The Death Knell

"Actually, I thought Anakin would come to me in person, but I didn't expect that he would ask you to come."

Su Ming, who was sitting on the soft fallen leaves, lit a cigarette, stretched her legs with her back against the big tree, patted Harley's butt and asked her to stare at the apprentice, and then spoke to Master Ao Fei beside her.

"Actually, that's not the case. He hired mercenaries to keep an eye on Aphra's progress, and my apprentice and I have been living in seclusion in Fulanluo. Not long ago, he asked me to monitor the work of the mercenaries. But no one has called him now. He doesn’t have that name anymore, so we usually call him Darth Vader.”

The dark Jedi with a small yellow face smiled, and she smiled with a sense of innocence, because she was not very old, and was only in her forties this year, which was considered young among the Jedi.

"Oh? Don't you hate him? Not to mention that Order 66 killed your master and all the colleagues in the medical class, but you yourself were justly arrested and imprisoned by him, right?"

Su Ming looked at the war lines on the opponent's face with great interest. The freckle-like lines were actually light scales.

"Are you talking about the incident when I blew up the hangar? There was another hidden meaning in that incident. It was a trap set by the Sith for both sides...and there are not many Jedi left now. Hate He can’t solve any problems.”

Paris patted her black robe with her hands. She and her apprentice changed clothes in the grass before meeting people, changing the brown cloth robe into an embroidered dress:

"I have a hunch that maybe this war between the Rebels and the Empire is also a mistake. It will make our galaxy weak, so I must unite all the forces that can be united."

After hearing this statement, Su Ming couldn't help but look at her again.

This time Aoife was right again, because according to the timeline of the old canon, six years after the Rebel Alliance defeated the Empire and established the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong arrived in the galaxy and launched a genocidal massacre.

The gods they worship are claimed to be eight, but in fact there are only seven, because the war god Yun-Yamka was deliberately created by the priest caste after the caste system was formed to inspire the fighting spirit of the warrior caste, but does not actually exist.

The extragalactic civilization that roams the universe on the "World Ship" regards the Milky Way as a place of revival given to them by God. They want to occupy this place and then sacrifice all the pagans to the true God.

Once they fought, half of the galaxy was lost. The Yuuzhan Vong's biotechnology was very powerful, and the weak and decayed New Republic was losing ground.

Within two years, Corsanlo, which was the rotating capital at the time, fell. The New Republic government existed in name only, and had to be reorganized into an alliance government to go into exile. It also united with the remaining forces of the empire, Sith warriors and all other effective forces to reluctantly launch Counterattack.

The war lasted for five years. Half of the urban planets in the galaxy were transformed into jungles or burned with glass. 300 trillion people of various races in the galaxy were sacrificed, and the number of more people who were bombed along with the planets cannot be counted.

Aoife was right, but not quite.

Because even if the Rebels and the Empire ceased war now, they would still be beaten to pieces by the Yuuzhan Vong.

Whether it is technology, fighting will, or the physical fitness of individual soldiers, the Yuuzhan Vong are much stronger than these civilizations in the cradle of the galaxy. They cannot learn to beat others without being beaten first.

Inside the institute, Su Ming believes that at least some of the root causes of the internal problems must be solved. War can sometimes help, as long as you don't blow up planets for fun.

"You're right, Master Ao Fei, I also foresee some futures, which are indeed not good." Deathstroke handed the master a bottle of mineral water and gestured to chat while drinking: "But do you have a solution to this problem? "

"I don't have it, but you should have it, so I'm here." The female Jedi happily took the water bottle and drank it without hesitation, acting very calmly.

The air in Haven IV was very bad, but the Jedi Master ignored it.

"You're right. In fact, this war can be ended easily. You only need to kill Darth Sidious to make the empire leaderless. Anakin, as his apprentice, can legitimately take over the command, and then ..."

Deathstroke told part of the plan, and he knew the other party could understand it.

"I think he thinks so too. The emperor is suspicious of him, and he also wants to kill the emperor. If he can succeed, peace may come."

"It's impossible. Except for Princess Leia, who is still reasonable, other people within the rebel army and the financial backers behind the rebel army will not allow them to talk." Su Ming shook his head and took out a bottle of wine himself. He took a sip: "So I have a deal to talk to Anakin. Give me these troublesome things, and I will fulfill his most pressing wish."

"...Do you know what his wish is?" Baris hesitated, her eyebrows squeezed together.

"It's very simple. He turned to the dark side of the force originally because of the misunderstanding with Padmé. Now he is pursuing power just to resurrect that woman." Deathstroke said lightly, and used the light ring to project the image. Image of Queen Padmé: "If I help him resurrect his lover, he will trade the empire because he has no interest in politics."

"It seems you really know." Master Ao Fei opened his mouth, looking a little surprised, but then nodded: "According to what I know about him, it is indeed possible for him to do this now."

Of course, Anakin's joining the dark side was not without reason. Naturally, he couldn't have joined because he thought the dark side of the Force was cooler.

He has always had his own purpose. Maybe at first he simply wanted to become stronger and end the war, but after killing Obi-Wan, he learned something from the Jedi heroes.

Soon his guilt for his wife, his longing for his family, his regrets about the past, and his physical pain were all tormenting him.

And all this tired him out, and he didn't want to take on more.

"Of course, because Anakin possesses both light and dark forces. He never thinks of himself as a Sith, but always says that he is a Jedi." Su Ming spread his hands and looked at the stars in the sky: " He has a good side in his mind, so he's more like a Jedi."

There is no distinction between light and darkness. As long as there is power, use it. This is typical pragmatism.

"But it won't work without force. Your life force may be able to resurrect Padmé, but the forces of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire may have other ideas."

Ao Fei sighed and rubbed her head, because people's hearts are the hardest thing to grasp, and sometimes deterrence by force is necessary.

Even if Anakin can control the 501st Regiment and the Guards, other Imperial generals also have their own hard-core troops, and the generals on the Rebel side also represent different behind-the-scenes forces, otherwise they wouldn't be called the Rebel 'Alliance'.

"Don't worry about this, I have already prepared it." Deathstroke patted his butt and stood up, looking at the spaceship repair work that was almost in progress in the distance: "You are here just in time, I want to ask, do you know where the black ones can be found?" Force crystal?”
