While Stanton was out to deal with the Imperial soldiers, Joryu, 2B, and Genji left the ship, using the jungle as a cover, and headed straight for Tower Fort.

The Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force soldiers disguised as Imperial Stormtroopers also stepped off the ship and carried the cargo in the opposite direction from Jolu's departure.

Although they seem to be doing the opposite, they are actually working towards the same goal - to weaken the tower's defenses as much as possible, and to obtain the Death Star blueprints stored inside.

Unfortunately, along the way, Jolu discovers that Scarif's security seems to have become tighter.

In addition to the regular garrison, there were also elite units attached to the Imperial Military Intelligence Department.

The most conspicuous of these are the Death Troops in pure black armor, who are not only more sophisticated in their conventional weaponry, but also equipped with equipment such as electric staffs, ray shields, and electromagnetic armor specifically for lightsabers, which are obviously aimed at guarding against the Jedi.

Among these are the Imperial Inquisitors, who are subject to the Empire's Force users, armed with a red double-bladed spinning lightsaber to fight, and many of them have defected from the Jedi Order.

Their presence makes the operation even more difficult, and there is no doubt that the Empire has realized that the secrets of the Death Star have been exposed, and will not hesitate to invest their blood to ensure Scarif's safety.

What's more, due to the appearance of Qiao Lu, the Empire realized that the Jedi were not completely extinct, and once again began a new round of purges, so that the Death Force would be equipped with so much equipment against the Jedi.

Although Qiao Lu can still kill it, it is difficult to guarantee whether he can get it before the Death Star blueprint is destroyed.

For this reason, Jolu needed Stanton to lead an expeditionary force to distract the enemy's attention from the inside of the tower, so that he could get the blueprints of the Death Star as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, Stanton's Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force team disguised itself as the Imperial Stormtroopers to transport goods into the jungle, cleverly evading the sight of the guards, and all disappeared into the Scalif rainforest.

After making sure that there was no enemy vision around, Stanton ordered:

"Alright, change your attire, we're going to get ready for a big fuss!"

The soldiers of the expeditionary force immediately took off their white armor and opened the transported goods, and after removing the top layer of camouflage, all that was left was the weapons and equipment they had brought with them, such as heavy pulse rifles, Gauss rifles, particle cannons, quadruple rocket launchers, and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is the nano power armor of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, now this set of nano armor only needs to wear the energy core on the body, and the nano material can be adsorbed from the inside of the box through the magnetic levitation force field, and the dress will be automatically completed on the spot, which is like a transformation.

Re-equipping the armor they were familiar with gave these expeditionary soldiers a sudden boost in confidence, and if they really wanted to use the Imperial Stormtrooper equipment to fight, they would not be able to support it for too long, after all, the firepower was too limited.

Mounted the three-door quadruple rocket launcher behind him, picked up the heavy pulse rifle in his hand, and wore nano power armor, this is the standard configuration of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, compared to the individual equipment of the Imperial Stormtrooper, it can be described as extremely simple.

Of course, this is mainly due to the different equipment design concepts, the First Galactic Empire is a typical big ship and giant artillery doctrine, keen to create all kinds of decisive weapons, Star Destroyer and Death Star are typical examples, to fight for air supremacy in space warfare as the first priority.

Relatively speaking, the army has become an inferior person in the imperial military department, and the budget is prioritized for the development and construction of various ultimate weapons, and the rest is invested in the research and development of large armored units such as the AT series armored walkers, which can be said to be extremely despised for individual weapons.

Because of this, the Empire has developed a military tradition of treating human life as a matter of course, as an infantryman's weaponry is too cheap compared to weapons such as the AT armored walker, the Star Destroyer, or even the Death Star.

Even their lives are not irreplaceable, and the Empire can use the clone forces again if necessary, and countless soldiers can be quickly replenished if they lose as many soldiers, and human lives are even more worthless.

Although he is also interested in creating all kinds of super-sized industrial wonders, the concept of The Wandering Earth is actually very different from that of the First Galactic Empire.

The coalition government has never believed in the uselessness of the Army, and has never stopped developing individual weapons, even if it emphasizes collectivism, but it has never ignored the power of the individual.

Therefore, it may be difficult for the Wandering Earth to confront the Empire head-on in terms of space power for the time being, but now that it is on the ground, it is time for the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force to teach the Imperial Army a lesson!

"Fire!"

As Stanton gave an order on the communication channel, twelve bazookas were fired at the same time from the three quadruple rocket launchers behind each of the expeditionary soldiers, flying out of the woods like scattered flowers and spilling them over the various Imperial defense platforms.

The sudden barrage of rockets left the Imperial Army completely unprepared, and they were instantly blown up, several defenses were destroyed, and the detonated ammunition bay produced a chain reaction, forming a series of brilliant fireworks on Scarif.

What's more, this expeditionary force unit was also broken into pieces, playing guerrilla warfare with the Imperial army in the jungle to maximize the range of strikes.

Since each soldier of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force is a mobile arsenal, even if there is only one person, he can give the other party a wave of heavenly justice.

Twelve rockets came at the same time, and the Imperial Army did not dare to think that it was the fire of one person at all.

For a while, the alarm sounded everywhere that most of the enemy troops were attacked, which can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what it means to be a person is an army.

At this time, the director of the Death Star, Orson Krennic, was in the command room at the top of the tower castle to check all the messages sent by Galen Saul, when suddenly he saw one large fireball after another rising in the distance, almost like a carnival, like firecrackers for the Spring Festival.

He couldn't help but be stunned, this was the security center of the empire, how could it encounter such a large-scale attack, it seemed that it was even more powerful than the front line.

Orson then yelled at the Imperial personnel behind him who were also stunned with fright: "Are you blind? Send me a garrison right away! Sound the alarm and send out a distress signal! ”

Such horrific firepower in the first round made the Imperial Army seriously misjudge the extent of the attack, and in their opinion there were no tens of thousands of people, it was impossible to cause such large-scale destruction, and a large number of troops had to be sent for reinforcement.

In this way, Qiao Lu's purpose has been achieved!
