Chapter 341: The Modified Lightsaber Succeeds in Showing Off! The Jedi Knight Returns!

At this moment, the Empire's stormtroopers were still patrolling the streets, and were constantly broadcasting propaganda broadcasts to warn citizens passing by.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝙩𝙬𝙠𝙖𝙣.𝙘𝙤𝙢]

[The First Galactic Empire is committed to combating Saw Gerrera’s terrorist rebellion. Thanks to the efforts of the imperial army, it is possible to protect the lives and property of everyone. 】

[Please firmly support our security operations and jointly maintain peace and order in the galaxy! 】

The Guerrera mentioned in the broadcast was a rebel leader from the planet Onderon. Before the establishment of the Galactic Empire, he participated in the Clone War and resisted the invasion of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The so-called Confederation of Independent Systems is a force led by the Trade Federation. This group of consortium companies that are not short of money has established a group of military forces based on robots.

Under Palpatine's instigation, the Trade Federation launched an attack on the Old Republic. In the end, Palpatine, who benefited from the war, successfully took over the political legacy of the Republic at the minimum cost.

The new Galactic Empire was officially established after the Clone Wars!

However, even after the Galactic Empire was established, Guerrera, the leader of the rebel army, was still sparing no effort to fight against the Empire's rule.

In various areas of the galaxy, Guerrera is also the behind-the-scenes supporter of various rebel armies, giving money and food to people in order to succeed in starting their own business and re-establish a new republic.

Listening to the imperial troops patrolling outside, Chilu expressed his disgust unabashedly:

"If they hadn't instigated the war, there would have been no rebels at all, let alone the so-called terrorist riots."

"I think they know very well who is threatening the peace and order of the galaxy for their own selfish purposes!"

Paul didn't say anything. In the final analysis, this kind of thing is just a winner and a loser. There is no justice and order. The winner takes all the power and prestige. It all depends on personal strength.

"Forget it, let's continue talking about serious things."

Chirrut sighed, waved his hand, and then led Paul and Qini into the ruins of the Kaibo Temple. They came all the way to a remote corner.

Immediately afterwards, Chilu began to use the crutch in his hand to insert it into a piece of soft ground, and quickly dug into the soil, as if looking for something.

"A few years ago, the empire's army looted all the Kyber crystals in the entire temple. We guardians are so humble that we can't save the entire temple."

"But some things can still be left behind."

After he finished speaking, Chiru finally dug out an object that looked like a flashlight from the pit. He wiped off the dirt on it and solemnly handed the object to Paul.

"I think every Jedi will never forget it, even if they give up this identity."

Looking at the Jedi Force lightsaber in his hand, Paul immediately remembered the image he had seen in the headquarters database, which was exactly the same as this thing!

"Of course, I have fought side by side with it for many years. Even if I leave it, I will never forget it."

Paul didn't expect that he would gain the other party's trust so quickly and even steal a piece of equipment from the blind monk.

But this is also the reason why Chirrut stayed in Jedda City, perhaps so that one day he could hand over this lightsaber to a trustworthy Jedi Knight.

"Come on, try this sword!"

Chirrut invited Paul, his voice full of expectation, if the glory of the Jedi could return to Jedda City.

The believers in the Force who have lost their faith will surely stand up again to fight against the brutal imperial rule.

However, Paul shook his head and refused: "No, I am not ready yet. Picking up the lightsaber means that I will be an enemy of the empire."

"The imperial army's minions will not let any Jedi go."

Paul said that, but in reality, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to activate the lightsaber.

After all, he was not a Jedi Knight at all, and he had never received training related to the Force. If he failed to activate the lightsaber, the scene would be a bit embarrassing.

"is that so……"

Chirrut understood Paul's hesitation. Not every Jedi would pay a heavy price with their lives for their faith.

The upright and righteous Jedi Knights had long since died under the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Army. Even if the remaining Jedi Knights did not surrender to the enemy, they would temporarily go through a period of confusion and loss.

"Well, I'll keep this thing for the time being. Once you're mentally prepared, you can decide whether to use it to defend the glory of the Jedi."

Chirrut nodded. As long as he could find the Jedi, he would have plenty of time to slowly mobilize them and follow the rebel camp to crush the imperial army.

"Since you can sense the Force, it means that you should also have the potential to become a Jedi Knight. Why don't you use this sword."

Paul asked aloud.

As the great master of swordsmanship in a giant company, Paul could see that Chiru's skills were most likely not bad.

After all, the opponent has a "Master Ip Man" face, and he looks like he can hit ten.

