2699. Troubles in the Imperial Capital
As the battle between Darth-Malthael and Darth-Sidious continued, their respective fleets also fought around the planet and killed each other.
The two of them had also fallen into madness, and they actually gave the order directly - open fire!!
Hundreds of warships from both sides opened fire wildly across the shattered space city, completely ignoring that their own Supreme Leader was among the wreckage of the space city.
The place where Darth-Malthael and Darth-Sidious stood was instantly surrounded by countless artillery fire!
Explosions and flames were everywhere. This space city was bombarded by two fleets and began to rapidly disintegrate!
Two Sith Lord were fighting crazily in this terrible environment. Force Storm and Force lightning were intertwined in the fire. Under such circumstances, they couldn't tell the winner at all, they were just killing and fighting crazily.
Even Priestess did not dare to participate. After the two Sith Lords fell into madness, she had to withdraw from the battlefield even though her heart was filled with anger towards Darth-Sidious.
Now Darth-Malthael and Darth-Sidious have almost lost their minds, and power of the Dark Side is affecting them both at the same time. Even Darth-Malthael, who usually seems more normal, fell into deep trouble because of abusing the power of his "son".
In this space city that was constantly exploding and filled with flames and debris, they vented the anger and darkness in their hearts.
After the flagships of both sides finally arrived on the battlefield, the situation finally got completely out of control!
Das-Malthael brazenly ordered Archangel Titan warship to use Doomsday Weapon to shoot! At the same time, Das-Sidious ordered Reaper Super Star Destroyer to use full firepower to completely cover the entire space city!
This farce ended in a devastating explosion, and the battle between the fleets of both sides ended in nothing.
Kingdom of Dawn fleet has insufficient troops, and it has just experienced Battle of Bilbrin Planet. The general condition is not good, and it has suffered considerable losses in this battle. And Galactic Empire's fleet also lost the protection of the shield ship MK-II when the warships of both sides rushed to the space city. As a result, a large number of warships were destroyed by Doomsday Weapon, and the losses were also very heavy.
As for the two Sith Lords, Das-Malthael and Das-Sidious, they turned around and ran away immediately after giving the order to fire.
In the previous battle, they secretly asked their fleet to send a shuttle over and hide it in the ruins of the space city. When their flagship arrived, they gave the order to open fire, then boarded the hidden shuttle and flew away.
So the flagships of both sides exploded at the same time, which had no effect except completely smashing the space city.
The fleets of both sides retreated respectively, Kingdom of Dawn fleet returned to Bilbrin Planet, and Galactic Empire's fleet returned to Scipio.
However, this crazy battle resulted in extremely bad consequences!
Kingdom of Dawn The control of public opinion here is very strict, and only some gossip has spread. Fleet Commander General Trench complained privately that this battle was a farce and had no military significance.
Galactic Empire directly raised questions. A large number of media defined this battle as the massacre of civilians by Sith Lord!
Because this battle took place in full view of Palanci Planet!
Palanci Planet is already a planet in the Milky Way Imperial Core Worlds, and it is a financial planet. In other words, this planet mainly relies on the circulation of information. The space city destroyed by Das-Malthael and the others was the place where many Core Worlds's wealthy businessmen and powerful people used to make deals and discuss business.
If there is any industry that cannot be controlled by the Galactic Empire's public opinion, then the financial industry is definitely the first one. Because the financial industry is related to the lifeblood of the Empire, and in order to ensure market fairness, the financial industry must be as transparent as possible.
During the Clone Wars period, InterGalactic Banking Clan, who controlled finance, had his eyes set higher than the top, and even Chancellor of the Republic didn't pay attention to him. Even now, several major chaebols and wealthy families in the financial industry still maintain a great degree of freedom.
As a result, right here, the ruins of the completely destroyed space city continued to fall towards the planet, and the people on the planet watched the meteor shower for three whole days. There were even many large pieces of debris that passed through Planetary Shield due to the slow speed, and then many corpses fell down together with them.
Palanci Planet Space City, although it was evacuated before, there are still more than one million staff and civilians staying there! There are countless corpses that fell to the planet with large pieces of debris!
Those the Empire dignitaries on Palanci Planet watched a brutal and inhumane massacre live.
In particular, many of the battles between the two Sith Lord were captured by the surveillance cameras in the space city. The images were transmitted to the planet control center, and finally almost the entire galaxy knew about them.
Therefore, this battle was directly defined as a battle started by two Sith Lord for personal grudges, and caused a large number of unnecessary casualties of soldiers and the deaths of millions of civilians.
After this battle, both warring parties temporarily withdrew their troops and returned to their respective forward bases to garrison.
After Tang Xiao returned to Dawn Star Planet, he immediately went secretly to Planet Dagobah and used the Sith artifact Dark Reaper hidden there to absorb his own Dark Side Force. When he appeared in the public eye again, he looked pale and in bad spirits.
But at this time Kingdom of Dawn's propaganda machine was already on the move, rendering Battle of Palanci into King of Dawn Tang Xiao taking the lead. In order to end the war early, he did not hesitate to kill Imperial fleet alone, wanting to kill Emperor of the Galactic Empire. But Emperor of the Empire used the millions of civilians on the space city as shields and escaped.
Tang Xiao also gave a public speech, announcing the victory of this personal expedition - not only captured Fortress Planet Bilbrin of the Empire, but also seriously injured Emperor Palpatine twice in a one-on-one contest.
After the Galactic Empire also made internal adjustments, it launched a public opinion offensive, condemning Kingdom of Dawn for launching the war and massacring civilians. The Empire only resisted bravely under the leadership of Emperor Palpatine, but Tang Xiao used ancient Sith Empire's anti-humanity and anti-civilization weapons, killing and wounding many the Empire soldiers while creating a massacre. In order to avoid the loss of life, the Empire was forced to change its strategy and withdraw from Bilbrin Planet.
