Chapter 620: Asajj Ventress
"My Lord, I have found a person who has fallen into darkness. She is powerful, angry, and full of hatred for the Jedi Order. I think she should be my assistant and a sharp blade for us to destroy the Jedi Order." Count Dooku knelt on one knee and reported to Darth Sidious in the Holographic Projection.
"Blade... Jie Jie Jie Jie..." Sidious laughed wryly, "This reminds me of a dead man, Darth Maul. I also called him, 'Blade', In front of my Teacher."
Count Dooku noticed that here he used Teacher instead of Master, and the meaning contained in it was very different.
"Forgive me, my Lord. What kind of person is your... Teacher?" Count Dooku asked cautiously.
"He is the most powerful, most knowledgeable, and wisest Sith Lord I have ever seen, but at the same time... the stupidest one." Darth Sidious said slowly, "He put all his energy into devoting himself to the study of the nature of The Force, and he tried to list the essence of the Force one by one like a mathematical formula. Obviously, this is a wrong path, but it can't stop him from becoming extremely powerful."
He glanced down at Count Dooku, and said, "He was obsessed with studying Immortality, but he forgot the most important thing in the way of Sithrevenge! So, I killed him. After all, you should know him ."
"Please enlighten me, Lord." Count Dooku said respectfully.
"Hego Damask II is Darth Plagueis... Jie Jie Jie Jie..." Darth Sidious laughed.
"It's unimaginable that the most important patron of our great cause is also a great Sith lord." Count Dooku praised.
"He has become the past, and now the Galaxy is our stage!" Darth Sidious opened his hands with a grim expression, "Okay, train your 'sharp blade' well. But you should be clear, she is only your Assistant, not your Apprentice. The Sith rule of two cannot be trampled on! Otherwise, I will do it myself to ensure that my Apprentice...only one... Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
"I will keep it in my heart." Count Dooku replied with a bow.
"Let Ventress assassinate Anakin Skywalker and prove her ability! Of course, I don't care about the result of this mission." After Sidious finished speaking, he turned off the communication with his hand.
Since her Master Ky Narec was killed, she lived in anger and hatred every day. She attributed the death of her Master to the Jedi Order. Naturally, she also blamed the Jedi Order's sworn enemy The Sith Lord.
She has always regarded herself as a Sith Lord, but now, there is actually a powerful Sith Lord who is willing to let her become an Apprentice, how can this not make her ecstatic?
However, Ventress didn't notice the cold sarcasm in Count Dooku's eyes. She didn't notice that even though Count Dooku did say that he would teach her the way of Darkness, he also gave her the Lightsaber that had been from his Apprentice. Everything hinted at the identity of her being his Apprentice, but in fact, from the beginning to the end, Count Dooku never really said such words.

Christophsis, July 17.
The battle on the Planet has become increasingly fierce. As the Droid Army commanded by Whorm Loathsom continues to advance to the Capital Crystal City, Chaleydonia, the Government of Christophsis is also in danger.
The only good news is that the 500 Clone Troopers led by Alderaan Senator Bail Organa are holding on to the dangerous area of the eastern suburbs, dragging down the pace of the Droid Army.
These 500 Soldiers displayed Unmatched Combat Skills and Fearless Spirit and created an unimaginable Military miracle, and because of their brave resistance, it also gave the Christophsian Planetary Government some breathing time, and Marccrai began to mobilize some Militia Troops to strengthen the defense.
At the same time, the conflict between the Christophsians and the Kerkoidens on the Planet has intensified. Armed demonstrations and conflicts broke out between the two sides. In order to take into account the political situation, Whorm Loathsom also had to divide his Troops into various places to support the Kerkoiden Civilians.
The advantage of the population of 35 Billion on Christophsis began to stand out. It has been a week since the battle started, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems still failed to take down the largest Cities including Chaleydonia.
The Republic has not been idle either. Governor Byluir of the 13th Legion "Iron Lance Command" belonging to the Defense Zone of Christophsis has begun to assemble a Fleet to break through the blocked Corellian Trade Spine forcefully.
In view of this situation, Whorm Loathsom had to ask the Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, Passel Argente, for help, asking for more reinforcements, especially Heavy Equipment.
