Chapter 944: King of the Swarm: Anakin Skywalker?
In the battle of Geonosis, although the small battleship squadron led by Nova succeeded in raiding and annihilating the "armed merchant ships" of the Trade Federation in the orbit of the Geonosis planet, it turned out that it was nothing more than the Trade Federation The part responsible for transporting b1 battle robots is just the transport fleet, they still have more warships, and an endless army of cheap robots!
Because, even in the Battle of Geonosis, the Federation of Heroes fleet belonging to the Galactic Republic won a complete victory, but, as time went by, more galaxies fell...
The Federation of Heroes Fleet, which claims to have thousands of battleships, the newly compiled "Great Republic" with those terrifying battleships as the main body, mixed with many warships and armies of other races, and the extremely cheap one, as long as you have money, you can buy it. Compared with the b1 battle robots that can be produced in large quantities, they are still a little insufficient, so they can't completely defend the increasingly chaotic republic territory of the huge Galactic Republic!
Anyway, after suffering a loss, the Federation of Independent Galaxies began to become cunning. They played guerrilla warfare tactics with the parliament, and relied on their numerical advantages to attack and occupy galaxies everywhere, so that within a short period of time, even Let the "Great Republic **" be a little tired, and have to focus on defending the core galaxy, and then let the rebels wreak havoc and grow in the outer galaxy.
"Everyone..."
"The cruel facts have proved that to us. The Federation of Independent Galaxies was not easily defeated by us. It is said that the Trade Alliance alone has hundreds of thousands of warships... and we defeated it. Just a few hundred ships?"
"..."
On the high tower of the Jedi Council, Senator Palpatine, who was in a meeting here, paused after saying this, thinking about what he was going to say next, and at the same time began to look up at the people present. The woman Nova who made him dread, the supreme speaker of the parliament, Phoenix Valorum, Master Yoda and Master Windu of the Jedi Council, and some important members of the conference.
"As far as I know, the former Jedi Master, Count Dooku, gained enormous power and unbelievable wealth after he inherited the title of Count Sereno..."
"If, together with his main minions, those congressmen from the commercial guilds, trade unions, interstellar banking groups and technology unions, etc., they can be said to be a group of huge wealth. It has surpassed the chaebol group of the Republic!"
"thus……"
"I would like to implore all of you here, please be sure to carefully consider the previous proposal in the parliament: we need to establish a new republican army to better deal with the increasingly powerful Federation of independent galaxies. threat?"
Say here,
Senator Palpatine breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly, waiting for the opinions of others.
That's right, now they are here to discuss the plan to jointly lead and form a new "Second Republic Army" with the Jedi Knights, which is an army completely belonging to the Galactic Republic! Instead of the so-called "Great Republic Party" that has nothing to do with the parliament that has nothing to do with the parliament, as in the past, out of helplessness and emergency, and was dispatched by a certain country to serve as a temporary peacekeeping mission?
‘I completely agree with Representative Palpatine’s suggestion that the evil deeds of the Federation of Independent Galaxies must be effectively combated and stopped in a timely manner! ! '
'That's right! The establishment of the Second Republic is imminent, and we cannot wait any longer! '
"More than 10,000 galaxies have declared independence and joined the Federation of Independent Galaxies, becoming a member of them. If we don't take any more actions, I believe that soon, more galaxies will announce to join them..."
"Although the Great Republic of the Federation of Heroes is very powerful, when they attacked and recovered planets and galaxies one by one, more planets fell. If this continues, things will inevitably evolve to the point where all of us Unbearable level! '
'They must be stopped! ! '
"Although the Milky Way has more than 200 billion stars, at least 100 billion galaxies and countless billions of planets, there are not many that are suitable for life, but now there are more than 10,000 galaxies occupied by the rebels. Occupying nearly one-third of the habitable galaxy of the Republic, it must not go on like this! '
'well……'
The centrist members of different races who were present at the scene spoke one after another at this time, expressing their strong support for Representative Palpatine's proposal, and their eagerness or desire to urge Congress and The Jedi Order formed the 'Second Republic' as soon as possible in order to achieve the purpose of curbing the expansion of the Federation of Independent Galaxies.
'...'
'...'
Master Yoda and Master Windu looked at each other wordlessly, but said nothing, neither agreed nor opposed.
However, anyone can see that these two masters and elders of the Jedi Order have already made a move at this time! Perhaps, it was because the Geonosis raid had touched them too deeply, making them understand that the words of the Jedi alone might not be able to meet the important needs of fighting the enemy and maintaining the stability of the galaxy?
