896, Priestess
Depa-Barris stood up and continued to stand behind Das-Malthael, but his eyes were already looking out the window.
I only saw that at this time, there were no spaceships landing on the planet from the direction of the fleet. They were all spaceships taking off from the planet, and there were also fewer and fewer.
Then, only one of the ships, Munificent-class communications frigate, was seen adjusting its flight attitude, entering the Haruun Kal low-altitude synchronous orbit, sailing synchronously with the rotation of the planet, and pointing its front main gun in the direction of the Crosshair ball.
Soon, about a dozen spaceships rushed out of the planet's atmosphere and opened fire directly on Generous-class. They were obviously smugglers who wanted to put up a stubborn resistance.
However, the firepower of these small spaceships was not even qualified to make Generous-class's shield vibrate. They were quickly shot down by Generous-class's close-range firepower in conjunction with Vulture droid fighter, and turned into balls of fire that fell into the atmosphere.
This episode did not affect the fleet's planned action plan. The Generous-class frigate still waited for about 2 minutes and 40 seconds according to the time before the front-end double-mounted heavy Turbolaser cannon suddenly opened fire!
A thick beam of light was instantly launched from the front of the turret and entered the planet's atmosphere. The powerful energy even caused the clouds above the atmosphere to be directly dispersed, forming a large ring-shaped cloud.
Immediately afterwards, the beam, which was almost invisible compared to the size of the planet, exploded directly on the ground into a huge explosion that was visible to the naked eye even in space, and spread!
Then the second shot, the third shot!
After that, the Generous-class frigate began to turn, the engine increased its output, broke away from the control of the planet's gravity, and returned to the fleet formation.
The holographic projection flickered, and a tall Neimoidian wearing strange eyepieces appeared in the projection and said very respectfully, "Lord Archangel of Death, the mission is completed. Pelek-Baw City has been erased from Haruun Kal."
An understatement, a calm process, but behind it are extremely cruel results.
In the eyes of others, the Generous-class frigate just fired three shots at the planet. It was easier than going to the street to buy a pound of cabbage. But what was destroyed was a once prosperous city and the 110,000 civilians in the city who refused to evacuate...
"Well done, General Mar Tuuk." Das-Malthael said calmly, "Our mission here is over."
"Yes. According to the plan, these Luukri-Hok-class will go to Kuna's Tooth Planet to resettle refugees, and I will lead this fleet to the nearby Malastare to support the operations of Sefrans-Admiral Tann." The Neimoidian general named Mal-Tuk nodded in response.
"You are the most outstanding military Commander among Neimoidian, but it is still not enough. I have high expectations for you, Mal-Tuk, don't let me down." Das-Malthael said.
"As you command, Lord Archangel of Death." Mal-Took bowed.
In fact, as a Neimoidian, he has a very strong self-esteem and would never be so respectful to a human being. However, his immediate superior, Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray, repeatedly urged him to respect this Archangel of Death, so he lowered his proud head.
Communication was cut off, and it could be seen through the window that the fleet began to split up. Five Luukri-Hok-class battleship and ten Generous-class frigate sailed in two directions respectively. After breaking away from Planetary Gravity Well, a burst of white light flashed, and these spacecraft entered hyperspace and disappeared.
Depa-Barris asked respectfully, "Lord, what shall we do next?"
110,000 living beings, and perhaps even more, were wiped out in front of her, but her heart was as solid as stone, and there was no expression behind her gorgeous mask.
"You refuse to swing your sword at Galactic Republic and Jedi Order, but I won't stop you. After all, my most dangerous enemies are not Galactic Republic and Jedi Order. But..." Das-Malthael glanced at her, "But, Galactic Empire."
Depa-Barris's body shook violently, but the gorgeous mask concealed the change in her expression.
Das-Malthael continued, "Adi-Gallia does not have fallen to the Dark Side, but I showed her the darkness from Coruscant, so she chose to stay and help me - of course, after I gave her a second life, she had to do the same. However, you are different..."
He turned around and faced Depa-Barris.
"My Resurrection Spell is not perfect. People who are resurrected by me will lose their potential for growth. The only exception is Darth-Lilim. I am still studying the root cause of this. Therefore, I put the choice in your hands and let you see the reality of this galaxy for yourself, and then make your choice." Darth-Malthael came to Depa Billaba.
Depa-Barris knelt down obediently.
Das-Malthael raised his hand, and a gem shrouded by Dark Side Force appeared in his hand. This is 'The Supreme One', the gem that was once embedded in Depa-Barris's forehead. After she abandoned the gem, Das-Malthael took the gem back from the jungle of Haruun Kal, and used Sith Alchemy to give the gem new meaning...
"True Seer, the name of this gem." He set the gem on the forehead of the Depa-Barris mask. "The reason why I put the mask on you is because you have completely cut off from your past. I hope you can have a new beginning. In addition, you forcibly tore off the two gems embedded in the bones. Basically, you have been disfigured, which is quite ugly."
"I will undergo surgery immediately to restore the scars." Depa-Barris lowered his head.
"Are you sure these two scars can be healed?" Das-Malthael looked at her mockingly, "The Supreme One and Explorer once represented everything about you. After you abandoned them, what was left was not only physical damage, but also the loss of the soul. Even the most advanced medical equipment cannot restore them."
Depa-Barris lowered his head and remained speechless.
"As for your name..." Darth-Malthael threw a card in front of her.
Depa-Barris picked up the card and found that there was a painting on the card of a solemn and holy woman wearing a white robe and a high crown.
"Depa-Barris, have died today. From now on, you will be given the name of 'Priestess'." Das-Malthael said.
"Thank you, Lord, for the name." Depa-Barris, oh no, Priestess prostrated on the ground.
"Let's go to Drai II." Das-Malthael turned his back to her and stopped talking.
Tarot card, Priestess.
Das-Malthael was thinking about it these days and gave the definition of Depa-Barris.
As Jedi Knight, she is full of wisdom, powerful, and has unlimited potential. She has keen insight and precise intuition. She is also indomitable and insists on justice and truth. But at the same time, she became confused and doubtful about her own path. She insisted on going her own way and was sharp-edged, and finally got herself into a corner.
Priestess is the most accurate definition of her.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a name, but in the ocean of the Force, names have power...
