2233. The End of Lord of War (Part 1)
Facing Jing Fang who suddenly came in front of him, Ghost Agent drew his knife and stabbed him, but no matter how he was his opponent, he was immediately punched in the neck by Jing Fang. His Adam's apple was shattered, and he fell to the ground dead while covering his neck.
Jing Fang looked at the body of Ghost Agent, kicked away the C-10 sniper rifle on the ground, looked around, and said in the communicator, "This should be the last one... His mission is to kill Yuri-Orlov first when he sees that the situation is irreversible."
Arden-Lin on the other side shook the headphones in his hand, sneered at Yuri-Orlov, who was still sitting in the wreckage of the spacecraft, and said, "Did you hear that? It seems that Tang Xiao had no intention of letting you live from the beginning."
"Hehehe..." Yuri-Orlov smiled bitterly. He fumbled for a cigar from his chest, shook it at Arden Lin and asked, "Is it okay?"
"If this makes you feel more comfortable." Arden Lin nodded.
Yuri lit the cigar, put it in his mouth, took a deep puff, and said, "This is actually not that surprising...Tang Xiao is actually quite ruthless. Even before he came into contact with Dark Side Force, some of his decisions were immature, but they already seemed very ruthless. Moreover, I am not really subordinate to Duchy of Dawn now. It is normal for him to guard against me."
He smiled, blew out a puff of smoke in the direction of Arden Lin, and said, "But to be honest, he has indeed changed too much. At the beginning, he said that he was dreaming, dreaming about the prophecy of the Force, so he wanted to follow me to Tatooine. At that time, he only He's a big boy, ha. Ugh, cough cough cough... Then, there are the interstellar pirates Iron Tooth-Kuken, and his ship Hammerhead-class cruiser... This is how my journey with Tang Xiao begins..."
Arden Lin's nose suddenly trembled, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "No smoking! Spit it out!!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward and snatched the cigar from Yuri's mouth.
But it was already too late, Yuri-Orlov's lips were black and blue, the capillaries under his skin turned black visibly to the naked eye, and his body began to twitch involuntarily.
However, there was still a smile on his face, "Although... I left Duchy of Dawn, but... how could I really leave... Ahem, this is all business... Ha cough... In the end... cough... I still..."
He raised his hand and pointed behind Arden Lin.
Arden-Lin looked back and saw hundreds of spaceships rising into the sky from a distance, quickly sinking into the sky and disappearing without a trace.
When she turned to look at Yuri-Orlov, she found that his raised hand had drooped down, and his whole body was completely silent.
After a while, Hora and Sok came over after cleaning up the remaining soldiers around them. Jing Fang came to the wreckage of the spacecraft a few minutes later and saw the bodies of Yuri-Orlov.
"Poisoned?" Jing Fang frowned.
"He committed suicide. And... we couldn't prevent his last batch of arms from being sent out." Arden-Lin sighed, squatted down and rummaged through Yuri-Orlov's clothes for a while. He found nothing else, only a stack of business cards with dynamic image functions.
The picture on the business card showed a fat old man dancing. This old man was wearing a red cotton coat with white edges and a pointed hat. He had a lace cane in his hand. He danced while repeating, [Santa Claus is at your service, dear. You know who I am, Christmas gifts are here whenever you need them!]
Arden-Lin casually threw the business card on Yuri, closed his angry eyes, and then stood up.
"This person, during the Galactic Republic period, was arrested by Jedi Order for causing Cerean civil war. The people who arrested him at that time were Jedi Master Obi-Wan-Kenobi. But later, because Galactic Republic could not convict him, he was acquitted. For that matter, Obi-Wan was very disappointed with Galactic Republic." Jing Fang said, "But this time, he is so decisive?"
"He should know that the Empire is different from Galactic Republic. There is no chance that he will survive this time." Arden-Lin said lightly, "Let's go, our mission is completed. After killing this guy, Trade Federation's last foreign aid should be cut off."
"What about the arms that have been sent away?" Jing Fang asked, "I took a quick look just now, and there are not many arms piled up here. There are only ten Scorpion tank. I always thought they would bring out at least 100 tanks to chase us."
"The arms sent out have nothing to do with our mission." Arden-Lin said, "This mission should make Palpatine trust us more. No... but it is not enough. I will become his most capable subordinate..."
A cold and cruel smile appeared on her lips.
"What should we do next?" Jing Fang asked.
"Go back and report to Darth-Vader. The general attack on Trade Federation Wealth World is about to begin. That is a good opportunity to earn more credit." Arden Lin waved his hand, "Pack away the loot, especially the corpses of Santa Claus and those of Ghost Agent. These are the key points."
"Are you sure?" Tang Xiao looked at the information in front of him, his face turned ashen.
"I'm sure, sir. Yuri-Orlov's whereabouts were exposed. Imperial Inquisitor Arden-Lin chased him all the way to Tatooine, and was attacked from the front and breached the base's defense line. After that, contact with the base was lost... About half an hour later, Yuri-Orlov's life detector went out." Head of Military Intelligence Salatan-Morse reported to Tang Xiao.
"Aden-Lin..." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, his heart filled with rage, "When did this shit-stirring stick return to the Empire?"
"It should have happened more than a year ago... I don't know the exact information. Imperial Inquisitor's actions are highly confidential, and the information we have is very insufficient." Salatan-Morse said.
"No! Even Arden-Lin, she is just stronger!" Tang Xiao slapped his hand on the table, with anger in his tone, "The key to the matter is why she was able to track Yuri-Orlov!?"
Salatan-Morse nodded and replied, "It should be Trade Federation. Recently, Darth-Vader sent an elite team to launch a special sabotage operation against Kato-Neimoidia, causing heavy losses to the planet's transportation and supplies. Newt-Gang Lei cried and made noises more than once, asking us to provide more assistance. I think he also asked Yuri-Orlov to give him more. Moreover, during this period, Kato-Neimoidia was in a complete mess, and the possibility of intelligence being intercepted by those elite teams was not small."
