Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 764: Apologize

"This...this is..." Looking at the Holographic Projection, Nute Gunray was stunned.

Then Count Dooku's rich and magnetic voice sounded, "I don't know what happened between you and the Angel of Death, and I don't want to know. But, after seeing this, you should understand what the Angel of Death relies on."

"He is taking advantage of public opinion...?" Nute Gunray said.

"That's right. I suspect that when he was promoting the Malevolence Super Battleship and the Plague Titan Battleship in a big way, he was already thinking about this idea. In fact, he even foresaw the destruction of the Malevolence... because of what we promoted before. The destruction of the Malevolence, one of the two Super Warships, had brought public opinion to the brink of an explosion, but it was the Plague's success that temporarily suppressed this process." Dooku. said the earl.

"So... after the Malevolence was destroyed, the Plague became the only spiritual pillar of the Confederacy of Independent Systems?" Nute Gunray thought of this.

'"Star Battleships, Star Generals, in a sense, that's true." Count Dooku stroked his snow-white beard, 'If General Grievous hadn't also severely damaged the Republic Fleet during his Offensive, even now, I would be awarding General Sev'rance Tann with the Marshal's Scepter."

"...In other words, if I really destroyed the Plague, then I will become a sinner of the Confederacy of Independent Systems?" Nute Gunray's face turned blue.

"And you are also a sinner of the Galactic Republic." Count Dooku added.

Nute Gunray was completely discouraged. He lowered his head and said, "But...but Lord Sidious will kill me! He will definitely do it!"

Count Dooku looked down at this timid wretch, with a hint of ridicule and disdain in the corners of his eyes. However, considering the terrifying wealth in his hands, Count Dooku still smiled slightly and said: "Lord Sidious will not kill you, but I am sure that he will be very angry at your disobedience."

"You must save me...he will kill me, I don't want to die..." Nute Gunray begged.

Count Dooku shook his head and asked, "Why did you come to me instead of looking for the Angel of Death?"

"I couldn't find him at all. He just told me that he wanted to win this war, and that Sidious wanted to kill me. But I don't even know where he is..." Nute Gunray said eagerly.

After all, he was still the Viceroy of the Trade Federation. Even if Nute Gunray told lies in such fear, his face would not change and his heart would not beat. He told half-truths and half-lies according to the way Darth Malthael taught him before.

"He wants to win this war...?" Count Dooku thought about the meaning of this sentence, "In other words, he thinks Sidious doesn't want to win?"

"He did hint so." Nute Gunray lowered his head and said.

"Hmph." Count Dooku snorted coldly and then said: "It would be better for you not to get involved in the matter between Darth Sidious and the Angel of Death. These are Sith Lords of the previous generation, in their hands, It's not surprising that they hold dark and powerful areas that you cannot touch."

'But Tang Xiao is obviously very young, so why does he seem to be like an older generation of Sith Lords to Count Dooku? This thought flashed through Nute Gunray's mind, but he just continued according to the statement he had made before:' "I have no idea what happened... The Plague suddenly appeared in Cato Neimoidia, and I was completely unprepared!"

Count Dooku smiled coldly, raised his finger, and a Black Subspace Transceiver flew to Nute Gunray's hand, "Ask Lord Darth Sidious for forgiveness."

Nute Gunray threw away the Subspace Transceiver as if he were holding a piece of red-hot iron, "No, no, no! He will kill me, he will definitely kill me! He personally told me to destroy the Plague, but I didn't do it..."

Count Dooku walked over personally, bent down, picked up the Subspace Transceiver, and put it in Nute Gunray's hand, "Lord Sidious will not kill you. At least for now, I can guarantee this to you. If you still don't apologize to him, his anger will become stronger with each passing minute, and maybe at some point, he really will kill you."

Nute Gunray picked up the Subspace Transceiver tremblingly, hesitated for a long time, glanced at Count Dooku again, and then connected the communication after Count Dooku nodded again.

A moment later, the figure of Darth Sidious in a Black Cloak appeared in the Holographic Projection, with half of his ferocious and twisted face exposed under the hood, and said in a greasy voice: "Ah, this is not my dear Apprentice. Are you the Viceroy of the Trade Federation? Are you here to tell me the good news about the destruction of the Plague?'

Nute Gunray's body trembled violently, but at this moment, The Force of the Dark Side suddenly flew through his heart. At this moment, the figure of Darth Malthael seemed to flash before his eyes. It immediately calmed him down a lot.

At the same time, Darth Sidious seemed to notice something, and his golden eyes under the hood suddenly looked to the other side, "Count Dooku, you are there."

Count Dooku stepped forward and appeared in the Projection Range, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My Lord, I am here."

Nute Gunray said tremblingly, "The Plague was not destroyed. On the contrary... it destroyed the 7th Squadron..."

Darth Sidious's voice turned cold, "Then, maybe I spoke too quietly before and you didn't hear me?"

"I... no, I heard... but... but the Plague..." Nute Gunray said incoherently, trying to make it easier for himself.

"I don't want someone who disobeys my orders to be alive!!' Darth Sidious gritted his teeth and raised his hand to grab Nute Gunray's neck. The Extremely Powerful Dark Side of The Force directly pinched Nute Gunray's neck out of thin air and then lifted his whole body up.

Nute Gunray kicked his legs in despair, looking towards Count Dooku and wanting to ask him for help, but Count Dooku just knelt there on one knee and remained motionless, with no intention of saving him.

He did not know how long it took, but when Nute Gunray started to roll his eyes, Darth Sidious raised his hand and Nute Gunray was immediately thrown out, hitting the table with a clang, and rolled away. There was no movement for a long time after it fell to the ground.

At this time, Count Dooku slowly said: "My Lord, the name of the Plague is widely circulated in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It is not appropriate to act rashly under such circumstances, and it may even expose your big plan."

"So, you have a plan?" Darth Sidious said coldly and slowly.

"At least, this is not something Nute Gunray, a loser, can do." Count Dooku said.
