Chapter 2232 The End of the Lord of War (Part )

2233. The End of the Lord of War (Part )

Faced with Jing Fang who suddenly appeared in front of him, the Ghost Agent drew his sword and tried to stab him, but he was no match for him and was immediately hit in the neck by Jing Fang's punch. His Adam's apple was shattered and he fell to the ground and died, holding his neck.

Jing Fang looked at the corpse of the ghost agent, kicked the C-10 sniper rifle away, looked around, and said in the communicator: "This should be the last one... His mission was to kill Yuri Orlov first when he saw that the situation was irreversible."

Arden Lin on the other side shook the earphones in his hand and sneered at Yuri Orlov who was still sitting in the wreckage of the spacecraft: "Did you hear that? It seems that Tang Xiao never intended to let you live from the beginning."

"Hehehe..." Yuri Orlov laughed bitterly. He fumbled for a cigar from his chest, shook it at Arden Lin and asked, "Is it okay?"

"If it makes you feel better." Arden Lin nodded.

Yuri lit up the cigar, took a deep puff and said, "This is not that surprising... Tang Xiao is actually quite ruthless. Even before he came into contact with the dark side of the Force, some of his decisions were immature but already very ruthless. Besides, I am not really subordinate to the Principality of Dawn now, so it is normal for him to be on guard against me."

He smiled, exhaled a puff of smoke in the direction of Arden Lin, and said, "But to be honest, he has changed a lot. Back then, he said he was dreaming and saw the foreshadowing of the Force, so he insisted on following me to Tatooine. At that time, he was just a big boy, ha. Woo, cough cough cough... Then, there was the interstellar pirate Ironfang Kuken and his Hammerhead-class cruiser... My journey with Tang Xiao began just like that. Cough cough cough..."

Arden Lin's nose suddenly twitched, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "No smoking! Spit it out!!"

As she said that, she rushed forward and snatched the cigar from Yuri's mouth.

But it was too late. Yuri Orlov's lips turned black, the capillaries under his skin turned visibly black, and his body began to twitch uncontrollably.

However, he still had a smile on his face. "Although... I left the Principality of Dawn, but... how could I really leave... cough cough, this is all business... ha cough cough... in the end... cough... I still..."

He raised his hand and pointed behind Arden Lin.

Arden Lin looked back and saw hundreds of spaceships rising into the sky from a distance, quickly disappearing into the sky.

When she turned to look at Yuri Orlov again, she found that his raised hand had drooped down, and he was completely silent.

A moment later, Hora and Sok, who had cleared the remaining soldiers around, came over. Jing Fang came to the wreckage of the spacecraft a few minutes later and saw Yuri Orlov's body.

"Poisoned?" Jing Fang frowned.

"He committed suicide. And... we couldn't stop his last batch of arms from being sent out." Arden Lin sighed, squatted down and searched Yuri Orlov's clothes for a while, but found nothing else, only a stack of business cards with dynamic images. The business card showed a fat old man dancing. The old man was wearing a red cotton coat with white edges and a pointed hat, holding a lace cane in his hand, dancing and repeating, "Santa Claus is at your service, dear. You know who I am. As long as you need it, Christmas gifts are available at any time!"

Arden Lin casually threw the business card at Yuri, closed his angry eyes, and then stood up.

"This man was arrested by the Jedi Order during the Galactic Republic era for causing a civil war on the planet Ceria. The one who arrested him at the time was Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. But later, because the Republic could not convict him, he was acquitted. Because of that incident, Obi-Wan was very disappointed with the Republic." Jing Fang said, "But this time, he was so determined?"

"He should know that the Empire is different from the Republic. This time, he has no chance of escaping." Arden Lin said calmly, "Let's go. Our mission is accomplished. If we kill this guy, the Trade Union's last foreign aid will be cut off."

"What about the munitions that have been sent away?" Jing Fang asked. "I just took a rough look and there aren't many munitions piled up here. There are only ten Scorpion tanks. I always thought they would send out at least 100 tanks to chase us."

"The arms sent out have nothing to do with our mission." Arden Lin said: "This mission should make Palpatine trust us more. No... but it is not enough. I will become his most capable subordinate..."

A cold and cruel smile appeared on her lips.

"What should we do next?" Jing Fang asked.

"Go back and report to Darth Vader. The general attack on the Trade Federation's wealth planet is about to begin. This is a good opportunity to earn more credit." Arden Lin waved his hand, "Pack up the spoils, especially Santa Claus's body and the bodies of the ghost agents. They are the focus."

……

"Are you sure?" Tang Xiao looked at the information in front of him, his face turning pale.

"I'm sure, sir. Yuri Orlov's whereabouts were exposed, and he was chased all the way to Tatooine by the Imperial Inquisitor Arden Lin, and the base's defenses were breached head-on. After that, the base lost contact... About half an hour later, Yuri Orlov's life detector went out." Minister of Military Intelligence Saratan Moss reported to Tang Xiao.

"Aden Lin..." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth, his heart raging with anger, "When did this troublemaker return to the empire?"

"It should have happened more than a year ago... I don't know the exact information. The actions of the Imperial Inquisitors are highly confidential, and the information we have is very insufficient." Saratan-Moss said.

"No! Even if it's Arden Lin, she's just more powerful!" Tang Xiao slapped the table, his tone filled with anger, "The key to the matter is why she was able to track down Yuri Orlov!?"

Saratan Moss nodded and replied, "It should be the Trade Federation. Recently, Darth Vader sent an elite team to launch a special sabotage operation against Cato Neimoidia, causing heavy losses to the planet's transportation and supplies. Newt Gunray cried and asked us to provide more assistance more than once. I think he also asked Yuri Orlov to give him more. In addition, during this period of time, Cato Neimoidia was a complete mess. The possibility of those elite teams intercepting intelligence is actually not small."
