The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1576. The End of the Second Galaxy Army

Earl Dooku has firmly taken advantage, and Mace Windu is completely powerless to fight back.

The seventh form of the berserk swordsmanship, Vapad, can no longer be berserk, as if it were a ferocious beast in a cage, with its ferocious claws and long teeth, but no longer any threat.

Just like the Second Galaxy Army led by him, they have become caged beasts and can only sit and wait to die!

"No! No! This is impossible! You should not be my opponent, Dooku!" Mace Windu roared loudly, and the purple lightsaber slashed down with an extremely powerful momentum.

In fact, when the two of them were still in the Jedi Order in the early days, they sometimes exchanged ideas, but generally they were evenly matched. Both of them were masters of swordsmanship and had reached the pinnacle, so they were basically mutual. There are winners and losers, and the two have gained a lot from such discussions.

It's just that with the passage of time, the differences in ideas between Dooku and Windu have become bigger and bigger. Later, even in the Jedi Order, the two are basically strangers, let alone friendly exchanges.

However, after Master Windu created the Vapad swordsmanship, after various verifications, it is basically recognized that the Vapads swordsmanship has a strong restraint relationship with the second-style Makashi swordsmanship that Dooku is good at.

In addition, Dooku fell directly into the dark side later, but the seventh sword technique Vapad was able to get a lot of bonuses in the battle against the dark side. Because Vapad swordsmanship uses the force in a completely different way, the negative effects of the dark side can be enhanced for Vapad users.

Therefore, Master Windu has always had this confidence that he is definitely better than Earl Dooku, and their confrontation on Planet Thule also proved this point. And as Earl Dooku got older, Master Windu, who was in his middle age, also had an increasing advantage.

But now, he found that he was no match for Earl Dooku at all! Such a gap makes Mace Windu completely unacceptable!

I only saw Earl Dooku's sword flashing out like lightning, and the blood-red cranked lightsaber pierced Windu's sword three times in a row. Windu suddenly found that the operation of his original force was stagnant! Grasping the opening at this moment, Earl Dooku raised his hand to grab it, and a console on the battleship was torn off by the force and hit Master Windu hard!

Boom! Master Windu was knocked away several meters away, but at the moment when he retreated again and again, Earl Dooku came back first, stabbing straight with the lightsaber in his hand!

Mace Windu was already unable to resist, and was directly stabbed on his left mechanical prosthetic eye by this sword! If he hadn't dodged quickly, the thorn would have been solid, and his head would have been lost immediately.

However, even so, the terrifying high temperature generated by being stabbed by the lightsaber directly burned Mace Windu's wound, causing him to scream!

At this moment, the voice of Severance Tann suddenly came from the communication, "A shuttle plane and a fighter jet are flying over at high speed. Our anti-aircraft artillery can't stop them. They should be Jedi Knights."

"Oh? It looks like your companion has arrived. Who is it? Ki-Adi-Mundi? I'm looking forward to fighting him now. Let me wait for him, and you, unfortunately, will never see you again... "Earl Dooku said lightly, raising his lightsaber to prepare for the final blow to Mace Windu.

However, at this moment, beyond everyone's expectations, the ETA-2 fighter jet opened fire directly! Two proton torpedoes flew at high speed and exploded on the bridge of the battleship! The Endurance is basically paralyzed. Without the deflector shield, these two proton torpedoes have exerted their greatest power!

boom! boom! ! ! The devastating explosion immediately blew a big hole out of the bridge, and everything inside was sucked out by the vacuum!

After this crazy move, the Lambda-class shuttle next to it passed by at high speed, and grabbed Mace Windu with a tractor beam, and turned around without any slowdown!

Earl Dooku, who stabilized his figure in the air sucked into the vacuum and used the force to protect himself, was furious. He raised his hand and grabbed the two-man lightsaber next to Savage Oprys. Throw it directly at the fighter that is relatively closer!

The speed of this sword is so fast that even ordinary electromagnetic guns can't reach it under the acceleration of the original force! Pierce a large hole directly in the body of the ETA-2 fighter!

