Chapter 1231: Sit back and wait (I’ll turn into a fat cat)

“…Then, the Trade Federation fleet was completely destroyed.”

Standing in the center of the Jedi Council, Qui-Gon Jinn's voice was low.

"Just for a moment, the Trade Federation didn't even have time to resist. I suspect they may not have even realized what happened. The entire fleet was reduced to pieces."

　　　………………”

 Hearing Qui-Gon Jinn's description, the Jedi knights present looked at each other solemnly.

"Then what?"

 “Then the mysterious fleet left, and I don’t know where it went.”

 “What did Queen Amirada say?”

“She said she had no knowledge of this. She had been waiting for the committee’s mediation, and the Trade Federation had completely cut off communications on the planet Naboo, and it was impossible for her to contact other forces.”

 …“Let’s look at the image again.”

Following the words of one of the Jedi Knights, the previous images soon reappeared in the void, including the Trade Alliance fleet that blocked the planet Naboo, the Mysterious Fleet that appeared later, and the ones that appeared on the public channel. That voice.

“You despicable alien bastards, you dare to threaten humanity, it’s unwise! In the name of the Inquisition, I hereby declare that any alien race that poses a threat to humanity will be completely eliminated - the entire ship opens fire!”

  Immediately afterwards, everything in front of him was shrouded in gunfire, and then the image was paused.

 “Inquisition.”

 A bald black Jedi warrior frowned and thought for a moment.

 “I’ve never heard of that name.”

"I do not have either."

Sitting next to the black man, a stooped green-skinned dwarf shook his head, and then narrowed his eyes.

"But, this reminds me of something that happened a long time ago... Do you remember the Goddess Guards?"

"…………certainly."

 Hearing this, the Jedi Knights all looked solemn.

Since the founding of the Galactic Republic, there have been several crises, and the most serious crisis was the Jihad of the Female Guards. Originally this was a religious belief, and the believers were basically humans. They believed in a goddess and followed anthropocentrism. After that, a family that believed in the goddess ascended to the position of president of the Galactic Parliament. In the next thousand years, they almost turned the Galactic Republic into a human-centered republic that combined religion and political power. Theocratic dynasty.

During this period, the Goddess Guards used various means to eliminate dissidents, especially those alien races, who were either suppressed by them, or they found various reasons to send troops to conquer or eliminate them. During that time, the relationship between humans and alien races could be said to be extremely bad.

Eventually, the Jedi Order at that time, together with the Republic Navy, launched a coup, overthrowing this rule that lasted for thousands of years, and the Jedi Master at the time served as the Speaker of the Senate. Just like this, another thousand years passed before the relationship between humans and alien races gradually recovered, and the Jedi Order once again returned the position of Speaker and returned to their posts.

“Master Yoda, do you think that this mysterious fleet comes from the Goddess Guards?”

"Probably."

The green dwarf nodded, but he was not sure enough.

“I am just guessing this, but it may not be correct. After all, the approaches of the two sides seem to be different..."

The Goddess Guards believe in anthropocentrism and insist that humans must rule and lead other races of the Galactic Republic.

 But this Inquisition... seems to be more radical.

 “This matter must be investigated secretly.”

Thinking of this, the green dwarf also spoke.

“It must not be spread to avoid causing panic.”

Hearing what the green-skinned dwarf said, the others nodded, and then they looked at Qui-Gon Jinn again.

"Then, Master Qui-Gon Jinn, I would like to trouble you and your apprentice to continue investigating this matter. You must find out the origin of this mysterious fleet, and...what exactly are they going to do!"

"yes."

Qui-Gon Jinn nodded, but soon, he looked at everyone seriously again.

"But, I think, we have to be careful, the other side... is very powerful."

 “Powerful?”

"Yes."

As he spoke, Qui-Gon Jin stretched out his hand and held it on his chest, his expression solemn. Just recalling the feeling at that time made him breathless.

"When this fleet appeared, I could feel an unparalleled powerful force, burning like a flame. It swallowed up almost everything around it and turned everything into dust. It was so terrifying, full of destruction and This is the first time I have felt the force of death. No matter who is there, I think they will become our Jedi Knights’ formidable enemies.”

