Chapter 2606 The So-called Natural Enemy

2606: So-called Natural Enemy

Tang Xiao made some casual arrangements and asked Tang Xing to accompany Ender Wiking to visit various attractions on the Dawn Planet.

He was not worried about any problems. First of all, Tang Xing and Tang Yun were his children, but children were not heirs - there were no heirs in the Kingdom of Dawn.

The supreme leader is Tang Xiao, that’s all, there is nothing else and nothing later.

In addition, Tang Xiao was very unhappy with Tang Xing's character. He always believed that as his offspring, even if he was not the heir, he should play an important role in his empire in the future. However, the cowardly Tang Xing was not suitable for making achievements in such an empire surrounded by powerful enemies. On the contrary, because of his weakness, he might become a weapon used by the enemy to attack him.

Therefore, Tang Xiao had already decided to send Tang Xing to the Dusk Covenant to practice when they were about the same age.

Tang Yun, with the help of Edel Wulan, once served as regent and performed well. Even though her character showed the problem of arrogance and domineering early on, Tang Xiao never thought it was a problem. With his power, his daughter was arrogant and domineering? Is this a disadvantage? No, it is an advantage.

Moreover, Tang Yun's Force talent is also very good. Tang Xiao is confident that he can train her and at least make her a governor of a star region. If she performs better, Tang Yun will become the queen second only to him in his empire.

As for Tang Xing, if he doesn't show anything special, he will just live a life of wealth and glory.

This time, Ender Wiggin proposed to play with Tang Xing, but Tang Xiao didn't care. Because this genius training institution was where Tang Xing had received training before. But it was obvious that he didn't meet the standards of a genius, so after checking Tang Xing's grades, Tang Xiao took him back directly.

Therefore, Ender Wiggin and Tang Xing were classmates for a period of time, so it was normal for them to have some friendship.

Tang Xiao was not worried that Tang Xing would affect Ander Wiggin, or vice versa. If that were the case, he would actually look at Tang Xing with new eyes.

As for Tang Yun, after serving as regent and performing well, he has now been personally brought up by Edel Ulan, receiving an elite education according to the queen's standards.

After arranging the journey for Ender Wiggin, Tang Xing and others, Tang Xiao came to the terminal himself to check the game between Ender Wiggin and 'Thrawn' in the simulated combat.

"Your Majesty... these games..." The director of the training center had also seen these games, but even he had no clue about these messy and almost disorganized games and couldn't understand them at all. It was as if this was just a game between a beginner and a cheater.

However, Tang Xiao watched very carefully, closing his eyes from time to time and replaying the thinking of both players in his own mind.

That's right, he was not looking at the situation on the battlefield, he was looking at Ender Wiking's way of thinking.

Immediately, a satisfied smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips - he saw what he wanted to see.

"Your Majesty, could it be that... Ender Wiggin's grades are very good?" The director asked tentatively. After all, he was also the manager here. If Ender Wiggin was appreciated by His Majesty, he would certainly be rewarded.

"What is Thrawn's tactic?" Tang Xiao suddenly asked without thinking. "Uh... this..." The director shook his head, "I don't know..."

"That's right, you don't know." Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "Thrawn's tactics are no tactics. He acts as he pleases and does whatever he wants. But do you think he just does whatever he wants on the battlefield, or just responds to every move? No, not at all. He sees more and farther than ordinary people. So, let me ask you, how is he acting as he pleases and does whatever he wants on the battlefield?"

The director began to sweat on his forehead, "No... I don't know."

"That's right. I don't know either." Tang Xiao repeated, "But I am very sure that no matter you or I, if we confront Thrawn on the battlefield, we will only be led by him by the nose, and then be killed by him when he gets the chance. Because what he sees is not just a battlefield. What he sees... is the soul, life, the collective, the country, and the galaxy. And what he commands is not just the fleet in his hands, but everything that can be used."

"I can't imagine such a scene... Your Majesty." The director wiped the sweat off his face.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "But Ender Wiggin's way of dealing with things is different from ours. In fact, we can see that in the first simulation, he still fought according to the rules, and naturally lost miserably. But then, he began to adjust his battle strategy, and he began to try to predict Thrawn's action pattern, but he also failed."

He scrolled down from Ender Wiggin's initial simulation results line by line, and then said, "Then, Ender Wiggin seemed a little angry. He began to frantically try to crack this simulation program. After losing dozens of games, he finally found the rules of the program and won ten games in a row. But..."

A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips. "But these ten victories calmed him down. He began to realize that although he won, he only defeated the program, not the real Thrawn. Then, he began to modify the simulation program, and crazily increased the difficulty for himself... And, I think the difficulty options he added were not increased randomly, but were increased according to his understanding of Thrawn."

"At this point, the one fighting against him is no longer 'Thrawn', but himself. To be precise, it is his own understanding of the two words 'free and unrestrained'. So, although he keeps losing, it is himself who loses. The reason why he keeps losing is because he keeps getting stronger." Tang Xiao's smile became ferocious, "Thrawn... will never think that I have prepared a... natural enemy for him here!"

Severance Tann was not Tang Xiao's choice. He used Thrawn to spur her on simply because at that time, Tann was the one closest to Thrawn in his opinion. However, when Thrawn actually appeared on the battlefield, Tang Xiao realized that Severance Tann was far from being Thrawn's opponent!
So, at first he refused to let Tann fight.

In Tang Xiao’s mind, the one who could truly fight against Thrawn was never Tann!

……

The capital of the Galactic Empire, the center of the Empire, the underground prison of the Imperial Ministry of National Security.

In a cold cell, loud footsteps were suddenly heard, and an imperial officer came to the cell door with more than a dozen imperial guards in black armor, inserted the password tube, and then entered the password.

The cell door slid open gently, and then the laser barrier dissipated.

A blue-skinned Chiss was sitting in a cell. Even though he was a prisoner, he remained calm and looked dignified.

"Mis-Ro-Nurudo, you have been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. Set off immediately." said the officer.

Thrawn stood up and walked towards the door without saying a word, but a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
