Chapter 1234: Naboo Star and the New Crisis
"Shadow Bear Tibbers' Plane Journey ()"
The newly-promoted Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker resolutely implemented some of the relevant matters assigned to him by the elders of the Jedi Council. He took Padmé on the road on the first night and got a ship without any legal registration information. The high-speed spacecraft quietly left the planet Coruscant in the middle of the night without notifying anyone.
No one knows when they left...
For the Jedi Knights who originally belonged to Coruscant and are above all official management agencies, Anakin has long been very familiar with the methods of attacking and intercepting smuggled spaceships on the planet Coruscant, so his blatant The official 'smuggling' act did not use any privileges, and of course avoided all legal inspections and patrol spacecraft, and then quietly left the capital of the Galactic Republic without anyone noticing.
Maybe Anakin's secrecy work is really good, maybe Padmé no longer has that kind of positioning device on his body, maybe some bounty hunters are scared out of their wits? Of course, it's most likely because the cutting-edge spaceship he chose was flying so fast that those bounty hunters couldn't catch up at all?
Therefore, on the way back to Naboo, Anakin and Padmé were not intercepted or hindered in any way at all, and they arrived in Naboo in a few days easily and comfortably, and met Naboo After the new queen handed over some work, she ran to the beautiful mansion in the Naboo Star Lake area where they stayed briefly last time, and lived in it without shame.
Today is the eighth day that Anakin and Padmé have stayed here...
In this beautiful place, there is no one else except Anakin, Padmé, and a few servants and cooks, which makes the original Galactic Republic, Separatist Alliance, Split, War and Padmé, who was troubled by the endless pursuit and killing, finally felt a lot more relieved. She no longer had to worry about those things, and finally she was able to stay with the person she liked again, although they were separated from each other. The identity of Jian still makes her feel scruples?
"It's so beautiful..."
In the distance, the dots of the Milky Way above the sky are reflected on the vast lake, and then reflected by the shimmering lake. The twinkling dots between the sky and the lake echo each other, making the scenery of the stars and the Milky Way more vivid. So charming that Padme, who was leaning on the railing, was almost a little drunk.
"Anakin..."
"You said, if there will be no more disputes in the Milky Way in the future, and there won't be so many fights and misfortunes, and we can always live here like this, don't care about anything, and live leisurely like this every day, then we should How good is it?"
Although Padmé herself felt that that kind of life was unlikely to happen to herself and Anakin, that didn't stop her from fantasizing about it.
"..."
"There will be such a day!"
"Padmé, I am here to solemnly assure you that in the name of Anakin Skywalker, there will be such a day!"
"At that time, we will be able to live here like this all the time. We don't have to worry about anything. We just live leisurely every day, boating, playing, picking wild fruits, and then at night, just like this, watching the scenery here, Forever……"
After squinting his eyes slightly and speaking firmly, Anakin stepped forward two steps, walked to Padmé's side, stretched out his hand and directly encircled the waist of the other party who was wearing a light gauze nightgown, just like this The other party leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, looking at the stars in the sky and the gorgeous lake view under the dark night.
"ha!"
"Anakin, you are really good at coaxing people..."
Without resisting the domineering hug of the other party, Padmé turned her head and looked at Anakin's resolute cheek for a long time, finally shook her head with a smile and gently leaned her round face against it. On the other side's strong shoulders.
she knows
The other party was just sweet words to comfort her, that kind of thing can't happen, but, in this situation, she doesn't intend to expose him, she wants to enjoy the comfortable sense of security at this time, Then think about nothing.
"if……"
"Anakin, what I'm talking about is if... If there is such a day, I think, I will be very happy..."
Yes, that's only if.
Because she, Padmé Amidala, is Naboo's senator, it is foreseeable that this position will be with her for a long, long time... And Anakin is indeed a Jedi who is not allowed to have marriage and family, she It is destined that there will be no results with him in the future, especially after her matter is resolved and she no longer needs protection. At that time, the number of times she will meet him will decrease as she grows older. Be more and more estranged until each other will only exist in each other's memory forever?
"Will do!"
"Padmé, do you know? The little head of the Federation of Heroes, that little guy Anne Hasta, you should still remember?"
After hesitating and thinking about it, Anakin continued:
"At that time..."
"She gave me a gift, she said, as long as I have it, I can have whatever I want in the future, and I can use it to change everything, including your and my fate!"
"So, don't worry, Padmé, one day, I will give you the life you want, and we will live happily ever after here, on this beautiful planet!!"
