Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 716: Invasion of Aereen (Part 1)

"DS-1..." Cheng Shitao's face was not very good-looking, "Although I don't know what this project is, I remember that Dawn is firmly opposed to this Huge Project that costs Hundreds of Billions of Credits." Plure Barron smiled and said: "But because members of the Trade Federation, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Commerce Guild agreed to implement this project, the Governor of Dawn also voted for it in the vote a week ago. "

Cheng Shitao frowned. As one of the Top Core Members of the Fourth Civilization, he knew that Tang Xiao would is not here right now, and what's even worse now is that not only is he absent, but he's also lost contact.

Although Tang Xiao is still there on the surface, this is an identical T-850 Robot pretending to be himself. In fact, some important decisions come from the current Prime Minister Francis Underwood.

Well, since Underwood agreed to this project, it means that he has his own considerations, or if he wants to continue to oppose it in the absence of Tang Xiao, he must go to the Confederacy of Independent Systems Separatist Council on the Raxus to express opinions.

It seems that this matter can only be discussed after Tang Xiao returns.

Cheng Shitao said with a sullen face: "In any case, even if the DS-1 Project is started, it does not mean that our current Decimator Project will be terminated! The next stage of the Experiment needs a Larger Energy Supply, and it must be carried out on Aereen. Add at least 3 Reactors to the top!"

"But there is still...no money." Plure Barron made a helpless expression, but in fact, she was acting.

"I don't know about this. If we can't start the next stage of the Experiment, then the Research on the Decimators won't be able to proceed. You can go to Count Dooku to explain this matter yourself." Cheng Shitao retaliated and kicked the ball back.

"It's hard for me to do this, General Cheng." Plure Barron looked embarrassed.

While they were arguing endlessly, suddenly the Communicators on their bodies uttered harsh sounds at the same time. Cheng Shitao was startled, and he and Plure Barron looked at each other, feeling that the situation was not good at the same time.

Sure enough, it was a message from the Command Center, "General! Director! We have been invaded!"

Cheng Shitao reacted very quickly, and said decisively: "Get ready for Battle immediately! I'll come to the Command Center right away!"

After finishing speaking, he left the trembling Plure Barron and ran towards the Command Center quickly.

Entering the Command Center, the Combat Alarm had already sounded, and the Defenders of the Base immediately began to enter a Battle State. Soldiers ran out of the Barracks one after another and entered the Combat Positions.

Cheng Shitao came to the Holographic Map of the Command Center and asked, "How many enemies are there?"

"A Venator-class Star Destroyer!" The Staff Officer replied.

Cheng Shitao frowned, "Why is there no early warning for Hyperspace Detection?"

"I'm not sure, the other party may have come through the Tributary of Hyperspace, or there may be other methods..." The Staff Officer from Dawn shook his head.

"And our Base is one our the Top Secrets, how did the other party come here?" Cheng Shitao pondered.

"It's you! The required Energy Supply is too much!" Plure Barron, who rushed over in the last step, ran over and started throwing the blame.

Cheng Shitao's face was gloomy, "This is a normal test requirement! Now I ask you to immediately check the procedures of the previous 10 Energy Transportations! Are you using the Specified Escort Fleet?"

"This..." Plure Barron immediately faltered, and began to talk about him from left to right, "That...that doesn't explain the problem! I'm also trying to save costs... Now the funds are already tight..."

"So, where is the previous Escort Fleet?!" Cheng Shitao realized that something was wrong, raised his voice, and approached Plure Barron step by step.

Afraid of being beaten, Barron manipulated her Droid to keep backing up, tremblingly said: "This... this... I was escorted by a Group of Smugglers, and they offered a relatively low price... It is said that they used to be a Group of Prisoners..."

"If this is the case, then where did the saved money go?! Why didn't the Energy Supply of the Krant Experimental Base increase, but decrease instead?!" Cheng Shitao asked sharply.

"This...that...I...ah..." Plure Barron stammered, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Seeing her appearance, Cheng Shitao immediately understood everything. He snorted coldly, turned around, went to the Staff officer, and said, "Activate the Planetary Defense System! The Starfighters take off! We must prevent the other party from Landing! Send a Message for help to the rear!" "

The Hangars on Aereen opened one after another, and Hundreds of Vulture Droid Starfighters swarmed out, flying towards the solitary Venator-class Star Destroyer.

Cheng Shitao looked at the Warship displayed on the Sensors, and was a little puzzled, "This Warship looks tattered, where did it come from? Could it be that it retreated from other Battlefields and came here by mistake?"

But seeing that the Battleship had begun to open the Hangar Platform, and a Large Number of V-19 Torrent Starfighters took off to meet the Enemy, Cheng Shitao knew that the opponent was prepared.

At this time, the Orbital Defense System on Aereen also opened fire. A Huge Anti-Orbital Cannon fired in the direction of the Venator-class Star Destroyer. There was a Deafening Cannon Sound outside the window, accompanied by a slight earthquake.

However, the Venator-class Star Destroyer was constantly adjusting its direction, and almost every adjustment happened to avoid the shooting of the Anti-Orbital Cannon ahead of time. Only two attacks hit the Venator-class Star Destroyer, and ripples rippled on the Deflector Shield.

But for this kind of interval attack was too slow, the Venator-class Star Destroyer has enough time to recharge the Deflector Shield, which is almost equivalent to no damage.

Among that Battle Group of Starfighters, there were surprisingly two Delta-7 Starfighters mixed in! The two Delta-7 Starfighters were flying up and down at such a fast speed that you couldn't even see their Flight Trajectory clearly.

You can only see the Light Bands left by the Tail Flames of the two Starfighters flash across in an instant, and then the nearby Vulture Droid Starfighters were all destroyed in pieces!

"Jedi Knight!" Cheng Shitao's face was extremely ugly, "Is there any response from the rear?"

"The Communication Interference is very serious. I'm not sure whether the rear has clearly known our request for help." The Communication Soldier's face was full of panic.

"Then our Anti-Jamming Device..." Before Cheng Shitao finished speaking, he understood everything when he saw Plure Barron's evasive appearance, and roared, "Lock this Woman up for me!!"

"Yes!" Two Soldiers of the Fourth Civilization Army immediately walked over, dragged Plure Barron off her Droid Body without any explanation, and walked towards the door.

"General! The Opposing Starfighters are approaching! They might want to board directly..." As soon as the Staff Officer finished speaking, the Twin Turbolaser Turrets fired from the Venator-class Star Destroyer directly penetrated the Thin Atmosphere of Aereen. Hitting the ground, It exploded with a bang!

Boom~~~~~!!!! A violent earthquake came, and flames rising hundreds of meters high could be seen directly through the window.

"Start the Emergency Evacuation Procedure immediately! Move to the Underground Command Center! All Marines enter the position and prepare for the Anti-Landing Operation!" Cheng Shitao said immediately, "Check the Documents and destroy all that should be destroyed! Hurry up!!"
