The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 355: Escape successfully! Galen Erso joins the giant company! The Mandalorian!

Paul continued to use the tactic of exhausting Darth Vader's stamina, trying to drag the opponent into a protracted battle.

Because he could see that Wade's physical strength was no longer as sufficient as before.

If Paul delays until the opponent has exhausted all his energy, Paul may not be able to perform an extreme counterattack, but at least he will have a chance to escape safely!

Of course, that's assuming Paul can hold off until then.

Darth Vader's best move is to rely on exquisite swordsmanship to counterattack the opponent's attack, that is, to play defensive counterattack and kill with a deflection.

But this does not mean that he is weak in active offense.

In terms of endurance and agility, Darth Vader is indeed restricted by the heavy power armor and clumsy mechanical limbs.

In order to make up for these two disadvantages, he practiced his offensive moves to the ultimate level of simplicity and power. Once he launched an attack, he could often finish the battle in a short time.

At this point, Darth Vader begins to wield the sword with both hands, marking the moment he enters his prime.

In an instant, Vader's lightsaber swung like a storm, and after switching from one-handed sword-holding mode to two-handed sword-holding mode, he simply stopped pretending.

Each move was powerful and gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression. If Paul relaxed even a little, his limbs would be chopped off instantly.

At first, Paul was able to use his energy shield to withstand a few of Wade's swords, but soon his shield was cracked by the opponent until it completely failed.

When Paul started his dual-sword attack, he was still unable to suppress Darth Vader, let alone now that he could only fight Vader with a single sword.

Soon, Wade rushed forward, with the lightsaber in his hand accurately against Paul's throat, and Paul's whole body froze and he could not move.

Because at such a short distance, Wade could kill Paul at any time with just a little effort.

"You lose, can you come with me?"

Darth Vader said in a cold tone that this was a foregone conclusion for him and there was no chance of any accidents happening along the way, so he had already locked on Paul as his must-win prey.

Paul was also aware that there was a clear gap in strength between himself and Wade, so he didn't expect to defeat the opponent by head-on combat, as long as he could delay a little time, it would be a little better.

"Yeah, I lost, but you lost too!"

During the time when Darth Vader focused his attention on Paul, Megatron had driven the dreadnought to escape the pursuit of the Executor and the Death Star and successfully returned to the team.

Paul never thought from the beginning to the end that he could save the world by himself. Even if he became stronger with the help of spices, he could not fight against a huge group of forces, nor could he overthrow the Galactic Empire.

The only person who can truly lead everyone to victory is Leon, who dominates a global giant!

There is no point in showing off your bravery. You have to use your brain to have the last laugh.

Paul had no intention of competing with Darth Vader, nor did he have the intention of sacrificing himself to protect the Rebel Allies.

Now that the mission has been accomplished, it's time to go back!
The next second, as Paul pressed the switch of the special device, the transforming spaceship suspended outside the Raddus immediately came to the corridor outside the cabin.

Paul's figure also began to slowly become transparent and dim.

This is the effect of the hyperspace transporter. Before leaving the Mantle mothership, Paul also took this transporter with him. As long as he is within a specific distance range, he just needs to press the switch.

He can instantly use teleportation to return to the transforming spacecraft.

"Darth Vader, we'll meet again someday!"

As soon as the words fell, in Wade's astonished eyes, Paul's figure disappeared instantly, and he stabbed out with his sword fiercely, but did not touch anything.

"Do not!!"

Darth Vader's unwilling roar echoed in the battleship's corridors, but it was of no avail. Paul had already activated hyperspace transmission in his transforming spaceship and returned to the dreadnought.

The moment he saw Paul return successfully, David immediately gave the order, and the Dreadnought and the Mantle immediately entered hyperspace and returned to the front-line base at full speed.

While the Executor and the Death Star were still entangled with the Raddus, the entire fleet of the Cosmos Corporation successfully completed its strategic retreat and disappeared into the Scarif galaxy.

At this moment, in front of the central console at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

Seeing the Sojourner Dreadnought finally enter the void of hyperspace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally completed the strategic retreat that Leon had assigned them.

If Paul failed to escape, they would be forced to turn back, forcibly destroy the Death Star and the Executor, and start a war with the Galactic Empire in advance.

In this case, the time left for the Universal Corporation to build the Starkiller Base becomes rather tight.

After all, this means that the giant corporation needs to race against time with the Empire to see who can build more Starkiller Bases first.

