Chapter 759: Apology
758. Apology
“This...this is...” Looking at the holographic projection, Newt Gunray was stunned.
Then Count Dooku's rich and magnetic voice sounded, "I don't know what happened between you and the Angel of Death, and I don't want to know. But, after seeing this, you should understand that of Angel of Death What's the basis?"
"He is taking advantage of public opinion...?" Newt Gunlay said.
"That's right. I suspect that when he was promoting the Venomous Fang battleship and the Plague Titan battleship in a big way, he was already thinking about this idea. In fact, he even foresaw the destruction of the Venomous Fang... because of what we promoted before. The destruction of the Venomous Fang, one of the two super-giant ships, had brought public opinion to the brink of an explosion, but it was the Plague's success on the planet Teligaris that temporarily suppressed this process." Dooku. said the earl.
"So... after the Fang was destroyed, the Plague became the only spiritual pillar of the Confederacy of Independent Systems?" Newt Gunray thought of this.
"Star battleships, star generals, in a sense, that is indeed the case." Count Dooku stroked his snow-white beard, "If General Grievous had not also severely damaged the Republic during the festival offensive As for the fleet, even I have to issue the marshal's scepter to Admiral Severance Tann now."
"...In other words, if I really destroy the Plague, then. Will I become a sinner of the Confederacy of Independent Systems?" Newt Gunray's face turned blue.
"And you are also a sinner of the Galactic Republic." Count Dooku added.
Newt Gunray was completely discouraged. He lowered his head and said, "But...but Lord Sidious will kill me! He will definitely do it!"
Doku The earl looked down at the timid poor fellow, with a hint of ridicule and disdain in the corners of his eyes. However, considering the terrifying wealth in his hands, Count Dooku still smiled slightly and said: "Lord Sidious will not kill you, but I am sure that he will be very angry at your disobedience."< br>
"You must save me... He will kill me, I don't want to die..." Newt Gunray begged.
Count Dooku shook his head and asked: "Why did you come to me instead of looking for the Angel of Death?"
"I couldn't find him at all, he just told me He wants to win this war, and he wants to kill me, but I don’t even know where he is..." Newt Gunray said eagerly.
After all, he was still the Governor of the Trade Federation. Even if Newt Gunray told lies in such fear, his face would not change and his heart would not beat. He told half-truths and half- lies according to the way Darth Malthael taught him before.
"He wants to win this war...?" Count Dooku thought about the meaning of this sentence, "In other words, he thinks Sidious does not want to win?"
"He did hint so." Newt Gunray lowered his head and said.
"Hmph." Count Dooku snorted coldly, and then said: "It would be better for you not to get involved in the matter between Darth Sidious and the Death Angel. Those of the previous generation The Sith Lord, it’s not surprising that he has anything dark and powerful in his hands. This is not an area you can touch.”
But Tang Xiao is obviously very young, so why does it seem like this to Count Dooku. Just like the older generation of Warcraft, this thought flashed through Newt Gunray's mind, but he just continued according to the statement he had made before: "I have no idea what happened... The Plague suddenly appeared in Cato Neimoidia, I am completely unprepared!”
Count Dooku smiled coldly, raised his finger, and a black communicator flew into the hands of Newt Gunray, "Please forgive Lord Darth Sidious." Newt Gunray seemed to be holding The communicator was thrown away like a piece of red-hot iron, "No, no, no! He will kill me, he will definitely kill me! He personally told me to destroy the Plague, but I didn't do it... …"
Count Dooku walked over personally, bent down to pick up the communicator, and put it in the hands of Newt Gunray, "You will not be killed by Lord Sidious. Yes, at least for now, I can guarantee this to you, and if you still don't apologize to him, then his anger will become more intense with each passing minute, and maybe at some point, he will really kill you. "
Newt Gunray picked up the communicator tremblingly, hesitated for a long time, glanced at Count Dooku again, and then connected the communication after Count Dooku nodded again.
A moment later, the figure of Darth Sidious in a black cloak appeared in the holographic projection, with half of his ferocious and twisted face exposed under the hood, and said in a greasy voice: " Ah, isn’t this my dear Governor of the Trade Federation? Are you here to tell me the good news that the Plague has been destroyed?”
Newt Gunray's body trembled violently, but at this moment, the force of the dark side suddenly brushed through his heart. At this moment, the figure of Darth Malthael seemed to flash before his eyes. It immediately calmed him down a lot.
At the same time, Darth Sidious seemed to notice something, and his golden eyes under the hood suddenly looked to the other side, "Count Dooku, you are there."
Count Dooku stepped forward and appeared in the projection range, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My Lord, I am here."
Newt Gunray said tremblingly, "Plague , was not destroyed. On the contrary... it destroyed the 7th Squadron..."
Darth Sidious's voice turned cold, "Then, maybe I spoke too softly before, and you didn't. Hear? ”
"I... no, I heard... but... but the Plague..." Newt Gunray said incoherently, trying to make it easier for himself.
"I don't want someone who disobeys my orders to be alive!!" Darth Sidious gritted his teeth and raised his hand to grab Newt Gunray's neck. The Force grabbed him out of thin air and lifted him up.
Newt Gunray kicked his legs in despair, looking at Count Dooku and wanting to ask him for help, but Count Dooku just knelt there on one knee and remained motionless, with no intention of saving him.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Newt Gunray started to roll his eyes, Darth Sidious raised his hand and Newt Gunray was immediately thrown out with a bang. It hit the table and rolled to the ground without moving for a long time.
At this time, Count Dooku said slowly: "My lord, the name of the Plague is widely circulated in the Confederation of Independent Systems. It is not appropriate to act rashly under such circumstances, and it may even be dangerous. Expose your plan ”
"So, you have a plan?" Darth Sidious said coldly and slowly.
“At least, this is not something that the coward Newt Gunray can do.” Count Dooku said.
