708. The confusing war (end of this article)
After Darth Tenebrous left, Darth Malthael raised his hand and felt the force of the dark side.
If we want to describe the force of the entire galaxy now, it would be a vast sea, full of light.
However, in the sky over this sea, there is a layer of clouds covering it, blocking the originally bright sunshine, preventing the temperature of the sun from shining into this supposedly warm sea water.
The seemingly bright sea is gradually losing its temperature.
And in the depths of the sea, there are two whirlpool undercurrents. These two undercurrents are constantly rotating and growing. Although they are crushing each other in the process, they are still using the energy of the sea itself to gradually become more violent.
The sea seems calm, but if you are not careful, you will be sucked into the whirlpool and you will never be able to extricate yourself.
Darth Tenebrous was resurrected, but not resurrected. The sea of force has not changed much. There are still only two vortexes and undercurrents. The huge one is called Sidious, and the small but firm one is called Malthael.
Destiny does not lie with Tenebrous, at least not now.
Darth Malthael understood that Tenebrous was so respectful to him after his resurrection precisely because he had seen through the destiny at that moment.
But never underestimate any Sith Lord, especially one who created a being like Darth Plagueis.
On this seabed, an extra reef has appeared. It was so dark that it was almost impossible to see any shapes on it. Although it was extremely small, it was still absorbing every tiny piece of gravel brought up by the two vortexes and undercurrents on the sea floor, and gradually grew.
In this sea of force, the wind and waves seem to be stronger under the influence of this small reef.
The Force has a will. This is something that Tenebrous has been teaching Darth Malthael for more than ten years. On this point, it is contrary to the theory of Malthael's original master Darth Plagueis. But Malthael is more inclined, and Tenebrous's description is closer to the essence of the Force.
The reason why Darth Malthael resurrected Darth Tenebrous this time was because he believed that he was ready and should proceed to the next stage of the trial.
Darth Malthael understood this after his failed attempt to assassinate Wilhuff Tarkin.
In a short time, whether it is the battle between the Fourth Civilization and the 18th Army, or Severance Tann's expedition plan, it will not end in a short time. At this time, he needs to go further.
Darth Sidious is becoming increasingly powerful, and he can sense the power of the dark side in the Force. Because he and Darth Sidious come from the same inheritance.
After arranging the recent work, and asking Francis Underwood to secretly take over the duties of the Governor, and arranging a T-850 with Tang Xiao's appearance as a stand-in, Darth Malthael took the Sith to infiltrate The Red Comet headed for an unknown star field.
Before Count Dooku really fell out with the Jedi Order, he secretly went to the Jedi Order's database and deleted the coordinates of 38 planets, and the planet Darth Malthael was about to go to was one of them. one.
Dagobah.
He wants to explore his own nature and understand the origin of all this. The planet Dagobah may give him the answer.
The Red Comet moved smoothly through the universe, hovering around the periphery of a green planet. Darth Malthael completely handed over the driving of the spacecraft to a navigation robot, and he sat in the control room of the spacecraft with his eyes closed and meditated.

"You are wrong! Stupid apprentice! You have never seen yourself clearly!" Darth Plagueis said, "Do you know why I gave you the name Darth Malthael? I don’t understand either! It’s impossible for me to have played “Diablo”, but I said this name. You have no idea what I saw in the long river of force at that time... This... is not just a name. "
"This is a name, the name of a virtual character in a virtual game. Malthael, the Angel of Death."
"When power is given this name, it is no longer virtual. It is Malthael who is virtual, not Darth Malthael." Darth Plagueis said coldly, "You Why is it called Darth Malthael?"
"What did I see?" Darth Plagueis's voice still echoed around him.
"What do I feel?" Darth Plagueis continued to ask.
"What did I teach you?" His voice was like a sharp thorn, piercing directly into Darth Malthael's soul!
Darth Maltha'il suddenly let out a painful scream, "Wahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The Red Comet emitted billowing smoke, plummeted from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and then crashed into a primitive jungle. Finally, in a violent explosion, it was completely turned into a shapeless piece of scrap metal.
…
The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant.
Supreme Strategic Headquarters of the Republic, command center.
"General, this is our recent battle plan, please take a look at it." A senior staff officer came to Master Windu and handed him a memory.
Master Windu activated the memory and carefully checked the contents. After a moment, he said: "General Grievous's recent actions on the planet Ord Mantell are worthy of attention. This is the headquarters of the 8th Army. , and now there are many strange things happening in the area under the jurisdiction of the 8th Army..."
"That's true." Jedi Master Plo-Kon standing aside said, "The fleets of the Interstellar Banking Association are concentrated on the planets Murinster and Mechito within the jurisdiction of the 8th Army, and they are sinking with the fleets of the Fourth Group. They were angry, but they did not take any special actions. On the contrary, there were five colonies on the edge of the 8th Army area that had been attacked by unknown attacks. At this time, General Grievous's actions had to make people focus on……"
He thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I will personally lead the troops to the planet Oude Mantle."
Master Windu shook his head and said, "I'll go to the planet Ord-Mantel. You still need to recover from the injuries you sustained in the battle to destroy the Fang battleship."
Plo-Kong nodded and said nothing.
Master Windu glanced at Jedi Master Depa Billaba standing on the other side, with a complicated expression, and said, "I have a combat mission for you, Master Billaba."
