The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2232: The End of the Legend

"Listen, Ferri, I need more ships! ... No, not those crappy ones, good ships with better hyperspace engines, preferably without identification codes." Although the holographic projection was not turned on, Yuri Orlov still showed a bright smile and said to the communicator, "Quantity? 100, no, no... more, I need 200! Hey... You don't need to worry about where to go, you just need to know that money is not a problem! In a word, have you got it or not!"

But immediately, he slammed the communicator to the ground and cursed, "Fuck! They are all a bunch of sons of bitches!"

He wiped his face fiercely with both hands, and then said to the assistant beside him: "Arrange the spaceship. I need to go to Nar Shada in person. Those smugglers are scared now!"

The assistant also shook his head and said, "They should be afraid. The Galactic Empire is going crazy now. They have almost expanded their patrol range to at least 5 seconds around the three wealth planets. Basically, all ships approaching there will be carefully checked, and sometimes even fired upon directly."

Yuri Orlov's expression suddenly changed and he laughed, "Hahaha, isn't that perfect? ​​The Trade Union is offering five times the price now! Five times! Hahaha! Isn't it good to make money? I can just use the credit ingots in my warehouse to buy a fleet!"

"Let's go back to Dawn Planet. Nashada may not be safe either," said the assistant.

"Listen to me, Jones. There is no absolutely safe place in this galaxy. Even if I drink a sip of water, I might choke to death, right?" Yuri Orlov waved his hand, "And don't worry, Narshada is much safer now than before, at least for me. The Gorensla family that now rules Hutt Space is ours, don't forget."

Assistant Jones could only nod and say, "Okay, we have already sent people to explore the secret route provided by the Trade Federation. The route is indeed fine, but it requires more jumps. This will cause more hyperspace fluctuations, and it may be monitored by the Galactic Empire's outposts."

"That's why I need more ships!" Yuri Orlov raised a finger and said, "Once! Just once! Send these one million tons of military supplies to Cato Neimoidia, and I'll make enough money for the rest of my life."

"Are you still short of money now?" Assistant Jones asked back.

"Shortage! More than ever!" Yuri Orlov laughed dryly with a hypocritical face.

He picked up a new communicator and walked out the door.

However, at this moment, the air around them suddenly twisted, and two ghost agents suddenly appeared without warning, sandwiching Yuri Orlov on the left and right. One of them shouted sternly: "Leave immediately! Enter the highest alert! Let everyone come out!"

"Is it an enemy attack?" Assistant Jones was horrified and immediately pressed the button on the communicator. Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the huge loading and unloading base.

"Who is it? Who?!" Yuri Orlov asked loudly, "Where are the sentries and guards around?"

"Imperial Inquisitor!" The Ghost Agent said as he pulled Yuri towards the back door. "Forget about those sentries! They are dead!"

  As if to confirm his words, there was a sudden loud explosion outside!

boom! boom! boom! !

This was followed by a series of gunshots and screams.

"Hurry up! Imperial Inquisitor, we can't stop us!" The Ghost Agent thought Yuri was too slow, so he simply picked him up and carried him on his shoulders. With his powerful physical strength that exceeded the limits of ordinary people, he was still able to walk briskly while carrying a person.

  At this moment, outside the base, a heroic female warrior named Arden Lin, who was wearing a black tight combat uniform and had short, neat hair, let out a long roar. Her figure was like lightning, and she flashed over and punched the air!

But the seemingly empty air suddenly twisted, and a ghost agent was directly knocked out! His body twisted, and this punch directly took her life!

"You're quite perceptive, Ghost Agent." Arden Lin said coldly, "Since you've discovered us, I won't be polite."

"Kill!!!" A Tuskensha man dressed in black, waving a Garfield stick in his hand, rushed in directly from the main gate. He was incredibly fast, and the Garfield stick with the power of the Force could even block bullets and blaster beams!

He rushed straight forward, and the hundreds of B-1 combat robots guarding the gate were unable to stop him and were smashed into pieces one by one by his stick.

