The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1780. Spartan Project (It’s a lot different today, I’ll check it out around one o’clock or tomorrow morning)

Tang Xiao was stopped at the space port.

If it were anyone else, it would have been a scolding at a lighter level, or a force chokehold and thrown against the wall at a harsher level.

However, the person who came was Dr. Halsey.

After seeing her, Tang Xiao finally showed a hint of joy in his brows, then waved to Darth Lilim and said, "Go to the Delei II satellite by yourself. The priestesses are already waiting. I have something to do. Needs to be dealt with.”

Das-Lilim looked at the woman with short, capable hair and delicate eyebrows in front of him with some confusion. She didn't recognize this person, but she felt a sense of hostility because she began to wonder if this was another woman of her master.

However, Tang Xiao didn't want to pay attention to her inexplicable jealousy. He just waved his hand and told her to leave quickly. At the same time, he used the force of life to heal most of Darth Lilim's injuries.

After Darth Lilium left in the shuttle, he said to Dr. Halsey: "Come here and see me. Has the Spartan Project achieved results?"

Dr. Halsey smiled and said: "Actually, it's two things. Indeed, the Spartan Project has already achieved initial results, and the other thing is that when I went to the planet Semels before, the Infinity Level The construction of the super aircraft carrier seems to be going smoothly and is almost completed. I believe Newt Gunray will give you good news soon."

Tang Xiao glanced at her with interest, "So, you came to take credit before Newt Gunray?"

"I don't dare to take credit. I just dislike that cowardly but greedy guy." Dr. Halsey said.

"It seems that when you also served as the construction consultant of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier, you were not less angry with him?" Tang Xiao asked.

"It's none of your business, you just need to see the results." Dr. Halsey said calmly, "Let me take you to my laboratory. Jango Fett is waiting for you."

Tang Xiao nodded.

He and Dr. Halsey took a spaceship to the other side of the Dawn Planet, an experimental base built on a mountain.

At the entrance of the base, there are a large number of robot guards and a huge LOGO - Halo Weapon Systems Group. This is also the group that Dr. Halsey belongs to and the megacorporation that underwrites the funding and resources needed for her research projects.

And there are two Scorpio tanks placed on the left and right, just like the stone lions placed at the door in one of the ancient traditions of the Dawn Planet. The high turrets and black muzzles intimidate all those who dare to plot evil - whether they are humans or ghosts.

After arriving at the base, two IG-100 guard robots of the same type used by General Grievous came over, carrying high-voltage electric staffs on their backs to guard both sides of Dr. Halsey.

After passing through more than a dozen security facilities and password doors, Tang Xiao and Dr. Halsey arrived at the deepest part of the laboratory.

As soon as he entered, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy running inside. Dr. Halsey quickly stopped and said, "Stop! Who let you in!"

The little boy came over. He had bronze skin, a strong body, curly hair and thick lips. He looked at Tang Xiao and said with a rebellious expression: "I know you! You are the Grand Duke! The most powerful person in the Dawn Principality!"

"Hello, Boba Fett. This is an experimental site, I think you shouldn't come in," Tang Xiao said.

"You know me?" A hint of surprise flashed across Boba Fett's face, "I thought you were a superior person."

"Since you know me, why is it strange that I know you?" Tang Xiao asked back.

Boba Fett was stunned, obviously not yet able to wrap his mind around this strange logic.

"That's enough Boba, get out." Dr. Halsey stepped forward and said.

"You are a bad woman! You are the one who makes my father miserable every time!" Boba Fett did not listen to Dr. Halsey at all, but directly contradicted him. He threatened Dr. Halsey with a raised fist.

"Shut up! Boba, come here!" A loud and deep voice came from the front.

I saw a man with a strong build and muscles as strong as iron walking over. He looked very similar to Boba Fett. It was obvious that if Boba grew up, his appearance would be exactly the same as him.

Yes, this man is Jango Fett. Boba Fett's father is also the most important experimental subject in the Spartan Project.

Of course, strictly speaking, Boba Fett is not his son. Because Boba was a clone that was specially cultivated for Jango as one of the conditions when the Kaminoans used him as the original gene to create clone soldiers, and grew at a normal speed.

"I've told you many times! You must maintain respect for Dr. Halsey! If you still have energy to vent, then give me another set of physical training!" Jango Fett scolded.

"This woman is obviously extremely weak, yet she is so arrogant just because she is protected by a guard robot! I will beat her up one day!" Boba Fett waved his fist at Dr. Halsey again.

With a snap, Jango Fett slapped him aside, "Be respectful! His Excellency the Grand Duke is also here today!"

"Yes." Boba Fett covered his beaten cheek, nodded to Tang Xiao as a salute, and then ran towards a training hall in the back.

"Has the transformation been completed?" Tang Xiao looked Jango Fett up and down and asked.

Jango Fett nodded, patted the solid muscles on his arm and said: "I have to say, this is a painful and long process. But Boba, he gave me endless strength and allowed me to persist. "

"This is the way." Tang Xiao said a slogan often said by Mandalorian warriors.

But Jango Fett shook his head, "I have given up on my path... Now I have nothing to do with the Mandalorians. I am just an ordinary mercenary. And... I also think this What you said is inappropriate."

"More than half a year has passed, haven't you figured it out yet?" Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "You reminded me that I can't say this, isn't it because of your Mandalorian dignity?"

Jango Fett sighed and said: "It's not that I really want to give up the path I once took... It's just because of the crimes I committed that I have no face to face the Mandalorian's creed..."

He raised his right hand and kept repeating the movement of clenching his fist. "They once surrounded me and thought that I was the most powerful Mandalorian warrior who could lead them to restore the glory of the Mandalorian Crusade. They trusted me so much. I, and I am also high-spirited and call myself a 'true Mandalorian'. We laugh at the weakness of Satine Kryz's new Mandalorian regime, and we also fight against the vicious Death Guard... We always believe that as long as Able to defeat all enemies, we will surely achieve our goal. But..."

