Chapter 538: Death Sandstorm
At this time, Luke Skywalker was unaware of what was happening at home, and walked slowly on his way home.
He had just come out of the home of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi with two volunteer robots, R2-D2, who looked as cute as a moving trash can, and C-3PO, a ceremonial robot covered in gold like a bronze man in Shaolin Temple.
Halfway through, Luke encounters the Desert Crawler that sold him the robot before, and at this time the entire Desert Crawler has been destroyed, and there are countless Jawa corpses scattered around, which happen to be the same Jawa who sold R2-D2 and C-3PO to him.
"It was the Imperial Army who did it." Obi-Wan judged from the traces left at the scene: "Ordinary criminals don't have heavy weapons that can penetrate the armor of giant desert tracked vehicles. ”
"Why did the Imperial Army massacre the Javas?" Luke asked, puzzled.
He then looked at R2-D2 and C-3PO behind him, and immediately realized what was killing the Jawas.
"If they're tracking the robots here, they'll probably know who the robots are sold to, and they'll be leading the Imperial Army to the ······ My home! ”
Thinking of this, Luke ran away, and didn't even care about Obi-Wan and the two volunteer robots, got into the land boat he drove over, and hurried home.
"Wait, Luke! It's too dangerous! ”
Obi-Wan tried to dissuade him, but it was too late, and Luke flew back to his home at full speed in the landing boat, he didn't want his adoptive father and adoptive mother to suffer the same fate as the Jawa.
However, now his family's wet farm has long been in chaos, and after Qiao Lu appeared, a large number of imperial army reinforcements began to rush here, gradually surrounding the entire farm.
Thankfully, most of Owen's Wet Farm is underground, just like the Eskimo Snowroom, with only one roof above the ground, which is a natural shelter for Owen and his wife, Belle, to hide underground.
Qiao Lu asked 2B to stay and look after them, while he and Rogue One went to the ground to fight the Imperial Army.
A fierce offensive and defensive battle begins, and at least until Luke returns, Jolu can take them with him.
The Mandalorian was forced to join the fight, and he knew that with the Imperial Stormtroopers, he would kill everyone on the farm without saying anything, and he would have to side with Jolu in order to survive.
The explosive sniper rifle behind him showed extremely destructive power, and no matter which part it hit, the whole person was torn apart and shattered, leaving only the fragments of the armor on his body scattered to the ground, and the whole person seemed to be evaporated in an instant.
Explosive weapons are not useless, the weakness of the low rate of fire is not so obvious in sniper rifles that emphasize the power of a single shot, and the firing movement is not as loud as that of kinetic sniper rifles, just a biubiu sound.
However, he was not willing to fall into such a situation, and while looking for cover to fight side by side with Qiao Lu, he complained in a cold tone:
"It's not my job."
Qiao Lu casually threw him a piece of vibranium, and said with a slight smile: "Now it is." ”
It's not difficult to pull a bounty hunter onto a thief ship, as long as there is enough pay.
On the other hand, Baez, who was armed with a heavy submachine gun, began to exert his might, and in the desert area with a wide field of vision, such a heavy weapon was undoubtedly more conducive to play, and the blast beam poured out like splashing water, suppressing the desert stormtroopers behind them so that they could not raise their heads.
Chiru's ballista was precise and deadly, and the dust kicked up in the fierce battle had no effect on him, and every bullet hit the Desert Stormtroopers.
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that a sandstorm is coming.
However, the Imperial Army was still being reinforced, not only with a large number of Desert Stormtroopers riding wet-backed lizards, but also with a variety of heavy machines, including the AT series of walkers that appeared before, as well as heavy tracked tanks unique to desert areas.
No matter how convenient the anti-gravity device is, there is one problem that cannot be solved, that is, there is no way to stabilize the recoil of the artillery, and what you want to do must add additional thrusters to stabilize it, which greatly increases the cost.
Therefore, the armored forces of the empire still relied mainly on walking machines, as well as various tracked armored vehicles.
After these armored units joined the battlefield, the firepower of the Rogue One squad was a little weaker, even the Mandalorian's explosive sniper rifles could not penetrate the armor of the Imperial tanks, and it was really difficult to do without a special anti-vehicle laser cannon.
The Empire's armored forces quickly surrounded, and even the increasingly strong sandstorm did not stop their advance, but only caused their artillery to lose their accuracy slightly, and each shot on the ground lifted a large cloud of sand like a fountain, but further obscured the view.
A sandstorm hell scorched by artillery fire formed on the ground, and both sides of the war were covered in vast sand, and only the blast beams could be seen constantly flickering in the dust and mist, and they didn't know where to hit at all.
This kind of weather was undoubtedly more favorable to Qiao Lu's side, the open desert terrain was not conducive to the team's guerrilla attack, but when the sandstorm covered the battlefield and the visibility was less than ten meters, the situation was reversed.
At the same time, Qiao Lu released another of his weapons, and since there was no longer a need to pretend to be a Jedi, it was time for his Clearing Weapon to come in handy.
I saw a golden sword shuttling freely in the windy sandstorm, pulling a thin red thread through the chests of the desert stormtroopers, as if death had suddenly come to harvest their lives.
Even if you sit in a heavily armored tank, you can suddenly get a small hole in the compartment next to you, and then be unsuspectingly sentry through the temple and then through the co-pilot's head.
Sentinel arrows swept through the Imperial forces like ghosts in the fog with a sandstorm, and only a thin red line could be seen in the dust.
Gracefully piercing through the deadly parts of Imperial soldiers like embroidered flowers, and burrowing in and out of various armored vehicles, busy like little bees picking flowers.
No one could see what kind of weapon it was, and all that was caught with the naked eye was the red line drawn by the tail light of the sentry arrow, and the moment it was detected, it was already hit in the heart and fell to the ground.
If Darth Vader is present, he may be able to use the Force to capture the Sentry Arrow and immobilize it in mid-air.
It's a pity that this is just a group of Desert Stormtroopers who don't know what opponent they are up against, and it is predictable that they will be toyed with by the sentry arrows and applauded.
When the sandstorm clears, all that is left is the corpses of the Desert Stormtroopers, as well as unmanned armored vehicles.
Even the members of Rogue No. 1 didn't see what Qiao Lu was doing, only to hear the constant wails of the Imperial Stormtroopers in the dust, and then the wind and sand gradually dispersed, and everything was over.