However, the biggest difference between the two sides is that Galactic Empire is very secretive about the power of His Majesty the Emperor and has not discussed it in this regard. On the contrary, the public opinion of Kingdom of Dawn has been exaggerating the power and invincibility of Tang Xiao.
The public opinions on both sides are now quarreling, but the leaders of both sides have realized one thing - what is the king without seeing the king.
The battle between them is now meaningless except that both sides suffer losses. If they are injured in the battle between each other, it will cause the opposition forces within their respective countries to rise, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Even Tang Xiao, because of the brave and invincible image he has always created, if he is really seriously injured by Das-Sidious, then his image will definitely be damaged. Moreover, Kingdom of Dawn is a challenger coming from behind. 90% of the control area is the territory of Galactic Republic/Galactic Empire. If these people cannot be deterred, they may face rebellion the next day.
In Gangsi's words, the colors of these territories are still striped!
So after the battle, the two returned to their capitals again, focused on controlling their country, and left the war to real professionals.
Priestess was left behind in Northern Territory to assist General Trench in continuing Northern Territory's military operations and preparing for the third phase of "Golden Plan" - the attack on Scipio!
At this point in the battle, the situation became a little tricky.
Because although Kingdom of Dawn occupied Bilbrin Planet and opened the portal of Core Worlds, it does not mean that they can directly threaten Scipio.
The distance between Bilbrin Planet and Scipio is still very far, but there is no more tightly defended fortress planet between them.
And if you want to push it from the front, then facing First Galactic Army with strong troops and high morale, judging from the results of Battle of Palanci this time, it is almost impossible to accomplish.
And although Galactic Empire didn't know Kingdom of Dawn's plan, because of the importance of Scipio and the consistent behavior of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, they still set up their forward base here - on the one hand, defense, and on the other hand, shock.
Therefore, how to attack Scipio requires a more sophisticated plan.
General Trench's plan is still to use the hyperspace channel that can lead directly to Scipio to launch a surprise attack. But the people at the InterGalactic Banking Clan (S) also know about this channel, so naturally they focus on defense.
However, now is the best time to attack Scipio.
Mainly due to the occupation of Bilbrin Planet, the Empire Northern Territory no longer has a fortress. If you really want to launch an attack, the only things you need to consider are Imperial fleet and Planetary Shield. Compared with Bilbrin Planet, which has limited hyperspace channels, asteroids, and armed space stations, it is naturally much better.
However, just because there is no fortress now does not mean there will not be one in the future.
Just like the financial planet Palanci, it is also a traffic artery. Galactic Empire is now sending a large number of Engineering Corps to build Golan III-class armed space station. If time continues to drag on, Galactic Empire will soon arm a few more planets.
At the same time, if Scipio is under the threat of Kingdom of Dawn for a long time, then Galactic Empire will definitely instruct InterGalactic Banking Clan (S) to transfer Scipio's treasury, bonds, databases, warehousing and other materials as soon as possible, and then most likely send these things to their administrative headquarters, Aargau.
By that time, even if Scipio is really captured, it will not cause a devastating blow to the Galactic Empire's economy.
So if you want to implement this plan, you can only do it as early as possible!
If you miss this opportunity, you will have no choice but to go head-to-head with the Galactic Empire.
Turning the war into a long-term war of attrition is definitely a situation that Kingdom of Dawn must avoid.
At this time, in an unknown corner of Imperial Center industrial zone, two black figures were plotting vaguely.
"Palpatine was seriously injured this time, I can feel it. Moreover, Kingdom of Dawn and Tang Xiao's condition is not much better." The voice was a deep female voice.
"That would be great, Oswald-Tessik is not here now. You should know that if he were here, we wouldn't have any chance anyway. But now...Imperial Marshal Among, only Ruffan-Digorinus is dealing with the affairs of the big family, and Imperial Center is feeling emptier than ever," said a hoarse male voice.
"But there are still a lot of garrison here. I can handle Palpatine, but can you handle those garrison?" said the female voice.
"I have a way to garrison the army. But... have you seen those videos of Palanci Planet? You people are really so scary... I can't imagine that Palpatine is so powerful." The male voice was a little frightened.
"Don't worry, I can deal with him. Now Blackhole has run away, Kadan has gone to nowhere during this period, Das-Vader is in Delon system, and Imperial Inquisitorius is almost dead. You are right, there are really not many people around Palpatine now," the female voice said.
"According to your judgment, how long will it take for Palpatine to recover?" the male voice asked.
"It will take at least three months. His the Force aura is very disordered, and it is even difficult to hide his the Force fluctuations. At this time, we need to continue to do something for him in the parliament and involve his energy. But no matter what, we'd better take action within a month." The female voice said.
"If that's the case, that would be great." The male voice sneered and said, "Don't worry about parliamentary matters. There are many self-proclaimed liberal members who are willing to cause trouble to Palpatine on various occasions. For example...Bail-Organa... hehehehe."
"Then, in one month, it will be the end of Palpatine." The female voice said coldly, and then disappeared without a trace.
The man also pressed the button hidden in his clothes, and his whole body immediately became transparent, and then he left in a hurry.
Outer Rim of the galaxy, Southwest Territory, Modell Sector capital - Annaj Planet.
A somewhat fuzzy holographic image was projected in a very ordinary apartment. In this holographic image, it was the earth-shattering battle between Darth-Malthael and Darth-Sidious in the Palanci Planet space city.
"Oh, turn it off, then delete the content without leaving any traces, BD-1. You are too curious. Downloading these things from the Galactic Empire's network can easily attract people from the Network Security Bureau..." The speaker was a young man with red hair.
