The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1025. Planet Taris

"Planet Taris... Moore's amulet is not here, so what did you find here?" Darth Malthael said.

"Clue." Xerakas said, "There is an invisible and powerful force covering its existence. I don't know if it is the will of the original force itself, or this amulet has its unique ability. If it is the former, That's going to be exciting because it means the 'channel' is working."

He extended his telepathy to Lucian Del Rey's spirit, allowing him to hear himself too.

"What is the 'channel' you have been talking about?" Lucien Del Rey asked, but then he paused and said immediately, "I know what you are talking about... Force Technology. If you don't If something goes wrong, the Jedi Order will seal this technology, and they already had this intention in my time. It’s just that the Sith Empire is still there, and they still need the power of Force technology.”

"Is this kind of force technology... the passage, the reason why an artifact like Moore's amulet can burst out with the largest amount of energy in the smallest size, and it will last thousands of years?" Darth Malthael Said.

"That's right, and once the force technology is involved, it will be another technology system that is completely different from the current one. Sometimes, it can't even be called technology, maybe it's more like...mystery." Lucien De Ray replied.

"So is there anything you can tell me about Force technology?" Darth Malthael asked.

"I won't say a single word, and I can tell you that the Jedi Covenant Temple in the Dray II satellite does not have any records about Force technology." Lucian Dray said.

Darth Malthael said coldly: "You should know that I will develop it sooner or later, right?"

"At least before that, the Milky Way will have a few more days of stability." Lucien Del Rey said lightly.

"What? Don't you think the Milky Way is not chaotic enough?" Darth Malthael mocked.

"Believe me, it will only get worse." After Lucien Del Rey finished speaking, he stopped talking, and his phantom disappeared. It seemed that he understood that he could no longer stop Darth Malthael in this matter, so he chose out of sight out of mind.

The spaceship entered the atmosphere of planet Taris and passed silently in the air. Although he couldn't understand the words written by the Protoss, Darth Malthael was still able to judge that the Protoss transport plane was in a state of radar stealth.

Its unique material and aerodynamic shape make the radar reflection area of ​​the spacecraft undetectable. This is just an ordinary aircraft of the Protoss. Just from this small detail, it can be seen that the technological capabilities of the Protoss are completely Above the entire Milky Way at this stage.

Although these technologies are basically still in the think tank given to them by Darth Malthael, waiting for the scientists of the protoss to unlock them.

And because the number of protoss is small, this process may be very slow. Darth Malthael can only hope that when the technology and industry of the protoss reach a large scale, he can still guarantee sufficient technological advantages... After all, the Galactic Republic and The scientific research department of the future Galactic Empire is not vegetarian either.

This sleeping Milky Way is waking up...

"This is also... the reason why I came." Darth Malthael raised his hand and put it in front of him, looking at it, but he didn't know what he was looking at.

The protoss transport plane directly avoided the sparsely populated residential areas on the planet Taris, and flew directly towards the largest continent on the planet.

Judging from the planetary scanning map, this continent occupies more than three-quarters of the entire planet's land area, and it looks a bit like the Earth used to be the Pangea Continent.

But now on the planet Taris, there are close to 1 billion people remaining, but none of the cities or settlements are built on this continent.

And with the high-speed flight of the protoss transport plane, the endless blue sea outside the window suddenly changed into endless... black gray.

This is a continent completely made of black and gray... There are black and gray dust everywhere, covering the sky and covering the sky, almost covering the sun. In the black clouds in the sky, from time to time, there are lightning that does not come out, and there are dull lightning. Rumble.

Nothing can be seen on the ground, only some black mountains are undulating up and down, and there are some withered black jungles.

The transport plane began to descend, and then, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in front of it! It was a city of incomparably large scale!

The city is completely in ruins, but you can still see the wreckage of some of the buildings that once towered into the sky. Even if some buildings are cut off in the middle, they are still thousands of meters high, which shows the prosperity at that time.

But all of this has turned into a lifeless scorched black.

With Darth Malthael's current vision, he can clearly see many distorted corpses on the city streets when flying through the air. These corpses are all scorched black, and they don't know what state they are in. In short, it still maintains its shape after thousands of years, just like some black jungles I saw along the way.

It also took some time for the transport plane to fly over the city, which shows the size of the city! Back then, it was at least a super city with a population of hundreds of millions.

In Darth Malthael's mind, there was a sigh from Lucien Del Rey.

Afterwards, the transport plane landed next to a mountain range, where there were ruins of a small town, which should be a mining field.

"In the war 4,000 years ago, the planet Taris was occupied by Sith for a long time, but then the power of Sith was defeated. However, when the two sides were at war, the planet suffered a devastating orbital bombing, It was almost destroyed once, and has not been able to recover until now. The once prosperous planet with tens of billions of people now has less than one percent of the population left, living on some formerly remote islands and subcontinents." Das- Marsayr said.

He took out a full-coverage protective mask and put it on himself. This place was destroyed by unknown weapons, and the air was full of harmful substances. The countless micron-scale dust clogged him, and before the whole body's functions were completely destroyed, he died of painful suffocation.

With Darth Malthael's current strength, he can naturally move freely here, but after all, there is no need to waste force in such a place.

"I also learned some of this history from the records." Xerakas said, "But what I pay attention to is not the destruction and wars that often occur in the universe, but the whereabouts of the amulets."

As the hatch opened, Talim, the guardian of the shirak tribe's temple with purple-spotted skin, jumped down first, kicking up a large cloud of black dust.

Immediately afterwards, Xerakas also jumped down, completely ignoring the dust that stained his fine clothes immediately, and it seemed that he was not as elegant as he looked.

Darth Malthael stepped off the spaceship, looked at the lifeless surroundings, and cast a searching look at Xerakas.

"Celeste Morne, one of the members of the Jedi Covenant, according to the literature, Lucian Del Rey once asked her to find and destroy Morne's amulet. According to Lucian's judgment, this amulet is very It might be hidden here—in the dungeon of Planet Talis," Xerakas said.

Darth Malthael walked all the way, towards the mine.

The mine pit is dark, and nothing can be seen. The black dust filled the entire cave, and there was a humming sound from inside from time to time, maybe it was the wind, maybe it was something else, "Celeste-Moen got Mu I can only see this place in the Force, and the rest are very blurry."

To be precise, it was because he hadn't watched the plot very carefully before he traveled.

After watching it all night, it turned out that it was to pick up the plane.

Well, I strongly condemn and seriously protest.
