Chapter 353 The Executor Battleship! The villain Darth Vader!

Chapter 353 The Executor Battleship! The villain Darth Vader!

David thought for a moment, and only agreed after he asked the headquarters of the Wanjie Base and got Leon's nod of permission.

Whether it is the design of the Death Star or the data about the Starkiller Base, it is top-secret information for the Universal Corporation.

Such important information should not be shared with other forces.

But the reason why Leon agreed to share this information is mainly because the Rebel Alliance's limited manpower and industrial system cannot build a Death Star or a Starkiller Base.

This is not something they should consider at all.

The only purpose of the Rebels getting the design of the Death Star is to study how to use proton torpedoes to blow up a Death Star.

So even if the information is given to them, it doesn't matter. Doing so can also release the friendly attitude of the giant company, so as to facilitate the subsequent wooing.

"Do as Paul said."

"Received!"

The crew member responsible for processing the data immediately sent the Death Star design to the Rebel Alliance's Radus, and informed the Rebel crew to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible.

On this side, after receiving the Death Star data sent by the Universal Corporation, the messenger on the Radus was ecstatic to report to the captain Admiral Radus:

"General, we got the Death Star design, but we have to leave Scarif quickly..."

Before the messenger finished speaking, the huge Death Star had been steadily docked outside the orbit of Scarif.

The surface of the light gray metal sphere flashed with a chilling luster. It was a huge combat space station.

In this cramped space battlefield full of carrier-based aircraft wreckage and various warships, the Death Star and the Mantle were like steel monsters facing each other.

These two warships, each with a size of hundreds of kilometers, represent the first confrontation between two powerful civilizations. However, no one can disobey the order issued by Leon, and the Universal Corporation must temporarily avoid the sharp edge!

Looking at the Death Star with a diameter of 160 kilometers in front of him, Admiral Radus swallowed his saliva reluctantly. Looking at the entire galaxy, only the Galactic Empire can afford the construction of the Death Star.

"Palpatine, this son of a bitch... How can he build a Death Star!"

In addition to the super laser main gun that can destroy the planet, the Death Star also has thousands of turret arrays on its surface, tens of thousands of turbo laser gun groups and thousands of tractor beams.

This makes the Death Star not only easy to destroy the entire planet, but also has a destructive power to crush even large warships!

The arrival of the Death Star is definitely not good news for the Rebel Alliance. With their strength to fight against the Death Star, they are basically doomed.

Even if the rebels have already obtained the design of the Death Star, they must go back and study and analyze it carefully, and re-formulate the attack strategy, so that they can destroy it according to the weaknesses of the Death Star.

If they rush up now, they will be courting death!

Even if they are lucky enough to escape the first super laser cannon, they can't escape the volleys of other turret arrays, and the best strategy is to escape.

At this moment, the ground forces and Transformers teams of the Universal Corporation have gradually returned to their respective aircraft carriers, preparing to evacuate this space battlefield urgently according to Leon's order.

During this period, it was unexpected that the Empire's Death Star did not chase the Rebel Alliance or the Universal Corporation's fleet after arriving at the battlefield.

Under the instructions of the Imperial Senior Star District Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, the Death Star quickly docked above the orbit of Scarif.

Obviously, Tarkin's goal is to completely destroy Scarif to avoid leaking more of the Empire's top-secret intelligence and Death Star information!

At this moment, Tarkin, standing in front of the Death Star's central console, formally gave orders to the crew below: "Aim at the Scarif base, confirm the charging status, and prepare to fire."

Although there are still many Imperial stormtroopers and officers on the ground of Scarif, Tarkin doesn't care about the lives of those consumables below.

For the sake of the overall situation, they can only die under the bombardment of the Death Star.

"Sir, what about the enemy fleet? Just let them go?"

At this time, the Imperial Judge Darth Rigg asked.

After witnessing the complete loss of the Scarif Tower Fortress Base, Darth Rigg took the spacecraft at the first time and fled this place of right and wrong.

He met the Death Star that came to support the battlefield halfway, so he appeared here.

Faced with Darth Rigg's question, Tarkin waved his hand pretending to be indifferent and said, "Don't worry, Lord Vader will take care of them."

The "Lord Vader" Tarkin mentioned was Darth Vader!

His original name was Anakin Chosen. He was once a gifted Jedi Knight and was regarded as the Chosen Son of the Balance Force by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Such a perfect evaluation, coupled with Anakin's strong business ability, made him once expected to become the leader of the Jedi Order.

However, the old guys in the Absolute Council were very afraid of Anakin's outstanding performance, which led to Anakin's gradual disappointment with the Jedi Knights.

