Anakin and Padmé were no longer running, and there was no way to do so, for the two of them had now reached their destination, and had taken refuge in the darkness in such a relatively sturdy Tatooine Sandman domed house.

Then, after an afternoon of worrying about it, Padmé was finally relieved that he had no longer worried about being dried alive by the heat and dry wind on that damn killer hoverbike.

Of course, that didn't matter, because Padmé just wanted to be able to drink a big glass of water right now! Even if she was going to die, even if she would have her head cut off by those bounty hunters and soaked in a glass jar to collect for some goddamn Trade Alliance Governor, she just wanted to drink it well and gulply before she died!

It's a pity......

There is nothing here!

When she first rushed in, she had already noticed that there was nothing in this village...... No water, no food, no sandmen, no 'friends' as Anakin spoke! It's a village that's been abandoned for a while, and what's worse: she and Anakin have been besieged by the bounty hunters, and the outcome is likely to be the kind that they can't run away from?

"Anakin?"

"What about those friends you just mentioned, why is there no one here, I don't see anything?!"

After sitting down, the thirsty Padmé felt more and more uneasy.

Because she knew that they were now completely surrounded by at least two hundred elite bounty hunters, and some of the friends who lived here who could help the two of them as Anakin said before were not here at all! It's just a ruined village that has been abandoned for a long time, and there's really nothing left but them and the enemies who have completely surrounded it outside.

So, in the midst of exhaustion, endless fear and chill suddenly began to come over her, and she couldn't help but shrink back into what seemed to be the bed of the sandmen, as if that would give her a sense of security.

"Hey!"

"I'm still here!"

Anakin took Padmé's face, which was beginning to turn a little pale and his lips were beginning to dry out, and then looked at each other for a long time before he asked:

"Listen, Padmé, look me in the eye, yes, look me in the eye...... I ask you, will you trust me? ”

“……”

"Yes!"

After a while, Padmé nodded and recovered, his face looked a little better, and the sad look on his face also subsided a lot.

"Good!"

"I'm going out to deal with them now, and you're just waiting here, and don't go anywhere until I get back, okay?"

Without waiting for the other to say anything, Anakin leaned over and kissed the other person deeply, and then without waiting for the other person to respond, he quickly let go and walked straight out the door.

“……”

“！！”

"Wait! Anakin I'm with you!! ”

Finally, after a while, Padmé came to his senses, and subconsciously wanted to break out of the house that he didn't know which sand man belonged to, and many of the things inside looked new and not covered in much dust.

“！？”

"Hey! Anakin! What are you doing here?! ”

However, soon, as soon as Padmé opened the curtain door, he found that this small house seemed to have been blocked by Anakin with a boulder?

"Hello?"

She tried to push, but found that she couldn't push at all, and seeing that there was no window or anything like anything in this domed house, and when she couldn't get a response to her shouting, her feet softened, and she softened directly on the floor of the house full of yellow sand, and waited helplessly in the dark.

"Anakin ......"

She didn't choose to scream, because she knew that Anakin must have chosen someone to deal with the vicious bounty hunters...... Because he was a powerful Jedi, and she was just an ordinary woman, her previous status as a queen or her current status as a senator could not help him at all, so he chose to face it alone and fight to protect her?

So......

As she collapsed on the ground, she began to pray silently, praying that her samurai would destroy the enemies and return safely, that the impossible miracle would happen to them, that it would be her hero who would push the boulder that blocked the doorway, and not the thugs who would smirk and rush in to capture or cut off her head!

Padmae's worries and prayers Anakin didn't know, so, after using the Force to control a heavy rock to pan over and completely block the abandoned house of the sandman, making sure that Padmé inside couldn't come out and make a mess or see something he shouldn't see, he took a few steps into the darkness ahead, then stood still, and whispered into a pair of reddish eyes that began to appear in the darkness:

"Swarm No. 1 ......"

"It's been so many days, how is this base in Tatooine developing now?"

