758. Apologize

"This... this is..." Looking at the holographic projection, Newt Gunray was stunned.

Then Count Dooku's deep and magnetic voice sounded, "I don't know what happened between you and Archangel of Death, and I don't want to know. But, after seeing this, you should understand what Archangel of Death relies on."

"He is taking advantage of public opinion...?" Newt Gunray said.

"That's right. I suspect that when he promoted Fang-class battleship and Plague Titan warship with great fanfare, he was already thinking about this idea. In fact, he even foresaw the destruction of Malevolence... because of the two super powers we promoted before. The destruction of one of the giant ships, Malevolence, has brought public opinion to the brink of explosion, but it was Plague's brilliant performance in Trigalis Planet that temporarily suppressed the process," said Count Dooku.

"So... after Malevolence was destroyed, Plague became Confederacy of Independent Systems's only spiritual support?" Newt Gunray thought of this.

"Ming Star Wars ships, star generals, in a sense, that is indeed the case." Count Dooku stroked his snow-white beard, "If it weren't for General Grievous in Festival Offensive If Republic fleet was also severely damaged among, I would have to award Marshal's scepter to Sefrans-Admiral Tann immediately."

"... In other words, if I really destroy Plague, then I will become Confederacy of Independent Systems's sinner?" Newt Gunray's face turned blue.

"And you are also Galactic Republic's sinner." Count Dooku added.

Newt Gunray was completely discouraged. He lowered his head and said, "But... but, Lord Sidious, he will kill me! He will definitely do it!"

Count Dooku looked down at this timid poor guy, with a hint of ridicule and disdain in the corners of his eyes. However, considering the terrifying wealth in his hands, Count Dooku still smiled slightly and said, "Lord Sidious will not kill you, but I am sure that he will be very angry at your disobedience."

"You must save me... he will kill me, I don't want to die..." Newt Gunray begged.

Count Dooku shook his head and asked, "Why did you come to me instead of Archangel of Death?"

"I couldn't find him at all. He just told me that he wanted to win this war, and that he wanted to kill me. But I don't even know where he is..." Newt Gunray said eagerly.

After all, he was still the dignified governor of Trade Federation. Even if Newt Gunray told some lies in such fear, his face would not change and his heart would not beat. He told half-truths and half- lies according to the way Darth-Malthael taught him before.

"He wants to win this war...?" Count Dooku thought about the meaning of this sentence, "In other words, he thinks Sidious doesn't want to win?"

"He did hint so." Newt Gunray lowered his head and said.

"Hmph." Count Dooku snorted coldly, and then said, "It's better for you not to get involved in the matter between Darth-Sidious and Archangel of Death. It's not surprising that Sith Lord of the previous generation have anything dark and powerful in their hands. This is not a field you can touch."

But Tang Xiao is obviously very young, why does Count Dooku seem to be like an older generation of Warcraft? This thought flashed through Newt Gunray's mind, but he just continued according to the previously determined statement, "I have no idea what happened...Plague suddenly appeared in Kato-Neimoidia. I was completely unprepared!"

Count Dooku smiled coldly, raised his finger, and a black communicator flew into the hands of Newt Gunray, "Please apologize to Darth Lord Sidious."

Newt Gunray threw away the communicator as if he were holding a piece of red-hot iron, "No, no, no! He will kill me, he will definitely kill me! He personally told me to destroy Plague, but I didn't do it..."

Count Dooku walked over personally, bent down to pick up the communicator, and put it in Newt Gunray's hand, "You will not be killed by Lord Sidious, at least for now, I can guarantee you this. And if you still don't plead guilty to him, then every minute that passes, his anger will become more intense. Maybe at some point, he will really kill you."

Newt Gunray picked up the communicator tremblingly, hesitated for a long time, looked at Count Dooku again, and then after Count Dooku nodded again, the communication was connected.

A moment later, the figure of Darth-Sidious wearing a black cloak appeared in the holographic projection, with half of his ferocious and twisted face exposed under the hood, and said in a greasy voice, "Ah, isn't this my dear Governor Trade Federation? Are you here to tell me the good news that Plague has been destroyed?"

Newt Gunray's body trembled violently, but at this moment, a Dark Side Force suddenly flashed in his heart. At this moment, the figure of Darth Malthael seemed to flash before his eyes, which immediately made him calm down a lot.

At the same time, Das-Sidious seemed to notice something, and his golden eyes under the hood suddenly looked to the other side, "Count Dooku, you are there."

Count Dooku took a step forward and appeared in the projection range, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "My Lord, I am here."

Newt Gunray said tremblingly, "Plague, was not destroyed. On the contrary... it destroyed 7th Fleet..."

Das-Sidious's voice turned cold, "Then, maybe I spoke too quietly before and you didn't hear me?"

"I... no, I heard... but... but Plague..." Newt Gunray said incoherently, trying to make it easier for himself.

"I don't want someone who disobeys my order to be alive!!" Darth-Sidious gritted his teeth and raised his hand to grab Newt-Gangray's neck. The extremely powerful Dark Side Force grabbed him directly out of thin air and lifted him up.

Newt Gunray kicked his legs in despair and looked at Count Dooku, wanting to ask him for help. However, Count Dooku just knelt there on one knee and remained motionless, with no intention of saving him.

I don't know how long it took, but when Newt Gunray started to roll his eyes, Darth-Sidious raised his hand and Newt Gunray was immediately thrown out, hit the table with a clang, and rolled to the ground without moving for a long time.

At this time, Count Dooku slowly said, "My lord, the name of Plague is widely spread among Confederacy of Independent Systems. It is not appropriate to act rashly under such circumstances, and it may even expose your big plan."

"So, you have a plan?" Das-Sidious said coldly and slowly.

"At least, this is not something Newt Gunray, a loser, can do." Count Dooku said.
