871. Spaceport attack

Five days later, late at night.

boom!!! A violent explosion was set off from the only spaceport in Pelek-Baw City, waking up all the people in their sleep.

The tower-like spaceport, which was more than 300 meters high, was directly blown up in the middle. The huge building collapsed. The more than ten spacecraft still docked in the spaceport were all buried in the rubble with the explosion.

There is only one spaceport in Pelek-Baw City, and all spaceships take off and land in this spaceport.

The environment of Haruun Kal is very harsh, not only due to the chaotic electromagnetic environment, but also because fungal spores that can eat up and corrode metal are everywhere. Korunnai uses Bacta Amber to maintain its own metal appliances, but these smugglers do not have this condition.

But after the spacecraft landed, it couldn't just hang out. It had to be sterilized immediately, so they installed a very expensive device to protect the spacecraft with a unique ionosphere, and then thoroughly sterilized it before it could dock into the hangar.

The planet's administrative offices, laboratories, weapons depots and other important locations also have similar devices. Because of the price of this device, it cannot be widely used.

Naturally, this explosion was a direct slap in the face to the Pelek-Baw City defenders. Not only was it an economic loss, it was also because the spaceport was blown up, making it temporarily impossible for Pelek-Baw City to take off and land large spacecrafts - not because it was impossible, but because without the sterilization and ionospheric protection in the spaceport, the spacecraft would soon be damaged, and no one could afford such losses.

The leader of the smugglers, Colonel Lord Gupton, suddenly became furious and ordered the entire city to be sealed immediately. No one was allowed to leave. At the same time, he ordered his men to find the murderer at all costs!

According to calculations, a large amount of explosives would be needed to blow up this huge spaceport directly in the middle. How these explosives were transported in, the people of the Guardian team had no way of knowing.

However, as the investigation deepened, the Guardian team of Pelek-Baw City suddenly discovered that the explosive that blew up the spaceport was actually a large amount of compressed explosive gas! After further investigation, they discovered to their horror that these compressed explosive gases came from their own weapons arsenal!

Roz-Gupton was even more angry and immediately jailed all the guards at the weapons depot and spaceport for interrogation, but no matter how tortured they were, no information could be obtained. While they were crying and complaining, they insisted that everything was normal when they were on duty, and not even a fly came in.

After investigating and monitoring, we couldn't find any clues. Even the number of compressed explosive gas tanks in the weapons depot was normal during the monitoring. But when I went to check on site, more than ten cans were missing! And these more than ten cans are right under the surveillance camera!

This is simply a slap in the face right under their noses!

It was not until the end that the investigators checked the surveillance after the explosion and discovered something was wrong.

At a certain point 5 hours after the spaceport was blown up, the more than ten cans of compressed explosive gas in the weapons depot suddenly disappeared from the surveillance screen, as if they had never existed!

The technicians began to check the monitoring equipment, but everything was normal and there was no trace of intrusion. The investigation hit a dead end.

In the end, they could only ask those Dark Jedi Knight to investigate. The two brothers Karoc and Vinoc and Quinlan-Vos went to the scene and weapons depot to investigate. At first, there was no trace, but later, they still noticed some disturbance from the Force.

"Jedi Knight did it! Jedi Knight sneaked into our city!" Karoc roared.

"Their goal must be Organic Resonator! Let Colonel Lotz strengthen the defense immediately, and never let Jedi Knight succeed!" Vinoc also said loudly.

Quinlan-Vos was silent, with a solemn expression.

The information was naturally provided by him. In the camp outside the city that was attacked before, he only noticed a little disharmony, and there seemed to be some traces of the Force. Only he who had experienced hundreds of battles and had been engaged in espionage work for a long time could understand this feeling.

So in order to confirm this, he took the risk to use the contact code of Jedi Order to leave clues. It seemed risky to put the information in the ant hole, but in fact, the Haruun Kal specialty ants contained a large amount of acidic substances. Once he found that something was wrong, he could directly use the Force to make the ants self-destruct, and the acidic substances would naturally completely corrode the clues.

But the other party also answered with the contact code of Jedi Order. Although there was no actual content, it also showed his identity, so he felt relieved.

Originally, Quinlan-Vos were still thinking about how to quietly cooperate with this Jedi Knight to destroy Separatists's secret weapon. Unexpectedly, the other party actually came directly with a big one!

Under the watchful eyes of countless Guardians, a one-ton compressed explosive gas was sent to the space port and then detonated! This move alone showed the opponent's top level strength, which even Quinlan-Vos himself felt inferior to. He believed that this was the answer the other party gave him, and it was also a way for the other party to show his strength.

From Quinlan-Vos's point of view, blowing up the spaceport is tantamount to telling him that I am super awesome and nothing can trouble me, so if you have any plans, feel free to come over!

This also strengthened his confidence and decided to adopt some more risky and radical plans.

Quinlan-Vos looked at the pair of dark twins in front of him calmly, and thought to himself, if the other party has such strength, then there should be no problem in killing these two people head-on...

The next step is to create opportunities for the other party.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous residential house in Pelek-Baw City, Clone Trooper Rainbow rarely got angry.

He didn't know where the courage came from, and roared at Dream Sisters, "No matter what, your behavior is too much!! No matter what your abilities are, now you have blown up the spaceport, collapsed! Destroyed! Those Balawai have already exploded! Three waves of investigators have come today! Now the city is completely closed, is it fun? The entire city is under complete martial law and the secret weapons are destroyed? Dream on!!"

Luna-Huan stroked his single ponytail tied on the right side, pouted and said, "What? If the spaceport is blown up, they won't be able to send secret weapons into space."

Luna Mengke said calmly, "It can't be stopped. Separatists If we risk losing a transport ship, we can still forcefully land and send things into space."

Rainbow almost collapsed, "Then you are still messing around with your sister? Oh my God! You clearly just wanted to create an explosion..."
