The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1143: trap

Cody sneaked all the way to the vicinity of the bridge. He has now confirmed that the Kent is indeed occupied. However, there are not many Umbaras occupying this battleship, so he has the opportunity to use his familiarity with the battleship's terrain to hide until Now.

He quietly got into a secret maintenance passage, came near the vent of the bridge, and wanted to check the situation of the bridge.

However, just as he was about to probe, he suddenly heard a familiar voice!

"...Your, um, 'fire support' is very effective, very good, Ventress, it seems that your notorious reputation on the Republic side is not entirely bragging." The voice is deep and deep, mid-breath Completely, "Next, I will board the Kent with Anakin and try to take back the battleship. You know what to do..."

The same voice had arrested him not long ago on trumped-up charges and threatened to court-martial him!

Jedi Master, Pon-Krell!

And who is he talking to? Ventress? That Count Dooku's men? Dark Jedi?

Cody was extremely angry in his heart, he clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

betray! This is a blatant betrayal of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order! !

"Hahahaha! Then you can take advantage of Anakin Skywalker's full attention on me, and pierce his heart with a sword! Hahahahaha!" Asajj Ventress licked his lips and grinned Said, "Earl Dooku...and the dead angel will be very, very satisfied! So, I now..."

Suddenly her eyes froze, the lightsaber in her hand was unsheathed in an instant, and she turned around and slashed down with the sword!

Swish! ! ! The ventilation duct diagonally above was directly divided into two by this sword!

"What happened? Don't tell me that there are still hidden dangers on the Kent." Pang Krell said coldly.

"I do things without leaving any hidden dangers." Ventress put away the lightsaber, turned and walked outside.

...

"You know what, kid, I've always had a really bad feeling about this operation," said Anakin Skywalker from aboard a LAAT/I assault transport as he piloted the ship.

"Even if we don't use the Force to perceive, we can still know that this time things are weird, Skywalker. The Kent is actually occupied by Cody? It's completely impossible!" Ahsoka Tano sat in the co-pilot seat On the board, with a solemn expression, "Let's not talk about whether Cody will betray, the soldiers on the Kent and the 212th Assault Battalion are not in the same unit at all, and it is absolutely impossible for them to follow Cody to cause trouble."

"It is absolutely impossible for Cody to betray." Anakin said in a deep voice.

"Well, he can't take over a battleship by himself anyway," Ahsoka added.

"So Master Pang Krell's judgment is correct, we should go to check it out and resolve this matter in person." Anakin nodded.

Ahsoka Tano spread his hands, curled his lips and said, "Actually, to be honest, Master Krell is so sure that Cody did it, don't you think it's suspicious?"

"It's just your prejudice against him. Master Krell is a battle hero of the Jedi Order. He may have his persistence, and may have a different way of thinking from us, but we should not deny him because of this." Anakin Skywalker said.

Ahsoka Tano snorted coldly, "Okay, then don't be prejudiced, and use logic to judge. There is something wrong with what Master Pang Krell said."

Anakin-Skywalker was silent for a while, and said, "I will board the ship alone later, and you will wait on the spaceship."

"I think it would be better for me to go with you and hand over the spaceship to the navigation robot?" Ahsoka Tano quit.

"Trust me, brat, and I only trust you." Anakin Skywalker turned around, looking directly into Ahsoka's eyes.

Ahsoka Tano stopped talking, she also looked Anakin in the eyes and nodded.

While talking, the LAAT/I assault transport ship they were driving had already flown near the Kent, and as expected, a burst of violent near-defense artillery fire hit their faces.

Anakin Skywalker nimbly steered the spaceship, shuttling through the hail of bullets, there was no laser at all, and a blaster beam could hit them.

The hangar platform of the spaceship was wide open, and the inside was pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast, exuding an ominous feeling.

The LAAT/I transport boat broke through the Kent's near-defense artillery interception and flew directly into the hangar platform. Anakin Skywalker opened the cockpit and jumped down.

He looked at the battleship hangar platform that had been blown into ruins, with a solemn expression, took out the lightsaber, and with a swish, the green lightsaber shot out, relying on the light brought by the lightsaber, he slowly moved forward in the darkness.

Soon, he saw another LAAT/I transport boat parked on the other side of the hangar, with a huge person standing beside it.

Master Pon-Krell.

"Ah, Anakin, you are finally here." Pang Krell walked over and said, "The situation here is a bit strange now, I didn't see anyone on the hangar platform, so I didn't enter rashly, I just waited here you."

Anakin Skywalker nodded, moved his steps nonchalantly, keeping a distance from Pang Krell, and said: "The Kent was damaged like this, and Cody must not have done it alone."

"I think so too. Let's go, let's go directly to the bridge." Pang Krell pointed to the front and said.

Anakin nodded, while secretly guarding himself, he walked towards the depths.

Pang Krell smiled, slowed down, and fell behind Anakin.

However, when they just walked to the inner hatch of the hangar platform, the side door of the maintenance passage next to it suddenly opened with a bang, and a person crawled out of it, shouting hysterically: "General Skywalker! Go away!! Pang - Krell is a traitor! Asajj Ventress is here!!"

"Cody!" Anakin Skywalker saw clearly the person coming, it was the former commander of the 212th Assault Battalion, Captain Cody! But what he said was so informative and terrifying that Anakin didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Ah! I finally found you! You traitor!!" Pang Krell roared, holding two double-headed lightsabers in his hands instantly, and he rushed straight in the direction of Cody!

Cody was also prepared. When he saw Pang Krell approaching, he rolled on the spot and hid under the wreckage of the fighter jet.

Swish! The wreckage of the fighter jet was cut in two by Pang Krell!

"Stop! Master Krell! We need Cody alive!" Anakin yelled.

"No! For traitors, the only end is death!!" Pang Krell said while slashing at Cody again.

"Stop!" Anakin yelled, and the lightsaber stretched out to block Krell's attack.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a throbbing of the original force in his heart, and a terrible crisis was in front of him!

He reacted in an instant, raised his hand to push Cody away with force, and at the same time retracted the lightsaber for a block!

Buzz~~~~! ! !

Two crossed blood-red lightsabers cut straight down, just caught by his lightsaber!

Asajj Ventress's pale, ferocious face appeared in front of Anakin Skywalker, she grinned and said, "Now, go to hell! Skywalker!!"
