The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1891. Self-defeating

In the Hydia hyperspace channel, on the planet Toprawa, a planet about 10 parsecs from the planet Dathomir, an Archon-class aircraft carrier of the Navy of the Principality of Dawn is suspended here.

Darth Malthael is meditating, adjusting his state to the best. After all, we will face a tough battle on the planet Dathomir next.

After a moment, a prompt sounded on the side, and Darth Malthael suddenly opened his eyes. Dark power flashed through his eyes at this moment. The power at that moment made Charal, the witch beside him, all over his body. A shudder.

In that short moment, Charal felt as if he was in a world of death, feeling the withering and death of all things...

She hurriedly glanced at Darth Malthael with frightened eyes, not even daring to stay any longer.

As she learned more about Darth Malthael's power, the fear in her heart grew bigger, making her dare not show any disobedience or disrespect.

Darth Malthael had just appointed her as a royal advisor, dedicated to being at his side to provide ideas and assistance for his dark experiments.

Because Darth Malthael discovered that the so-called shadow magic that Charal learned could actually have good effects in many cases if combined with Sith alchemy. And Charal is indeed a very outstanding witch of the Sisters of the Night. Otherwise, she would not have been able to steal the artifact Ring of the Crow, nor would she have been hunted for more than a hundred years and still be unharmed.

Thinking about it from another perspective, being able to live for more than a hundred years also shows that Chalal also has considerable research on immortality.

Darth Malthael walked toward the bridge, where two women wearing robes and gorgeous masks were already waiting there.

One of the women was wearing a white, very ornate mask with a gap on her forehead, revealing a black gem set in her forehead. She has a dark complexion, a tall figure, and a calm temperament.

The priestess, Depa-Bilaba, is also the principal of the Twilight Covenant.

The other woman was wearing a purple mask. This mask was equally gorgeous, but more tranquil. Two bunches of black feathers extended from the top of the mask, and then tied on her black braid to form a pair of small ones. black wings.

Judgment, Celeste Morn, the 'Shadow' of the ancient Jedi Covenant and the bearer of Muir's Amulet.

Priestess and Judgment are currently the most powerful combat forces under Darth Malthael, and their power is even stronger than Darth Lilim.

They bowed to Darth Malthael, who came over, and the priestess said: "Your Excellency, the two people you asked for are already here..."

The mask obscured her expression, but judging from her tone, there were some fluctuations. "I'm actually very surprised and happy that these two people are still alive...because this may mean hope."

Although these two people are the strongest, one is still bent on avenging the Jedi Order even if he falls to the dark side, and the other is an ancient Jedi. It seems that neither one is purely dark and evil.

Darth Malthael ignored the sighing priestess and waved his hand directly and said: "Let's go then, fly the fighter plane over, don't alert the enemy."

"I don't think Darth Sidious can be so honest and wait for us to go there, and then work with us to deal with Guts Zerlain. Maybe he will really go there in advance to lay a trap, or try to fight Guts Zerlain colluded." Judgment said solemnly.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Darth Malthael's mouth, "If he really thinks so, then I think he may have to suffer a little."

In the original plot, Guszeryan is an ambitious guy with almost no possibility of communication. Now when she sees such a chaotic galaxy, it is absolutely impossible for her to have no idea!

If Darth Sidious really dared to go to Gothzeryan alone, then the old witch's first reaction would definitely not be to think about Sidious's conditions, but to kill the emperor. Then while the empire is in chaos, use your invincible power to build an empire of your own!

As if to confirm his thoughts, his universal tool suddenly trembled, and an encrypted message was sent.

Darth Malthael looked down and his face suddenly darkened, "Darth Lilim, she has already gone to the planet Dathomir!"

Charal frowned and said, "Sir, I thought that the last time you discussed with Palpatine, you really sent your apprentice to Dathomir to investigate..."

"Hmph! I said that casually, so that I can easily explain why I know about Guthzeraine. I don't want Palpatine to know about the existence of the Crow Ring yet." Darth Massa El snorted coldly and said, "Unexpectedly, she really went there! Doesn't she know how dangerous the planet Dathomir is?!"

"She has grown a lot and will provide us with good help this time." The priestess said from the side.

"Yes, she did hide it well, and she found out that Palpatine really planned to contact Guthzeryan in advance, hahahaha..." Darth Malthael sneered, "The results speak for themselves. Yu, they fought directly with Guszeryan. Then they ran away in panic... It seems that my previous judgment of him was still a little too conservative."

"Humph! This is very similar to what a Sith Lord who no one believes in can do." The priestess said sarcastically.

"Let's go and act according to the original plan." Darth Malthael waved his hand and walked out of the bridge. "Don't worry about Darth Lilim. Let her suffer a little."

Soon, he drove his Red Comet Sith Infiltrator, and five modified and enhanced Viking fighters driven by several others took off from the landing platform of the Archon-class aircraft carrier, jumped into hyperspace, and headed towards Flying to the planet Dathomir.

…

When Darth Malthael's small fighter formation left hyperspace, the huge and mysterious figure of the planet Dathomir appeared in front of them. In the perception of the Force, the entire planet is covered by the Force. Here, perhaps, is the purest Force environment.

However, at this moment, there are five Empire-class Star Destroyers in low-Earth orbit outside the planet!

Darth Malthael sneered again: "It seems that Palpatine is angry. No matter how dangerous the environment here is, he will let the battleships come over regardless. He is not afraid that these battleships will cause too much noise. Then you won’t be able to return even to one ship?”

The star area environment around the planet Dathomir is very complex. The Galactic Empire does not fully control this area, so there are pirates and rebels everywhere along the way. If a fleet is stationed here for a long time, it will be attacked sooner or later. !

But it was obvious that Darth Sidious was really angry after being defeated by Guthzeryan.

With a sarcastic smile on his face, Darth Malthael connected to Darth Sidious's communication. He looked at the emperor who was well hidden on the screen and could not see any emotions at all, and said : "This is different from what we agreed, Your Majesty the Emperor. Such a big fanfare... except for making Guthzeryan flee everywhere, it will not help anything."
