The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2573 A critical moment

2573, close call

General Grievous's fighter plane staggered into the atmosphere of the planet Targon, and then flew straight towards the palace in the planet's capital.

In fact, this place is very easy to find. You can see it even without a scanner. The largest urban cluster is the capital, and the most luxurious building in the middle is the royal palace.

The Targon king, the Eternal Klaue, who was anxiously waiting for the Eye of Palpatine to react in his gold-covered palace, felt his heart almost beat out of his chest.

There was a loud bang, and a tattered fighter plane crashed in. The fighter plane was covered with damage, thick smoke, and electric sparks kept bursting. It slid on the ground for a long distance, knocking away all the gorgeous gold decorations on the ground, and then it crashed into a pillar and stopped.

Forever Crow was trembling all over, hiding under his throne, not even daring to raise his head. His guards had been scattered when the fighter planes crashed in just now, and now they could only stand far away and did not dare to get close at all.

I only saw the fighter jet's door open and a tall and burly figure walked down.

Under the tattered cloak with burn holes everywhere, the first thing everyone saw was a pair of blood-red vertical pupils! The terrible murderous intent instantly frightened people. The hands of the guards holding the guns were shaking, and they didn't even have the courage to pull the trigger.

General Grievous's eyes flashed fiercely as he glanced at the people around him and growled, "Get lost!"

Seeing the burnt and damaged mechanical body covered with blood of various colors, and the three terrifying mechanical arms, and the most terrifying thing was the blood-red lightsaber held by one of the arms, the guards didn't know who was the leader, but they screamed and dropped their weapons and fled in panic.

General Grievous walked forward, grabbed the throne made of pure gold, pulled out the throne weighing several tons, and threw it aside with a bang.

A fat Targon man, covered with all kinds of gold and silver treasures, was curled up with his big butt sticking out, shivering.

General Grievous picked him up as if he were catching a chicken. The Targons evolved from cold-blooded bird-like animals, so it is accurate to say that he was catching a chicken.

"You, are their leader?" asked the terrible and hoarse voice of General Grievous.

"Yes... yes... my name is K... Klau..." Forever Klau didn't even dare to add the hereditary ancestral title of the Targon royal family to himself, and just answered tremblingly.

"If you still want to save your planet, find me your best spaceship immediately! And take off within half an hour!!" General Grievous said grimly.

"Where...where?" asked the Eternal Crow tremblingly.

"Go find the Dawn Kingdom's fleet! Kill this thing before it causes more damage!" said General Grievous.

"Okay... okay... I'll prepare the delegation right away... and the gifts..." said the Forever Crow. "You! Follow me!" General Grievous said sternly.

……

At this moment, Vice Admiral Lin Nanyi of the Kingdom of Dawn Navy has already issued an order for the entire army to attack - the target is the planet Targon!
The planet Targon was not far from the planet Tugel where his fleet was stationed, but there was no direct hyperspace channel connecting the two star systems, so they needed to pass through two other uninhabited star systems and make a small detour.

Although there had been bad news on the planet Dak before, including the assassination of the Given Governor Kobori and the assassination of the Mon Calamari King Lee-Char, the leader of the Quarren, Nosori, repeatedly assured that he had enough power to quell all the riots on the planet Dak, and that a new king would be elected soon, also from the Mon Calamari.

Nosori told Lin Nanyi with certainty that as long as the new king was a Mon Calamari, they would not riot or even rebel. As long as they did not openly confront each other, there would still be room for everything to turn around.

However, this incident also made Lin Nanyi feel that things were gradually getting out of control, so he decided to quickly solve the problem of Palpatine's Eye before things became more complicated, and then return to the planet Lothal to slowly solve the problems of the planet Dak, the Mon Calamari, the Given, and the Eastern Fleet of the Galactic Empire.

What made him decide to take the initiative was the movements of Gideon Tarkin's Eastern Fleet of the Galactic Empire.

Gideon Tarkin sent a squadron to advance as a gesture, but the main fleet showed no signs of action and just stayed at the base on the planet Boonta. Not only that, he also built a lot of buildings on the planet Boonta, sending a large number of engineering ships to repair the infrastructure that was previously destroyed by General Grievous.

The large quantities of supplies transported in from outside the galaxy are mostly building materials. Everything indicates that the Galactic Empire also plans to fight a protracted war in the East.

To reach Dak from Bonta, one must first pass through the Perlemian Trade Route, then transfer to a slightly smaller hyperspace branch, the Overic Griplink. Although this route is a very stable hyperspace route, it requires a detour and several jumps, which takes about two to three days. This is also the main route for Dak's external traffic.

Another option is to take the Giblim Route, which is a relatively remote branch line. The hyperspace situation is very unstable and not suitable for large-scale fleets. So although the distance is shorter, it takes longer to reach the Dark Planet. Only some smugglers will take this route.

Then there is no direct hyperspace channel connection from the planet Dark to the planet Losar, so a detour is required, which takes about a day. If it is a large-scale fleet, it will take longer.

Therefore, Lin Nanyi judged that even if the Galactic Empire’s fleet wanted to launch a sneak attack on his rear, he would have enough time to react.

Therefore, he made up his mind to launch a full-scale assault! He planned to travel back and forth for two days, and fight for at most one day, which means that within three days, he would be able to completely eliminate the Eye of Palpatine. Then he would return to the planet Lothal. At this time, even if the fleet of the Galactic Empire had any ideas, it would at most be halfway.

For this reason, he repeatedly reminded his officers at all levels that in this battle, they must fight fast and with a fierce momentum! Speed ​​is the key to this battle!

As long as the speed is fast enough, Palpatine's Eye and the main fleet of the Galactic Empire can be separated and destroyed!
Otherwise, once the two sides join forces, the fleet in his hands will have no chance of winning!

"All troops attack!" Lin Nan gave the order immediately.

[Stop it immediately!] A stern shout came from the public channel!
