Start a Core Pod Chapter 1246

Chapter 1246: Killing Team (My belly is soft and cottony)

Palpatine wanted to hide this matter at first, but he soon discovered that he couldn't hide it, he couldn't hide it at all!

According to Commander Wilhuff's subsequent investigation, a total of dozens of galaxies were tragically exterminated! All life is wiped out!

Even Palpatine felt a chill run through his body after hearing Wilhuff's report.

The Inquisition is so bold!

　　 Killing... It's not that you can't kill. Palpatine is still a Sith. Logically speaking, he is also the kind of person who kills people like crazy.

However, Palpatine killed people to threaten others! Killing is to create fear and make others surrender to you. This is the main purpose!

But what about the Inquisition? Without saying a word, he wiped out all life on dozens of planets. He didn't show any emotion at all. When asked, he just said it was work - he was as calm as killing a pig.

Even Palpatine was trembling now.

This is really scary.

The Sith fell into the dark side of the Force. Anger, fear, etc. are all the Sith's appetite, so Palpatine creates fear and anger through killing, but at the same time, these will also bring him satisfaction. Palpatine also experienced pleasure and excitement whenever he used his powers to kill those who resisted.

But the Inquisition... is completely different.

Palpatine even had the feeling that the opponent was not the same kind of creature as him. After killing so many people, even if the Inquisition did not regard alien aliens as human beings, even if they killed the same number of pigs, ordinary people would feel differently. Be moved.

But after that, when Palpatine went to ask Duanmuhuai, he originally thought that Duanmuhuai would make an excuse, or pretend not to know, or threaten him in turn, or something... However, when faced with Palpatine When Patin asked, Duanmuhuai just nodded silently.

“Oh, that's right.”

Then I turned to another chapter, as calmly as if I were talking about today's weather.

Duanmuhuai acted so calmly that Palpatine was stunned.

Is there anything else like this?

Holy shit! Jedi, look at it, you still say that the Sith are cruel, terrifying and violent. Compared with the Inquisition, we Sith are just gentle and kind little sheep, okay?

This cannot continue, absolutely not!

Since this incident, Palpatine has determined in his heart that he must completely sever ties with the Inquisition. To be honest, if it was just a matter of pure interests, Palpatine might not be able to tolerate it. For example, if the Inquisition asked him how many star sectors he wanted to be a dominion or something, it would not be impossible. Although this is somewhat disgusting to Palpatine, considering the power of the Galactic Empire, it is not intolerable.

But... now Palpatine is sure that he is a madman in this Inquisition!

You can talk to normal people about feelings and interests in a reasonable manner, but it's useless to talk to a lunatic!

But how to deal with the Inquisition?

Of course Palpatine would not be stupid enough to do it himself, or in other words, people who like to play dirty don't like to do it directly themselves, but instead kill people with borrowed knives. Maybe this can show that he is more advanced? Can you control the fate of others?

Of course, Duanmu Huai never likes to borrow a knife to kill people. He thinks it is more satisfying for me to do it myself. But if others want to borrow the knife of the Tribunal to kill people, Duanmu Huai doesn't care. After all, this knife weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. You have to use it. Killing people, and crushing yourself to death when the time comes is purely deserved, isn't it...?

Okay, let's go a little further – come back, come back.

Palpatine was naturally unwilling to do it himself, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but his own people would definitely not be able to use it. However, Palpatine was so cunning that he quickly found a group of scapegoats.

That's the rebels!

In fact, within the Galactic Republic, since the emergence of the Independent Federation, there have been betrayers acting secretly. Especially after Palpatine took over power under the pretext of dealing with the Independent Federation, many people became aware of the old fox Palpatine. ambition. But at that time, these people thought that they would wait until the Independent Federation was completely eliminated before looking at Palpatine's actions. If Palpatine decided to return power to the Congress, nothing would happen.

If Palpatine doesn't hand over power, then... that's another story.

Palpatine was also well aware of the actions of these people. Of course he would not hand back the power. Originally, Palpatine thought that after cleaning up the Independent Federation, he would find excuses to label these people as liaisons with the Independent Federation. Traitor, then just clean it up and you'll be fine. After all, the civil war was a time of chaos, and it was normal for someone to die.

