283. Acquitted
With the help of Titan Security's extremely elite Caladanian warriors and the famous general Hakimi, Elder Dor was unstoppable and reached a place 150 kilometers away from the capital Tekav City in one week, and then set up camp.
In the next few days, Elder Dor's army actually stopped advancing.
Grand Elder of Cerean Elder Council has already felt the end of the world at this moment. His own army has long been defeated by Elder Dor's army, while most of the other elders have chosen to sit back and watch, or simply expand their own strength.
While Grand Elder was gathering the last troops to surround Tekav City, he kept sending envoys to ask other elders who were leading the troops to come back for rescue.
Most of the elders refused directly, and everyone could see that Grand Elder was already declining, and the remaining days were not long.
However, there was still an elder who responded to Grand Elder's call. His name was Lydon. He was a rather young elder, only about 50 years old.
Lydon brought an army of 15,000 people back to Tekav City. However, just as Grand Elder went out to greet him, he suddenly discovered that the equipment of Elder Leyton's army were all Galactic Republic standard EE-3 Blaster rifle!!
The frightened Grand Elder didn't even have time to run, and he and his personal guards died under random gunfire.
Relying on this army that was generally equipped with Blaster rifle, Elder Leyton easily destroyed Tekav City's defense and occupied Cerea's capital.
Afterwards, Elder Leiden issued an announcement to the world, denounced the Great Elder's perverse behavior, and claimed that the Presbyterian Church system was no longer applicable to the current Seriya planet. He will reorganize the Presbyterian Council into a think tank organization, and he himself will serve as the first executive officer of the Seriya planet, wielding all the power.
Although many people are dissatisfied with Elder Leyton, his more than 10,000 troops equipped with EE-3 Blaster rifle are no joke. Therefore, riots in many places have temporarily ceased fire and waited to see what happened in the capital.
Because Cerean Planetary Elders Council, which has always claimed to absolutely reject all technological products, now someone is actually the first to equip and use Blaster rifle in large quantities! This is a slap in the face of Elder Council!
You have always claimed to ban technological items, and even launched a white terror, killing and arresting thousands of people for this purpose, and now you are telling everyone that you are actually using technological items yourself?!
As soon as the news came out, almost all Elder Council troops immediately lost any fighting spirit. Deserters began to appear in many troops, and they were unable to stop them.
But Elder Leyton didn't care about this. After he took office as Chief Executive Officer, in order to stabilize the situation, he issued another announcement, declaring that Cerea's policy of banning technological items would not change, but his army must be equipped with modern weapons to ensure combat effectiveness, otherwise Technology Movement would make a comeback.
In fact, if Elder Council had issued this announcement earlier, it would actually make sense. But to come out like this after Lydon relied on Blaster rifle to seize power, would be to cover up the truth.
The situation began to become increasingly chaotic, and something surprising happened. In addition to Lydon's army, there were actually two other armies under the elders who were also equipped with modern weapons!! Although they don't have many modern weapons, putting them on this Cold Weapon Era is still a dimensionality reduction strike.
This is a big joke!
It can be said that once this incident comes out, Cerean Planetary Elders Council will lose their prestige forever, and Cerea will completely lose the possibility of peaceful reunification!
When the chaos began to spread, the Technology Movement army led by Dor-Femi-Bonmi began to retreat. They gave up the territory they had previously occupied and retreated to the castle to hold on.
Next, Lydon and the other two elders who showed off modern weapons started their own expansion activities. With expansion came resistance. The scattered small forces of Technology Movement and local warlords also rose up to resist, and the war situation was tense for a time.
Afterwards, Elder Dor-Fermi Bonmi announced in the castle that Cerean Planetary Elders Council would be rebuilt as New Elder Council. He claimed that the tradition of Cerea will not change, and all that needs to change is everyone's view of technological products. Technological products are used to improve everyone's lives, not to cause killing.
This declaration is much more peaceful and has been recognized by more people and the outside world.
Immediately, Elder Dor formally applied to Galactic Republic as New Elder Council Grand Elder, announcing that Cerea would abandon the technology ban, and expressed its willingness to import a batch of weapons with limited power to maintain order and return Cerea to peace and unity.
At this time, Fourth Group acted the fastest. Glosse-Shelbia immediately announced that because the situation of Cerea was out of control, in order to ensure the safety of Elder Dor, the "progressive and enlightened" ruler, Fourth Group would export a batch of outdated Type 21 assault rifle to ensure their safety.
She also specifically claimed that the reason for choosing this outdated weapon was to prevent Cerea from falling into an arms race.
Then, at Galactic Republic Capital Coruscant, another small but very concerning thing also happened.
The arms dealer Yuri-Orlov, who was previously arrested by Jedi Order for selling arms in Cerea, hired an entire team of lawyers and officially filed a not guilty lawsuit against Galactic Republic Ministry of Justice!
He claimed that Cerea's Elder Council had violated the technology ban first, and they themselves violated the technology ban proposed by him, so his behavior of selling weapons on Cerea was legal.
Although smuggling weapons is illegal, the person who purchased his weapons was Elder Dor, one of the people who represents the highest administrative body of Cerea, so this is an official act, and Republic Senate and Jedi Order have no right to interfere.
At this time, both Republic Senate and those corporate giants were excited about the opening of Cerea. So Phineas-Valorum, who had lost trust in Jedi Order, kicked Jedi Order away. After some discussion, Galactic Republic Ministry of Justice announced that Yuri-Orlov had won the case, and the detention was immediately ended and acquitted!
After hearing the news, Cerea's Jedi Master-Adi-Mundi was so angry that the Force almost went into disorder. So under Master Yoda's suggestion, Master Mundi lived in seclusion.
Yuri-Orlov left the prison area after escaping the pursuit of reporters. When he was about to get into the car, two men in cloaks blocked the way.
"Hey, isn't this a genius? What are you going to arrest me for this time?" Yuri asked Obi-Wan-Kenobi.
"I will keep an eye on you! I swear!!" Obi-Wan-Kenobi stared at Yuri and said word by word.
"Oh, I also swear that I will definitely be acquitted, remember? So how far can your oath go? Hahahaha..." Yuri-Orlov wanted to give Obi-Wan a hug, but he pushed him away. So he raised his hands, walked backwards and got into the car, left a chic smile and drove away.
