The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

355. The Battle of Naboo (7)

Schiff Palpatine, who was attending a political rally on the Pelami orbital space station, had to end the rally early and return to Coruscant. Although he wanted to stay in the rally, a series of emergencies on the planet Naboo forced him to return to Coruscant. Instead of remote control, at least the two idiots Newt Gunley and Rune Harkle won't really screw things up.

Because just yesterday, after he ordered Newt Gunray to kill the two Jedi Knights who went to the planet Naboo to mediate, Newt Gunray did not mention this matter again, including the fact that they occupied Naboo When the whole planet captured Queen Amidala, it also didn't mention it when they sent him the good news.

Darth Sidious only thought that the two Jedi knights had been killed, just like what he did on the Injori planet with the remote-controlled mercenary Velma, killing the Jedi knights is for his layout It's not such a difficult thing.

Now that the planet Naboo has been occupied, all that remains is to get Queen Amidala to sign the surrender treaty as soon as possible, so that he can turn upside down in the parliament to legalize the occupation of the trade alliance.

"Newt Gunray, since you have captured Queen Amidala, she must have signed the surrender treaty by now?" Darth Sidious asked in the communication.

"Hmm...that...Lord Sidious..." Newt Gunley's expression was terrified, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Sidious's expression, "The queen...she disappeared..."

"What did you say? She disappeared?!" Darth Sidious was stunned for a moment. Even if the city was as well-preserved as he was, he was almost furious at the news, but he couldn't lose his composure. He could only forcefully express the anger in his heart. Press down, force to be calm.

"Yes, when we escorted Queen Amidala to the concentration camp, those two Jedi knights suddenly attacked the escorting team, rescued the queen, and even robbed a spaceship of the Naboo royal family, breaking through our blockade The line escaped..." Newt Gunray said with his head bowed.

He also understood that what he did was really stupid, even if the queen was rescued, he actually let them snatch the spaceship! It's fine to grab the spaceship, but the blockade of 60 Luke Hook-class cargo ships was broken by a Naboo royal spaceship? !

This is really a disgraceful failure to say it out loud!

Newt Gunley kept making excuses in his mind. For example, the spaceships on the blockade were all cargo ships, and only 10 of them were equipped with turrets, and the coverage of the installed turrets was very unsatisfactory, and the vulture robot fighters they carried were all escorting C-9979 The landing ship has gone into the atmosphere of planet Naboo, and is not in the blockade.

However, as expected, Darth Sidious's fury did not come. He just said coldly: "I want you to find the queen, capture her and sign the peace treaty! The time I can procrastinate in the council is limited!"

"But... we don't know where her spaceship went..." Newt Gunray's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Sith, omnipotent!" Darth Sidious said through gritted teeth, he beckoned, Darth Maul came over and stood behind him, looking fiercely at the two idiots in front of him, "This is me Darth Maul, his apprentice, will help you find the Queen and kill those two Jedi Knights!"

The communication was turned off, and Lune Harkle looked at Newt Gunray in horror and said: "Things are getting out of hand! How did I not know that there was a second Sith! How many of them are there?! We started from the beginning. You shouldn't make a deal with such a terrifying existence!"

"Don't mention it again! At least they can help us sit in a high position and rule the entire trade union!" Before the terrifying figure of Sidious, Newt Gunley somewhat recovered some majesty, he snapped Said: "The most important thing now is to find Queen Amidala as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the time drags on for too long, the Congress of the Republic will really trouble us!"

He looked at the planet Naboo outside the porthole, and said: "Scatter our entire fleet! Go to all the surrounding galaxies to find the traces of Queen Amidala, and make sure to catch her!"

"But what about the planet Naboo?" Rune Harkle asked.

"The battle on the planet Naboo is over! We have already occupied the planet, so naturally we no longer need to block it, and we still have an army of 2 million robots on the planet. It is impossible for the planet Naboo to have any power that can match it !Leave our flagship as the robot control ship, and the other spaceships will start immediately!" Newt Gunley said firmly, "And this will also relieve some of our political pressure."

...

At the same time, with the help of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the miraculously escaped Queen Amidala and her party also encountered trouble.

When they broke through the blockade, the engine of the spaceship was hit by the firepower of the trade alliance blockade fleet, and the hyperspace engine was damaged. They had to fly to a nearby planet for help, and the target they chose was the planet Tatooine.

"An armed conflict comparable to a civil war broke out on the planet Tatooine a year ago. It is definitely the most dangerous to go to this planet now." Panaka, the Minister of Security who escaped with Queen Amidala, said.

"Since this is the case, our enemies will not think that we will come here. In short, Tatooine is located in the Hutt space. As long as we don't provoke the Hutts, we will not have too much trouble, at least not more than now. Oops." Qui-Gon-Jin said, "Until we fix the hyperspace engine, we can't open the communication, otherwise they will be tracked by them."

"There are two big cities on the planet Tatooine, Mos Eisley and Mos Espa Port, where are we going?" Obi-Wan Kenobi asked.

"Let's go to Mos Espa Port, the chaos there can just protect us." Qui-Gon Jinn made a decision.

The spaceship landed at Mos Espa Port. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to try their luck in this city that can be described as a refugee camp, a slum, or simply ruins. A maid of mine also insisted on going with them.

In the chaotic alleyways of the city, Qui-Gon Jinn suddenly saw some Kali people in black uniforms patrolling around in the crowd. Dare to be angry but dare not speak, whenever they see these Kali people, they bow their heads and leave.

"Be careful, don't be noticed by those Kali people." Qui-Gon-Jin pulled Obi-Wan and said in a low voice: "I heard Master Ki-Adi-Mundi said before that they were on the planet Ceria. It happened in the Civil War, and it was the Kali of Titan Security, they belonged to the Fourth Group, and they were with the Trade Federation."

"Planet Seria...the fourth group...the security of the giant god..." Obi-Wan Kenobi hid in the shadows, looking at those Kali people with cruel faces, some bad memories came to his mind.

But fortunately, because these Kali people are too fierce, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, no matter what they want to do in Tatooine, they are struggling, and those residents don’t buy their account at all, Qui-Gon-Jin and the others Neither was found.
