The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2254. The black hand that stirs up the situation

"Hahahaha!" A loud laugh full of mockery echoed in a luxurious palace.

I only saw a young man with long silver hair, a sinister face and a scar on his face, drinking and having fun with two beautiful women who were only wearing a few pieces of clothing.

This terrible man was the leader of the Zain Group and Shen-Jon's favorite disciple - Tiber Zain.

"You mean, that guy Super-Vizla took the initiative to provoke a war, but in less than a week, he shouted in front of a group of civilians that he couldn't bear it? Hahahaha!!" Tiber Zain laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

His confidant, Ulai-Fen, stood in front of him and said calmly: "That's right. He originally thought that the war would end within two or three days, but it lasted for more than a week, and he only captured a city controlled by the rebels, such as Sekbi. When the rebels began to counterattack, he had no supplies at all."

Tiber-Zane raised his hand and pushed the two women around him away. He was very strong, and this time he pushed them to the ground and rolled several times, hitting the wall. Although the two women felt pain, they dared not say a word, but retreated with tears in their eyes.

"Then what? He came to me crying and begging for things again?" Tiber-Zane said with a grin.

"He didn't cry for his parents. On the contrary, he threatened us." Ulai-Fen said lightly, "He said that if we don't support him to win the war, he will hand over the planet Mandalore to the Galactic Empire."

Tiber-Zane showed an exaggerated expression, "Oh~~~hand it over to the Galactic Empire! Our Super-Vizla is really thoughtful and hits our vital point at once! What should I do? I'm so scared... Tell him that there is not even a small can of blasting gas."

"I suggest that we can provide him with a little supply, at least so that he can support until the coronation ceremony in five days." Ulai-Fen said.

"Well, it makes sense. Let's do it." Tiber-Zane thought for a while and waved his hand, "Give him some thoughts and let him be crowned in a grand manner. Ah...Super Mandalore, what a loud name, this will definitely be the most famous ruler in the history of the Mandalorians!"

"Then, when he starts the ceremony, those who kill him and interrupt the ceremony will become heroes." Ulai-Fen said slowly.

"Who is our brave hero? Jango Fett or Bo-Katan Kryze?" Tiber Zane said, and laughed again, "Hahahahahahaha!"

After laughing for a while, his expression suddenly froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "Serri, how is she?"

"She is now in Narshada, the moon of smugglers, and is ready. She has already talked to Black Sun." Ulai Finn said: "Just wait for Savage Opress to meet up with her, and then we can take action against Black Sun."

"Hahaha!" Tiber Zane stood up, walked to the window and opened his hands, letting the sun shine on his bare chest. His solid muscles were covered with scars. It is not difficult to imagine how much pain he suffered when he was trained by Shen Jon.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time. It's time for them to take the stage..." Taber-Zane grinned, "Darth... Maul."

"Hahahaha!"

"Ahahahahaha~~~!!!"

The devilish laughter echoed in the air through the window.

In the distance, a tattered Hunter-class battlecruiser was dropped from the sky, and countless fragments and parts began to fall in mid-air.

Rumble... The battleship fell on the wreckage, making a dull roar, like thunder. However, there was no fire or explosion. When the battleship was dropped, all fuel and energy supplies had been removed.

On the ground, there were piles of spaceship wreckage and countless robot wreckage. In mid-air, countless engineering robots and engineering spacecraft were sorting and processing these countless fragments, and then dismantling the useful things.

The warships that can be seen in this scrap iron mountain range include the Hunter-class, Victory-class, Rookery Hook-class, Divine Will-class, Generosity-class, Resister-class, and many other warships. You can even see the wreckage of warships of the Principality of Dawn, such as the Cole-class and the Higra-class.

This is the planet of Salukami.

It was once one of the main battlefields in the Clone Wars and the longest-lasting battlefield. This is the last fortress and fleet assembly place of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

After Darth Vader captured the planet Salukami, it also announced the demise of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

However, now, Tiber Zahn has expanded the garbage disposal business of the Zahn Consortium to here! This is simply incredible.

Especially now that the Zahn Consortium is now regarded as a criminal group by the Galactic Empire, they can still continue to smuggle warship wreckage so blatantly and carry out recycling and transformation business.

There is only one answer - the Zahn Consortium has received the support of a powerful person in the Galactic Empire, and this is definitely not official support.

The planet Salukami once gathered thousands of capital ships of the Federation of Independent Systems, plus tens of thousands of small and medium-sized warships of various types, as well as a large number of armed space stations, Gauss defense platforms and other orbital defense systems. And when attacking this planet, the Galactic Empire also sent a larger number of warships, and at the same time suffered very heavy losses.

In other words, if the Zane Consortium starts its garbage recycling business here, they will have an almost endless supply of battleship wreckage to use!

Although Tiber Zane is young, he is extremely sinister and cruel in his eyes, and it is impossible to see through what he is planning!

The only thing that can be determined is that both the Galactic Empire and the Principality of Dawn are within the scope of his calculations!

…

At the same time, the planet Dathomir.

The extremely tall and tall yellow-skinned Zabrak with black markings pushed open the door and walked into a very hidden underground base. Wearing heavy armor and looking fierce, he was apparently the Night Brother Savage-Opres who had been discovered and trained by Mother Talzin of the Night Sisters, and then handed over to Count Dooku as an assassin.

He walked into one of the laboratories and saw a large bacta tank more than four meters high, filled with expensive bacta liquid.

This is top-notch medical treatment that only a few people can enjoy. The price of such a large amount of bacta liquid is completely astronomical.

