The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2134. Regency Committee (Part )

"This is absolutely not possible! Prime Minister! If the Principality of Dawn doesn't send troops, the Trade Alliance will be finished! No, not only the Trade Alliance, but even we Neimoidians will be finished!" Newt Gunray also risked his life and yelled at Francis.

Francis Underwood also had a solemn expression on his face. He said in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't want to help you, Mr. Newt Gunray. It's just that the Principality of Dawn cannot risk going to war with the Galactic Empire by sending troops now."

"Are we just going to wait for them to completely destroy us?" Newt Gunray also yelled at Francis, "I want to see Tang Xiao! I want to see the Grand Duke!"

This was totally out of character for this cowardly Neimoidian, who wouldn't even have the courage to talk to an officer without a hundred or so combat robots around him.

"The Grand Duke... well, you know he is currently busy dealing with things in the unknown star region. He will not be back in the short term." Francis said, "And recently due to the hyperspace turbulence, communication with the Grand Duke has not been smooth. However, he has already entrusted his wife, the First Lady Edel Wulan, to handle all affairs of the Principality of Dawn."

"So can I go find Edel Ulan and send troops?" Newt Gunray said anxiously.

Francis sighed, shook his head and said, "I will inform her of this matter immediately, and then we will hold a summit to discuss how to deal with it."

After saying this, he pressed a button, instructing his assistant to send out a notice proposing a meeting.

In fact, without waiting for his assistant to notify him, less than 10 minutes later, Adele Ulan had already sent a meeting notice.

Now that the Galactic Empire's intention to destroy and annex the Trade Federation has been made clear, it is natural that the Principality of Dawn could not be unaware of it.

Because of Tang Xiao’s disappearance, the nine members of the secretly established Regency Committee gathered again to hold a meeting to discuss.

The nine-member Regency Committee is: Regent Tang Yun, Regent Edel Ulan, Regent Ministers Francis Underwood and Helmut Zemo, Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Governor of Sesvenna Sector Ling Liang, Priestess of Dusk Covenant Priestess, Navy Commander-in-Chief Matt Horner, and Army Commander-in-Chief Xian Hui.

Although Tang Yun was only six years old, she still sat firmly at the head with a serious expression. She was wearing a black dress, a silver crown on her head, and her long hair was tied up on both sides of her head, showing a nobility that did not match her age.

Her mother, Adele-Ulan, sat a little behind her, like a shadow.

The others were seated on the left and right, with the priestess still attending the meeting remotely via encrypted hyperspace communication.

The priestess said first: "Let me talk about Orega first. The Protoss has sent a team led by Felix, consisting of 6 high-level templars and 100 fanatic warriors to hunt down Orega. At the same time, the Nerazim of the Sali-Gal tribe also sent four dark templars to assist them. And on our side, Judgment is also working with them."

Tang Yun nodded and said, "It would be great if this power can ensure that we can deal with Orega. Does Phoenix guarantee this?"

The priestess said: "Based on my previous experience of fighting against Orega, I think this force can defeat Orega, but it cannot bring him to justice. But before Tang Xiao comes back, we can only use this much force... because Orega is not someone who can be dealt with by relying on numbers." "Then keep hunting him down, at least keep his actions under our control." Tang Yun nodded.

"That's exactly what Phoenix is ​​doing." The priestess nodded.

"Then, is there any progress regarding my father's whereabouts?" Tang Yun asked Francis Underwood again.

The one who answered was Matt Horner, who has been in charge of this matter recently. "We have already contacted the unknown star region, and the Protoss high-level Templars Lasdian and Rosales also explained what happened at the time. Tang Xiao and their fleet were ambushed by the main fleet of the Grisk Hegemony. At the same time, a powerful Grisk person raided Tang Xiao's mind, which made him very angry, so he personally led the warship to kill them."

He shook his head and said, "Lasdian and Rosales didn't know what happened afterwards. They just sensed that the two missing Dark Templars, Aura-Khan and Sora-A, sacrificed themselves and merged into the Dark Archon. Then, the fleet of the Grisk Hegemony retreated completely, and Tang Xiao also disappeared."

Tang Yun's tears welled up after hearing this. She couldn't help crying as she spoke, "Father will be fine! Right?"

"There is no doubt that Grand Duke Tang Xiao did win, although the price may be very heavy. But I believe that since he won, he must still be alive." Matt Horner said firmly, "Because the Grisk Hegemony retreated, we will not continue to increase the strength of the unknown star field battleship for the time being. But we will send more elites to investigate the situation, and the Dark Templar will also help us."

In fact, what he didn't say was that there might be another situation here - Tang Xiao failed and was captured by the Grisk Hegemony. In fact, if this is the outcome, the Grisk Hegemony's withdrawal is reasonable.

Of course, this possibility is not suitable for discussion.

Afterwards, they discussed some important things that happened recently in the Principality of Dawn. Tang Yun performed very well. Although she didn't need to make decisions on many issues, she still fulfilled her role very well.

Adele-Ulan quietly prompted her in all her replies, but Adele naturally would not teach her word by word, so Tang Yun had to figure out how to organize her words herself.

Tang Yun is worthy of being Tang Xiao's daughter. She has the best talents in both IQ and Force, and she has done very well.

"Next, it's the issue of the trade alliance, right?" Tang Yun said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became solemn.

"This incident is undoubtedly an action taken by the Galactic Empire against us." Qi Jian said, "Your Excellency the High Priestess, does this mean that Emperor Palpatine has also sensed the disappearance of the Grand Duke?"

The priestess nodded. "The Trade Federation has a complex network of forces in the Milky Way. It is definitely not a matter of a few words to deal with them. It requires greater risks. The Galactic Empire chose to take action at this time. There is no doubt that they sensed something." (End of this chapter)
