2824. The Fall of Charos IV (Part 1)
Ahsoka-Tano was silent for a long time and said slowly, "Do you know? Borsk-Feliya's strategy has many supporters in the high-level meetings of the alliance. They believe that this is Strategically, it is very appropriate, and assassinating Governor Shilka and even General Kalani will help us open up the situation for Eastern Territory. After all, after Operation Spring Dawn, we also need such a strong response."
"Then! Then! Then!!!" Ezra-Bridger grabbed Ahsoka-Tano's clothes like crazy and roared loudly, "Is this your freedom? Is this your answer?!"
"I'm sorry..." Ahsoka-Tano lowered his head.
"It's not your fault... It's not you who should apologize... I should thank you, it was you who saved me." Ezra-Bridger let go of her clothes, backed away slowly, squatted down against the bulkhead, and buried her head deeply in her knees.
"You're welcome..." Ahsoka-Tano said, she turned around and went to the cockpit and started to operate the navigation system.
"Where are we going?" Ezra-Bridger asked.
"Go to the Rebel Alliance's headquarters." Ahsoka-Tano's tone gradually became firmer, "This time, I will not escape. I will not be like when I left Jedi Order Leave like this! Even if I know that the other party has become irreversible and decayed, I should not leave. That is the behavior of a coward. I must go back and return to Padmé. Only in this way can she get my help at the most dangerous time."
After saying that, she pressed the start button.
After paying a high price (half of which was caused by General Kalani driving Odin for a walk), Rebel Alliance's plan was finally foiled and Ghost Squad was destroyed.
Now Sabine-Wren and Blood Knight Talon-Marix have become prisoners and are being held in the Lothal Planet underground prison.
In addition, Operation Spring Dawn, which was hosted by General Kalani before, destroyed twenty-three bases of the Rebel Alliance, making the entire Eastern Territory environment awe-inspiring.
However, in this feast of blood and fire, only the pair of animalistic vertical pupils saw the danger hidden behind the scenes.
Eastern Territory will still be chaotic, and the chaos will be even more complete!
Before complete chaos occurs, Galactic Empire's claws extending here must be completely cut off!
8BBY, February 12th.
A day when no one is prepared.
The fleets of the Galactic Empire's Twelfth Army are stationed in the capital Lantilis Planet and the military base Charos IV Planet. Governor Seben, who finally regained military and political power, is arguing with Imperial Center to get more reinforcements and more supplies.
The reinforced warships and supplies mean more power to High Sector Governor like him.
Governor Seben promoted two officers from among his cronies, Lieutenant General Hekto, and Lieutenant General Ramon. Seben is planning to promote them to Admiral of the Navy, but obviously, having just experienced the fiasco of Saleucami system, the resistance to promotion of these two generals to generals is conceivably difficult.
Lieutenant General Ramon is stationed at Charos IV Planet, while Lieutenant General Hekto is stationed at Lantilis. Now the two lieutenant generals are reorganizing Twelfth Army's armaments. After all, in the previous Battle of Saleucami, the entire Twelfth Army organization was broken up.
At present, they think they still have time. Although Governor Seben is prohibited from having any contact with the Rebel Alliance, these two generals are not fools. They still have contacts with the Rebel Alliance secretly, and obtain intelligence support from the Rebel Alliance by providing some weapons, intelligence, and conveniences.
But now, the support they can get has begun to decrease, and the fog of war on Kingdom of Dawn has gradually begun to close.
But at least for now, they can still understand that Kingdom of Dawn is vigorously encircling Rebel Alliance in the territory, which means that their main fleet is basically at the rear. At least during the process of Operation Spring Dawn, most of the Kingdom of Dawn Eastern Territory Fleet warships ran to the rear.
After starting Saleucami planetary battle, and then starting Operation Spring Dawn, the time actually left for Kingdom of Dawn fleet to rest is very short.
And based on their understanding of the Rebel Alliance, Rebel Alliance is completely like a wildfire that cannot be burned out and spring breeze blows. Even if you kill all the people on the planet, more Rebel Alliance will "grow" from other planets.
Operation Spring Dawn must mean Rebel Alliance's stronger revenge.
Sure enough, the Imperial Twelfth Army military soon received the news that Lothal Planet was attacked and Givin Governor Shilka was assassinated and seriously injured.
This made Lieutenant General Hekto and Lieutenant General Ramon finally breathe a sigh of relief. They thought they had another chance to breathe - after all, Kingdom of Dawn's attention had been completely diverted.
They all know that Kingdom of Dawn will definitely launch an attack on Eastern Territory. What they want now is to buy more time so that they can deploy defense.
Therefore, when the fleet led by General Grievous appeared at Charos IV Planet, Lieutenant General Ramon stationed here was sleeping, and he rolled out of bed!
"What happened? What happened?!" Lieutenant General Ramon shouted. Although his adjutant had clearly told him that he was being attacked by Separatist fleet, his confused brain had not yet reacted.
"General! We were attacked by Separatists! The number of enemy fleets is 129 battleships!" the adjutant repeated eagerly.
"This is impossible! Where did they get the fleet from? Their fleets are all behind to suppress the rebellion!" Lieutenant General Ramon shouted.
"Yes... they are all our own warships! They were captured by them!" the adjutant said loudly.
"What did you say?!" Ramon ran the fastest speed in his life and rushed into the command center. He only saw in the holographic battle star map that his own defensive fleet had begun to exchange fire with the opponent.
And the fleet that Kingdom of Dawn killed was surprisingly 120 Imperial-class Star Destroyer and 9 of those strange golden aircraft carriers!
In the previous Saleucami planetary battle, due to the defeat of Imperial fleet, a large number of battleships fell behind and were captured by Kingdom of Dawn after their engines were destroyed.
Now, General Grievous has pulled out all these battleships! Those battleships are still spray-painted with the Empire's markings, but they have been marked as "enemy ships" in the Identification Friend or Foe system!
"Asshole! Asshole!" Lieutenant General Ramon shouted, "Hurry! Ask for help from the rear! Say we are being attacked by Separatists's main force! Hurry!"
He immediately asked his defenders to form a defensive formation here and fired back.
