Chapter 377 Empire’s Capital Planet 2, Coruscant

"So? We are on a mission to take back the Earth?"

General Grievous is sitting on the Conqueror-class heavy cruiser named "Enterprise Heart". On the screen in front of him is the blue-skinned Grand Admiral Thrawn.

"Yes, you need to break through the circumsolar system defense line built by the enemy in the Earth's solar system. Our blockers will establish fire support in the rear. You..."

"Take down Mars! Take down Mars! How can such a sacred place be defiled by aliens!"

The Great Sage of the Mechanicus suddenly intervened in the conversation, and then looked at Grievous with resentment on his face.

"I understand, Great Sage Sokka"

After Grievous finished speaking, he kicked him out and continued the military meeting with Grand Admiral Thrawn.

"Then what should the Earth here be called? There are already enough planets calling themselves Earth within the empire's territory."

Grievous waved his four hands helplessly, and was speechless for a while under his mechanically modified mask.

"This is located on the other side of the empire's territory. It can manage some remote systems and serve as the empire's second capital or administrative capital."

After Marshal Thrawn lowered his head and thought for a while, he then spoke to General Grievous.

"Have you decided what to call it? Don't call it something boring like Terra 2."

"I've thought about it, I'll call it Coruscant from now on."

“This name is really unlucky”

After Grievous had a few more simple exchanges with Thrawn, General Grievous went to prepare for battle.

A huge fleet composed of hundreds of main battleships, dozens of large battleships, nearly tens of thousands of destroyers, frigates, light cruisers and other battleship units, plus various logistics supply ships and transport ships as dense as stars .

With General Grievous' Enterprise Heart as the center, this huge fleet is slowly moving into the solar system.

"Activate the detector and ensure the safety of the surrounding area"

The detectors mounted on each battleship were activated, and with the sound of bursts of sound waves, the situation within hundreds of astronomical units around them had been identified, and no abnormalities were found in the surroundings for the time being.

"The enemy has not stationed troops outside the solar system, or the enemy does not have the courage or confidence to stop us outside the solar system and be prepared to annihilate the stars."

Grievous did not explain too much, he continued to issue orders.

In the dark galaxy, many battleships of the Human Empire are like ghosts under the night, sailing quietly among the stars.

Countless battleships move forward in neat ranks, and their presence adds a touch of mystery to the galaxy.

..............................

"It's the Human Empire warship! Activate the planet shield! Get ready for battle!"

Countless merchant alliance soldiers activated the planet's defense shield, and then opened the anti-aircraft turrets and underground shelters on the planet in an orderly manner.

"Everyone enter the shelter in an orderly manner, don't be anxious!"

The merchant alliance soldiers were at the scene to maintain order. At this time, the warships of the Human Empire were approaching the planet.

The human empire's warships are as dense as stars in the starry sky, and their steel bodies shine coldly under the starlight.

The neat formation of these battleships gave these merchant alliance soldiers an endless sense of oppression. They held the weapons in their hands and swallowed nervously.

The sheer number of warships in the Human Empire made these Merchant Alliance soldiers sigh in horror at the brilliance of human technology.

Countless human battleships formed a spectacular scene in the starry sky, like a performance by an interstellar symphony orchestra, playing a mournful song unique to aliens.

"Spot the enemy and prepare to fight!"

The reconnaissance force discovered the merchant alliance force on this planet. After making simple calculations, they felt that although there might be some losses in seizing this planet, the benefits it would bring after seizing this planet were immeasurable.

"Destroy the enemy's air defense facilities and dispatch two combat robot legions for the first step of landing operations"

Grievous began to issue orders, and at the same time more merchant warships were heading towards the planet.

"We'll be there in nine hours! We must hold on!"

The officer of the Commercial Alliance Solar System Defense Fleet said to the trade director on this planet.

"We try our best, but there are too many enemies, more than the stars in the galaxy!"

The trade director shouted to the other party.

"The enemy is coming!"

A wounded merchant federation soldier ran in, and tens of thousands of fighter planes in the sky attacked the merchant federation position on the ground like a black tide.

"Establish a position based on anti-aircraft turrets! Be sure to block them!"

The merchant soldiers controlled intensive artillery fire to attack the landing troops. The artillery fire reflected their fear on their faces. They had never seen such a terrifying enemy.

"Send landing ship"

Grievous issued the next order. The sky was already occupied by the Empire. One after another, proton torpedoes were dropped on the enemy's position and then detonated. One after another, mushroom clouds rose from the ground. .

"Move! Move! Move!"

The combat robot tactical commander brought a large number of B1 combat robots and B2 combat robots out of the landing bay, and they attacked the enemy like waves.

"robot?"

Looking at the landing troops of the Human Empire in the distance, the merchant soldiers in green armor looked at each other vaguely, and then with countless bright red blaster beams attacking, the brutal ground battle officially began.

At first, these merchant soldiers planned to rely on their own tactics to harass the enemy and use high mobility to divide the enemy's battle formation, but they soon discovered that they were too naive.

The number of enemies has exceeded all their imaginations, and tens of millions of combat robots have withstood their artillery fire and surrounded them.

There were enemies everywhere, and any tactics at this time had lost their effectiveness. They could only rely on trenches to resist the enemy.

"We plan to behead the enemy's officers, and you are responsible for holding back the enemy's firepower from the front."

The special forces officer equipped with a camouflage cloak said and led the team to sneak into the enemy's position.

The camouflage cloak they are equipped with can change the color of their armor like a chameleon, imitating the color and texture of the surrounding environment to better perform tasks.

....................................

In addition to General Grievous's troops, the expedition fleet led by the Black Templars also ran into another fleet from the Merchant Alliance.

"What kind of equipment does the enemy have? It looks so backward? Are they still installing ram horns on their battleships? This is a blasphemy against technology! Call for ultra-long-range strike weapons! Annihilate the enemy!"