Depa-Bilaba just looked in another direction, a little indifferent to Master Windu, and replied lightly, "You say it. As long as it is beneficial to the victory of the war, I will naturally do it. "
Master Windu projected a piece of information from the memory that the senior staff officer had just given him on the holographic screen, and said: "Given that we have just destroyed the Separatist super battleship Venomous Fang, and the morale of the entire Republic is now at its peak, we need to Seize this precious opportunity to launch a counterattack and expand our results."
"Where to go?" Depa-Bilaba asked.
"Haruun Kal." Master Windu pointed to a location on the star map and said with a very serious expression.
"This is your hometown." Depa-Bilaba said.
Master Windu did not take up Depa-Bilaba's words, but continued: "The civil war on the planet Harunkar has lasted for 29 years. Before that, the Republic had no position to interfere in the internal affairs of this planet, but Now, the warlords on this planet have joined the separatists."
He looked at the planet on the star map that looked a little yellow from outer space, and said in a deep voice: "If I go to this planet, I may lose my position, so you are the only person I can choose. You are my former disciple, Master Depa Biraba."
Depa-Bilaba just looked at the star map expressionlessly. It was obvious that the differences between her and Master Windu were getting bigger and bigger. But at least, she has not publicly raised any objections so far.
Master Windu continued: "On the planet Harunkar, there is a unique fungus that grows very widely. This fungus has the ability to devour metal, so all mechanical equipment on this planet suffers a great loss. According to the staff Calculating, once we can seize the opportunity of the current civil war on the planet that is not over yet, expel the warlords who have joined the separatism, and reoccupy the planet Harunkar, it will be almost impossible for the separatist robot army to take back the planet."
"In order to end this war as soon as possible, I will go to the planet Harunkar." Master Depa-Biraba said calmly.
Master Windu nodded and continued to say to Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Master Kenobi, you need to go to the planet Bakura with Anakin Skywalker. There is intelligence that the separatism is about to launch there. With one offensive, please be sure to curb the advance of the separatists."
Obi-Wan Kenobi nodded, "Okay, Master Windu."
"May the Force be with you," Master Windu said.
After the combat meeting, Master Mace Windu found Depa Billaba alone. He said solemnly: "I must tell you some sad news, Master Billaba."
"Nothing is more tragic than this war." Depa-Bilaba stabbed Windu.
"Master Sora Bulq fell to the dark side," Mace Windu said.
Depa Billaba was finally moved. Her eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Master Thora Balk? How is this possible?! He is a distinguished Jedi master, and his swordsmanship is at its peak. Back then You improved the Wapard sword technique based on the seventh form of Zhu Yue's sword technique, and he played a key role!"
Mace Windu said: "As we all know, Master Thora Balk is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Jedi Order, especially the outbreak of the war, which made him extremely painful. Five days ago, he personally invited several people who were dissatisfied with the Jedi Order Representatives of Jedi Masters who had different opinions on the regiment's situation went to a manor to discuss the situation, and I was among the invited people..."
He paused, with an angry expression on his face, "But our gathering was suddenly attacked by the Separatists. Count Dooku's dark disciple Asajj Ventress led troops to raid the manor. Originally, I I thought Thora Balk was one of the victims, until I discovered Asajj Ventress's shuttle parked deep within the manor... He has fallen, Thora Balk."
Depa-Bilaba closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Master Windu continued: "The reason why Master Thora Balk fell into the dark side of the force is actually related to the Wapad sword technique. Originally, I created the Wapad sword technique in the hope of integrating light and The strength of darkness has become a powerful sword technique. Although it is indeed successful, the Wapad sword technique will allow the user to wander on the edge of light and darkness. If he is not careful, he will completely fall."
"Do you want to talk to me? Master Windu." Depa-Bilaba's tone gradually turned cold.
"The civil war on the planet Harunkar has been going on for nearly 30 years. The cruelty may be beyond your imagination. I would like to go there in person, but on the one hand, the Windu family is also involved in the civil war. On the other hand, the Windu family is also involved in the civil war. On the other hand, I am also very concerned about the war situation on the planet Oud-Mantel. Therefore, in this matter, I can only choose to trust you. I just hope that you and the Wapad sword technique you practice will not It was shaken because of what happened on the planet Harunkar," Mace Windu said.
"My heart is extremely firm, and I will not waver in any way." After Depa Biraba finished speaking, he turned around and left, not wanting to say a word more.
…
From the day the Battle of Geonosis broke out on May 21st, 22BBY, the entire galaxy has been plunged into a terrible civil war. The Confederation of Independent Systems, mainly in the Outer Rim Star Region, split from the Galactic Republic and took the initiative to start a war. The civil war between the two sides was almost out of control.
Time has entered September of 22 BBY, and the Confederation of Independent Systems that is ready to go seems unstoppable. The Galactic Republic is retreating steadily, and a large number of galaxies have fallen. The Galactic Republic suffered heavy losses on several major battlefields, and almost all its mobile forces were lost.
Under such circumstances, the Republic struggled to destroy the super battleship Venomous Fang, finally giving hope to the eroded war situation.
And those behind the scenes who participated in the war also started their own plans.
With the resurrection of Darth Tenebrous, the struggle between the Jedi Order and the Sith Lords, and the struggle between the Sith Lords and the Sith Lords has become increasingly complicated.
The future of the Milky Way and the fourth civilization are becoming increasingly confusing.