Thinking about it, they organized more than two hundred Jedi knights to launch a surprise attack on Earl Dooku's headquarters at that time, and there were many powerful masters among them! But in the end, despite heavy casualties, they failed shamefully, were captured alive by a group of robots, and almost died humiliatingly in the underground prison of the Geonosians...
They still have fresh memories of what happened at that time, so they don't have much reason to object to Senator Palpatine's reasonable suggestion.
"snort!"
"No matter how many troops there are, those people from the Federation of Independent Galaxies... may be able to make money, but will they fight?!"
At this time,
Nova, who hadn't spoken all the time, first looked at the Supreme Speaker who was frowning and indecisive, then snorted coldly, and sarcastically sarcastically towards those councilors who had voiced their support for the ulterior motives and wanted to divide the power of the parliament and obtain military power. said a word.
She could see that those guys had already been won over by that Palpatine, and they seemed to want to gain a certain right to speak in the parliament and the republic, so as to resist her Nova and the dogs she controlled. The kind of control that is getting stronger and stronger?
"but……"
"Mr. Nova, we have to admit that when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can indeed cause a qualitative change!"
"Otherwise, you Jedi Masters would not have suffered a disastrous defeat on the planet Geonosis, and your fleet would not have been exhausted fighting the robots of the Federation of Independent Galaxies..."
Councilor Palpatine immediately refuted Nova's words, and glanced at a couple of Jedi Masters whose faces were darkened and seemed to be extremely embarrassed.
"snort!"
Nova snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
She would not tell the ambitious Senator Palpatine in front of her that it was her intention to let the guys from the Federation of Independent Galaxies develop! Of course, although the other party's development momentum is somewhat beyond her imagination, she doesn't care too much?
Because, behind her is the entire Koprulu star region and the huge power represented by the star region! If she really got rid of it in the end, at worst, she would bring in the swarm army, or simply go to the world of mass effect to bring in a small part of the army of reapers who have harvested the galaxy for countless reincarnations and are extremely experienced in destroying civilization. , it must be more than enough!
You know, if it is said to destroy the entire Milky Way or defeat the resistance in the Milky Way, the professional harvests countless thousands of years, reincarnates in the Milky Way every 50,000 years, and cuts off countless advanced intelligent life forms like leeks Another crop, those 'reapers' who even their own creators have been harvested by them, but even their Federation of Heroes is terrified!
but……
After thinking about it, Nova, who didn't know what she thought of, suddenly closed her mouth and didn't say anything more about it.
"so……"
"Delegates, Councilors and Masters of the Jedi Council, we need more troops, the establishment of the Second Republic is imminent, and we cannot delay any longer."
Seeing that the most difficult member of the Nova Councilor was strangely silent and objected, Palpatine hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue, stood up again and begged.
'...'
'...'
Master Yoda and Master Windu still didn't speak, they just muttered silently in their positions, still looking like they neither agreed nor opposed.
‘His Excellency Senator Palpatine! '
‘Excuse me, if the second republic is to be established, how should the problems of military expenditure, ships, equipment and soldiers be solved? '
'Especially soldiers! '
'Training an army is a very complicated matter, and it takes a long time...Compared to the robot army of the Federation of Independent Galaxy, our newly formed army may not be those who absolutely obey orders and A rival to the battle robots who never feared death? '
At this time, seeing that none of the congressmen and representatives present seemed to be particularly opposed, a crooked star representative with a pimple on his head hurriedly stood up and asked about the biggest difficulty that might be faced in forming an army.
Because everyone knows that it takes time to recruit and train an army, and the robots of the Federation of Independent Galaxies only need energy and steel. Building factories and mobilizing millions or even tens of millions of soldiers every day is something their republic can't match anyway.
"Of course there is a way!"
Seeing that the support he arranged finally played a role, Senator Palpatine walked to the middle of the Jedi Council meeting room with a smile and began to introduce it slowly.
"Let's not talk about the fleet, ordnance, and military expenses. Everyone knows that after we sanctioned the trade alliance, we obtained a lot of funds..."
"So, let's talk about the soldiers first, shall we?"
"And after my investigation, by a very unexpected opportunity, I was surprised to find that on the star map of the Republic, a planet was deliberately erased from the Jedi archives!"
Speaking of this, Palpatine looked at Master Yoda and Master Windu, and after seeing the serious surprise of the other two, he continued to explain:
"Everyone here may not know..."
"The missing planet, it's called Camiro Planet..."
