The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1908. Spark (4)

One day, the little girl came and told Ahsoka Tano that the Milano family in the village had moved away. They had acquaintances on the planet Salest, found a job, and were planning to go there.

"Planet Salust? That's not from the Principality of Dawn..." Ahsoka Tano frowned.

"Shh~~~~" the little girl quickly raised her index finger, "My mother only told me this after the Milano family moved away. You must not tell others!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell you. Don't tell anyone else." Ahsoka smiled and touched the little girl's head.

But at this time, her heart was full of doubts. Because she found that the imperial officers seemed not to care at all about the immigration and departure.

If they came here to organize production, shouldn't they be so relaxed about immigrants? If this continues, with their current high-pressure policies, everyone with the ability and spaceships will definitely leave. If this continues, where will there be enough labor?

But this doubt cannot be answered, and Ahsoka Tano can only continue such a low-key life.

More than a month later, after the second round of high-energy crops began to sprout and grow, the farmers on Lada discovered something was wrong. The high-energy crops planted this time have very, very developed root systems that can penetrate several meters underground to absorb nutrients, and even grow out of the ground, covering a large area of ​​farmland!

Not even weeds can grow around this high energy crop! In the fish ponds next to some farmlands, a large number of fish died, but the imperial officers just coldly asked the farmers to chop up the dead fish and use them as fertilizer.

Moreover, this crop requires more nutrients and more watering. In order to take care of them, the imperial officers began to ask the farmers to increase their workload.

The overwhelmed farmers once again wanted to resist. It is said that resistance movements also broke out in villages elsewhere on the planet, but were suppressed by the Imperial Army.

In her own village, Ahsoka Tano, in order to prevent these farmers from losing their lives in vain, after discussing with everyone, she suggested that everyone should be passive and slow down the work. This new high-energy crop requires a lot of effort to take care of. Once farmers start to slack off, the output will definitely decrease. This will buy more time for everyone to rest and prevent soil damage. so serious.

But this illusion of non-violence and non-cooperation was soon broken again by the Galactic Empire. People began to discover that these imperial soldiers were organizing land reclamation teams to reclaim land around them, and even used primitive but efficient methods of burning land to reclaim more farmland!

What does this mean? It shows that they don’t care about the damage to the soil caused by these high-energy crops! There is no plan to distribute fertilizers to farmers! All they want is to drain all the nutrients from this planet and then leave!

No wonder they don't care if people immigrate and leave! Because they have never thought about things like 'this will last forever'!

Ahsoka Tano once again returned to the cave behind her work shed to meditate, but she still couldn't calm down. That night, there was lightning and thunder in the sky and heavy rain. Ahsoka Tano did not return to the work shed. She just sat at the entrance of the cave, letting the cold wind blow against her body and staring blankly at the sky. Lightning flashes continuously.

At this moment, she suddenly frowned, and the Force induction told her that there was a young life struggling in the direction of her work shed!

She quickly jumped up and ran towards her work shed like flying.

But he only saw the little girl from the Larter family crying and running towards her work shed in the heavy rain. Ahsoka Tano quickly hugged her and took her back to the shed.

"Sister Ashla! Please save my father!" the little girl cried.

"What happened!" Ahsoka Tano asked.

As the little girl cried, she finally understood the whole story - after finally discovering the imperial army's intention to squeeze out every ounce of value from the planet Lada and then leave, violence broke out in many places. More and more uprisings are coming.

Their village had been relatively peaceful before. They only went to negotiate with the imperial army, hoping that they would at least leave some way for people like them to survive. But at this time, the imperial officers were like a cat whose tail was stepped on. When they heard this, they immediately became furious. They arrested all the more than ten farmers who came to petition, including the little girl's father.

Ahsoka Tano was silent...she was silent for a long time.

The little girl lowered her head in disappointment and whispered: "I'm sorry, Sister Ashla. I'll go to Brother Hoban and ask..."

She broke out of Ahsoka's arms and tried to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Ahsoka Tano said suddenly, "I'm going to get something. Here, wait for me."

She returned to the cave again, reached the deepest part, dug away the grass and soil, and revealed a small box. Opening it, there were some sundries inside, including a Jedi Padawan decoration, an old Galactic Republic military communicator, a DC-15 blaster rifle, and a very ordinary metal lightsaber hilt.

Ahsoka Tano picked up the communicator that had destroyed the communication function and pressed the button.

I only saw the small projection device on the communicator projecting the ferocious and sinister image of Anakin Skywalker. He kept repeating, [Execute, Order 66! 】【Execute, Order 66! 】……

With a click, the communicator was crushed to pieces! Ahsoka Tano ignored her bloody palm, her hand wavered on the hilt of the lightsaber, and ultimately failed to pick it up.

She picked up the standard DC-15 blaster rifle used by the clone army during the Galactic Republic and put it on her back. She returned to the work shed and said to the little girl, "Let's go and save your father."

"Sister Ashla!" The little girl's eyes finally sparkled.

That's...the light of hope!

Ahsoka Tano moved forward firmly during this thunderstorm night. She saw a fire burning in the direction of the village from a distance, but her eyes became more determined and no longer confused!

"If this is destiny...then I can only...resist to the end!"

…

Lux-Bontry wrapped his black cloak tighter around himself, allowing his body to blend into the darkness as much as possible.

He stood on a hill, overlooking the brightly lit city below - Izzy City, the capital of the planet Onderon.

But now this beautiful city, which has gone through the war and was later rebuilt and developed, seems to be full of hypocrisy in the eyes of Lukes-Bontry!

His mother, Mina Bontri, once fought to the end for this planet, but what was the result? Publicly beheaded by separatists!

unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! !

He turned around and looked at the dozens of black figures behind him, his expression gradually becoming ferocious. (End of chapter)
