Chapter 2004 Earl Dooku

? 2004, Count Dooku

An apparently modified Neimoidian 'Coathopod' class shuttle landed smoothly. Two pairs of insect-like landing gear protruded from the belly of the shuttle, supporting the somewhat fat body of the shuttle to dock. On the tarmac of Yucheng Palace.

The cabin door of the spaceship opened, and a tall and straight figure appeared at the door. He didn't stop there, but walked down directly. He looked at Tang Yu and the others who had been waiting for a long time. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth with a gray beard, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Tang Yu, I have longed for the beautiful guardian planet for a long time. Unfortunately, I am so busy with business that I just arrived today." Come on. But the sapphire-like beauty of the guardian planet really made me fascinated, it was a worthwhile trip."

The person who came was Earl Serenno, a former Jedi master, one of the strongest force users in the galaxy, who provoked the separatist movement all over the galaxy, and persuaded thousands of planets to leave the galaxy by virtue of his personality and talent The independent man of the Republic—Count Dooku!

Seeing this majestic old man in a black cloak talking to him in such a polite tone, Tang Yu didn't show any gratitude, instead he snorted and said, "I don't know that Earl Dooku, the traitor of the Republic, the secessionist movement The leader of the world, did you come to our guardian planet to die?"

Earl Dooku smiled politely, and didn't feel disobedient at all. He continued to move forward and said, "I really don't know that Your Excellency Tang Yu is still so...loyal to the Galactic Republic. But it doesn't matter, I will go to the Galactic Republic this time." Come, my whereabouts are absolutely confidential, no one will know that I am coming."

"Then you must have prepared your speech. Let me not arrest you immediately and send you to Coruscant to claim credit?" As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers of the Scarlet Knights wearing red mechanized exoskeletons left immediately Stepping forward, the ion rifle in hand was aimed steadily at Dooku.

Dooku didn't appreciate these majestic soldiers either, he just observed them with great interest, and praised in his mouth: "Hehehehe, they are simply perfect soldiers! Strong in body, firm in will, and well equipped! If it is For those wastes of the Marine Corps of the Republic Judicial Fleet, each of these soldiers can beat them 20 times! May I have the honor to know the name of this unit?"

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yu's mouth, and he said lightly, "Blood Red Knights."

Earl Dooku showed an excited smile on his face, and praised in his mouth: "Blood Red Knights! Use the blood of the enemy to decorate their own glory, compared with those soldiers who use camouflage to cover themselves, such a knights are so unscrupulous! Proclaim your presence on the battlefield, and the death of your enemies..."

As he spoke, he raised his head as if intoxicated, and opened his hands, as if tasting mellow fine wine, "I seem to see my hometown, in the distant history of Serenno,

The beautiful scene of soldiers from all over the world wielding long swords and fighting together. This is an army with profound tradition and heritage, just like this beautiful planet. "

Tang Yu smiled lightly. In fact, the Guardian Empire did not have any historical background, but in a sense it did. Because the design of the mechanized exoskeleton of the Crimson Knights fully refers to the magical armor and coat of arms of the world of "Dragon Age", as well as the armor of the black spirit, and even refers to some guardians who invaded during the promotion battle of the golden group The armor style of the Burning Legion demon in Dimension Bastion.

And when these medieval magical shapes are brought to this era, they naturally become a very profound historical heritage. This, inadvertently, gave Earl Dooku a very good impression.

But Tang Yu still refused to let it go, he said coldly: "So, are you planning to surrender yourself? Earl Dooku."

"Hehehehe... I think it's better for us to be straightforward, Your Excellency Tang Yu." After finishing speaking, Dooku waved his hand lightly, and the weapons in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers of the Scarlet Knights immediately flew out of their hands and fell directly from the tarmac. fall down. These soldiers reacted extremely quickly. The moment they lost their weapons, they immediately shook their hands, and the alloy combat blade popped out from the wrist armor, ready to fight at any time.

"Very well, so what are you going to do directly?" Tang Yu asked rhetorically.

"For example, how about buying me a special drink from Guardian Planet?" Dooku spread his hands, indicating that he was not hostile.

...

Earl Dooku gracefully picked up the teacup, took a sip of the top-quality black tea inside, he let out a long breath, and praised: "I have to admit, such a drink full of natural flavor is the best drink I've ever had. One of the delicious drinks."

Ding, he put down his teacup, looked at Tang Yu who was sitting on the other side of the table, and said with a smile, "I really want to ask you how the guardian planet perfectly combines a highly developed industrial civilization with nature. got up?"

It only needs to cause space-time turbulence, tear the timeline apart, and then reshape a world. Tang Yu replied in his heart, but he said on his mouth: "About 1500 years ago, a war that spread to the whole world took place on our planet, which almost destroyed our entire civilization. The remaining survivors reborn on the current continent. Developed and rebuilt civilization. Outside of this continent, nature is constantly repairing the damage of war."

This is a long-prepared rhetoric to explain why the guardian planet is so empty and the population is so concentrated.

"It's almost time, so let's eat here by the way." Tang Yu waved his hand, and the maids filed in, filling the table with all kinds of delicately cooked delicacies.

Earl Dooku was also unceremonious, first washed his hands in the spring water brought by the maid, and then wiped it clean with a silk towel, picked up the knife and fork and looked at the delicious dishes on the table. But he didn't start immediately, but looked up at Tang Yu, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that this table of food has been prepared a long time ago. Your Excellency Tang Yu, your wonderful acting skills just now almost fooled me." Well. Presumably, you already know the purpose of my trip, right?"

Tang Yu smiled and didn't answer, but made a gesture of please. Dooku chose a dish, and the maid next to him immediately served him a bowl of fragrant soup. After Dooku took a sip, he was full of praise immediately, "Well, the taste of this dish is really delicious!" He drank the bowl of soup with elegant and quick movements.

"The name of this dish is stewed chicken with mushrooms..." Tang Yu introduced it to Earl Dooku, suppressing a smile in his heart.

Although the dinner was sumptuous this time, neither party ate much, except for the big pot of stewed chicken and mushrooms that was eaten up by Dooku. When the maid began to clear the table, Tang Yu and Earl Dooku got to the point.

"I have to say that the guardian planet has left a deep impression on me. Your Excellency Tang Yu, this trip is worthwhile, even if you become a prisoner, it is worth it. Well, now you can arrest me." Count Dooku crossed his hands in front of Tang Yu and said.

"If I arrest you and send you to Coruscant, what reward should I get?" Tang Yu didn't do anything, but stared into Earl Dooku's eyes and asked with a smile.

"Oh, I think Speaker Palpatine should be very happy. There is a high probability that he will give you a generous bounty, about two to three hundred million credit points. Then he will also give you a member of the planet. Considering your Given the current situation of the planet, we should be able to give you a few old warships as gifts." Earl Dooku thought for a while before answering.

Tang Yu looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, as if he was calculating the benefits of doing so, then suddenly lowered his head and looked into Dooku's eyes and asked, "Then what if I don't send you to Coruscant, but just ask you for a ransom?"

Dooku didn't speak, the old and the young just looked at each other, with an inscrutable smile on the corners of their mouths.
