Anakin Skywalker slowly opened his eyes and saw a stalwart figure standing in front of him.
"Master … Master Windu …" Anakin whispered. He suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart. After the fierce battle, after the anger, he realized that he had almost fallen into the dark side. Or rather, he already had one foot in the dark side.
But then, his pupils suddenly narrowed because the entire right side of Master Windu's body had been burnt. It was black with a hint of red. A burning smell kept coming out of it. Anakin wanted to struggle, but he found that his body was tightly bound by leather straps. He could only shout, "Master Windu! What happened to you!?? "
Windu turned around. The right side of his face was also burnt. He looked extremely hideous, but his expression was very calm. He said in a flat tone, "It's okay. We are on our way back to Coruscant." His throat seemed to be damaged as well. His voice was extremely hoarse.
"What … happened?" Anakin asked. Then, his expression changed as he remembered something. "No! Where's the midpoint? And … and the robots that can nullify the Force?! "
"Those two robots have been destroyed. One of them self-destructed. I couldn't stop it. The wreckage of the other one has been brought back, "Master Windu said.
Anakin finally understood what was going on with the terrible injuries on his body. "Master Windu, you were trying to stop the robots from self-destructing, so …"
"These robots are very important. They are immune to the Force! Their existence can be said to be a disaster for us Jedi Knights. No matter what price we have to pay, we must understand the principles behind their existence! " Master Windu said. He looked at Anakin and continued, "Tang Yu had already left when I arrived. If not for that reason, I might not have come back alive … I have a feeling that he did it on purpose."
"I'm sorry, Master Windu … I … I failed …" Anakin said.
"I'm very disappointed, Anakin. It's not because of your failure, but because of your wavering. You were dominated by your own anger. At that time, you had already fallen to the dark side. Instead of fighting against the darkness, you chose to obey it. Perhaps the dark side will give you great power for a while, but in fact, it will not help you defeat the enemy. "Master Windu opened his hand, and Anakin saw his lightsaber in his hand.
"You have been temporarily expelled from the Jedi Order, Anakin. Next, I will let you go to the library of the Jedi Temple to recuperate. You are not allowed to go out until you recognize your true nature, "Master Wendu said.
Anakin lay on the bed and closed his eyes. He had expected this outcome. However, he was still a little unwilling. "Is it wrong for me to miss my mother?"
"Not to an ordinary person. For a Jedi Knight, yes. " Master Wendu said, "When you first came to the Terminus Temple, I taught you that the Jedi serve the origin power. In other words, they serve the truth of the universe. The workings of the universe are merciless. It will unjustly deprive everyone of their life and anything they hold dear, as long as it deems it necessary. Therefore, we also need to abandon unnecessary lust. This is not to say that this kind of lust is wrong, but because it hinders our growth and lures us into the wrong path. "
Anakin was silent, and Master Wendu did not speak either. The two of them were silent for a long time before Anakin slowly asked, "Then how did you defeat those two robots?"
"I am a Jedi Knight. I will not lose to any enemy!" Master Wendu said proudly.
"But … they can render the origin power ineffective …"
"Even if they cut off the surrounding origin power, the origin power is still abundant in my body. Even if I can't predict their movements, I still have the combat skills that I have trained since I was a child. What the origin power bestows upon me will never be taken away by others!! Therefore, your training is far from enough. Perhaps, letting you undergo training was a mistake … "Master Wendu said.
Anakin was a little sad. "Then what about the midpoint? What about Corellia? "
Master Wendu turned around and looked out the window again. He let out a long sigh and said, "Perhaps what we should worry about is the Republic itself …"
…
With the defeat of Anakin and Vendu, and the restoration of communications, the Cybersecurity Agency's fleet appeared around the midpoint station. The King's Party rebels in the midpoint station were finally wiped out, and the Five-Star Alliance once again took control of the midpoint station.
But things were far from over. This was because Dan Solow had taken the initiative to announce that the midpoint was in his hands. Under such a deterrent, many of the neutral parties who were on the fence had sided with the restored Solow Family. For a time, not only in the Corellia Galaxy, but also in more than 30 galaxies in the entire Corellia Galaxy, all kinds of rebellions rose one after another. Coupled with the secret support of the Republic forces, it was a mess everywhere.
As the executive officer of the Five-Star Alliance, Gamm-Bell Iblis was extremely busy, but he still could not calm the chaos in the country.
Currently, in the Corellia Galaxy, the rebellion was the most serious on the planet Selonia. The Helonians, a pro-republic organization, the Hengchuzuk Cavern, had received the secret support of the Republic. They openly opposed the Superior Cavern, one of the founding organizations of the Five Star Alliance, and beat the Five Star Alliance's army into retreat. The anti-gravity device on Selonia had not been recovered. In other words, the anti-gravity device on Selonia could fire at any time, threatening the area around the Corellia Galaxy.
Under such circumstances, the Five-Star Alliance began to consider asking the Independent Star Alliance for help. Because their own fleet and ground forces could not defeat the King's Party, but the Alliance was different. They had military strength that could easily crush Dan Solow and his King's Party.
But the most important problem was that if they wanted to get help from the Independent Star Alliance, they had to remove the Corellia Galaxy's blockade field. But once the blockade field was removed, the entire Corellia Galaxy would be open to everyone! By then, the Republic and Alliance's fleets would be free to roam around. How much sovereignty would the Five-Star Alliance have left?
Moreover, after the midpoint station was activated, the entire Corellia Galaxy would become a part of this system. The anti-gravity device on the five planets could be fired individually, emitting powerful gravitational waves. Although it would not directly destroy a planet, it would not be a problem to wipe out a fleet. But the Five-Star Alliance was also worried that if they attacked the Republic too harshly, both sides would completely fall out. Then, they would have no choice but to side with the Independent Star Alliance. If that happened, where would the independence they sought be?
So, although the midpoint station was in their hands, the Five-Star Alliance did not dare to use it. Just like what Palpatine and Count Dooku had said about them — they were just merchants!
But the chaos in Corellia could not last forever. They just lacked an opportunity!
