The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2366
2345. The threat of darkness
Darth Malthael’s expression became a little strange. He had never expected that Luminara Anduli would propose such a cooperation method.
In fact, the plan of the New Jedi Order is not difficult to guess. Providing materials to rebuild the temple is indeed the only requirement on the surface, but there are many hidden benefits in the process.
They saw from the Twilight Covenant that they did not have much attachment to the light side or the dark side, and they indeed planned to carry out the education of the Force. So they made such a request.
In fact, although Darth Malthael didn’t know the location of the planet Yilen, he did have a rough idea. It is almost at the northwest boundary of the Milky Way, and it is very remote. There is not even a stable hyperspace channel. This is why the planet Yi Leng is difficult to find without coordinates.
Because even if you find the coordinates, you still won’t be able to go there if you don’t know the rules of those hyperspace channels that come and go.
But precisely because of this, although Darth Malthael can’t go, he can also make it impossible for the Jedi Knights to go. Of course, he can’t catch one or two small spaceships. Once there is a large cargo spacecraft or continuous material delivery, it will definitely not be able to escape the joint monitoring of the Fourth Group and the Geth.
The planet Yilen has been abandoned for thousands of years, and the temple on it has long been dilapidated. It doesn’t matter if it is used as a refuge for a few people, but it is absolutely impossible to rebuild the temple of the Jedi Order on it. And this planet does not have any self-sustaining ability and must rely on long-term and stable material transportation.
At the same time, with the support of the Kingdom of Dawn, the temple on the planet Ilen was rebuilt and the teaching of apprentices was started. In fact, it was intended to provide a more stable and safe educational environment for the Jedi apprentices who escaped from the planet Coruscant. This environment , which the rebel army cannot guarantee.
This shows that the new Jedi Order is no longer content with hiding in the corner of the Galactic Empire, but wants to truly start rebuilding and is ready to step into the forefront.
and……
Darth Malthael looked at Luminara Anduri. He always felt that the Jedi Knight in front of him seemed to be very sure that he would die to Darth Sidious in a face-to-face battle. The men are gone.
Then, once he dies, according to the teaching methods of the Twilight Covenant, the Force policy of the Kingdom of Dawn may really be reversed, and then the new Jedi Order may really be reborn in the Kingdom of Dawn!
Although Luminara did not show it, the vague expectation made Darth Malthael feel very unhappy.
but……
“I agree.” Darth Malthael said calmly, “Then, do you have anything to say?”
Luminara Anduli nodded and asked again: “Are you really unaware of Darth Sidious’s plan?”
“Be direct.” Darth Malthael waved his hand.
“You should know better than me about the dark side. You should understand one thing, Darth Sidious, he is a Sith Lord first, and then the Emperor of the Empire. This is different from you, you First the king of the Kingdom of Dawn, and then a Sith Lord…and you… don’t seem to think about Darth Sidious’s behavior because of this,” Luminara Anduri said.
Darth Malthael’s expression finally changed. He stood up and stared at Luminara’s projection.
Luminara Anduri smiled coldly and said: “I might as well make it clearer. You will die in the hands of Darth Sidious sooner or later. Why not do something useful before you die? Kill Darth Sidious.” This matter about Sidious still needs to be completed by us.”
Darth Malthael waved his hand and said to Gross Shelbia: “Give her what she wants.”
“Yes.” Gross nodded.
“And we will also help you resist this attack from the Galactic Empire in the north. Just this time.” Luminara-Anduli said.
Darth Malthael ignored him and cut off the communication. He looked at the empty front, feeling dazed for a moment. Then, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. He raised his hand and waved violently, and everything on the desk was blown away by the powerful air wave. It crashed and fell all over the floor.
He anxiously tore off his gorgeous coat, tore the golden ribbon to pieces, then waved, put on a black cloak, entered from the hidden elevator behind the office, and went to his own dark altar.
Careless! Really careless! !
If this continues, you will die! Really gonna die! !
Darth Malthael rushed into the altar like a gust of wind, sat on the dark side altar full of mysterious runes, closed his eyes and wanted to meditate. But the restlessness in his heart made it impossible for him to calm down!
Bang! Darth Malthael punched the ground hard, and Yang Tian let out an angry roar!
After a long time, he calmed down and came to the bookshelf, frantically searching among those taboo, dark, and secret manuscripts.
Finally, he found what he wanted.
Darth Malthael’s eyes exuded an ominous golden light. His expression was distorted, even a little crazy. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, “Darth… Sidious…”
He finally knew where the problem lay.
Perhaps it was the continuous military, political, technological, and economic victories of the Kingdom of Dawn since the Clone Wars that gave him some illusions.
What illusions?
That is, he put Darth Sidious on an equal footing with himself.
In his heart, he also regarded Darth Sidious as the emperor of the empire, ruling the Galactic Empire and engaging in a face-to-face contest with his Kingdom of Dawn.
And the continuous victories made Darth Malthael think that he was really about to win. Although there were some unexpected aspects of Operation Zero, it was generally progressing smoothly. Once the plan was implemented, the collapse of the Galactic Empire was just around the corner.
By then, it would be a comprehensive victory…
?
Maybe the Galactic Empire would really collapse, or even perish, but… what did this have to do with Darth Sidious? Would he die because of the demise of the empire? No!
What about the Galactic Empire? For Darth Sidious, it didn’t matter at all! In fact, the existence of the empire was a constraint on him! Those wealthy nobles controlled the vast majority of the empire’s resources, forcing him to fight openly and secretly with them.
At this moment, Darth Malthael began to think about a very terrifying possibility – what if the failure of the Galactic Empire was actually a good thing for Darth Sidious? (End of this chapter)
