Chapter 745: The War Raging In The Sky
Gardulla seemed to understand a little, "Yes! Didn't Aruk say that as long as I cut off foreign aid, he could let me truly control Tatooine? I can ask him for money and things. Since he said it, he must give it to me, otherwise he will break his promise!"
Darth Malthael said: "That's right. Next, the Scourge Legion will occupy the rubbish ruins of Mos Espa Spaceport, and you will let Aruk Besadii keep sending people, money, and supplies to fill this bottomless pit. As for the Desilijic Family, I have my own arrangements.'
"Yes... I will do it." Gardulla said respectfully.
…
In Hutt Space, the fire ignited by Atlas Security began to become more and more intense.
Just like the fire behind it when Darth Malthael went to Tatooine 13 years ago.
The fire on Tatooine allowed the Fourth Civilization to control Tatooine for ten years through Gardulla Besadii and also received a lot of help from Arok Besadii.
During those ten years, weapons and other contraband of the Fourth Civilization were sold to various parts of the Galaxy through Tatooine's Smuggling Channels. At the same time, the Fourth Civilization's smugglers smuggled many commodities, including Spice, and earned the price difference as middlemen.
This aspect of the Smuggling Trade alone has allowed the Fourth Civilization to make a lot of money. At least one-third of the Fourth Civilization's Fleet was obtained through these Smuggling Trades.
And now, Darth Malthael lit a second fire, this time burning the entirety of Hutt Space!
He ignited the war between the two most Prominent Families of the Hutts, the Desilijics and the Besadiis!
The Hutts also have powerful characters like Jabba, Jiliac, Arok, and Aruk. They do not want Hutt Space to fall into chaos and have taken many countermeasures...
But similarly, there are many fools among the Hutts, such as Gardulla, Zorba, and Ziro. They are short-sighted and see only immediate interests, or they are blinded by generations' hatred, which makes them become. He added fuel to the fire, burning the flame significantly and brighter.
In addition, several other Prominent Families, including the powerful Hutts such as Oruba and Marlo, also chose to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. They had no intention of putting out this fire.
The Desilijic Family was divided due to the return of the Former patriarch, Zorba Desilijic, and Ziro's return to the core of the Family's power. Jabba and Jiliac parted ways with Zorba and the others. It's just that, division; they act independently, but the Family's business has not been affected much, at least not in a short period of time.
With the support of Atlas Security, Zorba led the Desilijic Family to attack the properties of the Besadii Family madly. Aruk also refused to give in, and the two sides fought fiercely on many Planets.
On Tatooine, Gardulla Besadii suddenly broke with the Scourge Legion, and the two sides were at war. The Scourge Legion also directly occupied the Spaceport of Mos Espa, which had been destroyed by the war, with great fanfare and fought against Gardulla, who was entrenched in the City of Mos Eisley.
The Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems were fighting to the death in the Galaxy, and the Hutt Space was finally bustling.
…
When Hutt Space began to be chaotic, the war in the Galaxy outside did not stop at all.
Although there has not been much movement in the Western Theater of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, where the Fourth Civilization is located, General Grievous once again demonstrated his Military Talent during this period.
As he promised Count Dooku, he would prove his worth elsewhere after losing the Malevolence Subjugator-class Super Battleship.
He first suddenly attacked the Headquarters of the 8th Army of the Galactic Republic, Ord Mantell, destroying the Outer Defense Positions of the Republic's Local Garrison and leveling several Small Towns.
This caused the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic to make a misjudgment and send Troops to reinforce Ord Mantell, but they failed.
General Grievous's Fleet, which was ambushed elsewhere, suddenly set off and launched attacks on Anoth and Bakura simultaneously. First, it defeated the Galactic Republic's Fleet in the Space Battle on Anoth. Then, the Army pressed directly against Bakura.
The Republic urgently mobilized Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Bakura for reinforcements. General Grievous personally went to the battlefield to command the operation. The two sides launched a fierce land battle on Bakura.
However, a mutiny broke out suddenly when the Ruling Government of Bakura was halfway through the battle. The Rebels joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, leaving Bakura facing a Civil War at the same time.
Under such circumstances, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker's Armies suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.
As a result, General Grievous's offensive became more fierce. In the entire month of September 22BBY, he won 6 consecutive battles, directly tearing apart the Defense Line of the Northern Theater of the Galactic Republic like a bolt of lightning. Under his command, the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was ruthless and swift, and the Galactic Republic was once again defeated.
General Grievous's large-scale raid directly opened the Hyperspace Lane from Kessel to Mon Calamari. It is equivalent to fighting from the upper right corner of the Star Map all the way to the bottom. The flames of the entire Large-Scale Battle almost spanned half of the Galaxy!
It was not until the end that General Grievous stopped because the Lucrehulk-class Battleships in his hands suffered heavy losses, and the Army's Equipment could not meet the requirements of the campaign. Otherwise, according to his original plan, he even wanted to penetrate the jurisdiction of the 18th Army of the Republic and then join forces with the Fourth Civilization on Bespin.
It would become a war that spanned the entire Galaxy!
But even so, General Grievous's outstanding Battle Command also caused great panic in the Galactic Republic. Under his command, the Droid Army was simply unstoppable, and its influence was more significant than that of Sev'rance Tann's raid on the Sarapin!
Count Dooku, who was very satisfied with the outcome of this battle, finally put aside his distrust of General Grievous and began to prepare for the next wave of offensive against the Galactic Republic.
Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who were defeated in this battle, did not stop. They immediately received orders to go to Jabiim to end the Civil War on that Planet and ensure the Planet's return to the Republic's embrace.
But they didn't know that what was waiting for them on Jabiim was another hell.
