The giant corporations that started in Night City
Chapter 362: Seize the ship! Besiege the enemy and attack the reinforcements! See you on Mandalore!
"Okay, but we have to be careful not to attract their attention."
Obi-Wan must be more familiar with Tatooine than Paul. In addition, he is a reliable master of the Force, so Paul agreed with him to go to the ground with him.
Soon, the thick stone door slowly rose up with the fluctuation of the Force. Paul and Obi-Wan walked out of the Jedi knowledge base that had been closed for a long time and returned to the surface of Tatooine.
At this moment, after the orbital bombardment by the Imperial Star Destroyer, the entire surface environment of Tatooine has undergone tremendous changes.
Dark red dust mixed with crystal-like gravel swept over the devastated land, and the soft desert turned into a hard glass floor.
The oxygen content in the air has also dropped a lot, and the dust thrown into the atmosphere has formed a thick layer of garbage, blocking the light of stars.
This caused the temperature of Tatooine to plummet by more than ten degrees, from a scorching desert star to a cold and dim place.
【warn! The environment you are in is relatively harsh. Please do not stay here for too long and try to avoid skin contact with rain. 】
At this time, a prompt popped up on the holographic screen on Paul's protective mask, informing him that the surrounding environment was seriously polluted.
As dust mixed with violent storms fell from the sky, corrosive acid rain began to fall on this already barren land.
After the magma flowing everywhere cooled, it solidified into dark obsidian, and the fine sand turned into sharp glass fragments scattered everywhere.
The entire Tatooine star is completely ruined. Without decades of transformation, it will always remain a place of death like purgatory.
If they hadn't hid in the Jedi knowledge base in time, Paul and others would have died in this orbital bombing!
After turning on the force field protection, Paul no longer worried about the corrosion of acid rain. He looked at the desolate land around him. The pungent gun smoke mixed with sulfur gas always impacted his sense of smell, which made him frown and said:
"Compared to planet orbit bombing, neutron annihilation is a kind of mercy from the gods. At least it will not cause much pain."
Paul finally realized for himself why the Covenant in the "Halo" universe always like to vitrify other people's planets.
Doing so can indeed demonstrate one's own strength and bring deep despair to the opponent.
"Someone is coming!"
Obi-Wan reminded Paul in a low voice, and the two immediately hid behind the obsidian aside and used the Force to erase the traces they left behind.
An Empire's AT-ST bipedal walker was seen walking slowly, stepping on the magma that had not completely solidified, searching for any remaining life forms on Tatooine.
The dazzling searchlight projected by the AT walker swayed everywhere in the dim wilderness, followed by an imperial storm trooper.
This group of soldiers equipped with heat-insulated power armor and armed with blaster rifles will fire several shots at any suspicious objects around them to ensure that they can kill the target person.
"Sure enough, the empire will not give up. Even if they are dispatched, they will still leave a group of troops to search here."
The movement that Paul and Obi-Wan noticed in the basement was caused by this armored force.
These stormtroopers seemed to be very bored with the work of searching the ground. They just routinely walked around here, doing simple patrols to facilitate communication.
But that's true. After all, after such a round of high-intensity orbital bombing, there have long been no survivors in this focused strike area.
Everything you look at is pitch-black obsidian and viscous semi-cooled magma. Even if you are alive, you won't be able to survive for long.
It's a complete waste of time for them to come here.
Just as Paul was thinking about the next step, he suddenly received an order from his immediate superior, David Martinez.
[Paul, our people have taken control of the Star Destroyer in the orbit of Tatooine. What you have to do now is to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers in front of you, or wait for our people to take action, and we will send troops to help you leave. 】
It turned out that as soon as Cassio Tag received Palpatine's order to leave, David led the fleet to the nearby area, and sent the Astartes team to board the ship and seize control of the battleship.
The next thing Paul has to do is to take the Imperial Star Destroyer back to Tag's fleet array and cooperate with the world's giants to annihilate them all!
Obi-Wan, on the other hand, took the lead and quickly headed to Tatooine to kill Darth Maul, killing this hidden danger that could backstab him at any time before the final battle.
"clear."
Immediately, Paul informed Obi-Wan of David's deployment plan, but after thinking for a moment, Obi-Wan decided to return to the basement to discuss it with everyone.
After returning to the knowledge base, everyone was surprised, nervous, and a little surprised by the arrangement of the giant company. They went to intercept the Destroyer Star Destroyer and directly participate in the final battle!
