Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 761: Determination

"I order you to destroy the Plague!"

Darth Sidious's voice was eerie, terrifying, and twisted. As always, it implanted terrible fear into Nute Gunray's heart, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

However, he didn't know why, but another figure always appears in Nute Gunray's mind now, which is Darker, more terrifying, and...

Even closer!

In Nute Gunray's view, if Darth Sidious is a Terrifying Spider that spreads its web across the entire Galaxy, then Darth Malthael is a Silent Cheetah.

And this Cheetah has come behind him!!

Darth Malthael's Powerful and Dark Figure began to overlap with Tang Xiao's expression which always wore a warm smile.

He began to recall every chat and laugh he had with Tang Xiao in the past when they were discussing cooperation on Dawn, when they toasted to celebrate independence on Geonosis, and when they decided on major issues together in the Senate of Raxus...

Unknowingly, in those beautiful memories, Tang Xiao's humble appearance was replaced by Darth Malthael's eerie appearance.

This feeling made him shudder...

He has been behind me for a long time, and he will continue to be behind me for the foreseeable future.

He will kill me! Anytime is fine!!

Nute Gunray's impression of Tang Xiao has always been that of a young, good-tempered ally who would even stand firmly on the side of the Trade Federation in many cases.

In fact, there is no shortage of such people for such a terrifying size of the Trade Federation, but with the gradual development of Dawn, Nute Gunray also discovered that what Tang Xiao had in his hands, even if it was not as good as the Trade Federation, was still true that he had the capital to be able to talk to him on an equal footing.

A complete Military Industrial System, the ability to Independently Design and Manufacture Large Warships, many of these things are beyond the reach of even the Trade Federation itself.

Later, when Tang Xiao was on Geonosis, he began to mention something about the Sith Lords, intentionally or unintentionally, and when Count Dooku brought up Darth Sidious, he discovered that Tang Xiao Xiao seemed to know this person too.

So at that time, Nute Gunray regarded Tang Xiao as someone who was coerced and oppressed by Darth Sidious and had to board the pirate ship just like him. As a result, his affection for Tang Xiao increased a lot due to the mutual sympathy.

So later, he also instructed the Trade Federation to gradually deepen cooperation with Dawn, and the two parties signed orders for many large-scale projects.

But only now did he understand that Tang Xiao was not coerced by others. The reason why he knew this was because he was the Sith Lord himself!!!

Yes, compared with Darth Malthael, the threat of Darth Sidious seems to be much smaller.

Nute Gunray gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, "Sir, this may lead to serious consequences. After the Super Battleship Malevolence was destroyed previously, the Plague has become the Star of the Separatist Forces! Public opinion reports on the situation of the Plague almost every day. If the Plague is destroyed because of me, then..."

"Coward!!" Darth Sidious yelled angrily, "Have you forgotten our plan? What I want is this Republic, this Galaxy! Not a simple Civil War! As long as you destroy the Plague, my position will be more stable and I will naturally give you more help! Only after you finally destroy the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order will you have enough merit to become the Hero who ended the War."

Darth Sidious stretched out a Mechanical Hand and squeezed it tightly.

This action made Nute Gunray's heart skip a beat. He did remember that it seemed that the Supreme Chancellor of the Galaxy Senate, Sheev Palpatine, had been wearing a glove on his left hand since ten years ago.

However, at this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts like 'Sure enough, what Darth Malthael said turned out to be right!'

'Sidious doesn't care about the outcome of this War at all, because he is always the winner!'

"In this case, even if we stand still, Count Dooku will not let me go if the Battle Situation here is reported back to Raxus... Sir, this is different from the plan we agreed on..." Nute Gunray said.

"Don't worry, Count Dooku... won't do anything to you. You also know that he is my Apprentice." Darth Sidious said with a ferocious expression: "Do it now! Destroy it! Then we are one step closer to the success of our plan."

"Yes...yes..." After all, Nute Gunray did not dare to disobey Darth Sidious in person, so he reluctantly agreed. Then he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly cut off the Hyperspace Communication.

He didn't realize that his behavior was tantamount to hanging up the phone on his direct Boss.

He calmed down for a while and then looked at the Battlefield Hologram sent from Cato Neimoidia.

He only saw the Huge Titan Battleship Plague charging forward at high speed, and the Battleships of the Republic's 7th Squadron were besieging it. Among them, the greatest threat was the Largest Warships the 8,000-Meter Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught, 4000-Meter Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser and 2,500-Meter Procurator-class Star Battlecruiser.

Nute Gunray gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, picked up the Subspace Transceiver with fiery eyes filled with determination and shouted loudly: "Torkz! Let your Fleet set off immediately! Reach the Titan Battleship Plague!"

A Short Neimoidian wearing Glasses appeared in the Holographic Projection. He immediately responded: "Yes, Viceroy!"

Following his order, the Defenders of Cato Neimoidia finally took action!

The Warships, which were always in a state of Combat Readiness, opened fire almost immediately, firing a salvo directly at the rear of the 7th Squadron of the Republic!

The 7th Squadron was originally on guard against the Planet's Defenders, but with their Flagship destroyed, all attention was focused on the Plague. Now even if there are Battleships still on alert, they are no longer paying attention to these Defenders who have not dared to take any action since the War began.

A Salvo directly destroyed five Corellian DP-20 Gunships, and an Arquitens-class Light Cruiser suffered heavy damage.

Immediately afterwards, the Trade Federation Defenders Fleet rushed forward and launched a second Salvo against the two Mandator-class Star Dreadnaughts of the 7th Squadron!

Under this Battle Formation, the 30 Munificent-class Frigates among the Trade Federation Defenders were finally able to exert their only Powerful-Frontal Firepower.

Dozens of Powerful Turbolasers landed on the two Mandator-class Star Dreadnaughts, causing the Battleships Deflector Shields to flash violently.

The Republic Fleet that was attacked immediately began to adjust its Battle Formation. Some Warships continued to besiege the Plague, while others began to turn around and intercept the Trade Federation Fleet.

But the result of trying to take care of both ends is that neither end can be suppressed.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Sev'rance Tann pointed at the second Flagship of the 7th Squadron and roared, "Railgun fire!!"

An Extremely Dazzling Flash of Light bloomed instantly, and at the same time, the side of the new Flagship of the 7th Squadron was hit directly by the Plague's Hypermatter Railgun!
