757, as timid as a mouse
"You must save me, I don't want to die! Lord Necromancer!" Newt Gunray begged loudly to Tang Xiao in the holographic projection, "Lord Sidious will not let me go!"
When he saw the good news from the planet Cato Neimoidia, Newt Gunray knew that something was wrong. Now he began to worry about gains and losses again, and the determination he had made with gritted teeth was thrown out of the sky again.
In the Cato-Neimoidia planet raid, almost the entire 7th Squadron of the 2nd Army of the Galactic Republic was wiped out, including 6 of the 7 capital ships.
The two Commander-class dreadnoughts that served as flagships were successively destroyed by the Plague. An Inquisitor-class battlecruiser was besieged by a large number of Coyote robot bombers while rescuing the flagship, and finally lost control and crashed into a satellite.
Two other Inquisitor-class battlecruisers and a Governor-class battleship were also destroyed during the battle.
The 7th Squadron had a total of seven giant capital ships and only one Commander-class dreadnought returned with damage. In addition, the fleet had a total of 3,000 fighter jets, only more than 800 of which returned, and other small and medium-sized warships suffered countless losses.
Moreover, more than 200,000 members of the Republic Navy died in this battle, which can be said to be quite tragic. Among them, only more than 3,000 crew members on the two Commander-class dreadnoughts survived, and several other large warships were also old-fashioned.
Battleship, so many crew members died along with the battleship.
After the war, the Titan battleship Plague did not leave, but temporarily joined the garrison of the planet Cato-Neimoidia and began to receive repairs and supplies locally.
Because of the presence of this terrifying battleship, the Galactic Republic urgently recalled all reinforcement fleets heading towards the planet Cato-Neimoidia.
One can imagine how angry Darth Sidious, who wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Plague Titan battleship, was.
It’s no wonder that as soon as Newt Gunlay saw the battle report, his legs became weak and he ran over to Tang Xiao for help.
"You know, now you should call me...Tang Xiao, well, it's better to add the title of Governor." Tang Xiao said with a smile.
"Lord Sidious will definitely kill me, he will definitely do it!" Newt Gunray panicked.
"Okay, you now know who he is, so you should understand that he will not leave Coruscant casually." Tang Xiao said seriously, "So, as long as the war does not fail for one day, you will always be safe."
Newt Gunray said eagerly: "But... he will... you will..." He didn't know how to describe it for a while, so he could only make random gestures.
Tang Xiao suddenly said, "Oh, you mean this?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand gently, and a force of force blew over Newt Gunray's neck like a breeze. Newt Gunray, who was already as frightened as a bird, jumped up with a loud scream, and sat back down.
land.
Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "Of course I can make it impossible for Darth Sidious to deal with you like this. However, in this way, he will understand the relationship between us, and maybe you will be in more trouble."
"Then he will definitely kill me, he will definitely..." Newt Gunray was already frightened.
"Go find Count Dooku." Tang Xiao said calmly.
"Count Dooku? Isn't he the disciple of Darth Sidious? If you look for him, you'll be seeking your own death!" Newt Gunray was shocked.
"No, Count Dooku was actually deceived by Darth Sidious. After all, no one wants to be a victim, right?" Tang Xiao said with a smile, "Go to Count Dooku and tell him Darth Sidious."
Sidious asked you to destroy the Plague, but you didn't do it, so that's fine."
"He will definitely kill me too!" Newt Gunray yelled.
The smile on Tang Xiao's lips became a little eerie, "This is your only way to survive, Newt Gunray. If you dare to come to the Dawn Planet at this time, then you should understand that you will only die faster.
"
He moved his fingers, and the dark side force brushed Newt Gunray's neck again, and then sneered and closed the communication.
Newt Gunray sat on the ground with a dull expression. After a long time, he stood up tremblingly.
"Are you sure this will succeed?" Helmut Zemo's voice appeared next to Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao sat at his desk, but looked sideways out of the window and said calmly: "It must succeed. The Trade Alliance is just the beginning. My real purpose is to completely separate Count Dooku from Darth Sidious."
Control! Only in this way can we survive the war. For this goal, I will pay any price."
"So this is why you haven't revealed Palpatine's true identity?" Zemo said.
Tang Xiao took a sip of the cold coffee on the table and said: "The Jedi Order is still strong, and we need to wait until they are further weakened by the war. Moreover, if Palpatine's true identity is revealed now, we will lose Dooku.
The Earl’s… Then we can only fight against Darth Sidious alone.”
He stood up and walked towards the door, adding by the way, "The way to death."
He put on a black cloak and came to the secret hangar platform specially prepared for him in the Glory mothership. He piloted his own aircraft with the same name as the 'Red Comet', and also installed an additional sharp-pointed elite on the cockpit.
- level Viking fighter jet, flying towards the planet Hoth.
In that direction, a new storm is beginning to brew.
…
Newt Gunray finally summoned up the greatest courage and went to the planet Serenno to meet Count Dooku.
After he passed, he did not dare to hide it, and told the story of the Plague Titan battleship's attack on the planet Cato Neimoidia, and then told Count Dooku that Darth Sidious asked him to take the opportunity to destroy the Plague, but
He didn't do it.
Not only did he fail to do so, he also cooperated with the Plague to annihilate the Republic's 7th Squadron...
Count Dooku just listened to Newt Gunray quietly, then stood up, waved his hand, and the holographic projection on the side was opened by invisible force, switching to the official news channel of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
[Great victory on the planet Cato-Neimoidia! The Titan battleship Plague suddenly appeared in the core circle of the Republic and annihilated the 7th Squadron of the Republic in one fell swoop!]
[The fleet of Cato-Neimoidia has completely broken free of its shackles and will now threaten the heart of the Galactic Republic at all times!!]
[In the latest round of public opinion polls, more than 65% of voters agreed to grant Admiral Severance Tann the honor of Navy Marshal!]
Not only that, the video screen is also constantly showing the densely packed wreckage of Republic warships on the battlefield outside the planet Cato-Neimoidia.
Especially the horrifying scenes of the two Commander-class dreadnoughts, one broken into two pieces and the other directly beaten into a big crater, stimulated people's nerves.