This was Hora, Arden Lin's second apprentice and also the strongest one.

Another huge figure followed closely behind. This was a sturdy Gamorrean, and this guy was even bigger than the ordinary Gamorrean. The Gamorrean was originally fat and strong like an upright wild boar, but this Gamorrean was more like a monster!

He opened his mouth and spewed out a powerful flame that spread like a sea of ​​fire. The robots and guards hiding behind the bunkers were immediately surrounded by flames.

Sok, a Gamorrean, was the third disciple of Arden-Lin.

The three of them rushed around the base, and no one could stop them. The B-1 battle robots that were originally carrying goods dropped the boxes, picked up the E-5 blaster rifles from their backs and fired a burst of shots. There were also some B-2 super battle robots among them, and they rushed over while firing wildly, trying to surround the invaders.

In addition, more than a dozen round robots rolled out from the surrounding warehouses, their bodies unfolded, their energy shields activated, and their two twin-mounted blaster machine guns fired dense blaster beams! These destroyer robots may not be very useful on the front battlefield, but when used as guards, they are very terrifying!

But it was all in vain...

  Especially Arden Lin, she was like a killing god, no one could stand where she went. With one punch, she even smashed through those two-story metal modular houses!

In a hidden place, at least 10 Ghost agents were holding C-10 sniper rifles, aiming at Arden Lin and his men and firing. However, under the perception of the Force, they couldn't hit them at all!

A ghost agent squatted on the roof of a building 300 meters away, aiming at Arden Lin who was jumping up and down. He slowly moved the muzzle of the gun and slowly exerted force with his index finger, ready to pull the trigger.

However, at this moment, he suddenly turned back and blocked it with his gun! Bang! It was a fist that hit him, and the sturdy sniper rifle was bent by the punch and completely scrapped.

The ghost agent also reacted very quickly. He abandoned his sniper rifle and suddenly pulled out a polymer vibration dagger from his waist. He instantly made a dazzling knife flower and stabbed at an extremely tricky angle! Bang! The next second, the ghost agent was hit hard in the chest. He rolled several meters on the ground like a gourd, and then suddenly hit the wall and stopped.

The Ghost Agent stood up tremblingly, looking at the young, handsome, black-clad warrior with an oriental face standing in front of him. He even couldn't imagine where such a young man got such powerful strength from?

Jing Fang said coldly: "Put down your weapons, surrender or run for your life. This is your last chance."

  What responded to him was a flash of sword light!

Jing Fang twisted his body and punched the ghost agent's elbow accurately. With a snap, the bone broke and the polymer vibration knife fell out of his hand. Then he turned around and kicked the ghost agent hard in the temple! This extremely powerful warrior fell to the ground without a sound.

As the first apprentice accepted by Arden Lin in this era, Jing Fang does not have the amazing talent of Hora the Tuskensha, nor the terrible physical fitness of Sok the Gamorrean, but he is diligent enough and has solid basic skills. Most importantly, he can always remain calm on the battlefield.

So Hola and Sok could only follow Arden Lin to charge head-on, but the task of clearing out the surrounding snipers could only be done by Jing Fang.

"Are these people monsters?!" Yuri Orlov was watching the battlefield through the surveillance footage displayed in the universal tool on his wrist, and was extremely terrified. "If they were dark Jedi, why didn't they use lightsabers?"

"Facial matching has been completed. The person coming is Arden Lin." The ghost agent carrying him said, "According to our intelligence, this is a super strong person who can only be fought by the Grand Duke or the priestess. Her fighting style is that she never uses a lightsaber. In short, we must leave. Those guards will buy us time."

"Tanks! There are more tanks!" Yuri Orlov remembered something and shouted, "There are 7 Scorpion tanks in Warehouse No. 10!"

Assistant Jones, who had been running after him, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take some people to drive the tanks right away! Yuri, you go!"

They were not far from the spaceship, and the Ghost Agent quickened his pace carrying Yuri Orlov.

