Chapter 1991 Darkness Shrouded
? 1991, Darkness Shrouded
The outer ring of the Galactic Republic, the Laxus galaxy, the main planet of Laxus.
This is an extremely terrifying world. Endless garbage is piled up among the planets, and some of the huge garbage piles are even piled up into huge garbage mountains with a height of more than 10,000 meters!
Almost everything can be found here, there are even a large number of ancient star destroyer wrecks stuck upside down with rusty spots on the ground, and countless industrial wastes are thrown here at random. Toxic waste flowed like a choppy river, filling the atmosphere with toxic fumes.
In addition to these garbage, there are also a large number of scavengers wearing simple gas masks moving around this deadly planet. They search for some usable things in this pile of garbage, and then exchange these things for some meager income. Even though the toxic waste and the atmosphere have already corroded their bodies, they are still active day and night.
Similarly, some waste recycling companies have also set up bases on this planet, trying to find those equipment that can be repaired from the terrible garbage dumps scattered all over the planet. In fact, the things picked up by those scavengers will also be sold to these waste recycling companies nearby. The bases of these waste recycling companies are also some of the few safe places on this planet.
In the main planet of Laxus, a low-lying area that used to be a lake, a large-scale waste recycling company base is located here. However, unlike the bases of other waste recycling companies, this base occupies a larger area. The garbage in the controlled area has been emptied, the ground has been leveled, and a group of hideous buildings has been built inside. Moreover, there are a large number of combat robots patrolling around the base at any time. Once any scavengers approach, shoot them immediately!
In a sharp tower in the center of the base, a tall and energetic old man is walking towards the top of the tower step by step along the long spiral staircase. He did not choose the fast and convenient elevator, but insisted on using his own Climb with an even and powerful stride.
The old man looked only about 60 years old, but his hair and beard were all white, and he seemed to be more than this age. His hair was combed very carefully to the back of his head, and his beard was carefully trimmed neatly. His piercing eyes exuded a sharp light, and the wrinkles on his face were just right to make his resolute appearance more prominent. majesty.
He was wearing a precious black velvet cloak, which covered his whole body, and only when he lifted his feet up the steps, would he reveal the lean combat clothing under the cloak.
All the way to the top of the tower, here is a command center equipped with various state-of-the-art inter-galaxy quantum communication systems, and a huge star map of the entire Milky Way is holographically projected in the middle. He stood in front of the communication system, pressed the communication button,
Immediately, two holographic projections appeared in it. It was the Governor of the Trade Union, Newt Gunley, and his adjutant, Rune Harkle! !
I only saw that these two people did not have the arrogance and arrogance in front of Tang Yu at all, but were replaced by incomparable humility. They bent down and folded their hands respectfully in front of their chests, as if they were clasping their hands. This clapping movement is an instinctive movement produced by the Neimoidian body structure, but it is generally only done when facing superiors.
"Dear Earl Dooku... We have gone to the newly discovered guardian planet according to the plan, and made a negotiation proposal to their ruler that is absolutely impossible to accept." Newt Gunley said with a bow.
It turned out that this old man was Count Dooku! Once the strongest and most respected member of the Jedi Order, but he couldn't bear the corruption of the Galactic Republic and the compromise of the Jedi Order, so he left the Jedi Order two years ago. Just a year ago, he had just used the main planet of Laxus as his secret base, and delivered a very provocative speech, calling on those unbearable galaxies to openly oppose the Galactic Republic, which was also called separatism by the Republic sports.
Dooku nodded slightly, and slowly asked: "So, what's the other party's reaction?"
"Except for the young ruler who showed a little anxiety, the people who came to negotiate maintained a good mood and did not react too violently. It can be seen that they are all old fritters in the mall. Even in the end, they didn't categorically reject the offer. However, during the negotiations, one of the handmaidens fainted, and Jedi Master Coleman Truber was also present in the reception hall, which also disrupted our negotiations... ..." Newt Gunray replied.
"I understand, you go back, use this as an excuse according to the plan, launch a trade embargo on the guardian planet, and don't worry about anything else." Dooku replied blankly.
"Lord Dooku... I don't quite understand one thing. Why do you push the guardian planet to a dead end like this? I mean, this behavior will make the Republic put pressure on us again after the Naboo battle. They will Link this matter with the previous battle of Naboo, in this case, we..."
"I said, don't worry about other things." Dooku interrupted Newt Gunley with a wave of his hand, gave the two of them a contemptuous look, and directly turned off the communicator.
After the picture disappeared, Dooku stretched out two fingers and waved lightly, the communicator on the table was immediately thrown out by an invisible force, and fell to the ground with a bang and was smashed into pieces. Then he took out a valuable white silk handkerchief, wiped his hands carefully, and threw the handkerchief aside.
A cleaning robot came over immediately and swept away the handkerchief and damaged communicator.
"Hmph, greedy, bullying, Neimoidians? They're just a group of lowly race." Dooku said to himself, he waved his hand again, and another robot immediately sent up another special black communicator, This communicator is different from the general-purpose communicator used before. Several signal encryption devices are installed on it, which can ensure that the communication signal is absolutely impossible to be eavesdropped.
Then, Dooku tidied up his clothes very carefully before turning on the communicator. Immediately, a figure covered in a black cloak appeared in the holographic projection.
Seeing this person, Dooku took a step back, lifted his cloak, knelt down on one knee in a very respectful and chic posture, bowed his head and said: "My lord, Newt Gunley has visited the guardian planet, It is only a matter of time before the Guardian Planet and the Trade Federation turn their faces."
"Hehehehe..." The figure shrouded in a black cloak let out an ugly and weird smile, "Very well, I will make further preparations here, and then, in three months' time, you will go to the guardian planet yourself. "
"Obey, my lord. However, why do you value this seemingly backward planet so much? Please also ask the lord to guide the disciples." Dooku bowed his head and said.
"You have to see the purest and most essential thing in the Force, and it will guide you. Only then will you see the huge potential contained in the guardian planet. Just before, one of them was able to touch it My spirit, this makes me more interested in them." The voice of the black cloak was slow and distorted: "And you have to understand that the guardian planet is an imperial system, and their emperor is also the object of their people's beliefs, and such a A planet...hehehehehe..."
He smiled very darkly for a while, "They will become the sharpest sword in your hands, and they will also become the best food when a new order is established."
Dooku replied in a deep voice: "The disciple understands that since this Tang Yu is such a respected person and also a noble human being, I think I will have a lot in common with him."
"You have to remember, Dooku, the great cause we are about to carry out is to rebuild the order of the entire galaxy. In order to achieve this goal, we must do whatever it takes!"
"The disciple obeys!"