Immediately, Chilugan smiled and shook his head: "I am just a Force-sensitive person. I can only sense the fluctuations of the Force, but I cannot control it."

"What's more, if the Imperial Army found out that I knew how to use a lightsaber, they would have arrested me long ago. How could I stay here and wait for the return of the Jedi Knights?"

After listening to Chirrut's explanation, Paul looked at the cane in his hand, which looked like a lightsaber core module, and nodded thoughtfully.

Maybe Chirrut is not a Jedi Knight now, but he may awaken the Force in the future and become a lightsaber holder.

Just as the two were talking in the Kyber Temple, there was a sudden commotion and continuous explosions in the city.

Then there was a continuous sound of gunfire. Obviously, a new resistance conflict broke out!

"No, I have to go out and see."

Chirrut seemed to have thought of something. He quickly left Paul and ran out, fearing that he would be a step late.

But Paul did not rush out after Chirrut. He took advantage of the gap when the other party disappeared and called a manticore AI drone through the internal communicator.

Soon, a drone with optical camouflage faded appeared out of thin air in the temple and quietly stayed in front of Paul.

Since the integration of the Halo and Transformers universes, the AI ​​drones under the giant company have also ushered in an unprecedented version update!

The AI ​​drone made of deformable metal can change into any form according to the command, and the optical camouflage given by hard light technology can also make the AI ​​drone almost "invisible".

And this new drone model is also Paul's favorite reconnaissance machine, although it has no weapon system and cannot provide him with firepower assistance.

But this drone has a built-in AI Red Queen, which can perform perfect virus hacking, intelligence analysis and other tasks.

Like this lurking operation, this invisible drone followed Paul throughout the whole process, and it would not appear until Paul needed it.

"Upload the analysis data of this thing to the headquarters, hurry up."

After Paul handed the lightsaber to the Manticore AI drone, he looked around cautiously, beware of someone paying attention to the situation here.

After the AI ​​drone took the lightsaber, it immediately scanned it through a professional analysis instrument, and quickly sorted out the data obtained and uploaded it to the headquarters' database.

[Analysis progress 80%, data information is being uploaded. ]

Paul now urgently needs to activate this Force lightsaber, no matter what method is used as a drive.

Only by using this lightsaber in front of the public can he prove his identity as a Jedi Knight.

Otherwise, if he just hides and dodges, he will be exposed sooner or later!

Paul only knows that he has awakened the psychic power in his body with spices, and can perfectly predict the opponent's actions during combat, but he is not sure whether his psychic power can be compatible with the Kyber crystal.

If it can be compatible, it would be great, which can also save Paul a lot of trouble.

If it doesn't work, then you can only take out the Kyber crystal in the lightsaber and replace it with the energy core in the "Halo" universe.

Forcibly turn it into a high-energy laser blade in the shape of a lightsaber, and then slightly adjust the shape and color of the blade, it can almost achieve a fake effect.

Force lightsabers and laser swords, except for Jedi Knights who often use lightsabers, ordinary people can't easily tell whether it is a real thing or a fake.

Here, when Paul sent the lightsaber data back to the headquarters, the staff of the research department immediately launched a series of research and analysis.

However, due to the urgency of time, the research department could not determine whether psychic energy could awaken the Kyber crystal, so through the superluminal communication equipment, the AI ​​drone was used to transform the lightsaber.

Not long after, the drone replaced the Kyber crystal and replaced its built-in energy core with the lightsaber.

After a while, a new drone will come to replace this drone, continue to cooperate with Paul to complete the investigation mission, and bring the Kyber crystal back to the research institute at the headquarters.

After getting the successfully transformed lightsaber, Paul immediately rushed out with Chini to see how the situation outside had developed.

At this time, the streets in the city had already been in chaos because of the fight, and the Empire's stormtroopers and the rebels were fighting fiercely.

Relying on the cover of local residents and the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, the rebels were able to beat the Empire Army at the beginning.

They perfectly used the terrain advantage and various harassment tactics to launch offensive attacks on the stormtroopers from all directions.

But soon, the Stormtroopers, relying on their equipment advantage and the tanks' laser artillery, instantly blasted the rebels' building area into pieces.

Broken walls and flesh and blood mixed with dust splashed out, and the rebel camp began to suffer a large number of casualties.

At the same time, the Imperial troops who received the alarm were also continuously sending reinforcements to this chaotic urban area.

Coupled with the firepower support of the 20-meter-high all-terrain armored bipedal walker AT-ST, the Imperial troops who came to their senses began to counterattack the rebels.

The battle situation on the scene also began to tilt towards the Imperial Army.