Anakin paid no more attention to Padmé, who was stuck in his house, or the bounty hunters who were surrounding and searching their village in the distance, and just looked at the tall, strong creature called the Stinging Serpent in front of him with admiration.

'Report the great master of Anakin......

'The No. 1 swarm is developing normally, and in the cave at the bottom of this canyon, we have successfully hatched the hatchery, the red snake's lair, and the splitting tank, and the area covered by the fungus blanket has already spread to almost hundreds of thousands of square meters......

"But master, the resources of this planet are too poor, and I'm afraid Swarm One can't grow to the size of Swarm Zero......

This unusual stinging snake spoke in that particular syllable of 'hiss', in a language that only Anakin could understand.

"Good!"

"What about the current state of the force?"

Anakin didn't care about the development of the swarm, because he knew that they would adapt to their environment and overcome all kinds of difficulties to develop themselves, he just had to give orders and wait for the results.

'Hiss......'

'Not counting the larvae and worker bees, there are more than 1,000 jumping worms, and more than 500 stinging snakes have hatched, and the queen who leads the No. 1 swarm is hatching, and it may take a long time......

"...... so"

"Is the current total strength only more than fifteen hundred?"

"Humph!"

"More than a thousand should be enough, you have also seen, there are two hundred to three hundred bounty hunters out there now, are you sure to completely eliminate them?!"

Although the development is slow due to lack of resources, Anakin is very relieved to be able to grow from a larva as thick as a finger to its current size in less than half a month!

After all, compared to the environment in Coruscant's underground, Tatooine was still a little too difficult here, and with the corpses of those sand people at that time could develop to the extent they are now, he was not satisfied.

'The host ......'

'It's simple for the biter, it's very simple......

"Good!"

"Within an hour, I want you to end the battle, and none of those enemies will be left!"

"Wait!"

"Capture one of their leaders, I need to interrogate them...... But try not to make too much of a fuss, and don't give them any chance to escape, understand?! ”

Anakin said grimly.

Half a month ago, he slaughtered the entire tribe of the sandfolk here with the power of one person, and now, he wanted to see if his No. 1 swarm could satisfy him and kill all those who dared to hunt him and Padmé?

'Hiss......'

'Received ......'

'Great Anakin master, we'll arrange it now...... In less than an hour, at most a few moments, you can see the results. ’

‘……’

With that, the stinging snake bowed its head slightly and saluted Anakin, then slowly retreated, and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night, as if it had never appeared.

"Really?"

"I'm going to look forward to it......"

Anakin, who has not really understood the true strength of the swarm, is a little noncommittal, but he is still looking forward to the first battle of the swarm! And now, those powerful bounty hunters, some of whom are not even inferior to the average Jedi, are sure to be good test subjects.

……

The bounty hunters didn't realize what they were up against, still greedily staring at the two green figures above the life detector and groping their way forward.

There was no doubt that in their opinion, a Jedi apprentice and a former queen of Nabu who had little ability to resist, and probably even had no weapons, would definitely not be able to escape their roundup! And now, the reason why they are still cautious is only because they are worried about accidental injuries and the Jedi Knight's death-defying counterattack.

They are here to make a lot of money, and now that they have an absolute chance of winning, no one wants to lose their lives here easily in this situation.

‘！？ ’

'What's wrong?' ’

'The one that just jumped over, what's that?!!' ’

'What do you see?' ’

'I don't know ......'

'Damn! There is no response on the detector, their two guys are still ahead, don't mess up the formation! Fast! Keep searching and don't let the guys on the other side get ahead of you! ’

'Yes! ’

‘……’

After a group of Mandalorian bounty hunters paused for a moment to make sure there were no anomalies on the detectors, and that their targets were still in the middle of the village without moving too much, they began to cover each other again, ready to work together to capture the most valuable and important target, and kill the Jedi Knight by the way?

However......

Sou! Sou!

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

‘！！ ’

'Wow!! ’

'Uh.....'

With a low sound of breaking through the air, the few Mandalorian bounty hunters who walked in front of them were accurately hit by something in the darkness and fell to death in an instant!

"What?"

