Chapter 2389 Fang Duo's Fall

2390: The Fall of Fangduo
When Alexia Ashford's hive was raided by the Inquisition, the commander of the Dawn Kingdom's landing army in the area immediately deployed troops to surround the hive.

This raid by the Inquisition was indeed somewhat unexpected by the military command and intelligence departments of the Kingdom of Dawn.

In fact, the Inquisition's hostility towards the Kingdom of Dawn had lasted for a year or two before the war. The two major inquisitor organizations of the Galactic Empire, the Inquisition, are still searching for Jedi Knights throughout the galaxy, while the Inquisition's function has gradually shifted to specifically dealing with the Kingdom of Dawn.

Prior to this, the main mode of action of the Inquisition was still based on rear-line infiltration, mainly assassinating key figures, collecting important intelligence, etc.

For example, many senior officials, such as the Deputy Minister of the Administrative Department of the Haven Star District and the Commander of the Indupar Planet Defense Force of the Sesvenna Star District, were killed by the Inquisition.

The Kingdom of Dawn also responded tit for tat, with the young talents of the Twilight Covenant attacking one after another to block the actions of the Inquisition. Not only that, the National Security Bureau also invested a lot of manpower to fight against the Inquisition.

At the same time, the Military Intelligence Department also deployed many ghost agents to infiltrate and assassinate senior officials of the Galactic Empire and destroy military organizations, which was also very effective.

However, such actions and games were basically carried out behind enemy lines. As for the front line, it was not the stage for them to perform.

The fundamental reason is that the Galactic Empire is no longer the Galactic Republic supported by the Jedi Order. The current Galactic Empire can control few dark side Force sensitives, and even fewer can be used for combat. Moreover, most of them have been organized by Darth Sidious for his own dark side research.

The number of Force-sensitive people in the Kingdom of Dawn is also very small. Most of the hundreds of students in the Twilight Covenant are not yet adults. The Sky Squad and Ogus Squad that are able to go out on missions are already the best among them.

Therefore, both sides rarely use Force-sensitive people on the front line. Because in fact, in the front line battlefield with gunfire flying, Force-sensitive people often die on the spot because they are affected by the flames of war and fail to use their advantages.

For example, if a Force-sensitive person is on an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, and then the Star Destroyer is pursued and destroyed by the Kingdom of Dawn's Revelation-class battleship, then this Force-sensitive person is likely to not be spared. Even if he flies a fighter jet in advance, if he is caught in the firepower net of several Guard-class anti-aircraft destroyers, he will still have no way out.

Therefore, the Dawn Kingdom's Supreme Command lacked a contingency plan for the Galactic Empire's direct use of powerful Force-sensitive individuals to launch a surprise attack.

For example, if they raided Alexia's nest directly this time, even ordinary Force-sensitive people would die. Only the most powerful Jedi Knights or Sith Lords would have the opportunity to raid Fangduo Planet under the heavy siege of the Second Task Force, and then break through countless anti-aircraft firepower networks to reach the nest directly.

Then, under the guard of countless mutant creatures in the mother nest, he rushed to Alexia. After that, he was able to defeat Alexia Ashford, who was at least at the top Jedi Master level, and was able to kill her.

I'm afraid that there are so many such beings in the Milky Way that you can probably count them on one hand.

However, the Galactic Empire not only sent out existence of this level, but also sent it directly to the front line!
This can only mean one thing - the war situation on Fangduo Planet made the Galactic Empire feel extremely threatened. In other words, they were getting angry.

The Kingdom of Dawn did not have a plan to deal with an invasion by a top-level warrior like Hydra, so the Hydra's surprise attack was successful...

?
In the sky outside the mother nest, three Victory II-class star destroyers, three Steadfast-class cruisers, and seven Twin Blade-class electronic warfare light cruisers completely blocked the sky of the mother nest. Several formations of Ghost fighters and Banshee fighters were hovering in the air, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

On the ground, more than 20000 B-1 combat robots arrived one after another, as well as more than 1000 DW-1 dwarf spider combat machines that were urgently dispatched specifically for fighting in the complex and narrow environment of the mother nest.

