In the Battle of Geonosis, although the small battleship formation led by Nova successfully raided and annihilated all the 'armed merchant ships' of the Trade Federation in the orbit of the planet Geonosis, the facts proved that they were nothing more than the Trade Federation. They are only part of the transport fleet responsible for transporting B1 combat robots. They also have more battleships and countless armies of cheap robots!
Because, even in the Battle of Geonosis, the Federation of Heroes fleet belonging to the Galactic Republic won a complete victory, but as time went by, more galaxies still fell...
The Hero Federation Fleet, which claims to have thousands of battleships, is a newly formed one, with those terrifying battleships as the main body, mixed with many warships and armies of other races, and the extremely cheap, as long as you have money, you can Compared with the B1 battle robots that can be mass-produced, they are still slightly inadequate. Therefore, they cannot completely defend the territory of the huge Galactic Republic, which is becoming increasingly chaotic!
Anyway, after suffering a loss, the Federation of Independent Systems began to become cunning. They played guerrilla warfare tactics with the Parliament, and relied on their numerical advantage to attack and dominate the star system, so that in a short period of time, they actually The "Great Republic" was a little overwhelmed and had to focus on defending the core galaxy, and then allowed the rebels to wreak havoc and grow in the outer galaxies.
"Everyone..."
"The cruel facts have proven that to us. The Federation of Independent Systems is not easily defeated by us. The Trade Federation alone is said to have hundreds of thousands of large and small warships... and we were defeated. Just a few hundred ships?”
"..."
On the high tower of the Jedi Council, Senator Palpatine, who was having a meeting here, stopped for a moment after he said this. While thinking about what he was going to say next, he began to raise his eyes and scan the people present. The woman he was afraid of was Nova, the Supreme Speaker of the Parliament, Finis Valorum, Master Yoda, Master Windu of the Jedi Council, and some important members of the meeting.
"As far as I know, the former Jedi Master Count Dooku gained huge power and incredible wealth after inheriting the title of Count Serenno..."
"If you add in his main minions, the splintered parliamentarians from the commercial guilds, trade alliances, interstellar banking groups, technology alliances, etc., they can be said to be a group of people with huge wealth, far away More than the Republic’s chaebol group!”
"thus……"
"I hereby implore everyone here to please carefully consider the previous motion proposed in the Parliament: We need to establish a new Republican Army to better deal with the growing power of the Federation of Independent Systems. Threat?"
After saying this, Senator Palpatine breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly, waiting for other people's opinions.
Yes, they are here now to discuss the plan to jointly take the lead with the Jedi Order and form a new 'Second Republic', which is an army that belongs entirely to the Galactic Republic! Instead of the so-called 'grand republican government' that has nothing to do with parliament and is deployed by a certain country to serve as temporary peacekeeping tasks due to helplessness and emergency situations like before?
'I completely agree with Councilor Palpatine's suggestion that the evil deeds of the Federation of Independent Systems must be dealt with and stopped effectively in a timely manner! ! '
'That's right! The establishment of the Second Republic is imminent and we cannot wait any longer! '
'More than 10,000 galaxies have declared independence and joined the Federation of Independent Galaxies and become one of them. If we don't take any more actions, I believe that more galaxies will declare to join them soon...'
'Although the Grand Republic of the Federation of Heroes is very powerful, when they attack and recover planets and galaxies one by one, more planets have fallen. If this continues, things will inevitably evolve to make us all Unbearable! '
'They must be stopped! ! '
'Although the Milky Way has more than 200 billion stars, at least more than 100 billion galaxies and countless billions of planets, there are not many suitable for life. But now the rebels have occupied more than 10,000 galaxies. Occupying nearly one-third of the Republic's habitable galaxies, it must not continue like this! '
'well……'
The several centrist legislators from different races present spoke one after another, clearly expressing their strong support for Senator Palpatine's proposal and their eager hope or desire to urge the parliament and The Jedi Order formed the 'Second Republic' as soon as possible in order to curb the expansion of the Federation of Independent Systems.
'...'
'...'
Master Yoda and Master Windu looked at each other wordlessly, but said nothing, expressing neither agreement nor objection.
However, anyone can see that these two masters and elders of the Jedi Order are already interested in something! Perhaps it was because the Geonosis raid had such a profound impact on them, the Jedi Knights, that they understood that the words of the Jedi Knights alone might not be able to meet the important needs of fighting the enemy and maintaining the stability of the galaxy?
Come to think of it, at that time they organized more than two hundred Jedi Knights to launch a surprise attack on Count Dooku's headquarters, and there were many powerful masters among them! But in the end, despite heavy casualties, they failed shamefully and were captured alive by a group of robots, and almost died in humiliation in the Geonosian underground cell...
