The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1210 , resort to force

The execution finally ended, and the high platform in front of the Temple of Unity was soaked in blood, and no one tried to rescue the executed people.

The rebels had already been scared out of their wits, so naturally they didn't dare to confront the robot army guarding the high platform head-on at such a time. Even if they had the confidence to deal with these robots, who knew where the Thor mecha that had easily wiped out hundreds of their elite fighters a few days ago was?

That's right, Thor Mecha, they all know the name now.

Because in the past few days, the news channels of Planet Onderon have been overwhelmingly promoting this ultimate war weapon. In their propaganda, Thor Mech can fight battleships and infantry below, and destroying a fighter formation is just like playing.

Who knows how much bragging is in there? But the rebels didn't dare to try it out on their own.

After executing these prisoners, General Kalani announced another matter-the former regent Sanji Rush wanted to assassinate the former king Ramses Dundup, and had a fierce exchange of fire with the guards. In the confusion, he shot himself in the back of the head and died unfortunately. In order to maintain the normal operation of the planet, General Kalani immediately established a military government and announced that the planet Onderon was in a state of combat readiness.

Before the public had time to think about how Sanji Rush, as the nominal supreme leader of the planet, personally assassinated Ramses Dundup, who had long been a prisoner, and how he shot himself in the back of the head , General Kalani once again announced another big news——

Ex-king Ramses Dundup was acquitted.

On the one hand, it is obvious that the regent Sanji-Rush was murdered, the military government was established, and it entered a state of war readiness. It is obvious that it is going to engage in white terror. - Dundup was acquitted?

Such a decision made everyone who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV feel at a loss. They couldn't even tell whether these things were made by Dundup, a counterattack to regain the dominance of the planet.

Also feeling at a loss is the commander-in-chief of the Planetary Armed Forces, General Akhenath-Tandin.

He stood in the back, with Ramses Dundup who still hadn't left.

Dundup is an old man in his 60s, with a gray beard and hair and a kind face. Although he is a bit haggard, his eyes are still sharp.

General Tanting looked at Dundup, sighed and said: "I can no longer understand what these robots are trying to do... Excuse me, the former King, they killed Sanji-Rush, but put you Released, I really don't understand what it means. If they want you to return to the throne, why did they launch this coup back then?"

Ramses Dundup shook his head and said: "They really want me to return to the position of king, but the premise is that I must go to them to ask them. Otherwise, this robot general will keep Unde Planet Long remains under military control."

"But...why?" General Tandin asked, "If you can get Earl Dooku's support and return to the king's position in a legitimate way, everyone on the planet, including me, is willing to support it. But since that's the case , why did they do it in the first place?"

Dundup patted General Tandin on the shoulder and said: "Because the situation has changed. When Sanji Rush was an officer under me, I saw that this man was too ambitious but not very capable. Ang He can't take care of the planet Deron. Count Dooku is not stupid, keeping this useless wretch with negative effects is not good for his rule. And... the fleet of the Galactic Republic is coming soon."

"Galaxy Republic? They will send a fleet? This is an invasion!" General Tan Ding was shocked.

Dundup said: "Actually, when I was in custody, the Rebel Army had already contacted me, hoping that I would stand up and support their actions, but I refused. The two sides of this war, the Federation of Independent Galaxy and the Galactic Republic, are equally corrupt, There is also no future. My original intention was not to join any party, just like the Mandalorian planet, to join the Alliance of Neutrals and not to participate in this war... But they did not give me a chance to choose."

He went on to say, "The emergence of the rebel army is also a kind of harm to our planet. What do our people need? They need to stay away from war, they need a job that earns money, and then earn money to support their families. But the rebel army brought our people Yes, but it is also a war, and they have no other effect except to make the planet more chaotic and even cause civil war."

"I originally thought that the people would really stand on the side of the rebels." General Tan Ding said with a frown.

"That's because the Galactic Republic is behind the rebels. If the people really want to choose, then the result may disappoint you—don't forget, most people on this planet are in the Fourth Group and Tyron Heavy Industries Work under the property." Dundup glanced at him.

General Tanting sighed, "So the king of this planet is none other than you, Your Majesty Dundup."

"Don't call me Your Majesty, I won't be the king." Dundup said resolutely: "As far as I know, letting me go is the plan of Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Star. His wishful thinking is very loud. He wants me to unite the people of Planet Onderon, and then fight to the death with the Galactic Republic, and I will never let him do so."

"Then what should we do now? Planet Onderon, what should we do?" General Tandin asked.

"I hope that the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies will decide the outcome as soon as possible. This is the only thing we can pray for." After Dundup finished speaking, he patted Tandin on the shoulder and walked out through the side door, leaving the Temple of Unity .

...

The judgments of Tang Xiao, Dundup, General Kalani and others were not wrong. The Galactic Republic finally chose to resort to force when it came to the Onderon planet issue.

After Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano returned to Coruscant to report what happened on Onderon to the Galactic Council and Supreme Strategic Command, the haggard Speaker, Shiv Palpa Ting personally met them.

"Your Excellency, Speaker, your complexion is very bad." Anakin Skywalker was concerned.

"Ahem... I asked Mas Almeda to postpone the meeting yesterday, but those contents can't be pushed back anyway." Palpatine coughed a few times, his face paler, " Tell me about the Onderon planet."

"The affairs of Planet Onderon are far less important than your health, Your Excellency the Speaker," Anakin said.

