As the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray, finally made up his mind, he gave an order, and the fleet of the entire Trade Federation moved again.
They first released nerve gas to the lounge where Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were and then sent hundreds of B-1 Battle Droids to collect the bodies.
In the hangar platform, the Vulture Droid Fighter suddenly launched an attack and directly destroyed the Republic Consular-Class Light Assault Cruiser that was completely defenseless!
After that, the Army of Droids that had already been ready to go started to move immediately. A large number of B-1 Battle Droids assembled in the cabin of the Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 Cargo Freighter neatly entered the Multi-Troop Transport, and then these 31-meter-long armored monsters entered the C-9979 Landing Crafts.
In the flagship's living room, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi swung their Lightsabers through the nerve gas unscathed, cutting down hundreds of B-1 Battle Droids in the hallway with ease.
The hatch next to it was suddenly opened, and Xiao Guanghua came out with a bottle of wine. Just in time to see the scene where two Jedi knights opened Wushuang in the formation of B-1 Battle Droids, he was stunned.
Seeing someone come out suddenly, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were also stunned for a while. They didn't expect that there was actually a human being on the spaceship of the Trade Federation.
"Hi'er..." Xiao Guanghua hiccupped, turned around and closed the door silently.
There was another burst of gunfire, Lightsaber swinging, and metal parts falling from outside the door.
Gui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi did not delay and rushed directly to the bridge. Nute Gunray was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly mobilized many Droids to support him again. However, the B-1 Droid proved that this kind of Droid could not cause any harm to the Jedi Knights.
Finally, in desperation, Nute Gunray finally remembered that he still had the Destroyer Droid, and he hurriedly put the Destroyer Droid into the battlefield. After these Droids with Deflector Shields and fierce firepower joined the battlefield, Qui-Gon Jinn had to retreat temporarily. He and Obi-Wan Kenobi escaped through the ventilation pipes and ran around in the huge spaceship. The last one got into the cargo hold and disappeared.
"Asshole! Search for me! Be sure to catch those two Jedi Knights!" Nute Gunray roared!
At this time, Rune Haako also received a message from Queen Amidala of Naboo, "Your crimes are over! Trade Federation! The speaker has sent a special envoy, and your actions will be judged!"
Nute Gunray pretended to be surprised, "What special envoy? Why haven't I heard of it? No one has ever been here. I'm afraid you made a mistake, Your Majesty the Queen."
"You have gone too far this time! The Senate of the Republic will not sit idly by!" Queen Amidala said.
"I hope you calm down, Your Majesty, our actions are legal. After all, if there is no formal procedure, how dare we do this?" Nute Gunray continued to play dumb.
"Let's wait and see." Queen Amidala cut off the communication directly.
"I think she's right! We've gone too far this time! If we get into the Senate, we'll be doomed!" Rune Haako was extremely nervous.
"It's too late to say this now!" Nute Gunray roared, "This is the end, we can only keep going!"
At this time, Xiao Guanghua also came to the bridge. He saw the traces of the metal door of the bridge being melted by ultra-high temperature objects, and even a hole was melted in the thick explosion-proof door at the back, and he was shocked.
"Is this done by a Jedi Knight?" Xiao Guanghua said in shock.
"Ah, Mr. Military Observer, it's really great that you're fine. Don't worry, the Jedi Knights have been driven away by us." Rune Haako said.
"Did you just run away..." Xiao Guanghua frowned.
"I have ordered the Destroyer Droids to guard all the passages. The Jedi Knights are no match for the Destroyer Droids in this narrow place. They can only flee like mice." Nute Gunray said.
"Has the ground attack finally started?" Xiao Guanghua saw at the console, more than a dozen Operators are intensively controlling the Droids.
"That's right, according to the plan, our landing force will attack the 12 major cities on Naboo at the same time. It is impossible for their ground forces to stop our attack!" Nute Gunray said.
"In that case, I plan to go to the battlefield to have a look. Put me in the Army that is attacking Theed City."
"No problem, Mr. Military Observer. But I must remind you that the battlefield is very dangerous. My suggestion is to wait until we capture Theed City before you go down." Nute Gunray said.
Xiao Guanghua shook his head, "It's okay, I'm mainly going down to sober up because there will be a good show soon."
Nute Gunray thought he was talking about their occupation of Planet Naboo, and nodded excitedly: "You are right! There will be a good show soon! Start electronic jamming and cut off all communications on Planet Naboo!"
"You should have done this a month ago..." Xiao Guanghua muttered and walked towards the hangar.
In the hangar, several huge C-9979 Landing Crafts have already been loaded. The main body of this large-scale Landing Ship is two pairs of huge wings and cargo compartments, and the overall shape is earth-shaped. With a total length of 210 meters, a wingspan of 370 meters and a height of 150 meters, it is indeed a majestic behemoth.
Xiao Guanghua boarded one of the C-9979 Landing Crafts whose destination was Theed City, the capital of Planet Naboo, and flew directly towards Planet Naboo with the Droid Army.
Around him, hundreds of C-9979 Landing Crafts are also entering the atmosphere of Planet Naboo simultaneously, and the scene is truly spectacular!
Under the influence of these huge Landing Ships, it even rained lightly in many areas of the planet Naboo, which added a shadow and darkness to the invasion.
...
The planet Naboo, the capital city of Theed.
Quarsh Panaka, chief security officer of Naboo planet, came to the King's hall quickly, his face was pale, "Trade Federation C-9979 Landing Crafts appeared in the sky above our 12 major cities at the same time! The cities of Dee'ja, Keren, Moenia, Spearhead, and Theed are all under invasion! Communications from the local security force asking whether to open fire or resist."
"Resistance? Are you crazy? There is no way our Army is an opponent of the Trade Federation!" Sio Bibble shouted.
"Contact Senator Palpatine immediately!" Queen Amidala said decisively.
However, the communication with Senator Palpatine had just been connected, and the communication was cut off without saying a few words.
"All communication has been cut off!" Panaka said.
"Cut off the communication, then there is only one situation—invasion..." Governor Sio Bibble said in a deep voice.
Queen Amidala was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "We must ensure that no actions that may lead to war will occur, notify all the cities and security forces we can notify, do not resist, let the troops of the Trade Federation enter the city ."
"Giving up resistance is tantamount to surrender, Your Majesty the Queen," Panaka said with a heavy expression.
"Barely resisting will only cause my people to be massacred. As a Queen, I must be responsible to every one of my people." Queen Amidala looked at the officials around her and continued: "The Trade Federation will definitely let me sign the surrender agreement, but no matter what they do to me, I will not! This is the only thing I can do now as the Queen of Planet Naboo. They can catch me if they want so that their eyes will not look to other places."
Then she said to other officials, "Panaka, you break up some of the elite troops and hide them in the jungle around Theed City and some residential houses. Bibble, take stock of our treasury and try to transfer the most valuable inventory, which cannot fall into the hands of the Trade Federation."
"Yes!" Several officials immediately began to arrange work.
Queen Amidala looked out the window. In the sky, more than a dozen huge C-9979 Landing Crafts were piercing through the clouds and landing towards Theed City.
