2820. The destruction of Ghost (Part 2)
In the fierce confrontation between the two Lightsabers, the Lightsaber of Kanan-Jarrus suddenly trembled - not because of the suppression of power, but because he suddenly discovered that what was in front of him was not a person, but smoke and void.
He fully unfolded his the Force and was finally able to sense that the blurry figure opposite was a young woman!
It was obvious that the opponent's swordsmanship was not as good as hers, but she always just kept pestering and harassing her, without any direct contact with Kanan-Jarrus.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side of the crowd, and Zeb, who was wrapped up tightly and tall and powerful, was seen crashing into him like an armored vehicle.
"Salarian is coming!" Zeb shouted loudly.
However, at this moment, the four frigates in the sky suddenly shone their super-powerful searchlights! The dazzling light beams split the night like sharp swords, locking onto the location of Kanan-Jarrus!
"What happened! Hurry! Let's go!!" Kanan-Jarrus pulled out Lightsaber and pushed Zeb into the maintenance channel. He immediately went up to him and took Hera Syndulla, Sabine, Ezra and others over.
"Ezra! Be careful! There is an invisible man nearby!" Kanan-Jarrus yelled and interrupted.
However, they obviously underestimated General Kalani's determination, and they saw an explosion suddenly coming from the dense crowd! The screams and wails were endless, and the crowd suddenly boiled and collapsed out of control, running wildly in all directions, trampling and pushing tore apart the final order.
The person from Salarian special forces was blocked in the middle by the crowd.
Kanan-Jarrus was stunned, "What are they doing? Is this Fulcrum coming? No! This will cause a large number of civilian casualties!"
At this time, the Force's sense of crisis pierced into his mind like a needle again, and he only saw that invisible smoke coming again!
"No! They are trying to force us in! This is a trap!!" Kanan-Jarrus reacted instantly.
Kanan-Jarrus swung his sword vigorously and forced the invisible man back. Then he heard the cry of Hera Syndulla. He quickly turned around and rushed into the tunnel.
After entering, they saw that Ezra-Bridger had drawn out Lightsaber, guarding the entrance of the passage extremely nervously, the tip of the sword trembling slightly but not moving at all; Sabine had set up the blaster, and Hera Syndulla had also drawn out the weapon.
Opposite them, the tall figure of Zeb turned his back to them, motionless.
"Zeb?!" Kanan-Jarrus's heart sank - the back was so stiff that even the ups and downs of his breathing had disappeared.
Immediately, Zeb's body slowly fell to the ground without making any sound.
The person who was blocked by Zeb's figure just now appeared in front of them.
"Run..." Kanan-Jarrus said softly.
"She killed Zeb!" Ezra cried loudly.
"Run! No matter where you go! Run quickly! The tunnels here extend in all directions. As long as you go deep and run around, they will definitely not be able to catch you! Then everything will be left to your fate! Anyway, run now! Run!" Kanan-Jarrus looked at the figure standing in front of him.
The figure was wearing a brown robe. Although it was wide, it could still be seen that it was a woman. Under the hood, there was a silver mask, covering the entire face.
Kanan-Jarrus's body trembled slightly, and he roared with all his strength, "Run!"
Ezra-Bridger fiercely grabbed Sabine's wrist and backed away quickly. Lightsaber drew a blue arc while trembling; Hera Syndulla had already raised his gun to shoot, buying some time and running towards the depths of the mine.
Kanan-Jarrus looked at the person in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "You finally came to me. Depa-Barris... Master."
His eyes immediately became extremely sharp, "No... traitor!"
Priestess did not speak, but raised her hand, and the bloody Lightsaber suddenly stretched out. The next second, her figure had disappeared and appeared in front of Kanan-Jarrus. Lightsaber instantly unfolded, Form VII Juyo!
Kanan-Jarrus couldn't resist at all, so they had to retreat continuously, using Third Form Soresu to delay as much time as possible, giving Ezra-Bridger and others more opportunities to escape.
On the other side, Xiao Yan is fighting a mysterious man at the entrance of the passage.
I only saw this mysterious man holding two Lightsabers, one long and one short, and a very rare white Lightsaber. This man's swordsmanship is very superb, and Xiao Yan is difficult to resist.
