Chapter 721 Between Darkness and Light
720. Between Darkness and Light
A Jedi will not kill unless necessary, especially an unarmed person.
But now, the dozen corpses lying in front of Shen Qiaoen are basically civilian personnel, and they have no weapons in their hands.
Shen-Jon killed them all without hesitation.
He did not betray the Republic or the Jedi Order, but he embraced the darkness and fell into the dark side of the Force. In the eyes of the Jedi Order, this was a betrayal.
The lightsaber in his hand was trembling, and the pure Kyber crystal was resisting the force of the dark side. Jon Shen clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and more powerful dark side force was injected into the lightsaber. The Kyber crystal let out a faint cry...
A clone soldier came over and said : "General, we have cleaned up this experimental base. They should have destroyed all the experimental data and left nothing. Now we have planted a bomb in this base. After detonating, there will be nothing left of the extractor project."
Shen Jon nodded, and then asked, "Is there any news about Severance Tann?"
"No, General. The person in charge of the experimental work here It should be a separatist general named Cheng Shitao, but we found no trace of him. We only know that he came from the Dawn Planet," the clone soldier said.
Jon Shen nodded, "Okay, let's leave here and continue to hunt Severance Tann."
"Yes!"
John Shen walked out The collapsed control center looked back at the corpses on the ground and said coldly: "At least, we have completed one of the tasks."
Several hoverbikes drove towards Shen Qiao. After stopping in front of En, his apprentice Nat Reese jumped down, followed by the hunter team, the hunter, the wrecker king, the sight and the technician.
"Master, we caught the technicians who escaped and didn't ask anything, so we killed them all." Nat Reese said calmly.
After this period of hunting and fighting, and with the hatred of his brother being killed, Nat Reese has also fallen into the dark side. Although she was only around 16 years old, her face was already filled with murderous intent.
"General, I actually think we can capture them. After all, they have surrendered." The technician said.
Shen-Qiaoen looked up at him and said coldly: "Remember one sentence - good soldier, obey orders (Goodsoldier Follower order)."
"Yes!" The crosshair immediately A military salute was performed.
“Let’s go before the separatist reinforcements arrive.” Shen Qiaoen raised his hood and put it back on, covering the upper half of his face, and then jumped directly into another empty car. The hoverbike drove towards the shuttle in the distance at high speed.
Taking the shuttle back to the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the battleship increased the engine output, broke away from the planet's gravity, started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.
It took a full 2 hours after they left before several Hiigara-class battlecruisers arrived here. However, what was waiting for them was the experimental base that had long been reduced to ruins.
"General, where is our next target?" On the bridge of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the clone commander came to Shen-Qiaoen and asked after saluting.
"The supplies we got on the planet Kront are enough for a while. Let's find a place to hide first, and then we will go to the Smuggler's Moon and the planet Narshada to find some information." Shen - Jon said.
"What about the previous prisoners?" the clone commander asked again.
"Bring him here." Shen Qiaoen said. A few minutes later, the clone troopers dragged a Neimoidian over, and it turned out to be Purul Barron, who had previously argued with General Cheng Shitao on the planet Erin.
As soon as she saw Shen Qiaoen, she begged loudly, "Sir, please have mercy on me! I told you everything I know, and I didn't lie, right? The planet Cronte is indeed It’s the experimental base of the Extractor Project! Please don’t kill me, the Trade Federation will pay a high ransom, really!”
Shen-Qiaoen looked at it with garbage eyes. She asked coldly: "Where is Severance Tann?"
"I...I don't know...she, she belongs to the Dawn Planet in the Western Theater, what do I know about her whereabouts? You know..." Prue-Barron said tremblingly.
"So, where is Cheng Shitao?" Shen Qiaoen asked again.
"I...he was on the planet Erin before, and that coward ran earlier than me! He didn't even tell me when he left! Wasn't his convoy defeated by you later? He must have Dead! Yes! Definitely dead!" When he mentioned Cheng Shitao, Purul-Barron looked ferocious.
Now she wants Cheng Shitao to die, so that her embezzlement and embezzlement of experimental funds and equipment will not be exposed.
Shen-Qiaoen said coldly: "This guy still has some value. Find the nearest Republic outpost and hand her over to the Republic for trial. Leave the other prisoners behind as well."< br>
"Why not kill her, Master?" asked Nat Reese.
Shen Qiaoen looked at the endless universe outside the porthole and said, "I should also give an explanation to my master, Master Windu."
"We can't go back, can we? "Nat Reese asked again.
"When we kill Severance Tann, our mission will be over." After Shen Qiaoen finished speaking, he turned and left the bridge.
……
The outer ring of the Milky Way, the planet Dagobah.
Darth Malthael stood in front of a cave, just looking at the cave silently without saying a word.
From the cave, an extremely dark power emanates. This power is almost like a black hole, so dark that even light cannot shine through.
But Darth Malthael did not make any move, he just stood here and watched.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. Tang Xiao, or I should call you... Darth Malthael..." A voice came from behind him.
A shadow floated behind him, and it gradually became clear. It was an old man wearing a brown robe of a Jedi Knight, with gray beard and hair, and a majestic but kind face...
Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.
"This planet is the planet with the purest force in the entire galaxy. You can see many things through here." Darth Malthael said lightly, "So, the future of the galaxy , did you see it?"
"I saw it, but I didn't see it." Qui-Gon Jin shook his head, "I see your determination to reverse all this, but it's a pity that you leave. Wrong path. Even if you win this war, your existence will only make this galaxy darker."
