2606. The so-called natural enemy

Tang Xiao made a random arrangement and asked Tang Xing to accompany Ander-Viking to visit various major attractions in Dawn Star Planet.

He wasn't worried about any problems that might arise. First of all, it is true that Tang Xing and Tang Yun are his children, but children are not equal to heirs - Kingdom of Dawn has no heirs.

Supreme Leader is Tang Xiao, nothing more, no then, no future.

In addition, Tang Xiao is very unhappy with the character shown by Tang Xing. He has always believed that as his heir, even if he is not an heir, he should play an important role in his the Empire in the future. However, the timid and cowardly Tang Xing is not suitable to make achievements among such a powerful enemy the Empire. On the contrary, because of his weakness, he may become a weapon used by the enemy to attack him.

Therefore, Tang Xiao had already decided to send Tang Xing to Twilight Covenant for practice when he was about the same age.

And Tang Yun, because with the help of Adele-Ulan, he served as regent for a time and performed well. Even though her character showed signs of being arrogant and domineering early on, Tang Xiao never considered this a problem. With his power, his daughter is arrogant and domineering? Is this a drawback? No, this is an advantage.

Moreover, Force talent from Tang Yun is also very good. Tang Xiao is confident that she will be able to cultivate her so that she can at least become Sector Governor who can guard one side in the future. If the performance is better, Tang Yun will become Queen second only to him among the Empire.

As for Tang Xing, if there is no special performance, just keep him prosperous and wealthy throughout his life.

This time Ander-Viking asked to play with Tang Xing, but Tang Xiao thought it didn't matter. Because of this genius cultivation institution, Tang Xing once received training here. But it was obvious that he did not meet the standard of genius, so Tang Xiao took him back directly after checking Tang Xing's results.

Therefore, Ander-Viking and Tang Xing have been classmates for a period of time, and it is normal for them to have friendships.

Tang Xiao is not worried that Tang Xing will affect Ander-Viking, or vice versa. If this was really the case, he would still be impressed by Tang Xing.

As for Tang Yun, after serving as regent and performing well, he has been personally led by Adele-Ulan to provide elite education according to the standards of Queen.

After arranging the journey for Ander-Viking and Tang Xing, Tang Xiao himself came to the terminal and looked up the match between Ander-Viking and 'Thrawn' in the simulated combat.

"Your Majesty... these games..." The director of the training center has also seen these games, but even he has no clue about these chaotic and almost unorganized games and cannot understand them at all. It's as if this is just a game between a beginner and a cheater.

However, Tang Xiao watched very carefully, closing his eyes from time to time and recreating in his own mind the thinking patterns of both sides at that time.

That's right, what he saw was not the battlefield situation, what he saw was Ander-Viking's way of thinking.

Immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth - he saw what he wanted to see.

"Your Majesty, could it be that... Ander-Viking's grades are very good?" the director asked tentatively. After all, he is also the manager here. If Ander-Viking is appreciated by His Majesty, he himself will of course be rewarded.

"What is Thrawn's strategy?" Tang Xiao suddenly asked in a confused manner.

"Uh... well..." the director shook his head, "I don't know..."

"That's right if you don't know." Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "Thrawn's tactics just don't have tactics. Doing whatever you want and being unconstrained is the way he behaves. But do you think he just does whatever he wants on the battlefield, or just tries to find out what he wants? No, not at all. He sees more and farther than ordinary people. So, let me ask you, how does being free and unconstrained on the battlefield manifest itself?"

Cold sweat began to form on the director's forehead, "No... I don't know."

"It's okay if you don't know. I don't know either." Tang Xiao repeated, "But what I am sure of is that, whether it is you or me, if we confront Thrawn on the battlefield, then we will only be led by his nose. Then he was seized the opportunity and killed with one blow. Because what he saw was not just a battlefield. What he saw... was the soul, the collective, the country, and the galaxy. And he commanded not only the fleet in his hands, but everything that could be used."

"I can't imagine such a scene... Your Majesty." The director wiped his sweat.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "But Ander-Viking, his way of coping is different from ours. In fact, it can be seen that in the first simulation, he still fought according to the rules, and the result was naturally a miserable loss. But then, he began to adjust his fighting strategy, and he began to try to predict the action mode of 'Thrawn', but he also failed."

He scrolled down from the initial simulation results of Ander-Viking line by line, and then said, "Then, Ander-Viking seemed a little angry, and he started frantically trying to crack this simulation program. After losing dozens more games, he finally found the rules of the program, and then won ten games in a row. But..."

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "But these ten victories calmed him down. He began to realize that although he had won, he only defeated this program, far from the real 'Thrawn'. Next, he began to modify the simulation program to increase the difficulty crazily for himself... Moreover, I think the difficulty options he added were not added casually, but based on his understanding of 'Thrawn'."

"At this point, the one fighting him is no longer 'Thrawn', but himself. To be precise, it is his own understanding of the two words 'do whatever you want and be unconstrained'. So, although he keeps losing, he is the one who loses. Himself. The reason why he keeps losing is because he keeps getting stronger." Tang Xiao's smile became ferocious, "Thrawn... would never have thought that I would prepare a natural enemy for him here!"

Sefrans-Tann is not the choice of Tang Xiao. He used Thrawn to spur her, just because at that time Tann was the one closest to Thrawn in his opinion. However, when Thrawn actually appeared on the battlefield, Tang Xiao understood that Sefrans-Tann was far from Thrawn's opponent!

Therefore, at first he refused Tann to play.

In Tang Xiao's heart, the one who can really compete with Thrawn has never been Tann!

Imperial Capital, Imperial Center, Imperial National Security Department underground prison.

In a cold cell, loud footsteps suddenly sounded, and only a the Empire officer was seen leading more than a dozen black-armored Imperial guards to the cell door, inserting Password Cylinder, and then entering the password.

The cell door slid open slightly, and then the laser barrier dissipated.

A blue-skinned Chiss is sitting in the cell. Even though he is a prisoner, he still looks calm and majestic.

"Mis-ro-Nurudo, you have been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. Set off immediately." The officer said.

Thrawn stood up and walked towards the door without saying a word. Just at the corner of his mouth, a faint smile rose.
