The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1192. The Price of Freedom (Part 2)

Anakin jumped off the mecha, and began to call for the surrounding rebel fighters to start rescue work and evacuate as soon as possible. He called for those suspension trucks that could still be used to drive into the fire scene as soon as possible, transfer the wounded who could be rescued as soon as possible, and then leave this hell.

Thor's mecha has not moved, and the rebels thought that this terrible mecha had been killed by Anakin Skywalker. After all, the melted hole in the cockpit was still there, and the mecha had indeed stopped. Work.

But these rebel fighters didn't have the slightest idea of ​​cheering...

The frenzy and courage of the battle just now have dissipated, replaced by fear and sadness. They couldn't even tell how they rushed up just now, facing such a terrifying giant war weapon.

The battlefield became much quieter in an instant, only the screams were still echoing.

The Thor Mecha stood there quietly, looming among the rising yellow smoke, like a mountain.

Luke Bontry sat there on his knees in a daze, and in front of him was the wounded man - already dying in pain. Lukes stared blankly at the unrecognizable rebel fighters walking out of the thick smoke in twos and twos, bewildered...

Finally he saw Stella Gerrera coming out, he opened his mouth, stood up and whispered, "Yes...I'm sorry...I, I couldn't save..."

He swallowed without finishing his words, because he saw Saw Gerrera who was supported by Stella, who was also burnt beyond recognition and lost a leg.

Stella Gerrera ignored him, didn't even look at him, and walked away.

Lukes stood there at a loss, looking around at a loss, and then he saw a soldier who was familiar with him, and hurried over, "Pinal, I..."

"Get lost..." the rebel soldier named Pinar said weakly, and then pushed Lukes away.

Tears were already rolling down the corners of Lux's eyes, and only then did he realize that every rebel soldier who walked by was glaring at him, as if... really blamed him for all of this.

Yes, he made the rebels think that THOR is just an air-to-air platform, and it was he who told the rebels about THOR's course of action to lure them to attack THOR.

The instigator of this hellish killing was him, his mother Mina Bontry!

Almost all the rebel fighters think so, so this accusation is groundless, but at this time, they just need an object to vent.

Finally, Luke Bontry saw the savior - he saw Anakin Skywalker.

He hurried over, grabbed Anakin's skirt, and said eagerly, "General Skywalker, they...they caught my mother...can you..."

However, Anakin-Skywalker grabbed his hand and slowly pulled it away, "I'm sorry Lukes, I can't take the risk of rescuing a separatist congressman with an unknown position, especially since she may be the initiator of this conspiracy ..."

"No...my mother..." Lukes wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Anakin.

"Maybe this time it was a mistake, a serious mistake. Go home, Lukes," Anakin Skywalker said, turning and walking away.

He is still very busy, and there are still many wounded who need help.

...

When the reinforcements from Planet Onderon arrived, they only saw corpses and wreckage all over the ground, but the Thor Mecha didn't know where it went.

After asking several times through the communication, Dr. Zhang Jiarui finally got through the communication and sent his location.

After Zhang Jiarui regained his strength, he drove the Thor Mech at the maximum speed and walked on the wild road. By the time General Kalani took him to the transport plane, he had already driven the Thor Mech for more than 30 kilometers. .

General Kalani immediately congratulated Dr. Zhang Jiarui, but Zhang Jiarui just said, "The weapon test was successful." After that, he stopped talking

After returning to the Temple of Unification, he locked himself in the mansion, and was given a lot of academic books and fitness equipment, and then he refused to go out again.

...

On the rebel side, after this tragic massacre, they could only lie dormant and lick their wounds in the hidden base.

The loss of this operation was too huge, hundreds of well-trained soldiers died tragically on the spot, and many other soldiers were seriously injured, and it was the kind of permanent fatal injury.

Even after returning to the base, at least one-third of the wounded soldiers died painfully.

These wounded soldiers did not dare to return to their own lives, because General Kalani finally showed his ferocious fangs!

He issued many orders one after another, first sealing off all surrounding cities of Aziz City, and then conducting house-to-house searches under the pretext of the census.

As long as you find the person who was burned by white phosphorus, take him away immediately!

Not only that, because the members of the rebel army suffered a lot of losses at one time, so he also ordered the arrest of all families with missing middle-aged men!

Thousands of people were arrested at one time, and after interrogation, it was confirmed that more than half of them had contacts with the rebels, and they were indeed rebels alive.

The entire Onderon planet suddenly became turbulent, and General Kalani also reversed his sluggishness when he first arrived in office, and directly brought his vigorous and resolute style to the extreme. Don't forget that although he has developed intelligence, he is still a robot at heart, a ruthless robot!

During this time, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Stella Gerera became the busiest people in the rebel army. The captured members and their families also tried their best to treat the wounded.

Anakin-Skywalker also reported the status of Onderon to Coruscant. After careful consideration, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic asked Anakin to assess the possibility of the Galactic Republic directly sending troops to occupy Onderon.

Anakin's answer was that the flames of resistance on the planet Onderon have not been completely extinguished, and there is still a possibility of resurgence, and if they directly send troops to occupy it, it is impossible to ensure that they can get the largest satellite on the planet Onderon, Duxon. Behemoth-class battlecruiser production line.

The Supreme Strategic Command also gave a further reply-the Republic needs to further evaluate this, and within a period of up to one month after that, another batch of materials will be smuggled for reinforcements. After one month, a decision on how to deal with Planet Onderon will be decided according to the specific situation.