The fighter jet suddenly billowed with thick smoke, and then lost its ability to control and rolled in space. The next second, the anti-aircraft fire fired from the Doom directly blasted the fighter into a ball of fire! !

However, that Lambda-class shuttle has disappeared into the sky.

Don't forget, even if a surprise attack was launched, what Severance Tann led was still only the Doom and dozens of other small warships, and they were still deep in the center of the formation of the second galaxy army fleet, while the first Although the second galaxy army has already lost its phase, their existing battleship strength still has an advantage.

Count Dooku looked at the direction where the spaceship disappeared, his eyes were full of anger!

"You saved your life! Mace Windu!" Earl Dooku gritted his teeth, "Is it a coincidence? Is it luck? Or fate? No... destiny, it should belong to darkness!"

...

The Lambda-class shuttle that rescued Mace Windu did not stop, but flew directly away from the battlefield.

This latest shuttle machine of the Galactic Republic is specially used to pick up and drop off the top important people, without considering the cost at all, so the safety and speed are all top-level configurations.

In this chaotic battlefield, it is already an impossible task to find this shuttle again.

Although Earl Dooku, who returned to the Doom, was furious, he could only accept the reality that Master Windu had escaped from a desperate situation. He also couldn't blame Severance Tann. After all, relying on conventional anti-aircraft firepower, it was almost impossible to shoot down the fighter jet piloted by the top Jedi master.

And the behavior of that Lambda-class shuttle to save Master Windu is crazy!

The first is to directly launch the proton torpedo on the bridge. This can be avoided by Earl Dooku who is in peak condition, but it is fatal to Master Windu who has been seriously injured! If you don't pay attention, he will be blown to pieces together.

Then use the tractor beam to catch Master Windu, which is also crazy! You must know that the tractor beam is generally used by spacecraft to grab cargo in space, which is equivalent to an invisible crane, which is actually very convenient.

But the tractor beam can only grab metal objects! Master Windu was paralyzed after he was seriously injured by Depa-Biraba and the dead angel on the planet Harunkar. He can only accept mechanized transformation, so of course there is metal in his body.

It's just that in this case, being caught by the tractor beam and then flying at a high speed is equivalent to constantly tearing the mechanical prosthesis on him! Such pain is unimaginable! And even if he escaped from the battlefield, whether Mace Windu can still live is a problem.

It can only be said that the person who came to rescue him had already thought of the most difficult plan, and in order to increase the success rate of escape, that person sacrificed everything he could!

Of course, after Mace Windu, the supreme commander of the Second Galaxy Army, fled the battlefield, the leaderless main fleet of the Second Galaxy Army has almost come to an end.

In fact, before the communication is restored, it doesn't matter whether the dragons are leaderless or not, because those warships don't even know that Master Windu has escaped. So they continued to be harvested by the fleet led by Severance Tann.

Under such a desperate battle situation, many warships chose to surrender—the separatists continued to broadcast signals, telling those warships that as long as they shut down their engines and lowered their shields, it would be considered an act of surrender and would not be attacked.

This time the communication interference did not last all the time. As mentioned before, a mere 80 Sentinel-class electronic warfare frigates were not enough to shake the communication system of the entire Second Galaxy Army main fleet. After all, the firewalls of those large warships are not decorations, and their energy levels are too high, so they really cannot cause interference under normal circumstances.

Therefore, after the explosion of the magnetic field generated by the Destroyer detonating the electromagnetic nebula subsided, the communication of the Second Galaxy Army was finally restored.

And at this time, they got the news that their supreme leader, Mace Windu, was missing!

It's not just that Mace Windu is missing! And the news from the survivors of the Endurance shows that he also killed his own fleet commander, Admiral Sopnos, before! The reason why there are survivors on the Endurance is because the surviving officers and soldiers on the battleship chose to surrender immediately after seeing Master Windu being rescued by the shuttle.

That's not to mention, in the ensuing battle, the entire fleet staff and senior officers on the Endurance were directly killed in one pot! The entire command system equivalent to the Second Galaxy Army has been paralyzed.

