The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1022. Lose? win?

"This is clearly a coup!" Anakin Skywalker hid in the dark and roared in a low voice.

Ahsoka Tano also looked blank, "Tian Xingzi, I don't know us...we..."

Jar-Akbar has resolutely rushed out from his hiding place. He ignored the countless underwater combat robots around him, and also ignored the hostile eyes of countless Quarrens around him, and went directly to Li-Cha Beside Prince Er, snatched him from Nossori's grasp, and guarded him tightly behind him.

He stared at Nossori and Edra Ketis with hostility, but Edra Ketis didn't move, just said coldly: "Let your friends of the Republic go away."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and swam out of the city. Those A-Q series underwater combat robots also turned around and left one after another.

"The war is over, Captain Jar-Akbar. Think about the future of our planet Dak." Nossori said lightly.

"What should we do?" In the hidden corner, Rock-Johnson looked at Anakin and asked.

"Separatism, what the hell is going on!?" Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth, "We must report the situation here to the Jedi Order."

"Then, did we win or lose?" Ahsoka Tano asked a question.

Anakin was also caught by this seemingly simple question. He shook his head and did not speak. Instead, he avoided the robots and swam towards his army.

...

The planet Mon Calamari, which had been in a mess, suddenly and strangely ceased fire, and the armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic also retreated from the war zone, and the two sides maintained a confrontation on the sea.

All captured Mon Calamari were released from the concentration camp cities, and the concentration camp cities were de-alarmed and no longer used as concentration camps.

The Mon Calamari planet once again held a planetary council. This time, there were no special envoys from the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, and only representatives from the Mon Calamari and the Quarren were present for the discussion.

However, this time, the Mon Calamari, who had just experienced a disastrous defeat in the civil war, no longer had any more confidence. Their prince—Lee Char was also downcast, and only Captain Jal Akbar was still standing upright behind him. , became his strong backing.

Before the parliament was held, Nossori had already set the tone for this parliament—he first announced the expulsion of Councilor Mina Thiers, no longer recognizing her identity, let alone the exile she established in Coruscant government.

Afterwards, Nossori announced that he would seek to run for election as the acting king of Planet Dak, and made his promise in the parliament for his future policy:

First, there will be an effort to have the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic withdraw their troops from the planet and stop interfering in the internal affairs of the planet.

Second, he promised to bring peace to the planet Dak, which would declare itself neutral in this galactic civil war.

Third, he will vigorously develop the planet's industry, improve the planet's industrial and economic level, and never allow any foreign enemies to interfere in the planet's internal affairs.

Fourth, he will be committed to eliminating the discrimination between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren, and is committed to promoting the integration process of the two races. The first thing is to restore the name of the planet Dak, the planet of Mon Calamari The title will become history.

Finally, he promised that after the end of this galactic civil war, he would abdicate immediately, return the throne to Prince Lee Char, and never run for king again.

This kind of governance program made it impossible for the Mon Calamari to refuse. Apart from other things, Prince Lee Char's performance in this interplanetary civil war is completely unable to convince the inhabitants of the planet, including the Mon Calamari themselves.

In the end, Prince Lee Char accepted Nossori's request. He temporarily abdicated and continued to study and train as the prince of the planet Dak. Nossori was the acting king of the planet Dak—yes, the planet Mon Calamari This title has become history.

For the already homeless Senator Mina Thiers who is far away in Coruscant at this moment, this is nothing less than a bolt from the blue. At the core, an independent organization of the Mon Calamari was established, refusing to accept the policies of the Nosori government on the planet Dak.

But because the Quarren people have already had such a precedent - the Quarren Isolation Alliance of Tieks, this organization of Mina Tiers is also dubbed the Mon Calamari Isolation Alliance, and they are all regarded as extremist racists treat.

They can no longer speak for their planet.

At the same time, Anakin Skywalker and others have returned to the Republic battleship on the planet Dak, and have contacted Coruscant.

They can't describe this battle. If they failed, the separatist forces were also driven from the planet Dak, but if they won, they were at a disadvantage both militarily and politically. This feeling Make them miserable.

After discussing with the Jedi Order and the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, Master Windu gave the order to withdraw the troops.

"I still can't understand this battle..." Anakin Skywalker said with his head down.

"Well... we lost the planet Mon Calamari." Master Yoda shook his head and said heavily, "Conspiracy, separatism."

Hearing this, Anakin Skywalker bowed his head, speechless.

At the end of the meeting, everyone else disconnected the communication one after another. At this time, only the speaker, Schiff Palpatine, said to Anakin in a kind voice: "Master Yoda is not accusing you, Anakin, you are still the best Jedi Knight, this time the defeat on the planet Mon Calamari has nothing to do with the battle, it is not your responsibility."

Even though he said that, there was a tone of comfort inside and outside the words. In fact, he was admitting that Master Yoda was accusing him.

"Although the planet Mon Calamari claims to be neutral on the surface, their ruler is friendly to separatism. This is indeed a failure, Mr. Speaker." Anakin Skywalker sighed.

"Actually, what I want to say is, Anakin, we are in an era of war. Do you know why this is the case? This is because we are still restraining ourselves with the values ​​​​of the peaceful era, which is wrong. Indeed, I cannot deny that this is a failure, but should you really be responsible for this failure? Think about the process of the battle..." Palpatine's voice was as inducing as the whisper of a demon.

"You fought bravely and defeated a superior number of enemies. You turned the impossible into the possible on the battlefield, and you are still the same you. Then think about it again, what are the links that really failed?" Palpatine smiled, " So take it easy, it's not your fault."

"I..." Anakin was thoughtful, and his fists were tightly clenched, "I should have been able to save more people!"

"That's why, in my opinion, you are the best Jedi Knight, Anakin. It's not about strength, it's about your heart... As I said just now, don't let the values ​​of peacetime bind you, It just makes you weaker," Palpatine said.

"I... I will try my best." Anakin Skywalker nodded.
