An obviously modified Neimoidian 'Sheapod'-class shuttle landed smoothly. Two pairs of insect-like landing gears protruded from the belly of the shuttle, supporting the shuttle's fat body to dock.
On the tarmac of Yucheng Palace.
The door of the spaceship opened, and a tall and straight figure appeared at the door. He didn't stop for much, but walked straight down. He looked at Tang Yu and others who had been waiting for a long time, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his gray beard.
, stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency Tang Yu, I have longed for the beautiful Guardian Planet for a long time. Unfortunately, I have been busy with business and just came here today. However, the sapphire-like beauty of the Guardian Planet really made me intoxicated. No,
It’s a useless trip.”
The visitor turned out to be Count Serenno, a former Jedi master and one of the strongest Force users in the galaxy. He had stirred up the separatist movement throughout the galaxy and persuaded thousands of planets to leave the galaxy with his own charisma and talent.
The independent man of the Republic - Count Dooku!
Seeing the majestic old man in a black cloak speaking to him in such a polite tone, Tang Yu did not show any gratitude. Instead, he snorted and said: "I don't know Count Dooku, a traitor to the Republic and a separatist movement."
The leader of our country came to our guardian planet to die?"
Count Dooku smiled politely and did not feel dissatisfied at all. He continued to move forward and said: "I really don't know that Mr. Tang Yu is still so...loyal to the Galactic Republic. But it doesn't matter, I will go before him this time.
Come, my whereabouts will be kept absolutely confidential, no one will know that I am here."
"Then you must have prepared an excuse to prevent me from arresting you immediately and send you to Coruscant to claim credit, right?" As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers of the Blood Red Knights wearing red mechanized exoskeletons left immediately.
He came forward and pointed the ion rifle steadily at Dooku.
Dooku did not appreciate these majestic soldiers. He just observed them with interest and praised them: "Hehehehe, they are simply perfect soldiers! Strong in body, determined in will, and well-equipped! If so,
If the Marines of the Republic’s Justice Fleet are useless, one of these soldiers can defeat 0 of them! May I have the honor of knowing the name of this unit?”
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yu's mouth, and he said lightly: "The Blood Red Knights."
Count Dooku showed an excited smile on his face, and exclaimed: "The Blood Red Knights! Decorating their own glory with the blood of their enemies. Compared with those soldiers who use camouflage to cover themselves, such a knighthood is so unscrupulous.
To announce one's own presence on the battlefield and the death of the enemy..."
As he spoke, he raised his head as if he was very intoxicated and opened his hands, as if he was tasting the mellow wine, "I seemed to see my hometown, the distant history of Serenno, where warriors from all over the world wielded long swords and fought.
A beautiful scene together. This is an army with profound traditions and heritage, just like this beautiful planet."
Tang Yu smiled faintly. 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 Blood Red Knights fully referenced the magical armors and armors in the world of "Dragon Age".
The coat of arms, as well as the armor of the Black Spirits, even refer to the armor styles of some of the Burning Legion demons who invaded the Guardian Space Fortress during the Gold Group promotion battle.
When these medieval magical shapes are brought to this era, they naturally have a very profound historical heritage. However, this inadvertently gave Count Dooku a very good impression.
But Tang Yu still refused to give up. He said coldly: "So, are you planning to surrender? Count Dooku."
"Hehehehe... I think it's better for us to be more direct, Your Excellency Tang Yu." After saying that, Dooku waved his hand gently, and the weapons in the hands of the more than ten Blood Red Knights soldiers immediately flew out of their hands and fell directly from the apron.
Fall down. These soldiers reacted very quickly. The moment they lost their weapons, they immediately raised their hands and popped out the alloy combat blade from their wrist armor, ready to fight at any time.
"Very good, then what direct method do you plan to use?" Tang Yu asked.
"For example, how about buying me a drink special to the Guardian Planet?" Dooku spread his hands to show that he was not hostile.
…
Earl Dooku elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the top-grade black tea inside. He took a long breath and praised: "I have to admit that such a drink full of nature is the best drink I have ever drunk.
One of the delicious drinks.”
Ding, he put down his tea cup, looked at Tang Yu sitting at the other end of the table, and said with a smile: "I would like to ask you how the Guardian Planet can perfectly combine a highly developed industrial civilization with nature.
Got up?"
All it takes is to cause turbulence in time and space, tear the timeline apart, and then reshape the world. Tang Yu answered in his heart, but he said: "About 1,500 years ago, an event occurred on our planet that affected the entire world.
The war almost destroyed our entire civilization. The remaining survivors redeveloped on this continent and rebuilt civilization. And outside this continent, nature is also constantly repairing the damage of the war."
This is the rhetoric that has been prepared for a long time to explain why the Guardian Planet is so empty and the population is so concentrated.
"Look, it's almost time, so let's dine here." Tang Yu waved his hand, and the maids filed in, filling the table with all kinds of carefully cooked delicacies.
Count Dooku was not polite. He washed his hands in the spring water brought by the maid, wiped them clean with a silk scarf, picked up the knife and fork and looked at the delicious dishes on the table. However, he did not start immediately, but
Looking up at Tang Yu, he 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 almost deceived me just now. I guess you already know that I am here."
That’s the purpose, right?”
Tang Yu smiled and did not answer, just made a gesture of invitation. Dooku chose a dish, and the maid next to him immediately served him a bowl of fragrant soup. After taking a sip, Dooku immediately disagreed.
Juekou said, "Well, this dish tastes really delicious!" He said and drank the bowl of soup in one gulp with elegant and quick movements.
"The name of this dish is Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms..." Tang Yu introduced Count Dooku while suppressing the smile in his heart.
Although this dinner was sumptuous, neither party ate much, except for the large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, which was eaten by Dooku. When the maid began to clear the table, there was a heated exchange between Tang Yu and Count Dooku.
Only then did we get to the point.
"I have to say that the Guardian Planet left a very deep impression on me. Your Excellency Tang Yu, this trip is worthwhile, even if it means becoming a prisoner, it is worth it. Okay, 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 did not take action, but looked into Count Dooku's eyes and asked with a smile.
"Oh, I think Speaker Palpatine will be very happy. There is a high probability that he will give you a generous bounty, about two to three hundred million credits. Then he will also give your planet a seat in the parliament. Considering that you
Given the current situation of the planet, I should be able to give you a few old battleships as a gift." Count Dooku thought for a moment before answering.
Tang Yu looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, as if calculating the benefits of doing so, and then suddenly lowered his head and looked into Dooku's eyes and asked: "What if I don't send you to Coruscant, but just ask you for a ransom?"
Dooku did not speak. The old man and the young man just looked at each other, with an enigmatic smile on their lips. (To be continued)
