Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 700: Battle At Lorta

The Middle Rim of the Galaxy, formerly under the jurisdiction of the Nineteenth Army of the Republic, Lorta.

This Planet belonged to the Sith Empire Thousands of Years ago. It was a relatively remote Weapon Testing Base of the Sith Empire. It was later destroyed during the war, but some Industrial Facilities still remained.

In the following time, the Lortans on this Planet were still full of violence and expansion tendencies, and they were forced to submit to the Republic only by force.

The Lortan Civilization is a Race with Human Genes, but their Skin is Slightly Rougher, and they have the custom of tattooing their arms, and they are no different from Humans in other places.

However, even if the Lortan Civilization were not interested in the Republic when the Army of the Fourth Civilization began to land on Lorta, they still encountered Stubborn Resistance. The reason is very strange, even if the Lortan Civilization are the remnants of the Sith Empire, the Lortan Civilization on the contrary, wants to serve the Hutts and they always believed that the Hutt Empire would one day rise again and sweep the entire Galaxy.

In fact, if you dig deeper, you will find that many Lortans are engaged in Smuggling and Mercenary Work. Looking at the Smuggling Industry in the entire Galaxy, the Hutts say they are second, and no one dares to fight for the number one.

They are very martial, and they have a certain Industrial Foundation from the Sith Empire, so their Combat Effectiveness is extremely strong, and they even retain a Large Smuggling Fleet.

After the news that Javin was captured by the Fourth Civilization came, the Lortan Civilization, who realized that the situation was not good, flew out with their Smuggling Fleet. Soon, the Fleet of the Fourth Civilization arrived, and the Lortans refused to surrender, and Fierce Conflict broke out between the two sides.

At the same time, the Smuggling Fleet of the Lortan Civilization also began to scurry around the entire area under the jurisdiction of the former 19th Army, fighting Guerrilla Warfare and harassing the Supply Lines of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.

Just at this time, the Governor of the 18th Army, Wilhuff Tarkin, also approached the Lortan Civilization and began to help them secretly, quietly sending the urgently needed Supplies of the Guerrilla Fleet to support the continuous harassment of the Supply Lines of the Fourth Civilization.

For this kind of Battle, Sev'rance Tann simply dismissed it, and handed over all the work to her Adjutant Lin Nanyi, in the name of asking him to practice more, but in fact, she just didn't like this kind of fight.

On the contrary, Admiral Matt Horner worked hard, went to where there was a problem, and put out fires everywhere. Moreover, Lin Nanyi did not disappoint Severance Tann's cultivation of him, and also cooperated with Matt Horner to encircle the Guerrilla Fleet of the Lortan Civilization, forcing them out of Several Major Hyperspace Lanes to keep the Supply Line unobstructed.

However, the Lortan Civilizations Fleet's attacks were still non-stop, making it impossible for the Fourth Civilization to be free.

But the Battle on Lorta is also a muddy mess.

Lorta resisted resolutely, and the Fourth Civilization had to send a Squadron directly into the Outer Orbit of Lorta and Blockade the Planet. Although none of the Capital Warships of the Fourth Civilization have the ability to fight in the atmosphere, a Large Number of Wraith Starfighters and AH/G-24 Banshee Ground Fighters that took off from the Sova-class Carriers Bombed the Main Cities on Lorta.

This can be regarded as the last face for them. No Orbital Bombardment was carried out, but an ultimatum was still issued! Within 24 hours of Galactic Standard Time, they must surrender, otherwise every 3 hours, a City will be directly destroyed, from Small to Large.

Even after the ultimatum was issued, the Wraith Starfighters and the AH/G-24 Banshee Ground Fighters were still raging over the Main Cities of Lorta. After launching Shockwave Missiles, they continued to dive down and Bombard them with Pulse Lasers and Backlash Rockets.

