2778. Temporary alliance
--
"Protoss is a great race with a brilliant civilization. But don't think too highly of their moral principles, because not everyone is as upright as Fenix. For They finally chose to leave this galaxy, and I think it was a win-win choice." - Fourth Imperial Marshal Thrawn, who talked about Protoss in his autobiography in his later years.

On the battlefield of Metalon Planet, a seemingly small golden fighter jet is confronting the huge Imperial fleet.
"This is Galactic Empire Admiral, Mis-Lo-Nurudo-Thrawn. Who are you? A powerful warrior. Where do you come from? Olegar, who are you?" Thrawn faced the screen and asked with his head held high, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Olegar is a despicable traitor and a criminal who abuses mind control. He has committed a felony and must be arrested and brought to justice." Fenix's voice echoed like thunder, majestic and deep, full of power.
Thrawn thought for a while and said, "Our mission is to hunt down the Empire's traitor, Demetrius-Zaarin. He colluded with this Olegar. Zaarin is my primary target."
"I tell you very clearly, General Thrawn. The Demetrius-Zaarin you are talking about has been turned into his slave by Olegar through mind control. In the true sense, Zaarin is dead." Fenix said.
"But in my opinion, he is still alive. I must bring him back to Imperial Center, dead or alive." Thrawn stared at the golden-armored warrior in the holographic image, his tone was calm and firm, not wavering at all because of the opponent's strength.
"Then our goals are the same, General." Fenix slowly raised his right arm, golden energy flowed on the armor, and a Psionics blade shot out from his wrist armor, "As long as Olegar's crimes can be ended and the controlled slaves can be recovered, all this disaster will be over."
Thrawn nodded slightly, "Since the goals are the same, I hope to get your help. In the battle just now, Olegar controlled a large number of my warships. If possible, I also hope to save those the Empire soldiers."
"This is impossible." Fenix shook his head and said, "Those slaves controlled by mind control have no possibility of recovery, even if the caster is killed."
Thrawn suddenly frowned and said, "You didn't specifically refer to Olegar. So, does this mean you can also use mind control?"
"As Templar Guardian, I don't know how to control the mind. But the powerful Archon can do it. However, it will be a felony to abuse mind control without the approval of Twilight Council." Fenix replied.
"You said three nouns that are very unfamiliar to me in succession, Fenix. Do you represent a race and civilization, or do you represent a religious organization?" Thrawn asked.
"Now is not the time to make it public, so I can't tell." Fenix said, "This time my target is just Olegar, and I can be sure that if he is not arrested in time, he will bring catastrophic consequences to this galaxy."
Thrawn thought about it again, nodded and said, "Yes, I agree to cooperate with you. But I need to confirm with you that my primary goal is always Demetrius-Zaarin."
Fenix raised his hand and tapped his chest lightly, and said, "Na azum (agree), brave general. I will fight side by side with you to fight against evil! En taro Adun!"
Although some of the words were unintelligible, Fenix's majestic voice made Thrawn feel a surge of blood, as if an ancient warrior made a solemn oath before going to the battlefield.
Thrawn also solemnly performed a military salute, and then asked again, "But before setting off, I hope you can tell me how to resist Olegar's mind control?"
"This is a very difficult thing, and I don't want to hide it. Olegar is the most powerful and top mind controller among us. Even we, if we are not careful, are in danger of being controlled by him." Fenix told the truth, "The only way is to strengthen your own beliefs and strengthen your own the Will, but the effect is minimal."
"Then he is invincible?" Thrawn said with a frown.
"So, Olegar must be arrested! He is a huge threat to the entire galaxy, and even the entire universe!" Fenix said, "Please allow me to board your battleship, General Thrawn. Although I cannot protect all of you, I still have ways to protect you from the threat of mind control."
"Okay, I agree." Thrawn replied.
"Wait a minute, General! This is too dangerous!" High Inquisitor Antillis-Trimein quickly stopped him, "If he is allowed to board our battleship, it will be easy for him to kill us!"
"He won't do that, I'm sure." Thrawn was unmoved.
"I will not violate your trust, General Thrawn." After Fenix finished speaking, he closed the communication and flew the golden fighter jet towards Thrawn's flagship.
Thrawn immediately ordered to open Hangar Platform and let Fenix in.
The golden fighter jet slowly landed on Hangar Platform. The ground crew stopped working and looked at this gorgeous fighter jet. Rather than saying it was a fighter jet, it was a finely crafted work of art. Moreover, the extremely superb manufacturing process meant that even if they looked at it with a magnifying glass, they could not see any welds.
The door of the fighter jet opened slowly. At that moment, I saw a tall and straight figure walking down. He was wearing golden armor and a pure white cloak hanging behind him. He was thin but full of strength. His folded legs had three anti-joints. He seemed to have no mouth, and there were no eyes or pupils in his eyes. There was only a powerful light of energy, like two burning stars.
He walked to Thrawn with steady steps, and Thrawn could only reach the height of his chest.
"Adun zagatir nas (May Adun bless you)! General Thrawn." Fenix raised his hand and tapped his chest again.
He didn't speak, because he had no mouth, but his voice appeared directly in the minds of everyone present! This sudden sound startled everyone here, and a few sensitive people even drew their weapons immediately.
But Thrawn was extremely calm. He immediately raised his hand to stop all excessive actions, then returned Fenix with a military salute and led him to the bridge of his battleship.
