The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

896. Priestess

Depa Birabba stood up and continued to stand behind Darth Malthael, but his gaze was already cast out of the window.

I only saw that at this time, there were no spaceships landing on the planet from the direction of the fleet, all of them were spaceships that took off from the planet, and there were also fewer and fewer.

Then, only one of the generosity-class communication frigates began to adjust its flight attitude, entered the low-altitude synchronous orbit of the planet Harlen Carr, sailed synchronously with the rotation of the planet, and aimed the main gun directly in front of the planet.

Soon, more than a dozen spaceships rushed out of the planet's atmosphere, and fired directly at the Bounty-class, obviously the smugglers who wanted to resist.

But the firepower of these small spaceships is not even qualified to vibrate the shields of the Generosity level. They were quickly shot down by the close-in firepower of the Generosity level and the vulture robot fighters, turning into balls of fireballs falling into the atmosphere.

This episode did not affect the fleet's established action plan. The Generosity-class frigate still waited for about 2 minutes and 40 seconds according to the time, before the front-end dual-mounted heavy turbolaser guns suddenly opened fire!

A thick beam of light is instantly launched from the front of the turret and enters the planet's atmosphere. The powerful energy even directly disperses the clouds above the atmosphere, forming a large ring-shaped cloud layer.

Immediately afterwards, the light beam, which was almost invisible compared to the size of the planet, directly blasted a huge explosion on the ground, which was visible to the naked eye even in space, and spread!

Then came the second shot, and the third shot!

After that, the Generosity-class frigate began to turn, the engine increased its output, broke free from the control of the planet's gravity, and returned to the formation of the fleet.

The holographic projection flickered for a moment, and a tall Neimoidian wearing a strange eyepiece appeared in the projection, and said very respectfully: "Master Dead Angel, the task is completed. erased from the planet."

An understatement, a calm process, but behind it is a cruel result.

In the eyes of others, the Generosity-class frigate just fired three shots at the planet, which is easier than buying a catty of cabbage on the street, but what was destroyed was a once prosperous city, and the people who refused to accept it in the city. The evacuated 110,000 civilians...

"Well done, General Mar Tuuk." Darth Marthael said flatly, "Our mission here is over."

"Yes. According to the plan, these Rukrihook-class ships will go to the planet Kuna's Fang to resettle refugees, and I will lead this fleet to the nearby planet Marathal to support Severance -Admiral Tann's operations." The Neimoidian general named Mar-Tuk nodded in response.

"You are the best military commander among the Neimoidians, but it is still not enough. I have high expectations of you, Mar-Tuk, don't let me down," said Darth Malthael.

"Of order, my Lord Dead Angel." Mal-Tuk bowed and saluted.

In fact, as a Neimoidian, he has a very strong self-esteem, and he would never be so respectful to a human being in normal times. But his immediate boss, Newt Gunley, the Governor of the Trade Union, urged him to maintain respect for this dead angel, so he bowed his proud head.

The communication was cut off, and it could be seen through the window that the fleet began to move separately. The 5 Rucrehook-class battleships and 10 Generosity-class frigates headed in two directions respectively. After breaking away from the planet's gravity well, a burst of white light flashed , these spaceships all entered the hyperspace voyage and disappeared.

Depa Birabha asked respectfully, "My lord, what shall we do next?"

110,000 living beings, and perhaps even more, were wiped out right in front of her, but her heart was as hard as a stone, and she showed no expression under the gorgeous mask.

"You refuse to swing your sword against the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. I will not stop you. After all, my most dangerous enemy is not the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. It is..." Darth Malthael read She glanced, "Instead, the Galactic Empire."

Depa-Bilaba's body shook violently, but the gorgeous mask concealed the change in her expression.

Darth Masail went on to say: "Adi Gallia didn't fall to the dark side, but I showed her the darkness from Coruscant, so she chose to stay and help me - of course, after I gave After her second life, she had to do the same. However, you are different..."

He turned around to face Depa-Bilaba.

"My resurrection technique is not perfect. People who are resurrected by me will lose their growth potential. Darth-Lilim is the only exception to this. I am still researching the root cause. Therefore, I put the right to choose In your hands, allow yourself to see the reality of this galaxy, and then make your choice." Darth Masail came to Depa Birabha.

Depa Birabha knelt down obediently.

Darth Malthael raised his hand, and a gem shrouded in the dark side of the Force appeared in his hand. This is the 'Supreme One', the jewel that was once inlaid on Depa-Biraba's forehead. After she abandoned this jewel, Darth Malthael took the jewel back from the jungle of Harunkar, And gave new meaning to the gem with Sith alchemy...

"True Sight, the name of this gem." He inlaid the gem on the forehead of Depa-Bilaba's mask, "The reason why I put the mask on you is because you have completely cut off your past. I hope you To be able to have a fresh start. Plus, you forcefully ripped off two gemstones that were embedded in the bone, which is basically disfigured and ugly."

"I'm going to undergo surgery right away to restore the scar." Depa Bilaba bowed his head.

"Are you sure these two scars can be healed?" Darth Malthael looked at her mockingly, "The former supreme and explorer represented all of you. After you abandoned them, what remained was not only It is not only the physical damage, but also the loss of the soul. Even the most advanced medical equipment cannot restore it."

Depa-Bilaba bowed his head in silence.

"As for your name..." Darth Malthael threw a card in front of her.

Depa Bilaba picked up the card and found that it depicted a solemn and holy woman in a white robe and a high crown.

"Depa-Bilaba, you have died today, and you will be given the name of 'priestess' afterward." Darth Malthael said.

"Thank you, Lord, for the name." Depa-Bilaba, oh no, the priestess bowed to the ground.

"Let's go, to the Delray II satellite." Darth Malthael turned his back to her and said nothing more.

Tarot, Priestess.

In the past few days, Darth Masail has been thinking about the definition of Depa Bilaba.

As a Jedi Knight, she is full of wisdom, powerful, unlimited potential, keen insight, precise intuition, but also indomitable, insisting on justice and truth. But at the same time, she became confused and doubtful about her own path, insisted on going her own way, showed her sharpness, and finally got herself into a dead end.

A priestess is the most accurate definition of her.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a name, but in the ocean of force, names are powerful...
