Star Wars: The Holy Empire

Chapter 90: Taking.....(Title At End)

"Query: Master, what brings you here?" asked HK-47

"I am here to inspect the troops." I said "I want to see how much my army and the Naboo Security Force have improved. Tell me how has the training been going?"

"Answer: The Droid Army is showing massive improvement compared to the time before me training, Master." said HK-47 "And thanks to you upgrading them, their motor abilities have improve and their cognitive thinking is better and now they aren't idiotic pieces of junks. They are now useful pieces of junk."

"I see, and the Naboo Security Force?" I asked

"Answer: The meatbags have slightly improved but they are still practically worthless." said HK-47 "Statement: If I wanted to, I could take control of this town and annihilate all of the enemy in less than an hour with probably only 15% casualties on our side but I know how little troops we have so I decided to plan for the future practice and try out strategies that will prevent our troops from being destroyed and with us not having any casualties."

"That is a good idea, since we don't have a large army or any factories to produce battle droids for us at the moment, we need to prevent our army from losing any troops." I said "But I do have a plan to get us a factory that will produce armies for us for in the future."

"Statement: That is excellent, Master." said HK-47 "Suggestion: We should build an army of HK Droids. That way the Droid Army will become the mightiest and perfect army of your Empire."

"Uh...I will have to think about it." I said not giving HK an answer

'The idea of creating an army of HK Droids isn't a bad idea. This army would probably give my enemies, a fright but give me, a headache.' I thought ' An army of HK droids would look awesome and badass but it would be a giant headache if they all have HK-47's weird personality traits, but I could probably give the HK army a less headache inducing like personality with my [Mechu-deru] powers.'

"Query: Would you like to personally take command of the Army, Master?" asked HK-47

"Sure, I will take command." I said

'This will be good practice for me when I command my armies in actual warfare in the future' I thought 'The only kind of practice I had at commanding an army was when I played the <Total War> game series and <Star Wars: Empire at War> game but a game and real life will be entirely different from each other.'

HK took out a Holoprojector Map of the town and the surrounding area.

"Statement: The town has been surrounded. Thanks to Thermal Scans, we have located the enemy forces, which are divided into 50 squads with 10 men in each squad for a total of 500 enemy troops. The 50 squads are hiding in 50 different buildings but they choose buildings near each other so they can help each other if one of them is attacked" said HK-47 "They also have ambush sites set up at all four entrances into the town."

"I see" I said as I studied the HoloMap. "Do we have any Sheathipede-class transport shuttle on the Lucrehulks?"

HK-47 checks his Holopad.

"Answer: We have a total of 12 transport shuttles" said HK-47

"Also do we have any blueprints of the sewage system of the town?" I asked

"Answer: We do not but it shouldn't be too hard to get them." said HK-47

HK-47 then points to a nearby B1 Battle Droid

"Command: You get us the blueprints of the sewage system of this town." said HK-47 "You have two minutes or else you will face my wrath."

"Roger, Roger" said the B1 in a scared voice

The B1 then runs off in a hurry but then trips but gets up quickly and continues to run. The scared Droid then runs into a tent which seems is being used as a temporary Command Center. As I look into the entrance way of the tent, I can spot a bunch of devices inside.

"What did you do to make the Battle Droids so scared of you?" I asked

"Statement: I did nothing, Master. I just gave these worthless pieces of junk some great training and gave them a little motivation and incentive to make them better killing machines of war, hehehehehe." said HK-47

"Well, whatever then. As long as the Battle Droids get trained and become the perfect soldiers." I said ignoring HK-47's evil laugh. "Just don't get any of them destroyed with your training methods."

"Statement: Of course, I would never destroy any of these useful pieces of junks since they are needed for your conquest of this world. And don't worry about the training, Master because with my methods, these useful pieces of junk will become amazing pieces of junk." said HK-47

Soon, the B1 that went to get the Sewer System blueprints came back.

"Statement: Good, you had 10 seconds left but next time be faster." said HK-47

"But I completed the assignment in under 2 minutes." complained the B1

"Angry: Are you back talking to me." said HK-47 "If I said you had 2 minutes then you should try and complete it in 1 minute. You are wasting the Master's time."

"No, sir." said the B1 "Roger, roger."

"Statement: Good, now upload the sewer blueprints into the HoloMap." said HK-47

"Roger, roger" said the B1 in a depressed and defeated voice

Soon, the sewer system below the town appeared on the map.

I started to study the layout of the town and sewer system. After 20 seconds, I came up with a plan to take the town.

"Looks like not far away from here there are a few places we can enter into the sewer system and get under the town." I said

"Evaluation: Sneak attacking from below is an excellent idea, Master. These meatbags will not see it coming." said HK-47

"We won't just be attacking from below, I want you send 12 Squads of B1s away and have the 12 transport shuttles we have to come down to pick them up." I said "Then the shuttles will take them back into space and coming back down over the town so the Security Forces won't be able to see the shuttles landing on the roofs and dropping off the Battle Droids. At the same time as the Droids being dropped off, we will have Droids commencing their attack from the sewer."

"Continuation: That is even better, Master. A Pincer Attack from above and below, these meatbags won't know what hit them." said HK-47

"Correct, they won't see what's coming." I said

"Statement: I am looking forward to seeing the expression on these stupid meatbags' faces." said HK-47

"How long until we can commence the sneak attack?" I asked HK-47

"Calculating: I estimated it to take at least 7 to 12 minutes for the Droids to get into position." said HK-47

"Ok, while that is happening,we will draw their fire and attention by attacking the city." I said "I will lead a Battalion of B1s. Also do we have any energy riot shields?"

"Statement: Let me check." said HK-47 who then takes out a Holopad and types and scrolls through information on it. "Answer: Yes, we do have energy riot shields. We have a total of 1,000 shields. It looks like they were meant to go to a bunch of prisons."

"Good for us. I should really thank the Trade Federation for all of these great gifts." I laughed. "Now HK, I want you to get my Droid Battalion equipped with those shields. Once equipped, I will divide my Battalion into 4 Companies of 250, and we will march onto the town at all four entrances at the same time, which will give the Droids sneaking from above and below plenty of opportunity to take out the enemy force while my Battalion is distracting them."

"Statement: I am amazed by your plan. We will easily achieve victory with this plan" said HK-47 "I sometimes forget that you meatbags are not always useless bags of meat that can be killed easily with squeeze of my fists."

"Huh" I said

"Retraction: Did I say that out loud? I apologize, Master. While you are a meatbag, you are still my great and powerful Master." said HK-47 "Oops, I said it again. I am sorry, Master. I do admire you greatly, unlike other meatbags, and I do like you and I tolerate those you are close to while I do hate all other meatbags."

"You don't have to try and cover yourself." I said "I understand and I know you don't mean any offence, lets just focus on the plan, and commence the battle shall we."

"Agreement: Yes, let's get the plan into motion." said HK-47 who then types on a Holopad. "I just sent direct orders to the Battalion Commander of the 1st Assault Battalion, and told him that you will command the Battalion in battle. The Battalion Commander will be here soon to lead you to the 1st Assault Battalion."

Soon, a B1 droid comes running towards us and stops in front of me and bows on one knee.

"Greetings to the Holy Emperor." said the B1 Droid "I am Battalion Commander B1-AC-169. I am here to take you to the 1st Assault Battalion. I am happy and honored to be given the chance to follow you into battle."