Fortunately, things did not develop towards the worst situation, and everything was under Li Ang's control.

"It was really thrilling just now. Fortunately, Paul was smart enough to drag it out until now and escape successfully."

Jack Wells shook his head in a helpless manner. Although he had always been against individual heroism, Paul Atreides had indeed achieved this this time.

He used his personal ability to find the best solution to preserve the overall situation.

"This kid is pretty good. I think he can take over David's job."

Li De also smiled and said.

After witnessing Darth Vader's powerful dark force, all the executives of the giant companies present felt deeply afraid of Vader.

If they had gone up to fight Vader, they would not have been able to delay that long and would have been cut in half by Darth Vader's sword.

Hearing the discussions of his trusted senior executives, Leon remained silent and did not comment. Looking at the entire global giant company, Paul was really the only one who could fight Darth Vader.

Although Megatronus is very powerful, he has never learned any proper supernatural spells and cannot resist Vader's control of the Force, which makes him very passive.

After the development of spices, Paul became the only human warrior in the giant company who was close to the path of "immortality". He was able to resist Vader's Force grip and strong control and fight with the opponent.

But that's all.

In the "Star Wars" universe, the Force, to put it scientifically, is the virtual plane energy that can unify the four fundamental forces.

To put it more abstractly, it is the spiritual energy in the world of immortal cultivation!
The Astartes warriors under the giant corporation can play a good role in fighting alien monsters, but they are completely useless against Darth Vader.

When a mortal body fights against an immortal, the result is naturally self-evident.

This time, only Paul was able to escape from Darth Vader. If it were David, V or other Astartes warriors, it would be impossible for them to survive from Vader.

"Have the Science Hub staff take over the Death Star design data immediately. I want them to start working on the production of Starkiller Base within a month."

"And within three months, produce the first batch of no less than 10 Starkiller Base weapons!"

Leon formally gave orders to Otto Cunningham.

In order to speed up the construction plan of Starkiller Base, he can transfer the giant structure of [Infinite Divine Machine] that is comprehending the laws of the universe.

Cooperate with the work of the Science Hub Department to jointly produce the Starkiller Base. In short, in the next few months, the scientific research and production focus of the giant enterprise will be the Starkiller Base!
As long as the first batch of Starkiller bases are completed, Leon will form a new expeditionary fleet around the Starkillers and compete with the Galactic Empire again.

Complete the unification of the Star Wars galaxy in one go!
"Yes."

Ott Cunningham took over Leon's order and began to instruct Zuma, Dr. Halsey, Qiansihu and other senior executives of the research department to jointly launch the Starkiller Project.

On the other side, thanks to the mediation of Paul and Darth Vader, Vader, who was unable to cope with all the tasks, could only take the Executor to continue chasing the escaped Tantive IV.

If everything develops according to the original plot, Princess Leia, who is on the Tantive IV spacecraft, will meet her brother Luke the Chosen One on the way.

The true Destiny Child of the Star Wars Universe!
However, these things have nothing to do with the global giant enterprise for the time being. What they need to do now is to actively prepare for war.

Before Palpatine could react, Starkiller Base was built, and the Empire's inferior Death Star was attacked with superior equipment to force the Galactic Empire to surrender.

On this side, when the Dreadnought successfully returned to the front-line base carrying Paul and Megatron, soldiers such as Pani and Sam, who had rescued Galen Erso with the rebels, also completed their mission and returned triumphantly.

The two brothers also brought back the designer of the Death Star, Galen Erso, and all the members of the Rogue One team, intending to recruit them into the Megacorp camp.

If Galen Erso joins, the construction of Starkiller Base will only be faster!

Soon, when Galen Erso and other members of the rebel army saw that the vicinity of Megacorp's front-line base was filled with giant ships, Transformers version of the "War Moon" megastructures, and warriors of various races.

They only felt that they were in a dream, especially Galen Erso, who was shocked and blurted out when he saw the Moon of War:

"The Starkiller Project is only 20% short of completion, how come it's already completed!"

As the core designer of Starkiller Base, Galen Erso naturally knew the progress of the Starkiller project.

It was not until the staff of the global giant explained to them for a long time that they knew the whole story.

At this time, the Universal Corporation and the Rebel Alliance can be considered allies standing on the same front, so there is no need to hide anything too much.

At this moment, the Rebel Alliance was still a struggling resistance army, and they had just started their uprising and had not been able to attract sponsors. The angel fund from the giant company just solved their urgent needs. Moreover, after experiencing the Battle of Scarif and sharing intelligence with each other, the two sides had initially established a friendship and reached a consensus on interests.

