The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1430. New War Machine (Part 1)

On the outskirts of the Drey II satellite, a large number of Geth spaceships are working here without sleep, mining from the Drey planet, then rough processing on the huge industrial ship, and finally building a one-time airlift warehouse to send directly to the Drey In the industrial area on the other side of Satellite II.

With the extremely high efficiency of the Geth, the Del Rey II satellite has built a large number of industrial areas in another hemisphere away from the temple. These industrial areas are like bacterial infections, taking root on the surface of the satellite, and then growing rapidly.

And these industrial areas, about half of them, are built to help the protoss, and they also produce the industrial and building materials that the protoss needs. The other half is the Geth's own arsenal. A large number of Geth infantry individuals and battleship individuals continue to come off the production line and join the ranks that surrounded the Drey II satellite.

But so far, because this place is extremely remote, no one will visit except for a few smugglers who ran here to hide their debts a month ago. Of course, those smugglers were directly thrown to the planet Keschel for mining.

A protoss transport plane slowly lifted off from the landing platform behind the Twilight Covenant Temple, gradually accelerated, and broke away from the shackles of the planet's atmosphere and entered the cosmic space.

The surrounding defending geth spaceships ignored the dropship completely and just let it go.

At this moment, in the temple.

The priestess stood in front of the console, looked at the image of the Protoss transport plane on the screen, shook her head slightly, and said, "They are just a few children, and let them go deep into the territory of the Republic like this? This is crazy."

In the holographic projection next to him, Tang Xiao's figure was projected, and he said lightly: "This is a good opportunity, isn't it? In fact, you have to understand that this struggle between us and the Galactic Republic, and even the Galactic Empire in the future, will definitely It’s not the end of the current generation.”

He looked at the priestess, "The Galactic Republic is such a colossus, and its 25,000-year heritage cannot be shaken by us. Not only must we make ourselves stronger and fight them head-on, but at the same time, we must also be patient." Waiting for the opportunity, waiting for their internal chaos... This wait may be ten years, twenty years... By then, they will grow up too..."

The priestess turned her head to the side and said nothing.

"So, they are destined to be a generation living in the flames of war. You can't protect them. The only way is to let them grow up." Tang Xiao continued.

The priestess said in a deep voice: "At least now, I can protect them."

"As for Zhang Jiarui, I have proper arrangements." Tang Xiao said.

"The 'proper' in your mouth means that if the situation is not right, you would rather kill Zhang Jiarui, right? Even if all this may happen in front of his children?" The priestess said coldly, "Only this matter, I disagree, Darth Malthael."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out, leaving the last sentence, "Zhang Xucheng, Xiao Yan and the others are my students!"

...

The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, the Galactic Parliament Building.

"The battle that took place on the planet Onderon is simply absurd! How dare you call such a massacre a victory?!" Padmé Amidala, a member of the Naboo planet, stood in his own anti-gravity Questioned sharply on the platform.

"I think you haven't fully understood the cruelty on the battlefield, Congressman Amidala. But it's not your fault, because the military aspect is not your job." Wilhuff Tarkin stood In front of Palpatine, he replied with a normal expression, "What I want to say is that what we are facing is a robot army. Robot army, what does it mean?"

Tarkin looked around and said in a loud voice: "It means fearless! It means ruthless! It means never stop! They don't need to rest, they don't need to eat, they don't need to avoid stray bullets! They ignore the terrain and the weather , Ignoring supplies! No psychological counseling or morale boosting! After they come off the production line, their only purpose is to kill, destroy, and be destroyed."

He turned on a screen and said, "Even the B-1 combat robots that you think are cannon fodder, they are almost invincible under certain circumstances."

All I saw on the screen was a B-1 combat robot standing on the test platform surrounded by five strong soldiers. Then the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, but in this hand-to-hand fight, those muscular soldiers were no match for the B-1 combat robot at all.

I only saw the B-1 combat robot punch down, and the people on the opposite side were immediately sent flying for several meters, and the fists of those soldiers fell on the B-1 combat robot, which was actually hitting an iron block. it goes without saying.

In the end, the five soldiers were easily knocked down by the combat robot, lying on the ground and unable to stand up.

Tarkin smiled slightly, and threw away the remote control, "You see, this is our opponent. And I need to remind you, how many such robots have the Separatists produced? Ten billion or one hundred billion?"

He stared at Padmé, and said: "So, on Planet Onderon, our fighters are facing a line of defense built by such terrifying combat robots. And now, you come here to accuse them of causing too many casualties? Are you right about these Do you respect the soldiers who fought bravely and shed blood on the battlefield?"

"Such a battle will cause a huge burden on the Republic's finances! We must not command a battle like you, treating the lives of soldiers as a series of numbers!" Padmé Amidala said loudly, "The Republic's finances The red line has already been exceeded! The losses of the war, the pensions for the dead soldiers, the recuperation for the wounded soldiers, such expenditures continue to accumulate, and we can't even prepare a budget for next year!"

Tarkin's tone gradually turned cold, "But you also know that this is a life-and-death war, right? Senator Amidala."

"As far as I know, it's not!" Padmé Amidala stared viciously at the central platform where Schiff Palpatine, Mas Almeida, and Willhuff Tower stood. Gold trio.

"Hehehehe, okay. Congressman Amidala's concerns are very reasonable, and we must consider them." At this time, Speaker Schiff Palpatine stood up and said with a smile, "Onderon Star Wars, As well as the counterattack we are now launching on multiple fronts, it also shows that only clone troopers are the best choice in the face of the Separatist ruthless robot army. Here, I respect the late Jedi Order Master Seve-Dias, I would like to express my sincere thanks. It is his efforts that have created a clone army that can compete with robots..."
