The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

758、Apology

"This... this is..." Looking at the holographic projection, Newt Gunley was dumbfounded.

Then Earl Dooku's thick and magnetic voice sounded, "I don't know what happened between you and the dead angel, and I don't want to know. But, seeing this, you should understand what the dead angel's credentials are. "

"He is using public opinion...?" Newt Gunley said.

"That's right. I suspect that he was already thinking about this idea when he was promoting the battleship Fang and the Titan battleship Plague. He even foresaw the destruction of the Fang... because of what we previously publicized The destruction of the Venom, one of the two super giant ships, has brought public opinion to the brink of eruption, but it is the Plague's brilliant performance on the planet Trigalis that temporarily suppresses this process." Dooku said the Count.

"So... after the Fang was destroyed, the Plague became the only spiritual pillar of the Confederacy of Independent Systems?" Newt Gunray thought of this.

"Star warships, star generals, in a sense, it is true." Earl Dooku stroked his snow-white beard, "If General Grievous had not also severely damaged the Republic fleet during the ceremony offensive, even I am now Admiral Severance Tann must be awarded the marshal's scepter immediately."

"...That is to say, if I really destroy the Plague, then I will become a sinner of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies?" Newt Gunley's face turned blue.

"And you are also a sinner of the Galactic Republic." Earl Dooku added.

Newt Gunley was discouraged all of a sudden, lowered his head and said: "But... But, Lord Sidious, he will kill me! He will definitely!"

Count Dooku looked down at this cowardly wretch, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in the corner of his eyes. However, considering the terrifying wealth in his hands, Earl Dooku still smiled slightly and said, "Lord Sidious will not kill you, but I am sure that he will be very angry at your disobedience."

"You must save me...he will kill me, I don't want to die..." Newt Gunley begged.

Count Dooku shook his head and asked, "Why did you come to me instead of the dead angel?"

"I couldn't find him at all. He just told me that he was going to win the war and that he was going to kill me. But I don't even know where he is..." Newt Gunray said eagerly.

After all, he was still the governor of the dignified trade union. Even if he told a little lie amid such fear, his face would not change and his heart would not beat. According to the way Darth Malthael taught him before, he said half-truths and half-truths.

"He wants to win this war...?" Count Dooku pondered the meaning of this sentence, "In other words, he thinks Sidious doesn't want to win?"

"He did hint so." Newt Gunray said with his head bowed.

"Hmph." Earl Dooku snorted coldly, and then said: "It's better not to get involved in the matter between Darth Sidious and the Dead Angel. They, the Sith Lords of the previous generation, It is not surprising that there is anything dark and powerful in it, this is not a field you can touch."

But Tang Xiao is obviously very young, why does Earl Dooku seem to be like an older generation of monsters? Such a thought flashed in Newt Gunley's mind, but he just continued according to the previously determined statement: " I don't know what happened at all... The Plague suddenly appeared in Cato-Nimoidia, and I was completely unprepared!"

Earl Dooku smiled coldly, raised his finger, and a black communicator flew into the hands of Newt Gunley by itself, "Apologize to Lord Darth Sidious."

Newt Gunley dropped the communicator as if grabbing a red-hot iron lump, "No, no, no! He will kill me, he will kill me! He himself told me to destroy Plague, but I didn't follow..."

Count Dooku walked over in person, bent down to pick up the communicator, and put it in Newt Gunley's hands, "You will not be killed by Lord Sidious, at least for now, I can assure you of this. And If you still don't apologise, his anger will grow stronger with each passing minute. Maybe at some point, he will actually kill you."

Newt Gunray tremblingly picked up the communicator, hesitated for a long time, then glanced at Count Dooku again, and then connected to the communicator after Count Dooku nodded again.

A moment later, the figure of Darth Sidious wearing a black cloak appeared in the holographic projection, with half a hideous and distorted face exposed under the hood, and said in a tired voice: "Ah, this is not my dear Are you the Governor of the Trade Union? Are you here to tell me the good news that the Plague has been destroyed?"

Newt Gunray's body trembled violently, but at this moment, a force from the dark side suddenly swept through his heart. At this moment, the figure of Darth Malthael seemed to flash before his eyes, It immediately calmed him down a lot.

At the same time, Darth Sidious seemed to have noticed something, and the golden eyes under the hood suddenly looked to the other side, "Count Dooku, you are there."

Count Dooku took a step forward and appeared in the projection range, knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "My lord, I am here."

Newt Gunray said tremblingly, "The Plague, was not destroyed. On the contrary...it destroyed the 7th Squadron..."

Darth Sidious's voice became cold, "So, maybe I was too quiet before, and you didn't hear me?"

"I...no, I heard...but...but the Plague..." Newt Gunray incoherently wanted to make things easier for himself.

"I don't want a person who disobeys my order to live!!" Darth Sidious gritted his teeth, raised his hand and grabbed Newt Gunray's neck by the extremely powerful force of the dark side. , and then lifted his whole body up.

Newt Gunley kicked his legs in despair, looked at Count Dooku and wanted to ask him for help, but Count Dooku just knelt on one knee and remained motionless, with no intention of saving him at all.

I don't know how long it took, when Newt Gunray had already started to roll his eyes, Darth Sidious raised his hand, and Newt Gunray was thrown out immediately, hitting the table with a bang, rolling Landed on the ground for a long time without any movement.

At this time, Earl Dooku said slowly: "My lord, the name of the Plague is widely spread in the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to act rashly, and it may even expose your plans."

"So, you have a plan?" Darth Sidious said coldly and slowly.

"At least, this is not something that a wimp like Newt Gunley can do." Earl Dooku said.
