The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

958. Freedom and Power

According to the original plan, Ainle-Tim should have left on the spacecraft the day after tomorrow, but just an hour ago, an urgent message came from the planet Marathal, and the Jedi Knights had already noticed their plan.

So Ainle-Tim quickly and quietly exited the parliament venue under the leadership of the bodyguards, and sneaked out through the back door.

Almost less than half an hour after he left, agents of the Republic came to the Galactic Council meeting place, and then quietly searched the meeting place without attracting the attention of other members, but returned without success.

Ainle Tim, who got the news, was even more terrified, and said to the bodyguard: "Hurry up and contact Governor Tang Xiao. I want to leave Coruscant immediately, immediately!"

More than a dozen bodyguards perform their duties, some are in charge of investigation, some are in charge of opening the way, some are in charge of personal protection, and some are in charge of spying and sniping.

Moreover, Ainle-Tim has been in the political arena of Coruscant for many years, so he naturally has all-hands-on skills, and a large amount of information was quickly collected.

"Your Excellency, there are already three teams of security forces coming towards us, and they are trying to block the air routes in this area." A bodyguard said.

"There are two plainclothes here... It's resolved." Another bodyguard said in the communication.

In fact, don't look at the naive appearance of the Gran people, but in fact they have one of the best eyesight among the races in the entire galaxy. The three eyes on their foreheads have a very wide field of vision and are very sensitive to light. They can even see infrared rays directly!

Therefore, Gran people are also one of the few intelligent creatures that evolved from pure herbivorous creatures, relying on their sky-defying eyesight.

Therefore, a well-trained Granite warrior who has experienced many battles is actually very scary, because their vision has almost no blind spots, and they can see very fine things. Although for the generally docile Gran people, such fighters are not easy to train.

At this time, the bodyguard in charge of communication came over and said in a low voice: "The roads leading to the spaceport and the upper floors are basically blocked... Just now Schiff Palpatine has publicly announced in the parliament that the Maratha The betrayal of Planet Er."

"Betrayal!" Ainle-Tim waved his fist fiercely, "Palpatine actually has the face to say the word betrayal in front of me! Every time, every time! He is betraying me! Betraying us Gran people!"

"Intelligence personnel from Planet Dawn have come here. It is said that the codename is 007. Our meeting place is on the 51st floor of Coruscant," said the bodyguard.

"Do you want to continue?" Ainle Tim's face darkened.

As powerful and noble as he is, he has never set foot below the fifth floor of Coruscant. To him, those places are all unsightly slums.

"This is the only way. And we, as the Granites, are already too conspicuous now. The intelligence personnel of Planet Dawn are human, and they are more convenient to hide." The bodyguard said, "If necessary, we would rather all rush to follow up The defenders of the Republic will fight hard, and they will send you out."

Ainle-Tim nodded, followed the instructions of the bodyguard and took off his fine clothes, and then put them on for another bodyguard. He himself wore a thick and concealed robe, quietly left, and boarded a hovering vehicle.

At the same time, the bodyguard wearing his clothes headed in another direction together with the other two bodyguards.

A moment later, there was a burst of gunshots and explosions in the direction the bodyguards were heading, and many security forces and intelligence personnel on flying motorcycles were seen gathering in that direction.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ainle Tim quickly left here under the escort of bodyguards and fled towards the lower floor.

Arriving at the predetermined location, a Gran bodyguard who was guarding the outside suddenly heard a voice behind him whispering: "Listen, don't walk around... the whole of Coruscant is arresting you now. Your parliamentarians have too much influence , Palpatine has made great determination."

The bodyguard was shocked and shocked!

You know he's from Granville! How could someone approach quietly behind a experienced Gran bodyguard!

"Okay, don't touch the tentacles of your forehead, your security is very good, I can only get close to you at the outermost edge." The voice said again, "You can call me James Bond, code name 007 , the person who came to connect with Dawn Star. Next, I suggest that our team take over the protection and transfer work of Mr. Congressman. There are too many and too concentrated of you Granites, and the goal will be too big."