Unexpectedly, Duanmuhuai's Inquisition directly killed the Independent Federation, and now both sides' plans were forced to be implemented in advance. However, compared to the rebels who were caught off guard, Palpatine was still prepared, so he immediately started his plan.

Everything is going on in full swing.

At the same time, in a secret room on Coruscant, a group of people were gathering together.

“The situation is confirmed. Chancellor Palpatine stated that the threat from the Galactic Republic has not been eliminated and he will not give up the supreme command immediately!”

“Sure enough!”

Hearing this report, the other person snorted coldly.

"I knew Palpatine was not a good person. He was obviously greedy for power and unwilling to step down! The threat was lifted? Then according to him, when will the threat be lifted? If it is not lifted for the rest of his life, will he rule the galaxy? Republic for life?”

Gathered here are the remaining members of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Masters have all sacrificed before, and most of the remaining Jedi have also been sent to various battlefields to die. So far, these thirteen Jedi are the only ones left in the Jedi Order, and it was they who first suspected Palpatine.

The reason why these Jedi doubt Palpatine is very simple. Many of them have experienced the previous wars between the Galactic Republic and the Independent Federation, so they also discovered that Palpatine always seemed to send himself and others to death. On the lifeless battlefield. Although Palpatine stated that only the power of the Jedi could save the defeat, not all Jedi believed his lies.

They have long suspected that everything, including the destruction of the Jedi Council, was Palpatine's conspiracy, but there was no evidence!

Of course, although they secretly thought so, they had no evidence, so they kept it secret. After all, the Jedi Order not only has Jedi Knights, but also many apprentices, and those apprentices are children. Of course, they cannot put these children in danger because of their own ideas.

What's more, Palpatine now uses the excuse of preventing enemies from posing a threat to the Jedi Order, sending clone legions to protect the Jedi Temple - of course, as to whether this is protection or a threat, it depends on what you think.

“It's not that simple.”

The Jedi from before shook his head.

“According to my investigation, the Inquisition is probably behind all this!”

“Inquisition?”

Hearing this name, all the Jedi suddenly became nervous.

If the Tribunal was still a strange organization to them at the very beginning, then now, the name of the Tribunal is already known to everyone, especially during the civil war, the Tribunal has The head-on attack by the Independent Federation fleet and the clear attitude of "only save humans and human races, and let others die" also intensified the fierce conflicts within the Galactic Republic.

Whether the Jedi hate the Tribunal, they definitely hate it. You know, just because of the emergence of the Tribunal, many non-human alien races are now unwilling to cooperate with humans. The same goes for the Jedi Knights. They originally planned to send people to cooperate with the remaining forces of the Independent Federation, but they were turned down.

In the eyes of the Jedi, the threat of the Tribunal is greater than that of Palpatine. You must know that it took the human race nearly a thousand years to finally wipe out the influence of the Goddess's Guards. However, now the Tribunal As soon as it came out, the conflict between humans and other alien races was once again brought to the forefront.

Not to mention the demise of the Independent Federation - with so many people dead, there was no way to hide it from everyone. Therefore, soon, the news of the extinction of life in most of the galaxies of the Independent Federation spread. It was not No one doubts that this is the work of the Inquisition. After all, the attitude of the Inquisition is that humans can live but aliens must die. So some reporters who were not afraid of death traveled thousands of miles to Tatooine and interviewed Duanmu Huai.

What everyone did not expect was that, instead of concealing or changing the subject during the live interview, Duanmuhuai admitted it directly! Yes, those tragedies in the Federation of Independent Systems were caused by the Inquisition. Our attitude is clear. Only humans are qualified to live, and all aliens must die, without exception!

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, which forced Palpatine to make the decision to sever himself from the Inquisition.

I knew you were a tiger, but I didn't expect you to be such a tiger!

The Jedi Knights naturally regard the Inquisition as a terrifying evil organization, and now...the Inquisition is actually related to this matter?

"are you sure?"

“I'm sure I have access to the transcript of the call between the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition and Chancellor Palpatine.”

As he said that, the Jedi turned on the holographic projector, and then everyone saw the communication between Palpatine and Duanmuhuai, in which Palpatine looked very humble, with an apologetic smile on his face. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, had an expressionless face and looked very indifferent. His master-subordinate status was clearly evident.