This scene is exciting to think about.
"Master, are you really going to leave us and go to Mandalorian alone?" Luke asked with some reluctance. He has not yet learned how to use the Force.
Without Obi-Wan's teachings, he didn't know how effective he could be by just cramming in his short time.
"Yes, the people on Mandalore need my help more than here. Don't worry, we will meet in Mandalore soon."
Obi-Wan smiled and patted Luke on the shoulder. He believed that these three days were enough for Luke to initially control the power of the Force. The rest required continuous accumulation of experience through actual combat.
A chosen one like Luke can master anything related to the Force countless times faster than ordinary people.
When Din Djarin learned that Obi-Wan was going to Mandalore to help his people fight against the Empire, he also wanted to step forward and go with him.
But after thinking about it, Paul needed his help more here than on Mandalorian. After all, taking down the Destroyer was also a troublesome task.
"So what exactly do we do now?"
Luke asked blankly, how could it be so easy to intercept the Destroyer? If a fight really broke out, their little manpower would not help.
"Our people will come down soon to take us to the Imperial Star Destroyer. At that time, we will find a way to return to the Destroyer array, and then get into the flagship and capture the Destroyer."
In Paul's vision, the best result is to successfully capture the Destroyer, and then cooperate with the giant company's troops to control all other warships.
Then he drove the Destroyer to Mandalorian, and with other expeditionary forces from the world's largest companies, he fought against the main force of the Imperial Army.
This can reduce the war costs of giant companies as much as possible.
To put it bluntly, even if the Destroyer failed to be captured and a naval battle broke out between the troops led by Tag and David, the strategic mission of encircling the point and providing reinforcements could still be completed.
This can also greatly alleviate the defensive pressure Li De faces on Mandalorian.
"Oh my God! This is so crazy. How dare you come up with such an exaggerated action plan."
Cassian felt that this plan was too risky just to hear it. If Tag suddenly realized something was wrong, they would all die in each other's hands.
"This is something worth doing. Someone has to intercept Tagg anyway. Now the headquarters has given us this task. This is an excellent opportunity."
After saying that, Paul gave Captain Cassian a deep look, as if to tell him that this was his best chance to become a full-time soldier after he had sold his life to the Rebel Alliance for so long.
Now that I am working for a giant company in the world, I am still missing this critical moment.
"The Destroyer is a flagship Star Destroyer of the same level as the Executor. There are less than 50 of them in the Empire. Each Destroyer-class flagship can form an elite army."
"We are not the only ones participating in the operation this time, but also the expeditionary corps of the world's giants. However, we must try to avoid the outbreak of large-scale naval battles unless it is absolutely necessary."
Qini's addition instantly gave Cassian and others confidence.
If they could capture the Destroyer, they would have accomplished a great feat. Not to mention becoming a full-time member of a giant company, they might even be able to get an official position.
What's more, with the giant expeditionary force behind them, they don't have to worry at all.
The most important thing is that Paul was also involved in the operation this time. Since this perverted and strong guy is here, there is really no need for them to worry too much.
"Everyone, this operation will indeed be dangerous, but I will not force anyone to complete this mission."
"If you don't want to go, you can follow Juqi's troops back to the rear base and wait for the final decisive battle to end."
"If anyone wants to come with me and capture the Destroyer, it's a show of hands."
As soon as Paul finished speaking, Qini immediately raised her hand and looked at him firmly. As Paul's most trusted partner, Qini would definitely not miss any opportunity to perform tasks with Paul.
"Speaking of which... I'm just a little etiquette robot. I shouldn't have to do such exciting things, right?"
C-3PO poked his head out, raised his hand in fear and asked, but he was electrocuted by R2-D2 in the next second, so he immediately changed his words: "But I like stimulation."
The Mandalorian Din Djarin did not speak, but silently wiped the gun body, showing with actions that he would participate, "In other words, this is another reward."
"Just owe it now, and I'll ask you for the balance after the war is over."
Although the members of the Rogue One team had different thoughts, they still firmly chose to fight to the end. At this stage, they had to fight for it no matter what.
"very good!"
Paul was quite satisfied with everyone's performance. No matter what they were fighting for, at least at this moment everyone was a fighting partner working together.
"Then set out to avenge Tatooine, Mandalore, and everyone who died because of the Empire!"