The Gran bodyguard asked back: "How do you prove your identity?"

"There is no way to prove it. The communication I gave you before is the only thing. Now the hyperspace communication has been completely cut off, and it is impossible for me to carry items to prove my identity. Therefore, it is up to you whether you believe it or not." James- said Bond.

The bodyguard discussed with his colleagues in the communication channel, and asked Ainle-Tim himself for instructions, then shook his head and said: "No, we can't completely trust you. Therefore, we will continue to protect Mr. Congressman around. But we will also act on your instructions."

James Bond sighed softly, "This is a very bad decision, but we also guess that most of you will not agree. Well, there is a garbage disposal station on the 1002nd floor underground, and there will be a garbage disposal ship over there. The spacecraft will take off tomorrow afternoon. This is the safest way we can find."

"Run from the 51st floor to the 1002nd floor in one day? Are you kidding me?" the bodyguard snorted.

"This is the only relatively safe way at present... If you really don't agree, there is nothing we can do. We will also do our best to protect it." James Bond said in a deep voice.

The bodyguard communicated with Ainle-Tim for a while, then nodded and said, "Then leave as soon as possible!"

...

"Member Ainle-Tim, he must be brought out, Your Excellency Governor, this matter is very important." Earl Dooku said seriously.

"I have sent my best intelligence agents to respond, and I hope there will be no accidents this time." Tang Xiao held a glass of wine in his hand, and his expression was also very serious, "But Schiff Palpatine first It's time to announce the arrest of Ainle-Tim in court in the parliament, and it's really rare for him to be so decisive."

"Palpatine is our great enemy, and he is decisive, it should be said that there are many." Earl Dooku shook his head, "Member Tim has a very high reputation in the parliament, we urgently need someone like him To further expand the political influence of the Federation of Independent Galaxies."

They are now in the Dining Room of the Confederation Congress on the Lassex subplanet.

"I heard that Orn Free-Ta, a member of the Ryloth planet, rejected your invitation, and then established a government-in-exile of the Twi'lek people in Coruscant?" Tang Xiao asked, changing the subject.

"His loyalty to Palpatine is very firm. In the last election of the chairman of the Galactic Council, it was Orn Free-Tower's betrayal that contributed to the collapse of the Ring faction, and Palpatine It is impossible for him to lose such a large amount of political capital, even at the price of the entire race of the Twi'lek." Count Dooku said.

"If this is the case, we need Ainle-Tim even more. With him to speak out for us, it should be able to stabilize the recent declining government approval rating." Tang Xiao said.

Earl Dooku sneered and said, "I have to say, when we were fighting with our lives for the freedom of the people of the outer ring, and we were victorious, there were always people who would jump out and say that we shouldn't be fighting this war." , saying that the burden of war on them is too heavy... This really makes me extremely chilling."

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, "Because we are just a confederation, not even a federation."

"Oh? Then what's your opinion?" Earl Dooku turned around and asked.

"If it was an 'Independent Galaxy Empire', then these problems would not exist." Tang Xiao said casually.

Count Dooku raised his eyebrows, and then laughed, "Hahahaha! Your thoughts are highly consistent with mine, Your Excellency Governor. So I always think that in the entire confederation, only you are the one who can understand me best .But at least for now, we can only speak with caution, because you should know that there are many galaxies that just want...'freedom'."

"Freedom and power...hehe, this cup is toast to power." Tang Xiao picked up the wine glass with a smile.

Ding, he lightly touched Earl Dooku's wine glass, making a crisp sound.

Earl Dooku took a sip of his wine very elegantly, and then said: "Let's go, Your Excellency. We need to go back to the Confederation Congress. More than 300 planetary regimes headed by Onderon put forward demands for excessive war taxes. There is also a need to solve the problem... As for Congressman Ainle-Tim, just wait for good news from your intelligence agent."

...

At the same time, Coruscant, in the Jedi Temple.

Two young Jedi knights are walking out quickly. They are both human, and young and handsome, sunny and handsome. One has an oriental face, and the other has a typical western face with dark brown hair.