These are the defense forces urgently dispatched by the combat commander. Although they failed to stop the invasion of Hydra, they at least need to make sure that the invaders cannot escape.

However, they did not dare to launch an attack directly because they did not know the situation inside the mother nest. In the initial communication, Alexia Ashford also told the commander that there was no need to worry about her, as she had enough power to kill the invaders.

As the queen of the hive, Alexia possesses the power of the entire hive, plus she has become a perfect fusion of the T-Veronica virus, and she actually has the power of the Force. With such multi-faceted blessings, Alexia Ashford has every reason to believe that she is enough to destroy any invader.

Therefore, in order to prevent the mother nest from being destroyed, the fleets and armies assembled around it all chose to stay on standby to avoid blind actions that would cause unnecessary damage to the mother nest.

However, the battle situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Alexia Ashford sent out an emergency distress signal, and at that moment, one of the Victory II-class Star Destroyers in the sky aimed directly at the mother nest and opened fire decisively! The heavy turbolaser cannon reduced its power to the minimum, and then fired a shot!
Boom~~~!!! A corner of the mother nest was suddenly bombarded by the powerful turbolaser cannon, and a violent explosion broke out!

At this moment, Hydra was already confident of victory, and the lightsaber in her hand had already chopped down towards Alexia's head! !
Boom!!! The beam fired by the heavy turbolaser cannon instantly hit the mother nest, setting off a devastating explosion!

Hydra instantly felt the coming of the crisis. According to the prediction of the Force, if she chopped down with this sword, she would definitely not be able to survive the bombing. So she immediately retreated quickly and rolled to hide under a cavity in the incubator.

Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~!!!

A violent explosion suddenly occurred, and a huge gap was blown out in the huge mother nest!

The Hydra hid under the cavity and avoided the first and most powerful shock wave. However, the next second, an incomparable sense of crisis suddenly hit.

Buzz! ! ! ! !
The two lightsabers collided fiercely! Hydra's lightsaber barely blocked the fatal sword at the last second!
Even if she was slightly slower by 0.1 second, this sword would be enough to take her life!
Crack! ! A powerful lightning bolt struck, and Hydra quickly retreated, blocking the blow with her lightsaber. But the powerful force contained in the lightning still made her stagger, and she almost couldn't stand still.

At this time, Hydra finally saw who the figure was that came with the Star Destroyer's cannon. It was a Twi'lek, a beautiful, charming, and seductive Twi'lek woman. The left of the two tentacles called "Leku" behind the Twi'lek's head had been broken, and a string of colorful gems was inlaid as a replacement. She was wearing a tight black combat uniform, showing off her slim and hot figure without any scruples, and the blood-red lightsaber in her hand, but added a deadly threat to such seductiveness and beauty.

"I can smell your stinking Force across the entire planet, Inquisitor." Darth Lilith said with a charming smile.

Hydra held two lightsabers in front of her, and her eyes were already looking at the gap that had just been blown out by the Star Destroyer's fire. It was obvious that she no longer wanted to fight and just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"Want to escape? I'll let you go." Darth Lilith took a step back and made way.

"Darth Lilim. Her original name is Aedra Ketis. She is a Twi'lek and was once a Jedi apprentice. Her master believed that she was one of the apprentices with the best chance of becoming a Jedi Master." Hydra reported the other party's background like a treasure. "My original plan was to fight you, but I didn't expect that the power of this mother body was beyond my expectations."

"Hehehe... I will accept you as my toy. I have countless experiments that I want to try out on you slowly..." Alexia sneered.

"It's a big deal to be able to capture a great judge!" Darth Lilim laughed loudly, and her figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, she was waving a whip of light and quickly fought with the Hydra. For a moment, the whip shadows filled the sky with endless lightning. The two people's attack and defense exchanged extremely quickly, and even Alexia couldn't keep up with their movements.

However, only the two combatants knew that this seemingly evenly matched battle actually meant that Hydra was already at the end of its strength.

