Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 14 Lockdown of Kosher and Supernatural Squad No. 99

Kosher Star.

An imperial fleet suddenly appeared from the void.

A commander-class star destroyer, 1600 meters long, pierced the hearts of the planet's administrators like a triangular dagger.

Surrounding them were three Hunter-class Star Destroyers stretching for a kilometer, eight cruisers, and even more frigates and landing ships.

A massive fleet, like a dark cloud blotting out the sky, loomed over the asteroid.

Those fat, big-eared managers who usually only exploited their slaves were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with terror and confusion.

Sirens blared almost simultaneously across the entire planet.

The supervisory team and the security team all picked up their weapons and stood ready for battle.

But their hands holding guns were trembling, and a hint of despair shone in their eyes.

The disparity in strength is enormous.

Before the intentions of this fleet were clear, no one dared to easily start a war.

On the bridge of the Commander-class Star Destroyer, Captain Tantway, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stood with his hands behind his back, chest out, staring disdainfully at the planet before him.

If he weren't on a mission, he wouldn't want to set foot on this filthy planet.

An adjutant stood respectfully behind him, head bowed.

"Captain, please give the order."

Tantvi waved his hand:

"In the name of capturing Jedi criminals, seal off the entire planet."

"Also, capture that guy, interrogate him to get detailed information about the Jedi, and then execute him immediately."

As long as it cannot be proven that the Jedi have left, the fleet can use this as a pretext to blockade the planet for one or two months.

Two months later, the Empire had already firmly grasped control of Kosher.

The adjutant saluted again and turned to carry out the captain's orders.

next moment.

The massive hatches on the flanks of numerous ships opened, and the clone gunship fighters flew rapidly toward Kosher like black bees.

At the same time, a message was broadcast to all the administrators on the planet:

The Empire has received reports that a traitorous Jedi is hiding in Kosher.

In order to apprehend the criminals, the planet will be completely sealed off.

Once we capture the Jedi, we will leave immediately.

I hope everyone will cooperate.

Those who resist are considered Jedi.

......

As Xanthi listened to the cold voice on the radio, he slumped into his chair, his mind blank and unable to process what he was hearing.

Before he could react, a transport plane had already landed on the tarmac.

The rear hatch opened, and a squad of soldiers in white armor emerged and went straight to his office.

"Xanthos, come with us."

Faced with more than a dozen gun barrels, Xanthos immediately raised his hands and his legs went weak.

He swallowed hard, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.

This was a reward he had never expected.

The generous reward vanished, and now they've lost everything.

Even... one's own life.

......

Salukamai Star.

Lance was carrying Gugu, with R2 following behind them, and the group was traveling through the dense forest.

Whenever Imperial reconnaissance planes flew overhead, they would hide under the thick plants.

"This is the third batch..."

Lance raised an eyebrow, looked up at the reconnaissance plane flying past, and secretly rejoiced that he had sunk his fighter jet to the bottom of the lake in time.

After daybreak, they left the cave and continued their journey, which has now been nearly three hours.

On average, a roaring sound can be heard in the sky every hour.

"Something's not right; the patrol frequency is much higher than yesterday."

He lowered his head in deep thought.

"Could it be... that the Empire has discovered our warplanes that sank in the lake?"

Lance shook his head, rejecting the conjecture.

"It certainly won't be that fast."

"It's likely that the Empire detected the fighter jets when they approached Salukama, which aroused their suspicion and led them to increase the density of reconnaissance."

Unless the Empire finds an opportunity to strike, it cannot pinpoint their exact location.

This planet is one or two times the size of Earth, so finding them would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

But they really need to speed things up.

Lance recalled the shadow he sensed from the Force during his meditation last night.

A sense of urgency weighed on his heart. After confirming that the reconnaissance plane had flown far away, he immediately stepped out of the shadows and quickened his pace.

The sun in the sky gradually slanted westward from its zenith.

Before nightfall, Lance found another cave and easily dealt with the wild beasts inside.

He meditated all night again, and the same thing happened on the third night.

At this moment, he felt very strange. His strength was slowly increasing, but his spirit was becoming more and more exhausted.

After daybreak, the group set off again, and after traveling for most of the day, they saw a wisp of smoke rising from afar.

Lance made R2 open the holographic map.

A blue dotted line marks their route, which is less than ten kilometers from the spaceport.

"If all goes well, we should arrive tonight."

but......

He looked at his attire: Jedi robes, apprentice braids, and a robotic astronaut following behind him.

It's so distinctive.

They had to disguise themselves so that they wouldn't be easily recognized once they blended into the city.

Lance looked up into the distance, and an idea arose in his mind.

"There's no other way... I'll just have to be a thief this once."

He continued walking, and after nearly half an hour, he could vaguely see a farmhouse.

Lance crouched behind a boulder, picked up his binoculars, and looked ahead.

After autofocusing, the field of view is clearly visible.

Outside the house, there were large fields of alien crops.

The straight, brownish-brown stem, topped with round, light-gold fruits, looks just like a sunflower with a light-gold basketball on its head.

My gaze shifted forward and landed on the small courtyard.

The classic round roof is surrounded by a metal mesh that is two or three meters high, enclosing the entire courtyard.

An insect landed on the net, immediately emitted a wisp of black smoke, and fell straight to the ground.

This is the power grid.

But that little height didn't stop him at all; he could easily flip over with just one jump.

Suddenly, two children from Tirek ran out of the house and started playing football in the yard.

Laughter drifted through the protective netting and the fields, reaching his ears.

"Eeya!"

Gu Gu immediately became excited, holding the metal ball he had taken from the fighter jet in one hand and reaching out with the other.

Lance shook his head slightly and continued to observe.

At that moment, a purple-skinned Tirek woman stood in the doorway and waved to the two children.

The two children dropped the ball and ran into the house.

After scouting the location, Lance put down his binoculars and made an assessment:

This one is not a good place to go.

He wasn't confident he could steal a few clothes without alerting the homeowner.

Especially since this family has two children.

Children will be the biggest variable.

Just as Lance was about to get up and leave, he caught a glimpse of an Omega-class attack shuttle rapidly approaching them from the horizon.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bent down.

A moment later, the shuttle landed on an open space next to the farmland.

The hatch closed, and four clone soldiers stepped out.

However, their attire differed from that of ordinary clones.

Apart from the tactical backpacks on their backs, their armor was entirely black, with a thick red stripe painted on their shoulders and arms.

He zoomed in, focusing on the faces of the people.

The leading soldier had medium-length hair, a red headband, and camouflage paint on his face.

Behind him were three people: a bespectacled man with a buzz cut, a bald man with a mechanical arm, and another burly bald man.

The group stood still, but all turned their heads to look at the cabin door.

Lance followed their gaze and moved his binoculars.

A girl with short, light blonde hair stood at the doorway, her hair neatly combed back, with a silver chain ornament hanging from her forehead.

She slowly walked off the spaceship, then suddenly knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil.

Lance watched this scene from a distance, quickly recalling the clone army that matched it.

A moment later, a familiar yet unfamiliar name flashed through my mind.

"Different Squad, Number 99".

He had seen them once on the battlefield.

This is a special forces unit, with only a few members, each possessing unique talents.

He made many contributions on the battlefield, but his fame remained obscure.

"And who is that little girl?"
