The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1099、For whom?

On the bridge of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, Ling Liang was taken aback by Darth Malthael who suddenly appeared behind him, "It's... always... Master Death Angel."

Darth Masail nodded, and said: "Erisian City seems to be under control, very good. In the battle of the Eliadu galaxy, you first caused a hyperspace storm to expand the stellar flare, and then used the night The plan was to capture Erisian City in less than a month, which is good."

Ling Liang nodded, but accepted the praise calmly, and said: "Under such a battle situation, my plan can be implemented smoothly, and this is the result of everyone in the entire army fighting to the death."

Darth Malthael looked out the window at the still raging city with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "After this battle is successful, you will be promoted to general of the army."

Ling Liang stood at attention and saluted, and said, "I will fulfill my mission."

"Next, I will practice in closed doors. I will leave the Eliadu galaxy to you. Severance Tann, I have other uses."

"yes!"

...

21BBY, August 26th.

Elisian City, the capital of the planet Eriadu, was completely captured. In that battle, more than 1.7 million defenders of the Galactic Republic were killed and more than 22 million civilian casualties.

The Army of the Fourth Civilization also paid a heavy price for the damage of more than 400,000 robots and the casualties of more than 20,000 soldiers.

After Elisian City was captured, the Fourth Civilization Fleet immediately issued a global announcement, demanding that all cities on the planet Eriadu surrender immediately. If there is any resistance, they will be destroyed!

At the same time, the Fourth Civilization offered a reward of 100 million credits to track down the whereabouts of Willhuff Tarkin, the governor of the 18th Army of the Republic.

And in order to alleviate the current famine on the planet Eriadu, the Fourth Civilization also sent transport ships to transfer the population of some cities with the most severe famine to the Eriadu satellite.

But there is only so much they can do. After all, war is still the most important thing now.

...

On August 31, Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, was the command center of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic.

A communications soldier received the message and turned back to the officer and said, "Sir, Planet Eliadu has confirmed the surrender. Legion Governor Wilhuff Tarkin is still missing."

The officer did not immediately report the news, but looked around and said to him, "Follow me."

The communications soldier was brought into the conference room, and a new communications soldier immediately took his place.

In the meeting room, the officer said lightly: "Planet Eliadu has not surrendered, and is still stubbornly resisting."

"But... sir..." The communications soldier was a little confused.

"Okay, cut off all communications on the planet Eriadu, and then remember that the planet Eriadu is still resisting." The officer repeated.

"Yes, I understand, sir." The signal soldier immediately understood.

"After the matter here is over, I will allow you to retire, and the retirement allowance will be paid according to the rank of sergeant." The general said.

"Yes! Thank you, sir!"

...

"According to the calculations of astronomers, the hyperspace storm will stop completely in three days, that is, on August 34. At that time, the hyperspace channel will once again be able to pass through large-scale fleets." In the Galactic Parliament Building, in the speaker's office, Schiff Palpatine received Jedi Master Mace Windu, number two of the Jedi Order.

Master Windu nodded and said, "But is the parliament still arguing over whether to deliver food to save civilians or send a fleet to fight separatism?"

"What do you think? Master Windu." Palpatine asked rhetorically.

Master Windu's face darkened, "You have made many decisions on your own, Your Excellency the Speaker. Don't you think it's redundant to come to consult my opinion now?"

"You're right. While the Galactic Council is still arguing over such trivial things, the soldiers and civilians of Planet Eliadu are fighting bravely against the separatist attack, and they have suffered heavy casualties." Schiff Palpa Ting said, "You always think that I am overstepping too much in the parliament, but the reality lies here. From the planet Naboo 12 years ago to the planet Eliadu now, the disadvantages of the parliament have never changed. And We are still looking for victory."

While talking, Palpatine turned on the holographic projection, called up some communication records, and said: "Now, more than 80% of the area of ​​​​Erisian City has been occupied, and we have still been unable to contact Governor Tarkin. The situation on Yadu planet is imminent... We must make a decision as soon as possible."

"But I heard some news that the planet Eliadu has been occupied." Master Windu's face was stern.

"There are news like this every day. Eliadu is occupied, the Dron galaxy is occupied, and there is even a rebellion in Coruscant." Palpatine smiled wryly, "However, what we have to do is to make the correct Reaction."

"Hyperspace storm, there are still 3 days to end. You have assembled the fleet on the planet Dakanel." Master Windu said.

"Planet Eriadu, I can't hold on for another three days, my friend." Schiff Palpatine shook his head and sighed softly, "Without the planet Eriadu, we will completely lose the power of the western region of the galaxy." Initiative, this is something we absolutely do not want to see."

"So do you have any plans? Under such circumstances." Master Windu frowned.

"Well, when we attacked the Model sector, Master Yoda wasn't..."

"Don't even think about it! Palpatine!!" Master Windu was furious and scolded loudly: "You should know how much Master Yoda paid to forcefully open the hyperspace channel! No recovery!"

Schiff Palpatine also waved his hand in a rather awkward manner, and said: "This is just one of the countermeasures, and I will not force anything. In short, I will try my best to promote this battle plan in the parliament." Passage—to send fleets to the Eliadu system, not grain ships."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again regretfully, "I hope Master Yoda recovers soon, the Republic cannot do without him."

"Actually, this bill will definitely be passed, isn't it?" Master Windu no longer accepts his tricks, puts his hands on the desk, leans in front of Palpatine, and asks with gritted teeth, "So For your control over the council!"

"Hehe, none of us know before the bill is formally voted on." Palpatine smiled slightly.

...

"Open the hyperspace channel for the Eliadu galaxy, I will go, I will go now." In the high tower meeting room of the Jedi Temple, Master Yoda said lightly.

"This is impossible! Master Yoda! Your body..." Master Windu hurriedly wanted to stop it.

"The war between Sith and us, if this is it. Already..." Master Yoda wanted to say something meaningfully, but he closed his mouth only halfway through, and he took a deep look at Master Windu , looked very complicated, then turned around silently, and walked out of the meeting hall with a cane.

"It's not worth it, Master Yoda." Master Windu said behind his back.

"The billions of people on Planet Eliadu, for..." Master Yoda said without looking back, "It's very worth it, this matter."