Another sword slashed over, and the white Lightsaber crossed, drawing a cross in the air! Xiao Yan was immediately beaten back by this powerful force and the Force, and she had to become invisible again, pulling away like smoke.
At the same time, she also said loudly in Sky Squad's unique telepathic communication, "Captain Talia! Come quickly! Another person has appeared here, and I can't stop her!"
[One more moment! The scene is too chaotic and we can't get through at all!] The urgent voice of Talia came from the telepathy.
[They began to escape towards the depths of the mine! The terrain there is very complicated!] The voice of Zhang Xucheng appeared.
Xiao Yan looked at the man in front of him and gritted his teeth and said, "You Rebel Alliance are full of benevolence and morality, but in the end you still rely on creating terrorist attacks and harming civilians to create opportunities for yourselves to escape!"
The mysterious man, who covered his face with a cloak and hood, said coldly, "What if I say that I was not responsible for this explosion?"
"Stop quibbling here! You are just a bunch of hypocritical villains!" Xiao Yan was so angry that she disappeared again and escaped into the void. However, the white Lightsaber opposite her followed her like a shadow, never leaving her side.
At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly looked into the depths of the pit. She was startled, abandoned Xiao Yan and ran towards it.
Inside the mine, the battle between Kanan-Jarrus and Priestess was already dangerous. He was obviously no match for Priestess, so he could only fend off the enemy with all his strength.
"You were once my pride, Caleb Dume (Kanan's former name)." Priestess said coldly, "But it's a pity that you chose to be buried with the rotten Galactic Republic."
"You have obviously forgotten what loyalty is." Kanan-Jarrus gritted his teeth and pointed his sword forward again, assuming the posture of Third Form Soresu, determined to delay time.
"I have chosen a path to build the entire New Order in the Milky Way." Priestess shook the bloody Lightsaber in a relaxed manner, "Even if it means the death of hundreds of millions of people to build this New Order, I will not hesitate."
"Then, there is no difference between you and Galactic Empire!" Kanan-Jarrus said, "You..."
Before he finished speaking, Lightsaber from Priestess had already slashed at him, and Kanan-Jarrus failed to finish the second half of the sentence. He said it out loud. He only saw Vaapad lightsaber form being baptized by Priestess. Kanan couldn't resist it at all. With a buzz, his sword-holding hand was cut off directly!
"It's over, Caleb... Surrender." Priestess said coldly.
"No... my name is Kanan-Jarrus! Rebel Alliance, a member of Ghost Squad! I will witness the demise of your tyranny!" Kanan roared.
The next second, two white sword lights flashed, and another mysterious man in a cloak was seen waving Lightsaber towards him, fighting with Priestess.
The sword light flashed, and the mysterious man quickly dodged, but the hood he was wearing was swept away by the aftermath of Lightsaber, revealing the wheat-colored skin and the hair-like antennae - this was a Togruta woman.
"Ahsoka-Tano. I didn't expect it to be you." Priestess said coldly, "Your swordsmanship has improved very quickly. It seems that you learned a lot from following Anakin-Skywalker."
"Compared to my swordsmanship, your depravity makes me sick." Ahsoka-Tano blocked Kanan-Jarrus behind him and said coldly.
"This is just a necessary sacrifice to establish New Order." Priestess said coldly.
However, at this time, there was a sudden distortion in the air. Xiao Yan appeared next to Priestess and whispered a few words.
Priestess snorted coldly and ordered, "You go chase the others, I will deal with her here."
"Okay!" Xiao Yan said, and quickly turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace.
"First you created explosions to harm civilians, and then you colluded with Blood Knight. Ahsoka-Tano. Why do you seem so unbearable when you are so righteous?" Priestess's tone was extremely cold.
"I said, I didn't do this." Ahsoka-Tano said in a deep voice.
The next second, the two of them quickly fought together.
At this moment, in the venue outside Monad Outpost, chaos is still continuing.
"Zhang Xucheng! Use your the Force to pacify the civilians as much as possible! Kryster, you go and help too!" Sky Squad Captain Talia swooped down from the air at high speed, waving his wings, and jumped onto a hover motorcycle with great precision. The engine roared, tearing the air, and quickly disappeared into the sky.
