Chapter 374: One Shot, Two Scattered

At the same time that the Fourth Civilization is holding a comprehensive war preparation meeting, and the Galactic Senate has just elected a new Supreme Chancellor, another major change has taken place in the Jedi Order, another power core of the Galactic Republic.

Master Dooku came here suddenly after not appearing in the Jedi Temple for a long time and broke into the tower of the Jedi High Council directly without courtesy.

Now the Jedi High Council is meeting to discuss the future direction of the Jedi Order after Speaker Palpatine took office, and was caught off guard by Master Dooku's sudden intrusion.

"Mace Windu!! You must give me an explanation!!" Master Dooku was like a lion. Although his voice was not loud, he gritted his teeth and said every word, and anger seemed to burst out of his eyes.

"I don't know what I need to explain, but you need to understand that rushing into the venue when the High Council is in session is a major violation for a Jedi Master." Master Mace Windu said coldly.

"Why did my apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn die on Planet Naboo!? You must give me an explanation!" Master Dooku roared.

"Master Qui-Gon Jinn escorted Queen Amidala back to Planet Naboo, dismantled the conspiracy of the Trade Federation, and fought against the Sith Lord who suddenly appeared to the end, unfortunately, died heroically. He is a hero of the Jedi Order, even the hero of the entire Galactic Republic! Why should I explain to you the deeds of a hero?" Master Windu confronted each other without retreating a single step.

Master Dooku stepped in front of Master Windu with a stride, and asked fiercely: "Why are you only sending Qui-Gon Jinn and the others to such a big dispute on Planet Naboo!! And the Yinchorri? The same is true for the second time! Both times, only two Jedi knights were sent to very dangerous places to resolve disputes. Are you borrowing a knife to kill people, Master Windu?"

"The purpose of the Jedi Knights is peace, not war! What happened to the Kaleesh people has proved that our behavior at that time was a mistake but, do you want the Jedi Knights to become a powerful organization?" Master Windu said coldly said. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"The first time Qui-Gon Jinn came back from Tatooine, he reported that a Sith Lord was hunting for him! Then why did you only send the two of them the second time?" Master Dooku asked.

"Because it's against the rules. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum didn't pass the resolution issued by the Senate but in a private capacity. In this matter, our Jedi Order has no position to formally intervene." Master Windu replied.

"Is this why you sent one disobedient Jedi after another to their death? Mace Windu!" Master Dooku roared.

He has been full of doubts about the actions of the Jedi Knights since the Battle of Galidraan when the Jedi Knights intervened in the Mandalorian Civil War, and the turmoil in the end of the Republic has aggravated his doubts.

In the end, when the news of his Apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn's death on Planet Naboo came, he blamed the incident on the corruption and rigidity of the Jedi Order, and finally drew a clean line from the Jedi Order.

As one of the most outstanding Jedi Knights in hundreds of years, Master Dooku's departure is also considered a heavy loss for the Jedi Order. After that, the Jedi Knights cast a bronze head for him, which was kept in the Jedi Knight Library and placed side by side with 19 other bronze statues.

These are Jedi Masters who have fallen or left for various reasons, also known as the "Lost Twenty".

...

Three days after the Droid Control Ship of the Trade Federation was destroyed, the new Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate, Sheev Palpatine, led the core members of the Council to Planet Naboo for an official visit.

Under the leadership of Master Yoda and Master Windu, the Jedi Order also visited Planet Naboo.

Theed, the capital of Planet Naboo, held a grand celebration ceremony to celebrate this decisive victory. During the celebration, Queen Amidala, the ruler of Humans on Naboo, and Rugor Nass, the ruler of the Gungans, jointly announced the decision to form an Alliance between Humans and the Gungans. They will live together in a good-neighborly attitude.

And as one of the symbols of peace, the Human regime on Planet Naboo agreed that the Gungans would go to Ohma-D'un, the colonial planet of Planet Naboo, to establish settlements and live together.

Afterwards, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine presented the Nebula Trophy representing peace to the leader of the Gungan High Council Rugor Nass and officially accepted the Gungans as part of the Republic, and Jar Ja Binks was elected as Gungan people representative.

That night, the grand funeral of Master Qui-Gon Jinn who died in this battle was held in the suburbs of Theed City. Master Yoda, Master Windu, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Queen Amidala, Rugor Nass and others all attended the funeral, and they deeply remembered the Jedi Master who used his life to bring peace to Planet Naboo.

After this day, both Planet Naboo and the Galactic Republic will open a new chapter.
