Chapter 2253. The black hand that stirred up the situation
2254. The black hand that stirred up the situation
"Hahahahaha!" A burst of mocking laughter echoed in a luxurious palace.
I saw only a young man with long silver hair, a sinister face, and a scar on his face, drinking and having fun with two beautiful women wearing only hair in his arms.
This terrifying man is apparently the leader of the Zane Consortium, Shen Qiaoen’s favorite disciple—Tiber Zane.
"You mean, that guy from Extraordinary Vizsla took the initiative to start a fight, only to end up shouting in front of a group of civilians that he couldn't bear it in less than a week? Hahahahaha!!" Tiber Zane laughed so hard.
His cronies, Ulay Fen, stood in front of him and said calmly: "That's right. He originally thought that the war would end within two or three days, but it lasted for more than a week. But he only captured a city controlled by the rebels like Sikebi City. When the rebels started to counterattack, he was completely out of supplies."
Tiber Zane raised his hand. Pushing, he directly pushed the two women around him away. He was so strong that he pushed them to roll on the ground several times and hit the wall. Although the two women were in pain, they did not dare to say a word and just retreated with tears in their eyes.
"Then what? He came crying and begging me for something?" Tabor Zane said with a sinister smile.
"It's not that he is crying for his father and mother. On the contrary, he is threatening us." Ulay Fen said lightly: "He said that if we don't support him to win the war, he will destroy Mandalore. The planet is given to the Galactic Empire.”
Tiber Zane showed an exaggerated expression, "Oh~~ Leave it to the Galactic Empire! Our Extraordinary Vizsla is really thoughtful and hit our vital point at once! What should we do? I'm fine I'm afraid... Tell him that there is not even a small can of blasting gas."
"I suggest that it is better to provide him with a little supply, at least to last him until the coronation ceremony in five days. ” said Ulay-Fin.
"Well, that makes sense. Let's do it." Tiber Zane thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Give him a little thought and let him be crowned and enthroned with great fanfare. Ah...Superman Darlo, what a resounding name, this will definitely be the most famous ruler in the history of the Mandalorians!"
"Then, when he starts the ceremony, kill him and fight him. Those who break the ritual will become heroes," Ulay Fen said slowly.
"Who is our brave hero? Jango Fett or Bo-Katan Kryze?" Tiber Zane said and laughed again, "Ha Hahahahaha! ”
After laughing for a while, his expression suddenly calmed down and he asked in a deep voice: "Serri, how is she doing over there?"
"She is currently in Narshada, the Smuggler's Moon, and has already Be prepared. She has already negotiated with Black Sun," Ulay Fen said, "We just need to wait for Savage Opres to meet her, and then we can take action against Black Sun."
"Hahahaha!" Tabor Zane stood up, walked to the window and opened his hands, letting the sunlight shine on his bare chest. The solid muscles were covered with scars. It is not difficult to imagine that he was accepting Shen Qiao En suffered so much pain during training.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. It's time for them to take the field..." Tabor Zane smiled evilly, "Darth... Maul."
"Hahahahaha!"
"Ahahahahahaha~~~!!!"
The devilish laughter echoed in the air through the window.
In the distance, a tattered Jaeger-class battlecruiser was dropped from the sky, and countless fragments and parts began to scatter in mid-air.
Rumble, rumble... The battleship fell on the debris pile, making a dull loud noise, like thunder. However, no flames or explosions occurred. When the battleship was dropped, all fuel and energy supplies had been removed.
On the ground, there are mountains of spacecraft wreckage, as well as the remains of countless robots. In mid-air, countless engineering robots and engineering spacecraft are sorting and processing these countless fragments, and then disassembling useful things.
The types of warships that can be seen from this scrap iron mountain range include the Hunter-class, Victory-class, Rookery-class, Divine Will-class, Generosity-class, Defiant-class, etc. warships. You can even see the wreckage of the Dawn Principality's warships such as the Cole class and the Higra class.
This is the planet Salukami.
Once one of the main battlefields in the Clone Wars, it was also the battlefield with the longest duration. This is the last bastion and fleet gathering place of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
After Darth Vader captured the planet Salukami, the destruction of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was also announced.
However, now, Tabor Zane has developed the Zane Consortium’s garbage disposal business here! This is simply incredible.
Especially now that the Zane Consortium has been regarded as a criminal group by the Galactic Empire, they can still blatantly continue to smuggle warship wreckage for recycling and transformation business.
There is only one answer to this - the Zane Consortium is supported by a powerful person within the Galactic Empire, and this is definitely not official support.
The planet Salukami once gathered thousands of capital ships of the Confederation of Independent Systems, plus tens of thousands of small and medium-sized warships of various types, as well as a large number of armed space stations, Gauss defense platforms and other orbital defense systems . And when attacking this planet, the Galactic Empire also sent a larger number of warships, and at the same time suffered very heavy losses.
In other words, if the Zane Consortium starts its garbage recycling business here, they will have an almost endless supply of battleship wreckage to use!
Although Tiber Zane is young, he is extremely sinister and cruel in his eyes. It is impossible to see through what he is planning!
The only thing that can be determined is that both the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn are within the scope of his calculations!
……
At the same time, the planet Dathomir.
The extremely tall and tall yellow-skinned Zabrak with black markings pushed the door and walked into a very hidden underground base. Wearing heavy armor and looking fierce, he was apparently the Night Brother Savage-Opres who had been discovered and trained by Mother Talzin of the Night Sisters, and then handed over to Count Dooku as an assassin. He walked into one of the laboratories and saw a large bacta tank more than four meters high, filled with expensive bacta liquid.