The most important thing is that the current Jedi Order is greatly restricted by dogma, resulting in many Force moves that cannot be used.

This also made Anakin very unhappy.

In fact, these dogma restrictions mainly come from the members of the Old Republic.

In order to prevent the later Jedi Knights from following suit, copying their predecessors, and playing tricks like Force hybridization.

They set up countless cumbersome dogmas to restrict the development of the Jedi Knights' Force.

For a Force genius like Anakin, staying in the Jedi Order is pure torture!

The doubts of the old guys in the Jedi Council limited Anakin's future and he couldn't get promoted and make money by his military exploits.

The old-fashioned and conservative dogmas of the Jedi Order also prevented Anakin from further developing the Force and improving his business capabilities.

The anxiety caused by the hopelessness of his career and the inability to improve his strength caused Anakin to have frequent nightmares. He always dreamed that his wife died of dystocia.

This was essentially because Anakin thought he was not strong enough and could not protect the people around him, which led to severe anxiety.

Just at this time, Palpatine, who wanted to replace the Republic, threw an olive branch to Anakin.

Palpatine only made two promises to Anakin, and let him change his name to Darth Vader willingly, and work hard for the Galactic Empire.

The first promise is very simple, that is, to give top official treatment and guarantee unlimited future!

Arrange the position of the Lord of the Sith Empire right from the start, sit on an equal footing with Palpatine, and be the top leader of the Sith.

Isn't this better than the committee member of the Jedi Order? !

The second promise is that the Force development can be done at will.

No matter what kind of Force hybridization or the use of taboo-level Force moves, whatever is comfortable, Anakin can just rub his son directly with the Force.

In short, Palpatine has only one attitude towards Anakin, as long as he works with me, there will be future, honor, and Force level improvement.

Facing a boss with such a sincere recruitment attitude, Palpatine is not a tempting demon, this is clearly Anakin's benefactor!

In this way, Anakin changed his name to Darth Vader and officially jumped to the Galactic Empire.

It must be said that in cleaning up the Jedi Order, it is necessary to do it by one's own family to achieve precise strikes and the effect of eradicating the roots.

When Darth Vader cleaned up the old guys in the Jedi Council, he was accurate in every strike. None of the senators who had offended him could escape, and they were all killed on the spot.

In order to strike the Jedi Knights, Vader even took down the Holy City of Jedha. In the Empire camp, Vader is now definitely the top combatant on the dark side of the Force.

"So that's it..."

Darth Rigg stopped talking. Since Lord Vader took action personally, it was naturally not their turn to worry about the result.

No matter how powerful that mysterious outsider master was, he would never be Lord Vader's opponent.

At this moment, Tarkin, with his hands behind his back facing Scarif, showed an imperceptible sneer in his indifferent expression.

In fact, the reason why he prioritized attacking Scarif instead of hunting down the fleets of the Rebel Alliance or the Giant Enterprise was mainly to kill his rival, Orson Krennic.

Orson was the design director of the Death Star. Thanks to the great contribution of the Death Star in maintaining the rule of the Empire, this old guy is likely to be promoted and replace Tarkin.

In order to ensure that his position under his buttocks can continue to sit safely, Tarkin decided to personally send his good brother off after learning that Orson's life and death were uncertain.

He had to make sure that Orson and Scarif were destroyed together!

As Tarkin's order was issued, the super laser cannon of the Death Star began to start, and the terrifying beam of light that destroyed the world was shot out.

I saw a strange green beam passing through the atmosphere of Scarif and falling directly onto the sea surface of the planet.

Standing outside the orbit of the planet, Tarkin could clearly see a small white dot appear on the sea surface after being hit by the laser.

As time went by, the white dot began to spread rapidly into a white circle, and continued to expand into a vortex.

A huge wave of tens of thousands of meters suddenly swept up, and the stormtroopers who had not yet retreated saw the horrifying scene of the sky being flooded by seawater.

Then, the earth cracked and the core collapsed. The fate of Scarif was the same as that of Jedha, shattered into slag and no longer existed!

Seeing this scene, Admiral Raddus and other rebel allies were secretly glad.

If this shot hit their Raddus, the entire battleship would be destroyed in an instant, and perhaps the Sojourner Dreadnought behind it would also suffer together.

Seeing this, Jack Wells, who was far away at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, shook his head and tutted his lips: "Tarkin, this old beast is really cruel."

"Scarif, such a beautiful planet, was blown up just like that. I wanted to wait until the integration is over and spend a few days on vacation there."

"What a waste!"

Scarif is still quite beautiful and pleasing to the eye in terms of natural landscape. It is also a good choice to develop an interstellar tourist attraction.

