"… Emperor! Palpatine actually wants to … become Emperor!! He … Why … "Obi-Wan looked at Peacock in disbelief.
"Man's desires are endless. However, Palpatine wants to become Emperor. His goal is probably not just to enjoy power, but to spread his power and fear to every corner of the galaxy. That way, he will become even stronger! "Peacock said.
"So, you want me to join you?" Obi-Wan Kenobi's tone suddenly calmed down.
"A Jedi Knight should have the power of a Jedi Knight. We have enough power, so we don't need you to join us urgently. Just like any other mutually beneficial agreement, we are just giving you the choice, "Peacock said.
"So what do you want me to do?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I don't care what you want to do, but for your sake, I suggest you leave the Lendili Galaxy. Because Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Corporation is a key part of the reformation of our Confederation of Independent Galaxies, "Peacock replied.
Obi-Wan Kenobi laughed coldly and said, "So you're showing your fox tail just like that? I'm afraid you want to get Lendili! "
Peacock supported herself with one hand on the table, and with a swoosh, she unfolded her Peacock feather fan. Nine red swords of light unfolded from the fan, and a thick murderous aura appeared around her. A meaningful smile appeared on her face. "I'm letting you go, actually … I'm saving you."
"Then we'll see!!" Obi-Wan Kenobi said sternly, but before he finished speaking, Peacock had already disappeared in front of him.
…
At the same time, in the Lendili Defense Fleet's base, on the Dreadnaught-class cruiser Messer-Kebir, Merlo Yago was anxiously pacing around the bridge, and kept saying, "Why isn't Peacock here yet? Why isn't Peacock here yet? If we delay any longer, Jess Dalin will find out about our little tricks!! "
"Actually, it's not just that. According to the information I received, Banjira Ulan is also about to collapse at the negotiating table. Today, he had relied on acting shamelessly to continue delaying. However, there are still 37 hours until the fleet of the Independent Star System Confederation arrives, "Kristina said.
Merlo Yago stood still and roared furiously, "You also know! You know about it too! If that was the case, why didn't they urge Peacock!! Now she had disappeared without a trace! What was going on?! Also, why did Tang Yu leave?! Does he not value us? You want to abandon us? Also! Peacock said he needed an opportunity, but where is the opportunity?! "
He became more and more irritable, and finally jumped up and began to curse. He didn't dare to scold Tang Yu and the others, so he could only scold whoever he could. Kristina looked at him and suddenly walked up to him and grabbed him by the neck! Merlo Yago immediately suffocated, his legs flailing and his face flushed red as he looked at her in horror.
"You have a bright future ahead of you in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Don't ruin it because of a moment of emotion. As for the opportunity, you'll know soon enough. " Kristina's face revealed a terrifying and cold smile, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to drop.
Merlo Yago could only nod with all his might, using almost all his strength.
With a thud, Kristina threw him to the ground, glanced at the panting Yago, and said calmly, "Peacock must guarantee that the Republic's Special Envoy won't wipe out the higher-ups of Lendili when we move. So she won't come here at the beginning of the operation. "
Yago asked in a hoarse voice, "But you're alone, what can you do?"
"A lot …" The cold smile on Kristina's face became even colder.
…
At 3 pm, Planet Lendili's official time, inside the Sundiver, the flagship of the Republic's Special Envoy fleet, the electronic eye on the head of a space robot suddenly flashed strangely, and then it suddenly shut down. Then, the data in its database was instantly cleared by a peripheral device. After a few seconds, the space robot restarted again, and the electronic eye flashed again, sending out a message in the network: [Mechanical Life, serial number U1198475A337M 90125, has arrived.]
Following that, the space robot controlled by the Mechanical Life began to move to the side, and a data probe extended from its body and inserted into the socket of the battleship's mainframe!
At the same time, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the bridge of the Sundiver battleship! A crew member ran over with a look of horror and shouted to the commander of the Republic's Special Envoy fleet, General Yang Dodonna, "General!!! Not good!! A turbolaser cannon on the side suddenly started charging, and its target is Lendili's defense fleet!! "
General Yang Dodonna said sternly, "Immediately shut down that turbolaser cannon, and immediately investigate what's going on!!"
The soldier on the fire control radar turned his head and shouted, "No!! All the circuits around this turbolaser cannon have been cut off!! It's manually activated!! "
"Immediately send a team of marines over!! Find out who's behind this! "General Dodonna said.
"General!! The people from Lendili's defense fleet are sending a message asking why we're aiming at them!! "The communications soldier turned his head and said.
"General, there's less than 30 seconds before the cannon opens fire!! The marines won't be able to get there in time!! "a staff officer shouted.
"Get them there as soon as possible!! Also, can you cut off the power supply of that turbolaser cannon? "General Dodonna said.
"No, General. The switches of the energy circuits around the turbolaser cannon have also been locked! The other party has deliberately come here! There's only one way now! Shut down the entire battleship's engine!! "a technical soldier said.
Dodonna's expression instantly turned ugly. In this delicate situation, the shutdown of the battleship's engine was self-evident. This was especially so for a huge battleship like the Hunter Class Cruiser. Once the engine was shut down, it would take at least 10 minutes to restart again! And during this period of time, the entire battleship was in a completely defenseless state! Moreover, the battleship Sandy was the flagship of the entire fleet!!
Time passed second by second, but General Dodonna still did not say a word.
"General …?" His adjutant turned around anxiously, but seeing Dodonna's expression, he did not dare to say anything.
Suddenly! A bright green beam of light flashed outside the porthole. The turbolaser cannon had opened fire!! The green laser beam instantly hit a Victory-class planet destroyer of the Lendili defense fleet. However, the other party had already activated the energy shield, so it did not cause any direct damage.
General Dodonna just watched all this happen with a livid expression because he knew that he could not stop it.
Less than 10 seconds after the turbolaser cannon fired, a team of clone soldiers smashed open the closed cabin door and rushed in. However, what they saw was only a space robot that had just self-destructed!!
[Mechanical life, serial number U1198475A337M 90125. Mission completed. Return to the Holy Mountain.]
In the capital of Lendili, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who received the notification, suddenly reacted. He pointed at the SSR and shouted, "You did this, right?! You betrayed me!!! "