"And a very prescient Jedi in our Jedi Order, he prepared a group of troops for our great Galactic Republic on the planet named Camiro long ago, a group of powerful , an army that is more practical than battle robots!!"
"His name, presumably Master Yoda and Master Windu will remember?"
talking,
Senator Palpatine, who was smiling, took the matter of that Jedi master, Siev Dias, to the other side without the authorization of the Galactic Council and the Jedi Council, and unilaterally demanded that the prime minister of the planet Kamino Su slowly talked about creating a clone army for the Republic...

"??"
Anakin, who was wandering boredly in the Jedi Temple, watching those Jedi apprentices training, but he had to watch because he had not been officially recognized by the Jedi Council, was wandering to the Jedi apprentices. While in the cafeteria, suddenly, I saw a very familiar, beautiful little girl with blond hair and blue eyes hiding in the corner eating sweets?
"Is it you, Head of State Anne? Why are you here? Didn't you go to a meeting?"
So, out of curiosity and because his mentor Kui Gang Jin didn't arrange a practice task for him, he walked up to the other party and asked this question in bewilderment.
"snort!"
o('^')o
"People don't like meetings!!"
( ̄~ ̄) Chew!
Yes, in Little Anne's opinion, sitting in a row with those bad old men and wasting time talking nonsense for ten days and a half months over little things, and why would it be better to go to the cafeteria to eat dessert alone? fun?
Anyway, she won't hang out with those guys who are full and idle, and then know how to chat and earn wages all day long!
"oh……"
There was a moment of silence, and Anakin didn't know what to say. After scratching his head, he gritted his teeth, sat directly in front of the other party, and lay down on the table, just staring at the other party in a daze.
"!!"
σ(⊙w⊙`)?
"Little kid Anakin, what do you want? If you want to eat, go and get it yourself. Everything here is mine, so I won't let you eat it!"
?(?ˉ?~ˉ?)o
Feeling that the other party might want to grab her food, Annie hurriedly chewed the food in her mouth, while reaching out to protect the delicious food on the table. Although, these things are completely free in the Jedi Temple, but if she feels that she is fully capable of destroying them, she will definitely not share them.
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"..."
"President Anne, I found out that you seem to be really powerful, more powerful than all the Jedi masters combined?!"
However, Anakin didn't even care about the opponent's food protection action, but after staring at the opponent's round and cute little face for a while, he said this sentence abruptly.
"..."
(?_?)
"Don't think that if you praise someone a few words, they will give you food! Let me tell you, this kind of trick is definitely useless to others, you should give up your heart as soon as possible!!"
?(?ˉ?ˉ)╭?
After blinking her eyes and squinting slightly to look at the other party for a few times, Little Annie suddenly pointed at the other party and laughed.
What a joke, how could such a child's trick of getting close and cheating food come to trick her, the omnipotent Führer Anne?
"ah?"
"No! I don't want to eat your food..."
"I just wanted you to teach me the ability to fight..."
After being stunned for a while, Anakin quickly waved his hand and directly explained his purpose to the other party. Because in his opinion, the young head of Anne, who is younger than him but very, very powerful, is really amazing.
If there is no other party, I am afraid that Anakin has died twice! !
"Eh?"
∑('△')? !
"Don't you have a mentor yourself? That old man Qui-Gon Jin, hasn't he already started teaching you how to use the Force?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"..."
"Compared to you, the Jedi Knights don't seem to be very powerful..."
While talking, Anakin lay down on the table in frustration.
In the past, Anakin dreamed of being a pilot who can freely navigate the universe, want to see the entire colorful galaxy, want to go on adventures, and want to see the kind of people who live on Yego’s satellite. Known as the most beautiful creatures in the universe, those 'angels', to see their supposedly shiny white skin and three pairs of wings?
However, after meeting his teacher Qui-Gon and sister Queen Amidala on Tatooine, he suddenly changed his mind: he wanted to be a powerful, lightsaber-wielding and save the world. Jedi!
Of course, what is more important is that he, Anakin Skywalker, must guard the side of the Queen Amidala who he discovered is more beautiful than the 'angel'...
And now, Anakin suddenly doesn't want to be a Jedi anymore!
After seeing some things, he changed his mind again, and wanted to learn the skills of the more powerful 'ghosts' from the powerful Head of State Anne in front of him? He has already noticed that his mentor, that teacher Kui Gang Jin, doesn't seem to be that powerful, because ah, the other party has been captured alive twice by the enemy! The same goes for the other Jedi Knights. There were more than two hundred Jedi Knights, but only a hundred remained after being killed by the robots. Even the most powerful Master Windu among them was captured alive. Shot in jail?
