Chapter 276 The Battle of Geonosis (1)

The Revival-class Star Destroyer displayed its massive 3.2-kilometer-long hull without any concealment, hovering fearlessly in its high orbit above Geonosis like a ferocious beast.

Its silvery-gray shell gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if announcing its arrival to the planet.

At the same time, the eight accompanying gunboats also began to move.

They quickly deployed a large number of drones, which swarmed through space like bees, transmitting the collected information back via data links and creating a complete 3D map in a short time.

Behind the fleet, a large number of transport ships, under the close escort of TIE interceptors, sped toward Geonosis.

The alarm suddenly sounded in Count Dooku's ears, and his expression instantly turned serious.

Soon, Geonosis aliens projected the enemy fleet's situation onto the tactical platform.

When they saw the axial gun frigates they had never seen before next to the Revival-class Star Destroyer, they were filled with doubt and shock.

These peculiar warships were not built in any style they were familiar with, and they had never heard of the Quarter Shipyard ever building the giant cruiser before them.

However, before they could even think, the orbital bombardment had already begun.

This planet, famous for its mass production of robots, surprisingly lacks reliable orbital defense firepower.

The Revival-class star destroyers and axial gun frigates relentlessly unleashed their firepower on the ground. In an instant, the skies above Geonosis were covered by dense artillery fire, as if the entire planet was trembling.

On the ground, Rukri Hook-class core ships were busily loading large numbers of combat robots, which were originally intended as transport vehicles and were not equipped with shields.

However, faced with the sudden crisis, these core ships had to take off urgently in an attempt to escape danger.

However, this move made them excellent targets for the Revival-class Star Destroyers and axial gun frigates.

The Star Destroyer's turbolaser cannons and the axial gun frigates' arc launchers locked onto these massive spherical ships with the precision of a hunter aiming at a turkey.

Each shelling was accompanied by a deafening explosion, and these unprotected core ships were destroyed in an instant.

The numerous combat robots they carried were also torn to pieces in the explosion, turning into piles of useless scrap metal.

Meanwhile, the transport fleet was not subjected to any threatening firepower and successfully deployed a large number of AT-AT armored walkers, AT-ST reconnaissance walkers, and stormtroopers to the surface of Geonosis.

Meanwhile, the swarm of drones that detached from the axial gun frigate quickly sprang into action, with some of them entering the atmosphere of Geonosis to provide firing coordinates for the Revival-class star destroyers.

In this way, any combat robots attempting to gather would be unable to escape the Star Destroyer's attack. They would be hit by a laser cannon from the Revival-class Star Destroyer after the drones transmitted data back, making them unable to effectively interfere with or kill the landing forces.

Skywalker stepped off the transport plane, lightsaber in hand, and looked at the bustling battlefield.

The stormtroopers have begun their advance under the cover of artillery fire from various walking machines. These clone stormtroopers are in no way inferior to the clone legions of the Galactic Republic in terms of combat power.

This gave Skywalker the feeling of being back in the Clone Wars, but soon, a passing AT-AT pulled him back to reality.

Explosive beams danced through the air as stormtroopers and armored units advanced triumphantly.

This is the scene that Obi-Wan Kenobi saw when he arrived on Geonosis in his spaceship.

The Revival-class Star Destroyer was bombarding the ground relentlessly, while the axial gun frigate beside it would occasionally fire a powerful arc of electricity. A large number of drones were deployed in this space, monitoring everything here.

Obi-Wan stared intently at the fighter radar, the dense array of unknown aircraft markings making him break out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know where these fighter jets came from, nor what their purpose was.

But one thing he was certain of was that, regardless of whether this planet was related to the Sith, he could not stand idly by and allow this fleet to carry out such high-intensity orbital bombardment of the ground.

Just as Obi-Wan was about to send a communication warning the fleet to cease its attack, squadrons of TIE interceptors suddenly appeared on his radar and quickly locked onto his aircraft.

“Alright.” Obi-Wan sighed helplessly. Hearing the sharp alarm from the radar, he pulled up his fighter jet without hesitation, trying to shake off the TIE interceptor as quickly as possible.

However, these TIE interceptors were clearly well-trained; they immediately split into several squadrons and, like a group of hungry sharks, relentlessly pursued Obi-Wan's aircraft.

Moreover, these TIE interceptors were no less capable than the fighter piloted by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and in some aspects even surpassed it.

Green beams of energy rained down on Obi-Wan Kenobi's fighter, forcing him to repeatedly perform high-G maneuvers to evade these deadly attacks.

Each maneuver put immense pressure on his body, but he dared not relax for a moment, because if he was not careful, his fighter jet could be hit by these explosive beams and instantly turned to ashes.

These TIE interceptors coordinated perfectly with each other, like well-trained hunters.

They acted as one, each attack perfectly timed, giving Obi-Wan no chance to breathe.

Obi-Wan Kenobi piloted his starfighter, skillfully weaving through a hail of bullets.

However, no matter how hard he tried, whenever he successfully locked onto a TIE interceptor at the six o'clock position, two other TIE interceptors would appear like ghosts from two directions and launch a fierce attack on him.

Obi-Wan was forced to abandon his original target and deal with this sudden threat.

His Force abilities were fully utilized in the battle, but against such a well-coordinated enemy, he was unable to inflict any substantial damage on any of the TIE interceptors.

Time ticked by, and the fierce battle had been going on for several tens of minutes.

Sweat began to bead on Obi-Wan's forehead, and his breathing became rapid. He couldn't help but wonder if his own abilities had declined, or if the pilots of these TIE interceptors were simply too powerful.

Even in the midst of this intense battle, Obi-Wan Kenobi did not forget his mission.

He quickly sent out a distress signal, hoping to get support from the Jedi Order.

He believed that as long as more Jedi joined the battle, they would surely be able to defeat these powerful enemies.

Meanwhile, on the ground battlefield of Geonosis, a blue light pierced the darkness, and Skywalker, wielding a blue lightsaber, appeared on the battlefield.

His appearance instantly drew the attention of everyone in the Trade Federation, including Count Dooku.

Count Dooku stared at Skywalker, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.

He didn't understand why Skywalker was here; it was clearly not part of his plan.

However, Count Dooku was not alarmed by this; instead, he became interested in this unexpected situation.

He decided to change his plans and personally appear on the battlefield to lure the young Skywalker to him.

Count Dooku's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He believes this will be an interesting match.
