Chapter 697: A New Nightmare

Chapter 697: A New Nightmare

The Malevolence finally crashed head-on onto Ryndellia.

After the Hyperdrive of the Super Battleship was blown up by the Jedi Knights, General Grievous felt that the matter was irreversible, so he fled theMalevolence with his Starfighter "Soulless One", but still commanded theMalevolence through Subspace Communication and Remote Control for a final struggle.

After the Jedi Knights destroyed the Hyperdrive, they had no intention of being entangled with the Droids rushing towards them like a tide and quickly ran out from the Hanger Platform of the Super Battleship.

I don't know if it was fate, but after the Jedi Knight ran away, those Maintenance Droids swarmed up and repaired the Hyperdrive in only a few minutes. Fortunately, Anakin Skywalker kept an eye out and modified the Data on the Navigation Computer before. When theMalevolence started the Hyperspace Jump, the Calculation made a mistake and finally crashed directly into the Deserted Planet of Ryndellia.

If General Grievous was still on the Super Battleship at that time, there might have been a chance to correct this mistake and save the Malevolence.

It's a pity that General Grievous is already on the way to escape at this moment...

For the Republic, the crisis of the Malevolence was finally resolved, but another cloud of greater gloom continued to hang over everyone's hearts...

The Plague!

I don't know which link went wrong, even though Darth Malthael didn't spread the news to the Galactic Republic, the news of this Terrible Titan Battleship and the tragedy on Trigalis still spread throughout the Republic!

This tragedy of more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians was deliberately exaggerated and struck the hearts of every Citizen of the Republic! The 14,100-Meter-Long Titan Battleship shrouded the Galactic Republic like a nightmare! The slowness and powerlessness of the 15th Army of the Republic in the face of the sudden attack of the Plague has also become the target of criticism.

'How to defeat the Plague? 'The Largest Media of the Galactic Republic, the Republic Holographic News Network, used a somewhat blurred image of the Plague and the moment when the Warship destroyed a Space Station of Trigalis as the background and published a Large Front-Page Headline and it is shocking!

The Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, urgently called a Meeting with the Jedi Knights, the 3 Major Industrial Giants, and the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, and announced that a Full Senate Discussion on the issue of the Plague would be held one day later.

Different from the panic of the public, the emotions of the 3 Major Industrial Giants are not as tense as they were when they faced the Malevolence.

"Just keep the Original Design Direction." Lira Wessex, the Chief Engineer of Kuat Drive Yards, pushed aside the information in front of her and said coldly, "According to the current Design we proposed, the 17,500-Meter Super Star Destroyer plan can easily defeat this type of Battleship. If it can deal with the Malevolence, it will naturally be able to deal with the Plague."

The Engineers from Rendili StarDrive and Corellian Engineering Corporation also nodded expressionlessly. Anyway, the Design Order is not with them, so they are naturally more free. No matter what, the Warship designed by Kuat is the best and It would smash the Plague.

"It seems that in your eyes, this Plague is not as threatening as the Malevolence?" Palpatine asked with great interest.

"This is just a simple addition. It is nothing more than continuously increasing the Caliber and Energy Level. Then as long as it is larger than this Battleship, you can easily win the Battle. On the contrary, the EMP of the Malevolence can bypass the Deflector Shield. Imagine, we have to take this into account when Designing. Protecting against an EMP is naturally much more complicated than Defending against a Big Iron Lump." Lira Wessex said.

A Sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth, "I understand, then since this is the case, you should hurry up and Design this Super Star Destroyer."

"But our Battle Situation can't wait until this time." Master Windu said, "The Weakness of the Plague is more obvious than that of the Malevolence. Without the cover of a Fleet, it is very likely to get rid of the Plague."

"We will increase our Defenses, Separatists. No Single-Ship Attack after the Malevolence is destroyed, there will be." Master Yoda said.

"But at least, the Battle of the Malevolence showed the strength of the Jedi Order. I believe that the Plague will suffer the same fate." Palpatine said with a smile, "Now we need to be more vigilant, as long as the Plague appears again, We must destroy it, and not let the tragedy of Trigalis happen again."

After the meeting, Sheev Palpatine secretly came to the Deserted Industrial Area of Coruscant and took out his Subspace Transceiver.

The Holographic Projection of Count Dooku appeared. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My Lord, it was my mistake that the Jedi Knights seized the opportunity regarding the Malevolence. Next time, I will never make that mistake again."

"Why do you think that you have another chance?" Darth Sidious's Distorted and Greasy Voice seemed to carry a Chilling Chill.

"Next, I will reorganize the Fleet with the Plague as the Core, which will deal a fatal blow to the Republic! And I believe that more Jedi Knights will die in the process of confronting the Plague when...uh..."

Before Count Dooku could finish his sentence, Darth Sidious directly strangled his neck with The Force! Darth Sidious's Terrifying Dark Side of The Force directly crossed the endless starry sky, acted on Count Dooku, and then threw him far away with a Wave of his Hand!

"I remember I told you, the Plague, destroy it!!!" Darth Sidious said through gritted teeth.

"But my Lord, we have lost the Malevolence..." Count Dooku stood up from the ground and quickly explained.

"Do you want me to say the same thing a third time?!" Darth Sidious said coldly.

"Don't dare... I will arrange matters related to the Plague immediately." Count Dooku hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, "But, I also hope that the Lord will clarify our Strategic Direction of the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the Plague is destroyed. Now the Malevolence and the Plague are enjoying a great reputation among the people of the Confederacy, and in that case, both are destroyed... The War is likely to end early..."

"When the War ends, the Republic doesn't matter, the Jedi Order doesn't matter, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems doesn't matter! When the War ends, it's up to me!! Just my thought!!!" Darth Sidious Grasped the Void with Both Hands, Count Dooku could only see that everything around him Trembled Violently.

Then his tone changed, and he became kind again, "As long as I destroy the Plague, I will naturally have a way to give back to the Confederacy of Independent Systems elsewhere."

"Just, why..."

"I just, simply don't like the name..."
