"General, our defenders have retreated for more than ten kilometers. The defenders have been severely reduced. It is time to retreat!" In the Aereen Planet underground command center, the combat staff said to General Cheng Shitao, who was directing the operation in front of the holographic map.

Cheng Shitao looked at the hundreds of triangles representing clone combat groups on the holographic map and remained silent.

From this macro perspective, it can be seen that these Clone Trooper combat groups advance and retreat in an orderly manner, just like hundreds of nails drilling holes into their defense line.

At this time, he saw that one of them had advanced at least two kilometers and rushed directly into the triangle of one of his own frontline maintenance stations. He connected to the communication and asked, "What happened to Thorn Station?"

"General, a few Clone Trooper broke in. They ran around and killed many people!" Gunshots and explosions kept coming from the other end of the communication. "The ammunition depot! The ammunition depot responded immediately! We can't let them infiltrate!"

The situation over there is obviously very critical, and Commander doesn't even bother to talk to Cheng Shitao.

Cheng Shitao looked extremely ugly, put down the communicator, and said, "Blow up the equipment and retreat."

"Yes!!"

As the retreat order was issued, all the robots at the Aereen Planet headquarters immediately launched a desperate charge. Fourth Civilization Army and the civilian staff quickly planted the bombs in an orderly manner according to the plan, and then headed towards the transport ship.

However, at this moment, Jedi Master Shen-Qiaoen, who was directing operations on the front line, suddenly looked in a direction ahead and said seriously, "They want to run!"

"General, do you want to pursue me?" clone Commander asked.

"No, you can't catch up. Continue to launch the attack as planned and capture the opponent's command center. This is obviously an energy supply center. Be sure to find where it is supplying energy!" Shen Qiaoen said, jumping directly onto a hover motorcycle, instantly turning the engine to the maximum, pulling out a long line of smoke and quickly disappearing from the field of vision.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Aereen Planet were raided by Galactic Republic and fell an hour ago. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, who was in charge of the development of Extractor Project, is at Aereen Planet and has lost contact." Helmut-Zemo reported.

Francis-Underwood rubbed his forehead. Dealing with such military affairs was indeed not his strength, but now Tang Xiao disappeared after leaving a sentence, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Only after Tang Xiao left did some decision-making seem so dangerous.

In their impression, Tang Xiao was extremely decisive every time he made a decision, with almost no hesitation. And some seemingly unrelated decisions always prove to be foresight in the end. The most important thing is that they rarely make mistakes, which has led Fourth Civilization to where it is now.

So much so that it gives everyone the impression that Tang Xiao is the one who knows everything and is omnipotent. In addition, these senior executives also know Tang Xiao's identity as Sith Lord. The mysterious the Force gives Tang Xiao a layer of mythology.

And now...

"Aereen Planet was suddenly attacked. How was the intelligence leaked? How did Republic army enter Hutt Space? Moreover, Galactic Republic entered Hutt Space, does it mean that Hutt's attitude has changed?" Francis-Underwood leaned on the back of the sofa, thinking deeply.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Make an appointment for me Hutt Alok-Besadi. I must understand Hutt's attitude towards this matter now. In addition, warn Count Dooku about the attack on Aereen Planet E requires Confederacy of Independent Systems to immediately defend Krant Planet. Extractor's experimental facilities must not be destroyed. Then, thoroughly investigate all personnel and material transportation information of Aereen Planet to find out the reason for the intelligence leak!"

"I think we may need to take away some data from Krant Planet to prevent valuable experimental data from falling into the hands of Galactic Republic." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said in a deep voice.

"If the research data and experimental models are taken away, the most direct impact will be that Extractor Project needs to be postponed. Based on our current experimental progress, we should be able to complete the project of installing the energy extraction device of Extractor on the spacecraft within 3 months. After all, our final research topic is how to solve the problem of energy interference between the hyperspace engine and the energy extraction device. If the experimental model is dismantled, it will take at least a month to reinstall it," said Dr. Feng Yongwang, who is currently in charge of scientific research.

Francis-Underwood thought for a while and said, "First make a copy of the experimental data as a backup, and then send an additional fleet to strengthen Krant Planet's defense, so as to ensure safety without affecting the progress of the project."

"Having said that, I still have to remind you, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. If you pursue a big and comprehensive mission, you may lose both ends, and greater benefits mean greater risks. And Krant Planet is far away in the Hutt Sector. Whether it is us or Confederacy of Independent Systems, it will be very troublesome for the fleet to get there." Matt-Hona said on the side.

"Now that you've decided, let's do it." Francis-Underwood didn't want to argue with him, but said slowly.

However, that night, when Francis-Underwood was working at Prime Minister's Office, they suddenly received an emergency report - Krant Planet was attacked by Galactic Republic.

There was a click, and the red wine glass in Francis's hand was crushed by him. The broken glass cut his palm, and blood dripped from it.

At the same time, Mid Rim, Dustig sector (Dustig sector), Haruun Kal (Haruun Kal).

This is a small to medium-sized planet with a diameter of 10,120 kilometers. If viewed from outer space, 70% of the planet seems to be covered by oceans. This seems to be a planet with a very suitable environment.

However, this is not the case. The oceans seen in outer space are actually oceans of gas brought out by the violent volcanic movements of the planet hundreds of millions of years ago, and these gases are absolutely fatal to life.

The only places on the planet that can survive are the huge mountains that penetrate deep into the atmosphere due to volcanic movements. Only by living in such places can we not be affected by the ocean of toxic gases.

This also resulted in the nomadic model of the residents on Haruun Kal, who used mountains as tribal units. The people living on Haruun Kal were called Korunnai (Korunnai), which means Uplander in the local language.

The genes and appearance of Korunnai are almost the same as those of humans, except that their skin is generally darker. In addition, almost all Korunnai are Force-sensitive. According to Jedi Order's research, this is most likely because they are the descendants of Jedi Knight who fell here during Sith Wars.

It is such a hell-like planet that gave birth to great people like Jedi Master Mace-Windu.
