The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2370. Battle failed

Thrawn now looks like an angry lion. The aura emanating from him made Feng Bi take several steps back even through the holographic projection.

"Ah... this... oh! Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I got carried away." Feng Bi had cold sweat streaming down his forehead and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"That's enough! Tell me what you want to say this time! Starting from tomorrow, you are no longer qualified to talk to me directly!" Thrawn said sharply.

"This...isn't this right! General..." Feng Bi was shaken all over. This unexpected development seemed to make him even more nervous and frightened.

"Say!" Thrawn had already turned his back, leaving behind this cold word and the majestic back.

"Yes... Now that General Chiara has been demoted to major general, the planet Hisra is trying to find ways to block the news of the failure, but it doesn't matter. We have controlled many news channels and have spread the news. I believe that soon, the Kingdom of Dawn will The news of the destruction of the main fleet will spread throughout the Qisi Territory!" Feng Bi said.

He glanced at Thrawn, but found that the other party was still facing away from him and had no intention of speaking, so he swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "Now, the Kingdom of Dawn is intensifying its attack on Chiss." Reinforcements from the leader, a large number of transport ships and battleships are entering. This is our opportunity... I, I have found out the location of the star gate, and I can actually..."

"Assault on the Star Gate?" Thrawn turned his face sideways with a sarcastic smile, "Why? Just because I want to die?"

"No, no, no..." Feng Bi quickly waved his hand, "I mean, we can take the opportunity to rob some transport fleets, which can replenish our supplies. I have mastered the routes of at least three transport fleets here..."

"This is the realistic choice. Minister Feng Bi, give me the route." Thrawn suddenly smiled and turned to face Feng Bi. "We must learn to respect our opponents. Next time, don't talk like this."

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, yes..." When Feng Bi heard this, he seemed to forgive himself, and nodded quickly, as if he was tampering with garlic.

After receiving the data of the three routes, Thrawn waved his hand and closed the communication.

Then, he turned around and looked at the dark universe outside the porthole, falling into silence.

Colonel Taremi said: "General, this guy Feng Bi... seems..."

"Prepare to retreat. Our battle in Chisland has failed." Thrawn said.

"Ah?" Taremi didn't react at once, "General, although the authenticity of Feng Bi's words is doubtful, but to say failure..."

"He probably originally wanted us to raid the transport fleet, and there should be a fleet from the Kingdom of Dawn ambushing us there." Thrawn said, "But... I just found an opportunity to get angry, and let Feng Bi think it was His last opportunity was to affect me, so he planned to propose a more attractive target, so he changed it to Stargate. After discovering something was wrong, he changed his mind again and became the target of the transport fleet. "

"But that doesn't mean our operation failed..." Taremi said.

Thrawn shook his head and said: "He showed no signs of being interrogated, and his expression was full of confidence and determination. This is not what a traitor should be after being exposed. From a common sense point of view, he should be interrogated and tortured, and then Being bribed again, but under such circumstances, people's eyes are erratic. The most important thing is that they are affected by their repeated betrayals. There is uncertainty. Because once a person betrays twice, he will undoubtedly enter the situation of betrayal and separation. However, he is obviously not. He is full of hope for his future and he is extremely confident about his choice. Firm. There is only one possibility... Almost the entire internal network we built, including him, has been uprooted. "

"You can tell so much from just one look?" Taremi was shocked, and at the same time full of respect for Thrawn, "Is this what you said you wanted to confirm just now?"

"No. But it doesn't matter anymore. The result is the same. Evacuate immediately and return to the empire!" Thrawn said.

"Yes!" Taremi nodded quickly and immediately made arrangements.

Although the process took a big circle, and the reasons for evacuating were different, the reason why he came to find Thrawn in the first place was to leave here.

While Taremi was conveying instructions for all battleships to prepare for departure within an hour, he looked back and saw on the other side that Thrawn had also gone to the navigation control department and was talking to the dark Jedi in charge of the fleet's hyperspace navigation. What, he was gesturing on the holographic star map from time to time, probably planning an evacuation route.

Obviously, Thrawn attaches great importance to this retreat, otherwise he would never plan the route himself like this.

With such a simple communication with Feng Bi, he went from a situation where he had just brought the power of victory and a promising future to a situation where he was like a bereaved dog and needed to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise he would have a narrow escape? Taremi felt that her brain could no longer keep up.

An hour later, the dark Jedi there issued a jump command to the navigator, and the entire fleet immediately turned on the hyperspace engine and disappeared in an instant.

For the next two days, Colonel Taremi felt that his fleet seemed to be circling under the leadership of General Thrawn. Thrawn was really cautious. He almost always stood in front of the star map to think, then consulted the dark Jedi Knights on some questions, and then thought again. He repeated this several times before issuing a new jump order.

How could the dark side user have such patience? Finally, this time, he and General Thrawn had a fierce quarrel. If it weren't for the other two backup dark Jedi Knights coming over to pull them apart, the angry dark Jedi Knight might have drawn his lightsaber.

Taremi also looked at the star map, and he understood why the dark Jedi Knight was angry. Because they were only one jump away from Celwis, and the recent "entanglement" situation meant that there would be several temporary hyperspace channels near Celwis that could lead to the outside world.

But Thrawn asked for another detour, which made the dark Jedi Knight feel that Thrawn was teasing him. After all, Force navigation was not an easy task.

The quarrel stopped after the dark Jedi was pulled away. Thrawn ordered again, started jumping, and prepared to take a detour.

The dark Jedi walked to the navigation console with a curse and reported a set of coordinates. The navigator immediately entered the coordinates and pressed the button to start jumping.

Thrawn frowned at this time, turned his head and said angrily: "What coordinates did you just report? Say it to me again!"

"Coordinates that allow you to return to your shabby shack to cool down earlier, you lowly Chiss!" The dark Jedi sneered.

Thrawn fell silent, his expression was very ugly, and Taremi felt that the anger in Thrawn began to heat up.

"Then congratulations, you have brought us into the encirclement. Mr. Dark Master." Thrawn said coldly.

A moment later, Bai followed the dazzling white light, and the fleet left the hyperspace and appeared near the planet Servis. And here, there are more than a dozen warships, ready for battle!