They still have fresh memories of what happened at that time, so they don't have many reasons to oppose Senator Palpatine's reasonable suggestions.
"snort!"
"No matter how many troops there are, what can we do? Those people in the Federation of Independent Systems... may be able to make money, but will they be able to fight?!"
At this time,
Nova, who had not spoken until now, first looked at the Supreme Speaker who was frowning and making a hesitant gesture, and then snorted coldly, sarcastically addressing those members of Parliament who had ulterior motives and wanted to take away the power of the parliament and obtain military power. One sentence.
She could see that those guys had been won over by Palpatine, and they seemed to want to gain a certain right to speak in the parliament and the republic in order to resist Nova and the scoundrels she controlled from doing anything to the country. The kind of control that is getting stronger and stronger?
"but……"
"Congressman Nova, we have to admit that when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can indeed cause qualitative changes!"
"Otherwise, the Jedi Masters would not have suffered a disastrous defeat on the planet Geonosis, and your fleet would not be exhausted trying to attack the robots of the Federation of Independent Systems..."
Councilor Palpatine immediately refuted Nova's words and glanced at two Jedi masters whose faces were a little dark and seemed extremely embarrassed.
"snort!"
Nova snorted coldly and said nothing more.
She would not tell the ambitious Senator Palpatine in front of her that the reason why she allowed those guys from the Federation of Independent Systems to develop was because of her intention! Of course, although the other party's development momentum was somewhat beyond her imagination, she didn't care too much?
Because, behind her is the entire Keprulu sector and the huge forces represented by the sector! If she really loses it in the end, the worst she can do is bring in the swarm army, or she might even go to the Mass Effect world and bring over a small part of the Reaper army, which has harvested the galaxy for countless reincarnations and is extremely experienced in wiping out civilization. , it is definitely more than enough!
You know, if you want to destroy the entire galaxy or defeat the resistance in the galaxy, you have to harvest millions of years of professional harvest. In the galaxy, every 50,000 years of reincarnation will cut off countless advanced evolved intelligent life forms like leeks. Another batch of 'reapers', even their own creators have been harvested by them, but even their heroic federation is frightened!
but……
After thinking about it for a while, Nova suddenly closed her mouth and didn't know what to think of. She didn't say any more about it.
"so……"
"Dear representatives, congressmen, and masters of the Jedi Council, we need more troops. The establishment of the Second Republic is imminent. We cannot hesitate any longer."
Seeing that the most difficult Councilor Nova did not speak out forcefully or object, Palpatine hurriedly took advantage of the victory and stood up to speak again and pleaded.
'...'
'...'
Master Yoda and Master Windu still didn't speak, they just pondered silently in their positions, still looking like they neither agreed nor opposed.
'Your Excellency, Senator Palpatine! '
'Excuse me, if the Second Republic is to be established, how should the problems of military expenditures, ships, equipment and soldiers be solved? '
'Especially soldiers! '
'Training an army is a very complicated matter, and it takes a long time... Compared with the robot army of the Federation of Independent Systems, our newly formed army may not be those who absolutely obey orders and obey orders in a short period of time. Opponents of battle robots who are never afraid of death? '
At this time, seeing that none of the congressmen and representatives present seemed to be particularly opposed, a Crooked Star representative with a pimple on his head quickly stood up and asked about the biggest difficulties that might be faced in forming an army.
Because everyone knows that recruiting and training an army takes time, and the robots of the Federation of Independent Systems only need energy and steel. That kind of thing is everywhere in the entire galaxy, and they can easily deploy it everywhere Building factories and sending out troops on a scale of millions or even tens of millions every day is something that their republic cannot match.
"Of course there is a way!"
After seeing that the entrustment he arranged finally worked, Senator Palpatine walked to the middle of the Jedi Council meeting room with a smile and began to slowly introduce it.
"Let's not talk about the fleet, ordnance and military expenditures for now. As everyone knows, we have obtained a large amount of funds after sanctioning the Trade Alliance..."
"So, let's talk about the soldier's problem first, right?"
"And after my investigation, by an unexpected opportunity, I was surprised to find that on the Republic's star map, a planet had been deliberately erased from the Jedi Archives!"
Having said this, Palpatine looked at Master Yoda and Master Windu. After seeing the serious surprise on their faces, he continued to explain:
"Everyone here may not know..."
"That lost planet, it's called Camillo..."
