The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

461. Plague Number!

Sang Hill finally obeyed Tang Xiao's words. He and Tang Xiao went to the rescue cabin and launched themselves out.

Soon, the Generosity-class communication frigate entered hyperspace, a white light flashed, and disappeared instantly.

At the same time, a mysterious red spaceship flew over from another direction. The moment the spaceship passed the rescue capsule, it fired a tractor beam, grabbed the rescue capsule into the cargo hold, and then activated the hyperspace engine. Fly in an unknown direction.

Thorn Hill came out of the cargo hold and looked at the back of the man in the black robe who was controlling the spaceship in the cockpit, with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Darth Malthael...you..." Thorn Hill trembled all over, he felt that the entire spaceship was filled with black smoke, and each smoke had a human face, sending out bursts of smoke towards him. Roar.

"You should call me...Honorable Lord." Darth Malthael turned his head, and it was still the same face, although the features were very clear, but it was like a fog.

"Yes... yes... my lord." Sang Hill quickly replied, "Excuse me, my lord, you asked me to come here to see..."

"He's here to kill you!!" Darth Malthael suddenly lifted his hood, revealing a rotten skeleton face underneath! The skull opened its mouth and laughed, with rotten muscle fibers still attached to the corners of its mouth! From that bloody mouth, another same skull drilled out, grinning ferociously, and getting bigger and bigger...the cycle continued.

"Wow!!!" Thorn Hill screamed and struggled violently, and then he realized that he was still on the red spaceship, and there were still countless light bands of hyperspace navigation outside the window, and the cab was empty , while Tang Xiao stood beside him.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Darth...Honorable Lord, Darth Malthael, he...he..." Thorn-Hil looked at the empty cab with some doubts.

"Isn't he right there?" Tang Xiao pointed to the cockpit and said.

Thorn Hill looked over again, this time, he saw the shadow of Darth Malthael, and also saw the terrifying skeleton under the hood, "Wow!" He screamed and fell to the ground .

Tang Xiao helped him up and felt Muun's body trembling violently. Tang Xiao felt the fear in his heart completely. He was very satisfied to see Sang Hill unable to extricate himself from this fear and illusion.

After all, San-Hil is different from the Semiers and the Jivins. He controls the entire Interstellar Banking Association, the largest financial entity in the galaxy. Conventional means cannot scare him at all, and it is also difficult for him to give up on himself.

So he kept expanding the fear in Thorn Hill's heart to achieve his goal. This must be based on a basis, that is, Thorn Hill was originally afraid of him, and he was originally close to him. And this is the legacy left by his master Darth Plagueis.

Darth Plagueis spent more than 10 years cultivating Thorn Hill and single-handedly supporting him to the position of co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, so his loyalty to Plagueis is beyond doubt.

Moreover, Tang Xiao also understood that Plagueis' original plan was not to target the Interstellar Banking Association, but to use the opportunity of the civil war to eliminate the Jedi Order and other forces loyal to the Republic.

It’s just that when Darth Sidious came here, his ambition was even bigger and crazier. He revised the plan and added fanatical human supremacy racism to the plan. He not only wanted to eradicate dissidents, but also established An empire of human supremacy, even... a theocracy empire!

It is precisely because of this foundation that Tang Xiao spent so much effort on Thorn Hill, in fact, he wanted to pocket the biggest resource left by him, Darth Plagueis—— , is the real greatest legacy of Darth Plagueis.

Instead of this...

With a flash of white light, the Red Comet appeared near a huge space station. Tang Xiao smiled and said to Thorn-Hil: "Here we are, this is here. Our great mentor, the last one left by Hego Damask II Great Legacy - Ragnarov-class Titan, Plague! (Plague)"

A huge long diamond-shaped hull appeared outside the portholes. It belonged to an extremely huge spaceship. Even if viewed from hundreds of kilometers away, this huge spaceship still came into view very clearly.

The battleship is very slender as a whole, most of the hull is a long diamond shape, only in the second half of the hull are divided into 4 branches, and at the tail are 4 sets of huge engines. The bridge is at the very front of the battleship, above the long rhombus, which is not very obvious.

Tang Xiao still decided to name the first battleship after Darth Plagueis. Because Darth-Plagues is the pronunciation of Galactic Standard Language, if it is spelled in English, it is Plagueis, and the plague is Plagues, there is only one word difference.

Therefore, Tang Xiao named the first Titan battleship after the plague.

"Is this battleship left by Mr. Hei Ge?" Sang Hill trembled again, but this time, he trembled with excitement.

"That's right. Teacher Hei Ge discovered the data of this super warship when he was exploring an ancient ruin. According to his judgment, this ruin should belong to an unknown civilization that rose tens of thousands of years ago and was later destroyed by the Infinite Empire. And this This Titan battleship was built by that civilization with all its efforts and spent decades, and Ragnarov used their language to mean 'doomsday' [Note 1]." Tang Xiao said.

"Teacher Hei Ge, for his plan, he gave everything." Sang Hill's eyes darkened.

"That's right. He had hoped to see this invincible titan warship capable of tearing apart the weak nature of the Galactic Republic and establishing a new order, but...he could never see that day. His traitor, Darth - Sidious, kill him and take everything from him," Tang Xiao said.

"No... Mr. Heige and I, the Interstellar Banking Association, and our Muun people!" Sang Hill said through gritted teeth, "Of course, there is also the Damask Holding Group, and... this ship Titan battleship! I don't care who Darth Sidious is, he wants to destroy us, it's not that easy!"

He suddenly turned around to look at Tang Xiao, and said slowly, "Do you think... Darth Malthael is trustworthy?"
