Two days later, Rhen Var.
Anakin Skywalker stood in the middle of the Bravo Base, looking at the Republic Soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield outside. Those Soldiers sort out the Droid wreckage all over the ground and then use Bulldozers to gather all the Droid wreckage together, and then there will be garbage dealers coming to take these things back for recycling.
On the other side, some people were driving SCVs to remove the goods stored in the Base Warehouse, and a few people were even dismantling the Communication Antennas on the top of the Base.
A Republic Officer came to Anakin and asked with some doubts: "General, what are these people here for?"
Anakin Skywalker shook his head and had no choice but to say casually: "Materials are being transferred, this Base is no longer valuable."
"I...I understand..." The Officer nodded suspiciously.
"Did you find the result of the scan I asked you to do?" Anakin asked again.
"There is a natural underground cave to the north of the Base, but no abnormal energy response was found in the scan..." the Officer replied.
"Just tell me where the entrance is."
...
Half an hour later, Anakin Skywalker came to the natural cave entrance, which was exactly where Count Dooku had entered a few days ago.
The Tomb of Ulic Qel-Droma, the former Sith Lord who returned to the Light in his final moments.
When he came to reinforce Rhen Var before, he felt that something was wrong with this Planet, and even when Count Dooku would send a Million Troops to occupy it, only then did he really start to take it seriously.
Through his powerful Force, he sensed a different aura here, and he began to suspect that this aura was the reason why Count Dooku dispatched an Army to occupy this place.
However, he couldn't repel the Army of Millions of Droids, and the best thing he could do was to evacuate part of the Republic's Army that was able to cover the Bravo Base to preserve its strength.
After that, Anakin has always been worried about this Planet, but when he applied to the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic for the Military to send reinforcements to recover Rhen Var, he was rejected.
Rhen Var does not have much strategic value, and now the offensive of the Confederacy of Independent Systems has expanded to several major Hyperspace Lanes, and Blockers have been set up to limit Hyperspace Jumps. The Tion Trade Route closest to Rhen Var has been cut off, and the Republic has no ability to deploy Troops here on a large scale.
So there was no way, so Obi-Wan Kenobi had no choice but to go to the Headquarters of the 11th Legion of the Republic on Korphir for reinforcements. Before leaving, he told Anakin to be calm and wait for him to bring reinforcements.
But Anakin couldn't wait any longer. The Force told him that a huge threat was spreading, and the starting point was Rhen Var!
So he did not hesitate to find the Arms Dealer Yuri Orlov, even if he used illegal means, he got a large number of Weapons, and then led the surrounding Local Defense Forces and the remnants of Bravo Base, all the way back to Rhen Var.
Under his brave and fearless battle, the Separatist Droids on Rhen Var were finally wiped out, and he finally had the opportunity to go to the cave to find out the truth of the matter.
The Force Ghost of Ulic Qel-Droma was disturbed again. He floated out of the coffin and asked in that empty voice: "Looking for me, do you want something?"
"There was a man named Dooku before, did he come here? What did he take away from here? I want to know." Anakin Skywalker looked at the burly Force Ghost in front of him and asked.
"Oh, that's a Jedi Master, because the remnants of the Sith Empire have been revived, he wants to destroy that Dark Weapon completely so that it won't be obtained by those who don't deserve it," Droma replied.
"No! You were fooled! Dooku himself is a Sith Lord! He betrayed the Jedi Order and started a Civil War across the entire Galaxy!" Anakin said eagerly.
However, Droma's Force Ghost seemed very calm, "Maybe, but this is not a completely bad thing, at least it gives you a chance to completely destroy this thing, and make this evil and taboo thing disappear forever."
"What is it?"
"The Dark Reaper, a Powerful Weapon of the Dark Side."
Anakin was silent for a while and said: "Please tell me everything about this weapon. This thing cannot be obtained by the separatists anyway! Otherwise, the galaxy will be ruined."
Droma's Force Ghost fell silent again, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The knowledge you are looking for is very powerful, Young Jedi, you must use it carefully, otherwise, it will drag you into the abyss of the Dark Side."
"I'm not afraid." Anakin Skywalker was extremely firm.
"No, you should be afraid. I used to think that I was strong enough to resist the temptation of the Dark Side, but I was wrong. I don't want you to go on the same path as me." Droma said earnestly.
"This is a test I must go through, and I cannot fail, because if I fail, countless lives will be lost." Anakin Skywalker said.
...
More than an hour later, Anakin Skywalker walked out of the cave, and at this moment his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
The Communicator rang, and Obi-Wan Kenobi's angry voice came from inside, "Anakin! What the hell is going on with you!! Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Why did you launch a counterattack on Rhen Var without permission?"
"I saved Ren-Val, Master, and I may save many more," said Anakin.
"Is this why you went to contact Yuri Orlov in private? I know this person, he is very cunning and dangerous, he was the one who ignited the Civil War on Cerea before! You can't get involved with him!! ' cried Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Anakin's voice suddenly rose, "Is it just waiting for you to find reinforcements so slowly? Do you know what Count Dooku got on Rhen Var? The Dark Reaper! A Super Weapon of the Ancient Sith Empire! If you don't stop him as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will die under this Super Weapon!"
"That's no excuse for your misconduct, Anakin. You're blatantly disregarding the Jedi Order's Creed, and it's making you tempted by the Dark Side!" Obi-Wan snapped.
Anakin took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "My heart is extremely firm, Master... I will always believe in the Light and remain firm."
Obi-Wan sighed, "Tell me, what did you find?"
"The Dark Reaper is divided into two parts. One is the Force Harvester. This powerful device will directly extract and store The Force of all living beings in the surrounding Hundreds of Kilometers. The other part is the Dark Reaper... ...It will focus on the collected Force and emit a Beam that can kill and destroy everything in its range...We must stop Count Dooku!" Anakin said.
"We must report this news to the Republic." Obi-Wan became serious.
"There is no time to wait for the Republic to react. As far as I know, a coup is breaking out on Christophsis, and most of the Republic's energy is directed in that direction. But time is running out, the Dark Reaper must be destroyed, we must start now!"