And if the Anne Head of State in front of him hadn't appeared in time and rescued them, Anakin might not have seen the huge red sun rising from the planet Coruscant today.
Therefore, he felt that, in comparison, the Anne Head of State in front of him was a little more powerful! And if I can learn some useful skills from this little head of state, it must be better than just learning the skills of using the Force from Master Kui Gangjin?
"ha!"
(*^▽^*)
"You are really right, those Jedi knights are a bunch of short-sighted guys! You can indeed become stronger by learning the Force from them, but you must not be so stupid like them, you really think you will have some supernatural power It will be invincible!"
(灬owow灬)
Little Anne has always been very disdainful of those guys who could have changed their professions to become mages, but in the end they decided to become fighters! In particular, when the other party can obviously choose to use advanced equipment and firearms, and then become more powerful, why do they have to use only that kind of broken lightsaber in a pedantic and heartless way? Anyway, she has been displeased with those guys for a long time!
"His Excellency, Head of State Anne, can you really teach me a little bit? Even just a little bit?"
Anakin looked at the other party's current expression, and seemed to think that the other party was in a good mood. After thinking about it, he begged again.
"..."
(lll¬w¬)
"Why do you have to follow? Can't you just learn from that old man Kuigang Jin slowly? I think he is very powerful. As long as you don't follow them and only carry a lightsaber when you go out, you will have no problem at all!"
(▽)
Undoubtedly, in Annie's opinion, the Jedi Knights are actually very powerful. The opponent's ability to swing a lightsaber to split or reflect light beams alone can definitely surpass most of the ghost agents she knows! And if the opponent wears the same equipment as the ghost agents, and then applies the aim of splitting 'bullets' to the firearm, it must be very powerful!
After all, after the opponent's physical fitness was developed and transformed by the Force, it has gradually become extraordinary.
"because……"
"I want to rescue my mother as soon as possible..."
While talking, Anakin lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.
Taking the courses of Jedi Knights can undoubtedly achieve his goal, but compared to that, the time is still a bit too long, which he cannot bear, and it also makes him often dream of that kind face in his dreams ...Even if his master, his teacher wanted him to forget Tatooine more than once and let him devote himself to training!
"ah?"
|?˙?˙)?
"Your mother? Where is she now?"
(??)
"Tatooine..."
"..."
"Then why did you save her? Was she caught by some bad guys?"
(.?v?v?.)
Little Annie suddenly felt that if the matter wasn't too troublesome, maybe she might be able to help the other party?
"Because she's a slave..."
"At that time, when we left Tatooine, we couldn't take her away..."
Immediately afterwards, Anakin slowly told what happened when the mentor Qui Gangjin and Queen Amidala went to Tatooine to repair the Naboo royal starship, and of course, they The owner, the greedy thrift store owner Watto.
"So this is ah……"
|??w?`)
"Although I really want to teach you, you are still too stupid. By the time you learn what I can do, your mother will die of old age!!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Then how about this, I'll lend you some money, that kind of credit, you go and buy her back? And, you don't have to pay it back!!"
o(?w?)o
After thinking about it, Little Annie tentatively suggested.
Anyway, her Galactic Republic has a lot of credit points, so there is no problem in lending tens of millions to the other party casually! You can have as much as you want, you can borrow it or not, she won't mind anyway! After all, compared to other methods, it is the simplest solution to directly borrow money and ask the other party to buy the other party's mother back.
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"Credit points cannot be circulated in Tatooine, those people don't accept credit points..."
"Besides, that old Watto is very cunning, he will definitely not sell my mother back to me easily, and I can't beat him..."
Anakin shook his head in frustration. Mr. Qui-Gon and Queen Amidala had tried it, but that cunning guy would not sell it, and they couldn't force it. The explosive device that he can't find will definitely explode!
"There are people who don't like money?"
(* ̄△ ̄*)
Little Annie expressed a little surprise, because in her opinion, most of the people she met were the ones who liked money very much! As long as she has enough money, she can buy no matter what is delicious, even the flat peaches in the other world?
Thinking of Pantao, little Annie couldn't help drooling, but she definitely wouldn't take it out in the presence of this little kid in front of her, because the relationship between him and her was not good enough for her to be willing. degree of sharing.
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
(Is that really bought? Tibbers is very skeptical about this...)
"Well……"
(.?v?v?.)