Not only that, from the dialogue between the two parties, it can be seen that Palpatine has been working hard to preserve other alien races, meaning that even if they are allowed to work as slaves, Duanmuhuai directly and ruthlessly rejected this. , and said that the Tribunal only wanted one result, and after Palpatine said that he couldn't do it, Duanmuhuai said that you can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the Tribunal can't do it - and then cut off communication.

“Now it seems that this should be the call record between the two parties before the tragedy.”

After reading these call records, the Jedi Knights all looked serious. Soon, someone shouted with indignation.

"We should make this public! Let everyone know the cruelty of the Inquisition!"

"Well………"

However, upon hearing his shout, another Jedi showed a subtle expression.

"Are you serious? Is there anyone in the entire Galactic Republic who doesn't know the cruelty of the Inquisition?"

Hearing this, the person who yelled before suddenly became mute as if being strangled by the Force.

Indeed, he has forgotten that the Tribunal was a naked human supremacist from the beginning, and it has never changed!

"And to be honest, even if we make it public, I'm afraid most people won't care..."

Another Jedi sighed silently. As she said, if it was the original Galactic Republic, once they made this matter public, most of the citizens of the Galactic Republic would object.

But what now?

The alien race, which clearly occupies the majority, was killed alive by the Inquisition alone and became a minority race!

With fewer people, the natural sound will be smaller. For most members of humans and other humanoid races, as long as they follow the purpose of the Inquisition and calculate whether they are human, as long as they meet the requirements, they can breathe a sigh of relief. .

In fact, this situation occurred during the Civil War. Everyone knew that Tatooine was the territory of the Tribunal, but they also knew that the Tribunal only accepted humans and demi-human races, so many humans and demi-human races came to Tatooine. Because I went to take refuge... After all, in the face of life and death, your own life is the most important.

In addition, there is reproductive isolation between various races, so there is no such thing as two interracial families. Most of them are raising children.

It can be said that up to now, for the humans and humanoid races that make up the majority of the Galactic Republic, they may be somewhat dissatisfied with the cruelty of the Inquisition, but as direct beneficiaries, they... don't seem to have any particular reason to object.

The most practical thing is that the cake is only so big. If you want to divide the cake, you must either make the cake bigger or reduce the number of people dividing the cake.

For example, if there are eight people sharing a cake, then as long as seven of them are killed, won't they be able to monopolize a big cake?

This is what the Inquisition does.

It is enough that the people sharing the cake are humans, aliens are not qualified to serve at the table.

　　Oh, it can still be served. It will be no problem if it is brought to the table.

“At this point, it is clear that Chancellor Palpatine and the Inquisition are in cahoots with each other.”

Soon, everyone got over this embarrassing topic and started discussing the current situation again.

"I think it is very likely that the Tribunal forced Speaker Palpatine. If the Tribunal wants to achieve their purpose, they will definitely need the help of members within the Galactic Republic. It is probably because of this that they found Speaker Palpatine. Faced with the power of the Tribunal, Chancellor Palpatine may have no choice."

"But even if we know it, what can we do? Tatooine is not something we can just enter casually!"

Now everyone has decided to make the Tribunal their first target of action. After all, from the perspective of these Jedi Knights, the Tribunal is the mastermind behind all this. So according to their logic, as long as the Tribunal is defeated, the The dark clouds over the Galactic Republic will dissipate!

The question is, how to deal with the Inquisition?

Assassination is the specialty of Jedi Knights, but it depends on the place. Tatooine is the territory of the Inquisition, and Jedi Knights will die if they go there. And no one knows the specific location of the Tribunal, and Tatooine is just a stronghold of the Tribunal.

“I have news.”

At this moment, the Jedi Knight who brought the call record before spoke.

"According to my investigation, in ten days, Speaker Palpatine will hold a celebration to celebrate the victory over the Independent Federation and commemorate those soldiers who died in the war, and the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal will also attend. As long as we Take advantage of this opportunity and kill it, then it will be okay!”

“What is the strength of that Grand Inquisitor?”

“I don't know, but we have to be prepared.”

When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan first went to Tatooine, they did experience the strength of the Tribunal, but they only reported it to the Jedi Council. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, the Jedi Council did not tell anyone else about this matter. , so that now these Jedi Knights can be said to have no awareness of the strength of the Tribunal.

However, even if they knew it, I'm afraid they still wouldn't change their decision.

After all, they are fighting for the Galactic Republic, for freedom, and for all peace-loving people!

They will never lose!