Savage-Opres looked up at the huge bacta tank and examined a man standing inside, connected by countless pipes.

No, I should say, half a person. Because this person only has the upper body, but his lower body is missing.

This is a Zabrak with half red skin, black lines, and an extremely ferocious face...

That's right, Darth Maul!

Savage Opress suddenly felt something and looked up suddenly, only to find Darth Maul opening his eyes and staring at him! In the eyes, the golden light looked extremely terrifying!

"My brother! You finally woke up!" Savage Opres was overjoyed. "How do you feel?"

Darth Maul opened his mouth, revealing his sharp and jagged teeth. He moved his mouth, and the low and terrifying voice suddenly sounded around him through the vibration of the Force, "Yes! I'm awake! And... Better than ever!”

Savage Oppress pressed the button, and the bacta fluid was immediately emptied. Inside the tank, two mechanical arms grabbed Darth Maul's shoulders to prevent him from falling.

While the glass cover was rising, Darth Maul grabbed it with his backhand, and the powerful force directly crushed the two mechanical arms into pieces. Then he slapped the jar suddenly, boom! ! !

The bacta jar was shot into pieces. At the same time, Darth Maul's body jumped up and landed accurately on the two mechanical legs on the other side of the laboratory. In the center of the mechanical leg, the centipede-like device pierced directly into Darth Maul's spine. The huge pain caused him to let out a ferocious roar, followed by a ferocious laughter.

"Ah!!! Hahahaha! I finally... woke up!! Obi-Wan Kenobi! Today is the day you die!!" Darth Maul laughed wildly.

Squeak~~~Woo~~~~With the sound of a mechanical motor, Darth Maul stood up with the support of his mechanical feet. He raised his feet and moved around for a while. The movements were still a little jerky. After all, he had lost My legs are nearly 20 years old.

"Savage, my brother, I feel a powerful force from you that is no less powerful than mine! Have you completed your training? Hahahahaha!" Darth Maul asked, "Then tell me, what time is it now? !”

"It has been 20 years since you were injured on the planet Naboo." Savage-Opres said in a deep voice, and then he roughly recounted what happened in the past 20 years.

From the failure of the blockade war on the planet Naboo, to Palpatine becoming the Speaker of the Republic, to ten years of conspiracy calculations, to the outbreak of the war, the establishment of the Clone Army...and then, the nearly three-year Clone War. , the destruction of the Jedi Order, the rise of the Principality of Dawn, and the establishment of the Galactic Empire.

And the subsequent four-year siege of the planet Salukami, the destruction of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the death of Count Dooku. In the end, there was the overt and covert struggle between the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Empire, until now...

By the time I was almost finished, more than two hours had passed. But Darth Maul uncharacteristically listened quietly and did not do anything too drastic.

"Darth Sidious and Darth Malthael... they have actually reached this level!" Darth Maul said solemnly, "I have witnessed their past. One was a councilor from the planet Naboo. , one is the Governor of the Dawn Planet... But in just 20 years, they have become the Emperor of the Empire, and the Duke of Dawn, they have all succeeded..."

He said, clenching his teeth and showing a fierce look, "I can indeed feel the vast darkness and despair from the force..."

"What did you see? My brother," Savage-Opres asked.

"This era no longer belongs to me. I have been sleeping for too long. Although Darth Sidious is my master in name, I have no use value to him." Darth Maul said , seemed a little frustrated, "It's too late."

Savage-Opress said: "No, brother! We still have a chance!"

Darth Maul was so arrogant and irritable when he just woke up. Now, after feeling the boundlessness and depth of the dark side of the Force, he was deeply desperate. "I know Darth Sidious better than you! I know all his plans! Now he has become the emperor of the empire, and his master Darth Plagueis has disappeared without a trace. This has explained everything. His plan has succeeded, and the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic have been destroyed! Darth Sidious will not leave us any room..."

He looked to the other side and continued: "And Darth Malthael... ...I don't know much about him, and I just heard about the title of Sith today. But I know what kind of existence he was 20 years ago. Comparing the two, we can know how much forbearance and development he has experienced! They will not allow more uncontrollable factors to appear in this galaxy... The hegemony of the galaxy will be created between the two of them. "

However, at this moment, Savage-Opress showed a weird smile, "Brother, no one can control the entire galaxy, no one! Just like now, we are the biggest variable in this galaxy!"

He didn't say anything about Shen-Jon and the Zahn Consortium just now.

"What happened to you...? Where is Matron Talzin?" Darth-Maul finally realized something was wrong.

"Madam Talzin, you are one of us now..." Savage-Opress said with great pride: "We rose from the ruins, and we developed in the shadows! In the corner that neither the Galactic Empire nor the Principality of Dawn can reach, we have established our own Shadow Empire!"

"This is not something you can do! Tell me, who is that!" Darth-Maul's eyes became extremely fierce. He hated the feeling of being manipulated like a puppet.

"You should have heard of this name..." Savage-Opress said slowly: "Darth Tenebrous..."

Darth Maul's face suddenly changed, he stepped back several steps, and said sternly: "I have heard of this name! I have heard of it!! That is... that is Darth Plagueis's master! But both Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis rarely mentioned this name!"

"Darth Tenebrous planned all this! He played both sides between Darth Sidious and Darth Malthael, developed secretly, and finally chose here-Dathomir Planet!"

"Are we on Dathomir Planet?" Darth Maul came to the door and sensed the Force, "No... This is not the feeling that Dathomir once gave me!"
