2245. The Outcast of Mandalore (Part )

A somewhat old Neimoidian Sheathpod-class shuttle flew into a valley, lowered its altitude, passed through the rugged rocks at low altitude, and finally flew very accurately into a large cave.

With guidance, the shuttle landed in a huge artificial space inside the cave. The hatch opened, and Jango Fett and Boba Fett, father and son, walked out wearing Mandalorian armor.

Immediately, dozens of warriors in dark blue painted armor came forward and surrounded them.

All we can see is that most of these warriors are women, and although the armor they wear is also the common style of the Mandalorians, the lines are much softer, and the jet packs on their backs seem to be more powerful. They should be flexible and agile on the battlefield.

These are the warriors of the Night Owls, a guard squad formed by Bo-Katan-Kryze by selecting elite soldiers from the Death Watch. In fact, the establishment of the Night Owls was originally a decision made by Super-Vizla to win over Bo-Katan-Kryze. Therefore, the average quality of the Night Owls is higher than that of the Death Watch, but the number is very small and they cannot really confront the Death Watch head-on.

There were dozens of blaster rifles, no less than ten automatic turrets installed on the surrounding mountain walls, and in the shadows in the distance, the reflection of sniper rifle scopes flashed by. Such a scene made young Boba Fett a little nervous. His body was a little stiff, and his fingers couldn't help but want to put on his waist, where the pistol was.

However, Boba Fett missed the opportunity because they had already unloaded all their weapons and equipment when they got off the spaceship.

Jango Fett was a man who had seen a lot of things. He raised his hands and said calmly, "I am Jango Fett, the leader of the true Mandalorians and the commander of the Mandalorian Restoration Army. I come to see Miss Bo-Katan Kryze."

Calling Bo-Katan Kryze "Miss" is very particular. Because Bo-Katan Kryze has now resigned from the position of Grand Duke of Mandalore, but she is also the sister of the former Grand Duke of Mandalore, Satine Kryze. This kind of address is equivalent to recognizing Satine Kryze's status as Grand Duke of Mandalore.

At a time when Super Vizsla is doing his utmost to discredit Satine Kryze's previous peace policy, such a statement also expresses Jango Fett's great sincerity.

"Bo-Katan's instructions to us are to kill all invading separatists," said one of the Night Owl warriors.

"I think Miss Bo-Katan may have some misunderstandings about us. I hope to talk to her in person." Jango Fett said.

"Isn't it?" The Night Owl warrior said sarcastically, "You sold your genes to the Galactic Republic, then joined Count Dooku for money and worked for the Separatists. And now, you work for the Principality of Dawn... The Principality of Dawn, Tang Xiao? Haha... the biggest separatist warlord. So tell me, Jango Fett, are you a separatist or not?"

"I came here for Mandalore and the billions of people on it." Jango Fett said in a deep voice, "I didn't go to find the Principality of Dawn, nor did I go to find Severance Tann. I came here to find you, Bo-Katan Kryze. This is my sincerity... I have never thought of selling Mandalore to the Principality of Dawn for personal gain. Now that I am standing here, it is the biggest proof."

"Hahahaha!" A mocking laugh came from a distance, and Bo-Katan Kryze came out. She was not wearing a helmet, but still wearing armor. She walked towards Jango Fett and said, "Your whole body has been transformed by the Umbrella Pharmaceuticals Corporation. From muscles to bones, it's all made by the Principality of Dawn. The combat armor you are wearing, ah, it's so sophisticated, so strong and light, it's made by the Principality of Dawn. Even the shuttle you drove here is a Coleopteran-class produced by the Trade Federation. Who doesn't know that the Trade Federation is a running dog of the Principality of Dawn? So this guy standing in front of me, who I don't know if he is a human or not, is all made of the Principality of Dawn from the inside out, and you want to tell me that you won't sell the planet Mandalore to the Principality of Dawn? Hahahaha!" "The Principality of Dawn gave me the power of revenge, which I cannot deny." Jango Fett said in a deep voice, "But this is my only choice... Because if I don't do this, I will have no chance to fight against Beyond Vizla. I sold my body and soul just for this one chance. And when I succeed in killing Beyond Vizla and overthrowing his rule, I and the 20 Mandalorian warriors are willing to commit suicide to thank the world!"

"You are not even qualified to be compared with Transcendent Vizla." Bo-Katan Kryze said coldly, "You abandoned Mandalore 30 years ago and hid in the remote Outer Rim Star Region, claiming to be the strongest bounty hunter, and turning a blind eye to everything on Mandalore. You keep saying you want revenge, but you kowtow to the Jedi Knights who massacred our Mandalorian people, and even sold your genetic information to the Jedi Knights to form a clone army. Do you have any trust in me now?"

"Although the establishment of the clone army was nominally signed by Jedi Master Cypher Dias, the actual controllers were Count Dooku and Darth Sidious. I knew about this conspiracy from the beginning. Moreover, I have never given up fighting against the Jedi Knights until now!" Jango Fett said in a deep voice.

Bo-Katan Kryze snorted coldly and said, "Do you know why I asked you to come here? Because I think people like you, even if they are alive, are a blasphemy to the planet Mandalore. Who gave you the courage and qualifications to call yourself the Mandalore Restoration Army? I asked you to come here just to kill you. Now, prepare to die!"

She raised her hand, ready to give the order to shoot.

Jango Fett stepped forward and stood in front of Boba Fett, saying, "Kill me, no problem. I have long made up my mind to return this life to the planet Mandalore! But I only hope that you can let my son go."

"Your son?" Bo-Katan Kryze tilted her head and looked at the Mandalorian warrior next to Jango.

Although Boba Fett was already strong, he was still smaller than Jango Fett without the transformation. Facing Bo-Katan Kryze's aggressiveness, he stood there somewhat stiffly.

Bo-Katan Kryze walked over step by step, passed Jango Fett, and came to Boba Fett, looking at the young warrior, then pulled out a pistol and put it against Boba Fett's head, and said coldly: "Now, take off your helmet, boy."

Boba Fett looked at his father, hesitant.

But Bo-Katan-Kryze tapped him on the helmet with the butt of his pistol and said, "I'm asking you to take off your helmet and not look at your father. Haven't you grown up yet?"

Helmets hold a special place in Mandalorian culture, and Bo-Katan Kryze asking Boba Fett to take off his helmet is undoubtedly a serious provocation! (End of this chapter)
