Chapter 89 - Chapter 89 Naboo's Counterattack (Part 2)

Just as Queen Amidala was on her way to the Palace of Theed.

On the Naboo plains, Mandalorians, Kaili people, and Gungans, transported from the hyperion, established defensive lines.

The Gungans' shield generators emitted ray shields, protecting all nearby allies.

"Jar Jar, you are responsible for leading the Gungans to assist us and the Kaili people," Jon Krell, the current Commander, said to the not-so-reliable Jar Jar Binks beside him.

"I'll definitely complete the mission, don't you worry," Jar Jar said nonchalantly.

The hyperion transport in the sky was transporting various weapons and equipment to the ground.

The blockade in the Universe had been forcibly torn apart by the Mandalore fleet, and the first to arrive was a convoy of transport ships—herculean-Class Transports.

Under the escort of several vikings, they reached a safe area and landed smoothly. The huge hatch opened, and the Mandalorians' transfer equipment rumbled out.

First were the hurricanes, these agile vehicles equipped with twin missile launchers, quickly dispersed and began to deploy.

However, what also emerged from the herculean were the awe-inspiring steel behemoths, the goliath robots. These bipedal mechs had strong mechanical legs and heavy armor, with missile launchers on their shoulders, allowing them to strike aerial units as well.

Every step they took made the ground tremble slightly.

SCVs were also transported down from the hyperion; they set up numerous automatic turrets and repaired the damaged herculean-Class Transports.

Mandalorian warriors, mostly in unified livery and carrying different weapons, were moving into their combat positions. The Kaili people, as auxiliary forces, had equipment slightly inferior to the Mandalorians but still much stronger than the Gungans.

Jon Krell, a General who held a very high position within the Death Watch since the Mandalore Civil War, skillfully commanded all combat units. However, this new equipment was being used in combat for the first time. After all, previous exercises were conducted on planetary surfaces, and it was uncertain if that prior experience would still be applicable.

"All units, move to your target points, according to the previous drills," Jon Krell ordered his four companies over the channel.

"Company A received."

"Company B received."

"Company C received."

"Morell Company received."

"Damn it, I said call it Company D! No Morell Company!" Jon Krell was very distressed with the Company Commander of Company D. After all, ground forces were currently numbered A, B, C, D. This numbering was suggested by Governor Kote, who said it looked more professional. But then he said they could call them whatever they wanted once the army was truly established, which left him helpless, as it was an order.

"Understood, Battalion Commander!" replied the Company Commander of Morell Company.

The Commander of the slowly advancing droid army saw the force field in the distance and preemptively ordered all B1 Battle Droids to be dispatched. Hundreds of thousands of B1 Battle Droids slowly rose, picking up their E-5 blaster rifles from their backs, ready to fire at any moment.

The Commander looked through his binoculars and saw the ray shield. "Advance, open fire as soon as you see the enemy!" he ordered the other droids.

"Understood, understood."

"Understood."

"Uh... but sir, can we win?" a B1 asked.

"Obey orders!"

"Alright then, understood, understood."

As they advanced, their flanks and rear suddenly came under unprecedented heavy attack. hurricanes, moving at high speed, burst out of the jungle behind them, launching missiles from their missile pods at the droid army.

However, due to the AAT's slow turning speed, it was difficult to deal with the speed of the hurricanes. MTTs could only attack forward, and only STAPs could match the hurricanes' speed, but they couldn't effectively deal with the hurricanes' armor. This led to a scene where a dozen STAPs chased a single hurricane.

While the droid army was still in chaos, a line of goliath robots met the droid army head-on.

"Prioritize destroying all tanks," the goliath robot captain commanded his squad members.

The goliath robots' ground-attack machine guns on their torsos spewed high-velocity armor-piercing rounds onto the frontal armor of tank after tank. With their high rate of fire, they could destroy an AAT in a few seconds, but even goliath robots could not withstand the attack of multiple AATs.

"Missile launch!" With the captain's shout, a volley of missiles from the goliath robots' missile pods fired simultaneously.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After a fierce explosion, the AATs became burning iron coffins.

The goliath robots, like unstoppable giants, destroyed all enemies attempting to block their path. MTTs tried to release more droids, but the Mandalorian air power was not to be underestimated; the hyperion in the sky continuously bombarded the ground.

Beams, missiles, blown-up B1 Battle Droids, and the armor of many more vehicles flew everywhere.

At least three to five AATs focused their fire on one goliath robot. Its leg was blown off, and it crashed to the ground, but in its last moments, it would unleash its missiles, taking out two enemy tanks.

Looking at the current situation, Jon Krell was very satisfied with the current battle damage.

"Company A, Company C, Kaili forces can move out."

Following Jon's order, the Kaili people's forces, like phantoms, wearing their masks, used various weapons to bombard the B1 Battle Droids ahead.

Having trained with the Mandalorians, these Kaili people also learned how to make explosions more powerful and how to initiate them.

The Kaili people, with their rapid movements, attached detonators to AATs and MTTs one by one.

As for the Gungans in the rear, they used their energy balls and launchers to attack the droid army. Volleys of energy balls struck from the rear, and the droid army's tanks were completely unable to hit these Gungans hiding behind the shield.

With the seamless cooperation of the three races, the droid army was now on its last legs.

"All units, now! Consolidate attack, spread out and eliminate all. Infantry eliminate all resistance. hyperion provide assistance!" With Jon's final order.

All races began their final assault, and the droid army even entertained thoughts of surrender.

"Governor Gunray, they have virtually annihilated our army!" The previous Commander droid had already been replaced by a B1 Battle Droid of unknown designation, reporting to Gunray.

Gunray at this point completely wanted to surrender, but he thought of Sidious's orders and the consequences of failure.

"Hold on for me! The navy is still in a stalemate with them. Once the navy wins, we can win!" Gunray encouraged the other party, as if comforting himself.

"Understood, underst—ah...!" Before he could finish, his mechanical head was shot off.

A Mandalorian walked over. "Governor Gunray, surrender soon. Governor Kote will treat you leniently."

"Damn it!" Gunray immediately cut off communications, but gunshots had already begun to ring out outside the Palace of Theed.

"As long as I capture the Queen and make her sign the treaty, everything will succeed!" Gunray thought of his last resort, but he prayed that Darth Maul could hold off the Jedi, so he could capture Queen Amidala, especially since Governor Kote had not appeared this time.
