2356, The Deadliest Enemy
Melodious classical music played softly, echoing in the spacious room. The room was decorated in an antique style. All the furniture was made of thick and precious wood, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. The light in the room was very dim, and one could vaguely see the expensive oil paintings hanging on the wall. Most of them were portraits of people. Because of the lighting and the shadows, one could only see that these people were wearing mighty general uniforms, but not their faces.
"The multiverse … Hehehehe, this is really interesting. It seems that coming here was indeed a perfect choice. " A figure was sitting on a black velvet sofa, casually leaning against the backrest with one leg crossed. One of his hands was supporting his cheek, while the other hand, wearing a white glove, was tapping on the armrest to the rhythm of the music. His voice was full of magnetism. It was deep and even had a slight tremor. If one were to say that this was a male baritone singer, one would definitely believe it.
After a long time, this person raised his head and took a deep breath. He shook his head in an intoxicated manner, and then a pair of bright red eyes appeared in the shadows. "Ah, music … I like music. But … Alright, you can stop now. Go back and rest. Find the butler to pay you five times your salary. Oh, today … I'm in a good mood, ten times better. "
The music did not stop immediately, but continued to play until the end of this short segment. Then, a low voice of thanks came from outside the door, followed by very light footsteps. It seemed like the band had left.
A photon screen appeared out of thin air in the middle of the room. As the screen flickered, Tang Yu's information was displayed on it!
"Tang Yu … You're really a person full of mysteries … There's too little information. Every time I see you, I'm lost, and I can't even listen to the music. But, you're my biggest enemy, right? Even more than … "His finger lightly swiped across the screen." Count Dooku. "
"Hehehehe, Palpatine kept telling me that his loss was due to betrayal. A Sith actually complained about betrayal. That's too embarrassing. No, no, no … It's not because of betrayal. Count Dooku, Lendily, Corellia, the Jedi … Yes, they all betrayed me. But after that, weren't you the one who was active? Your Excellency Tang Yu. " As the man talked to himself, he gently moved his fingers. The most advanced sensor next to him immediately sensed his movements, and the soft lights in the room began to brighten.
He also stood up from the sofa. His body was tall and straight, his broad shoulders and powerful muscles all indicated that he maintained high-intensity training at all times. Her dark blue hair was neatly combed to the back of her head and styled with hair wax. The amount used was just enough to maintain a decent hairstyle without making her hair look greasy. There was a confident smile on his determined face, but it did not lose its majesty. There was no beard on his chin, which made his smile even more sinister.
However, what truly made this person stand out from the masses was his ocean-blue skin and his pair of bright red eyes! This race was very rare, and Tang Yu had indeed seen a Sefrans Tann! 'Queers!' Compared to the unknown Sefrans Tann, who disappeared like a flash in the pan, this Queers before him was much more famous …
'Mitth' rawr 'nuruodo, and his other name, which was known by almost all Star Wars fans, was Thrawn! Marshal Thrawn!
He walked to the front of the bar in the room and picked up a crystal wine glass. His gaze swept past the bottles of expensive alcohol on the wine rack without stopping. Then, he took out a bottle of cola from an eye-catching spot. He poured half a cup of cola into his glass and habitually swirled the glass. He looked at the dark brown liquid and the bubbles that were constantly rising. Then, he took a sip. At the same time, the image of Tang Yu on the holographic screen froze on a dozen or so images of him drinking the cola.
Thrawn used the tip of his tongue to taste the cola, then closed his eyes to feel it. "Excessive sugar, carbon dioxide gas, and … carbonation. This drink is very cheap, and it's not good for the body. I don't think it tastes good either … No, no, no, I don't think it tastes good. But Tang Yu doesn't think so. So, he was born into a class that often comes into contact with this cheap drink? "
As he spoke, he slowly drank the entire cup of cola. He continued to talk to himself, "But no matter what his background is, after one reaches a high position, one's body is the life of countless people. Tang Yu isn't a person who is greedy for pleasure. He won't harm his body for the taste of this cheap drink. So … there's another reason why he drinks this drink … "
He shook his finger again, and the images and data on the holographic screen started scrolling. Then, it stopped on a woman who was also holding a cup of cola in her hand! The corners of Thrawn's mouth curled up slightly. "Oh ~ ~ Peacock … The Queen of the Guardian Empire. She also drinks cola? The probability of two people with high positions liking this drink at the same time isn't high. So, who is drinking for whom? Peacock, is that you? Hehehehe, no, no, no. The impulse in your bones can't be concealed. I have too many battle records of you. So, you're a person who is more emotional than rational. You're the one who can't let go of your past habits.
"So, Tang Yu, you're a person who cares about emotions. You're willing to change some things in the slightest for the woman you love … Or does this drink carry a memory between the two of them? " As he spoke, Grand Marshal Thrawn's expression became somewhat intoxicated. "Oh, right. Two people of humble origins met in the midst of chaos. They fought side by side until they controlled the entire empire … This story is even more moving than the Quarren's operas."
"So, one of your weaknesses is your emotions, Tang Yu. You … are too easily influenced by your emotions … Hehehe, such a person can't be an emperor, right? So, you have … Ah ~ ~ Right, robots, intelligent robots. Intelligence personnel said that they call themselves mechanical lives? " Thrawn's fingers moved again, and various scenes of the mechanical life army of the Guardian Group appeared on the screen. There were even some performances of the mechanical lives sold by the Guardian Group. "Very flexible artificial intelligence? It's very interesting. I should collect more information. "
As he spoke, Thrawn picked up another crystal glass. This time, he chose a bottle of very expensive wine. After taking a sip, he sighed contentedly. "Only the coldness of machines can make up for your exuberant emotions. So, all the way until you sat on the throne, mechanical lives were your greatest help. 90% of your army is made up of robots. But … why did you emphasize the harmonious coexistence of humans and robots in the Guardian Planet and even wanted to promote this concept to the entire PNSR? "
"If it was an ordinary person, I would laugh at his stupidity. But you're different. Or rather, the robots under you are different. Perhaps, you're really imagining a society where humans and robots coexist perfectly? In your opinion, such a society is much more powerful than pure humans and pure robots? " Marshal Thrawn frowned. "But in this society, the power of both sides is unbalanced … Maybe what you need is time, but …"
He thought for a while and began to look up the recent movements of the PNSR fleet.
"Oh? The Blade Fleet has left the defense area of the Hutt Dimension and is heading towards the Guardian Planet? " Marshal Thrawn sharply saw this piece of information and the marking of the intelligence personnel. He shook his head in disappointment. "Normal internal movements? Is this the judgment of the Empire's intelligence personnel? Stupid! How can such a large-scale fleet movement be as simple as a change of defense! "
"Internal conflicts? But there are no signs of a large-scale war on the Guardian Planet … The traces of the Blade Fleet also disappeared. But this time, there must be a clear goal, right? Tang Yu. If I hadn't obtained information about the multiverse, I might have been fooled by you … Hehehe, Tang Yu, who would know that we're the same kind of people? " Marshal Thrawn smiled coldly. He slowly took off the glove on his left hand and looked at it carefully.
On the back of his left hand, there was a faint 'L'!!!