After completing the pre-war mobilization, Paul and others returned to the ground again. Cassian and Jyn Erso were obviously stunned when they saw the scene outside.
He was obviously frightened by the hellish scene in front of him.
The pungent and foul-smelling sulfuric smoke, the fiery lava, and the suffocating turbid air made their lungs feel extremely stinging.
If there is no breathing filter, they will be poisoned before long.
"I can't believe we are still alive. If Uncle Owen were here, he would be scared to death."
Luke said with lingering fear.
"Maybe this is the luck of the chosen one!" Cassian teased Luke with a smile.
Paul nodded thoughtfully.
It must be said that they were indeed lucky. If Luke had come back later or they had not been able to meet Obi-Wan earlier, they might have really died in the orbital bombardment of the Imperial Army.
"I still think this is a wrong decision, R2, why don't we go back and hide, anyway, the two of us can't help much."
C-3PO said to his old friend R2 robot while complaining in a low voice.
But the only response was a burst of electricity from R2.
R2-D2 followed Jyn Erso closely throughout the whole process, and although the C-3PO robot kept complaining, its body still followed honestly.
Soon, everyone saw dozens of tall and mighty Astartes warriors, holding hard light weapons, standing in a steel ruin.
The Imperial Stormtroopers that Paul and Obi-Wan had seen before have now been assassinated by this group of Astartes warriors.
In addition, the Star Destroyer in the low-Earth orbit of Tatooine was also taken over by the warships of the Universal Corporation, and the technicians continued to create the illusion that the signal was normal.
"Paul, it's great to see you here again!"
At this time, one of the Astartes warriors came up, until Penny Wells showed his face through the helmet of the power armor.
Luke and others realized that this group of murderous iron cans, each more than three meters tall, were actually "humans".
Not long ago, Penny led a group of Astartes warriors to the ground, relying on the invasion of AI viruses to destroy walkers and the keen skills of this elite marauding team.
Almost without making a sound, all the imperial stormtroopers were annihilated here. The whole process was smooth and there was no drag.
"Is the situation at the headquarters going well?"
Paul did not greet Penny for too long. The issue he was most concerned about now was the construction of the Starkiller Base.
After all, all the operations he had done before were for Starkiller Base, to buy precious strategic time for the giant company.
Personal efforts are always limited. If you want to win this integration war in one go, you have to rely on the power of the giant company.
"Don't worry, the first batch of finished products has been put into the test stage, and I believe it will be useful soon."
Pani naturally knew what Paul was thinking about, so he responded with a chuckle.
"That's good."
Paul finally felt relieved. As long as the Starkiller Base was pulled here, the integration of the "Star Wars" universe would soon come to an end.
The rest of the things would not be his turn to worry about.
"You should leave as soon as possible. We have forged the communication signal and sent a request to return to the Destroyer flagship."
"You must report to Tag as soon as possible and seize the control of the Destroyer. Commander David's troops are behind you. If something unexpected happens, they can support you at any time!"
Pani relayed David's order again. The most critical point is to capture the Destroyer flagship where Tag is.
As for the other Imperial Star Destroyers, they are just dispensable fish in front of this battleship and can't make much waves at all.
"Okay, see you on Mandalorian!"
Before they were about to separate, Pani also stuffed a batch of hunting darts to Paul and Chini. Paul was very familiar with this assassination weapon from the native Dune universe.
"You will definitely use this thing, so let's do it!"
After the two said goodbye to each other, Pani took Master Obi-Wan on a shuttle and prepared to take the fastest battleship to Mandalorian to do business.
Paul took Luke and others with him to the Imperial Star Destroyer to pursue Cassio Tag's Destroyer Fleet.
...
Not long after, the Star Destroyer Paul was on was incorporated into the Destroyer flagship's array. Facing the dangerous environment surrounded by enemies, Luke, a rookie, was scared and sweating.
He could clearly see the Imperial Star Destroyers surrounding the battleship through the porthole of the battleship.
When he saw the stormtroopers walking back and forth on the opposite side, Luke's breathing would subconsciously stagnate, for fear of alarming the stormtroopers in another battleship.
Not long after successfully returning to the team, the crew from the Destroyer headquarters issued an order:
[Star Destroyer ICSD-9527, please bring the remains of the criminals found to the command center as soon as possible to report, repeat again...! 】
Bodhi, the previously defected pilot of the Empire, responded to the headquarters very skillfully according to the procedure: "Yes, we will arrange for the team members to come back and report."
