The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2392: The End of the Battle (Part )

"In that case, let's prepare to detonate. The fleet should prepare to retreat." Darth Vader said, "Notify the ground forces that they only have three days to retreat. During this period, all combat missions should be carried out by the robot forces."

"Yes! Execute the retreat order immediately!" The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, responding loudly. There was obvious relief in his voice.

During this period, the operation to land on the planet Yago-Dur was extremely difficult, it was almost arduous.

Even under Darth Vader's strict order to retreat or die, the Imperial Army paid heavy losses and still only occupied three underground cities. For this, the Imperial Stormtroopers lost more than 17 soldiers and the robot troops were damaged more than 40.

There are now only less than 15 stormtroopers and about 30 robots left fighting underground.

Since yesterday, Darth Vader asked them to continue the attack, but these troops have generally suffered serious casualties, are under-organized, and have almost no heavy armored units. The result of such a forced attack can be imagined.

The staff officers were even worried that if they continued like this, it would be difficult for the Imperial Army to maintain its existing achievements in the underground battlefield, and they might be pushed back by the Separatist Army.

And now Darth Vader has finally given the order to retreat. Although it may not be possible to withdraw all the ground troops within three days, at least for these officers, this torturous battle has finally ended.

The order to retreat was quickly issued, but in batches to ensure the orderly withdrawal. A large number of transport planes began to transport combatants back to the fleet, and they abandoned medium-sized equipment including AT-AT walkers, and even abandoned the wounded who were not transported in time.

Because in such a retreat, what Darth Vader needs is to preserve the manpower, rather than talking about human rights or humanity, or letting the wounded evacuate first.

Nothing!

However, what the staff officer was worried about did not happen. The underground battle on Yago-Dur had been going on for nearly two months, and both sides had paid a heavy price. Therefore, even if the Given defense forces on Yago-Dur discovered that the imperial army was retreating, they had no spare energy to launch a counterattack.

The real counterattack was launched on the space battlefield. The First Task Force led by Ling Liang had been harassing Darth Vader's fleet, making it impossible for him to concentrate all his forces to bomb the planet. In addition, more than 100 battleships and more than 400 small and medium-sized warships were reinforced from the Dawn Planet, which expanded Ling Liang's forces and posed a greater threat.

Although it was still unable to shake Darth Vader's main fleet, the existence of General Ling's First Task Force forced Darth Vader to remain vigilant at all times, and to separate a part of the fleet and continuously launch attacks in an attempt to completely annihilate Ling Liang's fleet.

Ling Liang would never give him a chance to fight, and the two sides kept playing cat and mouse. This way, Yago-Dur Planet could hold out for a longer time.

Compared to the Galactic Empire, which was blocked from receiving news, Ling Liang could get the latest news about the battle on Fangduo Planet every day. She now understood that Fangduo City, the old capital of Fangduo Planet, had been captured, and the ground forces of the Kingdom of Dawn were approaching the new capital, Oredin City.

This means that General Severance Tann's main fleet will soon be able to free up its hands to attack Darth Vader's main fleet from the front and back!
Ling Liang had already started the counterattack plan, and she would lead the fleet forward immediately after receiving the notification from Severance Tann, and try to delay Darth Vader. However, General Ling still underestimated Darth Vader's determination.

On January 1, a terrifying explosion suddenly broke out inside the planet Yago-Dur! The explosion almost completely covered the three cities that the Galactic Empire had previously occupied in the battle, and not only that, it also spread to even further away!
The explosion immediately triggered a violent earthquake, and many supporting pillars inside the planet were broken by the detonation of the proton bomb!

Then, through optical images, Ling Liang witnessed an extremely terrifying scene with his own eyes——

The planet Yago-Dur actually split open right in front of her! A huge fragment with a diameter of more than 2000 kilometers was split off from the planet, and a big hole was missing from the planet!

The interior of the planet at this moment is a complete disaster!
Not only the 10 Imperial stormtroopers who were unable to retreat in time, most of whom were wounded, but also the more than 30 combat robots that were abandoned and left behind were all reduced to ashes in the explosion.

Moreover, the explosion also affected more cities on the planet Yago-Dur, causing millions of casualties!

At this moment, Ling Liang felt a surge of blood rushing to her forehead, her eyes were bloodshot, and the anger almost made her lose control!

"Darth Vader!! How dare you do this! How dare you do this!!!" Ling Liang roared loudly and punched the console hard, with blood all over his fist.

She wanted to launch an attack immediately, but looking at the Imperial Fleet that was on high alert, she suppressed her anger and ordered her First Task Force to remain on the defensive.

Because of this huge explosion, the communication on the planet Yago-Dur was completely cut off and no one knew what was happening inside the planet. However, judging from the cross section of the planet that was in flames, the situation was definitely not optimistic!
Soon, Bacher-Banack, a great mathematician from the Given people who was building his new home on the planet Losar, sent a message. He witnessed the tragic situation on the planet Yago-Dur and was also so angry that he was speechless.

Then, Bacher-Banack immediately led his team to begin intensive calculations.

At night, Ling Liang finally got the news from General Severance Tann. Tann led the main force of the Second Task Force to leave the planet Fangduo and would attack Darth Vader's logistics supply base on the planet Ghorman in the early morning of the next day.

But at this moment, Darth Vader's main fleet had already begun to retreat. Although Ling Liang pursued them, it had little effect. She could only follow Darth Vader's fleet from a distance, constantly harassing them to ensure that they could never leave comfortably.

Then, Bacher-Banack also gave his calculation results - based on the preliminary estimate based on the current observations, the planet Yago-Dur will rotate faster due to the reduction in mass and change in shape, and the time of a planetary day will be shortened by about one third.

Although the unique appearance of the Givens and their sturdy underground cities prevent them from suffering large-scale deaths due to environmental changes, the planet will become uninhabitable.

The bigger problem is that the planet Yago-Dur will gradually change its current orbit, and the planet may be destroyed in 55 years. (End of this chapter)
