617, Asajj-Ventress
"My Lord, I have found a person who has fallen into darkness. She is powerful, angry, and full of hatred for Jedi Order. I think she should be my assistant and become our sharp blade to eliminate Jedi Order." Count Dooku knelt on one knee and reported to Darth-Sidious in the holographic projection.
"A sharp blade... Jie Jie Jie Jie..." Sidious laughed twistedly, "This reminds me of a dead man, Darth-Maul. I also called him, 'Sharp Blade', in front of my master."
Count Dooku noticed that here he used the word "Teacher" instead of "Master", and the meaning contained therein was vastly different.
"Excuse me, my lord. What kind of person is your... teacher?" Count Dooku asked carefully.
"He is the most powerful, knowledgeable, and wisest Sith Lord I have ever seen, but at the same time... he is also the stupidest one." Das-Sidious said slowly, "He devoted all his energy to the Force In the study of the essence of E, he tried to list the essence of the Force one by one. Obviously this is a wrong path, but it also does not prevent him from becoming extremely powerful."
He glanced down at Count Dooku and then said, "He was obsessed with studying Immortality, but he forgot the most important thing about Sith path - revenge! So, I killed him. After all, you should know him."
"Please enlighten me, Lord." Count Dooku said respectfully.
"Hego-Damask II, that is Das-Pregas... Jiejiejiejie..." Das-Sidious smiled.
"I can't imagine that the most important sponsor of our great cause is also a great Sith Lord." Count Dooku praised.
"He has become the past, and the current galaxy is our stage!" Darth-Sidious opened his hands with a ferocious expression, "Okay, train your 'sharp blade' well. But You should know that she is just your assistant, not your apprentice. Rule of Two, she must not be trampled on! Otherwise, I will personally take action to ensure that there is only one of my apprentices... Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
"I will keep it in mind." Count Dooku lowered his head and answered.
"Let Ventress assassinate Anakin-Skywalker to prove her ability! Of course, I don't care about the outcome of this task." After Sidious finished speaking, he threw away his hand and closed the communication.
Count Dooku stood up and walked out of the room.
Outside the door, Asajj-Ventress was kneeling respectfully at the door, waiting for his arrival, "I want to follow you and learn from Dark path... the real Sith Lord."
Count Dooku glanced at her and said lightly, "Follow me."
He brought Asajj-Ventress to his meditation place, sat down on the cushions, looked at Ventress and asked, "Have you received training from Jedi Knight?"
"My master used to be Jedi Knight Ky Narec, but he was abandoned by Jedi Order, which eventually led to his death. One of my two Lightsabers was given to me by him, and the other one once belonged to him." Asajj-Ventress asked questions respectfully.
"You have accepted power of the Dark Side. The two Lightsaber are no longer suitable. You should use Lightsaber that can better utilize your abilities and use... synthetic crystal." Count Dooku said.
"I will follow your teachings. As long as I can destroy Jedi Order, I am willing to do anything." Asajj-Ventress is indeed very aware of current affairs. After learning that Count Dooku is the real Sith Lord, she immediately offered her loyalty, at least temporarily.
"I will teach you Dark path, and guide you to lead Jedi Order to destruction, and accordingly, your life, and even everything about you, will belong to me!" Count Dooku said.
Ventress quickly bowed his head and said, "As you wish, my lord."
Count Dooku raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Ventress with ridicule in his eyes. He waved, and two crank-handled Lightsaber floated over from the cabinet on the side. He handed Lightsaber to Ventress and said, "This is my former apprentice, Lightsaber of Komari Vosa. Now it belongs to you. This is my greeting gift."
Ventress took two Lightsaber with both hands, his attitude was extremely respectful.
"Your first mission is to kill an Jedi Knight named Anakin-Skywalker. As far as I know, he has gone to Naboo after the battle of Tull Planet. Raid the satellite Ohma-D'un near Naboo, massacre the Gungan above, and lure Skywalker out to kill! The mercenary Durge will also go to cooperate with your actions. Don't let me down." Count Dooku said.
"Yes." Ventress lowered her head deeply. Her heart was full of excitement, because she finally became an official Sith apprentice, which was exactly what she had dreamed of.
Since her master Ki-narek was killed, she has been living in anger and hatred every day. She attributed her master's death to Jedi Order. Naturally, she also took Jedi Order's mortal enemy-Sith Lord as her own direction.
She has always thought of herself as Sith Lord, but now, there is actually a powerful Sith Lord who is willing to let her become his apprentice. This makes her ecstatic.
However, Ventress did not notice the cold ridicule in Count Dooku's eyes. She did not notice it, even though Count Dooku did say that he would teach her Dark path also gave her Lightsaber, his former disciple, as a gift. Everything hinted at her identity as his disciple, but in fact, from beginning to end, Count Dooku never really said such words.
Christophsis, July 17.
The battle on the planet has become increasingly fierce. As the robot legions commanded by Volm-Lotham continue to advance towards capital Crystal City, the government of Christophsis is also in danger.
The only good news is that 500 Clone Trooper led by Alderaan Senator Bail-Organa are holding on to the dangerous area in the eastern suburbs, holding back the robot army.
These 500 warriors demonstrated unparalleled combat skills and fearless spirit, creating unimaginable military miracles. And because of their brave resistance, it also gave the Christophsis government some breathing time, and Modisai began to mobilize some militia forces to strengthen defense.
At the same time, the conflict between Christophsian and Kloiden on the planet also intensified. Armed parades and conflicts continued to break out between the two sides. In order to take into account the political situation, Volm-Lotham also had to divide its troops to support Kloiden civilians.
The advantage of Christophsis with a population of 35 billion has begun to become apparent. A week has passed since the battle began, and Confederacy of Independent Systems still has not been able to capture several of the largest cities, including Crystal City.
Galactic Republic is not idle either. Byluir (Byluir), the governor of the 13th Army regiment 'Iron Spear' to which the Christophsis defense zone belongs, has begun to assemble a fleet to prepare to forcibly break through the blocked Corellian Trade Route.
In view of this situation, Volm-Lotham had to ask for help from the Corporate Alliance Chairman Parcel Argent, requesting more reinforcements, especially heavy equipment.
