Chapter 2240 Civil War breaks out

2241 Civil War Breaks Out

But now on the planet Mandalore, as Vitaly Orlov said, war, war against whom?

Although Super-Vizla is very aware of the chaos on the planet Mandalore and who is behind it, he will also face the same problem - who to fight against.

The choice of Super Vizsla is that everyone...

To be more precise, it is anyone who does not obey his rule! No matter if that person is a soldier, a mercenary, or a civilian.

So on January 11, 1 BBY, Super-Vizla issued an executive order in the name of Grand Duke Mandalore: Mandalore will enter a state of military control from now on. A strict curfew will be implemented, all residents are not allowed to go out unless necessary, and gatherings of more than three people are not allowed. All supplies will be rationed, all weapons will be confiscated, and all excess property will be confiscated.

All residents must perform 10 hours of compulsory labor every day. There is no salary or allowance for the labor. The purpose of the labor is simply to obtain the little supplies that are rationed every day.

This executive order is a bit funny, because the current Grand Duke of Mandalore is Bo-Katan Kryze, not Transcendent Vizsla. At the same time, his order is equivalent to depriving the people of everything, from property to freedom to labor, which means that the people have nothing. The last "kindness" he gave to the people of Mandalore was to just live.

Only an hour after the order was issued, Bo-Katan Kryze stood up and made a public speech. Her speech was very short, and it was summarized in one thing - the order issued by Super Vizsla just now had nothing to do with her. At the same time, from now on, she would resign the position of Grand Duke and find the future path of Mandalore as a civilian.

Super Vizsla immediately sent Death Watch to capture Bo-Katan Kryze, but they were intercepted by Night Owl. The two sides fought fiercely and suffered casualties on both sides, but Bo-Katan Kryze still escaped.

The Night Owls were originally part of the Death Watch, elite warriors personally selected by Bo-Katan Kryze and loyal to the Kryze family. Their fighting power is stronger than that of the Death Watch, and their only drawback is that they are fewer in number.

Then, after failing to capture Bo-Katan Kryze, Super-Vizla also responded by announcing that the Kryze family was a traitor who sold out the interests of the people of Mandalore for their own benefit. He should have been well prepared, and took out a speech to announce the ten major crimes of the Kryze family from Satine Kryze to the present.

The ten charges include: surrendering to the Galactic Republic, destroying the traditions of Mandalore, removing the armaments of Mandalore, accepting bribes, launching internal purges, colluding with Jedi Knights, supporting speculation, selling titles and official positions, illegally initiating a referendum, and having a chaotic private life.

He then declared a worldwide wanted list for Bo-Katan and Satine.

At the same time, Super-Vizla declared that the planet of Mandalore could not be without a master for a day. In order to better lead the people of Mandalore to regain their once glorious traditions, to rebuild the Mandalorian Crusaders, and to plant the flag of Mandalore throughout the galaxy, he had to step forward personally and take on this heavy responsibility.

He will become the king of Mandalore - the Extraordinary Mandalore! This title is particular, because Mandalore was once the title of the king of the Mandalorians, such as the Invincible Mandalore, the Ultimate Mandalore, etc. Of course, with the defeat of the Mandalorian Crusaders, the cleansing of Mandalore, the establishment of the New Mandalore faction and the voluntary abandonment of force, this title also disappeared in the long river of history. For thousands of years, the supreme leader of Mandalore has been the Grand Duke.

And when Astro Vizsla declared himself to be Astro Mandalore, on the one hand he was claiming that he would become the King of Mandalore, and on the other hand he was also indicating that he would restore the tradition of the Mandalorian Crusaders.

Not only that, Superhuman Vizsla also announced that he would hold a coronation ceremony in the royal palace of Sundari, the capital of Mandalore, one month later on February 2th, and officially become Superhuman Mandalore.

Then, Super Vizsla issued another ultimatum, requiring all residents to return home within 24 standard hours and stay for three full days to show their support for the new policy. During these three days, they had to figure out what to eat, and they would starve to death. After 24 hours, anyone who was still outside would be considered a traitor.

Such brutality and perverse behavior immediately aroused the strongest opposition from the people of Mandalore. A large number of people took to the streets to protest, demanding that Super-Vizla step down immediately, find Satine Kryze and let her become the Grand Duke of Mandalore again.

However, if it were normal, such behavior would be immediately suppressed by the security forces, but this time, all the security forces chose to stand by and watch. They didn't even do the most basic maintenance of order, just let these people make any noise, they just sealed the gates of the city hall and the security forces' station, and didn't care about anything else.

This show of weakness made the protesters even more excited. They shouted slogans, used huge holographic projections to project the image of Satine Kryze, and used high-power loudspeakers to broadcast declarations against Super-Vizla. There were also some homemade portraits and projections that portrayed Super-Vizla as a twisted and obscene little monster.

But after a tumultuous 24 standard hours, the situation suddenly changed!

A large number of spaceships took off from the Concordia satellite and dived directly into the atmosphere of the Mandalore planet, flying straight into the major cities! Above the parade crowds, transport ships opened their hatches, and Death Watch warriors with jetpacks on their backs descended from the sky, then ruthlessly shot at the unarmed civilians with blaster rifles! !

At the same time, the security forces who had been locked up before immediately opened the door and rushed out in droves. They were also fully armed and ready to fight, and had been waiting behind the door for a long time. Now that the order was issued, they immediately swarmed out and fired wildly at the demonstrators who were still shouting slogans before! !

  The crowd, which was completely unprepared and originally standing densely, was now subjected to the intensive fire of fully-automatic weapons. They immediately fell down one after another, and blood flowed like a river!

The marching groups ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of people. In such an inhumane attack, more than half of them were killed almost immediately.

After releasing the Death Watch soldiers, the transport planes also landed in the city square one after another. Army soldiers wearing simple combat armor also filed out of the transport planes and immediately ran to every street in the city according to the predetermined plan and put up barbed wire to block it.

Anyone who appears on the street, no matter who they are, will be killed on the spot!
