The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

757、It’s timid as a mouse.

"You must save me, I don't want to die! Lord Death Angel!" Newt Gunley pleaded loudly to Tang Xiao in the holographic projection, "Master Sidious, he will not let me go!"

When he saw the good news from the planet Cato Neimoidia, Newt Gunley knew something was wrong, and now he began to worry about gains and losses again, and the determination he had made before was thrown into the sky again.

During the Cato-Neimoidian star raid, the 7th Squadron of the 2nd Army of the Galactic Republic was almost wiped out, even including 6 of the 7 capital ships.

The two Commander-class dreadnoughts that served as flagships were successively destroyed by the Plague, and one Prosecutor-class battlecruiser was besieged by a large number of Coyote robot bombers while rescuing the flagship, and finally lost control and crashed on a satellite.

Two other Prosecutor-class battlecruisers and one Governor-class battleship were also destroyed in the battle.

Of the 7 giant battleships in the 7th Squadron, only 1 Commander-class dreadnought returned with injuries. In addition, the fleet has a total of 3,000 fighter jets, only more than 800 have returned, and other small and medium-sized warships have suffered countless losses.

Moreover, more than 200,000 Republican Navy died in this battle, which can be said to be quite tragic. Among them, only more than 3,000 of the 86,000 crew members on the 2 Commander-class dreadnoughts survived. The other large warships were also old-fashioned warships, so many crew members died along with the warships.

After the battle, the Titan battleship Plague did not leave, but temporarily joined the defense sequence of the planet Cato-Neimoidia, and began to receive repairs and supplies locally.

Because of the presence of this terrifying warship, the Galactic Republic urgently recalled all reinforcement fleets that were heading towards the planet Cato-Neimoidia.

It is conceivable how angry Darth Sidious, who wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Titan battleship Plague, was.

It's no wonder that Newt Gunley's legs became weak as soon as he saw the battle report, and ran over to Tang Xiao for help.

"You know, now you should call me...Tang Xiao, well, it's better to add the title of governor." Tang Xiao said with a smile.

"Lord Sidious will definitely kill me, he will!" Newt Gunley panicked.

"Okay, now you know who he is, so you should understand that he will not leave Coruscant casually." Tang Xiao said seriously, "So, as long as the war is not defeated, you will be safe forever."

Newt Gunley said eagerly: "But...he will...you will..." He didn't know how to describe it for a while, so he could only make random gestures.

Tang Xiao suddenly said, "Oh, you mean this?"

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and a force of force brushed against Newt Gunley's neck like a breeze. Newt Gunley, who had already been like a frightened bird, jumped up with a loud cry, and sat back on the ground.

Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "Of course I can prevent Darth Sidious from dealing with you like this. However, in this way, he will understand our relationship, and maybe you will be even more troublesome."

"Then he will definitely kill me, he will definitely..." Newt Gunley was terrified.

"Go to Earl Dooku." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"Earl Dooku? Isn't he Darth Sidious's apprentice? If you look for him, you're going to kill yourself!" Newt Gunley was shocked.

"No, Earl Dooku was actually deceived by Darth Sidious. After all, no one wants to be a victim, right?" Tang Xiao said with a smile, "Go to Earl Dooku and tell him Darth Sidious S-Sidious told you to destroy the Plague, and you didn't, so that's it."

"He'll kill me too!" Newt Gunley yelled.

The smile on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth became a little sinister, "This is your only way of life, Newt Gunley. If you dare to come to Dawn Planet at this time, then you should understand that you will only die faster. "

He moved his fingers, and the force of the dark side brushed against Newt Gunley's neck again, and then closed the communication with a sneer.

Newt Gunley sat on the ground with a dull face, and it took a long time before he stood up tremblingly.

"Are you sure this will succeed?" Helmut Zemo's voice appeared next to Tang Xiao.

Sitting at the desk, Tang Xiao looked sideways out of the window and said indifferently: "It must be successful. The trade alliance is just the beginning. My real goal is to get Earl Dooku out of Darth Sidious completely." Control! Only in this way can we survive the war. For this goal, I can pay any price."

"So that's why you haven't revealed Palpatine's true identity?" Zemo said.

Tang Xiao took a sip of the cold coffee on the table, and said: "The Jedi Order is still strong, we need to wait for them to be further weakened by the war. Moreover, if Palpatine's true identity is announced now, we will lose Dooku." The Earl's...then it's up to us to fight Darth Sidious alone."

He stood up, walked towards the door, and added by the way, "The way to die."

He put on a black cloak, went to the secret hangar platform specially prepared for him in the mothership Glory, and drove his own plane with the same name as 'Red Comet'. A super Viking fighter jet flew towards the planet Hoth.

In that direction, a new storm is beginning to brew.

...

Newt Gunray finally mustered up the greatest courage, went to the planet Serenno, and met Count Dooku.

After the past, he didn't dare to hide it, and told about the raid on the planet Cato Neimoidia by the Titan battleship Plague, and then told Earl Dooku that Darth Sidious asked him to take the opportunity to destroy the Plague, but He did not follow suit.

Not only did they fail to do so, but they also cooperated with the Plague to completely wipe out the Seventh Squadron of the Republic...

Count Dooku just quietly listened to Newt Gunley's speech, then stood up, waved his hand, and the holographic projection on the side was turned on by an invisible force, switching to the official news channel of the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies.

【Cato-Neimoidia planet victory! The Titan battleship Plague suddenly appeared in the core circle of the Republic, and wiped out the Seventh Fleet of the Republic in one fell swoop! 】

[The fleet of the planet Cato-Neimoidia has completely broken free, and will now threaten the heart of the Galactic Republic at all times! ! 】

[In the latest round of polls, more than 65% of the voters agreed to award Admiral Severance Tann the honor of Admiral of the Navy! 】

Not only that, but the video screen is constantly playing the densely packed wreckage of Republic warships on the battlefield outside the planet Cato-Neimoidia.

Especially the huge bodies of the two Commander-class dreadnoughts, one was broken in two, and the horror scene of the other being directly punched into a big hole was even more stimulating to people's nerves.
