Chapter 695: New Nightmare
694. New Nightmare
The battleship Venomous Fang finally crashed into the planet Rendria.
After the battleship's hyperspace engine was blown up by the Jedi, General Grievous felt that the matter was irreversible, so he piloted his fighter "Soulless" to escape from the battleship, but he still passed The communication remote control commanded the Venom Fang to make its final struggle.
After the Jedi destroyed the hyperspace engine, they had no intention of getting entangled with the robots rushing over like a tide, and quickly ran out from the loading and unloading platform of the battleship.
I don't know if it was his fate, but after the Jedi ran away, the robot repairmen swarmed up and repaired the hyperspace engine in a few minutes. Fortunately, Anakin Skywalker kept an eye on it and modified the data of the navigation computer before. When the Fang was about to start a hyperspace jump, the calculation went wrong and it eventually crashed directly into the uninhabited planet Rendria.
If General Grievous was still on the battleship at that time, there might be a chance to correct this error and save the precious super battleship, the Venom Fang.
Unfortunately, General Grievous is already on the way to escape at this moment.
For the Republic, the crisis of the Fang has finally been resolved, but another, greater haze continues to shroud everyone's hearts...
The Plague!
I don't know which link went wrong. Even though Darth Malthael did not 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, in which more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, was deliberately exaggerated by thoughtful people and struck the heart of every citizen of the Republic. The 14,100-meter-long super ship shrouded the Galactic Republic like a nightmare. superior. The slowness and inability shown by the 15th Army of the Republic in the face of the sudden attack by 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 blurry image of the Plague and the flash of light when the battleship destroyed the space port on the planet Teligalis as the background, and published a large front page headline, just a few The title is shocking.
The Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Sheev Palpatine, urgently convened a meeting of the Jedi Order, the three major industrial giants and the Republic's Supreme Strategic Command, and announced that the issue of the Plague would be discussed by the whole parliament one day later.
Different from the people's panic, the three major industrial giants were not as nervous about this 14,100-meter-long ship as they were when they faced the Venomous Fang.
"Just maintain the original design direction." Lila Blissex, chief engineer of Quat Power Shipyard, pushed aside the information in front of her and said coldly, "Based on the current design, what we proposed before The 17,500-meter super star destroyer plan can easily defeat this battleship. If it can deal with the Fang, it can also deal with the Plague."
Looking aside, Rendili Star Power Company and Corellian Engineering. The company's engineers also nodded expressionlessly. Since the order was not with them anyway, they naturally took it easy. No matter what, it would be best if the ship designed by Quart was shot to pieces by the Plague.
"It seems that in your eyes, this Plague is not as threatening as the Fang?" Palpatine asked with interest.
“This is just addition. It is nothing more than the continuous superposition of caliber and energy level. As long as it is larger than this battleship, it can be easily defeated. On the contrary, the EMP of the Venom Fang The damage to the shield is unimaginable, and we must consider this when designing. Preventing EMP is naturally much more complicated than guarding against a large iron mass," Lila Blissex said.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth, "I understand, then in that case, you should hurry up and design this super Star Destroyer."
"But our battle situation cannot 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 possible to get rid of the Plague." "Yes." Increase your defenses, the Separatists will not attack alone, after the Fang is destroyed," Master Yoda said.
"But at least, the battle of the Fang showed the power of the Jedi Order. I believe that the Plague will meet the same fate." Palpatine said with a smile, " Now we need to be more vigilant. As soon as the Plague appears again, we must catch it and not let the tragedy of the Trigalis planet happen again."
After the meeting, Shiv Palpa. Ting secretly came to the deserted industrial area of Coruscant and took out the communicator.
The holographic projection of Count Dooku appeared. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "My Lord, regarding the Fang, it was my mistake that allowed the Jedi to seize the opportunity. I will never make this mistake again next time.”
"What makes you think you have another chance?" Darth Sidious's twisted 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 Knights will die in the process of fighting against the Plague. ...Uh..."
Before Count Dooku finished speaking, Darth Sidious strangled his neck with the Force! Darth Sidious's terrifying dark side force directly acted on Count Dooku across the endless starry sky, 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 Lord, we have lost the Fang..." Count Dooku stood up from the ground and explained quickly.
"Do you want me to say the same thing a third time?" Darth Sidious said coldly.
"I dare not... I will immediately arrange matters related to the Plague." Count Dooku quickly lowered his head and agreed, "But I also hope that the Lord will make it clear what the strategic direction of the Confederation of Independent Systems will be after the Plague is destroyed. . Now that the Fang and the Plague are in great renown among the people here on the Confederate side, in that case both were destroyed... the war will probably end early..."
"When will the war end, the Republic said? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter what the Jedi Order says, nor does the Federation of Independent Systems matter! When the war will end, it only depends on me!” Darth Sidious grasped the void with his hands, Count Dooku said. All he saw was that everything around him was shaking violently.
Then his tone changed and became kind again, "As long as the Plague is killed, I will naturally have a way to get it back for the Confederation of Independent Systems elsewhere."
"But, why... …”
"I just, simply don't like this name."
