Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 672: Victory and Judgment

Chapter 672: Victory and Judgment

22BBY, the night of August 14th, Galactic Standard Time, in a luxurious auditorium on Raxus Secundus.

The news of the victory has already come from the Frontlines, and the news of the three Battlefields of Christophsis, Bespin, and Falleen has excited those Corporate Giants who were once confused about the prospect of the War.

After all, the power of the Galactic Republic for Tens of Thousands of Years has made it difficult for any one of them to really want to resist it. Even in the previous millennium, because of the results of the Russan Reform, the Republic had almost broken its fangs and claws, but its huge size still made people shudder.

Before that, although the Confederacy of Independent Systems was victorious on many Battlefields, it still lacked decisive results. Now, more than 150 Venator-class Star Destroyers have been annihilated on the Three Battlefields and It can be said that the Mobile Fleet available to the Galactic Republic is basically gone.

It can be said that after these few Battles, they really saw the possibility of defeating the Galactic Republic!

Tang Xiao walked into the auditorium under the leadership of several others. Along the way, he could feel countless eyes falling on him, accompanied by whispers.

Words like "Dawn... Bespin... The Republic Fleet... All destroyed..." and so on came from those people.

In the Two Battles on Planet Bespin, more than 100 Venator-class Star Destroyers of the Republic were destroyed, and the 19th Army was completely empty. Such a record also made Tang Xiao famous.

San Hill, Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, [Note 1:] also came to the venue early. He nodded slightly to Tang Xiao and did not communicate too much, but this time their plan on Christophsis can be said to have been a great success. Thousands of Voices are enough, there is no need to expose their private relationship on such an occasion.

Count Dooku was standing on the High Platform of the auditorium at the moment, holding a glass of expensive wine in his hand, but looked at the situation below with a serious expression, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, and countless stars fell from the sky. It seemed that at this moment, everyone had entered the Universe from the gorgeous auditorium...

"...Although tomorrow is still far away, I will never hesitate..."

"I will definitely be able to overcome all obstacles..."

"Watching all the time, the brilliance in the storm...

"Use those injured hands to create a better future..."

"With infinite radiance,"

"Don't give up on your dreams that shine in the storm!"

Anna Isabella descended from the sky, and her crisp and melodious singing voice paired with this impassioned music seemed magically inspiring. Even though the participants were all High-Ranking Officials and Dignitaries of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, these people were still like ordinary fans, looking up at the starry sky and at this Goddess-Like Singer.

At the end of the singing, Anna Isabella disappeared into a ray of light, and then it was Count Dooku who appeared in the starry sky.

He raised the wine glass in his hand high, and said in a majestic and deep voice: "Let's raise a glass to Victory! Let's raise a glass to the end of the Republic! Raise a glass to our War Heroes!"

Then, several rays of light shone down on Tang Xiao and the Governor of the Corporate Alliance, Passel Argente. Count Dooku continued: "Governor Tang Xiao annihilated the 19th Army of the Republic on Bespin, the Corporate Alliance, successfully occupied Christophsis, and General Grievous, who is not present today, under his command, we also wiped out the entire Fleet of the Republic in one fell swoop on Falleen!"

Those people in the audience toasted and cheered, and those who looked at Tang Xiao were even more awed.

Passel Argente, under such light, his ashen complexion unique to the Koorivar Race became even darker. At this moment, his mood couldn't be better at all, and he was embarrassed by the flattery of those around him Incomparably coping.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Governor." The person who came was Dryden Vos, the leader of Crimson Dawn. Tang Xiao was also one of the people he had known for a long time, but apart from some cooperation, they themselves did not change much.

"I didn't expect that since the Battle of the Malastare, the strength of the Dawn has become so strong." Dryden Vos said.

"After all, it's the cultivation of the Teacher." Tang Xiao turned around and said the word meaningfully.

Teacher, Hego Damask II.

Indeed, speaking of it, Dryden Vos and Madam Bixi, the Leader of the White Worms, were also one of the forces fostered by Darth Plagueis, and up to now, just like Tang Xiao and San Hill, like each other, it became a secret bond between them.

Right now, Tang Xiao happened to have some things that he wanted to find him for, but before that, he still made a superficial probe.

Dryden Vos leaned close to Tang Xiao's ear, and the smell of alcohol in his mouth almost sprayed on Tang Xiao's face, and said softly: "That's right, we are able to get to where we are today, thanks to our Teacher's Cultivation. And I also understand...that other face of yours..."

"Help me with something." Tang Xiao said without comment, "I can give you what you want."

"If you don't even want to know why I'm looking for you, then please do so, Confederacy War Hero... Your Excellency Governor." Dryden Vos grinned, the scar on his face followed and his smile became distorted, which made his smile look a bit hideous.

"It has something to do with the Hutts, please?" Tang Xiao squinted at him.

"Sounds very interesting." Dryden Vos' expression became grim.

"There are still many things we can do. Let's go find her." Tang Xiao pointed to an extremely Graceful and Gorgeous Woman in a Black Evening Dress on the other side, Gross Shelby, Director of the Fourth Group.

...

While Raxus Secundus and even the entire Confederacy of Independent Systems were singing and dancing, immersed in joy, the Pain of the War was gradually being torn apart from the huge body of the Galactic Republic...

In just one month, in Three Large-Scale Battles, the Galactic Republic destroyed most of the Mobile Fleet it could use. Even with the Manufacturing Capabilities of Super Industrial Giants such as Kuat Drive Yards, it will take a long time to replenish these Warships.

The Governor of the 19th Army, Sulamar, returned to Coruscant. In fact, he also understood that the 19th Army was over!

After reporting to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and the Supreme Strategic Command successively, Sulamar offered to resign on his own initiative, resigned as the Governor of the 19th Army, and accepted the trial of the Supreme Military Court.

At the same time, Fleet B of the Fourth Civilization under the command of Lin Nanyi approached Gerrenthum in Greater Javin following the Corellian Trade Spine, while Fleet A led by Matt Horner had reappeared on the Main Defense Line of the 19th Army, Kinyen in the Bes Ber Bikade Sector along the Great Gran Run connected to the Corellian Trade Spine.

Without the cover of a Mobile Fleet, the remaining 10 or so Venator-class Star Destroyers are no longer able to provide cover for the Four Golan I Space Defense Platforms on Kinyen's Defense Line.

The 19th Army of the Galactic Republic is already facing a crisis of life and death, but the Republic has no more Fleets to send as reinforcements.

"To sum up, the reason why I took the initiative to attack Bespin is entirely because of the wrong information from Christophsis." Sulamar, who was standing on the bench of the Supreme Military Court, seemed to be much older. He looked like an old man in his sixties.

He raised his head and looked at the other side of the trial seat with resentful eyes.

Admiral Wullf Yularen, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

"The Commander of the Frontline of Christophsis must be responsible for this!" Sulamar said loudly.
