The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1765. Battle of Feida (4)

Time goes back three days to the northern border of the Milky Way, the planet Feida.

After confirming that Dark Jedi Master Cricket was ambushed by the geth and himself captured, after discussion, Lieutenant General Gilad Pellaeon agreed to the suggestions of several other Dark Jedi Masters and launched a major attack in that direction. A massive counterattack, driving back the geth's vanguard forces, and then launching an orbital bombardment of the location where Klickit was likely to be imprisoned.

This would kill Cricket without a doubt, but at the same time, it would also prevent the geth from doing anything to Cricket. For example, he guessed that he might want to make Cricket a corpse puppet.

After all, in Gilad Pellaeon's judgment, the Geth went to great lengths to set up a trap to capture a dark Jedi master, and there must be some special plot.

However, when the battle was unfolding, he still told the other three dark Jedi masters, led by the human female dark master Pach, to try to rescue Cricket if possible.

So under his mobilization, the Galactic Empire's defenders on the planet Feida spent a day gathering and mobilizing, and finally mobilized more than 10,000 Kamino clone soldiers and the same more than 10,000 well-trained ordinary soldiers. and all the armored units that could be found in the surrounding battle zone, launched a determined assault.

Pah took the lead with two other Jedi Masters and 10 Dark Jedi Knights and Apprentices, leading this elite force to launch the attack.

First, the Galactic Empire Air Force, which had air superiority, dispatched. After shooting down several Geth fighter jets that came to fight, they launched a frantic bombing of the Geth positions in the direction of the offensive!

High explosive bombs, thermobaric bombs, pulse bombs, and even proton bombs! The almost non-stop bombing and strafing seemed to have even turned that large area over! Under such intensity of bombing, it is completely unimaginable that anything could survive!

This is also Gilad Pellaeon's biggest magic weapon to resist the geth offensive - the powerful air superiority composed of more than 10,000 fighter jets.

But the combat experience of the past year tells them that even with this intensity of bombing, it is still impossible to completely eliminate the geth!

Immediately afterwards, Pah led the army to launch a determined attack!

Sure enough, a large number of geth and zombies emerged from the soil, from under the tunnels, and from the ruins, rushing over from all directions and shooting.

That’s right, authentic!

In order to deal with the Galactic Empire's absolute air superiority, the geth's response was to dig tunnels!

They dug countless criss-crossing tunnels in their occupied areas, which allowed the Galactic Empire's bombers to bomb repeatedly without success.

But no matter what, such bombings can still disrupt the geth's tactical deployment, making it difficult for them to assemble a large-scale force for a head-on confrontation.

The troops led by Pah and others continued to break through, and she could clearly feel that the Geth had also invested heavily in this direction! This shows that they don't seem to want to retreat at all!

This also confirmed their previous judgment that Geth might really want to do something!

Under the powerful offensive of the Galactic Empire army, the geth were still broken through the defense line and continued to retreat.

At this time, in outer space, in order to cooperate with the battle on the ground, the fleets of the Galactic Empire and the Geth also clashed again. On this battlefield, at least the fleets of both sides are equally matched.

There are fewer geth warships, but they are small and flexible, with fierce firepower and extremely fast speed. Although the warships of the Galactic Empire are larger in size, they are generally dominated by Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and there are more of them. That's all. Only then could they stop the geth's ferocious warships.

This is also because the Galactic Empire did not send more fleets to Gilad Pellaeon - the imperial military is actually not very willing to strengthen the strength of Dunn Wessex too much at this time. And Dunn actually feels that it's almost done now, and he won't strengthen Gilad's strength.

On the first day of the offensive, Pach led the army to advance more than 60 kilometers. However, during the fighting on the second day, the Geth also began to continuously increase their strength. Various corpse puppets came like a tide. According to the scanning results of the fleet in space, there were even more than 3 million corpse puppets swarming in this direction. And here it comes!

At the same time, the underground passages of the geth in this direction are becoming more and more dense, and there are more and more hidden firepowers.

This is not even an underground passage anymore, these are clearly underground bases!

If they hadn't launched such an attack, Pach and the others wouldn't even know when the Geth actually built such a huge project less than 100 kilometers away from the front line!

At this time, the Galactic Empire's counterattack was unsustainable, and Pach also felt that Cricket's Force induction seemed to be within this area.

So after another frenzied aerial bombardment, the Imperial troops began to retreat.

At the same time, Gilad Pellaeon has devoted his energy to the space battlefield. He commanded the fleet to advance in a dense defensive formation, enter the corresponding coordinates in advance, stabilize the position, and wait for the rotation of the planet Feida. At this time, the imperial fleet opened fire immediately!

Several powerful turbolaser cannons were fired at the ground, exploding directly where the geth army had the largest number!

The huge explosion even formed a mushroom cloud, and the terrible sea of ​​​​fire spread. The entire bombed area was like purgatory! In this bombing, the Imperial Fleet did not even have any reservations. They did not consider whether it would cause permanent environmental damage to the planet Feida. They simply fired at full power!

This is the power of orbital bombing!

Ten kilometers away from the bombing site, Pah stood on a high ground and looked at the huge flames rising into the sky from a distance, with a solemn expression.

She picked up the communicator and said slowly: "He's not dead, I can still feel it. Cricket's force... he... uh..."

Pah covered his temples, "No, I feel that his Force is becoming chaotic... Although he is not dead, the orbital bombing has still affected him! No... he must be killed!"

"Lord Cricket is likely to be brought into the underground base. If the construction site is very strong, it will be difficult for the Jaeger-level firepower to be effective." Gilad Pellaeon said in the communication, "The Geth's The counterattack is also very powerful, and I can’t keep the fleet there for a long time to bombard it.”

"Let's go there!" Pah's face was ferocious. "I can feel that if Cricket can't be killed at this time, he will probably kill all of us! What on earth are the Geth using him for!?"

"If that's the case, then please." Gilad Pellaeon said: "This orbital bombardment should have killed most of the geth troops in this area. You should have a chance. I will do my best to provide air and Covered by space.”

Pah nodded, and she said to a clone commander: "The command of the army is given to you. You lead the army and try to prevent geth and corpse puppets from other directions from entering here."

"Yes!" The clone commander stood at attention and gave a military salute.

Pah turned back to the other two dark Jedi masters and said, "Let's go! Go to the core of the bombing and see... where is the place where Cricket is being held!"
