682. Hunting Malevolence (1)
Half an hour later, Ploo-Kong also enjoyed the same treatment as Master Ares-Nune a few days ago - the battleship was destroyed, and he and several Clone Trooper were squeezed into a small escape cabin.
Fortunately, General Grievous also had some bad premonitions. He didn't want to be entangled with Republic fleet, so he left several salvage ships to search here, find and destroy the life capsules one by one, while Malevolence continued to move forward, preparing to enter the hyperspace channel and leave here.
"Separatists's robots are hunting those escape pods that have lost power!" Clone Commander CC-3636 said while looking out the window.
"There is about 0.4 seconds between when we send the communication and when this super battleship launches electronic interference. It would be great if even part of the message is sent out. This is our only hope." Ploo-Kong said, "Before that, we have to try to save those rescue capsules. How long can your combat armor last in the vacuum of space?"
"The design time is 30 minutes." CC-3636 replied.
"Then, we need to make a plan." Ploo-Kong said in a deep voice.
"... Our signal listening station received a distress signal." In the manor where Naboo, Anakin's mother lives, Padmé-Amidala came over with a memory and said to Anakin-Skywalker.
Anakin-Skywalker took the memory and opened it. In the small holographic projection above, a figure wearing a mask was projected, but it was not clear due to severe interference.
[... We are... attacked... at...Gado system... super... device... please... please...~~~~~] After this period of serious interference and very short-lived sound, there was an endless sound of electric current.
"Has Republic Supreme Strategic Command been reported?" Anakin asked.
"It has been reported, but there is no response. As a lower-level strategic unit, they have no obligation to reply to us." Padmé said.
Anakin thought for a while and said, "No, the fact that the communication can reach us means that we are not far away. And the person who sent the message..."
He looked at the holographic projection that was playing repeatedly, his the Force stretched out, and frowned, "This is Ploo-Master Kong! This incomplete location..."
Anakin closed his eyes and opened them suddenly after a moment, "It's Abregado system! Ploo-Master Kong is there!"
He immediately connected to the communication of his master, Obi-Wan-Kenobi, "Master! I received the distress signal from Ploo-Master Kong! He must have encountered the super weapon of Separatists!"
"We are currently in a state of confinement. Anakin, please report this information to the Strategic Command and Jedi Order and let them make a decision." Obi-Wan said.
"I think the place where Ploo-Master Kong was attacked is not far from me. I believe I should be able to do something!" Anakin said.
"Don't mess around, Anakin." Obi-Wan thought for a while and clicked on the communicator. Soon, the communication between Master Yoda and Master Windu was connected.
"Ploo-Master Kong encountered Separatists's super weapon! It's Abregado system! We need to save him!" Anakin said to Master Yoda and Master Windu.
"Lost contact, Ploo-the fleet led by Master Kong." Master Yoda said, "No one survived after encountering the super weapon."
"Maybe Ploo-Master Kong is still alive! If so, he should also have key information about this super weapon!" Anakin said eagerly.
"Listen Anakin, I can understand your feelings, but the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Because of the activity of this super weapon, we have lost 7 battle groups. Now Hedia hyperspace lane has almost been paralyzed. If this continues, the planets along Hydian Way will be captured by Separatists." Master Windu said.
Anakin said, "If this is the case, then we need to find it and eliminate it as soon as possible!"
"Seven battle groups, 40 battleships, and more than 200,000 officers and soldiers, none of them survived after encountering this super weapon, including even the outstanding Jedi Master like Ares-Nune. Under such circumstances, if we are not sure, we will never be able to continue to invest our precious mobile fleet. We have lost too many battleships in Bespin Planet and Falrin Planet. If we continue to lose our battleships, it may not be long before the entire Outer Rim will no longer be ours." Master Windu said in a deep voice.
"In this case, we need information more urgently, and now maybe this information is in the hands of Ploo-Kong!" Anakin said.
"What if it's not? Ploo-Master Kong's chance of survival is very small, and do we still want to continue to invest in battleships to die?" Master Windu asked in return.
"There is no need to use a battleship! I will rescue Ploo-Master Kong myself!! He should not be far from Naboo!" Anakin almost lost his patience, he said loudly.
"I need to remind you once again that you are still being punished for what happened to Battle of Christophsis. Even if Chancellor Palpatine directly asks you to continue to perform your duty of protecting Senator Amidala, you should not leave Naboo!" Master Windu's expression darkened and he said sternly.
"Anakin, what you are talking about is a very dangerous thing." At this time, another communication came in, it was Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, Sheev-Palpatine, he said sincerely, "Separatists's super weapon is no small matter. We are making careful plans to encircle and suppress this thing, but before that, you really shouldn't act rashly."
"While we are talking here, maybe Ploo-Master Kong's life is passing away little by little!" Anakin said loudly.
"Believe us, it will be better if we handle this matter." Palpatine said.
"Ploo-Master Kong is not far away from Naboo! No matter what you do, I will save him! No need to risk sending a fleet! As long as we can rescue Ploo-Master Kong, we will know Separatists's super weapon!" Anakin said.
Master Windu obviously couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "I just hope that your behavior will not cause irreparable consequences."
Obi-Wan-Kenobi on the side said to smooth things over, "We will prepare immediately, Anakin, no matter what you want to do, you must calm down."
The communication from Jedi Order was cut off, and only Palpatine remained in the holographic projection. He sighed and said, "Believe me, Anakin, don't go, it will not be good for you."
