Chapter 1246: Killing Team (I pat my belly and it feels 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 chills all over 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 the kind of person who kills like crazy.

However, Palpatine kills 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 whatever... However, in the face of Palpatine Erpatin 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 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 can't continue like this, absolutely not! !

After this incident, Palpatine became determined to 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 about feelings and interests rationally with normal people, 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 back power, then... ...it's a different 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 finishing dealing with the Independent Federation, he would find excuses to label these people as liaisons with the Independent Federation. Traitor, then just get rid of it 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 can be confirmed. Speaker Palpatine said that the threat to the Galactic Republic has not yet been eliminated, and he will not give up the supreme command immediately!"

"really!"

After 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 remnants of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Masters have already died, and most of the remaining Jedi have also been sent to various battlefields and died. So far, there are only these thirteen Jedi Knights left in the Jedi Order, and they are the first to suspect Palpatine.

As for the reason why these Jedi Knights suspect Palpatine, it is very simple. Many of them have experienced the war between the Galactic Republic and the Independent Federation before, so they also found that Palpatine always seems to send them to the battlefield where they will die. Although Palpatine said to the outside world that only the power of the Jedi Knights can save the defeat, not all Jedi Knights believe his nonsense.

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

Of course, although they thought so secretly, they had no evidence, so they had been forbearing. After all, the Jedi Order not only has Jedi Knights, but also many apprentices, and those apprentices are children. Of course, they can't let these children fall into danger because of their own ideas.

What's more, Palpatine now uses the excuse of avoiding threats to the Jedi Order by the enemy to send the Clone Corps to guard the Jedi Temple. Of course, whether this is protection or threat depends on how you think.

"Things are not that simple."

The Jedi Knight shook his head.

"According to my investigation, all this is likely related to the Inquisition!"

"The Inquisition?"

All the Jedi Knights became nervous when they heard the name.

If the Inquisition was still an unfamiliar organization to them at the beginning, then now, the name of the Inquisition is already known to everyone, especially during the civil war. The Inquisition's head-on attack on the Independent Federation Fleet and its clear attitude of "only saving humans and human races, others die" also intensified the fierce contradictions within the Galactic Republic.

If the Jedi Knights hate the Inquisition, they definitely hate it. You know, because of the emergence of the Inquisition, many non-human alien races are now unwilling to cooperate with humans. The same is true for the Jedi Knights. They originally planned to send people to cooperate with the remnants of the Independent Federation, but they were directly rejected.

In the eyes of the Jedi Knights, the threat of the Inquisition is greater than Palpatine. It has taken the human race nearly a thousand years to finally wipe out the influence of the Goddess's Guard. However, now that the Inquisition has appeared, the conflict between humans and other alien races has once again been brought to the forefront.

Not to mention the demise of the Independent Federation—so many people died, it is definitely impossible to hide it from everyone. Therefore, soon, the news of the extinction of life in most galaxies of the Independent Federation spread. At that time, it was not that no one suspected that this was the work of the Inquisition. After all, the attitude of the Inquisition was that humans can live and aliens must die. So some fearless reporters traveled thousands of miles to Tatooine and interviewed Duanmu Huai.

What no one expected was that in the face of the live interview, Duanmu Huai not only did not conceal or change the subject, but directly admitted it!

That's right, the tragedy of the Federation of Independent Systems was committed by the Inquisition. Our attitude is very clear. Only humans have the right 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 cut ties with the Inquisition.

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

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

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I got the call record between the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition and Speaker Palpatine."

As he spoke, the Jedi Knight turned on the holographic projector, and then everyone saw the communication between Palpatine and Duanmu Huai, in which Palpatine looked very humble and smiled apologetically. Duanmu Huai was expressionless and looked very indifferent. The master-servant status was obvious at a glance.

Not only that, in the conversation between the two sides, it can be seen that Palpatine has been trying to preserve other alien races, even if they are slaves and do hard labor, but this was directly rejected by Duanmu Huai, who said that the Tribunal only wanted one result. After Palpatine said that he couldn't do it, Duanmu Huai said that just because you can't do it doesn't mean that the Tribunal can't do it---then cut off the 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 looked serious. Soon, someone shouted in indignation.

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

"Uh... ..."

However, hearing his shouting, another Jedi Knight showed a subtle expression.

"Are you serious? Who in the entire Galactic Republic doesn't know the cruelty of the Tribunal now?"

"…………………………"

Hearing this, the person who shouted before suddenly seemed to be strangled by the Force and became mute.

Indeed, he had forgotten that this tribunal was a naked human supremacist from the very beginning and it had 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, most people would oppose it once they made it public.

But what about now?

The alien races that clearly occupied the majority were killed by the Inquisition and turned into a minority!

With fewer people, the voices are naturally 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.

Naturally, they will not oppose the Inquisition out of nothing.

In fact, during the civil war, this situation occurred. Everyone knew that Tatooine was the territory of the Inquisition, but they also knew that the Inquisition only accepted humans and subhuman races, so many humans and subhuman races went to Tatooine for refuge... After all, in the face of life and death, one's own life is the most important.

In addition, there is reproductive isolation between different races, so there is no such thing as two interracial families, most of them are families.

It can be said that up to now, for the majority of humans and humanoids in the Galactic Republic, they may be somewhat dissatisfied with the brutality of the Inquisition, but as direct beneficiaries, they... don't seem to have any special reasons to oppose.

The most practical thing is that the cake is so big, if you want to share the cake, either make the cake bigger or reduce the number of people sharing the cake.

For example, if there are eight people sharing the cake, then as long as you kill seven of them, can't you monopolize a big cake?

This is what the Inquisition does.

It's OK for humans to share the cake, and the aliens are not qualified to be on the table.

Oh, they can still be on the table, and there will be no problem if they are on the table.

"As of now, it is obvious that Speaker Palpatine and the Inquisition are colluding with each other."

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

"I think it is very likely that the Inquisition forced Chancellor Palpatine. If the Inquisition wants to achieve their purpose, it will inevitably need the help of members within the Galactic Republic. It is very likely that this is why they found Chancellor Palpatine, and in the face of the Inquisition's strength, Chancellor Palpatine probably has no choice."

"But even if we know, what can we do? Tatooine is not a place we can enter casually!"

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

The problem is, how to deal with the Inquisition?

Assassination is the specialty of the Jedi Knights, but it also depends on the place. Tatooine is the territory of the Inquisition, and the Jedi Knights going in are simply sending themselves to death. And no one knows the specific location of the Inquisition. Tatooine is just a stronghold of the Inquisition.

"I have a message."

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

"According to my investigation, in ten days, Chancellor Palpatine will hold a celebration to celebrate the victory over the Independent Federation and commemorate the soldiers who died in the war. The Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition will also be present. As long as we take this opportunity to kill him, there will be no problem!"

"How strong is the Grand Inquisitor?"

"I don't know, but we must be prepared."

When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan first went to Tatooine, they did experience the strength of the Inquisition, but they only reported to the Jedi Council. In order to avoid complications, the Jedi Council did not tell others about this matter, so that now these Jedi Knights have no knowledge of the strength of the Inquisition.

However, even if they knew, I am afraid they would still not change their decision.

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

They will never lose!
