720. Between darkness and light
Jedi Knight, will not kill unless necessary, especially an unarmed person.
But now, the dozen corpses lying in front of Shen Qiaoen were basically civilian personnel, and they had no weapons in their hands.
Jon Shen killed them all without hesitation.
He did not betray Galactic Republic, nor did he betray Jedi Order, but he embraced the darkness and fell into Dark Side Force. From Jedi Order's point of view, this is betrayal.
The Lightsaber in his hand is trembling, and the pure Kyber Crystal is resisting the Dark Side Force. Shen Qiaoen clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and the more powerful Dark Side Force was injected into Lightsaber, and Kyber Crystal let out a faint cry...
A Clone Trooper came over and said, "General, we have cleaned up this experimental base. They should have destroyed all the experimental data and left nothing. Now we have placed a bomb in this base. After it is detonated, Extractor Project will have nothing left."
Shen Qiaoen nodded and then asked, "Is there any news about Sefrans-Tann?"
"No, General. The person in charge of the experimental work here should be Separatists, a general named Cheng Shitao, but we have not found any trace of him. We only know that he is from Dawn Star Planet." Clone Trooper said.
Shen Qiaoen nodded, "Okay, let's leave here and continue to hunt Sefrans-Tann."
"Yes!"
Shen Qiaoen walked out of the collapsed control center, looked back at the corpses on the ground, and said coldly, "At least, we have completed one of the tasks."
Several hoverbikes were approaching. After they stopped in front of Shen Qiaoen, his apprentice Nat Reese jumped off. Following her were Hunter Squad, Hunter, Clearance King, Crosshair and the technician.
"Master, we caught all the technicians who escaped and didn't ask anything, so we killed them all." Nat Reese said calmly.
After this period of pursuit and fighting, Nat Reese had also fallen to the Dark Side with the hatred of his brother being killed. Although she was only around 16 years old, her face was already filled with murderous intent.
"General, I actually think we can capture them. After all, they have surrendered," the technician said.
Shen Qiaoen looked up at him and said coldly, "Remember one sentence - Good soldier follow order."
"Yes!" Crosshair immediately gave a military salute.
"Let's go, before Separatists's reinforcements arrive." Shen-Qiaoen lifted up his hood and put it back on, covering the upper half of his face, then jumped directly onto another empty hoverbike and drove at high speed in the direction of the shuttle in the distance.
Taking the shuttle back to the Hunter Class Battlecruiser, the battleship increased the engine output, broke away from the planet's gravity, started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.
It took a full 2 hours after they left before several Hiigaran-class battlecruiser ships arrived here. However, what was waiting for them was the experimental base that had long been reduced to ruins.
"General, where is our next target?" On the bridge of Hunter Class Battlecruiser, clone Commander came to Shen Qiaoen and asked after saluting.
"The supplies we got on Krant Planet are enough for a while. Let's find a place to hide first, and then we go to Smuggler's Moon and Nal Hutta Planet to find some information." Shen Qiaoen said.
"So, what about the previous prisoners?" Clone Commander asked again.
"Bring him here." Shen Qiaoen said.
A few minutes later, Clone Trooper came over dragging a Neimoidian. It was Pruel-Barron who had previously argued with General Cheng Shitao on Aereen Planet.
When she saw Shen Qiaoen, she begged loudly, "Sir, please forgive me! I told you everything I know, and I didn't lie. Krant Planet is indeed Extractor Project's experimental base! Please don't kill me, Trade Federation will pay a high ransom, really! Really!"
Shen Qiaoen looked at her like she was looking at garbage, and asked coldly, "Where are Sefrans-Tann?"
"I... I don't know... she, she belongs to Western War Zone Dawn Star Planet, how do I know her whereabouts..." Purul-Barron said tremblingly.
"So, where is Cheng Shitao?" Shen Qiaoen asked again.
"I... he was in Aereen Planet before, and that coward ran earlier than me! He didn't tell me at all when he left! Wasn't his team defeated by you later? He must be dead! Yes! He must be dead!" When he mentioned Cheng Shitao, Purul-Barron looked ferocious.
She now wishes Cheng Shitao would die so that her embezzlement and embezzlement of experimental funds and equipment would not be exposed.
Shen Qiaoen said coldly, "This guy has some value. Find the nearest Republic outpost and hand her over to Galactic Republic Judgment. Leave the other prisoners behind as well."
"Why not kill her, Master?" Nat-Reese asked.
Shen Qiaoen looked at the endless universe outside the porthole and said, "I should also give an explanation to my master, Master Windu."
"We can't go back, can we?" Nat Reese asked again.
"When we kill Sefrans-Tann, our mission will be over." After Shen Qiaoen finished speaking, he turned and left the bridge.
Outer Rim of the galaxy, Planet Dagobah.
Das-Malthael stood in front of a cave, just looking at the cave silently without saying a word.
From the cave, there is an incomparable Dark Side Force, this power is almost like Blackhole, so dark that even light cannot shine through.
But Das-Malthael didn't make any move, he just stood here and watched.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. Tang Xiao, or, I should call you... Dass-Malthael..." A voice came from behind him.
A shadow floated behind him, and it gradually became clear. It was an old man wearing a brown robe of Jedi Knight, with gray beard and hair, and a majestic but kind face...
Jedi Master, Qui-Gon-gold.
"This planet is the Force the purest planet in the entire galaxy. You can see a lot of things through here." Das-Malthael said lightly, "So, have you seen the future of the galaxy?"
"I saw it, but I didn't see it." Qui-Gon-Jin shook his head, "I see your determination to reverse everything, but unfortunately, you took the wrong path. Even if you win this war, your existence will only make this galaxy darker."