The Air Force of Lorta was wiped out within 2 hours after the War started, and they were simply powerless to fight against the completely Invisible Wraith Starfighters and AH/G-24 Banshee Ground Fighters. But the Lortan Government still delayed until the last hour of the ultimatum before announcing their surrender.

However, after the Planetary Government surrendered, they told the Fourth Civilization that they had lost control of the Planet and that there might still be Rebels on Lorta, and hoped that the Fourth Civilization would send Troops to wipe them out.

However, after the Fourth Civilization Army started to land, it was discovered that the Lortan Civilization had already dispersed its Army in the Jungles and Suburbs of the Planet, breaking up its Army into separate pieces, and planning to fight Guerrilla Warfare with them for a long time. The reason why they surrendered was actually just because they were afraid of Orbital Bombardment.

Qi Jian, the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Civilization, immediately went to Tang Xiao's Governor's Office after hearing the news, hoping to obtain permission to carry out Orbital Bombardment on the Jungle Area of Lorta.

Tang Xiao sat at his desk and pondered for a while, then asked, "Now... how many Ewoks are there in our Army?"

Qi Jian was stunned momentarily, but he immediately replied: "Most of the Ewoks serve in the Engineering and Jungle Troops. Now there are about 40,000 Ewok Soldiers in our Army. Do you mean..."

"That's right. The Lortan Civilization seems to want to fight a Guerrilla War with us to delay time, right? It's okay, I'll play with them. Not only do I want to occupy Lorta, but I also want their Factories to run for me, their people to work for me as labour, their Farmland will be cultivated for me, I want their women to give birth for me, and they will all become Slaves of the Fourth Civilization for Future Generations!!!" Tang Xiao showed a Ferocious Smile on his Face, raised his hand and Clenched his Fist, "They want to turn their Planet into a Piece of Scorched Earth, get rid of it all, and make us suffer with infamy?! Don't even think about it!!"

Qi Jian snapped to attention, saluted, and said loudly: "Yes! Governor. I will reorganize the Ewok Soldiers and form a Suppression Force with the current 2 Ewok Mountain Brigades as the core, and go to Lorta to crush their Resistance!"

"Pull out those who want to resist stubbornly from the Jungle One, By, One! All the Family Members of the Soldiers who resisted will be taken into the Mines, regardless of Age or Gender!" Tang Xiao dropped these words coldly and waved his hand to signal Qi Jian to leave.

...

The AH/G-24 Banshee Ground Fighters roared and swooped down, activated the Cloaking Device in mid-air and disappeared without a trace, but some uncoordinated ripples could still be seen in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Dozens of Backlash Rockets were seen pouring down, exploding densely in front, clearing out a large open space. Immediately after, dozens of APOD-33 Dropships descended from the sky, landed on the ground, and the Hatches opened.

Huang Yehao held on to the handle next to the hatch and jumped off the Dropship before it came to a complete stop. Behind him, Dozens of Fourth Civilization Army Soldiers filed out. In the end, a Folded Odin Heavy Combat Walker was sent out by a Conveyor Belt. The Driver started the Engine, and the Odin Heavy Combat Walker stood up from the ground, with its arms spread out, and the Hellfire Missile Launchers on its shoulders were also ready.

"Steady our ground and build a Landing Field. Our Mission this time is not to drill into the forest, we are to cooperate with the Ewoks to fight!" Huang Yehao said loudly to his Teammates.

He only saw a few more Dropships flying down. These Dropships flew over the Jungle at Ultra-Low Altitude, Short Ewok Soldiers wearing Jungle Camouflage jumped directly One By One from the Dropships and disappeared into the Jungle.

Soon, there were Bursts of Gunshots in the originally Silent Jungle, but very dispersed and very finely divided.

Cummings the Sy Myrthian crawled to the side of Huang Yehao, and a Soldier beside him began to help him organize the Six-Barreled Machine Gun mounted on his back. He also looked at the Jungle and said, "This is the first time I have seen Ewoks fighting."

"What? What did you see?" Huang Yehao asked back.

"No, I can't see anything but Trees."