It's a pity that it won't be long before Scarif will become scattered rocks, meteors, and land debris.

In front of the center console, Leon, who was indifferent, was silent throughout the whole process. He knew that Tarkin did this to ensure that his position would not be affected.

From this point, it can be seen that there are many fence-sitters in the Galactic Empire, otherwise the empire would not have collapsed so quickly in just a few years.

Too many high-ranking figures in the Empire, like Palpatine, have longed for progress to the point of short-sightedness, with no regard for the long-term development and consequences of the Empire.

For Tarkin, the theft of the Death Star blueprints was Orson's responsibility anyway. Even if he failed to take down the Rebel Alliance's gang of rebels, he would at most be held accountable for his lack of support.

Now that there is no competitor in Orson, Tarkin's position under his butt can continue to be stable for a while.

Here, after witnessing the power of the Death Star's main gun, the Rebel Alliance fleet immediately abandoned the Empire's carrier-based aircraft and evacuated from Scarif's orbit.

Most of the fleet arrays of the world's giants also started hyperspace jumps one after another and escaped from the Scarif galaxy.

However, at this moment, the Empire's executor, the Super Star Destroyer, arrived at the space battlefield of Scarif.

The scale and length of this super Star Destroyer is more than ten times larger than the Empire-class Star Destroyer, with the overall length reaching an astonishing 19 kilometers.

In addition to continuing the dagger-shaped hull shape of the Imperial Star Destroyer, other device parameters are also qualitatively different from ordinary Star Destroyers.

The smooth hull presents an arrow shape. There is a city-like island in the central area of ​​the battleship, and a dense array of turrets is evenly distributed on the island.

The trapezoidal command tower stands at the tail of the ship island, coordinating the combat orders of various parts of the warship.

The red light emitted by as many as 13 giant engine thrusters pushed this giant battleship comparable to the Sojourner Dreadnought in the dark space.

This is the true core mothership of the Galactic Empire, the ultimate weapon second only to the Death Star. In terms of overall momentum, it is not far behind even the dreadnought.

More importantly, the captain commanding this super Star Destroyer is none other than the most famous villain in the "Star Wars" universe, Darth Vader!

At this moment, Vader was wearing black metal power armor, standing at the command center headquarters of the Executor, ordering the warship to move forward quickly to pursue the invading enemy.

"Fortunately, our Lord Vader did not waste time."

Tarkin finally smiled with satisfaction when he saw Darth Vader appear, which is why he didn't use the Death Star to intercept the Rebel fleet.

When Darth Vader arrives in the Executor, you don't need to worry about all the troubles, just leave it to him.

At this moment, the sudden appearance of the Executor immediately put the dreadnought and the rebel fleet into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides before they could retreat.

Most of the battleship arrays of the world's giants are parked on the periphery of the star system, so they can leave quickly before receiving the retreat order.

Even the flagship Mantle has arrived at the edge of the galaxy and will be able to leave safely soon.

Only the Sojourner dreadnought, which was leading the battle, was trapped in the enemy's territory. In front was the Death Star like a battle fortress, and behind was the Executor blocking the retreat.

If they don't find a way to escape, Megatron and Admiral Raddus will die in the attack from both sides.

"Hahaha, these rebels still want to enter the hyperspace channel? No way! The Executor is blocking them. If they dare to rush through, they are seeking death."

Tarkin had an intoxicating smile on his face. After this battle, he was able to get rid of the rebels for nothing, and he also easily defeated his competitors.

This wave of killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful!

"If it's broken, Megatron and the others might not be able to escape."

Seeing what was happening in front of him, David in the Mantle's flagship headquarters began to frown and quickly turned his brain, thinking about the next countermeasures.

With the Executor's powerful firepower, it would be difficult for the Dreadnought to withstand the continuous bombardment just by relying on its own energy shield field.

What's more, there is the Death Star's super laser cannon in front. Once the empire forms a pincer attack, Megatron will be completely dead!

If they forcefully rescue people, the Mantle can only destroy the Imperial Army's Executor or the Death Star, but doing so will affect Li Ang's strategic deployment.

Difficult, too difficult!

Small carrier-based aircraft or frigates may still have a chance to escape from the cracks. After all, the Executor is too lazy to deal with such remnants.

But it is absolutely impossible for the Enforcer to let go of large battleships like the Dreadnought and the Raddus. Darth Vader is here to intercept the Rebel flagship.

Paul realized that if this continued, Megatron would definitely be doomed, so he immediately stood up and said:

"Captain, I will act as a decoy while you send an assault boat to pick up the dreadnought as it enters hyperspace!"

"What are you going to do?"

David turned his head to look at David. He was quite surprised that Paul could volunteer to stand up at this time.