Anakin didn't believe in that kind of thing before, but now, he has believed more and more, and has made up his mind that he will do his best to realize it as soon as possible, and thus change the relationship between him and Pad. Mei's fate!
"!!"
"Gift? What gift, can you show me?"
Hearing that it was about that amazing little guy, the gift that Head Anne gave Anakin, Padmé couldn't help being a little curious... You know, she also had a very good relationship with that little guy back then, so why did she Don't see her give her a gift before she leaves?
Fortunately, she still took good care of that little guy, and provided all kinds of conveniences to the Hero Federation garrison on Naboo, but in the end, it was fine for them to withdraw as they said, but there was no gift from her yet? So, out of curiosity, she couldn't help asking questions with some imbalance in her heart.
"Feel sorry!"
"It's not here now, but don't worry, you should be able to see it after a while!"
Looking sideways at Padmé who was leaning in his arms, Anakin didn't think too much, and directly assured the other party, and was ready to reveal his secret to the other party at an appropriate time.
"laugh!"
"Are you trying to surprise me?"
After staring into Anakin's eyes for a while, and found that there was no expression of wanting to deceive or evade, Padme, who was still a little unbalanced, nodded, and put her cheek against Anakin's again. on those strong arms.
"Oh well!"
"Then I won't press you for the time being, but Anakin...the scenery is so beautiful today, let's go boating!"
Thinking that the other party gave the mysterious little gift to Padmé who fell on Coruscant, she didn't think much, and put her hands around the other party's neck, and then begged coquettishly.
Today's atmosphere is very good, and Naboo is also very safe here. It has been many days since there has been such a terrible attack like Coruscant... So, Padmé feels that there seems to be a further improvement between her and him. , paddled a boat to the center of the lake, where while admiring the beautiful lake and sky, while sublimating the already strong relationship between her and him?
"..."
"Sorry, Padmé, I'm afraid not today!"
Although he was very reluctant, after pondering for a while, Anakin shook his head regretfully and gently pushed Padmé away from Padmé's eyes that suddenly became extremely disappointed, and then pulled the knife from his waist. Out of his lightsaber.
"you!!"
"Anakin, they...they're here again?!"
Seeing Anakin taking out his lightsaber, how could the clever Padmé not know what was going on? Therefore, after the untimely disappointment at the beginning, when she came back to her senses, she became nervous instantly, and while clutching the other party's skirt tightly, she began to turn her head and scan around, trying to find some An assailant hiding somewhere in the darkness.
"Um!"
"Padmé, you go to rest first, stay in the room and don't come out, leave the outside to me!"
After patting the back of Padmé's cold hand that was sweating slightly and motioning for Padmé to let go of him, Anakin persuaded with a relaxed face.
"But!"
"Anakin, do you need me to call for support? Naboo's royal pilots can come to support us in ten minutes at most!"
Padmé's face changed, and she walked to the door of the specially transformed room in a tacit understanding, and turned around to ask nervously before entering.
"unnecessary!"
"They have very few people, only three, I can deal with them!"
Using the force to sense it, he found that there were indeed only three enemies, and Anakin, who felt that he should be more than enough to deal with it, shook his head and rejected Padmé's kindness.
"That……"
"Then Anakin, you must be careful!"
Looking back, after tiptoeing and kissing each other, Padmé didn't hesitate, just walked into the room obediently and locked the door behind her.
However, she did not fully listen to Anakin's words, but contacted a special service squadron of the Naboo Royal Barracks as soon as she entered, and informed her situation, so that the 24-hour standby and full authority The team responsible for their own safety hastened to dispatch fighter jets and fighters over.
"..."
Anakin didn't care about some of Padme's small movements. After making sure that the other party had walked into the safe room, he held his lightsaber hilt and walked down the terrace facing the lake without saying a word. , walked unhurriedly towards the garden behind.
Soon, Anakin arrived in the beautiful back garden of the mansion by the lake, and stood under the dim streetlight without speaking, just staring at the front from a certain way that was not very useful for a Jedi Knight. The three bounty hunters who appeared in the light-refracting cloaking device asked:
"you……"
"It looks like they didn't come to kill Padmé?"
Yes, looking at the three guys wearing the iconic Mandalorian armor walking out in front of him, and seeing the purposeful movements of the other party faintly surrounding him, Anakin knew that it seemed that this The enemies who attacked once were not what he thought, but those guys who wanted to attack Padmé?
