The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

725、return

Time passed between Tang Xiao and Kui Gang-Jin's casual chat, and another day passed.

Until a spaceship descended from the sky, the spaceship was black in color, with a ring at the tail, elegant and generous in shape, obviously a very advanced spaceship.

Astro class.

"Ah, my friend is here. It's time to say goodbye, Master Kui Gang." Tang Xiao said.

"You have already made an arrangement. If that's the case, why do you need me to go to such trouble to help you repair the communicator?" Kui Gang Jin laughed dumbfounded.

"Because the originally agreed time is still a few days away, I don't want to spend all day chatting with a bad old man like you." Tang Xiao said with a faint smile.

Qui-Gon-Jin shook his head, "We probably won't meet again."

"When the war is about to end, Master Yoda will come here. If I am still alive at that time, I will come again." Tang Xiao said.

"What did you see in the cave? Why are you so sure." Kui Gang Jin frowned.

"I saw the answer and more mysteries. Alright, goodbye." Tang Xiao waved his hand casually, and walked onto the spaceship that had already landed.

Cunte was already standing at the cabin door waiting for him, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year. Cunte didn't know when he had a big beard for himself, and he was much older than before, but the spirit in him The head still overflows all around.

"What were you talking about dancing in the air just now?" Cunter said with a smile.

"Can't you see? There is someone there." Tang Xiao said half-truthfully.

"Hehe, come on. I didn't expect you to have such a big heart. The war broke out, and you even ran out to explore alone. It's okay to explore. I knew it was dangerous and I didn't contact you for a few days. I came to you, and it turned out You are really here..." Cun Te touched his forehead.

Tang Xiao stretched his waist, patted Cun Te on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes, people also need to recharge their batteries, so that they can stay active all the time, what do you think?"

"I don't believe a single word you say." Cun Te sneered.

"Ah, then I'm so sad." Tang Xiao made an exaggerated expression.

"Okay, okay, Governor, I'll send you back to the Endor galaxy, hurry up and finish your war." Cun Te waved his hand.

"I'm not going to the Endor galaxy, take me to Nashada." Tang Xiao said.

"Why are you running to Nasada when you have nothing to do?"

"Of course it's something... the Hutt people." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he went to sit on the seat, lowered the backrest, and fell asleep on his own.

...

Hutt space, the satellite of Hutt's home planet Narheta - the moon of the smugglers, Nashada.

The black Astro-class frigate silently entered the planet's atmosphere, and the countless 10,000-meter-high spiers on the planet pierced the sky, making Nashada, which is currently in cloudy weather, look like a durian.

The reason why it is called durian is because among the many fruits produced by Dawn Planet, the Hutt people unexpectedly like this kind of fruit with a strong and mellow taste. 100 million credit points of foreign trade income.

The Astro class docked on one of the high towers, and after putting down a person, it took off and left without stopping.

Tang Xiao stood on the edge of the loading and unloading platform of the spaceport on the top of the tower, overlooking the sea of ​​clouds below his feet from here, took out the communicator, and the figure of the Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, Francis Underwood, appeared in the holographic projection.

"You are finally back Governor." Francis Underwood straightened his suit and stood still very gracefully.

"During the few days I left, nothing happened, right?" Tang Xiao asked.

"You have been away for a total of 11 days. During this period, the borders of the area currently controlled by the Fourth Civilization are basically relatively calm. Admiral Matt Horner conducted a military mobilization near the planet Terminus, but the other party Very vigilant, immediately sent a warning that if our fleet continues to approach, they will immediately accept the garrison of the Galactic Republic. Other than that, they are dealing with the remnants of the 19th Army of the Republic everywhere.” Francis - said Underwood.

"What about the Confederation of Independent Systems?"

"Earl Dooku personally sent a communication, highly appreciating our previous military action to destroy the 19th Army. In addition, he hoped that we could reinforce the planet Surust. Recently, the 18th Army of the Republic has strengthened its attack on the planet Surust." Offensive, their operations did not stop because Governor Wilhuff Tarkin was seriously injured." Francis Underwood continued.

"Where's Planet Krante?" Tang Xiao said a name coldly.

Francis Underwood was taken aback, but shook his head and said, "It was an accident..."

"There's never been an accident. Tell me why Planet Krante is under attack." Tang Xiao said coldly.

"The planet Krante is the experimental facility established by Earl Dooku after we handed over the extractor's data to him. In order to ensure a huge energy supply, an energy center was also established on the nearby planet Irene. This project is sponsored by the Trade Federation Funded for the construction, the Fourth Group, the Technology Alliance, the Commercial Guild, and the Retail Industry Association also sent representatives to join, and our representative was Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao. In fact, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies did not pay enough attention to this project. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao is in charge." Francis Underwood said.

Tang Xiao nodded.

Francis Underwood continued: "However, later, the progress of the extractor project experiment on the planet Cronte lagged behind. The main reason was that the energy supply of the planet Irene was insufficient. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao went to the planet Irene in person, To coordinate with the Trade Federation representative Prull Barron stationed there...but at this moment, a dilapidated Jaeger-class battlecruiser suddenly launched an attack."

"A tattered hunter class?" Tang Xiao frowned.

"That's right, all the signs of the Republic on the battleship have been wiped off. But the clone soldiers who landed from the battleship are indeed clone soldiers, although their combat armor looks very worn. However, it is said that this The army’s combat capability is extremely strong, and it easily destroyed our defenses. It was also during this battle that Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao disappeared. Later we found him in the ruins. He was crushed under the fragments of an exploded AAT tank. Seriously injured and still receiving treatment at Dawn Star," Francis Underwood said.

"All the planets involved in the Extractor project should be kept absolutely confidential. Why would the Republic know about this? Also, why did the Republic's warships appear in Hutt Space?!" Tang Xiao had a stern face.
