The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2284 Changes in the sky

2285. Change of weather

  On February 11, 2 BBY, in the core circle of the Milky Way, on the planet Tepasi, something happened that shocked the entire Galactic Empire! The one involved was one of the most powerful families in the Milky Way - the Tag family!

At nightfall in the planet's capital, Anros-Tag City, something unexpected happened at the Tag Corporation headquarters! All security personnel and office staff near the headquarters suddenly received an order to leave the headquarters immediately without delay!

The relevant personnel who received the instructions did not know what was going on, but the instructions were issued at the highest level, so they immediately followed them.

About an hour later, dozens of armed patrol boats surrounded the entire headquarters. Afterwards, the patriarch of the Tag family, Baron Tag - Sanya Tag, led more than 100 fully armed elite soldiers into the headquarters.

"Olman Tag! That's enough! If you continue like this, you will only lead the family to destruction!" Sonya Tag led the team to the top floor of the headquarters and blocked Orman Tag in his office.

Allman Tag, however, sat on the sofa leisurely, crossed his legs and looked at his angry mother, and said coldly: "Mother, before you made such a reckless move, didn't you consider the possible harm to the family? Will you not stop until the family falls into civil war?"

"Don't quibble anymore. Everything happened because of your unrealistic ambition! Today, everything will end!" Sonja Tag pointed at Orman's nose and shouted, "Catch him!"

Olman Tag stood up, stretched his muscles, and his joints made a crackling sound. Then he said, "I told you not to be so reckless, mother. This is the last time I will call you mother."

He gave a hideous smile.

Several guards under Sonja Tag immediately walked over with guns drawn. A dull voice came from under the helmet, "Put your hands up! Get down!"

"Shoot?" Orman Tag approached Sonya step by step.

"Shoot!" Sanya Tag shouted without hesitation.

Click, click, click... a series of light sounds, all the guards on the scene pulled the trigger, but it had no effect! The blaster rifles didn't even fire a single bullet! The soldiers quickly picked up their guns, and sure enough, the safety indicator light was on red.

"Who gave you the illusion that you could shoot the leader of the Tag family with the weapons produced by Tag Company?" Orman Tag sneered.

"When did you steal the authority of the weapons industry department?!" Sonia was shocked. She couldn't help but take a few steps back. She knew Orman's strength.

"You can't say that. This isn't 'stealing', but..." Allman Tag's expression gradually became ferocious, "Inheritance!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the secret doors on both sides of the office opened, and more than a dozen L8-L9 combat robots came out and fired wildly at Sanya's guards!

The unarmed guards fell down in a large number, and at this time, Allman Tag rushed over like a sharp arrow, and he pulled out a lightsaber from his waist, opened it, and with a hum, the white blade shot out. In the lightsaber was a pure Kyber crystal that had not been stained by any force.

The two lightsabers swung as fast as a windmill, and all the guards were cut in half wherever they passed! In just a few breaths, he had killed more than a dozen guards in front of him and rushed to Sonja Tag! He threw away the two lightsabers and punched Sonja in the abdomen! Bang!

Sonya Tag spat out a large mouthful of blood and was immediately pinned to the ground by Orman.

"What...what are you going to do!! Orman!" exclaimed Sonya Tag.

"Inherit your title...mother!" With a click, Orman Tag, with a ferocious look on his face, twisted Sanya's neck.

……

A few hours later, in the Imperial Center, the capital of the Galactic Empire, at the Imperial Palace.

In the dark throne room, Orman Tag fell to his knees at the feet of Emperor Palpatine and said in a loud and resonant voice: "Thanks to your majesty's blessing, I have eliminated the rebels within my clan, and the chief culprit, Sonja Tag, has been killed. From today on, the Tag family will once again devote all their hearts and souls to serving the empire! Long live the emperor!"

"Hahahahaha..." Palpatine, sitting on the throne and shrouded in darkness, let out a sinister and terrifying laugh. A pair of terrifying golden eyes appeared in the darkness. He was very satisfied at this moment, "Very good... Very good! Hahahaha! I am looking forward to your performance, Orman... Baron. Tell me about your plan..."

"The Tag family will fully cooperate with the military to implement the Dark Soldier Program as soon as possible, and the ongoing cooperation will also be intensified. In view of the financial difficulties that the DS-1 project is currently facing, the Tag family is naturally willing to help Your Majesty solve the problems." Orman Tag said.

Palpatine was also somewhat surprised. He laughed strangely and said, "This is a huge sum of money, Baron Orman."

"As a member of the empire, the Tag family should devote all its strength and loyalty to the empire!" Orman Tag hurriedly flattered.

"Ah... If other families were like the Tag family, the galaxy would have enjoyed peace long ago. The Principality of Dawn, the Trade Federation and other such scoundrels are not worth mentioning at all!" Palpatine stood up, walked up to Orman and patted him on the shoulder approvingly, "Tell me, what is your request."

Allman Tag bowed his head quickly and said, "I dare not ask for anything. I just want to help your majesty. If...if I can be closer to your majesty, I think I can provide you with more advice in the fields of business and technology. I can help your majesty manage the Galactic Empire and help you with more worries. People like Darth Vader who can only blindly spread fear but know nothing about other things will only make your majesty's work more busy..."

"Oh... hehe, so it's about this..." Palpatine laughed for a while, patted Allman Tag's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "I completely understand your feelings, Baron Allman, and I also believe that you have enough ability to do everything you promised. So, I forgive your presumption. However, I must also say that now that the empire is newly established, Darth Vader is involved in too many interests. Such potential redistribution is not yet the right time. In the future, I will consider it carefully."

Although he was rejected the second time, Palpatine's clever choice of words made Allman Tag overjoyed. He bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! The Tag family and I will do our best to serve the Empire until the last drop of blood is shed! Long live the Empire! Long live Your Majesty!!"