In contrast, the rebels' weapons and equipment seemed very simple. They were just civilians who took up weapons and were not as well-trained as the Imperial Army.

Not only did they not have enough armor to protect their bodies, but once they were hit by blasters, they would be shattered to pieces. Even the weapons in their hands were extremely backward.

The blaster laser rifles they used were still the old models from more than ten years ago, and the anti-armor tank weapons could only use thermal grenades. Both of these weapons are useless against the Empire's tank armor. The only way to stop the Imperial Army is for the rebels to risk their lives and throw grenades under the tank tracks.

Only in this way can there be a chance to blow up an Imperial tank.

But such a suicide attack charge is completely a drop in the bucket. It is considered good if one out of ten people succeeds.

In most cases, this group of rebels can't get close to the armored tanks.

The equipment gap between the two sides is too large. Once the confrontation lasts too long, the advantage will go to the Imperial forces.

And this rebel force with a rather exaggerated combat style does not belong to the Rebel Alliance, but to the extreme terrorist leader Saw Gerrera mentioned in the city-wide broadcast by the Empire.

Gerrera is a typical reckless rebel leader who does things without caring about the casualties of civilians. In many cases, the damage and impact he caused are not even less than that of the Imperial Army.

As an extreme uprising rebel, Saw Gerrera's troops are indeed extreme terrorists, and the Galactic Empire also regards them as the main target of extermination.

For the Rebel Alliance, they and the rebels have a common enemy after all. Although the two sides work together, they are not in the same system.

Faced with the rebels' actions, the rebels are often quite helpless.

At this moment, the battle in the city has already started. The Rebels and the Resistance fought on their own, coordinating with each other to attack the Imperial Army in different ways.

In this melee of multiple forces, Captain Cassian Andor from the Rebel Alliance and Jyn Erso, the daughter of Galen Erso, the designer of the Death Star.

In order to save a girl on the battlefield, they had to expose their tracks and first killed a rebel.

Later, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Imperial Stormtroopers, they fell into a dilemma of fighting.

At this moment, they were chased by the Rebels and the Imperial Army at the same time. In a panic, they were blocked by a group of Stormtroopers.

Chirrut ran out quickly just to meet them.

After arriving at the chaotic war zone, Paul and Chinny hid nearby first, preparing to observe secretly before deciding whether to take action.

Since they want to get into the Rebel camp, they naturally have to wait until the other side needs them before rescuing them.

Only in this way can we leave a deep enough impression in front of the other party.

At this moment, Chirrut was seen leaning on a cane, step by step towards the group of stormtroopers who trapped Cassian and Jyn Erso, and he was still muttering in his mouth, like a monk chanting:

"The Force is with me, and I am one with the Force."

"I will be fearless, because everything is guided by the Force."

Seeing the blind monk who came out of nowhere and walked over with a godly look, the stormtroopers present were confused at first, and then warned him:

"Hey! Stop and don't move, otherwise we will shoot!"

People will always subconsciously relax towards the weak. Looking at the blind monk in front of them, these stormtroopers did not take the other party seriously.

After all, no one would think that a blind man with a cane would pose any substantial threat to their fully armed stormtroopers.

However, when they found that Chirrut did not stop according to their orders, the stormtroopers began to raise their guns and aim at Chirrut.

"I said, stop right there, or I'll really shoot!"

The captain of this stormtrooper didn't care whether the other party was blind or deaf-mute. They had a good reason to kill anyone who dared to come here and get in the way.

Seeing Chiru still walking forward fearlessly, the leading stormtrooper immediately pulled the trigger, but at the moment of pulling the trigger, Chiru seemed to have turned on the automatic bullet avoidance hook.

He dodged with a ghostly and agile move, and actually avoided the oncoming blaster beam.

The next second, Chiru, who was close to him, immediately waved his crutches and knocked the blaster rifle in the hands of the stormtrooper captain, and then grabbed the other party.

Seeing this scene, the other stormtroopers who came to their senses immediately pulled the trigger and fired at Chiru.

"Kill him--!"

As soon as the voice fell, all the members of the stormtrooper team fired at the same time, but it was too late.

Chirrut, who was already close to him, grabbed the captain of the Stormtroopers and brought him in front of him, acting as a human shield to block bullets and resist the oncoming blaster beams.

It must be said that the white armor on the Stormtroopers still has good defensive properties.

Although there is no way to block the concentrated fire attack of this round of blaster beams, at least it will not be directly penetrated by the blaster lasers, which can ensure that Chirrut will not be hit.