Who is it?!! ’

The surviving Mandalorian saw his companions wiped out in an instant, and even the Beskar metal armor that could resist lightsabers and blasters, that is, the kind of Mandalorian steel, had been pierced by something long, straight and sharp, and before he could raise the blaster in his hand and fight back, he saw in horror from his night vision device:

A monster with two strong hooves, hideous fangs and claws, spikes and small wings on its back suddenly burst out of the corner and leaped towards him, biting at his head before he could pull the trigger!

Click!

'Hiss......'

'Woo......'

By the time the terrible, jumping monster jumped away from the headless corpse of the Mandalorian bounty hunter, there was not a single living Mandalorian in this dark place.

On the ground, there was only the corpse lying motionless on its stomach and the unlucky corpse of an unlucky man with a mandalorian steel helmet that had been bitten to the ground, and was bleeding white and red liquid, as if it had no head......

Sou! Sou!

‘！！ ’

'Who? ’

'Uhh ’

'Not good! Enemy ......'

'Uhh ’

At the same time, the same thing began to happen to other teams of bounty hunters who had invaded the village...... It didn't take long for everything to be quiet, and those who were surrounded by the perimeter soon found that there were no more life signals for their own team members in the village, and they didn't even respond to calls?

Moreover, they had never come into contact with the two targets who were staying in the middle of the village, so why did they all die for some reason?!

‘！！ ’

'Damn!! ’

'Quick! Push our blasters over and blow up that village, the Jedi inside, and the woman!! ’

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and seeing that the hunters who had rounded up and searched for it had been wiped out in a very short time, and that not even one of them had escaped, a certain group of bounty hunters gathered together on the periphery shouted angrily and prepared to launch an artillery bombardment.

Because they felt that it must be the Jedi Knight's ghost, and only the mysterious force that they didn't understand could achieve the terrifying record of destroying more than a hundred hunters in a short period of time! However, they had never heard of a Jedi who could do that level, so they were a little apprehensive in their hearts, so they planned to choose the way of shelling to destroy the other party.

‘？？ ’

'Bastard! Didn't you hear? Push the blaster ...... me! ’

A certain leader stared at the two life signals in the village for a long time, and he really couldn't figure out what was going on, so he cursed angrily, threw the night vision binoculars with life detectors in his hand to the ground, and then turned his head angrily, planning to teach some disobedient subordinates a lesson first?

Burst!

Puff~!

Boom!!

However......

He was shocked to find that the subordinates who were still standing behind him shook for a while, and then pounced straight on the yellow sand, and made a muffled sound. At the same time, behind their backs, there are long poisonous thorns with a seeping green light?!

"Damn!!"

Before a certain bounty hunter leader knew something was wrong and felt the blaster on his waist for the first time, he was jumped by a monster that jumped high and bit off his arm that had just pulled out the blaster.

‘！！ ’

'Wow, ah!!hhh ’

Soon, a heart-rending cry rang out in the quiet desert wasteland.

Sou~!

Sou~! Sou~!

At the same time, behind the bounty hunters' encirclement, hideous-looking monsters slammed out from under the sand and stabbed them with their highly poisonous armor-piercing ridges under the horrified gaze of the bounty hunters who did not react, or who reacted but had nothing to stop them, piercing their bodies one by one, leaving them to die in the desolate desert around the sandman tribe with their eyes wide open......

'No ......'

'Don't come here! ’

'Don't kill me! ’

'I can give you money, a lot of money!' ’

Only the leader of the bounty hunters, who had been bitten off one of his arm, was not dead, and he was lying on his stomach, and the yellow sand stuck to the wound stopped the loss of his blood, but he could not stop the dense crowd of jumping worms and stinging snakes that surrounded him, and the terrifying aura that almost broke his mind.

"Money?"

"Humph! They won't ask for your money! ”

"Now...... Tell me, how the hell did you track us down, and why did you ambush here in the Arcanis area in advance? ”

Finally, as the terrifying swarm of insects slowly and automatically made way to the sides, Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi apprentice who had walked over step by step, pressed into a grim face at a certain bounty hunter leader who had rolled to the ground, looking embarrassed.