She had already paid a huge price to defeat Alexia, and now she would be overwhelmed to fight against Darth Lilim! However, she relied on the foresight of the Force to hold on until now.

But unlike Alexia Ashford, Darth Lilim also has the ability to predict the future with the Force! And her power in the Force is no less than that of Hydra!
The attacks of the two were still as fast as lightning. In an instant, the lightsabers and light whips had collided hundreds of times!
The Hydra fought and retreated, moving towards the gap in the mother nest, but Darth Lilim did not give her the chance at all, and chased after her relentlessly, vowing to stop the Grand Inquisitor right here and there! !
Buzz~~~!!! A bloody light flashed by!

The Hydra let out a mournful cry, and the next second, her figure flashed out from the gap. At the same time, the combat robots outside opened fire one after another, but the distance of the gunshots was getting farther and farther.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Those clumsy combat robots were no match for Hydra, the Grand Inquisitor who was determined to escape!
Darth Lilim did not pursue him. She bent down and picked up a left arm that was severed from the shoulder. She sneered and licked the broken part with her tongue. A twisted smile appeared on her face. "Sure enough, the blood of such a beautiful woman can make me more excited..."

"She is a huge threat. I believe that even in the Galactic Empire, there are not many strong people like her. You should chase her and make sure she is killed completely." Alexia Ashford said coldly.

"Rather than killing her, I want to enjoy her charming body..." Darth Lilith had an intoxicated expression, but threw the broken arm to Alexia as if throwing away garbage.

A tentacle immediately stretched out, wrapped around the broken arm and stuffed it directly into the body, quickly swallowing it completely.

"Look, aren't you the same?" Darth-Lilim looked at the tentacles jokingly.

"The flesh and blood of Force-sensitive people is an important way for me to collect unique DNA information. I will not hide my desire for their bodies." Alexia replied very coldly, "So, you won't pursue her?"

"Don't worry... She can't escape my pursuit anymore." Darth Lilim showed an intoxicated smile.

"I hope you can make sure of this. Because I already feel that she is a deadly threat to me," said Alexia Ashford.

Darth Lilim looked at Alexia and smiled. "Oh? That's not something you would say. What's going on? Where is that proud Umbrella Supreme Director?"

"I underestimated the power of Force-sensitives. I had a very wrong model calculation of the power gap between ordinary Force-sensitives and powerful Force-sensitives. At present, I think that I am no match for a being of the level of Hydra. I will admit this directly." Alexia replied.

"Don't worry. There are no more than twenty people like this in the entire galaxy." Darth Lilim waved her hand, "And starting today, there will be nineteen."

"I hope so..." Alexia said, then returned to the center of the incubator and sank back into the layers of petals, disappearing.

Darth Lilim walked out of the nest, and a shuttle had landed and hovered in front of her, with four ghost fighters guarding around.

[I hope you have resolved this problem. Darth Lilim.] A holographic projection of Admiral Severance Tann appeared in the center of the shuttle's control console.

"Attack the planet Fangduo with all your might. Everything is settled. Hydra, I will kill her." Darth Lilith waved his hand, with a murderous tone in his voice.

……

In fact, there was no need for Darth Lilith to remind them. Under the command of Admiral Severance Tann, the army of the Kingdom of Dawn had already swept across the planet Fangduo.

Even though Alexia Ashford was seriously injured in the attack of Hydra and the speed at which the mother nest hatched Veronica virus mutant monsters was almost stagnant, the millions of mutant monsters hatched before were enough to destroy the ground defense of the planet Fangduo.

Factory after factory was destroyed, industrial area after industrial area was captured, and the resistance of Fangduo Planet has collapsed.

As for the Galactic Empire, it seemed as if it had accepted its fate and never sent reinforcements to help Fangduo. From the Empire's perspective, the Governor of the Fourth Army, Wilhuff Tarkin, who was ordered to support Fangduo, assembled a fleet but never set out.

Just sit there and watch the complete collapse of Fangduo Planet!