This is top-notch medical treatment that only a few people can enjoy. The price of such a large amount of bacta liquid is completely astronomical.
Savage Opres looked up at the huge bacta tank and examined a person standing inside, connected by countless pipelines.
No, it should be said, half a person. Because this person only has the upper body, but his lower body is missing.
This is a Zabrak with half red skin, black lines, and an extremely ferocious face...
Yes, Darth Maul!
Savage Opress suddenly felt something and looked up suddenly, only to find Darth Maul opening his eyes and staring at him! In the eyes, the golden light looked extremely terrifying!
"My brother! You finally woke up!" Savage Opress was overjoyed, "How do you feel?"
Darth Maul opened his mouth and revealed The sharp and jagged teeth, the mouth moved, and the low and terrifying voice suddenly sounded around through the vibration of the Force, "Yes! I'm awake! And...better than ever!"
Savage Opress pressed the button, and the bacta liquid was immediately emptied. Inside the tank, two mechanical arms grabbed Darth Maul's shoulders to prevent him from falling.
While the glass cover was rising, Darth Maul grabbed it with his backhand, and the powerful force directly crushed the two mechanical arms into pieces. Then he slapped the jar suddenly, and boom ! ! !
The bacta jar was shot into pieces. At the same time, Darth Maul's body jumped up and landed accurately on the two mechanical legs on the other side of the laboratory. In the center of the mechanical leg, the centipede-like device pierced directly into Darth Maul's spine. The huge pain caused him to let out a ferocious roar, followed by a ferocious laughter.
"Ah!!! Hahahaha! I finally... woke up!! Obi-Wan Kenobi! Today is the day you die!!" Darth Maul laughed wildly.
Squeak~~~Woo~~~~With the sound of a mechanical motor, Darth Maul stood up with the support of his mechanical feet. He raised his feet and moved around for a while, and his movements were a bit jerky. , after all, he has been missing his legs for nearly 20 years.
"Savage, my brother, I feel a powerful force from you that is no less powerful than mine! Have you completed the training? Hahahaha!" Darth Maul asked, "Then tell me "What time is it now?"
"It has been 20 years since you were injured on the planet Naboo," Savage Opres said in a deep voice, and then he told what happened in the past 20 years. The story was roughly told.
From the failure of the blockade war on the planet Naboo, to Palpatine becoming the Speaker of the Republic, to ten years of conspiracy calculations, to the outbreak of the war, the establishment of the Clone Army... and then, the nearly three-year Clone War , the destruction of the Jedi Order, the rise of the Principality of Dawn, and the establishment of the Galactic Empire.
And the subsequent four-year siege of the planet Salukami, the destruction of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the death of Count Dooku. Finally, there is the overt and covert struggle between the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Empire, until now...
When it is almost finished, more than two hours have passed. But Darth Maul uncharacteristically listened quietly and did not do anything too drastic.
"Darth Sidious and Darth Malthael...they have actually reached this level!" Darth Maul said in a deep voice, "I have witnessed their past, One is a councilor of the planet Naboo, and the other is the governor of the planet Dawn... But in just 20 years, they have become emperors of the empire, and they have all succeeded..."
He said, With clenched teeth and a fierce look in his eyes, "I can indeed feel the vast darkness and despair from the force..."
"What did you see? My brother," Savage-Opres asked.
"This era no longer belongs to me. I have been sleeping for too long. Although Darth Sidious is my master in name, I have no use value to him." Darth Maul said, seeming a little frustrated, "It's too late."
Savage Opress said: "No, brother! We still have a chance!"
>Darth Maul was arrogant and irritable when he just woke up. Now, after feeling the boundlessness and depth of the dark side of the Force, what followed was deep despair, "I know Darth Sidious better than you do." Si! I understand all his plans! Now that he has become the Emperor of the Empire, and his master Darth Plagueis has disappeared, this shows everything that his plans have been successful, the Jedi Order and the Galaxy. The Republic has been destroyed! Darth Sidious will not leave any space for us..."
He looked to the other side and continued: "And Darth Malthael...I I don’t know much about him, and I only heard about this Sith title today, but I know what kind of existence he was 20 years ago. By comparing the two, I can see how much he has gone through. Forbearance and development! They will not allow more uncontrollable factors to appear in this galaxy... The hegemony of the galaxy is born between the two of them."
However, at this moment, Savage Opres showed a weird smile, "Brother, no one can control the entire galaxy, no one! Just like now, we are... the biggest variable in this galaxy!"
He didn’t say anything about Shen Qiaoen and the Zane Consortium just now.
"What happened to you? Where is Mother Talzin?" Darth Maul finally realized something was wrong.
"Mother Talzin, is now one of us..." Savage Opres said with an extremely proud tone: "We rise from the ruins, we are in the shadows Development! In that corner that neither the Galaxy Empire nor the Principality of Dawn can touch, we have established our own Shadow Empire!"
"This is not something you can do! Tell me, who is that!" Darth Maul's eyes became extremely fierce. He hated this feeling of being manipulated as a puppet.
"You should have heard of this name..." Savage Opress said slowly: "Darth Tenebrous..."
Darth Maul's face suddenly changed. He took several steps back and said sternly: "I've heard of this name! I've heard of it!! That's... that's Darth Plagueis's master! But whether it's Darth Sidious or Darth Plagueis, this name is rarely mentioned!”
“Darth Tenebrous, he planned all of this!” - Malthael fought with each other and developed secretly, and finally chose this place - the planet Dathomir! "
"We are on the planet Dathomir?" Darth Maul came to the door and sensed the original. Force, "No...this is not the feeling Dathomir once gave me!"
