Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 759: Taming (Part 3)

"Long time no see, Viceroy Gunray." Darth Malthael, oh no, it was Tang Xiao who showed a warm smile and said in his original voice.

"You...you!!" Nute Gunray kicked his feet on the ground as if he had seen a ghost, crawling back to get further away from Tang Xiao.

However, he didn't take a few steps back before he was dragged back by The Force and fell in front of Tang Xiao.

"Don't...don't kill me..." Nute Gunray begged.

Just now, he knew the two most terrifying secrets in the Galaxy, but he didn't feel excited at all, just endless fear!

Because these two secrets will only lead to him being killed!!

Tang Xiao has proven that even if he is heavily protected by a Fleet and Droids, he is still capable of killing him easily.

And the other man, Darth Sidious, or Sheev Palpatine, can undoubtedly do it.

That's right, Nute Gunray is not a fool. He had already guessed it before. Coupled with the story Tang Xiao told just now, he naturally understood the dual identity of 'him' in the story.

The Sith Lord Darth Sidious is the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine!!

He will die, he will really die! Nute Gunray roared in his heart, and cold sweat had soaked his gorgeous clothes. He just felt as if he was enveloped in Darkness and had nowhere to escape!

Because there is Darkness everywhere in the entire Galaxy!

Count Dooku, Sheev Palpatine, Tang Xiao... It can be said that every place in the entire Galaxy is under their control. From this look, it seems that Hutt Space, where Criminals are gathered, is the brightest!

Tang Xiao stood up and said calmly: "Nute Gunray, what do you think will fall first when a War breaks out?"

Nute Gunray shook his head desperately.

"Finance." Tang Xiao said, "As a person who plays with capital, you have trouble designing a Warship. Why should you be on an equal footing with those Old Industrial Giants like Kuat in a War? In a War, your capital will bring you stronger and more Battleships, but after the War, your capital will become the best food for Hungry Industrial Giants."

"They... how dare they! Kuat was once just a member of our Trade Federation!" Nute Gunray said this, but his tone was full of fear.

"Look at the constant flow of Venator-class Star Destroyers flying out of the Star Ring on Kuat, and then look at your own Battleship Production Line. How dare you? It should be said that the current Trade Federation, how dares it compare with Kuat?" Tang Xiao said, "There will be no problem in killing you, because after all the Droids are shut down, who else can protect your wealth? Do you want to expect Darth Sidious to think about you? Is it the fault of entering the password with your fingers?"

He knelt down, looked at Nute Gunray who had collapsed on the ground, and helped him straighten his crooked crown, "Will he label the Trade Federation as War Criminals, divide your assets, and use them to please Kuat? Or use his own pocket to reward you, the so-called Hero?"

"I...I..." Nute Gunray was stunned.

"I told you last time, Darth Sidious doesn't mind winning or losing this War. Because... he is always the winner..." Tang Xiao said, "But what about you? Nute Gunray, can you lose?"

Nute Gunray swallowed hard, and he suddenly felt powerless.

Indeed, in the past, he had always viewed this War with an investment mentality. He always believed that the purpose of this War was only to overthrow the Republic and reshuffle the cards.

But now he understands that he is the one being shuffled!

Different angles, different views. At this time, are you thinking about winning this War? Confronting a Galactic Republic or even a Galactic Empire with its War Machine in full swing?

How dare he?

Now it is no longer a game of playing house, but a model with real swords and real guns!

Tang Xiao's voice continued, "Do you understand now? War is not something you can afford. But... it's too late."

"I...what should I do?" Nute Gunray asked softly.

Tang Xiao stood up, opened his arms, and looked a little fanatical, "The Beacon has been lit! The War Drums have been beaten! The Cold Furnace has become hot! The Rusty Sword has become sharp! When the Gears of War begin to turn, no one can stop it! Only when one side is burned out by the Flames of War will this catastrophe gradually subside! Do you think your Shutdown Code can stop the War?"

Nute Gunray slowly stood up from the ground, but he still looked depressed.

"You chose the Path of War, Nute Gunray. Winning the War is your only way to survive! This is the final judgment that everyone who chooses War will face!! Whether it is you, me, or Darth Sidious." Tang Xiao said.

He looked at Nute Gunray, who was still silent and said: "My Strongest Warship and Strongest General are about to raid Cato Neimoidia and destroy the Encircling Fleet here. There is no doubt that, yes, Darth Sidious will not like this result... and without the help of your Fleet, the Warship I sent will be destroyed. So, choose."

As Tang Xiao spoke, his body gradually turned into smoke, and when his words fell, he had completely disappeared. Only the bewildered Nute Gunray, his frightened Adjutant, and the Droids controlling the Battleship were left on the Bridge.

There was another deathly silence. Nute Gunray looked at his Adjutant, suddenly pointed at him and said: "Capture him and throw him outside."

"Roger Roger!' Several B-1 Battle Droids came over immediately and grabbed the Adjutant.

The Adjutant suddenly collapsed and screamed loudly, No! Mr. Gunray, I don't know anything! I didn't hear anything! Have mercy!!!"

Not long after, the Red Starfighter left the Hangar of the Battleship, and the stiff body of his Adjutant floated past the Battleship's porthole.

Nute Gunray then came to the console, hesitated, and entered a series of instructions.

Almost instantly, all the Droids on the entire Battleship shut down and collapsed to the ground one by one.

Nute Gunray walked out of the Bridge with an expressionless face and came to the Hangar. He piloted a Shuttle and flew towards another Battleship. At the same time, he also issued an order, "Destroy all the Droids in the Battleship I was on!"

"Roger! Roger!"

...

Back in time, Cato Neimoidia.

After being hit by more than a Dozen Turbolasers, the Plague Titan Battleship finally activated its Deflector Shield. The Firepower from the 7th Republic Squadron continued to pour on the Deflector Shield, causing continuous ripples.

At the same time, the Starfighters of the Republic Fleet also took off one after another, flying over like locusts.

On the Bridge of the Plague, Sev'rance Tann looked at the Holographic Star Map and said: "Increase Engine Power and attack the Republic Fleet! After the Hypermatter Railgun is fully charged, do not fire, follow my instructions!"

"Yes!"

Darth Lilim looked at Sev'rance Tann and asked: "What do you mean by this instruction? Do you want to fight desperately? You should know that now we must cooperate with the Trade Federation Fleet to win, right?"

At this point, her frown suddenly relaxed and she revealed a charming smile, "Could it be...are you betting too?"
