248. Revenge

However, the dreadnoughts Prosecutor-class, Governor-class and Commander-class are basically castrated versions. Due to the restrictions of Rusan Reformation Treaty, these warships cannot be equipped with the too powerful Turbolaser cannon, and there are also restrictions on the level of the hyperspace engine, so strictly speaking they are not qualified warships.

But after all their size, they are still the most powerful spacecraft in the galaxy.

Taking out these warships, which even Judicial Fleet himself only has single-digit numbers, shows that Judicial Fleet attaches great importance to this summit. Because if someone really wants to drop a bomb at this summit, then I'm afraid the stocks in the entire galaxy will have to fall to the limit.

In the outer space of Eriadu, white light flashed past, and a fleet of 10 Generous-class Communications Escort emerged from hyperspace and appeared in the universe. These frigates were all spray-painted with the logo of the InterGalactic Banking Clan.

After a simple handover between the fleet and the surrounding Judicial Fleet, it came to a stop outside the Judicial Fleet defense zone. Then several shuttles took off from inside the battleship and flew to Eriadu under the protection of a group of Vulture droid fighter.

Soon, the escort fleet of Trade Federation also arrived. Then there are Corporate Alliance, Technological Alliance...

Each of the representatives of these business giants brought a powerful fleet to escort them, and at the same time they were showing off their strength.

A moment later, a fleet consisting of 10 Revenge-class light destroyer and 20 Cobalt-class heavy frigate also left hyperspace and arrived here.

On the bridge of one of the Revenge-class destroyer ships, Fourth Group's commercial representatives Glosse-Shelbia and her commercial team were also ready.

Shelbia is wearing a black dress with a flower made of white soft feathers on her shoulders. Matching her outstanding appearance and hot figure, it looks like a blooming black lily.

But at this moment, Shelbia's expression was extremely serious, because before leaving, Tang Xiao's instructions were still echoing in his ears.

"Remember this meeting, safety first. Stay away from those robots, and don't go with the Trade Federation people. But remember that our Fourth Group's appeal is to follow Trade Federation, they are the weather vane." Tang Xiao repeatedly emphasized safety.

This makes Shelbia feel that something is going to happen at this summit... With this mentality, even the 4,000-meter-long Governor-class dreadnought ship that is approaching does not feel so safe.

As more and more delegations came over, more and more spacecraft docked outside Eriadu, which made the starry sky seem a bit crowded. At least more than 3,000 large and small spacecraft gathered here, which also put huge management pressure on Republic Judicial Fleet, who was responsible for defense work.

But it's clear that not everyone is excited about the summit.

"Phineas-Valorum this bastard!! He actually refused us Nebula Front to participate in the summit!!" In Coruscant Industrial District, an uninhabited fully automated factory area, a holographic projection projected a ferocious-looking woman, and she roared loudly.

"I can't do anything about it. I have asked my people to put Nebula Front's application for participation directly in front of Valorum, but he rejected it unpleasantly." The voice was distorted and greasy. This was Das-Sidious.

"Hard to hear?"

"Well, his original words were - it is just a terrorist organization and is not qualified to participate in the summit." Das-Sidious said sarcastically.

"He will pay the price! I swear! Valorum will pay the price!!" the woman roared.

"Now, you can only look for another opportunity." Sidious said.

"This is impossible!! Eriadu Commerce Summit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Only by seizing this opportunity can we have the opportunity to clean up a lot of our business! We can even reach cooperation with Trade Federation and those Mega-corporations! They will like our organization that specializes in dealing with dirty things! However, Phineas-Valorum ruined everything!!"

"That's all I can help you." After Sidious finished speaking, he pretended to close the communication, but his movements were a little slow, as if he was waiting for something.

Sure enough, the woman from Nebula Front shouted loudly, "Wait a minute!! There is one more thing you can do for us!"

"There is no free help, everything has a price." Sidious said slowly.

"I want to enter Eriadu's venue!" The woman's expression became more ferocious.

"This is not an easy thing, and I have to tell you that Eriadu now has the highest level of security."

"But you can do it, right?"

Under the cover of the hood, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Das-Sidious's mouth.

Eriadu Capital, Eriadu City.

The entire city has been decorated with a festive atmosphere, with flowers, balloons, ribbons, and various holographic projections making every street colorful.

At the same time, the security here is also very tight.

Tens of thousands of the Republic Army wearing gray uniforms guard the city. It can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Every soldier is fully armed, chest puffed out, and full of momentum.

Several Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers even entered the atmosphere and hovered in the sky of Eriadu Citys. However, it seems that in order to reduce the sense of solemnity, there are also ribbons and welcome slogans hanging below these Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser.

In the city's loading and unloading area, a cargo spacecraft is unloading.

The officer in charge of signing for the receipt looked at the metal boxes on the conveyor belt, yawned, and said to the person delivering the goods in front of him, "What ship is this today?"

"The fifth ship, and there are three ships behind it. They are all robots, a total of 100,000." The deliveryman answered.

The officer came to one of the boxes, opened it and took a look. There were several folded B-1 combat robots neatly stacked inside. He was tired of seeing such things today. So he hastily signed his name on the receipt, waved his hand impatiently, "Pull it over and scan it."

As a result, several soldiers on the other side shouted, "The scanner is broken! It's being repaired!!"

"Damn idiot! Why is it broken at this time? There is so much freight today, how do you want me to collect it?" the officer yelled.

The deliveryman whispered, "Sir, look at me, I'm still in a hurry to get back. What I'm delivering are all robots. You've already passed four ships this morning. These robots are all of the same standard. What's the problem? In comparison, those groceries are probably more dangerous!"

As he spoke, he quietly stuffed an envelope into the officer's pocket.

The officer pretended to arrange his clothes, felt the thickness of the envelope, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's pull these robots over!"
