2274. The erosion of Dark Side
"Neimoidians? Huh." Shen Qiaoen smiled contemptuously, "What's the use of those wastes of spices inhaled into the brain?"
"There is already some news... This operation against Felucia may be related to Corellia Engineering Company." Tiber-Zayne said.
Shen Qiaoen frowned, "Corellia Engineering Company? How could an industrial company of theirs be so concerned about banned spices? Then it's... Crimson Dawn?"
Tiber-Zayne nodded and said, "It seems that...Dryden-Vos is worried about being killed by us. He must have gone to find his supporters behind the scenes. Regarding this matter... we can let Das-Maul do something..."
"No need." Shen Qiaoen interrupted him directly, "Just let Darth-Maul continue to make trouble. This guy is very smart and is not so easy to kill. The more trouble he makes, the safer we will be. But... this is not enough..."
"Lord, what other plans do you have?" Tiber-Zayne asked carefully.
"Dath-Maul's actions have been noticed by the Galactic Empire. Duchy of Dawn is also paying attention to Mandalore. Their investigation of us cannot be allowed to continue." Shen Qiaoen said, "We are still too weak now and are not an opponent of any of these two fleets. Their attention must be diverted."
Tiber-Zayne frowned and said, "To divert their attention, only each other can do it. But now Galactic Empire and Duchy of Dawn, although they seem to be at war on the surface, in fact they do not plan to start a war in the short term. But in this way, they will have enough time to focus on us..."
"It's good that you can see this." Shen Qiaoen nodded, "Yes, Galactic Empire and Duchy of Dawn don't want to fight now. So, we need to give them a reason to fight."
"Lord..."
"This has nothing to do with you. Do your own thing well and keep an eye on Darth-Maul for me."
"As commanded."
Meanwhile, Dawn Star Planet, Duchy Palace.
In the messy bedroom, Sanya-Tagge was quickly packing up his clothes and came to Tang Xiao who was lying naked on the bed. He knelt down on one knee beside the bed and kissed Tang Xiao's fingers.
As the head of the Tagge family family, she is also one of the top aristocratic families in the galaxy Core Worlds. At this moment, she is like the most submissive concubine, dedicating her love and loyalty.
"My master, although I really want to serve you, I must go back..." Sanya-Tagge hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe, this is the last time I will serve you..."
"Don't you have confidence?" Tang Xiao asked calmly.
Sanya-Tagge lowered her head. Although she was over fifty, with the most cutting-edge technology and maintenance, her skin was still creamy, firm and slim, with the grace and elegance that the top noble patriarch had cultivated for a long time, as well as mature charm. The crystal beads of sweat after the clouds and rain just now were still sliding gently on her white skin.
She raised her hand and put it on her left chest, feeling the healthy beating of her heart, and said affectionately, "I am not sure... my master. It was you who gave me a second life, but this time, I have to put my life on the gambling table for the sake of my family... If I am lucky enough to succeed, I swear that I will return and serve you forever, and we will never be separated again."
"Then go." Tang Xiao nodded.
Sanya-Tagge bit his lower lip, nodded heavily, got up and walked towards the hidden elevator behind Tang Xiao's bedroom.
"That's right." Tang Xiao called her from behind and added, "When you have your hands free, help me keep an eye on Mandalore and Zann Consortium."
"Yes." Sanya-Tagge turned around, saluted, and then left in a hurry.
Tang Xiao then stood up and went to the bathroom to rinse his body. Under the wash of warm water, Tang Xiao looked at his body through the mirror. He found that an inconspicuous black line appeared again on his cheek, and his skin color became paler.
The erosion of Dark Side is gradually returning to his body.
Even after he and Dark Archon merged into one, the power of the void once dispelled the erosion of Dark Side, but as time went by, the erosion returned again.
"There's no time..." Tang Xiao muttered to himself.
That's right, he must end the war between Duchy of Dawn and Galactic Empire before he goes completely crazy!
Countless Sith Lords throughout the ages have proven with facts that Sith Lords often lose control of their emotions when they are corroded by Dark Sides. In such a state, it is impossible to manage the country well.
Marka Ragnos, Vitiate, Sith Lord, who can be called a generation of wise kings, also brought the Empire into the ditch due to various wrong decisions at the end of their reign.
The same is true for Das-Sidious. Looking at his various perverse behaviors in the Galactic Empire, you can understand that the seeds of the Empire's destruction were planted by him himself. Does he not know that these are wrong? No, he knows. But under the influence of Dark Side, he was already in an emotional state of 'Of course I know the consequences of doing this, but no matter what, I will kill you anyway'.
What's even worse is that such a state change is not sudden, but subtle, and you naturally feel that it should be done.
What Tang Xiao has to do now is to end all this before he completely loses control, and gives Duchy of Dawn enough advantages so that Duchy of Dawn can continue on the road to dominance even after Dark Side erodes into his brain and starts to lose control.
Therefore, time needs to be fast, but not too fast. After being fully prepared, you must launch one action at a time to win the battle!
He believes that he still has about three or four years, and Duchy of Dawn also needs more preparations. Therefore, the launch time of Operation Zero was scheduled for 8BBY three years later.
As for before that, just let Das-Sidious slowly pretend to be a snake and delay time. With Trade Federation dragging it in front, Galactic Empire's preparations are definitely much worse than Duchy of Dawn's, which is also a small advantage.
Since there are so many small advantages, you need to make good use of them, and then gradually snowball until you win!
And just now, Sanya-Tagge's visit is also one of the advantages that Tang Xiao has now.
Sanya-Tagge, indeed they came here to seek treatment from Tang Xiao at first. At that time, she suffered from a strange disease. Her heart was strangely outside of her body, but strangely it was still beating, and all tests showed that her heart was healthy.
But her chest has clearly become a hole!