Arriving at the bridge, Fenix didn't say much, and directly took out a small crystal and handed it to Thrawn, "This is a piece of Kyber Crystal, which contains The power of High Templar will shield you from Olegar's mind control. However, you must be aware that this crystal has its limits. If Olegar takes action forcefully, it will not be able to completely resist it."
"Thank you for your gift." Thrawn took the crystal and put it into his clothes.
"You deserve this. You are a brave general. I have seen your courage to come back in desperate situations, and your determination to never abandon your soldiers. You deserve respect." Fenix said.
"Well... can you give me a piece? Uh... respected warrior, Fenix." High Inquisitor Antillis-Trimein said from the side.
However, Fenix glanced at him and said with contempt in his tone, "You can't get my gift, let alone Adun's blessing, the Dark Force's messenger. Your heart has succumbed to power., became a slave to power. If on another occasion, I would kill you immediately, but now, I hope you can use your own the Will to resist the temptation of power and return astray. You are not sinking so deep that there is no cure."
"Then will you kill Tang Xiao?" Thrawn suddenly asked, so suddenly that even Fenix was stunned for a moment.
"A very sharp and precise test, General Thrawn." Fenix praised, and then even he fell silent.
After a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely kill him, but definitely not now."
"The war machine called 'Marauders' that appeared on the Dantooine battlefield and the golden transport plane carrying it are also your products, right?" Thrawn then asked.
"This is Twilight Council's decision." Fenix replied.
"So what about you personally?" Thrawn asked.
"From what I have seen and heard since I hunted down Olegar... I support the council's decision." Fenix replied immediately.
"So, you are Separatists's allies, that is, the Empire's enemies!" Antillis-Trimein plucked up the courage to question.
"I'm afraid it's not accurate to use Separatists to describe Kingdom of Dawn." Fenix said, "As for the position issue, if you are unwilling, I will leave immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Then his voice sounded in Thrawn's mind again, "That crystal is my gift, you can still keep it."
"I will assist you!" Thrawn suddenly shouted, "But only until I catch Demetrius-Zaarin. Before that, it is up to you how much damage you can cause to Olegar."
"Na azum, General Thrawn, Na azum..." Fenix finished speaking and left without looking back.
When the golden fighter jet flew past the window, Trimein took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid this mysterious race was brought out by Separatists from Unknown Regions... This news must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor! And..."
He sighed and said dejectedly, "I don't know how to defeat them."
"If they choose to be enemies with the Empire, then I will try my best to stop them. Moreover, they are not invulnerable or flawless. After all, they will also have traitors and scum like Olegar." Thrawn said.
"I hope so..." Trimein was obviously shocked, and even his three views were subverted. He murmured in a low voice, "Do you know who I am missing at this moment? Your Majesty General..."
Thrawn turned back to look at him, frowning slightly.
Trimein raised his head and looked at the ceiling, sighing, "I'm thinking, if Master Yoda is here, he can definitely guide us on how to face this mysterious and powerful race..."
"I have no right to speak about this." Thrawn was noncommittal, "But I suggest that you don't mention such words in the future. It will be very dangerous for you."
A moment later, Fenix sent a communication, [I have deployed some observers in the surrounding galaxies. I will set off first to look for traces of Olegar. Once I find anything, I will notify you immediately.]
"I have received, Templar Guardian, Fenix." Thrawn nodded, and he also silently wrote down the word 'observer'.
Three days later, Thrawn received another communication from Fenix - Olegar appeared near Gromas Planet (Gromas). His fleet had grown again, and it seemed that he had taken control of some pirate groups and civilian spacecraft.
Thrawn, who had returned to Rohe Planet in the past few days and completed fleet maintenance and supplies, immediately ordered the entire army to attack, and the huge Imperial fleet went straight to the target!
Before Thrawn's fleet arrived, Fenix had already piloted his Elite Class's Phoenix fighter to attack Olegar's fleet.
This Phoenix fighter wreaked havoc on the old and backward spacecraft in the Olegar fleet with a speed and maneuverability that completely exceeded all human imagination. Only the most advanced military Fire Control Radar on board Imperial-class Star Destroyer could barely lock Phoenix fighter's actions.
But the lock was locked, and an entire fleet and countless anti-aircraft fire were still helpless against this fighter jet.
Olegar roared in telepathy asking Fenix to come out and challenge him, but Fenix ignored him at all, which made Olegar almost so angry that he was about to explode.
There is no way, Olegar is riding the Deceiver-class destroyer given to him by Tang Xiao - although it has been modernized and modified, it is just an old battleship from the last era after all, while Fenix is flying the most powerful fighter jet currently built by Protoss.
Although the strength gap between the two sides is obvious, the gap between their equipment is also obvious. Fenix will not be stupid enough to give up his advantage and run down to challenge Olegar.
Not to mention that among Sword of Kings, the ghost of Maka Ragnos has been fanning the flames and making sarcastic remarks next to Olegar, which made him even more angry.
"You asked for this! Fenix!!" Olegar roared. He stood in the middle of the bridge, raised his hands high, and an extremely terrifying Psionics erupted from his body shrouded in scarlet flames.
I only saw that around Phoenix fighter driven by Fenix, a large number of Blitz began to appear out of thin air, heading towards the fighter jet! Countless red cracks suddenly tore out in the starry sky, and the violent Blitz twisted around like a giant python.
When Thrawn's fleet left hyperspace, what he saw was such a terrifying scene!
But Thrawn remained unmoved and decisively issued the attack order!
