"We need more warriors, Master Thora Balk." Count Dooku said, "Right now our strength is still not enough. Both the Jedi Order and the Death Angels are very powerful beings."
"But at least for now, the Angels of Death and us are still allies." Thora Balk said.
"The Dead Angels are the same as Darth Sidious. If we want to continue to maintain this relationship, the only choice is to become his subordinates." Count Dooku's tone gradually turned cold, "They are the real West.
Sith Lord, and we naturally know what these Sith Lords are."
Thora Balk nodded, looking thoughtful.
"The Angel of Death has been tempting me with the Book of Sith. He claimed that as long as my name and title are recorded in the Book of Sith, I will be recognized by the dark side." Count Dooku said coldly, "He
Others may be able to do it, but I know better than anyone else that the Sith does not mean the dark side."
Thora Balk said: "If what you said is true, then I can confirm that the prerequisite for the Death Angel to enter your name into the Book of Sith is for you to become his apprentice."
"This is unacceptable!" Count Dooku said in a deep voice, "I have practiced the Force for nearly a hundred years, and I have my own understanding and my own path! I have fought against the Angel of Death... His power is no better than mine.
He is strong, but he only holds a few ancient Sith artifacts, so I am helpless. He can't teach me anything in the way of the Force!"
"What he practices is the way of eternal life, the force of life." Thora Balk said.
"And death is still very far away from me. Even if I don't use the way to eternal life, I still have enough time. The angel of death cannot tempt me." Count Dooku said, "I have made up my mind, and I established my independence with my own hands.
The Galaxy Confederation! Spanning the outer and middle rings of the Milky Way, holding tens of thousands of galaxies in its hands! This power belongs to me now, and no one can take it away! Whether it is the Death Angel or Darth Sidious!"
"So, you need more and stronger warriors. I understand, my friend, Master Dooku." Thora Balk nodded and said, "And you know, I will always be on your side, my friend.
.”
"That's right, and you are the only person I can discuss with, Master Balk." Count Dooku said.
"Force-sensitive people are very rare, let alone powerful warriors. So if we want to find such a target in a short time, we can only look for those special planets. For example, the planet Harunkar, such as Dassault
Planet Mir..." Master Thora Balk said.
"The planet Harunkar is within the control of the Dawn Planet, and I hope to hide this matter from the Death Angel Dathomir..." Count Dooku pondered.
"I heard that Darth Maul, a powerful warrior, came from the planet Dathomir. This is a planet with a very powerful force, and there are many powerful force-sensitive people in it. However, they do not accept the Galactic Republic.
and the Confederation of Independent Systems, refusing the warriors of their own planet to join either party." Thora Balk said.
"I want you to help me take a trip to the planet Saumur to find that powerful warrior..." Count Dooku said, "I know someone, Mother Talzin, the leader of the Sisters of the Night. She is
We have trained many excellent assassins, and I think she should be able to help us in this matter."
"I am heading to the planet Dathomir, my friend." Master Thora Balk nodded, and then closed the communication.
…
While the two giants in the galaxy, the Interstellar Banking Association and Rendili Interstellar Power Corporation, almost invariably broke out into riots, there were also undercurrents surging in other parts of the galaxy.
The time has come to 20BBY, mid-February.
The Galactic Republic's counterattack is still a six-pronged attack with great momentum. Even though it has not made any real breakthrough progress until now, as the Galactic Republic continues to increase its troops in various directions, the strength of the Confederacy of Independent Systems resisting in various places has gradually become stronger.
Starting to feel overwhelmed.
At present, the only one that has made a breakthrough is the army attacking the northeastern border of the galaxy.
Under the fierce fighting of the Republic's 10th Army and the 11th Army, the Republic could be said to be unstoppable in the northeastern direction. After repeatedly defeating the defense forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, they successfully regained the planet Yavin IV.
At this time, a planetary alliance located within the jurisdiction of the Republic's 10th Army began to find itself in a very embarrassing position.
This is the Neutrals Alliance, a temporary alliance led by the planet Mandalore and joined by more than 1,500 star systems.
This alliance did not reject the leadership of the Galactic Republic, but they refused to join the war and claimed that they were absolutely neutral. In order to enhance their own strength and prevent the warring parties from forcing them to take sides, more than 1,500 galaxies united to form this neutral alliance.
Alliance of
The planet Mandalore is famous for its brave and capable Mandalorian super commandos, and the Mandalorians are also the best bounty hunters and warriors. At the same time, the planet Mandalore was also very prosperous more than 4,000 years ago.
The core of the Mandalorian Crusade.
Even though the Mandalorian Crusade has been destroyed for four thousand years, the influence of the planet Mandalore is still very large, so this alliance of neutrals uses the planet Mandalore as its leader.
The ruler of the planet Mandalore, the Grand Duchess Satine, is also the leader of the Neutrals Alliance.
As the Galactic Republic continues to advance in the Northeastern Territory of the Galaxy, the Republic's military has increasing demands on logistics. What's more, on the premise that the Northeastern Territory is progressing smoothly, it is natural that the Republic wants to strengthen its offensive in the Eastern Territory of the Galaxy.
.
Because in the outer star area in the east direction, there are important planets such as Semires, Felucia, Kashyyyk, Dark (Mon Calamari), Jabim and other important planets, as well as independent galaxies.
The administrative capital of the Confederacy, the subplanet Laxus.
It can be said that in the entire counterattack plan of the Galactic Republic, the attack on the Eastern Territory is the top priority. As long as it can conquer the Eastern Territory all the way and regain the Laxus System, then the Confederation of Independent Systems will undoubtedly fall apart!
Therefore, the position of the Neutral Alliance now begins to become more critical.
If the army of the Galactic Republic can get supplies from the Neutrals Alliance, or be stationed directly in this star area, then their strategic space will be greatly increased, and the military operations to counterattack the northeastern and eastern territories of the galaxy will be smoother.
.
But here's the problem - the Neutrals Alliance refuses entry to all military-related spacecraft from both warring parties!
