At this moment, Dooku had long heard the commotion outside, but he didn't dare to go out, fearing that the enraged Wookiees would capture him.
He stealthily moved towards the shuttle he had prepared earlier, but at this moment, the Banshee bomber, called from the sky, disengaged its stealth. Over a dozen air-to-ground missiles were fired simultaneously, directly destroying the Trade Federation's droid factory and its command center, then swiftly departing. As the command center was destroyed, the droid troops advancing on the front lines completely ceased operation.
One second, the Vulture Droid was directly confronting the viking fighter in the air; the next second, it fell straight down into the droid troops on the ground. However, no droid expressed dissatisfaction.
Because they had already stopped operating simultaneously with the Vulture Droid.
"Owa?" Chewbacca was puzzled as to why they had all suddenly stopped moving.
"It must be that the control center has been bombed by Kote's people, so these iron lumps without their own consciousness have shut down," Great Master Qui-Gon tapped the B1 Battle Droid's head.
And Dooku, under the missile bombardment, miraculously survived, but he was still on the verge of tears.
Because the only shuttle he had to escape this planet was the first to be destroyed by the missile strike!
"Why, why is it that nothing good ever happens when I encounter Mandalorians!" Dooku shouted in the sea of fire.
At this moment, Kote's squad, having completed their bombing, returned to check for any stragglers, while Obi-Wan led the Wookiees back to the camp. But it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
"What did you say?" Kote's voice, like a ghost, suddenly sounded behind Dooku.
Dooku didn't dare to turn around, only feeling that it was his illusion. "Hahahaha, how could the wise and mighty Governor Kote appear here? I must be suffering from heatstroke."
"Illusion my foot," Kote kicked Dooku down. "Men, take him away and hand him over to Chewbacca and his people."
Dooku, caught by Kote again, was numb. He hadn't expected that even after becoming a General, he would still be captured by Kote. Wasn't this all for nothing? However, he still had to concede. "Governor, we are old friends. This time, please let me go for ten million. I just became a General and already lost a battle; Governor Gunray will really kill me!" Dooku wailed as two Mandalorians dragged him away.
Kote paid no attention, and Dooku continued to wail, "Great Governor, I just got promoted and haven't even started making money yet. I'll give you my twenty million in savings, just let me go! The Wookiees will beat me to death!"
Kote ordered someone to knock Dooku unconscious. He was such a big fellow; dragging him while listening to his wailing was too much. He needed to experience what baby-like sleep was.
At the front lines of the battlefield, the Mandalorians and Wookiees were cleaning up, preparing to convert all useful and useless items into credits. Although the B1 Battle Droid wasn't valuable, on Vadiel, it was a universal droid. As long as its System was reconfigured into the desired mode, it could be re-employed in various industries, serving the people of Vadiel.
So, hercules-class transports were called in, stacking B1 Battle Droids and their 0x9 labor droids into the hyperion's warehouse, ship by ship. The Wookiees, in turn, exchanged these droids with the Mandalorians for supplies or credits.
The cooperation between the two races had been very friendly. The Mandalorians also liked the Wookiees very much, and the Wookiees were very fond of these 'little cans,' especially since they had helped them reclaim their colony.
At this moment, Attikook was drafting a cooperation agreement with the Mandalorians, specifically allowing Free Mandalore to invest in mining on Alaris and to engage in deeper cooperation with Free Mandalore, such as establishing a starport.
When Kote returned with General Dooku, the Wookiees were very happy. Some even wanted to tie Dooku to a tree for target practice, but Chewbacca stopped them. This was their evidence against the Trade Federation and the Republic Council. Kote completely ignored these matters, letting the Wookiees handle the rest. His current task was to sign the agreement.
Walking into the tent, Attikook, who had recovered considerably, first thanked Kote. He deeply trusted a person like Kote, so he handed over the drafted cooperation agreement. Kote quickly scanned it and directly signed his name, signifying a perfect cooperation between Mandalore and Kashyyyk, where both sides obtained what they desired.
With the agreement signed, Kote began to gather SCVs on Alaris to search for Ore veins and establish mining facilities and their associated starport. Within this starport, only hercules-class transports could be built for transporting Ore.
And while Qui-Gon was helping the Wookiees establish their colony, Obi-Wan approached Kote. He wanted to use Kote's power to prove that his partner showed no signs of falling to the Dark Side.
"Come on, a long-awaited evenly matched fight!" Kote took out his dark saber hilt from his belt, ignited it, and held the hilt flat across his chest, striking a Move.
"Then let me see if you've improved!" Obi-Wan also took out his hilt, ignited his blue lightsaber, and adopted the standard Soresu lightsaber form.
Kote attacked first, a strike from the side aimed at Obi-Wan's head. Obi-Wan instantly blocked it, but in that instant, Kote delivered a kick.
Obi-Wan grunted, forcefully pushing the dark saber down towards Kote, but Kote instantly retracted the dark saber, causing Obi-Wan to miss. Kote still attacked from above, but these were all feints, using wrist strength to change the attack downwards, making it difficult for Obi-Wan to parry.
He retreated sharply, leaping onto a tree. Kote followed closely, but Obi-Wan, using The Force, continuously attacked Kote with small objects to destabilize his balance. Annoyed by the constant harassment, Kote directly snapped the branch Obi-Wan was on with one hand.
Fortunately, Obi-Wan felt The Force coming and quickly inserted his lightsaber into the tree, slowly descending. Kote jumped down from the tree, first directly kicking Obi-Wan away, then using The Force to snatch Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
"How about that? I won, didn't I?" Kote said, smiling while holding Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
"Is that so? Look above you," Obi-Wan pointed to the chopped tree falling from above.
With a crash, smoke billowed. Kote couldn't find Obi-Wan's whereabouts until Obi-Wan directly pounced on Kote, snatching back his lightsaber and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Kote. "This time, I went back and trained my close-quarters combat well!" Obi-Wan threw a punch, and Kote quickly dodged.
"Is that so!" Kote directly picked up Obi-Wan from below and lifted him. "But my strength is also increasing, you know."
"Whoa!" Kote directly started swinging Obi-Wan around like a giant windmill and then threw him.
"Let me show you the new Move I've learned, Obi-Wan!" Kote controlled with both hands, directly creating a visible Force Storm from the ground.
"This! I surrender!" Obi-Wan had to admit defeat, seeing Kote unleash such a powerful attack. Was this a stat-monster? Invincible!
Kote had already mastered the power of the Force Storm freely while on the ship, and then he dispersed the storm.
"By the way, will the Wookiees or Great Master Qui-Gon scold us for making such a ruckus?" Kote looked at the considerable commotion they had caused.
Obi-Wan also suddenly felt something was off, and then both of them were taken by Great Master Qui-Gon for a lecture, who also commented on their strengths and weaknesses. But the Wookiees had no objections; they would just replant the trees later.
