487, Chiss
"There is only one way for your future - death! And, in less than a year. You can't even be considered a great leader. You just make people feel threatened." Tang Xiao said.
"That's nonsense!" Tann said loudly.
"You probably knew that Galactic Republic was on the verge of splitting and that the war was about to start, so you decided to leave your hometown and come here. You believed that with your own level, you could easily defeat almost all Commander and get what you wanted... So, you chose Count Dooku..." Tang Xiao said.
Seeing Sefrans-Tann's gloomy expression, he understood that he had hit her weak spot again.
So he directly threw out the sure kill. "But do you know... no matter which side you choose, your ending will not change?"
"Oh? Let me hear how you plan to let me die." Sefrans-Tann said coldly.
"Your death is not unexpected. If you could know that Count Dooku was actually the disciple of Sheev-Palpatine, you would understand." Tang Xiao said.
"Hmph... don't think that I know nothing about Galactic Republic! Palpatine is just a politician, how could he be the master of the former Jedi Master Count Dooku!" Sefrans-Tann laughed in anger.
"The answer is actually very simple... but if you knew it, then you would undoubtedly die faster. Do you want to hear it?" Tang Xiao asked in return.
Tann snorted coldly, but did not speak, but he did not refuse.
"Because the other name of Sheev-Palpatine is Das-Sidious, a Sith Lord. In a sense, he is also my senior brother..." Tang Xiao answered with a smile.
This time, Sefrans-Tann didn't react much. She just closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then opened her eyes and said, "So you want to say that this upcoming war has been a scam from the beginning?"
"That's right, a scam that destroyed Galactic Republic and Jedi Order." Tang Xiao said.
Tann didn't say anything more. She just asked again, "Why should I believe you?"
"Believe me? Well, it doesn't matter, because I can no longer let you go. Stay and command my fleet, and I will also teach you how to use the Force and teach you to become stronger." Tang Xiao said.
"As your apprentice?"
"I already have a disciple, so I won't teach you Sith path. I will only teach you how to use Dark Side Force, which is enough to make you stronger." Tang Xiao shook his head.
"Is this your Sith rule?"
"Actually, I don't mind having a few more apprentices, but obviously for you, wielding Lightsaber is a waste. Your stage should be to command thousands of troops and conquer cities and territories."
"Since you also said that this war is a conspiracy, what can you do with a mere satellite?" Sefrans-Tann asked. She still thought that Tang Xiao's place was too small to accommodate a genius like herself.
"As you can see, I have battleships, technology, talents, industry, and an army..." Tang Xiao pointed at everything around him and said, "But if we judge according to common sense, I want to build a huge the Empire, what should we do? Galactic Republic controls almost every place in the galaxy. Once I expand, I will be sanctioned or even counterattacked by Galactic Republic. What should I do?"
"You want to use this war to expand? Haha... reasonable and legal expansion, you have a pretty good idea."
"Yes, reasonable and legal expansion. All my war actions will be considered by Count Dooku as reasonable war actions. I will use this war to occupy an area sufficient to realize my next plan. Under normal circumstances, I may face a backlash from the occupied areas, but not this time, because soon, when the entire Outer Rim Territories realizes that they have been deceived, my occupation behavior will not be worth mentioning."
Tang Xiao laughed, "Then when Das-Sidious closes the net, he will realize that part of the net he cast will never be recovered!"
"The ambition is great, but do you have the ability to realize it?" Sefrans-Tann poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Of course I can't do it alone. But I just showed you that there are countless people behind me!" Tang Xiao opened his arms.
Sefrans-Tann fell silent, she did not speak.
Tang Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I changed my mind. In fact, you can go. Leave me, go to Count Dooku or Palpatine, and become a pawn of that conspiracy. I will not stop you. The choice... is in your hands."
His smile was sinister, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. Did he really want to let Sefrans-Tann go, or did he have other plans.
After a long time, she said, "If you want me to join, you need to hand over your entire fleet to me. And, you must prove that you have this strength!"
"You will get what you want, power, stage, army, and... war. But at the same time, you must also prove to me that you have the ambition to cut off the past and move towards the future!" Tang Xiao dropped these words, stood up and left.
He did not return to his dormitory, but went directly to a bar on Glory mothership, where Cun Te was drinking with George-Kadas. Kunto and Kenneth had been knocked down holding several empty wine bottles.
Tang Xiao lightly kicked Kunto out of the way under the table, then sat down directly, snatched the wine bottle from Cun Te's hand, took a long gulp, and then burped, "Fuck, I'm really exhausted, Sefrans bitch. How did you meet her?"
"This is the last bottle of Stede Green Wine in this bar, and you did it to me like this?" Cun Te complained, then immediately pointed at Tang Xiao's nose and said, "Don't say anything to me about paying back 100 bottles or something like that. What I hate most is when others show off to me..."
"1,000 bottles?"
"Deal." Cun Te reached out without restraint, grabbed Tang Xiao's hand and shook it, and then said, "We found a more stable hyperspace channel, all thanks to Thanks to George-Kadas, he is really a genius navigator. After entering Unknown Regions, we ran around trying to find any traces of civilization... ha, we actually found... a group of pirates!"
Cun Te waved, and the bartender immediately brought over a few more bottles of red wine. He opened a bottle and blew directly into his mouth, and then said, "Later we found out that they were a group of Vagari. Their profession is to be pirates and rob in Unknown Regions. I thought, since they are robbing, they must have someone to target, right? So I followed them in circles, while constantly sending out distress signals."
"In the end, someone really came. It was a small fleet. Commander is such a guy with blue skin and red eyes, Chiss. That Commander is very powerful, although his military strength is not high. We had the upper hand, but we quickly annihilated those pirates, and then we boarded their spaceship and saw this Commander, who called himself... Mitth'raw'nuruodo..."