As she kept accelerating, she gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Asshole! You've fallen into a trap! This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Just now, she received an urgent notice that Shilka, the second governor of Lothal Planet, was attacked by Blood Knight! The news exploded like a thunderbolt from the blue - Governor Shilka was the second governor after the assassination of the Givin's predecessor, Lothal Planet, governor Kobori.
If Shilka is assassinated again, the assassination of two consecutive governors in less than a year will undoubtedly have a devastating blow to the stability of Lothal Planet. At the same time, the Givin's confidence in Kingdom of Dawn will also be severely damaged.
Talia continued to speed up and began to think about this matter. She felt more and more that the whole thing was a well-designed conspiracy! And the target of the assassination was undoubtedly Governor Shilka himself!
They just received information today, saying that on Lothal Planet, Ghost Squad, the core member of the Rebel Alliance, will take advantage of Gladiator Night's opportunity to escape through Monad Outpost's underground mine network.
When the news was received, it was less than two hours before the Gladiator Night convening. Talia led Sky Squad to quickly rush to the scene to deploy defenses. However, even Kryster immediately called up the terrain map of Monad Outpost, but it was also incomplete. This was a mine abandoned during the reign of the Galactic Empire, and complete terrain data could not be found at all.
They could only disperse around the venue and guard at several entrances they had already mastered. At the same time, let Zhang Xucheng use his Force talent, which can hear the sounds of all things, to carefully search for the location of Ghost Squad.
After some searching, Zhang Xucheng finally sensed the direction of Ghost Squad. At this moment, Priestess was the closest there, so she first entered the hole to block it, and then asked Xiao Yan to immediately go around and outflank Ghost Squad, driving Ghost Squad into the mine. This way, their battle could avoid the crowded civilians here.
But at this moment, an explosion suddenly occurred on the other side of the venue. Hundreds of people were killed immediately, and the scene was in chaos. Zhang Xucheng, Talia, who were preparing to rush over, and the Salarian special forces soldiers they brought were all blocked in the flow of people, completely blocking their support route.
And Ahsoka-Tano suddenly appeared again. She was not on the list at all. No one knew when she came. After she joined the war, she quickly repelled Xiao Yan, leaving Priestess alone unable to stop so many people like Ghost Squad. The situation began to get out of control.
But the worst was yet to come. Just when they were concentrating their efforts to encircle and suppress Ghost Squad, they suddenly received an emergency report that Governor Shilka had been assassinated!
Only then did the whole thing become clear!
Ghost Squad is just an abandoned son, a bait! The other party's real target is Governor Shilka!
"Are you also aware? Ahsoka-Tano. You are just abandoned children." Priestess said coldly, "Now I can confirm that the person who sold your whereabouts to us must come from within the Rebel Alliance. And this person also has extensive cooperation with Blood Knight. I think you should know who this is, right?"
"This is none of your business!" Ahsoka-Tano gritted her teeth and waved two white Lightsabers at high speed to block Priestess's heavy rain attacks, but she was also retreating steadily.
"You said we are the same as Galactic Empire? Hahahaha..." Priestess sneered, "No, in my opinion, you are just the same as those crazy people like Blood Knight."
She swung more than a dozen swords in an instant, but Ahsoka-Tano couldn't block her. She had no way to retreat, and her back had already touched the cold rocks on the wall of the mine.
At this moment, Kanan-Jarrus, whose arm had been chopped off before, suddenly rose up. He used his remaining left hand to swing Lightsaber and slashed at Priestess's back!
"Ahsoka! Run!" he yelled.
Priestess reacted quickly and turned around to easily block Kanan's attack. Lightsaber instantly pierced his heart! Kanan spat out a mouthful of blood, but used his last strength to grab Priestess's Lightsaber and roared loudly, "Run!!!"
Ahsoka-Tano No longer hesitated at this moment, she quickly turned around and ran away.
Priestess looked at Kanan-Jarrus who was covered in blood, sighed and said, "I am honored to be able to see you off for the last time, Caleb Doom. No matter what your stance is, nothing you do will dishonor the honor of Jedi Order. I am proud to have been your master."
"But I... am... ashamed of it..." Kanan-Jarrus stared at Priestess and took his last breath.
