The Power of the Artifact

"I will support all your research and construction, and assist you in the rebuilding of the Shelak Tribe, but you'd better come up with something that matches." Now that business was done, Tang Xiao also directly put the issue of interest on the table. "During this period of time, you should also pay attention to what is happening in the Galaxy. I am fighting a war. It is not easy to use these things to support you during the war."

"The Shelak Tribe will not stay out of this war," Zekrath said in a deep voice.

"In that case, I'm looking forward to your results." Tang Xiao replied lightly.

After finishing the communication, he was sorting out his equipment and talking to Helmut Zemo beside him, "Have you read the Decimator Tanks Data? Do you have any suggestions?"

"I already talked about this matter with Chief of Staff Qi Jian and Army Commander-in-Chief Xian Hui yesterday. In fact, there is a reason why Sev'rance Tann chose Sarapin." Zemo helped Glasses, said: "The environment of Sarapin is not suitable for the deployment of Air Units, and this is actually the biggest weakness of the Decimator Tank."

"That is to say, if the Republic's Army has Air Superiority, the power of the Decimator Tank will be greatly reduced?" Tang Xiao thought for a while and said.

"The Galactic Republic has no shortage of Pilots, let alone Aircraft, and the Starfighters controlled by our existing Droid AI are generally inferior to intelligent creatures. Although I heard that the Confederacy of Independent Systems is researching a new type of Droid Starfighter, the Tri-Droid Starfighter and HMP Droid Gunship, it will take at least a year before they are officially put into service. Referring to the performance of the Wraith Starfighter against the massive Republic Starfighter Group in the battle of Bespin, I think we really need to consider most of the time, Air Supremacy is controlled by the Republic," Zemo said.

Tang Xiao nodded, "The Decimator Tank is indeed more valuable as a test Prototype than in actual combat. Let the Scientific Research Department conduct some preliminary research first. After we capture Christophsis, we will have a stable supply of Kyber Crystals, and then larger-scale research should be possible. But..."

He thought for a while and said, "Sort up the Technology of the Decimator Tank and give it to Count Dooku. We will keep the Prototype Machine for ourselves."

Zemo thought for a while, and immediately showed a knowing smile, "Smart strategy."

"It can be regarded as a good teacher." Tang Xiao smiled coldly, threw the coat he had just taken off to Zemo, opened the door and walked into a large experimental site with an area of ​​one square kilometer.

Zemo put his coat away, then winked at several Technicians on the side, and the Technicians immediately took out various instruments and began to prepare.

Tang Xiao came to a shelf in the middle of the test site, and there was a Black Gauntlet on it—Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger.

He put the Gauntlet on his left hand, and suddenly the powerful Force of the Dark Side swept over, and the feeling of controlling everything flooded into his heart again. He only felt that he was above all living beings, and he just wanted to become the king! Who dares to stand in front of me, I can even slap him to death directly!

Suddenly an old sigh came from the Gauntlet, Tang Xiao was startled suddenly, his frenzied eyes became clear again, and Lucien Draay's voice said: "Power makes people addicted, Young Sith Lord. Presumably, you now know the dangers of the Dark Side, right? Even the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger, which is for protection, carries the Power of the Dark Side enough to drive people crazy."

Tang Xiao raised his Gauntlet, looked at the Golden Gemstone for a while, and said, "When a person is about to die of thirst, does he care whether he drinks beer or takes a pee?"

"This is also the reason why I choose to follow you. You don't really recognize your own Power. You don't understand what death means much more than an ordinary person. I can travel through the endless Universe and see the center of the Galaxy. In that deep and boundless darkness, if you confront Darth Sidious now, you have no chance of winning." Lucien Draay said.

"Nonsense!!" Tang Xiao yelled angrily with a grim expression on his face, "If it wasn't for the fact that he is the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, I would be able to tear him to pieces right now!!"

"Don't lose your heart, otherwise, even I won't be able to help you..." Lucien Draay's voice gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.

"Governor, are you ready?" Zemo's voice came from the radio on the side.

Tang Xiao's face was still a little ugly, he waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Skip the previous test process and start directly with the Siege Tank!"

"Master Governor! This is definitely not a wise choice! We should proceed step by step..." Zemo was a little anxious.

"Stop rambling! Start the test!!" Tang Xiao said firmly.

"...I understand." After Zemo finished speaking, the door on one side of the field opened, and a Siege Tank drove in. The Tank immediately set up its bracket, and the Dual Artillery merged to form a larger Artillery.

"Fire!!" Tang Xiao shouted. 

Almost at the same time, there was a loud bang, and at the same time as the Siege Tank opened fire, a huge fireball exploded at Tang Xiao's position! The huge power of the Shell quickly squeezed the air around, forming an extremely powerful shock wave, and even the Deflector Shield around the test site rippled for a while.

However, a terrifying scene appeared, the exploding fireball seemed to be torn apart by a gust of wind, it was instantly blown aside, and then quickly dissipated.

Tang Xiao, stood still!

"Hahahahaha!!" He laughed out loud, "Continue!!"

Boom!!! The Siege Tank fires again!!

This time, Zemo, who was standing outside, finally saw the whole process clearly from the slow playback of the Monitoring Equipment. At the moment when the Shell exploded, a powerful source of Force Energy was generated in advance from the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger, which directly blocked Tang Xiao, completely blocking the powerful firepower that could directly blow up a Tank into pieces!

Not only the indestructible defense, but also because the power of this Gauntlet itself has the ability to Predict! Predict the direction of the Artillery attack in advance and respond.

"Governor... the power of this Gauntlet...is it completely autonomous?" Zemo's voice was a little trembling. He had never seen such powerful Equipment, and what made him even more excited was that such Equipment belonged to the Leader he served!

The only thing he has to determine now is whether the power of this Gauntlet is autonomous because if it is completely autonomous, it means it is uncontrollable.

"No." Tang Xiao's answer made Zemo immediately relieved, and he continued: "I must use The Force to determine the source of the threat, and then the power of this Gauntlet will lock all attacks from the source. Of course, If I want to be lazy, I can use the Gauntlet to defend against all threats, but in this case, the Gauntlet functions like a Shield, first, it is not durable, and second, it is not flexible."

"I see, so let's move on to the next test." Zemo nodded and pressed another button.

At this time, two people came out from another door of the test site, Jedi Master Glynn-Beti and Jedi Master Aidan Bok!