Of course, compared with the paralysis of the command system, the collapse of the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Second Galaxy Army at all levels is the fatal problem!

More and more warships surrendered, and after the communication was restored, the number of warships that negotiated with everyone to surrender also increased.

Less than three hours after Mace Windu was rescued, the battle that took place near the planet Antway was completely over.

Second galaxy army main fleet, surrender!

The Second Galaxy Army participated in the Battle of the Antway Galaxy with a total of 118 capital ships, including 80 Hunter-class battlecruisers, 5 Invincible-class battlecruisers, 25 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, and 8 Victory I-class destroyers. starship.

There are also 325 small and medium-sized warships, including 90 Arquitects-class light cruisers, 50 Karak-class light cruisers, 50 armed consul-class cruisers, 50 CR-70 frigates, and 80 DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats. 5 Apocalypse-class light cruisers.

During the battle, 27 Hunter-class battlecruisers, 5 Invincible-class battlecruisers, 18 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, and 3 Victory-class I-class star destroyers were destroyed or paralyzed, and more than half of the small and medium-sized battleships were lost.

After Master Windu disappeared, all the remaining warships surrendered!

After removing those battleships that were seriously damaged and were better to be dismantled than repaired, Severance-Tann received a total of 42 Jaeger-class ships, 5 Dreadnought-class ships and 5 Victory-class I-class ships.

Small and medium-sized warships received 59 Arquitens-class light cruisers, 16 Karak-class light cruisers, 40 armed consul-class cruisers, 2 CR-70 frigates, 21 DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, and Apocalypse-class light cruisers. 5 cruisers.

In this, the armed Consul-class cruiser is because the firepower is too weak, so almost no one wants to deal with them. After all, it was originally an unarmed spaceship, and the turrets that were installed later participated in the battle, so so many survived.

The Apocalypse-class light cruisers were kept intentionally by Severance Tann and did not attack them. After all, after these warships surrendered, they could be directly incorporated into the Liming Principality's naval establishment without any modification.

As for the CR-70 frigate, the Karak-class light cruiser and the Invincible-class battlecruiser, these warships that were eliminated in the Galactic Republic Navy were almost wiped out because of insufficient combat capabilities.

Not all of the Second Galaxy Army participated in this battle, and half of their battleships remained on Garros IV and Mandalorian planets. After receiving the news that the main fleet was annihilated, these battleships immediately left this star field and returned to the Galactic Republic.

Commanding the other two fleets were fallen Dark Jedi Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi and Ray Gul. After sensing the danger, they drove their fighter planes away to the Antway galaxy, and finally rescued Master Windu, but they also lost control of their fleet.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Galaxy Army were not very willing to betray the Galactic Republic, and many of them were just coerced. Therefore, after suffering a disastrous defeat, they abandoned Master Windu and the others without hesitation.

Now these officers and soldiers want to make up for their crimes, hoping that their act of bringing the fleet back will allow the Supreme Military Court to forgive their previous treasonous acts.

However, the verdict a month later showed that these people were obviously thinking too much. All of them were convicted of serious crimes by the Supreme Military Court. After executing several of the officers, the rest were all sent to the mining area to mine—of course, this is a story.

When the Doom was cleaning the battlefield, the fighter that was pierced by the lightsaber thrown by Count Dooku and then destroyed by the Doom's anti-aircraft fire was also salvaged.

The mutilated corpse of the driver could no longer be distinguished, and it was even just a few lumps of charred rotten flesh. But Earl Dooku knew the identity of this person through the perception of the Force-Jedi Master, Ray Gul.

Then this basically confirms that it is Ki-Adi-Mundi who is driving the Lambda-class shuttle!

It was precisely because of his powerful strength and control that he was able to make such extreme movements and rescued Master Windu from under the nose of Earl Dooku.

After cleaning the battlefield, Earl Dooku said something to Severance Tann that he wanted to attract, and returned to the Laxus sub-planet with the Titan battleship Shadow, which was standing far away in the Yawen galaxy to watch the show. .
