618. Battle of Christophsis (3)
The battle on Christophsis broke out on a large scale, causing the entire galaxy, both Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, to turn their attention here.
This planet with a population of 35 billion and a vast amount of rare resources immediately became the center of contention.
But in fact, there are difficulties on both sides of the battle on this planet. Because Christophsis is close to Hutt Space and not far from Geonosis and Tatooine, several transportation arteries around the planet are under the control of Hutt.
On the planet's most important hyperspace channel, Corellian Trade Route, the spheres of influence of both Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic are intertwined, and each other is setting up a large number of Interdictor, making it very difficult for the fleet to pass. In this hyperspace channel that is divided into four sections, both sides can only sail freely within their own control.
After learning that Christophsis's battle started unplanned, Confederacy of Independent Systems's top military officer Commander General Grievous personally intervened in the matter and asked Parcel Argent why he rashly launched the battle without notifying him.
Naturally, Parcel Argent would not admit that this was because of his own selfishness, so he perfunctorily told General Grievous that it was because he had found an opportunity to instigate rebellion against Kloiden, and he needed to intervene as soon as possible before Kloiden's riot was quelled, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.
Moreover, in order to prevent others from participating in this battle, Parcel Argent patted his chest and assured General Grievous that Corporate Alliance had the ability to complete the battle independently and completely occupy Christophsis.
General Grievous had no choice but to believe what he said, because he was very busy now. He was personally planning a raid on Kamino [Note 1]. This was a bold plan of his and there was no room for error.
Moreover, Corporate Alliance's attack on Christophsis made Galactic Republic very nervous. They dispatched at least 40 Hunter Class Battlecruiser to besiege Falrin Planet, intending to get through Corellian Trade Route. This also made General Grievous's fleet increasingly stretched.
Now that he had boasted so much, Parcel Argent had to grit his teeth and secretly cursed General Trench for proposing this plan. However, since the beginning of the battle, General Trench's performance has been impeccable. He destroyed Christophsis's defense fleet and sealed off the surrounding planet. Everything was done perfectly.
Parcel Argent had to start looking for more reinforcements for Volm-Lotham. In fact, B-1 combat robots are easy to find, and the E-5 Blaster rifle that comes standard with the robots is also available. But it is impossible to just let B-1 rush with Blaster rifle in a battle, right?
More equipment including rocket launchers and missile launchers need to be deployed, and those heavy combat machinery must be planned for use.
In the end, Parcel Argent had to stop the attack on Bosa, withdraw his troops from Bosa's home planet Bosaal, and free up more equipment to send to Christophsis. Of course, doing so is tantamount to giving Galactic Republic a victory.
He also continued to spend money to buy a batch of Octuptarra Magna tri-droids from the Technological Alliance's big foreman Watto-Tambo. This is an enlarged version of the Octupala-type three-legged robot. The original 3.6-meter-tall robot has been enlarged to 14.59 meters tall, and it is equipped with three powerful Turbolaser cannons.
The Turbolaser cannons on this robot's spherical body can fire in turns as the body rotates, allowing the laser cannon to cool and store energy, thereby firing with greater power. When facing attacks from multiple directions, these Turbolaser cannons can also fire in multiple directions at the same time.
In short, the enlarged version of the three-legged robot will be very powerful in street fighting, which is why Parcel Argent wants to buy this kind of robot.
New robots and more reinforcements began to pour into Christophsis one after another, and Volm-Lotham, who received reinforcements, launched another attack.
This time, he defeated Christophsis's defense force and used his strength advantage to outflank Bail-Organa and his Clone Army in the eastern suburbs.
Volm surrounded and refused to attack this strong bone and advanced directly in the direction of capital Crystal City. The three-legged robot is huge, and its firepower is directly from the top, leaving the Christophsis soldiers hiding behind the bunker no room to escape.
The battle began to enter Crystal City, and flames of war began to ignite everywhere in this huge city. War refugees who were forced to flee their homes due to the fighting fled from the city and hid in the suburbs.
Bail-Organa almost broke all communications with Galactic Republic. Anyway, his military ability was mediocre, and all command of operations was left to the clone officer. He had nothing to do, so he held the communicator all day long and asked for help.
Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command is also worried. Their fleet is blocked at Falrin Planet and cannot move forward. Even if the smaller fleet sneaks over, it is absolutely impossible to break through General Trench's solid space defense line.
Therefore, they set their sights on Hutt Space, specifically - Tatooine!
This battle finally alerted Count Dooku and Darth-Sidious. After discussion, they planned a conspiracy, a conspiracy to drag Hutt into the war and become the enemy of Galactic Republic.
On July 19, the overlords of Tatooine, Hutt Gaddula-Besadi, were suddenly attacked while traveling. The attackers accurately grasped the whereabouts of Gaddula, successfully launched a surprise attack, and then kidnapped Gaddula.
The worst thing is that almost all the evidence in this attack points to Jedi Knight!
Including coarse cloth robes, corpses chopped into several pieces by Lightsaber, and even fragments of Delta-7 fighter jets!
As soon as the incident came out, Hutt was in an uproar. Alok-Besadi, one of the members of the Grand Hutt Council, directly called Palpatine's office.

[Note 1: Look, the clone technique is here. At this time, Anakin Skywalker was resisting the invasion of Confederacy of Independent Systems on Battle of Kamino, fighting Ventress for the first time on the planet Omar-Dunn, and struggling in the swamp of Jabiim planet, while still organizing 501st Legion to prepare to rescue Christophsis... These things all happened in July of 22BBY, and Jabiim Campaign continued until September, which means that his clone technique will still exist for a long time during this period, Oye.]
