Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 674: Traces of the Malevolence (2)

Jedi Master Ares Nune looked at the Huge Warship on the Holographic Screen with a gloomy expression, "It looks right, this is the Separatist Warship that has been attacking our Fleet on Hydian Way recently! Prepare to fight!"

Clone Commander Kite standing next to him immediately issued an order, "All Warships in Battle Formation, and the Starfighter Squadron take off immediately!"

Ares Nune looked at the Hangar Platform unfold in front of the Battleship and the densely packed Starfighters, his face was still worried.

About 800 Starfighters took off in the First Wave of 5 Venator-class Star Destroyers, and it is obvious that the flying attitude of those Starfighters is unfamiliar.

After Suffering Heavy Losses on the Three Battlefields of Falleen, Bespin, and Christophsis, it is a tragedy that such a large Galactic Republic could not find enough Starfighter Pilots in a short period of time.

Even if it is the Outdated V-19 Torrent Starfighter, if it is a Clone Trooper who has received the Input of Knowledge about driving a Starfighter in advance, it needs 2 Months of Training. If it is an Ordinary Soldier, then the training period will increase from 4 Months to Half a Year. Now, just 3 Months after the Outbreak of the Civil War, the Republic has lost more than 50,000 Pilots on all fronts!!

Battleship Operators do not need too long to be Trained due to the Subdivision of Functions and the Intelligent Automation of the System. The Number of Personnel in more Complicated Positions such as Navigators, Helmsmen, and Engineers is not large. A Battleship equipped with 10 to 1 people is enough.

But Starfighter Pilots are different. A Qualified Starfighter Pilot must independently control a complex Starfighter, which requires Extremely Fast Response Capabilities and Spatial Recognition Capabilities, as well as Training in Combat Formations and Combat Tactics. Almost everyone is an Elite Talent!

When the Republic abandoned its Military due to the Russan Reform, the Reserve Starfighter Pilots were not many, and now they are basically all lost! Most of the Pilots added now are Recruits or recruited from Civilian Pilots, and the quality is uneven, but this is already impossible.

Looking at the Formation of Starfighters taking off densely, Ares Nune said in a low voice: "This is not possible, I still feel the Threat of Death... Such means are not enough to threaten that Battleship!"

"General! Then what should we do?" Kite, the Clone Commander, turned around and asked.

"What we need to do is to spread the news. I don't think we have the ability to defeat that Super Battleship." Ares Nune said in a deep voice, "Immediately turn on all the Battlefield Recorders and Record any Valid Information. After that, seal it up immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ares Nune also got up and went to the Hangar Platform, came to sit on his Delta-7 Starfighter, started the Sublight Engines and flew straight out.

However, just as his Starfighter took off, an Exclamation came from the Communication, "A Powerful Energy Concentration has been detected! The Enemy Warship may be about to open fire!"

"Scatter our Warships!!" Ares Nune exclaimed. Before he could finish his sentence, an Invisible Electromagnetic Pulse completely enveloped the surrounding area of ??Tens of Thousands of Kilometers, followed by darkness.

His Starfighter immediately lost control, and all Systems were offline! He was just Floating in Space by Inertia.

"Hey! Kite! Laudable! Come in!!" Ares Nune yelled into the Communicator, but there was no sound.

On the other side of the Battlefield, General Grievous, standing on the Bridge of the Malevolence, laughed loudly, "Stupid scum of the Republic, this is your doomsday! Hahahahahaha!! The Battleship advances at full speed! Destroy the Battleships of the Republic! Blast them into pieces! Slowly... Hahahahaha!!"

The Malevolence immediately advanced and Hundreds of Twin Turbolaser Batteries on the Battleship fired continuously! Losing the protection of the Deflector Shield, the Powerful Turbolaser Beams blasted countless flames on the Armor of the Venator-class Star Destroyers.

Under this Continuous Attack, the Venator-class Star Destroyers gradually disintegrated and were blown into pieces bit by bit.

Among those Warships, Tens of Thousands of Officers and Clones could only watch all this happen in a State of Weightlessness and Hypoxia!

"The Weapon of the Enemy Super Battleship has been determined...it is an Electromagnetic Pulse..." Ares Nune said to a Memory Bank with difficulty.

The interior of a Starfighter is no different than that of a Battleship. After the Life Support System is destroyed, the air stored inside the Starfighter will be consumed soon.

Ares Nune looked at the Memory Bank. It was protected by The Force just now, but even so, the Memory Bank was still damaged, and he didn't know of what was recorded before, how much was still preserved!

"This is... the only hope... to pass on the news of the Separatist Super Battleship..." Ares Nune finished speaking, took a deep breath, and then entered a Deep Meditation State.

...

A day later, a Formation of Six Venator-class Star Destroyers arrived in the Phu System.

Standing in the Center of the Bridge of the Flagship of the Formation was a Member of the Jedi High Council of Twelve Members of the Jedi Order, Jedi Master/General Plo Koon, and one of the Top-Ranked Powerhouses in the Jedi Order.

What caught his masked eyes at this moment was a terrifying scene...

Countless Warship Fragments are Floating in Space, and these Fragments are Very Fine, completely different from Destroyed Warships under normal circumstances as if they were finely crushed by someone!

In this Debris Belt stretching Thousands of Kilometers, not even a Complete Corpse can be found!

"Mysterious Super Weapon, once again..." Master Plo Koon said to himself, "Immediately send a Search and Rescue Team to recover the Bodies of the Soldiers as much as possible, and at the same time, look for anything that may have clues!"

"Yes!"

After thinking for a while, Plo Koon himself came to the Hangar Platform, boarded a Sprint-class Rescue Craft, and together with a few Clones drove this Small Aircraft less than 5 Meters Long but with a pair of Mechanical Arms at the front to participate in the Search and Rescue Operation passing a few Rescue Frigates.

Suddenly, as if he felt something, he looked in one of the directions, "Go over there." Plo Koon said, pointing to the front.

The Sprint-class Rescue Craft to approach. Plo Koon sensed that someone was calling in The Force, and he asked the Pilot to make room for him. He Sprint-class Rescue Craft himself, and controlled Two Mechanical Arms to search among the Ocean-Like Debris.

Finally, he found a Mutilated Delta-7 Starfighter.

Seeing this Starfighter, Plo Koon let out a long sigh, opened the Hatch and jumped out by himself. He has a very Powerful Force, and his mask also allows him to survive in a Vacuum Environment.

He jumped onto the Starfighter, and sure enough, he saw Ares Nune's body, sitting peacefully in the Cockpit, restrained by the Seatbelt and not floating out.

The Starfighter was obviously bombarded by a Turbolaser, and more than half of the Starfighter's Fuselage was blown up under the Powerful Force, but the body of Ares Nune was miraculously preserved.

"May The Force be with you, my friend..." Plo Koon whispered.

At this time, he suddenly sensed something, and reached out and took out a Memory Bank from Ares Nune's arms.
