2823. The price of life

This sword penetrated Sabine-Wren's neck, and it was at the seam of her body Mandalorian armor. Sabine couldn't avoid it. She had closed her eyes and was ready to die.

At this moment, a silver-white beam suddenly tore through the smoke and accurately hit the tip of the sword. Ahsoka-Tano was seen rushing over quickly. She turned around and slashed down with the double-edged Lightsaber, and the two white sword lights slashed hard at the smoke.

The smoke dissipated immediately, revealing the figure of Xiao Yan. She held Lightsaber behind her back, and the swords clashed with dazzling sparks. Ahsoka shouted in a deep voice, "Are you using the Force in such a sinister way?"

"You know nothing about the void." Xiao Yan responded coldly, and her figure escaped into the void again and disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go!" Ahsoka-Tano knew that Priestess would arrive soon. Once she came, it would be too late. Ahsoka grabbed Sabine, and Lightsaber buzzed in his hands.

Ezra picked up Hera-Hera Syndulla's still warm body, but was a little confused, "Hera is dead, Zeb is dead, Kanan is also dead... We... what are we left with?"

"We still have hope." Ahsoka's voice was low and firm, "Let's go!"

The powerful pressure from behind was approaching, and Priestess had already caught up! Ahsoka-Tano pulled Ezra-Bridger and ran quickly towards the darker and more twists and turns of the tunnel.

Sabine-Wren also kept firing to suppress them while quickly following up, but Xiao Yan had no intention of letting them go.

The smoke in the darkness was still surrounding, that was the moment Xiao Yan was waiting for. Just when Sabine-Wren was about to replace the Blaster pistol cooling module, she suddenly rose up and pierced the jetpack on Sabine's back with a sword!

The jetpack exploded, and Sabine was knocked to the ground by the air waves. Hot debris flew everywhere. She wanted to continue running, but the backpack lost control and instead took her flying in the opposite direction.

There was a muffled sound, and a moment later, Priestess took one of Sabine-Wren's feet and dragged her over - she had been knocked unconscious. "No!! Sabine!!" Ezra-Bridger's desperate screams gradually disappeared deep into the mine.

Then there was a violent explosion, and Shale kept collapsing and falling, completely blocking the tunnel. It was probably Ahsoka-Tano that detonated the thermal energy mine they carried, sealing the path of the pursuers with the collapse.

In the smoke and dust, Priestess and Xiao Yan stood side by side. After a few seconds, she said, "Detain Sabine in the dungeon and torture him severely. It seems that General Kalani has done something again."

"I think his most important thing now is how to keep his budget this year." Xiao Yan showed Priestess the picture of General Kalani driving Odin in the city.

The air suddenly stagnated for a moment. Priestess sighed and dragged Sabine away. Two words faintly came from the darkness, "Idiot..."

At this moment, among the ruins near the Intelligence Department in the west of Lothal City, Talia was singing Ayrou ancient songs while walking among the ruins. The Force was meandering like a stream between the ruins. Nowhere could isolate this overwhelming sound.

No matter where Talon Malix hides, he will be affected by this song.

The engine of the suspended motorcycle sounded, and Zhang Xucheng rushed to the scene with more than 20 soldiers of Salarian special forces. A light frigate in the sky was also coming. Inside the open hatch, the huge dark blue figure of Indjori Karina, and even the ferocious smile at the corner of her mouth were clearly visible.

Shen Yuanhao drove the frigate, turned on the eight sets of searchlights on the belly, and continuously scanned the ruins.

Talon Marix had nowhere to escape. He suddenly jumped out of the collapsed concrete pipe, Lightsaber drew two bloody lights and shadows in the darkness, and stabbed Zhang Xucheng!

At that moment, he understood that the person who had been spying on them in the long river of the Force was the young man in front of him!

But Zhang Xucheng had no intention of dodging. Suddenly, the earth shook, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky! Dark blue scales, a huge height of 3 meters, and a terrifying shape like a dinosaur - Indjori The only Force-sensitive, Karina!

Karina didn't even use a weapon and directly resisted the sword with his own body. Lightsaber left a deep burn mark on her body, but that was all. For that huge body, this sword wound was just a shallow mark on the skin.

"Ouch!!" Karina roared up to the sky, and the sound wave shook Shale. She rolled down. With a sweep, she knocked Talon into the broken wall, and the concrete cracked like pieces of paper. Zhang Xucheng raised his hand and grasped it. The collapsed steel bars wound up like living snakes, instantly locking Talon's limbs.

Talon struggled in the steel strangulation, but hoarse laughter came from deep in his throat. "Hehehehehe... hehehehehe..."

Karina Still not satisfied, she approached Talon Marix and let out a terrifying roar! The powerful airflow even deformed Talon's face.

"Take him back and interrogate him strictly." Talia came over and said.

The attack finally came to an end. As for Kingdom of Dawn, due to the terrorist attack at the Gladiator Night venue, Governor Shilka was assassinated and seriously injured. Lothal City also had dozens of buildings destroyed during the arrest operation, causing extremely serious economic losses.

In addition to economic losses, the greater loss lies in the confidence of the people. Now Lothal Planet is no longer regarded as a safe place, and Kingdom of Dawn, which is unable to guarantee the safety of the planet, has become the target of public criticism, and the legitimacy of its rule has been completely questioned.

General Kalani responded quickly. He released the video of Ghost Squad in disguise that was captured by Gladiator Night on-site surveillance at the venue, throwing all the blame for this terrorist attack on Ghost Squad also made further accusations against the Rebel Alliance, claiming that Rebel Alliance would use civilians as bait in order to rescue Ghost Squad at all costs.

But in fact, strictly speaking, General Kalani's behavior is not completely deviated from the truth.

"... This operation was artificially turned into two operations, Ezra-Bridger. I'm sorry." Inside a hijacked Sun Power Energy spacecraft, Ahsoka-Tano patted Ezra on the shoulder and sighed.

"... Why two actions?" Ezra's voice was extremely hoarse.

Ahsoka-Tano said, "I am the 'Fulcrum' who first contacted you, and I am the secret intelligence organization of the Rebel Alliance A member of Borsk-Feliya. Logically speaking, I should be under the jurisdiction of Borsk-Feliya, but the leader transferred me there and put me directly under her jurisdiction. In the meantime, there were a lot of political struggles and compromises."

She continued, "According to my original plan, I planned to use the crowd of Gladiator Night to capture the hidden spaceship of Sun Power Energy Company as I told you before. But it backfired and my plan was revealed. Kingdom of Dawn began to send more troops to the venue. I can only go as soon as possible to find a way to bring you out."

"Who leaked our plan?" Ezra-Bridger's eyes were full of hatred.

"The status is high enough to have access to my front-line combat plan, and he has dealings with Blood Knight. His behavior is unscrupulous... There is only one such person in the entire Rebel Alliance-- Borsk-Feliya. Intelligence Department gate leader of the Rebel Alliance." Ahsoka-Tano said.

"He used you as bait and took the initiative to reveal your whereabouts to Kingdom of Dawn so that you could attract enough attention to Gladiator Night's venue. And Kingdom of Dawn didn't dare not go to the venue. After all, the lives of tens of thousands of people are there. If you don't save him, then Kingdom of Dawn's reputation is completely ruined." Ahsoka-Tano said, "In this way, he can send other forces to achieve his real purpose-Blood Knight. His purpose should be to assassinate Governor Shilka."

With a bang, Ezra-Bridger hit the bulkhead in a circle, and tears could not stop flowing down. "Just for his conspiracy, Zeb, Hera, Kanan, Sabine, they have to pay with their lives?!"