"And a very foresighted Jedi Knight in our Jedi Order. He prepared a group of troops, a group of powerful troops, for our great Galactic Republic a long time ago on the planet called Camilo. , an army that is more practical than combat robots!!"
"Master Yoda and Windu will probably remember his name?"
Saying,
Senator Palpatine, who was smiling, told the story about the Jedi Master Siver Dias, who had unilaterally requested the Prime Minister of Kamino, Rama, without the authorization of the Galactic Parliament and the Jedi Council. Su slowly spoke about creating a clone army for the Republic...

"??"
Anakin was wandering around the Jedi Temple boredly, watching the Jedi apprentices training, but he had to watch because he had not yet been officially recognized by the Jedi Council. When I was in the cafeteria, I suddenly saw a very familiar, beautiful little girl with blond hair and blue eyes hiding in the corner eating sweets?
"Is it you, Head of State Anne? Why are you here? Didn't you go to a meeting?"
Therefore, out of curiosity and the fact that his mentor Qui-Gon Jinn had not arranged a training task for him, he walked directly to the other party and asked in confusion.
"snort!"
o(′^｀)o
“People don’t like meetings!!”
(￣～￣)Chew!
Yes, in Little Annie's opinion, it's even worse to sit in rows with those bad old men and waste time talking nonsense about trivial matters for ten days and a half, and then go to the cafeteria to eat dessert by yourself. Fun?
Anyway, she won't hang out with those guys who are full and idle, and then spend the whole day chatting in meetings and getting paid!
"oh……"
There was a moment of silence, and Anakin didn't know what to say. After scratching his head, Anakin gritted his teeth and sat directly in front of the other person, and lay on the table, just staring at the other person blankly.
"!!"
σ(⊙w⊙`)?
"Little brat Anakin, what do you want to do? If you want to eat, go get it yourself. Everything here belongs to me, so I won't let you eat it!"
?(?ˉ?~ˉ?)o
Thinking that the other party might want to grab her own food, Annie quickly chewed the food in her mouth while reaching out to protect the delicious food on the table. Although, these things are completely free in the Jedi Temple, but if she feels that she is fully capable of destroying them, she will definitely not share them.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"..."
"Chief Anne, I noticed that you seem to be really powerful, more powerful than all the Jedi Masters combined?!"
However, Anakin didn't pay attention to the other person's food-protecting actions, but after staring at the other person's round and cute little face for a while, he said this abruptly.
"..."
(?_?)
"Don't think that if you praise someone a few times, they will give you something to eat! Let me tell you, this kind of little trick is definitely useless to others. You should give up on that idea as soon as possible!!"
?(?ˉ?ˉ)╭?
After blinking and squinting at the other person for several times, little Annie suddenly pointed at the other person and laughed at him without any politeness.
Are you kidding? How could that kind of kid trick of getting close to someone and tricking her into eating something could be used to deceive the all-powerful Anne Head of State like her?
"ah?"
"No! I don't want to eat your food..."
"I just wanted you to teach me how to fight..."
After being stunned for a while, Anakin quickly waved his hand and directly explained his purpose to the other party. Because in his opinion, the little head of state Anne in front of him, who was younger than him but very, very powerful, was indeed amazing.
If it weren't for the other party, I'm afraid he, Anakin, would have died twice! !
"Eh?"
∑(′△｀)? !
"Don't you have a mentor yourself? That old man Qui-Gon Jinn, hasn't he already started teaching you how to use the Force?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"..."
"Compared to you, the Jedi Knights don't seem to be very powerful..."
As he spoke, Anakin lay down on the table in frustration.
In the past, Anakin dreamed of becoming a pilot who could freely navigate the universe. He wanted to see the entire colorful galaxy, go on adventures, and see the kind of people living on Yego's satellite. Those 'angels' who are said to be the most beautiful creatures in the universe, look at their supposedly shiny white skin and three pairs of wings?
However, after meeting his teacher Qui-Gon Jinn and sister Queen Amidala on Tatooine, he suddenly changed his mind: he wanted to be a powerful warrior who wielded a lightsaber and saved the world. Jedi Knight!
Of course, what's more important is that he, Anakin Skywalker, wants to protect the Queen Amidala who he discovered is even more beautiful than an 'angel'...
And now, Anakin suddenly doesn't want to be a Jedi anymore!
After seeing some things, he changed his mind and wanted to learn the skills of the more powerful 'ghosts' from the powerful Head of State Anne in front of him? He has already noticed that his mentor, Teacher Qui-Gon Jinn, does not seem to be that powerful, because, ah, the other party has been captured alive by the enemy twice! The same goes for the other Jedi Knights. There were more than two hundred Jedi Knights, but only a hundred or so were killed by the robots. Even Master Windu, who was said to be the most powerful among them, was captured alive and almost died. Shot in jail?