'That's right! '
‘Anakin Skywalker, we are actually here to kill you! '
Just as Anakin finished speaking, the Mandalorian in the middle, holding a DC-15 blaster rifle in both hands, spoke directly and gloomyly. However, it may also be because he was wearing a helmet, so his voice seemed a bit dull ?
"!!"
"Kill me? Who asked you to kill me, and how much reward did you give?"
After being taken aback for a while, Anakin suddenly felt a little inexplicable.
If it is said that Padmé was the queen of Naboo and had irreconcilable conflicts with the Trade Federation, and also caused the fiasco of the Trade Federation, captured the Governor of the Trade Federation, and later often met in the Galactic Council. Members of the Trade Union had trouble with it, and directly or indirectly led several sanctions imposed on the Trade Union by the Supreme Court of the Galaxy, and even directly "instigated" the army of the Federation of Heroes to attack the Trade Union several times, which is why the Governor of the Trade Union hated her. If he wanted to take her head at all costs, then who did he, Anakin, provoke so that someone wanted his life as a Jedi knight?
To be honest, he was very interested in this question, so he decided not to do anything for the time being, and let the three bounty hunters in front of him live for a while.
'snort! '
'No bounty! No one asked us to come! '
The other person on the left answered in a cold voice holding a compact DC-15S version of the blaster.
"No one instructed you, so why?"
Anakin was even more strange, and just looked up and down with puzzled eyes at the three guys in front of him who were all using the standard equipment of the "Second Republic Army" but wearing Mandalorian armor.
'It's very simple! '
'I heard that you killed more than two hundred hunters by yourself, including a dozen powerful Mandalorians... We don't believe that you have that kind of power! '
'So, here we come! '
"I see……"
"Are you trying to challenge me so that you can prove your bravery?"
Anakin remembered part of the legend of the Mandalorian, so he suddenly felt a little dazed.
'The same can be said! '
‘You can do it now, we will fight you fairly, three against one! '
The Mandalorian on the right holding an unknown model of blaster pistol said so, and opened the safety for his blaster pistol.
"..."
"You are very brave, you will die if you challenge me!"
Anakin didn't understand, the other party wanted to shamelessly fight three-on-one, so what's the point of fairness?
Fortunately, he didn't intend to have a fair fight with these bounty hunters who had annoyed him, so he didn't mind too much what they said.
'snort! '
‘Our ancient Mandalorians were famous for killing Jedi knights and attacking the Jedi Temple. Now, although we will not attack the Jedi Temple, it is still possible to attack you! '
'Anakin Skywalker, show your lightsaber, or you won't stand a chance! '
After speaking, the three Mandalorians slowly dispersed, and after forming a semi-surrounded formation, they aimed their respective guns at Anakin.
"..."
"I guess, you haven't taken the initiative to attack, you should want to know how I killed your team of Mandalorians, right?"
The opponent had the opportunity to shoot at him early in the morning, but he never did it. Even when he was flirting with Padmé on the terrace, they had the opportunity to snipe directly from a long distance, but they led him here. From this, Anakin tried to guess, and at the same time waved his hand, and popped out his own lightsaber.
'Not quite...'
'snort! '
'Stop talking nonsense, just let the horse come over! '
Obviously, Anakin may have guessed part of it right, but the three Mandalorians didn't explain much, they just held their blaster weapons tightly, pointed their guns at Anakin, and waited.
"Unfortunately, you found the wrong opponent today!"
"If you are ready, then I will launch an attack..."
Anakin waved the lightsaber in his hand habitually, letting the beautiful blade of the ejected magnetic plasma beam form a blue round shield in the dark night, ready to attack Related preparations.
"..."
However, Anakin, who played a sword flower, did not rush forward, but squinted, silently staring at the three enemies in front of him.
'...'
'...'
'...'
And the three Mandalorians were also not in a hurry to act, they just surrounded Anakin at a 60-and-a-half-degree angle... because they knew that the force of the Jedi Knights would predict their attack route and react in advance, Even refracting or bouncing their blaster beams, so they're not in a hurry, they want to wait for the enemy to rush up and attack one of them first before firing.
"..."
'...'
Just like that, the two sides faced each other silently at a distance of thirty to fifty meters, and the air began to fill with that penetrating chill atmosphere.
"!!"
"Do it!!"
After confronting for a while, when the Force told Anakin that the three Mandalorians in front of him were not simple, they seemed to be the kind of powerful and experienced guys, and if he dared to act rashly or rush up casually, he would definitely After dying a miserable death... He finally couldn't help it anymore, just at the moment when the three Mandalorians were slightly startled, he directly opened his mouth to snort and shouted an order that made the enemy inexplicable.
