Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 44 Riding a Hitchhikkhu, Revis of the Root Generation

"R2, open the star map."

"Beep".

The R2 electronic eye emits a holographic projection.

Komenor is located at the bottom of square N-10 on a standard Milky Way star map.

They are located in the middle of square N-11, and hyperspace will only take about five hours.

"Hopefully, it's not too late."

Lance set the coordinates and immediately initiated the hyperspace jump.

......

Five and a half hours later.

A spaceship suddenly appeared near the Komenor star system.

Lance didn't dare to delay and steered the shuttle straight towards the ground.

The spacecraft entered the atmosphere and passed through the clouds. The Deep Space Bay spaceport below looked as small as a building block.

As the altitude decreased, the spaceport rapidly expanded.

Transport ships were constantly taking off and landing, creating a bustling scene.

Lance parked the shuttle at the airport and, together with Ahsoka and R2, quietly made their way to the designated Imperial military zone.

"Takeoff in fifteen minutes."

The two men hid atop a maintenance tower several hundred meters away.

"Three entrances to Zone D have been sealed off; only the maintenance access road remains open."

The communicator rang, and R2's electronic voice came through.

This is the intelligence it intercepted after hacking into the system terminal.

Lance picked up his binoculars and saw several squads of Imperial soldiers patrolling near the maintenance area.

His gaze was fixed on the patrol routes of the soldiers.

The first team passed by.

The second team took over.

Then the third team appeared.

The three patrol teams form a loop.

After observing number theory, Lance slowly began to speak:

"Three seconds."

Ahsoka turned to look at him:

"What?"

There is a three-second gap during the shift change.

Lance pointed to the distant passage:

"The first team has left, the second team has turned around, and the third team has not yet arrived."

"This is the time for us to cross over."

Three seconds, in the blink of an eye.

But that was enough to get them through the first line of defense.

"It's time to go."

The two quietly left the top of the tower and quickly slid down the outer wall of the maintenance tower.

It immediately disappeared into the shadows after landing.

Using cargo containers and machinery as cover, they approached their destination silently.

When we were still a few dozen meters away from the maintenance access road, the first patrol team came towards us.

The two squatted down at the same time.

The sound of soldiers' footsteps grew louder as they approached, then gradually faded away.

Lance waved to Ahsoka and R2.

The group quickly rushed out of their cover.

The first group of soldiers had just turned the corner.

The second team has not yet come into view.

In a three-second gap, the two men and R2 sped into the maintenance passage.

Just then.

Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps sounded in my ears; a patrol team had returned ahead of schedule.

Ahsoka's expression changed slightly.

The straight-line distance between the two sides is less than ten meters.

A few seconds later, the two will inevitably collide.

Lance calmed down and pointed to the top of his head.

Ahsoka understood and immediately jumped up, spreading his arms and pressing his body against the ceiling.

Lance did as instructed, but instead extended a hand and used the Force to lift R2 up.

The next second, a group of Imperial soldiers wearing white armor appeared below.

Everyone held their breath, watching nervously as they slowly walked past.

Only after the patrol team had completely disappeared around the corner did Asoka slowly exhale.

They jumped down immediately.

It landed silently.

The last soldier on patrol seemed to sense something and paused.

He turned around and looked behind him.

He turned to look at his teammates who were walking further and further away, shook his head slightly, and quickly caught up.

Lance and his group walked out of the maintenance passage and continued towards the Imperial ship docking area.

"All personnel, board immediately; takeoff is imminent."

An alarm suddenly sounded in my ears.

They quickened their pace.

In the last few seconds, they sneaked into the spaceship through the cargo hold connection at the stern and quickly hid.

The ship shuddered slightly as the propulsion system activated.

A few seconds later, the engine roared louder and louder.

The ship slowly rose into the air, broke through the atmosphere, and suddenly disappeared into the starry sky.

......

After a few hours,

The Imperial fleet slowly landed at the military port of the planet Katonemoydia.

As the ship trembled slightly, the engines gradually shut off.

Inside the spaceship, Lance, Ahsoka, and R2 hid in a narrow corner crevice.

Footsteps could be heard outside, followed by an officer's command.

"The first batch of equipment has begun unloading and will be immediately sent to the designated location."

"Understood, sir."

A series of rapid footsteps sounded and then gradually faded into the distance.

Lance only poked his head out when there was absolutely no more movement.

The cargo door was open, and several Imperial soldiers stood guard outside, while several transport robots were moving goods.

Ahsoka looked at him without speaking, but they could understand each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

action.

Using the cargo box as cover, the two quickly left their hiding place.

As he approached the door, Lance used the Force to move objects in the distance.

Clang.

The sound attracted their attention.

One of them left his post and went to check.

Lance and the others took the opportunity to escape from the cargo hold.

Throughout the journey, the two continuously used the cargo to conceal their presence.

Nearly half an hour later, they successfully escaped the military port.

"Let's go. If we follow the Empire's trail, we should be able to find Master."

Lance vaguely sensed his master's location through the Force bond.

The two entered the lower levels of the city.

This place is far more chaotic and dirty than the surface.

The overhead pipes crisscrossed, and the air was filled with the stench of sewage.

The image of Master Procon appeared prominently on the holographic screen on the building's exterior wall.

The loudspeaker was continuously broadcasting announcements about the capture of imperial criminals, along with generous rewards.

Ahsoka stared at the holographic screen, his breathing erratic, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Lance sensed her change in mood and gently placed his hand on her shoulder:

"Don't worry, I can sense that Master is safe for the time being."

"We will definitely be able to rescue him in front of the Empire."

Ahsoka looked up at him and nodded emphatically.

The three continued deeper, walking through the seventh block.

The area was even more dilapidated, with several burning robots lying on the ground, suggesting a fierce battle had taken place.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of worry in their eyes.

Lance lowered his eyes, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the primal force in the area, trying to find traces left by his master.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head slightly.

There is no force disturbance.

This means that no one is using the Force.

It's probably not Master Prokong.

The Force spread outwards once again.

At first there was nothing.

But soon.

He felt a strong emotion.

Anger, hatred, and... hostility.

Something was staring at him.

Getting closer.

Like a wild beast about to pounce on its prey with its sharp teeth and claws.

Lance suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the end of the street.

A tall, blurry figure emerged from the shadows and strode out.

The man was 2.45 meters tall, wearing worn-out metal armor, and holding a long-handled iron hammer.

What's most striking are those eyes, filled with resentment.

He stared intently at Lance and Ahsoka, as if they were his longtime mortal enemies.

"I didn't expect you guys weren't all dead yet."

A deep voice slowly rose.

Lance and Ahsoka frowned, both confirming that they had never seen this person before.

Revis, a Gendai, grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

"Jedi".

"I could smell the stench on you from far away."

"Thousands of years have passed, and nothing has changed."
