461.Plague!

Thorn Hill finally listened to Tang Xiao's words. He and Tang Xiao went to the rescue cabin and launched themselves out.

Soon, Munificent-class communications frigate entered hyperspace, white light flashed and disappeared instantly.

At the same time, a mysterious red spacecraft flew over quickly from another direction. The moment the spacecraft passed by the rescue capsule, it fired a tractor beam, grabbed the rescue capsule into the cargo hold, and then also started the hyperspace engine and flew in an unknown direction.

Thorn Hill came out of the cargo bay and looked at the back of the man in black robes controlling the spacecraft in the cockpit, with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Darth-Malthael... you..." San-Ciel trembled all over. He felt that the entire spacecraft was filled with black smoke. Each smoke had a human face and roared at him.

"You should call me... Lord." Das-Malthael turned around, and it was still the same face, although the facial features were very clear, but it made people feel like they were in the clouds.

"Yes... yes... Lord." Sang-Hir quickly replied, "Excuse me, Lord, you asked me to come here to see..."

"I'm here to kill you!!" Darth-Malthael suddenly lifted his hood, revealing the face of a rotten skeleton underneath! The skull opened its mouth and laughed, with rotten muscle fibers still attached to the corners of its mouth! In that bloody mouth, another identical skull emerged, smiling ferociously, getting bigger and bigger... and the cycle continued.

"Wow!!!" Thorn-Hill screamed and struggled violently, and then he realized that he was still on the red spaceship. Outside the window were still countless light bands of hyperspace navigation. The cab was empty, and Tang Xiao was standing beside him.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Darth... Lord, Darth-Malthael, he... he..." San-Ciel looked at the empty cab with some confusion.

"Isn't he right there?" Tang Xiao said, pointing to the cockpit.

Thorn Hill looked over again. This time, he saw the shadow of Darth-Malthael and the terrifying skeleton under the hood. "Wow!!" He screamed and fell to the ground.

Tang Xiao helped him up and felt Muun's violently shaking body. The fear in his heart was completely felt by Tang Xiao. He was very satisfied to see that Thorn Hill could not extricate himself from this fear and illusion.

After all, Thorn Hill is different from Semirians and the Givin. He controls the entire InterGalactic Banking Clan, the largest financial entity in the galaxy. Conventional means cannot scare him at all, and it is difficult to make him give up on him.

So he continued to expand the fear in Thorn Hill's heart to achieve his goal. This must be based on a basis, that is, Thornhill was originally afraid of him, and was originally close to his position. And this is the legacy left by his master Das-Pregas.

Das-Pregas spent more than 10 years cultivating Thorn Hill and single-handedly helped him become the co-chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, so his loyalty to Pregas is unquestionable.

Moreover, Tang Xiao also understood that Pregas's original plan was not to regard InterGalactic Banking Clan as the target of eradication, but to use the opportunity of the civil war to eliminate Jedi Order and other forces loyal to Galactic Republic.

It's just that when Darth-Sidious arrived, his ambitions became even bigger and crazier. He modified the plan and added fanatical Human supremacy racism to the plan. He not only wanted to eradicate dissidents, but also wanted to establish a Human supremacy the Empire, and even... Theocratic Empire!

It is precisely because of this foundation that Tang Xiao has spent so much effort on Thorn Hill. In fact, it is because he wants to collect the biggest resource left by him, Das-Pregas - this is the real biggest legacy of Das-Pregas.

Instead of this one...

With a flash of white light, Red Comet appeared near a huge space station. Tang Xiao smiled and said to San-Ciel: "Here we are, right here. The greatest legacy left by our great mentor, Hego-Damask II - Ragnarok-class Titan warship, Plague! (Plague)"

A huge long diamond-shaped hull appeared outside the porthole. This was an extremely huge spaceship. Even if it was viewed from hundreds of kilometers away, this huge spaceship was still very clearly visible.

The overall battleship is very slender. Most of the hull is a long rhombus. Only the hull is divided into four branches in the second half, and at the tail is the Group 4 huge engine. The bridge is right at the front of the battleship, above the long rhombus, and is not very obvious.

The name of this first battleship, Tang Xiao, was still decided to be named after Das-Pregas. Because Das-Pregas is the pronunciation of Galactic Standard. If it is spelled in English, it is Plagueis, and Plague is Plagues. There is only one word difference.

Therefore, Tang Xiao named the first Titan warship after the plague.

"Is this battleship left by Teacher Heige?" Thorn Hill trembled again, but this time, he was trembling with excitement.

"Yes. Teacher Heige discovered the data of this super battleship while exploring an ancient Relics. According to his judgment, this Relics should belong to an unknown civilization that emerged tens of thousands of years ago and was later destroyed by the Infinite Empire. And this Titan warship was built by that civilization with all its efforts and spent decades. Ragnarok means 'doomsday' in their language [Note 1]." Tang Xiao said.

"Teacher Heige, he gave everything he had for his plan." Thorn Hill's eyes darkened.

"That's right. He originally hoped to see this invincible Titan warship tear apart the weak essence of Galactic Republic and establish a new order, but... he will never see this day again. His traitor, Darth-Sidious, killed him and took everything from him." Tang Xiao said.

"No...Teacher Heige still has me, and InterGalactic Banking Clan, and we Muun!" San-Ciel said through gritted teeth, "Of course, there is also Damask Holdings Group, and... this Titan warship! I don't care who Darth-Sidious is, it's not that easy for him to destroy us!"

He turned around suddenly and looked at Tang Xiao, and said slowly, "Do you think... Darth-Malthael is credible?"

[Note 1: It's actually Norwegian...]

[Easter egg chapter attached picture 1: Ragnarok-class Titan warship, pay attention to the building above the front section, that is the bridge. In other words, the captain is actually sitting on top of this huge gun barrel...]
