Anakin was furious when Ahsoka called himself "Master", "Hey! Anyway, at least I am still your Master for the time being. Is that why you are so disrespectful to your Master? Brat!"
Ahsoka's face was full of disbelief, but she still lowered her head and confessed: "Okay, I understand, God... oh, Master."
"Okay, at least now I'm going to perform a surprise Combat Mission, you follow Rex first, and learn how to survive on the battlefield!" He threw Ahsoka to Rex and walked aside to command the new reinforcements and prepare for his raid.
That's right, a surprise attack, this is what he just thought of. In any case, Anakin will never stop his attack.
He and Rex led the Torrent Company, the most elite of the 501st Battalion, to launch a surprise attack from the Commercial Center full of buildings, destroying a Confederacy of Independent Systems Tank Unit that was advancing to the front. This attack blocked an attack originally planned by the Droid Army, leaving the Frontline Droid Army without enough Heavy Units, and the attack stalled again.
After that, the Clone Troopers began to establish a strong Air Defense Position, and as more and more V-19 Torrent Starfighters came down to support in space, the Confederacy Vulture Droid Starfighters had become less and less, and it was almost impossible to provide Air Cover.
As a result, the Clone Army established several new Artillery Positions, and the SPHA Heavy Artillery began to exert extremely powerful power. Under the intensive bombing, the Droids of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were blown to pieces, and it was impossible to organize them for a decent offence.
Seeing such a situation, Whorm Loathsom realized that the situation had come to an end and he could not recover, so he led the Troops to retreat to the position in the eastern suburbs again.
The Galactic Republic finally regained another round with great difficulty, but Anakin did not relax and immediately began to prepare for a counterattack, however, it would be even more difficult to counterattack. After all, the Droid Army still had Millions of Battle Droids, and in the counterattack, don't even count on the Christophsian Army. They didn't have the guts to rush out from behind the bunker.
Whorm Loathsom once again asked the Corporate Alliance for help, but this time, what he got in exchange was only a hysterical curse from Passel Argente. In Passel Argente's view, it was precisely because of Whorm Loathsom's incompetence that these Millions of Battle Droids were trapped in the quagmire of War on Christophsis and could not extricate themselves.
Whorm Loathsom was also struggling and he told Passel Argente that without Air Supremacy, it would be useless to have a few Million more Droids. Now the remaining more than a Hundred Vulture Droid Starfighters can't even cover his Command Center, so how can they fight?
Passel Argente had no choice but to cast fire on Admiral Trench, but Admiral Trench also told him that the existing Fleet could only do this, and he couldn't do more. If you have to blame, blame the Hutts for letting the Republic Fleet over.
On the battlefield, more is stronger, this is an eternal truth. Unless the level gap between the Commanders of the two sides is too large, it is almost impossible to win more with less.
At least the current Commanders of the Republic, Admiral Wullf Yularen and Obi-Wan Kenobi, would not be far behind Trench. In fact, with their current strength, it is indeed difficult for anyone to say that Admiral Trench could have done better.
Although Admiral Trench was very difficult under the offensive of the Republic Fleet, he was still able to hold on. He concentrated the Fleet near the Moon of Christophsis and used the Gravitational Field of the Moon to prevent the Starfighters of the Republic from going too deep.
It was also fortunate that the Republic was not equipped with ARC-170 Heavy Starfighters at this time. If it was the latter, then Admiral Trench would have only one way to retreat.
After disrupting the opponent's Starfighter Force, the powerful Ship-to-Ship Firepower of the Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, the Munificent-class Frigates, and the Recusant-class Light Destroyers came into play. Admiral Wullf Yularen was worried that the Fleet would suffer unnecessary losses, so he did not continue the pursuit. He just blocked Trench's Fleet and sent Starfighters down into the atmosphere of Christophsis to support Ground Operations.
In this situation, Passel Argente was finally desperate. He didn't dare to ask Count Dooku for help, so he ran to the Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor and the Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. But now the former is attacking Ryloth, and the latter is preparing to instigate a rebellion against Rodia, so they don't want to pay attention to him at all.
Then he went to the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan, San Hill, and the Director of the Fourth Group, Gross Shelby and acted recklessly.
"If we don't send reinforcements, Christophsis will be completely finished! The Kerkoidens will return to the Republic again, and we will have no chance to attack this Planet next time!" Passel Argente said loudly.
"This is something that can't be helped. If this is the case, allowing the Republic to maintain a Sizable Garrison on Christophsis can be regarded as a dispersion of their strength. Hahahahaha..." San Hill smiled slyly.
"In this case, my investment will be wiped out!" Passel Argente wailed.
"I'm sorry, my friend. But in business, it's normal to make money and lose money. What do you say?" San Hill said.
"Please help me, my attack on the Kamino also failed, and I was forced to retreat on the side of the Bothans. If this continues, I will have nothing to do with this war!" Passel Argente begged.
At this stage when the war just started, in fact, these Corporate Giants regarded this War as a business with no loss. Naturally, they were not willing to suffer heavy losses at the beginning of the War and thus fell behind when dividing the fruits of victory.
"Sorry, I can't do anything." San Hill shook his head, then turned to Gross Shelby and asked, "Ms. Shelby, do you still have a Fleet to support the Corporate Alliance?" ?"
Shelby said coldly: "If the Corporate Alliance can lift the Republic's Siege on the Mygeeto and Muunilinst Systems, then of course the Fleet will be fine."
"This..." Passel Argente naturally knew that this was impossible, he thought for a long time and then said in a deep voice: "Master Hill... I am sure that you are the only one who can save me now... If you have any conditions, you can just say it, as long as you can win the Battle of Christophsis, I will promise anything."
"Hehehehe..." San Hill laughed triumphantly, "If there is a way, indeed, it's not impossible...just..."
Passel Argente's eyes lit up, and he said hastily: "If it's possible, then I'm willing to give half of the profits from Christophsis in the future..."
"90%!" San Hill snorted coldly, "Besides, you have to be obedient."
Passel Argente was stunned, and after a long time, he wilted like a defeated rooster, "I see..."
A sly smile appeared on San Hill's face again, "Recently, a new type of Warship developed by me and the Fourth Group happened to be sailing near Tatooine. Of course, these are all Experimental Warships. To put it into actual combat, the price is very high."
"I know..." Argente whispered.
"To move Troops from under the nose of the Hutts, I still need to get through the upper and lower joints."
"Yes."
"At the same time, a good Commander is also essential."
"Yes..."
"The Republic has a large number of Starfighters, and we also need to come up with a way to deal with it."
"Yes..."
"So you get the point, it's very expensive. Do you think 90% is a lot?"
"Not much... not much..."
"Then, that's it." San Hill sneered and turned off the Subspace Transceiver.
...
"Passel Argente has given in, your plan is really too effective, Governor." A moment later, San Hill said to Tang Xiao in the communication.
Different from the haughty look in front of Passel Argente before, San Hill is smiling all over his face now, looking like a good brother.
Tang Xiao smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. In this way, the plan to bring the Corporate Alliance into our chariot is another step forward. Now that this is the case, Sev'rance Tann, you can attack."
