Count Dooku only felt a bucket of ice water poured from head to toe, and he thought of many things at this moment. What did Tang Yu mean just now? Is it to remind yourself? Why would he know that Sidious wanted him to kill Emma Frost? What exactly is Sidious trying to do?

But with his rich experience, he immediately figured out a lot. Obviously, Darth Sidious let himself kill Emma, ​​on the one hand because the recent war situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Republic, and it will take some time for Tarkin to order the orbital bombing of the planet Murkana to subside. On the other hand, Sidious also wanted to beat himself. After all, he was also a high-ranking and powerful person now, and the power he controlled was no longer under Sidious, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

Cold sweat could not help seeping from his forehead, Earl Dooku lowered his head and said: "Emma Frost is still very helpful to our current battle situation, killing her suddenly will cause a very serious blow to our morale... And I promise, my lord, I will always be your most loyal disciple, and I will never have any second thoughts."

"Since you have no second thoughts about me, then kill Emma Frost to prove your loyalty." Darth Sidious said coldly.

"But my lord... even if I don't need to do this, I can prove it." Count Dooku still wanted to argue.

"In my opinion, you are disobedient now, aren't you? Killing Emma Frost is my order to you as the Sith Lord! As for the consequences, I believe we have enough ability to It's settled, right? Darth Tyranus." Sidious's voice was like a viper, "Or, do you really want to disobey me?"

"I...I understand. As ordered..." Earl Dooku replied with his head bowed, the cold sweat on his head even began to drip to the ground.

"So... I'm waiting for you, good news..." Darth Sidious said, cutting off the communication as the hologram faded away.

Count Dooku stood up, went to sit on a sofa in the secret room, crossed his hands to support his chin, his face was dark, and there was even a murderous look in his eyes. He knew that the consequences of killing Emma Frost were definitely much more serious than Darth Sidious's understatement.

First of all, Emma is a hero who has made many military exploits, and the just-concluded Murkana Battle has brought her endless glory. Now her position in the Confederate Army of the Independent Galaxy can even be said to be second only to General Grievous! If something happened to Emma, ​​let alone arresting her with trumped-up charges, even if it was a trap designed to make her die on the battlefield, it would definitely not be settled! What's more, how strong Emma's telepathic ability is, Earl Dooku knows it well, and wants to plot against her? almost impossible!

Moreover, the attitude of Tang Yu and the guardian planet is also very critical. Now the status of the guardian planet in the confederation is becoming more and more important.

On the one hand, there is a new type of intelligent robot jointly developed by the Guardian Planet and the Trade Federation. Whether it is used for combat or to operate a spaceship, this robot is much stronger than the rigid robots before, and even infinitely close to the level of human soldiers. The more direct performance is that the vulture robot fighter that adopts the guardian planet's "new program" is several times stronger than before. It really competed with the clone pilots.

In addition, the army of the guardian planet is now well-deserved as the first army of the confederation. The victory of many battles is inseparable from their powerful army. Coupled with the addition of the Blade Fleet and those invisible black ships, the fleet of the guardian planet is also strong now. Under such circumstances, if killing Emma Frost caused Tang Yu to turn against him, the blow would be fatal to the Federation of Independent Galaxies! Maybe it will never recover from the slump and lose the war.

Earl Dooku understood very well that Darth Sidious could also know the consequences, but he still asked him to do this, and the evil intentions contained in it were very obvious. Although this war is bound to be lost according to the predetermined plan, it would be very, very dishonorable to lose the war by beheading heroes!

And if the war is brought to an end now, the war will not be complete... Count Dooku closed his eyes, as if he had already made a decision.

...

Tang Yu sat on a Lambda-class shuttle and drove towards the Guardian Planet. Now that the Battle of Murkana is over, the fleet of the Guardian Planet has also returned to rest and replenish. The planet provided a lot of support to help them rebuild their homeland.

He'd assemble the fleet on Guardians, head straight for Geonosis, and face Anakin Skywalker.

But Tang Yu is also very contradictory now. He is not sure what the consequences will be if he kills Anakin at this time. It is not because he is afraid of Darth Sidious, but because of the Force itself. Because Anakin-Skywalker is the son of the force and the one who brings the force back into balance, killing him, don't know what will happen, maybe it will be bad.

However, the reason why he still decided to send troops was mainly because he wanted to temporarily leave Earl Dooku's side. Now is a very important crossroads, and depending on the choices made by Count Dooku, there may be various completely different results. Under such circumstances, Tang Yu had already said everything that needed to be said, and with Earl Dooku's experience, he naturally didn't need to make his words too obvious. No matter what he does next, it will be superfluous, and it is right to leave space for him, which is why Earl Dooku asked Tang Yu to deal with Anakin.

Tang Yu also believed that Earl Dooku might make a completely different decision from the original plot. In the original plot, Darth Sidious also asked Earl Dooku to kill Asajj Ventress for the same reason, and Earl Dooku agreed to this request after thinking about it.

In the ensuing battle, he deliberately put Ventress into a desperate situation, but Ventress escaped luckily. Ventress, who was full of hatred, returned to her hometown of Dathomir, found Tarzin, the mistress of the Night Sisterhood, and then launched a series of actions to assassinate Count Dooku. Although he failed to kill Earl Dooku in the end, but caught up with the entire Sisterhood of the Night, the secret technique used by Matron Talzin on Earl Dooku also greatly consumed his vitality, which was also in the final battle. One of the reasons Count Dooku was killed by Anakin.

But the current situation is different. Emma Frost's ability is far stronger than that of Ventress, and the guardian planet that supports her is far stronger than the Dark Night Sisterhood, and Tang Yu has been so far The general trend created so far is much better than the original plot. At least after this series of victories, the Federation of Independent Galaxies is really capable of threatening the survival of the Republic!

That's why Tang Yu dared to bring Emma Frost's matter to the public and tell Earl Dooku that this way of retreating into progress also prevented him from making a decision easily.

At this moment, the communicator suddenly sounded, and Emma Frost's voice came: "Tang Yu, aren't you in Lasax? I came here specially to find you on vacation... You don't want to hide from me Right...? I have a lot of time in the future..."

Upon hearing her voice, Tang Yu ignored her seductive words, jumped up and said loudly: "You went to Lasax?? How could you go there!! Shouldn't you follow the fleet back to the guardian A planet?!!"

Emma, ​​however, was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and said suspiciously: "Haven't you been in Lasax all the time? I want to come to you?"

"Get out of there immediately! Go back to the guardian planet! Now!!" Tang Yu said in a deep voice.