‘！！ ’

'You! Are you ......'

Unexpectedly, these terrifying monsters were actually controlled by a young Jedi Knight, which couldn't help but stunned the leader of the bounty hunter who had just been mourning and wanted to ask for mercy!

……

Half an hour later, Anakin returned to the room where Padmé was being held.

Then, as he used the Force to remove the boulder and walk in, a dark shadow with a hint of fragrance swooped down on him from within, and seemed to have an iron rod in his hand?

"Stop!"

"Padmé, it's my ......"

After easily avoiding and grabbing the iron rod that the other party smashed at his head, Anakin reminded with a wry smile.

“！！”

"Ah, Anakin? Great, you're okay, I just thought ......"

Whimpering, and after hearing who was coming, Padmé pounced on the black figure who had walked into the house and hugged him hard.

However......

“！？”

"Wait!"

What made Padmé feel horrified and trembling was that the other party reached out and began to tear his clothes after letting go of him?

"Don't!"

"Anakin...... You! What are you doing here?! ”

And if it weren't for the fact that in the dark, with her voice, tone, figure, and taste, she could be 100% sure that the other party was her brave Jedi Knight, Anakin, she would have thought that the other party was one of those bastard bounty hunters who can do everything!

“……”

However, Anakin didn't speak, and continued to reach out and tear hard at the other's body.

“！！”

"Don't!"

"Stop! What are you doing! Anakin, you let go!! ”

Hiss~!

"No!!"

Hiss~!

"Yikes!!"

"You! Don't come here! ”

Soon, although it was in the dark, no one could see anyone clearly, but Padmé herself knew that she was now smooth and slippery, and she had been ripped off all her clothes by the other party, including hair accessories, and there was nothing left!

Therefore, she can only grab the things around her as much as possible and throw them at the other party, and you can imagine that the other party will do something to her next!

To be honest, if it was somewhere else, or when the atmosphere was better, maybe she would have gone, right? But now I really can't, I'm thirsty, sleepy, tired, and afraid...... I really don't want anything but desperately want to get out of this place and get some rest and food!

What's more, what kind of hateful way did the other party choose to use force on her?

“……”

Bang dang~!

"Hey!!"

"Padmé, what do you want! Well, hurry up and put it on, a bounty hunter leader I just caught has already said that someone around you has been bribed, and they have a certain positioning device on you, and I don't know what it is, so I ......"

"Wow!!"

Anakin had just thrown his new clothes at the other man, and before he could say more, he noticed several blurred black shadows coming towards him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided and explained loudly.

"You bastard!"

"That kind of thing, can't you just say it sooner and let me do it myself?!!"

Padmé scolded angrily, if she wasn't in the dark room now, I'm afraid she could see the inexplicable red of grief and indignation on her cheeks, right?

"Ahh

"Sorry, sorry! I, I didn't think that much just now, really, Padmé, I swear......"

Yes, Anakin was just basking in the powerful excitement of the swarms under his command, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.

After all, his swarm easily wiped out those powerful enemies without any losses, and then, in his excitement, after asking the reason why he was ambushed, he hurried back, and also overbearingly ripped off all the clothes and hair accessories on the other party that might have hidden trackers, where did he think about things between men and women?

But......

Now that he had come to his senses, Anakin couldn't help but use the great Force to gather his own eyes and look at each other...... But it's a pity that the other party is now holding the ball of clothes he just threw away, and he can't see much other than his round white shoulders.

"You!!"

"Why don't you get out quickly?!"

Finding that the other party was still standing there and not leaving, and that the blurry black shadow was still sneakily trying to spy on something, Padmé was ashamed, so he grabbed a certain sandman's tool next to him and smashed it at the other party!

"Ahh

"Okay, okay...... Hurry up, Padmé, I've just grabbed a spaceship, we'd better get out of here as soon as possible! ”

After saying that, Anadamra hurriedly fled, and no longer dared to do that kind of thing to watch the other party change clothes or other rude......