And if the leader Anne in front of them had not appeared in time and saved them, I am afraid that Anakin would not have been able to see the huge red sun rising from the planet Coruscant today.
Therefore, he felt that in comparison, the Head of State Anne in front of him was more powerful! And if I could learn some useful skills from this little head of state, it would definitely be better than just learning how to use the Force from Master Qui-Gon Jinn?
"ha!"
(*^▽^*)
"You're right, those Jedi Knights are a bunch of heartless guys! You can indeed become stronger by learning the Force from them, but you must not be as stupid as them and really think you can have some supernatural power. He is invincible in the world!"
(灁owo灁)
Little Annie has always been very disdainful towards those guys who could have changed their profession to become mages, but ended up becoming warriors! In particular, when the opponent can obviously choose to use advanced equipment and firearms and then become more powerful, why does it still have to be pedantic and unscrupulous and only use that shabby lightsaber? Anyway, she has disliked those guys for a long time!
"Your Excellency, Head of State Anne, can't you really teach me some skills? Even just a little bit?"
Anakin looked at the other person's current expression and seemed to think that the other person was in a good mood. He thought about it and then begged again.
"..."
(lll￢w￢)
"Why do you have to learn from me? Can't you slowly learn from that old man Qui-Gon Jinn? I think he is quite powerful. As long as you don't imitate them and only bring a lightsaber when you go out, there will be no problem at all!"
(▽)
There is no doubt that in Anne's opinion, the Jedi Knights are actually very powerful. Just their ability to wield a lightsaber to split beams or reflect beams is definitely better than most of the ghost agents she knows! And if the opponent wears the same equipment as the ghost agents, and then applies the bullet-cleaving accuracy to the firearm, it will definitely be very powerful!
After all, after the other party's physical fitness was developed and transformed by the Force, it has gradually become extraordinary.
"because……"
"I want to save my mother as soon as possible..."
As he spoke, Anakin lowered his head and bit his lip tightly.
Practicing Jedi courses can undoubtedly achieve his goal, but in comparison, the time is still a little too long. This is something he can't bear, and it also makes him often dream of that kind face in his dreams. ... Even if his master and teacher wanted him to forget about Tatooine more than once and let him devote himself to training wholeheartedly!
"ah?"
|?˙?˙)?
"Your mother? Where is she now?"
(??)
"Tatooine..."
"..."
"Then why did you save her? Was she caught by some bad guys?"
(.?v?v?.)
Little Annie suddenly felt that if things were not too troublesome, maybe she would be able to help the other party?
"Because she is a slave..."
"At that time, when we left Tatooine, we were not able to take her away..."
Immediately afterwards, Anakin slowly told what happened when Mentor Qui-Gon Jinn and Queen Amidala went to Tatooine to repair the Naboo Royal Starship, and of course, they The owner, the greedy thrift store owner Watto.
"So this is ah……"
|??w?`)
"Although I want to teach you, you are still a little too stupid. By the time you learn their skills, your mother will be almost dead!!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"How about this? I'll lend you some money and some credit, and you can buy her back? And you don't have to pay it back!!"
o(?w?)o
After thinking about it, little Annie tentatively suggested.
Anyway, she has a lot of credit points in the Galactic Republic, so she can lend them hundreds or tens of millions without any problem! You can have as much as you want, you can borrow it without having to pay it back, she won't mind anyway! After all, compared to other methods, directly lending money to the other party to buy the other party's mother back is the simplest solution.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"Credit points cannot be circulated on Tatooine. Those people do not accept credit points..."
"Besides, that old Watto is very cunning. He will definitely not sell my mother back to me easily. I can't beat him..."
Anakin shook his head in frustration. Teacher Qui-Gon Jinn and Queen Amidala had tried it before, but the cunning guy just wouldn't sell it, and they couldn't force it, otherwise they would have the kind of connection in their slaves' bodies. The explosive device that he can't find will definitely explode!
"There are still people who don't like money?"
(*￣△￣*)
Little Annie expressed a little surprise, because in her opinion, most of the people she met were the ones who really liked money! As long as she has enough money, she can buy any delicious food, even the heavenly flat peaches from another world?
Thinking of the flat peach, little Annie couldn't help drooling. However, in the presence of the little kid in front of her, she would definitely not take it out because the relationship between him and her was not good enough for her to do so. The extent of sharing.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
(Did you really buy it? Tibbers expressed doubts about this...)
"Well……"
(.?v?v?.)