Whoosh~! Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
↗↘→
Almost at the same time as Anakin gave the order, three precise and vicious thorns shot out from the flowers behind the three Mandalorians, piercing the back of the Mandalorian steel armor in an instant. It pierced into their necks, and under the action of the highly toxic toxin, the three elite Mandalorians staggered in disbelief, threw away the weapons in their hands, clutched their throats and collapsed. to the ground.
At this time, under the effect of that paralyzing toxin, they didn't even have the strength to pull the trigger and aim... Even, within three seconds, two unlucky Mandalorians were directly pierced through the carotid artery The person was still lying on the side without moving, obviously dead.
"..."
Seeing the plight of the enemy, Anakin didn't speak, but walked up step by step with his blue lightsaber. One of them was still alive, still clutching the spine at his throat, and stretched out tremblingly. In front of the Mandalorian who was about to say something to him or grab something.
"Now……"
"You should know how I defeated those two hundred bounty hunters?"
After finishing speaking with a soft sigh, a ferocious and strong Elite Hydralisk with a height of four or five meters finally appeared behind Anakin. It just used its weak force to hide behind the three people behind him, and successfully used a spine shot to easily kill the three self-righteous Mandalorians in front of him.
Not to mention the three in front of him, in Anakin's opinion, even thirty or three hundred more are useless! Because, this lake area has long been protected by a large number of insect swarm units he has deployed. He just let these three weird guys in on purpose, but who would have thought that they were here to deal with him?
'you……'
The Mandalorian was about to say something and reached out to grab Anakin's ankle, but Anakin silently swung his lightsaber and decapitated him, ending his The pain of wanting to fight toxins after being pierced through the throat by a spine.
"..."
Looking at the three dead Mandalorians, and the guy whose head was beheaded by himself, Anakin didn't say much, but walked forward, standing next to the other two Mandalorian corpses. Two swords were stabbed at the throat of the spine, creating the illusion that the opponent was killed by him, and at the same time completely wiped out the important evidence - the spine.
"Go!"
"Continue to lurk, don't be easily spotted by the Naboo, and don't let those bounty hunters get in again!"
After speaking, Anakin walked towards the mansion without looking back. At the same time, the figure of the huge elite Hydralisk behind him began to fade gradually after making a hissing sound, and it quickly used the weak force obtained after evolution to disappear invisibly again. gone.
However, the obvious rustling sound when it crawled and the indentation of the turf on the ground by its huge weight have already betrayed its existence.
"..."
Anakin didn't care about the three corpses behind him, and he didn't let the swarm drag them away, because he knew that Naboo's royal guards were coming soon, so he thought it would be better to let them handle it?
But now, he needs to go back to explain the information and report to Padmé. I don't know if she is still in the mood to let him go boating with her?
presumably……
Surely there is no such leisurely feeling?
But it doesn't matter, Anakin just doesn't have the mood to accompany him to go to the lake at night. The scenery is good, but in his opinion, he should spend more time in contacting and planning his swarm It's better, night is his rare alone time, swimming in the lake or something, can he go during the day?
However, what Anakin, who is somewhat upright in emotional intelligence, did not know: at this time, on a certain orbit in the galaxy on the edge of the outer ring of the Milky Way, where Naboo star is located, several ships suddenly jumped out of the FTL flight. Huge spaceships, and looking at them, it is impressive that they surrounded and almost occupied Naboo ten years ago. The kind of trade alliance mother with the characteristics of the trade alliance, a circular island converted from a transport merchant ship ship?
As for why they jumped to this place instead of going directly to Naboo, it is temporarily unknown.
…
'Report! '
‘Your Excellency, you have arrived in the galaxy where Naboo is located. May I ask if you want to continue to blockade and land on Naboo? '
A green-skinned protocol droid walked up to Governor Newt Gunray and reported on one of the spheres, the Trade Federation mothership Cambridge.
'hum...'
"Don't worry, Naboo is already in the bag, but I have to go back to Geonosis first, there is what I want, you should first conduct the necessary investigation here, and at the same time make a good disguise , Don't let the Naboo people discover our arrival! '
‘Then, wait for my attack order? '
Governor Newt Gunray's protruding red eyes fixed on the beautiful Naboo star in the holographic image for a long time before he gave the order to hide and investigate to the green-skinned protocol robot.
'Follow orders! '
'Your Excellency, I will arrange it now...'
