Therefore, he made up his mind to attack with the whole army! He plans to go back and forth for two days and fight for one day at most. In other words, the Eye of Palpatine will be completely eliminated within three days. Then return to Lothal Planet. Even if Galactic Empire's fleet has any ideas at this time, it is still halfway at most.

For this reason, he also repeatedly told his officers at all levels that this battle must be fought quickly and with an aggressive and plundering momentum! Speed is the key to this battle!

As long as the speed is fast enough, the Eye of Palpatine and Galaxy Empire main fleet can be divided and annihilated!

Otherwise, once the two sides join forces, the fleet in his hands has no chance of winning!

"All troops attack!" Lin Nanyi issued the order.

[Stop it immediately!] A loud shout came from the public channel!
