425. It's hard to find a close friend.

Ayrou Guardian There are about 100 warships in the capital Annaj Planet, 20 of which are Defender-class frigate and CR-12 frigates about 100 meters long, and most of the others are small spaceships bought from the black market.

In Ayrou's plan, they believed that the one hundred or so spaceships in Vaxian Planet were the entire main force of Dawn Star Planet.

After all, a planet with a population of only about 5 million, if nothing else, just fill up these 100 warships, and count the 300 Wraith fighter, there will be almost 20,000 people. Don't we need people for other logistics and other things?

But when the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser appeared, all Ayrou's illusions were shattered.

Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, 1009 meters long, with a flat body and a streamlined shape, looks very eye-catching. The main gun of this battleship is two double-mounted heavy Particle Beam Cannon guns, which are installed on the upper and lower sides of the bow. The secondary guns are eight quadruple-mounted Turbolaser guns, arranged on both sides of the warship. In addition, there are 20 close-defense laser cannons, which provide almost no dead spots for firepower.

Although there are not many turrets, the two main guns in the front have a very powerful and sufficient energy supply. Although the power is slightly inferior to the Turbolaser gun with the same power, it does not require the supply of explosive gas. Considering that if the imaginary enemy is Galactic Republic, then the supply of explosive gas is likely to be limited, so the designer still retained this design.

If we exclude the more than 4,000-meter treaty battleships of Republic Judicial Fleet and the kilometer-class battleships that are still on the drawings, Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, as the first kilometer-class battleship built regardless of the restrictions of Rusan Treaty, is now the most powerful battleship in the galaxy!

When he saw Hiigaran-class battlecruiser's main gun blasting a Defender-class frigate from head to tail in one shot, Newt Gunray, who was extremely excited, raised his head and poured a full glass of wine into his mouth.

"Hahahaha! Lord Tang Xiao, with this powerful Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, and in the future with the Divine Will-class cruiser we cooperate with Rendili StarDrive, our fleet will be invincible in the entire galaxy! Hahahaha!" Newt Gunray held his hands in excitement.

"We still have a long way to go, Mr. Governor, especially Kuat Drive Yards, never underestimate the power of such an old industrial giant." Tang Xiao waved, a robot He came over and filled up the wine for Gang Lei, "Actually, I didn't want to send Hiigaran-class here like this. It would be terrible if the news leaked. But Sidious is big... cough cough cough cough!!"

Tang Xiao realized he had lost his words halfway through speaking, pretended to be choked by wine, coughed violently, and then began to talk to him, "Well, when are we going to negotiate with Ayrou's Queen?"

"There is no rush in negotiating. Anyway, Semirians also has a fleet here, but..." Newt Gunray approached Tang Xiao with a strange expression. He asked softly in a voice that only two people could hear, "Did you just say, Sidious?"

"No! No! What, why are you obedient? I'm talking about Ayrou's congressman Murasis!" Tang Xiao denied it.

"Don't worry, Lord Tang Xiao. I am also supported by Lord Sidious. It is also because of him that I was able to become the governor of Trade Federation after Eriadu Commerce Summit's attack. He is very kind to me!" Newt-oka Thor said secretly.

"Nonsense! I have never known Das-Sidious!" Tang Xiao denied again, but did not go away, as if he was speaking out of integrity.

"I understand, I understand. That lord is the Lord of Dark Side, and naturally his name cannot be mentioned casually." Newt Gunray looked like I understand even if you don't say anything, "I now understand why Fourth Group would be so generous and come up with such an advanced blueprint for Hiigaran-class battlecruiser. It turns out that this was all arranged by that adult. It seems that we are all Joiner in that great plan!"

Tang Xiao looked at Newt Gunray in confusion, but still shook his head, "I have never seen Darth Sidious, but I have seen his apprentice."

"Darth-Maul! I know him too! We fought side by side in Naboo!" Newt Gunray kept getting closer.

Because he is so lonely!

Das-Sidious showed up in person to drag him to Chariot, but he never saw anyone. He didn't know what Sidious was planning, so his heart was just filled with fear. You know, as far as he knows, the two times Sidious took action, one was a terrorist attack by Eriadu Commerce Summit, and the other was Battle of Naboo.

And he also knew that Battle of Naboo was just an exposed part of a series of conspiracies, and that alone was enough to shock the entire galaxy. So what is the real purpose of Sidious? Newt Gunray trembles all over just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't tell anyone. Apart from him, the only ones who knew about Sidious were Rune Hacker and Daltair Dove. These two people were more cowardly than him, not to mention that Daltair Dove had died in Naboo.

He had previously told Count Dooku about Sidious. Although Count Dooku promised to tell Jedi Order about it, he didn't know whether he said it or not, and it was hard for him to pursue the matter.

In the midst of such depression, another person suddenly appeared who seemed to be supported by Sidious. Could Newt Gunlay be unhappy?

However, Tang Xiao shook his head, "It's not Darth-Maul. After Darth-Maul died, Lord Sidious found another apprentice, who was stronger, younger, and..."

He stared into Newt Gunray's eyes and said seriously, "More handsome."

Newt Gunray took a breath, "Another disciple appears? How many Sith Lord are there in the galaxy?"

"Maybe Sith Lord is more than just Darth-Sidious, but it is impossible for us to know this dark information. I don't know the name of Sidious's apprentice, but I just know that this apprentice is active in many things now." Tang Xiao whispered.

"Then what are they planning?" Newt Gunray humbly asked for advice as if he had found a close friend.

"Subverting Galactic Republic may be just the first step. He must have other plans after that, but even I don't know." Tang Xiao looked around and said cautiously.

"Then we should..."

"Let's settle things here first. Modell Sector is a key part of 'that adult's plan." Tang Xiao said.

Newt Gunray nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the massacre of one against a hundred outside Annaj Planet finally ended, and nothing could be seen in the outer orbit of the planet except the wreckage of countless battleships.

"Notify the battlecruiser 'Gonrei' to leave here as soon as possible after collecting combat data and return to Golden Nyss Shipyard." Tang Xiao issued the order..

Soon, the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser named 'Gonrei' started its hyperspace engine and disappeared in an instant.
