Chapter 756 Determination
755. Determination
“I order you to destroy the Plague!”
Darth Sidious’s voice was eerie, terrifying, and twisted. , as always, implanted terrible fear into Newt Gunray's heart, making him retreat continuously.
However, I don’t know why, but another figure always appears in Newt Gunray’s mind now, which is darker, more terrifying, and...
Even closer!
In Newt Gunray's view, if Darth Sidious is a terrifying spider that spreads its webs all over the galaxy, then Darth Malthael is a silent spider. Silent cheetah.
And this cheetah has come behind him! !
Darth Malthael's powerful and dark figure began to overlap with Tang Xiao's expression that always wore a warm smile.
He began to recall every chat and laugh he had with Tang Xiao in the past. When they were discussing cooperation on the Dawn Planet, when they toasted together to celebrate independence on the Geonosian Planet, when they were on the Lasax subplanet When major issues are decided together in parliament...
Unknowingly, in those beautiful memories, Tang Xiao's humble appearance was replaced by Darth Malthael's eerie appearance.
Such a feeling made him shudder...
He has been behind me a long time ago, and he will continue to be behind me in the foreseeable future.
He will kill me! Anytime is fine! !
For a long time, Newt Gunray's impression of Tang Xiao was that of a young, good-tempered good ally who would even stand firmly on the side of the Trade Alliance in many cases.
In fact, there is no shortage of such people for such a terrifying size of the Trade Federation. However, with the gradual development of the Dawn Planet, Newt Gunray also discovered that what Tang Xiao had in his hands, even if it was not as good as the Trade Federation, was still It is true that I have the capital to be able to talk to him on an equal footing.
A complete military industrial system, the ability to independently design and manufacture large warships, there are many things in this that even the Trade Alliance itself can only hope for.
Later, when Tang Xiao was on the planet Geonosis, he began to mention something about the Sith Lords intentionally or unintentionally, and when Count Dooku brought up Darth Sidious, When he arrived, he discovered that Tang Xiao seemed to know this person as well.
So at that time, Newt Gunray regarded Tang Xiao as someone who was coerced and oppressed by Darth Sidious and had to board the pirate ship just like him. As a result, his affection for Tang Xiao increased a lot due to the mutual sympathy.
So later, he also instructed the Trade Alliance to gradually deepen cooperation with Dawn Planet, and the two parties signed orders for many large-scale projects.
But only now did he understand that Tang Xiao was not coerced by others. The reason why he knew this was because he was the Sith Lord himself! ! !
Yes, compared with Darth Malthael, the threat of Darth Sidious seems to be much smaller.
Newt Gunray gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "Sir, this may lead to serious consequences. After the battleship Fang was destroyed previously, the Plague has become an independent star... Separatism The backbone of the force! Public opinion reports on the situation of the Plague almost every day. If the Plague is destroyed because of me, then..."
"Coward!" Si scolded angrily, "Have you forgotten our plan? What I want is this republic and this galaxy! Not a simple civil war! As long as the Plague is destroyed, my position will be more stable. Naturally, I will give you more help! Only after you finally destroy the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order will you have enough merit to become the hero who ends the war."
Darth Sidious. Si stretched out a mechanical hand and squeezed it tightly. This action made Newt Gunray's heart skip a beat. He did remember that it seemed that the speaker of the Galaxy Parliament, Sheev Palpatine, had been wearing a glove on his left hand since ten years ago.
However, at this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts like 'Sure enough,' what Darth Malthael said turned out to be right!
Sidious doesn't care about the outcome of this war at all, because he is always the winner!
“In this case, even if we stand still, Count Dooku will not let me go if the battle situation here is reported back to Lasax... Sir, this is different from the plan we agreed on. Ah..." Newt Gunray said.
"Don't worry, Count Dooku... won't do anything to you. You also know that he is my apprentice." Darth Sidious said with a ferocious expression: "Now give me I'll do it! Destroy the Plague! Then we'll be one step closer to the success of our plan."
"Yes...yes..." After all, Newt Gunray did not dare to disobey Darth Sidious in person, so he reluctantly agreed. Then he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly cut off the communication.
He didn't realize that his behavior was tantamount to hanging up the phone on his direct boss.
He calmed down for a while, and then looked at the battlefield hologram sent from the planet Cato-Neimoidia.
I only saw the huge Plague Titan battleship rushing forward at high speed, and the battleships of the Republic's 7th Squadron were besieging them, and the biggest threat among them was the largest ships—— The commander level is 8000 meters, the governor level is 4000 meters and the prosecutor level is 2500 meters.
Newt Gunray gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, picked up the communication and shouted loudly: "Torkz! Let your fleet set off immediately! Reach the Plague battleship!"
A short Neimoidian wearing a pair of glasses appeared in the holographic projection. He immediately responded: "Yes! Governor!"
With his order, Cato Nemo The defenders of Planet Idia finally take action!
The warships, which are always in a state of combat readiness, opened fire almost immediately, firing a salvo directly at the rear of the 7th Squadron of the Republic!
The 7th Squadron was originally on guard against the planet's defenders, but with their flagship destroyed, all attention was focused on the Plague, and now even if there are battleships, they are still on guard. , but they no longer pay attention to these defenders who have not dared to take any action since the war began.
A salvo directly destroyed 5 Corellian gunboats, and an Aquitens-class light cruiser suffered heavy damage.
Immediately afterwards, the Trade Alliance defenders' fleet rushed forward and launched a second salvo against the two Commander-class dreadnoughts of the 7th Squadron!
Under this formation, the 30 Generosity-class communication frigates among the Trade Federation defenders were finally able to exert their only advantage-frontal firepower.
Dozens of powerful turbo lasers landed on the two Commander-class dreadnoughts, causing the battleships' shields to flash violently.
The Republic fleet under attack immediately began to adjust its formation. Some warships continued to besiege the Plague, while others began to turn around to intercept the Trade Federation fleet.
But the result of trying to take care of both ends is that you cannot hold down both ends.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Severance Tann pointed at the second flagship of the 7th Squadron and roared, "Main gun fire!!"
A dazzling flash of light suddenly bloomed. , At the same time, the new flagship of the 7th Squadron was hit directly on the side by the Plague's super-matter electromagnetic gun!
The Commander-class dreadnought that is firing at the rear Trade Federation fleet happens to have its shields not operating at full power!