"Let's do this! It's definitely not enough to teach you abilities, and the fleet doesn't really want to lend you this idiot... But they can barely give you an interesting little thing. As long as you raise it well, it is guaranteed to be fine It is also possible to fulfill all your wishes, such as becoming stronger or fighting back to Tatooine, or protecting your Queen Amidala who likes to peek all day long!"
Little Annie looked around furtively at first, and when she found that no one was paying attention to her side, she quickly took out a cylindrical glass bottle from her bag, and stuffed it into the opponent's hand.
Inside the cylindrical glass bottle was a disgusting little insect that was not very big, had a hard shell, but seemed motionless now. As for when she caught it and hid it, I'm afraid even Anne can't remember clearly... Anyway, there are a lot of messy things in her space bag.
"!?"
"A... dead bug specimen?"
After staring at the glass bottle for a few times, Anakin suddenly felt that the Anne Head in front of him was just playing with him?
"..."
Therefore, the look of anticipation on his face soon became depressed again.
"It's not dead! And it's not an ordinary bug!!"
s (??vev??)ゞ
"I'm telling you quietly, its name is Larva! But it's still in a dormant state, and I'll help you activate it later, as long as you take good care of it, I guarantee that you will have whatever you want in the future!!"
(?-)?
The larvae can hatch into worker bees, and the worker bees can be turned into a hatchery, and once the hatchery is created, the next thing becomes very simple.
Whether it's strengthening your body, or leading the Zerg army to Tatooine to save people, isn't it the same as playing? Moreover, at that time, it can be said that it is the result of the other party's own efforts, and it has nothing to do with her, Mrs. Anne, Head of State?
"Really?"
Looking at the strange thing in his hand, Anakin still couldn't believe it.
"If you lie to me, I will make you look like a little bear!"
(?`▽′?)?
Suddenly, little Annie picked up Tibbers, her own bad bear, and then ruthlessly grabbed the other's head and twisted it!
Click!
(!!)
σ(?)? ? ?
"..."
"But, I don't know how to keep bugs, I've never kept pets..."
Anakin shook his head with some regret, he still felt that the Anne head in front of him must have lied to him, he was not as stupid as the other party imagined!
"Do not worry!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
"It eats everything, and even looks for food by itself. It's very easy to raise!"
(*?′╰╯`?)?
"..."
"You really didn't lie to me?"
Anakin was still a little hesitant, always feeling unreliable...
"That's it! Remember to take good care of it!!"
(? ̄? ̄?) Hey!
After finishing speaking, Annie, who didn't want to talk anymore with the kid in front of her who dared to question her, stood up, turned around and left with her little bear in her hand.
As for the matter of the bugs, she didn't take it to heart, anyway, the other party would definitely not be able to raise a large scale in less than three or two years! And three or two years later, she has long since thrown herself into other worlds, so who cares what this world will become?
Besides, it doesn't matter if you raise a group of bugs, aren't they also her subordinates? Maybe, when the time comes, Nova and the others will still be grateful to me for creating a new army for them? !
"etc……"
"feed me……"
Anakin wanted to say that he didn't want it, but before he finished speaking, how could he still see the shadow of the other party? The little girl jumped around a few times and didn't know where she went, so she didn't pay attention to his opinion at all.
"..."
"Well……"
I leaned in front of the glass bottle and looked at the small one in the bottle, about as thick as two fingers, with a ferocious and ugly appearance, a lot of green compound eyes and a scary big-mouthed pliers. Seeing the other person seemed like It was really not a specimen, but a living one, and even turning his head slightly to look at himself, Anakin sighed helplessly.
"Woo!"
"Really, how could this be..."
Anakin remembered that just now he clearly wanted to learn some fighting skills from the opponent, but now...
There is no way, after all, this little bug is a gift from the other party. Although he thinks that the other party must be lying to him, but after thinking about it, he thinks it might be a bit bad to throw it away. He can only grit his teeth and plan to Take it back and take care of it for a while?
If you really don't think it's fun or easy to raise, then you can just let it go...
'! ! '
'Anakin, what are you doing over there? '
Suddenly, without waiting for Anakin to think more, a familiar voice from a distance stopped him.
"!!"
"Ah? Obi-Wan? I was just here talking to Mrs. Annie the Head of State. What do you want?"
Realizing that it was his senior brother coming over, Anakin quickly jumped off the chair.
'The teacher is looking for you...'
'Well? What is in your hand? '
"!!"
"Ah! It's nothing, this is the pet that Head Anne gave me just now..."
Anakin quickly hid behind himself.
'pet? '
