2345. The threat of darkness
Das-Malthael's expression became a little weird. He never expected that Luminara-Unduli would propose such a cooperation method.
In fact, New Jedi Order's plan is not difficult to guess. Providing materials to rebuild the temple is indeed the only requirement on the surface, but there are many hidden benefits in the process.
They saw from Twilight Covenant that they were not too obsessed with Light Side or Dark Side, and they really planned to carry out the education of the Force. So they made such a request.
In fact, although Das-Malthael doesn't know the location of Ilum, he has a general idea. It is almost at the location of Northwest Territory of the galaxy, and it is very remote, and there is not even a stable hyperspace channel. This is why Ilum is difficult to find without coordinates.
Because even if you find the coordinates, you still can't go there if you don't know the rules of those hyperspace channels that come and go.
But precisely because of this, although Das-Malthael can't go, he can also make Jedi Knight unable to go. Of course, he can't catch one or two small spaceships. Once there is a large cargo spacecraft or continuous material delivery, it will definitely not be able to escape the joint monitoring of Fourth Group and Geth.
Ilum has been abandoned for thousands of years, and the temple above is already dilapidated. It doesn't matter if it is used as a refuge for a few people, but it is absolutely impossible to rebuild the temple of Jedi Order on it. And this planet does not have any self-sustainability and must rely on long-term and stable material transportation.
At the same time, with the support of Kingdom of Dawn, the temple of Ilum was rebuilt and the teaching of young apprentices was actually intended to provide a more stable and safe educational environment for the young apprentices of Jedi who escaped from Coruscant. However, this environment cannot be guaranteed by the Rebel Alliance.
This shows that New Jedi Order is no longer satisfied with hiding in the corner of the Galactic Empire, but wants to really start rebuilding and is ready to step into the forefront.
And...
Das-Malthael looked at Luminara-Unduli. He always felt that the Jedi Knight in front of him seemed to be very sure that he would die at the hands of Das-Sidious in a face-to-face contest.
Then, once he dies, with Twilight Covenant's teaching method, Kingdom of Dawn's the Force policy might really be reversed, and then New Jedi Order might really be reborn in Kingdom of Dawn!
Although Luminara didn't show it, the vague expectation made Das-Malthael feel very unhappy.
But...
"I agree." Das-Malthael said lightly, "Then, do you have anything to say?"
Luminara-Unduli nodded and asked again, "Do you really not know Darth-Sidious's plan?"
"Be direct." Das-Malthael waved his hand.
"You should know better than me about Dark Side. You should understand one thing, Das-Sidious, he is a Sith Lord first, and then a Emperor of the Empire. This is different from you, you are a Kingdom of Dawn first The king of is then a Sith Lord. And you... don't seem to think about Darth-Sidious's behavior because of this." Luminara-Unduli said.
Das-Malthael's expression finally changed. He stood up and stared at Luminara's projection.
Luminara-Unduli smiled coldly and said, "I might as well make it clearer. You will die in the hands of Darth-Sidious sooner or later. Why not do something useful before you die. Killing Darth-Sidious has to be done by us."
Das-Malthael waved his hand and said to Glosse-Shelbia, "Give her what she wants."
"Yes." Glosse nodded.
"And we will also help you resist this attack from the Galactic Empire on Northern Territory. Just this time." Luminara-Unduli said.
Das-Malthael ignored him and cut off the communication directly. He looked at the empty front, feeling dazed for a moment. Then, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. He raised his hand and waved violently. Everything on the desk was blown away by the powerful air wave, and fell all over the floor.
He anxiously tore off his gorgeous coat, tore the golden ribbon to pieces, then waved, put on a black cloak, entered from the hidden elevator behind the office, and entered his own Dark Altar.
Careless! Really careless!!
If this continues, you will die! Really gonna die!!
Das-Malthael rushed into the altar like a gust of wind, sat on the Dark Side altar full of mysterious runes, closed his eyes and wanted to meditate. But the restlessness in his heart made it impossible for him to calm down!
Bang! Das-Malthael punched the ground hard, and Yang Tian let out an angry roar!
After a long time, he calmed down and came to the bookshelf, frantically searching among those taboo, dark, and secret manuscripts.
Finally, he found what he wanted.
Das-Malthael's eyes exuded an ominous golden light. His expression was distorted, even a little crazy. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Dass...Sidious..."
He finally knew where the problem lay.
Perhaps Kingdom of Dawn's continuous all-round military, political, technological, and economic victories since Clone Wars gave him some illusions.
What illusion?
That is, he put Das-Sidious in the same position as himself to compare.
In his heart, he also regards Darth-Sidious as Emperor of the Empire, ruling Galactic Empire in this face-to-face contest with his own Kingdom of Dawn.
And the constant victories made Das-Malthael think that he was really close to winning. Although Operation Zero has some unexpected aspects, overall it is still progressing smoothly. Once the plan is implemented, the collapse of the Galactic Empire is just around the corner.
At that time, it will be a complete victory...
?
Maybe Galactic Empire will really collapse or even perish, but... what's going on with Guandas-Sidious? Will he die because of the demise of the Empire? Won't!
How about the Galactic Empire, for Das-Sidious, it doesn't matter at all! In fact, the existence of the Empire is a constraint for him! Those wealthy nobles controlled most of the Empire's resources, forcing him to fight openly and covertly with them.
At this moment, Das-Malthael began to think about a very scary possibility - what if Galactic Empire's failure was a good thing for Das-Sidious?
