After Qiao Lu and Optimus Prime agreed on the operation of the Ark, he found General Zhang Zhezhong, who was in charge of commanding the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force on the ship, and discussed with him the actions after landing on the planet Scariv.

"I need a team of soldiers to land in Scarif with me disguised as the Imperial Stormtrooper on a cargo shuttle so that the number on board is matched, and while I steal the Death Star blueprints, they need to create a disturbance outside to distract the Imperial Army."

"It's not an easy task." After listening to Qiao Lu's plan, Zhang Zhezhong said, "This army will be under siege, and if necessary, it will be cut off as an outcast." ”

Qiao Lu knew that this was a cruel order, since ancient times, luring the enemy and breaking off the queen are the most dangerous tasks, basically you have to be mentally prepared for death and life, not to mention that this time it is both.

"There is no victory without sacrifice." Qiao Lu said Optimus Prime's famous words, "I hope to get them all back safely, but if you blindly seek perfection, you will only achieve nothing." ”

Jolu couldn't predict how the Imperial army would resist Scarif either, and he was risking his life.

But in order to secure this crucial Death Star blueprint, it is impossible to do so without a little sacrifice.

Zhang Zhezhong looked at Qiao Lu's firm expression, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are becoming more and more like a commander who gives orders." ”

"I just knew I had no way out." Qiao Lu replied.

Although this is a dangerous mission of life and death, there is no shortage of soldiers who have the courage to take on the responsibility on the wandering earth.

After Qiao Lu decided on the course of action, Colonel Stanton, Zhang Zhezhong's adjutant on the side, took a step forward and volunteered:

"Director Qiaolu, please let me lead the team to follow you to land in Scarif to participate in the operation!"

Qiao Lu had a relationship with the American officer on the Resident Evil plane, but he didn't expect that this time he would offer to follow him on a mission.

Qiao Lu asked him solemnly: "You have already heard what we said next to you, this is almost a mission to die, you have to be the bait and the queen at the same time, there is no way to ensure that you will definitely come back." ”

Stanton nodded solemnly and said, "Since we have sacrificed so many people for the survival of human civilization, how can there be one more of me?" ”

"Let him go, Jolly." Zhang Zhezhong lowered his head and said, "If I were his age, I would make the same choice as him." ”

"Thank you for your teaching, General Zhang." Stanton said with a standard military salute to Zhang Zhezhong.

Qiao Lu sighed helplessly, "Okay, you pick a team to enter Scarif with me in a cargo spaceship." I can't guarantee that each of you will survive, but people will always remember your name. ”

"Thank you."

On the Ark, the Engineers repaired the damaged parts of the cargo ship's hull, cleaned the corpses from the cabins, and removed the Stormtroo's equipment from the corpses, reassembled them, and handed them to the Expeditionary Force soldiers preparing to land in Scarif.

Thanks to the Wandering Earth's powerful nano-repair technology, these white armors that have been cut by lightsabers or pierced by the reflected blast beam can be repaired intact, and it is impossible to tell that they have been removed from the corpse.

Stanton led an elite expeditionary force team to don the Stormtroopers' gear and disguise themselves as the original crew of the Imperial cargo ship, ready to enter Scariv.

Qiao Lu, 2B, and Genji did not disguise themselves, after all, the Death Star blueprint is a top-secret document belonging to the Empire, and even if they pretend to be Imperial personnel, they must go through many checkpoints and multiple interrogations before they can pass.

Rather than being interrogated by the other party to reveal the stuffing, it is better to travel lightly at the beginning and sneak in completely unseen along the way.

When everything was ready, everyone boarded the ship and set off for Scarif's shield gate to begin Operation Trojan Horse of Star Wars.

The cargo ship gradually approached Scarif and saw the blue planet, which was mostly covered in oceans.

The planet's shield force field wraps it tightly, and even communication is limited by the force field, once the shield is completely sealed, the communication inside will be completely cut off from the outside world.

This is a dangerous operation that will not have outside support for a long time, so Qiao Lu will say that this is a life and death, especially for the Stanton team who acted as bait.

"Today is a good day to die." Stanton muttered as he looked at the idyllic planet from above the orbit.

The cargo ship came to the location of the Scarif shield gate, where there were even three Imperial-class Star Destroyers guarding in a triangular formation.

They are mainly to buy time for the shield to close, as long as the planetary shield force field is completely closed, even breaking the gate will not cause the shield to gap.

"Alright, let's get moving." Qiao Lu announced, and then he hid in the cabin.

Stanton, pretending to be the head of the spaceship, contacted the staff at the shield gate and said, "Cargo shuttle SW-0576, apply for landing platform." ”

After a long time, the other party replied, "SW-0576, approved for Landing Platform 7." ”

The shield gates slowly opened in front of everyone, and the first step of the operation was finally completed.

Stanton piloted the cargo ship through the planet's shield force field and into Scarif's atmosphere.

In the process of flying high in the sky, a strange building came into view, which was like a tower and a fortress at the same time.

Not only is the surrounding area heavily guarded, but the building is also covered with dense fortifications, which is quite similar to the Shanghai fortress on the wandering earth.

According to the Rebel Alliance, it is Scarif's iconic building, the Tower Fort, which houses all the archives of the Empire's military buildings, and undoubtedly the blueprints of the Death Star.

"The landing gear is locked, ready to land."

The cargo ship lowered its landing gear and landed on Landing Platform 7 in Scarif where a group of Imperial soldiers approached and demanded to come on board to inspect the cargo.

Of course, Qiao Lu couldn't let them see it, and prepared to leave from the cargo ship, but before leaving, he explained to Stanton:

"Next, we will find a way to enter the tower fort, you find a way to set up an ambush to lure the enemy away from the opposite direction, if we succeed in diverting the number of guards to a certain extent, I will directly kill all the way in, get the blueprint back as quickly as possible, and evacuate with you."

"Don't worry, I'll force them to concentrate all their energy on us." Stanton swore an oath.

The Battle of Scarif officially begins at this moment!