　　　…………”

　Hearing Qui-Gon Jinn's words, the green dwarf and the black man looked at each other, and their expressions became more solemn.

It seems that this matter may be far more difficult than they imagined. Just when the Jedi Council started taking action on this matter, Duanmu Huai, the instigator... well, he was lying on the sofa fishing for fish.

 “What are we going to do now? Mr. Duanmu?”

 “We don’t have to do anything.”

Facing Mary’s question, Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

 “Just find a place and wait for someone to take the bait.”

 “Waiting for someone to take the bait?”

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Naruse Mio was somewhat confused.

“Didn’t we say that we are here to destroy those aliens? Why are we still waiting for others to take the bait?”

 “Hey, you don’t understand this.”

At this time, An also smiled, stood up, and spoke to everyone.

"According to the investigation results of Miss Ecote and Miss Lumière, there are hundreds of alien races in this star field, which is much more than that of the Citadel Council! Indeed, we can one by one Come, but the question is when will this continue?”

 “Hundreds of races? So many…”

Hearing An's answer, Maria, who was sitting next to Naruse Mio, also widened her eyes in surprise. Even in the demon world, there don't seem to be so many races.

"That's right, so if we go to war head-on, even if we can win, it will consume a lot of time and energy. Therefore, I think it is the best thing to wait and wait, so I suggest Mr. Knight do this."

 “But which rabbit are we waiting for?”

Zhen Ji Ling asked curiously.

"It's very simple. There are also humans in this star field, and since there are so many races in this star field, it means that humans will definitely be threatened by other races. Then among them, there must be members of the radical faction. Before, they might have There is nothing they can do, but our appearance has brought a variable to them. I think once those humans learn of our existence, they will definitely try their best to contact us. By then, the problem will be easily solved. "

“So, Miss An, you mean to leave it to the people in this star field to solve the problem?”

Mary also understood, and Ann nodded.

"Yes, that's it. After all, we are outsiders and unfamiliar with the place. But equally, as outsiders, we are tantamount to variables that suddenly appear in this star field, and we also unequivocally support humanity. Against other races. In this case, I think there will be some changes within the other party, and then we can use the other party's hand to get involved. "

 “But…what if I am taken advantage of?”

Gulea was a little worried about this.

 “If you are being used, then you will be used.”

Duanmuhuai touched the little head of Ogis in his arms and yawned.

“It will depend on who takes advantage of whom. I don’t believe it. With the little ability of this civilization, it can still trick the Inquisition?”

Duanmu Huai sneered at this. Regarding the strength of the Galactic Republic, he had also read the information obtained by Lumière's intrusion into the other party's network. To put it simply, the weapons and equipment of this Galactic Republic are simply a pile of scrap metal. Their standard weapon is actually a flashlight... This thing can't hit myself and others without breaking the defense at all, right?

 As for the Jedi knight who blows the air, he’s not that great. Duanmu Huai took a look and found that these Jedi warriors just took a lightsaber and looked cool. There was nothing particularly powerful about them at all. What made him even more speechless was that none of these Jedi warriors wore armor, but no armor!

It’s really asking for death.

Although that lightsaber seems to be able to reflect laser attacks, if I blast it with a bomb, you will die how you want? If you don't even wear armor, then I'll smash you and you'll turn into a piece of meat.

This is the Guardian of the Galactic Republic. What a glass cannon. It's so weak that you can't even see it. Have you never fought a serious battle in this star field? Why does it feel like playing house... This Jedi warrior is average speed, not strong, and has no protection. He can break the defense with a casual hit, even with a pistol. It can kill you.

 How can this alone protect the Galactic Republic for thousands of years?

Then it looks like there are a bunch of noobs pecking each other here.

“But even if someone wants to contact us, how can they contact us? Mr. Duanmu, did you leave your phone number for them?”

Mary complained silently, and at this moment, as if to answer her complaint, Aikote walked in.

“Uncle, we have found a suitable planet.”

"oh?"

Duanmuhuai opened his eyes and sat upright.

 “Where?”

“Tatooine, this is a border desert planet and a place where many fugitives from the Galactic Republic live in exile. It is not under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Parliament and is rarely monitored.”

 “Just go there.”

 Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision.

 “Let’s just go there and see if any rabbits bump into us!”

"yes!"
