The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

694、A New Nightmare

The battleship Fang finally crashed head-on on the planet Rendria.

After the hyperspace engine of the battleship was blown up by the Jedi Knights, General Grievous felt that the matter was irreparable, so he fled the battleship with his fighter "Soulless", but still commanded the Fang through communication and remote control. Final struggle.

After the Jedi Knights destroyed the hyperspace engine, they had no intention of entangled with the robots rushing towards them like a tide, and quickly ran out from the loading and unloading platform of the battleship.

I don't know if it was fate, but after the Jedi Knight ran away, those robot maintenance workers swarmed up and repaired the hyperspace engine in a few minutes. Fortunately, Anakin Skywalker kept an eye out and modified the data of the navigation computer before. When the Fang was about to start the hyperspace jump, the calculation made a mistake, and finally crashed directly into the deserted planet of Rendria.

If General Grievous was still on the battleship at that time, there might be a chance to correct this mistake and save the precious super battleship the Fang.

It's a pity that General Grievous is already on the way to escape at this moment.

For the Republic, the crisis on the Venomous Fang was finally resolved, but another cloud of greater gloom continued to hang over everyone's hearts...

Plague!

I don't know which link went wrong. Even though Darth Malthael didn't spread the news to the Galactic Republic, the news of this terrible battleship and the tragedy on the planet Trigalis still spread throughout the Republic.

This tragedy of more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians was deliberately exaggerated and struck the hearts of every citizen of the Republic. The 14,100-meter-long super giant ship shrouded the Galactic Republic like a nightmare. The slowness and powerlessness of the 15th Army of the Republic in the face of the sudden attack of the Plague has also become the target of criticism.

'How to defeat the Plague? 'The largest media in the Galactic Republic, the Republic Holographic News Network, used the somewhat blurred image of the Plague and the moment when the warship destroyed the spaceport of the planet Trigalis as the background, and published a large front-page headline. The title of the word is shocking.

The speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Schiff Palpatine, urgently called a meeting of the Jedi Knights, the three major industrial giants, and the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, and announced that a full parliamentary discussion on the issue of the Plague would be held one day later.

Different from the panic of the public, the emotions of the three major industrial giants are not as tense as they were when they faced the Fang Fang.

"Just keep the original design direction." Lila Blissex, chief engineer of Kuat Power Dock, pushed aside the information in front of her and said coldly, "According to the current design, we proposed The 17,500-meter Super Star Destroyer plan can easily defeat this battleship. If it can deal with the Fang, it will naturally be able to deal with the Plague."

The engineers from Lundili Interstellar Power Company and Corellian Engineering Company also nodded expressionlessly. Anyway, the order is not with them, so they are naturally free. No matter what, the ship designed by Quart is the best. It was smashed by the plague number.

"It seems that in your eyes, this Plague is not as threatening as the Fang?" Palpatine asked with great interest.

"This is just a simple addition. It is nothing more than continuously superimposing the caliber and energy level. Then as long as it is larger than this battleship, you can easily win the battle. On the contrary, the EMP of the Fang Fang can hardly damage the shield. Imagine, we have to take this into account when designing. Protecting against EMP is naturally much more complicated than defending against a big iron lump." Lila-Blissex said.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth, "I understand, then since this is the case, you should hurry up and design this super star destroyer."

"But our battle situation can't wait until this time." Master Windu said, "The weakness of the Plague is more obvious than that of the Fang. Without the cover of the fleet, it is very likely to get rid of the Plague."

"We will increase our defenses, separatism. There will be no single-ship attack, after the Fang is destroyed." Master Yoda said.

"But at least, the battle on the Venom showed the strength of the Jedi Order. I believe that the Plague will suffer the same fate." Palpatine said with a smile, "Now we need to be more vigilant, as long as the Plague appears again, We must catch it, and don’t let the tragedy of Planet Trigalis happen again.”

After the meeting, Schiff Palpatine secretly came to the deserted industrial area of ​​Coruscant and took out the communicator.

The holographic projection of Earl Dooku appeared. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My lord, it was my mistake that the Jedi Knights seized the opportunity regarding the Venom. Next time, I will never Will make that mistake again."

"Why do you think that you have another chance?" Darth Sidious's distorted and greasy voice seemed to carry a chilling chill.

"Next, I will reorganize the fleet with the Plague as the core, which will deal a fatal blow to the Republic! And I believe that more Jedi warriors will die in the process of confronting the Plague when...uh..."

Before Earl Dooku could finish his sentence, Darth Sidious directly strangled his neck with the Force! Darth Sidious's terrifying dark side force directly crossed the endless starry sky and acted on Earl Dooku, and then threw him far away with a wave of his hand.

"I remember I told you, Plague, destroy it!" Darth Sidious said through gritted teeth.

"But my lord, we have lost the Fang..." Count Dooku stood up from the ground and quickly explained.

"Do you want me to say the same thing a third time?" Darth Sidious said coldly.

"Don't dare... I will arrange matters related to the Plague immediately." Earl Dooku hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, "But, I also hope that the lord will clarify the strategic direction of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies after the Plague is destroyed. Now the Venom and the Plague The USS is enjoying a great reputation among the people on the Confederate side, and in that case both are destroyed... The war is likely to end early..."

"When the war ends, the Republic doesn't care, the Jedi Order doesn't matter, and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies doesn't matter! When the war ends, it's up to me! Just a thought!" Darth Sidious Grasping the void with both hands, Earl Dooku could only see that everything around him trembled violently.

Then his tone changed, and he became kind again, "As long as I kill the Plague, I will naturally have a way to get it back for the Confederation of Independent Galaxies elsewhere."

"Just, why..."

"I just, simply don't like the name."