"I can still hold on, Anakin. The members of the planet Biss found some expensive medicines for me, and now my condition is improving. But I told the members of the planet Biss that the price of these drugs is based on my salary. Calculate, I can't afford it." Palpatine pulled himself together and made a little joke.

Then he said solemnly: "On the planet Onderon, there is not only the production line of the latest warship of the Separatists - the Behemoth-class battlecruiser, but also the Mina Bontry who has been running on both sides of our wars and advocated peace. The home planet of the senator. I also watched the execution that happened yesterday. The death of senator Mina probably means that some terrible changes are taking place within the separatism... Therefore, the significance of the planet Onderon is very important. "

Palpatine said earnestly, this appearance seems to be a politician who is concerned about the country and the people, and persists in spite of illness. How can it be seen that just a few days ago, he was still on the planet Korriban with Da S-Masail launched a shocking battle.

Anakin was moved by his appearance, walked over and helped Palpatine to sit on the sofa, and then reported to Palpatine about the Onderon planet.

After listening to his report, Palpatine patted the back of Anakin's hand, and said earnestly: "I know you have doubts about your choice, Anakin, but in my opinion, on the planet Onderon You did nothing wrong in this matter. Separatism is deeply rooted there, and it cannot be reversed by a small group of terrorist attacks... I have reservations about Master Yoda's arrangement. "

"This is Master Windu's plan." Anakin said.

"Oh, it's him... It's not surprising." Palpatine smiled, "In short, the affairs of the Onderon planet must come to an end. In the past few days, the 501st Legion has also re-established in Coruscant. After the reorganization is completed, you can go to battle, and I hope you will still go."

"What are you going to do?" Anakin frowned. He had already guessed the result, but he still asked.

"Go...to capture the planet Onderon." Palpatine's tone suddenly became cold, and he said these words slowly.

"But Mr. Speaker, we just gave the people of Planet Onderon a promise that they will make their own decisions about their own planet. But at this time, we sent troops there first. This may be a bit..." Anakin-Tian Walker frowned.

"After the incident with the Thor Mech, the situation on Planet Onderon is irreparable, and we must let them return to the embrace of the Republic, so sending troops directly is the only option." Palpatine He said lightly, "You have been in charge of the Onderon planet before, so you are the best candidate. Go and tell them how powerful the Galactic Republic is."

What he said meant something, as if he was trying to excuse Anakin, but in another meaning, he was implying that it was because of his decision that the situation on Planet Onderon was irretrievable, so he was responsible for sending troops to invade this planet. The person who suffers from evil results can only be him.

Anakin wasn't keen enough to hear the meaning behind the words of these old foxes in the political circle, but he could also understand the meaning of asking him to wipe his own ass from Palpatine's words, so he still hesitated.

"You have to remember, Anakin. No matter when, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. The door of the speaker's office will always be open for you." Palpatine said.

Hearing Palpatine's promise of sending charcoal in a timely manner, Anakin Skywalker finally made up his mind and nodded emphatically, "I understand! The incident on the Onderon planet, I will personally put an end to it!"

For no reason, he thought of the Thor mech pilot he had never met, and the fear and hesitation he read from the pilot's thoughts that day.

"Before that, you should have one more day of vacation, why don't you take a good rest?" Palpatine saw that Anakin was distracted, and said very thoughtfully.

Anakin thought for a while and said, "I really need to relax. I want to go to the planet Naboo...but..."

"Don't worry, I will tell Master Windu that you are still on the front line. I know your mother is there. A little secret between them, right? Uh... cough cough cough cough!" Palpatine smiled, but seemed to be involved in the disease again, and coughed violently again.

Anakin said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Excellency Speaker. You also need to ensure your health more."

"You go first, don't waste time. I also made an appointment for a doctor." Palpatine waved his hands in a gesture of chasing people away. It was clearly a joke among old friends.

After Anakin walked away, Schiff Palpatine straightened his waist, his original weak appearance disappeared, and he said lightly to himself: "The Chosen One, this is my future...hehehehe... ...And you, which step can you see? Dead Angel."

...

On the planet Naboo, in a beautiful manor far away from the city.

Anakin Skywalker came here driving a hovering motorcycle. He jumped off the hovering motorcycle without stopping, and a cloud of smoke ran directly into the manor.

But when he came to the house, his footsteps slowed down, afraid of disturbing the people inside.

Through the window, he saw the protocol robot C-3PO assembled from the corner parts when he was picking up trash on Tatooine before, pushing a wheelchair and taking the people on it to bask in the sun.

And the robot rock-Johnson, who looks like a bald man, is also accompanying, or rather, guarding.

Because the mission on the planet Onderon was very secretive this time, Anakin left Johnson on the planet Naboo to accompany the man in the wheelchair——

His mother, Shmi - Skywalker!

Anakin opened the door and walked over, greeted C-3PO and The Rock-Johnson, and then asked eagerly, "How is my mother?"

"Little...little Annie...don't go...to the west to pick up trash...the...scavengers over there...don't make sense..." Shmi-Skywalker, who was sitting in a wheelchair, murmured.

The voice was so hoarse and windy that it was difficult to distinguish the original voice.

Anakin Skywalker looked at his mother with a look of pain on his face. I only saw Shmi-Skywalker's skin was gray and dull, and there were many dark red spots, which were corpse spots!

This is clearly the appearance of a person who has been dead for a long time!