After learning about the technological strength of the Cosmic Giant Corporation and its magnificent achievements in conquering multiple universes, Galen Erso could not help but exclaimed:

"What an amazing super civilization group! With your strength and background, even the Galactic Empire cannot be your opponent!"

Although the Empire does occupy the entire galaxy of the Star Wars universe, rules over trillions of civilized species, and even achieves the unification of the Old Republic and the Sith Empire.

But Palpatine's monopoly of power and unified control of the galaxy's resources angered too many interest groups.

In addition, Palpatine only promised a small number of groups and wrote them sky-high checks, but ignored and sacrificed the interests of the vast majority of the old power groups.

This made him a lonely man with no one to support him.

If it were a global giant company, Li Ang's working principle would be that there is food for everyone to eat, and how much to eat and how much to get depends entirely on personal ability.

If there is not enough food, Boss Li can open a dungeon at any time and take guild members to the dungeon to fight monsters and earn gold coins together, expand into new territories, and continue to divide the resources and benefits.

That's why Galen Erso was so moved and astonished when he saw that the Universe Corporation had built such a giant enterprise spanning the multiverse in less than a hundred years.

In their Star Wars universe, whether it is the corrupt and bureaucratic Old Republic or the terrifying and dictatorial Galactic Empire.

Neither of these political systems can lead the entire galaxy's civilization to achieve friendly, peaceful, and sustainable common development.

Even the Rebel Alliance is merely taking a step backwards in history, re-establishing the previous republic to satisfy the interests of the old powerful.

The ultimate result is that the civil war in the galaxy will never stop, and it will end up in chaos and devastation.

And this is indeed the case.

In the later stages of the development of the Star Wars universe, the confrontation between the New Republic and the First Order was a dog-eat-dog war, with no distinction between justice and evil at all.

The carnivorous group, who are fighting to the death at the dinner table, don't care about the lives of civilians at all. The galaxy, which is constantly burning with war, is becoming weak and exhausted.

This eventually led to a massive invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong from outside the galaxy, exacerbating the Milky Way's transformation into a hellish hell.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, whichever side wins the final victory, what will be left for the galactic civilization will only be endless war.

Now the only person who can change all this and save the Star Wars universe and galaxy is the governor of the universe giant company - Leon!
When he saw that Leon had the unique ability to rule the Reaper civilization, the Star Alliance, the major families of Dune, the Cybertronians, and to win over various cosmic civilizations with the world trade circle.

Galen Erso was very aware of how terrifying Leon's ability to integrate resources was. This was the political realm that Palpatine had always dreamed of and wanted to achieve!
A person who can use different ethnic civilizations and power groups for his own benefit is destined to be an extraordinary monarch.

At this moment, Galen Erso understood that the only hope for all civilizations in the Milky Way was to hold on to the giant corporation.

Soon, he gladly accepted the invitation from the Science Hub of a global giant enterprise and solemnly promised: "I am willing to do my best for the giant enterprise and devote everything I have!"

"Welcome to join the ranks of the world's giant companies."

Qiansihu, one of the senior executives of the scientific research department responsible for receiving Galen Erso, said happily.

With Galen's joining, the giant enterprise's scientific hub's mining of the Death Star's energy core and the research and development progress of the Starkiller Base can be accelerated again.

The Death Star design drawings that Paul brought back included information on the unfinished Starkiller Base, which enabled Galen Erso to quickly complete the remaining technical details.

Otherwise, relying on his brain memory, it would be impossible for him to complete all the technical information points of Starkiller Base in such a short time.

Paul Atreides, who had made great contributions, was sent to the Night City Medical Center as soon as he returned to the headquarters. He was forced into a dormant state and urgently repaired all the injuries on his body.

Paul participated in the Battle of Jedha City, the Battle of Scarif, and the duel with Darth Vader in succession. Both external and internal injuries were already all over his body.

So everyone had no time to celebrate for Paul. They immediately sent him to Victor so that Paul could heal his injuries and rest for a while.

……

……

Two months later, at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, the command center.

Li Ang, who had just issued a series of instructions, had not had time to rest for a few minutes before he opened his eyes again and focused his attention on the coordination tasks of various departments.

Although most of the affairs do not require Li Ang's personal intervention, inspecting the work of various departments has become a habit for Li Ang over the years.

