2262. The Little Smuggler
Galaxy, Outer Rim, Planet Kashyyyk.
This was the home planet of the Wookiees, but in fact, other than Master Yoda who had hired the Wookiees a few times when the Republic was in charge of the Jedi Knights, most of the time, this very backward planet was inconspicuous in the Milky Way Galaxy. At most, they were hired as mercenaries. Of course, the taverns were an exception. The tall and powerful Wookiees were one of the famous Three Tyrants of the Tavern. Whenever there was a fight in the chaotic taverns of the Outer Rim, they were always the most conspicuous ones.
By the way, the other two of the Three Tyrants of the Tavern were the Gamorreans and the Arvith. These races were known for their simple minds and brawn. They were very honest when they fought, and they dared to fight with their fists. On the other hand, the cunning races, such as the humans, the Faleans, and the Bothans, were always full of tricks in every fight. They would often use their weapons, or they would call their friends to swarm and bully the weak.
But just because the Republic did not take them seriously, it did not mean that Tang Yu did not. No one knew better than him how terrifying the Wookiees were. In the original plot, the Wookiees had long been active in the battlefield against the Galactic Empire and were an important force of the Revolutionary Alliance. A team of fully armed Wookiees could even easily kill ten times the number of Imperial Stormtroopers. And most importantly, the Wookiees had a very good relationship with Master Yoda, and even regarded him as their mentor. This also made them very firm on the side of the Jedi Knights.
Therefore, the main reason why Tang Yu launched the Battle of Umbara was to subdue the Wookiees. At the very least, he wanted to separate them from the Republic's war machine.
After the Battle of Umbara, the Umbarans joined the Confederation of Independent Systems. The main hyperspace route between the Wookiees and the Republic was cut off. They could only transport some weapons and supplies through smugglers, and then … fight guerrilla warfare with the Confederation. However, Tang Yu, who was familiar with the plot, did not waste too much time with the Wookiees. After he ordered the commander to occupy the main cities of Kashyyyk, he did not fight too much with the Wookiees, trying to avoid creating more hatred.
However, he underestimated the Wookiees' stubbornness. They still persisted in fighting the Confederation of Independent Systems in the form of guerrilla warfare. When the Republic discovered this battlefield behind enemy lines, they began to support it in secret, causing the resistance to intensify. However, Tang Yu did not care about this place at all. He left it to Fox Fairy. Later, even Fox Fairy got tired of playing around. She handed the job of occupying Planet Kashk to the mechanical lives. Anyway, they were not afraid of death, and they had infinite patience. They would just treat it as training.
But because of this, smuggling war supplies to Planet Kashk became a hot job for the smugglers. The Guardian Planet in charge of this war zone was lazy and did not put in any effort to clean up the smugglers. With the support of the Republic, the Wookiees offered a high price, so many smugglers were willing to use this route.
A modified transport ship landed in the dense forest of Kashyyyk. In the depths of the forest was a very inconspicuous landing platform. Several Gnawing Bee reconnaissance aircraft produced by the Wookiees appeared around them. This reconnaissance aircraft was only a kind of aircraft within the atmosphere. It was very light and flexible, relying on eight pairs of thin metal wings to fly. When flying, the eight pairs of wings flapped like insects, making it look a bit like a bee.
The hatch of the transport ship opened, and the leader of the smuggling team shouted at his men to move the goods out of the warehouse. A few heavily armed Wookiees also came over and stood beside them to prevent the smugglers from taking advantage of the situation. Among this group of smugglers, there was an inconspicuous child who was also carrying the goods with great difficulty. He was about 11 or 12 years old. Although he was far stronger than his peers, compared to the goods, he was still a little weak. However, he still tried his best to carry the goods.
This group of smugglers had obviously been doing this for a long time. They quickly negotiated a price with the Wookiees. After carrying the goods, they immediately boarded the transport ship and left. They did not want to stay on this chaotic planet for another minute. After the little boy boarded the ship, he sat in the co-pilot's seat and skillfully operated the instrument panel.
The ship successfully took off. The little boy entered a set of coordinates into the computer, set the route, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The leader of the smuggling team came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good job, Han. This is your share." As he said that, he transferred a sum of credits to the little boy.
"Okay! The route has been set. We will arrive on Planet Agrila in four hours. Call me when the time comes. "The little boy waved his hand in a very mature manner and then walked towards the cabin.
Opening the rusty hatch, he walked into his own cabin. It was very cramped and simple. There was only a small foldable bed with basic spaceship maintenance books on it. However, the moment he walked into the cabin and was about to close the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then, like lightning, he pulled out a pistol from his waist! But in the darkness, a person was faster. With a slap, the pistol flew out of his hand!
The little boy turned around and wanted to run out, but just as he turned around, he ran into the arms of a person! And this person's iron-like hands had already grabbed him tightly, making it impossible for him to escape. Then, a young female voice came. "Be quiet, I mean no harm. Let's talk first … Han. "
Only then did the little boy stop struggling. In fact, just now, he realized that whether it was his strength or speed, he was worlds apart from this woman. She could definitely kill him very easily. Resistance was useless. The little boy rolled his eyes and said, "You're looking for Han? He's still piloting the spaceship on the bridge. Should I call him over? "
However, the woman in the dark was unmoved. She just closed the hatch and turned on the lights. Only then did the little boy see clearly that the person who came was a very beautiful girl who was at most 17 or 18 years old. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a cheeky smile, "Was it you who hugged me just now? This lovely sister, by the way, may I know your name? "
"My name is Cameron Phillips, from the Independent Star Confederation," the girl said.
Hearing the Independent Star Confederation, Han's expression suddenly changed. He snorted coldly and said, "I wonder why these separatist men who use robots to kill everywhere are looking for a child like me?"
"Of course, I brought you good news," Cameron said.
"My life is already very good now. You don't have to worry about it," Han said.
"You escaped from Gareth Strike's place because you don't want to work yourself to death and only have a little income, so you came to this smuggler team. Although the price they offered you is only a quarter of an official pilot's, it's high enough for an 11-year-old child, right? "Cameron directly exposed Han's lie.
"This is only because I've just joined. They'll give me more later!" Han looked a little impatient. "This is none of your business. If you're just here to chat with me, then you can leave now!"
"As long as you do one thing for us, I'll immediately give you 100,000 credits, plus a … YT-1300 Interstellar Cargo Ship. You can immediately become a captain, form your own team, and then freely explore the galaxy, "Cameron said with a faint smile.
Hearing this price, Han's expression suddenly changed. 100,000 credits was a huge sum of money! However, what was very strange was that he actually resisted this temptation and only said, "I know how much my rotten life is worth, so there must be a conspiracy for you to offer such a high price! I refuse! "
"Before you refuse, why don't you listen to what it is? Moreover, from what I know of you, your life is really quite valuable, "Cameron said.