He closed his eyes, "But on Galederan... everything was shattered. It was I who buried them, it was I who buried the true Mandalorians, it was I who... destroyed the beliefs and paths of the Mandalorians. .”

"The massacre on Galederan was done by the Jedi Order. And they paid the price for it. The current Jedi Order has long become ashes of the past. But you, the successor of the true Mandalorian, are still here. . Moreover, the Death Guard is also there... I can be sure that they have controlled the planet Mandalore." Tang Xiao said.

"This is also the reason why I accepted this experiment - even if I pay for it with my life!" Jango Fett clenched his fist tightly again, "Even if I am a guilty person, I will fight to the end! I must never let the God of Death Wei is so rampant!"

"So how do you feel now?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Incomparably powerful!" Jango Fett said sternly, "I am about to return to the planet Mandalore to end my relationship with the extraordinary Vizsla!"

"Going to the planet Mandalore? Even if you have accepted the transformation of a Spartan warrior, you are just looking for death alone." Tang Xiao said.

Jango Fett solemnly saluted Tang Xiao and said, "You and Count Dooku both helped me when I was most confused and desperate. No matter what your purpose is, for me, Help is help...I will spend my whole life to repay you. And Boba is here too...so, I won't die! I still have a lot to do!"

"Then what are your plans?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Find more allies." Jango Fett said, "I will look for the whereabouts of Satine Kryze and Obi-Wan Kenobi. They can help me."

"Obi-Wan Kenobi?" An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "If you find him, remember to tell him for me that he forgot something with me."

"what?"

"Ah, the mask of the hermit, and...my life." Tang Xiao's smile turned cold again.

"He wants to kill you?" Jango Fett frowned.

"Actually, I'm very happy that he thinks so. Hehehehehe..." Tang Xiao laughed sinisterly, "Anger and hatred are the best temptations for a person to fall into the dark side. If you add in some weak feelings for yourself, The feeling of powerlessness... I'm very curious, where will Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has a firm will that has never wavered, go? Hehehehehe..."

Then his expression calmed, "My intelligence department is also looking for the whereabouts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but there has been no result. Why do you think you can find it?"

"He must be in the star sector near Mandalore. I will find some old friends to help." Jango Fett said, "Your people must be struggling and unpopular on the planet Mandalore, but we are different."

Tang Xiao nodded, "Then, go ahead. I will help you take good care of Boba Fett."

"Boba will follow me," Jango Fett said.

"He is only 12 years old now." Tang Xiao said.

"But he is already a qualified warrior... a Mandalorian warrior!" Jango Fett's eyes were firm. "I asked him to come here not only to give me spiritual support, but also to It’s also to continue training him! He should be the one who inherits the will of the true Mandalorian!"

"Then, now that you have decided, I will support you." Tang Xiao said.

Jango Fett saluted again, "I will never forget your kindness to me and the Mandalorians. No matter what your purpose is, as long as it does not threaten the Mandalorians themselves, I will do my best to help you complete it. From today on, I am a pawn in your hands."

"I have only one request for you, Jango Fett." Tang Xiao said seriously.

"Please."

Tang Xiao raised his hand and patted the shoulder of Jango Fett, who was much taller than him, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the planet Mandalore and ignite the flame of the Mandalorian Crusade that has been dormant for four thousand years!"

Jango Fett was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then his eyes seemed to be ignited with blazing fire, and his fists were clenched tightly.

At this time, the door of the laboratory opened and a group of people filed in.

Seeing these people, Jango Fett's pupils suddenly tightened! Because what these people are wearing are all Mandalorian combat armors! The silver-grey beskar steel, the T-shaped tactical goggles, the full-coverage helmet and jetpack... these are all standard equipment for Mandalorian warriors!

"You..." Jango Fett was stunned.

"Chief!" A man took off his helmet, revealing a somewhat weathered but extremely determined face, "We are back! The true Mandalorian is back!"

"Rethoth!" Jango Fett recognized him, "You're not dead! You came back alive from Galidran?!"

Others also took off their helmets one after another. It was obvious that they were all known to Jango Fett and were once part of the true Mandalorians. During the Battle of Galederan, the true Mandalorian warriors were defeated by the Jedi Order and scattered in all directions!

Although these people are already over middle age, it is obvious that they are in very good physical condition and are still the invincible Mandalorian warriors.

"We are not dead. After we were defeated by the Jedi Order on Galederan, we went to the Outer Rim Star Area incognito to work as mercenaries and bodyguards, eking out a living. We didn't even dare to show too strong combat skills, because we were afraid We were recognized as Mandalorians..." The middle-aged man named Rethos said, "It was the Duke of Dawn who sent people to find us and gave us a chance for revenge!"

"We are in another experimental area. You don't know that we are here. But we know your situation." Another soldier said.

Dr. Halsey said from the side: "They are also members of the Spartan Project, but the transformation they received is simpler than yours. After all, not everyone has your willpower and physical fitness. of."

"Nezis, Badalka, Donis, Rogge, Skipper, Kapino... they couldn't hold on. They had a rejection reaction during the experiment and died." When Rethos spoke, But there was no sadness at all for the sacrifice of his comrades. On the contrary, he seemed to feel honored for the sacrifices of these people, "But they sacrificed for the revival of Mandalore! They persisted until the end!"

"Donis's internal organs were rotted, but he still asked Dr. Halsey to conduct another experiment. To replace his dilapidated internal organs... He deserved to die!" Another soldier said, punching himself hard. Chest, "This is the way!"

"This is the way!" everyone else shouted in unison.