Chirrut's skills are not like those of a blind person at all, but more like Master Ip Man in size!

His movements are quite fast, accurate and ruthless. Chirrut dodges among the Imperial Stormtroopers, and his fists, as fast as a storm, keep hitting each Stormtrooper.

In such a short distance, the Stormtroopers who are worried about accidentally hurting their own people can only hesitate to aim and shoot, which also gives Chirrut enough opportunities to attack.

As Chirrut knocked out the last Stormtrooper with a kick, he successfully rescued Captain Cassian and Jyn Erso.

The reason why Chirrut was able to find Jean's location so quickly was because the necklace she was wearing was a Kyber crystal of extremely high purity.

Being able to refine Kyber crystal to this degree only meant that the wearer's identity was definitely not simple, and this was why Chirrut rescued the other person.

He really wanted to know the origin of this Kyber crystal necklace, but unfortunately the chaotic war zone environment did not give him the opportunity to ask.

Just as Chiru cleaned up the Stormtroopers, another Stormtroopers arrived here quickly, and they were in trouble again.

‘It’s bad, now we can only run for our lives! ’

Chiru thought to himself that it was not good.

Although he was quite skilled, Chiru knew that the reason he was able to knock down the Stormtroopers just now was mainly because he had the opportunity to get close to the enemy with the help of his blind identity.

The newly arrived Stormtroopers would not give him the opportunity to fight in close combat like before.

Once the enemy opened fire, even if Chiru was in the big size of “Master Ip Man”, he could only follow the rules of accurate and fast guns.

At this moment, Chiru’s partner, Bez Mabius, would also be Chiru’s personal bodyguard who had previously held a heavy hand cannon and protected Chiru, ready to stand up and cover the three of them.

But at this moment, a shadow suddenly swept over and appeared on the battlefield.

That man was Paul Atreides!

In order to play the hero's debut well, Chini only secretly used a sniper rifle to assist from a distance, while Paul himself came forward to play the hero.

Immediately, Paul stretched out his right hand, and the Scorpion AI drone hidden in the dark immediately threw the modified Force lightsaber over.

From the visual effect, it was as if Paul had absorbed the lightsaber in his hand with his own Force.

And this scene also perfectly restored one of the Jedi Knight's moves, the Force grabbing objects.

Then, Paul swung the hilt of the sword and pressed the modified start switch, and a sharp and dazzling cold light emerged.

When this set of debut process was performed in front of everyone, the Imperial Stormtroopers who came to support them also began to panic.

They have been stationed here for so long, and it stands to reason that the Jedi Knights have been captured or recovered completely, so how come another Jedi Knight suddenly appeared.

If a Jedi Knight appeared in the Rebel camp, the situation would be troublesome!

"Ignore him, fire immediately!"

The captain of the Stormtroopers gave an order. He didn't care whether this man was a Jedi or not. Even if he was a Jedi, he would still be injured if he was hit by a blaster.

In an instant, dense blaster beams swept towards Paul, but dodging bullets was already a common thing for Paul.

With the ability to predict the war, he could predict the landing point of the beam 100%. Even if there was a beam that could not be avoided, he could still cut it off with a lightsaber.

Seeing Paul constantly shuttling between the gunfire and the rain of bullets like a ghost, a group of imperial stormtroopers were like seeing a ghost. A Jedi of this level must be a master at the bottom!

But it was too late to wake up at this time. Paul, holding a lightsaber, rushed into the camp of the Stormtroopers and chopped the soldiers down with a sword.

The energy cutting effect of hard light is not much different from that of the Force lightsaber.

At least Paul relied on his lightning-fast body movements to cover up the subtle differences between the genuine Force lightsaber and the pirated hard lightsaber.

In addition, when the stormtrooper was cut off by the lightsaber in Paul's hand, along with his armor, no one would deliberately observe that something was wrong with the lightsaber in Paul's hand.

Everyone was only amazed at the skills of this Jedi master, which was really too exaggerated.

This physical strength and control are definitely a master-level figure among Jedi Knights!

At this moment, Chirrut was more convinced of Paul's identity. After all, he was flying the sword with the Force, holding a lightsaber, and slashing out a set of cool combos.

No one else can do it except Jedi Knights!

"It seems that you have decided to pick up the lost lightsaber again." Chirrut said with relief.

Being able to win over a master-level Jedi Knight for the rebels can definitely greatly boost the morale of the resistance against the empire.

"Leave this to me."

Paul spoke calmly, his demeanor and style of a hermit were highlighted to the fullest.

This act was very natural, and he also had the airs of a Jedi Knight.
