1398. Return to the throne

"I feel... death. Endless death..." Judgment looked at the sky and murmured.

"Galactic Republic has started to log in to Dexen Satellite, but the information is blocked very strictly, and we cannot know the specific situation." Stila-Gerrera said.

"This is war... something I try my best to avoid." The speaker was an old Beard old man, and his spirit didn't look very good.

This is the former king of Onderon, Ramses-Dundup.

He looked at the transport planes that were constantly rising and falling in the sky, shook his head and sighed, "Whether it is Galactic Republic or Separatists, they are full of corruption. There is no right or wrong in this war, or in other words, both sides are just fighting for their own ambitions... Being involved in such a war is a disaster."

Judgment glanced at him and asked, "Then if you were still in office, would you accept the investment from the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Tyran Heavy Industries before the war broke out?"

"I can tell you with certainty, absolutely not." Dundup said categorically, "But I can also say with certainty that if I refuse, then my position as king will also be lost sooner or later. All of this will still happen..."

At this point, he sighed softly and said, "So, this is why General Kalani even if I are released, I refuse to become the king again - this war leaves us Onderon with only one option, war."

"We must do something!" Stila-Gerrera said, "I know Suo-Gerrera very well. He became the king and will only pull Onderon into the endless Abyss!"

"We should attack Unifar Temple and pull him off the throne!" Seth said, "Your Majesty Dumbledore, in our minds, you are the real king of Onderon."

"This is just that I was overthrown by Sanji Rush's coup before everything happened, which gave you beautiful illusions. In fact, even if I was not overthrown at that time, the outcome would not have changed much. And what I can tell you is that the reason why Sanji Rush's coup was successful was that It is inseparable from the support of many large companies and conglomerates on our planet. "Now that you see the war caused by Tai Lun Heavy Industry's investment, you naturally think it is wrong. But at that time, who could really refuse the increase in output value and income?"

He turned to Stella Gerrera and said, "Moreover, even if we really succeed, overthrow Saw Gerrera and let me return to the throne, so what? Can I still say that I will withdraw from the war and remain neutral? Once I say this, Wilhuff Tarkin's army will immediately take me to prison again and re-appoint a king he can control. And if I accept the conditions of the Galactic Republic and join the war? Then how different will my actions after obeying Tarkin's orders be from Saw Gerrera?"

Stila-Gerrera sat slumped on a box, held his head and said with great sadness, "Then let's just watch things continue to get worse? Are we still going to continue to evacuate civilians everywhere? Where else on the entire planet is safe now? We also received intelligence just now that Galactic Republic has requisitioned an agricultural area outside the city and built a temporary hospital there. Many medical robots and medicines have been sent from other galaxies."

Her eyes were a little dazed, "But... but there are more than 7,000 civilians hiding in that agricultural area. They were forced to leave their homes and were driven out of the city to make room for Republic army, and now they are facing being kicked out again... Then where can we send them?"

Ramses-Dundup smiled slightly at this time, walked over and patted Stila-Gerrera gently on the back, and said warmly, "This war does not give us Onderon any choice. We are unable to control our own destiny. If you are looking for an answer, then I will tell you that the answer... is outside."

"Outside?" Stila was still a little confused, "I don't quite understand."

"Compared with Suo-Gerrera, your biggest advantage is that you are more willing to listen to the people's voices than anyone else, and you can also clearly recognize your shortcomings. You are still young and there are still too many things to learn." Dundup said with a smile, "So now, we old bones still have to do something."

He stood up, his expression becoming extremely serious, "I will ascend the throne again and lead the people of Onderon through these most difficult and painful steps."

"Dundup... Your Majesty..." Stila-Gerrera looked at him, not knowing what to say. But in my heart, I was already in awe.

At this time, Ramses-Dundup said to Judgment, "You are not Jedi Knight, but I can still feel your extremely powerful strength from you. Strength. I ask you to help Stila, help our soldiers... I only hope that at this time, we can give our people another way. Without your help, we cannot attack Unifar Temple."

Judgment looked at Dundup, then looked at the sky, and said, "I will help you, as a bystander. After that, I will leave and go up to Dexen Satellite to rescue that person."

Stila-Gerrera asked a little strangely, "Who are you trying to save? That person is on Dexen Satellite? It's a battlefield right now."

Judgment replied calmly, "It doesn't matter, the person I want to save is called Zhang Jiarui. One of Tyran Heavy Industries's senior engineers, an expert in energetics and engineering, he is the one who presided over the design of Tyran Heavy Industries's Experimental Weapon Thor Mech."

"Oh, you are indeed from Separatists. But you are not like those mercenaries who work for the Mega-corporations giant of Separatists. You give me the feeling that you don't seem to care about money." Dundup said.

However, when Stila-Gerrera heard the name Thor Mech (THOR), their faces instantly turned pale!

In her mind, the massacre when they went to intercept THOR immediately emerged. The Rebel Alliance warriors who were burned beyond recognition by the white phosphorus bombs that rained down like raindrops, the miserable screams and painful roars...

And during subsequent investigations, she also learned that the person driving Thor Mech at that time was one of the chief designers of this weapon, Zhang Jiarui.

But now, this mysterious Jedi Knight, who has been with them for several days, has been helping them, and saving many Rebel Alliance soldiers and civilians, is her purpose actually to save Zhang Jiarui?

That Butcher who killed a lot of the Rebel Alliance soldiers?!