Obviously, the attitude of the Imperial Army is still quite strict in the aspect of seeing the person alive and the body dead.
Even if the target person is killed by the bomb, they have to dig three feet into the ground and dig the person out to confirm the state of death before they will stop.
"That bastard named Cassio Tag is really cautious, but it's good that this gives us the opportunity to enter the Destroyer flagship!"
Captain Cassian was eager to try, which just saved them from trying to sneak in. After all, the headquarters of the Destroyer flagship is not something that can be entered just by wanting to enter.
Although they will inevitably be suspected and questioned by the Imperial Army on the way there, as long as they can successfully land on the flagship, they will complete the first step of the goal.
Immediately, everyone dressed up as the Imperial Storm Troopers and took the airship to the Destroyer flagship. Bodhi, who was responsible for driving the spaceship and acting as the captain, was very worried:
"There will definitely be a lot of stormtroopers coming to question us in a while. I'll delay it for a while at most, and I'm afraid the rest will have to be forced in!"
Bodhi had served in the Imperial Navy for a period of time, and he was very familiar with all aspects of the Imperial Army's rules and regulations. With their flawless disguises, they were stopped before they even entered the gate of the headquarters.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we can find a way to log in, everything will be easy to solve."
This time, Paul was particularly confident. With the expeditionary force led by David behind him and his right-hand man, the Master Chief, joining forces with him, he could still complete the mission even without Obi-Wan.
Soon, Paul and others successfully landed in the Destroyer's cabin.
Just as Bodhi expected, just as they were about to sail into the hangar, a group of heavily armed Imperial Stormtroopers had gathered below.
They were on alert throughout the whole process, as if they were on guard against the recurrence of someone pretending to be a Stormtrooper to sneak in during the Battle of Scarif.
However, this time, Paul never thought about sneaking in by lurking. He had only one purpose here, and that was to forcefully rush to the bridge command room of the flagship!
However, to be on the safe side, Paul asked Chiru in advance: "Are there any powerful Force warriors on the battleship?"
The last fierce battle with Darth Vader almost left Paul with a psychological shadow.
If there is a powerful dark side force warrior here, then Paul can only consider withdrawing.
"No, there's not even a single Force-sensitive person here." Chirrut responded with certainty. In this star field, Paul is probably considered half a Force warrior.
In fact, although Cassio Tagg himself is an excellent fleet commander, his attitude towards the Force is quite disgusting.
He even publicly mocked Darth Vader in front of him that his Force power was a "wizard's trick", and was almost strangled to death by Vader's Force choke.
If Tarkin hadn't called out to stop in time, Targ would have died at the hands of Vader. From that day on, Targ hated the so-called Force users even more.
Under such a psychological change, Tagg would naturally not allow any Force users to appear in his fleet, including those with Force sensitivity.
After confirming that no powerful force warriors would appear to disrupt the situation this time, Paul became more confident about his next actions.
"Guys, get ready for a big fight!"
When Paul finished speaking, he saw several hunting darts suddenly burst out from the cabin of the airship at lightning speed.
These micro-assassination weapons transplanted with intelligent AI can automatically find nearby enemies for hunting.
The ghostly hunting darts drew several elegant and deadly arcs in mid-air, and then quickly penetrated the neck arteries of several Imperial Stormtroopers below.
Before the Imperial Stormtroopers on the side could react, the hunting dart turned like a roller coaster and pierced another batch of Stormtroopers.
Each hunting dart is filled with 5 grams of deadly toxin. When it pierces the target, only 1 milligram is released to instantly paralyze the human body.
Coupled with the extremely fast reaction speed of the hunting dart, the killing effect was such that a group of stormtroopers were completely unaware of what was happening and only saw the people around them falling one after another.
There were no cries of pain and no signs of shooting. A large number of soldiers died silently!
When the hunting dart completed a circle and returned to the palms of Paul and Qini, all the Imperial Stormtroopers originally surrounding the airship were dead.
The whole process lasted less than three seconds, and these stormtroopers didn't even have time to report the situation here!
At this time, the airship's cabin door slowly opened, and Paul walked out leisurely, as if he had anticipated the scene before him.
This shocked Luke and Cassian.
Who would have thought that the deadly weapons controlled by giant corporations in the world could be so abundant? Why didn't Paul use such a useful thing earlier?