Thanks to the transcendental AI Europa, which monitors employees in various departments of the giant company around the clock, Le Ang can check the situation in various dimensions of the universe at any time.

It can even be as specific as a production room in a factory on a certain planet!

'Fortunately, everything is going according to plan.'

After checking that there were no hidden dangers in the core projects of each department, Li Ang felt a little relieved.

These days, the main projects that the various departments of the Universal Corporation are responsible for are to build the Starkiller Base, secretly contact old senators of the Old Republic, the Trade Federation, and bribe public officials within the Empire.

Of course, Leon would not expect that the power he gained through promises and bribes would bring him much strength to fight against the Galactic Empire.

He did this for only one purpose, which was to make these people surrender to the Universal Corporation without any worries after the Corporation defeated the Galactic Empire.

Helping whoever wins is a behavioral habit engraved into the underlying genes of every civilized species. Li Ang greeted this group of people in advance to facilitate the subsequent exchange of interests.

In this regard, the combo routine used by Leon was exactly the same as Palpatine's back then, so the powerful and influential people who knew the whole thing consciously stood in the middle and watched the show.

They are very familiar with this process.

Of course, the current Universal Corporation has not yet had direct dialogue and communication with the Galactic Empire. Leon is still trying his best to stay dormant in the dark, ready to deal a ruthless blow to the empire.

When Palpatine's situation was hopeless, it was time for him to show up and conquer this top politician.

"Boss, everything is calm over there. No signs of invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong civilization have been observed. In addition..."

At this time, Secretary General Lucy came to the central console and reported Li De's news on the hard light screen in front of Li Ang.

"Reed successfully helped the Mandalorians to launch an uprising in Mandalore. The local Imperial Supervisor Suprima has been killed. Reed has taken full control of Mandalore!"

The good news reported by Lucy instantly refreshed the slightly tired Leon. This was the best news he had received in the past sixty days.

The Mandalorians have a long and storied history.

The early Mandalorians were called the Taungs. They fought a huge war with humans for the city of Coruscant and for who would dominate the sovereignty of the galaxy.

The end result was that humans won, and the Mandalorians left the stage in disgrace, drifting around the galaxy and living the life of wanderers.

From the era of the Old Republic to the era of the Empire, the Mandalorians have basically fought against all the civilized forces in the galaxy. Even the Jedi Order, which many civilizations dared not provoke, have been beaten by the Mandalorians.

During the battle with the Jedi Knights, they also ingeniously created Beskar armor that could withstand lightsaber attacks!
Although the Jedi Knights had the last laugh, they also paid a heavy price.

Relying on their fighting ability, all forces in the galaxy dare not provoke the Mandalorians easily, and the Mandalorians have also found a main business that suits them best in the long-term development of their tribe.

Being a bounty hunter!

However, in the Imperial era, in order to prevent the Mandalorians who violated the law by force from causing trouble, Palpatine ordered severe punishment and supervision of the Mandalorian tribe.

The Empire turned the entire planet of Mandalore into a slave trading center and traded the Mandalorians like slaves. The Mandalorians were now living a miserable life.

"very good!"

After reading the news report sent by Li De, Li Ang clenched his fists excitedly, and the excitement in his heart showed on his expression.

The Mandalorians during this period were living the most miserable and humble life since the birth of their entire tribe.

It is even worse than when they were defeated by humans and wandered around the galaxy.

At this time, the world's giant corporation will provide timely assistance to the Mandalorians, and they will get a new force with extremely strong fighting power for free!
They have accumulated deep resentment towards the Galactic Empire and all they need is a suitable opportunity to revolt and completely overthrow the Galactic Empire that is persecuting the Mandalorian tribe.

Now that opportunity has arrived!
"Boss, are the Mandalorians some kind of powerful tribal species? You seem very excited."

Lucy felt a little confused. She hadn't seen Leon so happy in a long time.

If the Mandalorians were really that powerful, how could they have fallen into such a tragic situation of being bought and sold like slaves by the Empire?

“The Mandalorians may not be the most powerful force in the Star Wars universe, but they are the most critical force we can win over.”

Li Ang smiled calmly.

The Mandalorians lived up to expectations when it came to fighting. In the original story, when the Milky Way was invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong, the Mandalorians were one of the few forces that could defeat them.

But now it is not unfair for them to lose to the Galactic Empire with Darth Vader.

After all, with Darth Vader's level of combat power, even looking at the entire history of the "Star Wars" universe, few people can definitely defeat him.
