The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 349 Hacking into the Core Database! Imperial Judge Darth Rigg!

"From this perspective, it will be difficult for us to lose this battle with the Empire!"

After seeing the different treatments of the army by both sides, Jack Wells became more confident about this confrontation with the Empire.

Since its establishment, the global giant company has never neglected the construction of the army, and has never stopped investing in the research and development of individual weapons and equipment.

After all, only the balanced development of the navy and the army can enable the giant corporations in the universe to deal with powerful enemies in different situations in multiple universes!
Now, facing the Imperial Army with weak ground power, the clone team of Megacorp has to give it a good beating.

“Fire—!”

Following the clone captain's order on the communication channel, every clone trooper held a hard beam cannon and fired beam cannons at various defense platforms of the Empire.

Faced with this sudden barrage of hard-light artillery, the Imperial Army had no time to launch any countermeasures and was instantly knocked to the ground by the intensive artillery fire.

Dozens of defense facilities were destroyed in a matter of seconds, and the detonated ammunition depot also caused a chain reaction explosion.

The entire Scarif military base was suddenly in chaos!
What's even more terrible is that this group of clone soldiers actually split up into small groups and dispersed in the jungle to fight guerrilla warfare with the Imperial Army, in order to tie up the Imperial Army's troops to the maximum extent.

And expand its own attack range.

Because these clone soldiers, each of them is equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment, and there is also a small magnetic levitation mobile platform to provide them with ammunition replenishment from time to time.

This means that the firepower of one of them is comparable to the attack power of a standard squad of the Imperial Army!
When the clone soldiers fired their hard light cannons in unison and launched a rampant artillery bombardment, the Imperial Army's first reaction was that the enemy had a reinforced regiment of combat units.

Otherwise, how could their base withstand such a fierce attack.

Suddenly, the entire Scarif base was filled with the alarm of enemy raid, and the transporters and soldiers ran around in panic.

At this time, Orson Krennic, director of the Death Star, was sitting in the headquarters at the top of the Tower, checking all the information Galen Erso had ever sent.

Soon, the noise outside reached the headquarters office. Listening to the chaotic noise outside the tower fortress, Orson was visibly stunned.

This is the security center of the Galactic Empire, the core area with the most stringent defenses. How could we encounter such a surprise attack?

Is the shield force field outside just for show? !

"You bastards! Don't you see the rebels making trouble outside? Why don't you send a distress signal!"

Looking at the frightened adjutants beside him, Orson was furious and yelled at his subordinates: "Hurry up and deal with the rebels."

After noticing signs of destruction outside the tower fortress, Orson estimated based on the extent of the fire damage at the scene that the other side had at least an entire legion of soldiers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cause such serious damage. They must request the headquarters to quickly send elite troops back for reinforcement.

At this moment, the noise and impact caused by the clone team had won enough attention for Paul, and the entire area around the tower fortress was in chaos.

The clone team, which originally consisted of less than a hundred people, scattered throughout the tropical rainforest, but the firepower they launched was like that of thousands of troops.

They just hid in the dense forest and fired at the surrounding military buildings, and considered their mission accomplished as long as they made a loud enough noise.

Under the influence of the AI ​​chips built into their brains, these clone soldiers are all top-notch soldiers, although they are not as good as mutant warriors like the Astartes and Spartans.

However, their tactical execution and coordination are still at a very high level, and they are very adept at fighting such guerrilla warfare.

Relying on the absolute advantage of individual weapons, the clone soldiers specifically fired at the ammunition depots, transport boats, fuel depots and other areas of the Scarif base.

The purpose is to trigger a series of chain explosion reactions, putting the Imperial Army in a difficult situation where it is difficult to identify the enemy's situation.

Before long, the area damage caused by this clone team began to cause the Imperial Army's casualties to soar.

At this time, the imperial commanders of various departments, including the Imperial Judges, were all surprised why Scarif, as the security center of the empire, was subjected to such fierce bombardment.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for so many enemy troops to sneak in through the planet’s gate channel!

While the fighting was raging outside, Paul and Chinny had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the tower fort. There were constant sounds of explosions and shockwaves from artillery fire all around.

It's hard to believe that this is the kind of chaos that a small team of clones could create.