"Let's do this! It's definitely not possible to teach you abilities, and the fleet doesn't really want to lend you this idiot... But I can barely give you an interesting little thing. As long as you take care of it, it's guaranteed to be fine. You can fulfill all your wishes, such as becoming stronger or fighting back to Tatooine, or protecting your little sister Queen Amidala who likes to peek all day!"
Little Annie first looked around mischievously, and after realizing that no one was paying attention to her side, she quickly took out a cylindrical glass bottle from her bag, and then stuffed it into the other person's hand.
Inside the cylindrical glass bottle was a disgusting little insect that was not very big and had a hard shell, but it seemed motionless now. As for when she caught it and hid it, I'm afraid even Anne herself can't remember that kind of thing... Anyway, there are a lot of messy things in her space bag.
"!?"
"A...dead specimen of a bug?"
After staring at the glass bottle for several times, Anakin suddenly felt that the Anne leader in front of him was teasing him?
"..."
Therefore, the look of expectation on his face soon turned into frustration again.
"It's not dead! And it's not an ordinary bug either!!"
s (??vev??)ゞ
"Let me tell you quietly, its name is Larva! But it is still dormant now. I will help you activate it later. As long as you take good care of it, I guarantee that you will have whatever you want in the future!!"
(?-)?
The larvae can hatch into worker bees, and the worker bees can become hatcheries. Once the hatcheries are created, the next step becomes very simple.
Whether it's strengthening one's body, or leading an army of Zerg to save people on Tatooine, isn't it just like playing? Moreover, it can be said that it is the result of the other party's own efforts and has nothing to do with her, the Head of State Anne?
"Really?"
Looking at the strange thing in his hand, Anakin still couldn't believe it.
"If I lie to you, I'll make you look like a little bear!"
(?`▽′?)?
Suddenly, little Annie picked up her bad little bear, Tibbers, and then grabbed his head and twisted it hard!
Click!
(!!)
σ(?)? ? ?
"..."
"But, I don't know how to keep bugs. I have never kept a pet..."
Anakin shook his head with regret. He still felt that the head of state Anne in front of him must have lied to him. He was not as stupid as the other party thought!
"Do not worry!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
"It eats everything, and even looks for food by itself. It's very easy to raise!"
(*?′╰╯`?)?
"..."
"You really didn't lie to me?"
Anakin was still a little hesitant, always feeling that it was not very reliable...
"That's it! Remember to take good care of it!!"
(?￣?￣?) Hey!
After saying that, Annie, who didn't want to talk anymore with the little kid in front of her who dared to question her, stood up, turned around and left while carrying her little bear.
As for the bugs, she didn't pay much attention to them. Anyway, they definitely wouldn't be able to raise them on a large scale within three or two years! And after three or two years, she would have left her to wander in another world, so who would care about what this world would become?
Besides, it doesn't matter if she raises a group of bugs, aren't they still her subordinates? Maybe, when the time comes, Nova and the others will be grateful to him for conjuring a new army for them? !
"etc……"
"feed me……"
Anakin wanted to say that he didn't want it, but before he finished speaking, he could still see the shadow of the other party? The little girl jumped up and down and ran somewhere without paying any attention to his opinion.
"..."
"Well……"
He came closer to the glass bottle and looked at the small one in the bottle, which was only about the thickness of two fingers. It looked ferocious and ugly, with many green compound eyes and a terrifying, large-mouthed insect. When he saw the other person, he seemed It was really not a specimen, but a living thing. After even turning his head slightly to look at himself, Anakin sighed helplessly.
"Woo!"
"Really, how could this happen..."
Anakin remembered that just now he clearly wanted to learn some fighting skills from the other party, but now...
There was no way, after all, this little bug was a gift given to him by the other party. Although he felt that the other party must have lied to him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might be a bit bad to throw it away, so he could only grit his teeth and plan to put it away. Can you take it back and keep it well for a while?
If you really don’t think it’s fun or easy to raise, you can just release them when the time comes…
'! ! '
'Anakin, what are you doing over there? '
Suddenly, before Anakin could think more, a familiar voice in the distance called to him.
"!!"
"Ah? Obi-Wan? I was just here talking to the Head of State Anne, what do you want?"
When he realized that it was his senior brother coming over, Anakin quickly jumped out of his chair.
'The teacher is looking for you...'
'Well? What is that in your hand? '
"!!"
"Ah! It's nothing. This is the pet that Head of State Anne gave me just now..."
Anakin quickly hid behind himself.
'pet? '

(*?′╰╯`?)?ticket?(?′╰╯`?*)
