Chapter 688: Hunting the Malevolence (4)

Count Dooku smiled and said: "There have been some mistakes in the Malevolence's recent actions, and its existence should have been noticed by the Republic by now."

"This is terrible, Count Dooku. As far as the Mission of the Malevolence is concerned, it should be kept mysterious so as to give the Republic enough deterrence." Tang Xiao said.

"General Grievous's performance during the Battle of this Warship was not very good. The Malevolence is now deep into the hinterland of the Republic-Controlled Area. In the ensuing encirclement and suppression, we will not even be able to provide reinforcements in time. The largest of the Malevolence Achilles' Heel is the Low Hyperdrive Level." Count Dooku said.

Tang Xiao nodded. In fact, the same problem existed on the Plague Titan Battleship. In a sense, the Malevolence and the Plague are very similar, sacrificing other parameters for the Energy Supply of their Super Weapons.

Count Dooku continued: "Actually, during the previous raid on Sarapin, I was very impressed by General Sev'rance Tann's ability. In my opinion, she should be the Commander. The Malevolence is the best candidate to Command a Super Warship. So, I want to hand over the Malevolence to her Command, what do you think?"

Tang Xiao thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "This is my honor, and it is also the honor of General Tann. I am very sure of this."

"The Malevolence is currently performing a Mission near Naboo. After the Mission is over, I will send the Battleship back to Pammant Docks for repairs. At that time, General Sev'rance Tann can go to Pammant Docks to take over this Battleship," said Count Dooku.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "For the current situation, I have a suggestion."

"Speak."

"Because of Governor Sulamar's incompetence, my Fleet was lucky enough to win the Battle with the 19th Army of the Republic. At the same time, because of your Excellent Leadership, the Main Force of the Republic's Fleet suffered Heavy Losses on Planet Falleen. Now it is time for the Galaxy and the Republic, to feel fear!" Tang Xiao said.

"That's right, the Republic's Defenses are constantly retreating, which also shows the fear in their hearts!" Count Dooku said.

"So, why don't you spread the word about the existence of the Malevolence?" An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "Whether it is for the Republic or our Confederacy of Independent Systems, the existence of the Malevolence will be of great importance. It will be a blockbuster for the Confederacy and It will ignite the enthusiasm of the people! For the Republic, it will be a deep-rooted fear!"

Count Dooku's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "You should know that this suggestion may also make the Malevolence lose its stealth."

"The Malevolence, there is no more secrecy." Tang Xiao replied lightly.

"I have to say, what you said has some truth." Count Dooku said, "What about the Extremely Powerful Plague? Can Lord Angel of Death reply?"

Tang Xiao said: "He did agree that the Plague Titan Battleship would join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, but after that, there will be no further details. In fact, the suggestion I just made also includes the Plague. The existence of Super Warships will dispel the Republic's will to resist and allow them to retreat without a fight."

"Then, that's it." Count Dooku finally nodded in agreement.

"I will also make General Sev'rance Tann ready to receive the Malevolence." After Tang Xiao saluted Count Dooku, he turned off the Holographic Projection.

"He agreed?" Another figure came from behind Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao turned his head, looked at Helmut Zemo who was standing in the shadows, and said coldly: "Unless he knows the ending of the Malevolence, he won't have any doubts about this proposal. What I want, yes, it's just to protect the Plague, as for the Malevolence, it's not within my scope of consideration."

...

"8,000 Meters!!" A Republic Warship Scientist slapped the table and said loudly, "According to the Data of this Separatist Super Warship, we need at least One Warship of the 8,000-Meter Class if we want to defeat it steadily and to have enough Energy Supply to resist the EMP Attack!"

Another Gray-Haired Scientist quickly tapped the Keyboard on his Terminal, entered a series of Formulas for Calculation, and then projected the Light Screen on the table and said: "If you want to design an Energy Core that can directly counteract this Super EMP Attack, we need a Hull of at least 12,000 Meters."

"Be conservative, estimate 17,000 Meters." Another Scientist said.

"Place an order with the Kuat Drive Yards as soon as possible. We need to have such a Super Battleship within 8 Months at the shortest so that we can compete head-on with the Separatist Fleet." The White-Haired Scientist turned his head and looked at the Holographic Projection of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine behind him.

"With all due respect, Respected Scholars." Palpatine said slowly with a warm smile on his face: "The Supply Line of the entire Hydian Ways has been paralyzed because of this Super Battleship. If we continue to If we wait for 8 Months, I am afraid that all along the Hydian Way will fall into the hands of Separatists."

"However, it is impossible to defeat this Super Warship by relying on the strength of a Conventional Fleet. We have conducted many Simulations! Unless a Huge Fleet of more than 50 Venator-class Star Destroyers is assembled to launch attacks from multiple directions at the same time, otherwise, there is no possibility of defeating it." The Scientist shook his head and sighed.

"Perhaps, at this time, we need to rely on the power of the Jedi Knights." Palpatine said, "Gentlemen, there may be more than One Separatist Super Battleship. There are many things we need to consider."

...

"...The above is the conclusion of our Scientific Research and Technology Team on this Super Battleship. In other words, unless a miracle happens, we still cannot find a way to deal with the attack of this Warship." Palpatine said in the Holographic Projection to Master Windu and Master Yoda.

"We can't let this Super Battleship continue to wreak havoc, we must find a way to deal with it. Thank you for your support, Mr. Chancellor, we will come up with a plan as soon as possible." Master Windu.

"I am sure that the Jedi Knights might just be this miracle. Then, the future of the Republic will be guarded by you." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine saluted seriously, bowed deeply, and then closed the Communication.

"Some truth to the Supreme Chancellors proposal there is." Master Yoda said, "Miracle is what The Force is."

Master Windu nodded thoughtfully.

...

"I heard from the Master just now that the whereabouts of that Super Battleship had been tracked." In the corridor of the Jedi Temple, a pair of Beautiful Figures in Red and Blue Dresses walked forward and talked.

The Jedi Knights and Jedi Padawans they met on the road all avoided them in fear!

The Twins of The Force, Luna-Dream and Luna-Magic.

"The Malevolence... the Governor can always see very far..." Dream Luna said lightly.

"You have to remember, Sister, this name is unknown to the Republic." Phantasm Luna said.

Suddenly, as if feeling something, they looked towards a room ahead, where there was a faint sound of quarreling, they looked at each other, and walked over.

"...This is the price for your big mistakes! Master Windu, to win the War, we should have directly Bombarded Geonosis from the very beginning!" Their Master, Depa Billaba's voice came from the room.

Although blocked by the Force Barrier, they still heard a little bit of the quarrel through the keen Force of the Twins.

"You should consider how many Civilians there are, and even how many of our Jedi exist!" said Master Windu.

"This is a War! Seeing how many Civilians and Jedi Knights have died in this War, don't you regret it?" Depa Billaba said.

"I am a Jedi Knight, this is what I believe in." Master Windu said.

"Jedi knights cannot win Wars, Generals can," Depa Billaba said in a deep voice.

"This is a very dangerous thought, Master Billaba." Master Windu frowned, and suddenly he turned his head, looked in the direction of the door, and said, "Come in, Twins."

Dream Luna and Phantasm Luna exchanged glances, opened the door, walked in, and bowed deeply to the two Jedi Masters in the room, "Master Windu, Master Billaba, please forgive us for being presumptuous."

"Okay, it's not your fault." Depa Billaba could be said to be doting on the Dream Sisters, and she forgave them almost immediately, "What do you want with me?"

Phantasm Luna said: "We want to participate in this operation to destroy the Separatist Super Battleship."