They were Jing Fang and Jax Pawan, who had just completed their apprentice training and were promoted to Jedi Knights.

"I didn't expect, Jing Fang, the first task after we were promoted to become Jedi Knights was to arrest that 'big shot'..." Jax Pawan said with some emotion, "You know, I was in the Seeing him on the news... such a big man is going to be arrested by us, it's a bit unreal to think about it."

That oriental Jing Fang was one of the three children who were sent to study in the Jedi Temple from Dawn Star. The other two were Luna-Meng and Luna-Huan, who were already well-known among the Jedi Order.

Jing Fang thought for a while, and said: "Since our Jedi Order is required to intervene in this matter, it means that the Ministry of Intelligence of the Republic really has nothing to do with this 'big man'. Maybe we will encounter extraordinary resistance."

"Haha, as I said, just stop all the spaceships that might leave Coruscant." Jax Pawan said carelessly.

Jing Fang shook his head, "Since he came to us, it means that conventional means are no longer effective. I think we should use the force to perceive that this 'big man' was once so powerful, there must be many people helping him."

"Eh? What big shot?" A girlish voice like a silver bell came from behind.

Jing Fang and Jax Pavan felt as if they had been shocked by an electric shock. They immediately stood upright, leaning against the wall and not daring to breathe.

"That... nothing, nothing! It's just... just today in the parliament... ah no, I saw a lot of high-ranking and important figures in the holographic news station!" Jax Pawan hurriedly explained.

Jing Fang was sweating even more, he didn't dare to move while standing aside.

I only saw two beautiful blond girls walking over, one was wearing a red dress with a single ponytail on the left side, the other was wearing a blue dress with a single ponytail on the right side, they were not dream sisters who is it?

Jax Pawan and Jing Fang are often bullied by the dream sisters in their daily training and life, and they have to make three points if they have nothing to do. You are the first and dare not beat them, and the second is extremely The little ancestor who has a high probability of being defeated is terrified.

Luna-gen, who was wearing a red dress, frowned and looked at the two of them carefully, as if trying to get some clues from their expressions, but she was disappointed in the end.

Her expression suddenly collapsed, "Oh...so boring...since the priestess publicly executed the dictator on Planet Tibrin...Master Yoda has not allowed us to go out...so boring ah……"

"This... can't be helped... After all, after all, the priestess..." Jax Pavan stammered and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

"Hey, you two are walking together, do you have any mission? How about taking me with you?" Luna Huan stared at Jax Pawan and said.

"That... that... Our mission this time is to patrol the lower floors of Coruscant... It's boring..." Jax Pawan said hastily.

Standing behind Luna-Huan, Luna-Meng took a deep look at Jax Pawan, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

But Luna-Huan didn't notice this. When she heard that it was a patrol, she felt very bored, and waved her hand, "You guys go on patrol slowly, we're going back to meditate."

After speaking, turn around and leave.

Luna-meng behind her smiled and bowed politely to the two, then left with her sister.

Only then did Jax Pawan and Jing Fang heave a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and found that each other was dripping with cold sweat, and laughed again.

"Hey, that sister just now, Luna Meng, she knows you're lying." Jing Fang said.

"My sister is okay, my sister is really a dangerous person." Jax Pawan waved his hand and said.

Jing Fang shook his head, "No, the one who is really scary should be my sister."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "Jacs Pawan! How dare you be lazy here!!" This voice was clearly Master Windu's!

The two of them were immediately out of their wits, and sure enough, they saw Master Windu standing behind them with an angry expression on his face.

"Ah, I'm sorry...I'm sorry, we'll go to the mission right away! Right away..." Jax Pawan panicked, grabbed Jing Fang and ran towards the door.

Boom! ! The two of them slammed into the wall so hard they were dizzy.

Looking again, the direction they were walking was the door, it was clearly a wall! And where is Master Windu behind him? Obviously there is no one!

"Hahahahahaha!! It's not boring anymore!" Luna-Huan's triumphant laughter came from afar.