"Fortunately, we didn't let them launch a surprise attack directly, otherwise these imperial soldiers would definitely give up resistance and directly destroy the important information inside."

Through the battle situation outside, Paul, like Jack, Johnny and other senior marshals at the headquarters, saw the weaknesses of the Imperial Army.

Considering the difference in individual soldier strength between the two sides, it would not be too difficult for the global giant to directly capture this military fortress.

But Paul couldn't just watch the other party destroy all the design drawings and information of the Death Star, otherwise everything would be in vain.

The military force that the Galactic Empire has that can truly compete with the giant corporations of the universe is the millions of Star Destroyers and Death Stars, including the Starkiller Base that is currently under development!
As for the combat units on the ground battlefield, there are Astartes warriors, Spartan warriors, Fremen Legion, Transformers troops, and even monster troops mixed with Kaiju.

Not to mention the Galactic Empire, even if other resistance forces and rebel forces, including the Yuuzhan Vong outside, were added, they might not be able to withstand the giant corporation's land combat power.

"The AI ​​Red Queen has successfully invaded, and the database route for the Death Star design has been compiled. Hurry and get the stuff!"

After receiving the signal sent back by the AI ​​Red Queen, Chini immediately shared the route on Paul's retina, and then the two of them cooperated tacitly and dived deep into the tower fortress.

……

At this moment, David, who had led the flagship Mantle, and the expeditionary force to the edge of the Scarif galaxy. He saw everything that happened inside through the first-person perspective of the clone soldiers.

After learning that the shield force field gate outside was completely closed and locked by the Imperial Army and Paul could no longer contact the outside world, David first looked at the time.

Then he instructed Megatron who was about to pick up Paul: "No matter what happens, start destroying the shield force field in 25 minutes and forcibly capture Scarif!"

【Yes. 】

Megatron responded.

Before Paul set out on the mission, he agreed with headquarters on the completion time, which was 25 minutes.

Once this time period is exceeded, regardless of whether he has obtained the Death Star design drawings or not, for safety reasons, the Enterprise must launch an attack and forcibly destroy the shield field of the planet Scarif.

At worst, we can just give up the Death Star design information and let the research department of the giant company spend 10 years on its own to overcome the technical difficulties of Starkiller Base.

At this moment, on the tower fort side.

At this moment, the stormtroopers stationed at the Tower Fort base were still rushing to support the attacked landing platform. Taking advantage of this period of troop shortage, Paul and Chinny took the opportunity to enter.

After entering the tower fort, Paul could clearly see that there were fewer guards here than outside, but those who stayed were elite soldiers. In addition, there were many guard robots inside the tower fort, and it would take some time for the AI ​​Red Queen to successfully hack all of them.

But it was obviously impossible for Paul to wait until the Red Queen successfully hacked into the computer before heading to his destination.

In this time-sensitive situation, getting the target one second earlier can also allow for safe evacuation earlier.

[The best route selection is being updated in real time——! ]

Since defense robots appear in the tower from time to time, in order to avoid these troubles, the Red Queen will automatically correct the new front-line route according to the internal dynamic situation.

As long as Paul can take over the database and connect to the physical external components of the AI ​​Red Queen, he can instantly upload all the information to the headquarters of the giant company.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the Imperial Army destroying the data at all costs, and the expeditionary forces of the Universal Corporation can also launch an all-out attack with confidence.

Just as Paul was about to approach the core database on the top floor, in order to save some time, he simply gave up the slow infiltration.

Just hold the lightsaber and kill all enemies you see on the spot.

When a group of Imperial stormtroopers walked to the corner and just met Paul, the next second, lightsabers and hard lightsabers took turns to serve, and in a blink of an eye, only corpses were left on the ground.

With the help of the AI ​​Red Queen, the alarm system of the tower fort was temporarily locked, so the soldiers' requests for help and calls did not receive the attention of the command room.

What's more, there were constant alarm sounds everywhere outside, and it was not easy for the top floor of the tower fortress to notice the unrest inside.

Soon, through this rapid infiltration method of killing anyone who stands in their way, Paul and Chini quickly arrived at the location of the database.

