The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2487: Operation Poseidon (III)

As expected, the Geonosian Queen Carina the Great's lair was surrounded by countless Geonosian warrior castes. Seeing the Imperial soldiers coming, they all made a shrill cry, swearing and cursing in the local language, and then raised their sonic blasters and fired wildly!

Orson Krennic yelled and ran back, but was grabbed by the collar by the prophet Daala, twisted back like a chicken and put behind him. He wielded a double-bladed lightsaber with his other hand, deflecting all the blaster beams.

However, the high-frequency sound waves from those sonic blasters still hurt Orson Krennic. This senior general who came from a technical background had never seen such a battlefield before. He covered his ears and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Then, the two Aquitens-class light cruisers on standby in the sky reduced the power of their main guns and opened fire in the direction where the Geonosian warriors flew from.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The fierce bombing blew everything around into the sky. The outside of the nest was blasted into pieces and flames shot up into the sky. Even the underground passages in some places were exposed.

At this time, the hatch of the Aquitens-class light cruiser opened, and hundreds of small spherical reconnaissance drones flew out. They flew in through the blasted gap and turned on X-ray scanning to image and detect the entire interior of the nest.

Then hundreds of stormtroopers came down in LAAT landing craft and rushed directly into the depths of the nest.

Almost immediately, there was a burst of heavy gunfire and explosions from inside.

"Let's go!" Prophet Dara waved his hand and dragged Orson Krennic in.

The nest where Emperor Kalina had stayed before was not deep, but it was empty with only several empty and deep passages, and no one knew where they led to.

"This bastard! She must have planned this all along! I told her before that she was not allowed to dig holes in the mountain! She could only dig here! All the hatching of Geonosians will be carried out in the hatchery built outside!" Orson Krennic said loudly, furious, pointing at a destroyed building outside the nest.

That building was huge, and it was where these millions of Geonosian laborers were hatched. It was once equipped with the most advanced equipment to ensure the smooth progress of the hatching, and it would also give each hatched laborer a metal brand.

That's right, the Galactic Empire treated these Geonosians like livestock, ignoring the fact that they were also a highly technological race with a glorious civilization and developed industry. All the Empire wanted was to exploit their labor.

Prophet Dara glanced at the building and said coldly: "It is obvious that the queen is not very obedient. Go in and drag her out for me!"

He waved his hand, and several death soldiers immediately separated, opened their portable shields, and walked towards the depths of the pits.

Fierce fighting broke out almost immediately, but it was obvious that the Geonosians were no match for the Death Guards and were beaten back. In other directions, the Imperial Stormtroopers were firmly blocked and made slow progress.

Outside the nest, a large number of Geonosian warriors sensed the call of the Geonosian Queen through the connection of the hive consciousness, and they all flew over here.

However, what awaited them were the cold muzzles of two Aquitens-class light cruisers!

The Aquitens-class light cruisers opened fire at full power. The point defense laser cannons were no longer used to attack fighters, but were instead used to shoot the Geonosians flying all over the sky. The efficiency was extremely high! Countless Geonosians were hit by the point defense laser cannons and instantly exploded and evaporated, turning into green blood mist.

The close defense firepower of the two Aquitens-class light cruisers actually prevented tens of thousands of Geonosians from getting close. In a very short period of time, tens of thousands of people were shot dead!

The Geonosians continued to approach, and since they did not dare to come from the sky, they approached from the ground. But even so, they were still bombarded by the Aquitens turbolaser cannons, causing heavy casualties.

Therefore, these Geonosians had to enter from underground passages in other places and use the underground pipe network secretly dug in recent years to provide reinforcements. However, this slowed down the speed a lot.

At this time, Orson Krennic, under the protection of the prophet Dara, rushed towards the depths of the underground pipe network. Along the way, no Geonosian could stop them. In this narrow pit, their numerical advantage could not be used, and they could only be slaughtered piece by piece.

…

At the same time, deep in the lair, Ganzo-Doso was shouting to their queen: "My Queen, we must leave as soon as possible! The Dawn Kingdom's spaceship is at the exit of Channel 7, but they will only wait for us for half an hour!"

"No! We want to occupy the Death Star! And then take the Death Star away! Our engineers have secretly completed the installation of the hyperspace engine, and those workers have been working overtime, resulting in a large number of deaths. Now as long as we can occupy the Death Star, we will win!" said Emperor Kalina.

"It's too late to capture the Death Star now! The Empire's reinforcement fleet will arrive at any time, and then we will have no way to escape!" Ganzo-Dasso said anxiously.

"We have the advantage now! My people have destroyed the shield generator, and now the Death Star is unprotected. We still have millions of soldiers inside the Death Star! In just a little more time, the Death Star can be occupied!" Emperor Kalina didn't listen at all.

Ganzo Daso didn't know what to say. He nodded heavily and continued to gather the Geonosian warriors to block the Imperial Death Guards who were coming from outside the passage.

Inside the Death Star, the Geonosians were in the ascendancy, and they had defeated the Imperial garrison with their numbers. The Imperial fighters had rushed into the Death Star to reinforce it, but were shot down by the Dawn Kingdom's ace pilots flying Ghost fighters. Now, inside the Death Star, the Imperial army didn't even have air superiority!

After Nova and the Protoss Dark Templar Voldaras killed the Dark Prophet Tana, the Imperial army here lost unified command and was no longer a threat. They continued to kill towards the energy core of the Death Star, preparing to completely destroy it.

According to calculations, as long as the energy core can be destroyed, it will take at least five years for the Galactic Empire to complete the construction of the Death Star.

These five years are enough for the Kingdom of Dawn to conquer Coruscant!

The so-called Poseidon Plan is a suicidal plan to sacrifice the Geonosians in exchange for a chance to destroy the Death Star!
