The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

612、Go one

After finishing the communication, Earl Dooku stood up and saw Darth Malthael leaning against the shadows with his arms folded. Although he couldn't see clearly, the pair of cold eyes under the hood showed looked at him with a playful look.

"I need an explanation...Dead Angel." Count Dooku said in a deep voice, "The Dark Harvester can effectively attack the Republic, but you just let this powerful weapon be destroyed in front of you? You don't think we already have Enough power to contend with the Republic?"

"You didn't understand what I said to you before, Darth Tyranus." Darth Malthael said lightly, "The Dark Reaper is indeed powerful, but this thing is not yours after all. , it doesn’t matter if I come to Planet Thule or not.”

Count Dooku's face darkened, he knew what the other party meant, he couldn't defend the Dark Reaper under the attack of the Jedi Knights, even if Darth Malthael helped, so what? Will Malthael deliver the Dark Reaper to him? And on a deeper level, even if he really kept it, this thing still didn't belong to him.

The Dark Reaper, belonging to Darth Sidious.

It's not that he doesn't understand this, in fact, it's exactly the same. He just didn't point out the dead angel's shot in front of Darth Sidious.

"Between the Republic and the Confederacy, what do you want to do?" Earl Dooku asked.

"There is no conflict between me and you. Do you know Darth Plagueis?" Darth Malthael asked back.

Earl Dooku didn't answer. He had heard about it, but he really knew very little, especially Darth Sidious, who had never mentioned this name to him.

"Then you should know Hego Damask II, right?" Darth Malthael asked again.

Count Dooku's face changed slightly, but he still said flatly: "Is it him? I should have known."

Darth Masail said: "I'm not interested in knowing what Sidious promised you. But, what you desire most, he will never give you. Because...he is just an ignorant Just traitors."

He raised his hand and waved, a head of a clone soldier brought back from the battlefield just now flew in, and then a force of life was injected into the head, and the head that had been dead for a long time suddenly opened. Opening his eyes, he looked around with cloudy pupils, then he opened his mouth as if he wanted to scream, but a stream of blood flowed out from the cut in his throat, and he died again, his expression stayed on endless horror.

"I can show you more, about the power of immortality, Darth Tyranus. Think about it, what do you want..." Darth Malthael finished speaking, the hatch suddenly opened, A mercenary who was on guard outside came in, his face was ashen, holding a spherical device with a diameter of about 1 meter in his hand.

It is the core of the Dark Harvester!

"It seems that you are here for the Dark Reaper, don't you?" Earl Dooku said with a cold expression.

"That's right, this super weapon no longer belongs to the Jedi Order, nor does it belong to Darth Sidious...it belongs to, us." Darth Malthael sneered, walked over to the dark Reaper core in hand.

And the mercenary looked blank, like a zombie.

Earl Dooku stared sharply, drew out his lightsaber and strode forward to stop him, but then he was blocked by an invisible barrier, and this invisible force even directly knocked him to the ground.

At this time, another equally dull mercenary in the cabin next to him had already opened the hatch of the spaceship, and Darth Malthael turned into a black mist and flew out.

At the same time, a red spaceship disengaged its cloaking device and revealed its figure. It has been flying in sync with Count Dooku's spaceship!

After receiving Darth Malthael, the Sith infiltrator activated the cloaking device again and disappeared into thin air...

When he left, those mercenaries immediately fell to the ground like puppets on broken strings, becoming corpses that had been dead for a long time.

Count Dooku squatted down. He immediately judged that these corpses had been dead for at least ten minutes. Recalling what Darth Malthael said just now, he said to himself, "Eternal life...?"

After thinking about it, he picked up the communicator and connected to Tang Xiao's frequency band, but was told by his assistant that Tang Xiao was now attending a press conference, speaking publicly in front of the world, to boost the morale of the war.

Count Dooku turned on the holographic net on the spaceship, looked at Tang Xiao who was speaking, and fell into deep thought.

...

Back in the Endor galaxy, on the mothership Glory, Tang Xiao carefully hid the core of the Dark Reaper in the secret room, together with Little Kleish's gauntlet. With his public identity, he naturally couldn't Always wear this gauntlet.

Looking at the collection of these two ancient Sith empires, which were called artifacts, Tang Xiao suddenly had a feeling that he was a big villain boss. Among other things, if you kill him, you will already lose equipment, and it's still an orange equipment.

"I've already got the item back, and because of it, I have to appear in front of Count Dooku ahead of time, which doesn't match my plan." Tang Xiao said coldly.

"But it's your only chance to get it, and sooner or later it will have a huge effect on you." Lucian Del Rey's voice came.

"Let me just believe you this time." Tang Xiao said, and immediately cut off the power of death.

He took a private elevator to his office, sat on the sofa, and began to look through some documents he had left in the past few days.

After a while, the office door opened and Tang Xiao walked in.

Tang Xiao looked at the person in front of him who looked exactly like himself, and suddenly felt very funny, he laughed outright, "Hahahaha, you are Tang Xiao?"

"I'm Tang Xiao." The man said.

"Come on, walk a few steps for me." Tang Xiao said.

"Take a few steps." The man obediently walked up and down in front of Tang Xiao.

"Go out like a tiger!" Tang Xiao said again.

"Go wild." The man repeated.

"Walk a thousand miles away!" The smile on Tang Xiao's face could no longer hold back.

"Walk thousands of miles in a day." The man continued to repeat, walking back and forth mechanically.

"Walk out...hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" Tang Xiao couldn't continue, he burst out laughing, he didn't know why, he just felt that the scene in front of him was very absurd and very funny.

Some memories that don't belong to this world gradually emerged... He laughed crazily, and the corners of his eyes seemed a little crystal clear.

He knew that the one in front of him was just a T-850. According to the pre-set program, it replaced Tang Xiao in that speech, and the time was at the same time that Tang Xiao met Earl Dooku.

According to the procedure, the T-850 was carefully planned when, what tone to use, and what expression to make, so as to ensure that no one would see any clues.

The important thing is not to let Count Dooku associate Tang Xiao with Darth Malthael.

Tang Xiao laughed wildly for a while, then suddenly raised his hand, and the powerful force of the dark side exploded, tearing the T-850 apart! Artificial blood splattered everywhere, and he yelled with a ferocious face, "You are not me!! You are a fucking robot!!!"

Then he returned to his seat, his face extremely gloomy, as if the laughter just now had never happened.

The voice of the mastermind came: [Governor, according to the schedule, you should go to the planet Cave-Bill in 2 hours. Arroyo Barlow of the Salari engineering team is waiting for you to participate in the maiden voyage of a new generation of destroyers ceremony. In addition, the first batch of Martha-class heavy cruisers has also been completed, waiting for your inspection. 】

Tang Xiao stood up, and his expression had returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Clean up this place, mastermind. You should inform Professor Arroyo in advance, and I will go to see him in advance."

【yes. 】
