806. Conquer

Let Plague withdraw from Kato-Neimoidia. When making this decision, Tang Xiao has actually made a choice.

Between Trade Federation and Plague, he chose the former, and might even get involved with Darth-Lilim, a loyal disciple, and Commander, who can now be said to be the most powerful in the entire galaxy - Sefrans-Tann.

But these things are not as important as Trade Federation.

As long as you can get the loyalty of Trade Federation, it will be more precious than 100 Plague. General talents are indeed rare, but that's all.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything.

22BBY, October 32 [Note 1], Fourth Civilization Plague Titan warship was forced to leave Kato-Neimoidia alone due to pressure from Trade Federation.

And Galactic Republic fleet, who had already received the news, was even more prepared. Even though the warships everywhere were stretched thin, and the number of warships gathered everywhere was not large, Galactic Republic still found more than 100 ships. The battleships once again surrounded Kato-Neimoidia, vowing to completely destroy the threatening Titan warship when Plague was alone.

Not only that, but there is also the Separatists general who threatened Republic Core Worlds twice - Sefrans-Tann!

However, when Plague Titan warship flew out from the low-orbit spaceport of Kato-Neimoidia, the appearance surprised all the officers and soldiers of Republic fleet, including Master Windu.

Because the outer shell of this huge Titan warship is densely covered with Vulture droid fighter, and the number has exceeded 5,000! Trade Federation played a word game. After all, Plague is only here for supplies, but no one stipulates that thousands of fighter jets cannot be hung outside the battleship during supplies, right?

When Plague Titan warship rushed out, Republic fleet on the periphery of the planet opened fire immediately! And those Vulture droid fighters hanging densely outside Plague immediately took off like locusts, rushing towards Republic fleet desperately!

At this moment, Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray is tremblingly facing the terrifying shadow in front of him, a figure wearing a black cloak projected from the holographic projection...

Das-Malthael.

Malthael said nothing and just stared at Newt Gunray. Just such a movement made Newt Gunray almost pee with fear. He sat down on the ground with a plop and cried out in a mournful voice, "Dead...Lord Archangel of Death... This time, this time it's really not me. We want to betray! It's really... it's really us... I, I have already thought of a way to hang all the fighters on the planet on Plague. These fighters can cover Plague's entry into hyperspace. I don't want to either... I, I..."

"Hehehehe..." Unexpectedly, Das-Malthael suddenly sneered, "I sacrificed Plague Titan warship to help you Trade Federation maintain your current position, hehehehe... I don't think our relationship has reached this level yet, what do you think?"

"What do you want me to do? Whatever you want me to do... anything is fine!" Newt Gunray quickly got up and showed his courtesy. However, as soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force grabbed his neck.

Das-Malthael's voice became ferocious, "I helped you because you are still useful! I threw away Plague because you are more useful now. You'd better not disappoint me, otherwise when I take a multiple-choice question next time, I can't guarantee which side I will put you on."

"No... no way! Lord Archangel of Death, I am absolutely loyal to you, absolutely, absolutely!" Newt Gunray was out of breath and he said while struggling.

"Then, give me that..." Darth-Malthael let go of Newt Gunray's neck and said one word.

Newt Gunray's face changed drastically, "This, this is impossible! That, that is the place that Count Dooku values the most, there is no way he will relax his control!!"

"Soon you will find that doing this will only benefit you." Das-Malthael said, "I have told you that if you want to survive, you can only win the war, and if you want to win the war, you have only one way to go - the road I paved for you."

Newt Gunray collapsed and fell to the ground again, nodding with horror on his face.

Sefrans-Tann commanded Plague Titan warship to break through the heavy siege of Republic fleet. Under the cover of those Vulture droid fighter, they finally broke out of the planet's gravitational circle, started the hyperspace engine and disappeared instantly.

But her face was still extremely solemn, and she knew that this was just the beginning.

Plague Titan warship's hyperspace engine level is not high, which is also the biggest shortcoming of the battleship. The distance of this hyperspace jump is not long, and Galactic Republic's outposts all over Core Worlds will soon discover Plague's whereabouts again, and then their fleet will follow.

The communication was connected, and Tang Xiao's figure appeared on the screen. "It seems that you have taken the most difficult step." He said lightly.

"Trade Federation still seems to be leaning towards us. Your plan has succeeded. Lord Governor." Sefrans-Tann said this, but his tone was a little cold and unwilling.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "I have told you before that when your value is greater than others, the choices left to me will be simpler, and obviously, you lost this time. So, try to make yourself more useful."

Sefrans-Tann gritted his teeth, "Is this what you call politics?"

"Yes, this is politics." Tang Xiao said, "Politics is very simple, interests come first, and everything can be put on the scale. But at the same time, politics is also very complicated, because it is difficult for you to grasp the changing general trend."

Sefrans-Tann took a deep breath, suddenly took a step forward, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I want to go back alive, Lord Governor... please save my life..."

[Note 1: The chronological method of Galactic Republic in "Star Wars", the seconds, minutes, hours and days are the same as those of the earth, and then there are 5 days in a week, 7 weeks in a month, 10 months in a year, plus a separate 3 weeks and 3 days of holidays, so there are 368 days in a year and 35 days in a month. This date is determined based on the revolution and rotation data of the capital Coruscant. In addition, the size and orbit of Coruscant are close to those of the earth, so the calendar is also close.

Maybe I used the wrong time in some places in the previous content, but I will pay attention to it later. But fortunately, this issue is not an important issue, and it does not affect reading. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you bring the time standard of the earth.

As for Monday to Friday, there are also unique names in the world of "Star Wars". For example, Monday is called Prime Day, which is even more troublesome. From now on, it will be called Monday to Friday.]