"I'll find a way to lure the Executor away and create a chance for the Dreadnought and Radus to escape. Their target is me!"

Paul said firmly, only he could attract the attention of the Imperial Army at this time and give Megatron and Admiral Raddus a chance to escape.

David was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Go ahead."

At this juncture, David had no better solution to the current problem, so he could only allow Paul to take the risk.

Anyway, it is impossible for a giant company in the world to abandon its employees and watch Megatron and hundreds of Astartes die for the sake of the so-called strategic overall situation.

"yes!"

After getting David's nod of permission, Paul immediately ran out of the bridge headquarters, came to the hangar of the Mantle, and rushed out in his own transformed spaceship.

Soon, Paul's trail appeared in the sight of the Imperial Army.

When he saw Paul reappear, Darth Rigg immediately sent an urgent report to Vader: "Lord Vader, it's him--!"

"This man is the Jedi Knight who appeared on Jedha, and he also stole the database information on Scarif."

Darth Rigg was in a hurry and even forgot the fact that Paul was not a Jedi Knight at all. He just wanted to catch this guy and interrogate him about his origins.

"Really."

Sure enough, Darth Vader was curious about Paul. He was also a Jedi Knight, so he was also interested in Paul.

If Paul was a Jedi Knight, then he had to judge whether to kill this guy based on his past friendship with him.

At this time, the Empire's TIE fighters attacked Paul again, but with only these cheap starfighters, they could not intercept Paul's spaceship.

He drove the transforming spaceship left and right, easily tearing through the TIE fighter's pursuit and interception line, and came to the center of the space battlefield.

After seeing Paul's driving skills and amazing reaction, Darth Vader became more and more convinced in his heart that this Jedi Knight must be extraordinary.

If this person is really a Jedi Knight and has no entanglement with him, then Vader would not mind pulling him to the dark side of the Force.

Anyway, the position of the Lord of the Sith Empire is not limited to a certain number of people. The Sith stage is awesome.

At this time, seeing Paul driving the transforming spaceship towards him, even the Executor is approaching.

Admiral Raddus suddenly wanted to cry but had no tears.

Paul treated their Rebel Alliance as a discarded child in order to cover his own people's departure.

Sure enough, without the double team of the Executor, the Sojourner Dreadnought successfully escaped from the narrow passage and followed the large army of the Universal Corporation into the hyperspace channel.

After a while, Paul drove the spaceship to the hangar of the Raddus of the Rebel Alliance.

Although no normal person could accept such a jinx after being messed up by Paul.

But the Rebels had no other good way now, and could only hope that Paul could do something for them.

At this time, the Raddus had absorbed most of the firepower of the Star Destroyer, and it would not be able to hold on any longer.

Immediately, as the Executor approached, 5,000 powerful turbo laser cannons and heavy ion cannons opened fire at the same time, pouring firepower madly at the Raddus.

The dark green lasers came like a storm, and the several frigates responsible for covering the Raddus were instantly submerged in this laser rain.

The Raddus was also paralyzed in an instant and completely lost its combat capability.

Red damage warnings flashed everywhere in the entire battleship, and the hull of the ship was also bombarded by the laser rain, like the bumpy surface of the moon.

Severe structural damage made the Raddus look like it would collapse at any time and break into two pieces.

However, this was only the result of the Executor's mercy. If it weren't for the fear of accidentally injuring Paul, Vader would have opened fire and bombarded the rebels to death.

"Start boarding the battleship. I want to capture the Jedi!"

With Darth Vader's order, the stormtroopers swarmed and marched towards the scrapped Raddus.

On the Raddus, which was about to fall apart, Paul met Admiral Raddus, the captain of the rebels.

In fact, he was also quite curious, why Admiral Raddus was still willing to accept him in this situation, and his doing so was almost the same as seeking death.

"Young and brave Jedi, I really hope to meet you when it is safe, so I will definitely be happier."

Admiral Raddus did not angrily rebuke Paul for sacrificing the rebels to protect his own people. He faced the other party calmly and calmly, and spoke slowly.

"Thank you for sending the Death Star design information. This is crucial to our cause. It's a pity that we failed to send the information out safely."

It turned out that just before the Raddus was attacked from both sides by the Death Star and the Executor, Admiral Raddus sent several spaceships to escort the Death Star design information away.

It's a pity that these spaceships were destroyed one by one by the Imperial Army before entering the hyperspace channel.

The only thing to be thankful for is that another "friendly" force that also fought back against the tyranny of the Empire took the Death Star design safely away.

This at least means that their raid was not in vain. The fatal weakness of the Death Star will sooner or later be known to the soldiers of the Rebel Alliance.
