Chapter 479: Rebel Army

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wesley’s analysis caught the attention of the Council of Elders, and Obi-Wan Kenobi began to look for clues based on intelligence. A planet on the edge of the Alliance star system caught his attention, and he went directly to the Temple to look for information in the Jedi’s library.

However, in the library records, a planet that should have existed disappeared. As the manager of the library, Mrs. Jocasta Nu said that the information was complete. The puzzled Obi-Wan Kenobi could only ask Master Yoda for advice.

Master Yoda gave him the simplest answer, which was that it had been deleted, so Obi-Wan Kenobi set out directly to find it himself. Wesley did not pay much attention to this. He was now practicing telekinesis, and Wesley took the matter of regaining control of the power of the space gem very seriously.

In the past, he had at most used the energy of the space gem to release a large amount of energy to open a space door and pass through it. He used too much energy, and the other aspects were handed over to Apple.

If anything went wrong with the Jedi, they would come for him, and that would not be for long. Wesley’s estimate was correct. A few days after Obi-Wan Kenobi left, Wesley was taken to the presbytery again.

He had become a regular here. “I wonder why you called me here this time?” Wesley asked.

“Yes, there are indeed some problems now, about the army. Master Kenobi found a planet with intelligent life on it, and they are making an army of clones. Two hundred thousand have been completed, and a million are being built.” Master Yoda said it with great difficulty, which proved that Wesley’s deduction was correct, and there was a big problem with the current Speaker.

“Oh, let me guess. This much army has been completed and was formed by clones. Then it was ordered at least ten years ago. It is basically the same as my inference, right?”

“That’s right. Master Kenobi is still pursuing it and trying to come back with clues, but we can’t be sure now. We need your advice.”

“Isn’t that obvious? The army is the key. Now, no matter what the Chancellor is like, the Jedi must hold the army in their hands, especially the clone army. Their first command must be to obey the Jedi Council of Elders. Otherwise, once they lose control, the consequences are unimaginable.”

“Fair enough…”

“We really should do that…”

The elders began to discuss among themselves. They were hesitant to master the army, Master Yoda. They could command the army, but that was the wartime system, and what did it mean to the Jedi to always have the army?

Wesley seemed to sense his hesitation, and then said, “I can understand your concern, but the Jedi can’t always be the same. You still need to move with the times. No doctrine is always right. Times are changing, and some things have to change. The key is whether there is enough wisdom. And I am very willing to believe that the Jedi have enough wisdom to deal with everything.”

“Brilliant. I have to say that what you said is brilliant. It is a new way out for the Jedi. Now we need to wait for the last information Master Kenobi gets before making the final decision. But there is one thing we can do first. Send out the news that the Jedi must control the army and let Senator Padmé Amidala finally propose a proposal.” Master Yoda’s momentum suddenly became fierce.

Everything was beginning to look different. Master Yoda had come to a terrible conclusion based on some of Wesley’s remarks. The Jedi were in extreme danger. Why? Because if the Speaker wanted to control the army, he would have to do something, and the Jedi were his stumbling block. They would be kicked out of the way. The Jedi had no way out.

Master Yoda, who had become so fierce, stunned all the Jedi Masters present. Then they fell silent. What made Master Yoda, who was hundreds of years old, do this was not a good thing, but the crisis of the Jedi.

Wesley had been left behind to live directly on the top floor. He could ask questions about his cultivation while waiting for news from Master Kenobi.

Master Kenobi tracked the prototype provider of the clone army all the way to an unfamiliar planet. Here, he discovered the fleet of the Trade Federation and sneaked in alone. Here, he found Sir Duke.

Sir Duke used to be a Jedi Knight, but he quit. He was very powerful. Kenobi saw a robot army in constant production here. The assembly line kept moving, and the number of robot armies was increasing.

He heard an even more shocking news here. The business guilds, the corporate alliance, the trade alliance, the technology federation, and the banking group will join forces. If they sign an agreement, tens of thousands of planets will join them. The parliament of the Republic will exist in name only, and the army they form will be invincible.

At the same time, the governor of the Trade Federation had been asking to kill Senator Padmé Amidala. Kenobi hurriedly sent the news back to the Council of Elders and the meeting was held again.

“Wesley, now the one who intends to kill the congressman is the Governor of the Trade Union. These have nothing to do with the Speaker. Are we wrong?” Mace Windu asked.

“Is it stupid for an alliance organization with the intention of subverting the Republic to want to assassinate members who oppose the establishment of an army?” Wesley asked in return, and the elders pondered.

“Master Kenobi should not have heard wrongly.”

“It’s a plan. I think we can solve everything once we catch Sir Duke, right? And he’s a rebel now. It’s not a problem for the Jedi to directly dispatch and destroy them. At the same time, we can arrest Sir Duke and interrogate him, directly lead him to the mastermind behind the scenes. Everything will be much simpler.”

“It makes sense, but their fleet is there with a large robot army. If the Jedi attack, we might not be able to take them down,” Mace Windu said worriedly.

Wesley, on the other hand, laughed. “There’s no difficulty. Won’t it be fine for Master Yoda to come forward and directly receive the clone army? Even if the council has no reason to object, and I don’t think anyone will be worried if the army is handed over to the Jedi for the time being. At the same time, Master Yoda can set an order for the clone army to ensure that any variables in the future will not endanger the Jedi and the Republic, right?”

“Very good idea. Master Mace Windu, you are in charge of leading the Jedi to the rebel base. I will personally receive the clone army. We will meet there and ask Sir Wesley to take action and directly capture Duke.”

“No problem.”