  However, Arden Lin had already caught up with him. She smashed a B-1 combat robot with one punch, picked up the E-5 blaster rifle in the robot's hand and fired at Yuri. Taking advantage of the Ghost Agent's dodge, she rushed forward!

But she did not rush towards Yuri, but suddenly flashed to the side.

Boom!!! A high-explosive bomb exploded where she had just stood. The powerful blast wave spread with blazing flames. However, Arden Lin stood still in the midst of the strong wind, her clothes fluttering. She clenched her fists and looked over there coldly.

Boom~~~! A Scorpio tank smashed through the warehouse door and rushed over, firing as it rushed. The coaxial parallel machine gun next to the tank's main gun and the remote-controlled machine gun next to the cockpit opened fire, and countless bullets poured in.

Assistant Jones was sitting in the commander's seat, manipulating the main gun. At this time, the autoloader had finished loading, and the fire control system locked onto Arden-Lin, who was standing still. Jones roared, "Die! I'll see how you can deal with the tank without a lightsaber! Huh!? Come on!"

  He pressed the launch button suddenly, and the M-512 multi-functional artillery equipped on the Scorpio tank opened fire again, and the 90mm caliber high-explosive bomb was fired instantly!

Arden Lin still did not move, but just looked coldly at the Scorpion tank rushing towards him. Just as Assistant Jones pressed the firing button, her mechanical right arm suddenly punched out!

Boom!!! The violent explosion instantly engulfed her figure completely.

However, in the flames, one could see that Arden Lin's punch had hit the cannonball! Boom~~~~~ The exploding flames and strong winds blew past her, destroying almost everything around her, except herself.

The terrifyingly powerful Force barrier blocked almost all attacks!

  Arden Lin disappeared instantly after slapping out the ignition of her clothes caused by the explosion. The next second, she suddenly appeared in front of Assistant Jones's Scorpio tank and punched the cockpit hard!

Bang! Squeak~~~~! After a muffled sound, there was a sound of metal twisting, and a huge dent was smashed directly on the front of the Scorpio tank.

Then, the tank came to a complete stop. Not only the tank, but even the crew members inside did not get out.

  Assistant Jones was sitting in the driver's seat with a dull expression and blood coming out of all his orifices. He was actually killed directly by the force contained in this punch!

"Why is this guy so powerful with his fists?" Yuri Orlov was almost paralyzed by fear, his voice trembling.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" The Ghost Agent threw him into the spaceship, turned around, pulled out his pistol and was ready to fight.

However, with a loud bang, a turret of a Scorpio tank was thrown over, and it hit the engine nozzle of the spacecraft directly like a cannonball! A large amount of thick smoke suddenly spurted out from the nozzle, and the spacecraft that was about to take off fell to the ground crookedly.

From the warehouse, more Scorpion tanks were rushing towards this side, and it would only take a dozen seconds to rush over. But... it was too late.

Arden Lin was now standing next to the spaceship that Yuri Orlov had just boarded, and the ghost agent had his neck broken by her.

She walked forward and directly pried open the hatch of the spaceship with her bare hands, making a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting. Then she looked at the trembling Yuri Orlov coldly and said, "Yuri Orlov, nicknamed 'Santa Claus'. You are suspected of illegal arms trafficking, supporting the rebellion of the traitorous Trade Federation, tax evasion, and inciting war. You will be arrested and escorted back to Coruscant... uh, the Imperial Center, to be tried by the Imperial Supreme Court."

"Do you want to catch me? Beauty. Hehehehe..." Yuri Orlov laughed dumbly.

Arden Lin suddenly turned his hand around, and the metal mechanical arm accurately blocked a bullet. This bullet was actually shot at Yuri Orlov!

She sneered and said, "It seems that your master doesn't intend to keep you alive."

Inside a building at the back, Jing Fang stood in front of a ghost agent and said sarcastically: "No wonder I couldn't sense your presence just now. It turns out that you didn't participate in the battle from beginning to end. You only have one mission, to ensure that Yuri Orlov is not captured alive, right?" (End of this chapter)