The guard in charge of guarding the house had no chance to ask any questions before the two men slashed his throat with a sword. He fell unconscious on the ground and became the victim of Paul and Chinnie's swords.

However, when the door of the database was successfully hacked by the AI ​​Red Queen and slowly opened, inside was an army of death ready for battle!

It was obvious that they had been waiting here for a long time.

The leader of the Death Troops is an Imperial Judge. He wears a black cloak and holds a double-edged rotating lightsaber. The black helmet on his head covers his entire face, making him look particularly mysterious and majestic.

The Imperial Judge first looked at Paul carefully, then snorted coldly: "You are the Jedi Knight who appeared on Jedha."

"I didn't expect that the Death Star didn't kill you. But it's a good thing this way. It saves us from searching for you everywhere. Now we can catch all of you rebels in one fell swoop!"

After saying this, the judge took a stance, ready to fend off Paul who was about to attack.

But Paul did not rush forward in a hurry. Instead, he stared at the other party and seemed to be muttering something. That was his sound control power!

"Kneel down—!"

When the words came out, the dead soldiers beside the judge knelt down one after another, but the judge himself was just in a trance for a while and did not obey Paul's orders like the other soldiers.

"What a terrifying power! No wonder those losers below can't stop you."

The Imperial Inquisitor regained his balance, gripped the lightsaber tightly, and said, "I am the one who controls the dark side of the Force, Imperial Inquisitor Darth Rigg!"

"Young man, I admit that you have some skills, but when it comes to lightsaber fighting, you are no match for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rigg rushed towards Paul, but Paul blocked his attacks with his sword and used a turn to force the opponent back.

It was not until this time that Rigg realized that there was something wrong with Paul's moves. They were neither the moves of a Jedi Knight nor the ways of the dark side of the Force. It was a completely mixed bag!

"You're not using the Force, who the hell are you!"

Darth Rigg's face changed. For a Force user like him, he only needed to fight with him once or twice to get a rough idea of ​​the opponent's Force strength.

But after trying several moves in succession, he didn't feel even a little bit of the Force on Paul, only a familiar but unfamiliar energy fluctuation.

"Hit me first!"

On the surface, Paul pretended to be ready to fight Darth Rigg for three hundred rounds, but in the blink of an eye, he took advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned by him and ran towards the depths of the database.

He didn't come here to fight Rig in a one-on-one duel. The information in the database was Paul's goal, and he had to quickly connect the physical external device to the database socket.

Darth Rigg, who was ignored by Paul, was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but before he could rush over to stop Paul, he was stopped by Chenie with a hard lightsaber.

"If you want to get through, you have to get through me first!"

Chini made a sword stance. She had to buy enough time for the opponent before Paul got the data.

"Then I'll kill you first--!"

As soon as the words fell, the lightsabers in the hands of both sides clashed together.

Paul quickly went to the server terminal of the database and plugged in the hardware he carried with him. The built-in virus quickly uploaded the information to the headquarters of the giant company.

Here, Darth Rigg became more and more stunned and surprised when he saw that his indestructible lightsaber was unable to break the hard lightsaber in Chinnie's hand.

Only a very small number of material can withstand the attack of a lightsaber. Looking at the lightsaber in Chini's hand that doesn't look like a lightsaber, Rigg is increasingly unable to guess the other party's identity.

Soon, Rigg sensed the same energy fluctuations in Chini's body through the Force as Paul's. He couldn't help but blurt out and asked:

"You are the same kind of person as him? Why can't I sense your Force?"

At this moment, Darth Rigg was completely panicked. It was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. Is there other energy in this universe besides the Force?

This is impossible!
"Without further ado!"

Cheni exerted a strong force to force Rigg back. Judging from the opponent's swordsmanship and energy, Darth Rigg became more and more certain of his inner judgment.

This group of people might be a force from outside the galaxy.

It turned out that the reconnaissance devices sent by the Yuuzhan Vong and the turmoil caused by political spies had indeed attracted the attention of the Imperial Supreme Senate.

But these signs are only a few examples after all and cannot be used as evidence that extragalactic galaxies are invading the Milky Way.

But now, Rigg has witnessed with his own eyes a form of energy that is completely different from the Force, which makes him suspect that the other party's origin is from the mysterious outside of the Milky Way.
