The Death Knell

On Yavin IV, Deathstroke and his team watched the Imperial walking mecha slowly moving in the forest in the distance and staying in one place. Every time the steel behemoth took a step, they could hear the sound of the forest falling. .

This four-legged mecha is 22 meters tall. It looks like an elephant many times larger. It moves a bit slowly, and its only weapons are a few laser cannons on its head. Even for an armored personnel carrier, it has too few weapons. a little.

This is like building a tank weighing more than 40,000 tons, but only installing a machine gun on it. If such an ordnance designer lived in the age of the father of steel, he would definitely be sent to the Gulag to mine. , isn’t this a waste of resources?

Aphra hid in the shade of the tree, holding a telescope, and observed carefully for a while, then put down the electronic equipment and said to Deathstroke: "In addition to the mechas, there are three platoons. After the rebels withdrew, the emperor was still searching for people here. Base, this makes it somewhat difficult for us to enter the Massasi Temple."

This Yavin galaxy is where the Battle of Yavin took place. The Death Star crashed into the ocean of Yavin V two years ago. There are many mercenaries or treasure hunters fishing there.

Thanks to their cover, it was not difficult to enter this galaxy. The Empire also turned a blind eye to those people picking up the rags of the Death Star. Anyway, it was enough to acquire valuable things in advance.

However, the security on the Yavin IV is still tight, because the former rebel base is in the temple not far away, and now the empire is searching that area.

"I missed the Battle of Yavin." Master Ao Fei looked at the Yavin V in the sky, as if he wanted to see the shadow of the Death Star in the blue water ball: "But who could have thought of such a weapon that can destroy the planet? , it was there one day and disappeared the next day, it was really a dramatic scene.”

"If you participate, which side will you be on?" Aphra pinched her chin to think about a strategy. She didn't want to make a big splash, because the empire's fleet was still in orbit.

"Which side are you on? Do you mean the empire or the rebels?" Baris smiled and shook her head. She put her hand on the hilt of her lightsaber and rubbed it: "I will probably stand on my own side and try to reduce casualties. .”

"The Death Star blew up Alderaan, and the billions of people on it were turned into ashes. The Rebels blew up the Death Star, and hundreds of millions of people on both sides died in that battle." Aphra shook her head. , she didn't want to say anything more to a woman who was full of illusions about peace: "You alone can't change the war. In the end, you can only become a bystander like me."

It was the occurrence of this incident that solidified Aphra's idea of ​​defecting. She did not mind the empire's powerful rule, but it was really difficult to accept Tarkin's terrorist behavior.

If you want to kill people, just kill them. Why blow up the planet?

If the planet is bombed, the history and culture that exists on it will be gone.

Explode one today and another tomorrow. Although there are currently hundreds of thousands of known colonized planets, they cannot withstand such explosions.

If they are all blown up, won’t archaeologists become unemployed one day in the future?

Therefore, the imperial commanders who destroyed the planet are all scoundrels and are Aphra's lifelong enemies. This is the last insistence of an archaeologist, who must leave ancient evidence for future generations to examine!

Even though she is a lesbian, theoretically she will not have any offspring.

"I believe in the Force of Life. According to the previous saying, I am a Dark Jedi, but I am essentially a doctor. It is my responsibility to treat diseases and save people, no matter who that person is." Master Ao Fei did not deny it, she frankly stated her shortcomings, and explained his research direction: "So I have been thinking about how to prevent the emergence of war, because once it occurs, it will not change."

"Excuse me, two ladies." Mechanical Wolong interrupted the exchange between the two parties. He raised a metal finger: "According to my analysis, if you want to achieve the results you want, it is best to need a An iron hand comes to hold the Milky Way's throat, and only absolute power can protect the people."

"Darth Vader also said so." Aphra licked her nostrils and walked towards the Emperor's direction: "But he wants to use the dark force to influence everyone and unite the entire galaxy under the dark side of the force. I think it’s not practical.”

"Alas" Baris also sighed. She pulled up her hood and hid her yellow face in the shadow.

"Okay, those are not issues you should consider. Aphra, I understand your worries." Su Ming walked out from the shade of the tree, his red eyepieces shining like will-o'-the-wisps: "But you have to keep your eyes open Farther away, you can also dig graves outside the Milky Way. You have dug all over the Milky Way, and there is also the Andromeda Galaxy. After Andromeda, there is still the Triangulum Galaxy, and hundreds of billions of extragalactic galaxies."

Still having the same observational power as if he could read other people's hearts, Deathstroke directly expressed the archaeologist's worries and gave a solution.

"Uh, but when you said that, I felt like there was endless work to do, as if my enthusiasm for archeology was instantly wiped out." Aphra's face suddenly stretched, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously.

"Okay, the teleportation array leading to the destination is here. We must enter the Massasi Temple." Su Ming ignored the girl's fickleness and looked into the distance again: "It was inadvertently destroyed in the Kaibo Temple. After that, this is the only road we have left, so don’t make too much noise, and it’s best not to let the empire notice.”

"Three platoons of white soldiers." Master Ao Fei calculated and kept twisting his fingers: "You can let me and the apprentice give it a try. As long as there are no Siths, we should be able to distort their thinking, just like they can't see Like us."

"The walking mecha asked me to come out. In addition to being the best archaeologist in the galaxy, I am also the best programmer." Aphra smiled and touched her nose with her finger, looking very proud.

However, San0 showed his head from behind her, hugged the murder jar, and translated: "What my master means is that she is the master of the strongest programmers in the galaxy."

Yes, how can humans crack electronic systems faster than robots?

Although bt is a killing tank with a variety of light and heavy weapons inside the cylinder, it is essentially a navigation robot that can crack various systems and perform equipment repairs. Of course, it is also good at it.

"Ah, it's so annoying! Did I let you talk? Come with me." Aphra jumped up, stamped her feet a few times, turned around and pushed the two robots away: "I'll start taking action now, Master Ao Fei , don’t hold back, let the emperor send out a distress signal and that will be the end of it.”

"Ouch!!!" The Wookiee laughed and followed with his own explosive crossbow.

"It's really like a family." The Jedi Master drew out his lightsaber and lit it up. Her weapon was the standard Jedi green: "Let's go, my apprentice."
