2731. The breath of darkness
"Your Majesty, as you wish, Galactic Empire's First System Army is being transferred to Scipio." Helmut-Baron Zemo respectfully reported to King of Dawn Tang Xiao, "Your plan has been accomplished."
"Well done." Tang Xiao's voice echoed in the dark throne room, "Now, Palpatine, it should be very lively over there. Hehehehehe..."
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, luring First System Army away from Coruscant does not seem to be of much help to our strategy. Could you please clarify our doubts..." Zemo mustered up the courage to ask. This is the question Chief of Staff Qi Jian asked him to ask.
"After some time, you will naturally know... hehehehe... now, you can get out." Tang Xiao let out a terrible laugh.
"As you command..." Helmut-Zemo saluted respectfully, then walked backwards. When he reached the door, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Xiao worriedly.
"Any questions?" Tang Xiao's cold and gloomy voice came.
"No, not at all. May His Majesty's peace be with you." Zemo responded quickly and walked out.
After walking out of the throne room, the cold breath in the air dissipated instantly, and the sunlight made his body warm. He took a deep breath and looked up at the Dawn Star Planet blue sky, but his heart could not calm down. Tang Xiao's state became increasingly weird, and power of the Dark Side seemed to be swallowing up his sanity.
I don't know what happened recently. Tang Xiao began to hide himself in the darkness and did not come into contact with other people. Only he could enter here and talk directly to Tang Xiao. But even so, he could not see clearly what Tang Xiao looked like now. He could only vaguely see the eyes shining scarlet in the darkness, like the beast lurking in Abyss, which was chilling.
Boom~~~! The door slammed shut behind him, Zemo's shoulders shrugged, and he almost froze in place.
In the dark throne room, Tang Xiao pressed the button on the side, and the holographic projection flickered, and a figure of Bosa appeared. It was one of the top executives of the Rebel Alliance, Borsk-Feliya, who was in charge of the Intelligence Department door.
"While I'm in a good mood now, tell me what you want." Tang Xiao said coldly.
Feliya looked at Tang Xiao who was completely shrouded in darkness, with only his pale chin visible. He sneered and said: [Why do you Separatists ers like to make yourselves so mysterious and annoying?]
The corners of Tang Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be moving closer to the projector. He did not speak, but the dangerous aura even made Feliya feel a chill on the other side of the galaxy.
Feliya quickly cleared his throat to ease his fear and said: [The success of Scipio's operation this time shows that we still have a basis for cooperation. In order for us to continue to play a role in the operation against the Galactic Empire, I hope to introduce stealth technology.]
"Hehehehe..." Tang Xiao laughed strangely, "Of course, Mr. Feliya. Scipio's actions also let me see your pervasive intelligence capabilities. This It's all your fault... hehehehe. Compared to your monstrous-Mothma who are good for nothing but inflammatory speeches, you are the real core of the Rebel Alliance..."
[This is our internal matter and does not require your concern.] Borsk-Feliya said, [The interior of the Galactic Empire is being gradually penetrated by us, and the wave of freedom is being accepted by the people of the entire galaxy. I think that more cooperation will also help you understand more about our thoughts.]
Tang Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, the rhythm was slow and cold, "Thoughts? What you call freedom is just an illusion that lingers after the collapse of order. Compared with this, I am more concerned about what else can you bring to me?"
[Scipio.]Borsk-Feliya said directly: [You should have seen this operation. We can already grasp a lot of information about Scipio, as well as the movements of the surrounding fleets. I heard that you want to take action there? I think I can give you some support.]
"Exchanging information for technology? Haha." Tang Xiao chuckled, "Feliya, you understand the art of trading better than I thought. I appreciate this idea."
He stood up slowly, his pale face emerging in the dim light, "Scipio's defense layout, First System Army's rotation defense time, and the energy core data hidden under the earth's crust - I want them all! The most important thing is, the location of the financial data storage center! That is Scipio The most valuable thing. Then, you can get our stealth technology, and I can even send a team of experts to assist you... Imagine X-wing fighter equipped with a stealth device. Such power is enough for you to become the hero of the Rebel Alliance!"
Tang Xiao's words are like a devil, with fatal temptation.
Feliya was silent for a moment and said briefly: [Deal.]
"Ah, hehehe... I really like you more and more, Mr. Feliya. Compared to the 'leader', I prefer to see you standing here." Tang Xiao said.
[It is the efforts of the leader that made Rebel Alliance what it is now. We will always follow her footsteps.] Feliya said.
"She gave you the present, but can she give you the future? Think about it, think about it... Mr. Feliya. Hehehehe..."
Imperial Capital, Imperial Center.
Although the news of the Scipio robbery was strictly blocked by the Empire officials, ordinary people only knew that a bad robbery occurred there and a batch of raw materials was lost. For those civilians whose sources of information are strictly controlled by the authorities, such news is not even as impactful as Imperial fleet being defeated again on a certain front.
However, only the senior officials of the Empire who were able to get the truth of the incident knew what this incident meant. At the same time, those who knew about this incident were also the dignitaries of Core Worlds.
Scipio is located at the core of Core Worlds and is also the financial center of the Empire. Whether it is in terms of astronomical environment, economics and politics, it is a huge blow to the internal confidence of the Galactic Empire.
You just have to say that Scipio has been constantly harassed by Geth's small fleet using warp sailing. After all, although warp sailing is very slow compared to hyperspace jumps, its inability to intercept and detect really makes the Empire's border defense fleet helpless.
But it is another matter to directly go deep into the vicinity of Scipio and hijack a transport fleet transporting rare alloy reserves! This can no longer be called harassment, this is simply a direct attack on the core of the Empire's power!
Imperial Navy can no longer guarantee the safety of everyone, and this idea begins to spread uncontrollably among the senior officials and Core Worlds nobles.
This situation has deeply stimulated some people and made them want to take risks.
Because if the status quo cannot be changed, then when the Empire fails, all of them will be dragged in and buried!
At this extremely sensitive moment, Imperial Marshal Demetrius-Zaarin reported to His Majesty the Emperor that his scientific research team has made breakthroughs in multiple fields, including the TIE-Defender advanced air superiority fighter, Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer's weapon system, and another super weapon-Star Killer!
