"He's just a kid, and Obi-Wan can't help him anymore." Vader begins by pointing out that Obi-Wan had died at the hands of his own sword, which happened a year ago, leading to two subtexts.

1. It is no longer possible for Luke to complete his training with the help of any Jedi, and he poses no immediate threat to the Empire. 2. Because Luke didn't finish his training and his knowledge of the Force is still limited, it won't be too difficult to lure him to the dark side......

"The Force talent in him is still very strong, and the descendants of Skywalker must never become Jedi Knights again. Sure enough, after Vader's cryptic arguments, the Emperor's reaction was as relieved as he expected, and although the Emperor didn't say it directly, Vader had already seen the subtext left by his mentor.

"If you can admit him to the Empire, he can be a powerful ally!" Vader, with his most respectful gesture, carefully said the subtext left by the emperor in front of him.

"That's right, he can be a powerful ally!" But are you sure it can be done? The Emperor asked encouragingly.

"He's either join or face death!" My mentor. Vader responded very firmly to the Emperor's question, and as he spoke, he made a very standard posture of submission to the ground.

Palpatine smiled with satisfaction when he saw his expression, not knowing whether he was appreciating his apprentice's answer or simply enjoying Vader's current attitude of complete surrender to himself. In the conversation that followed, the focus of the conversation never left Luke.

Until the Emperor hung up the communication, Vader did not report what he had wanted to ask the Emperor for his discovery. Since the Emperor was not aware of the fluctuations in the Force he felt, this was a big indication that it should not be a big deal, and he was not guilty of specifically pointing out the good mood that disturbed the Emperor.

For the past 20 years, the emperor has been extremely sensitive to danger. Most of the dangers that could affect the safety of the empire were first detected by the emperor through the Force probe. Since this time the emperor did not mention it. Vader gave up on reporting.

However, this did not mean that he had forgotten about the matter, and after ending the conversation with the Emperor, Vader immediately left his cabin and returned to the bridge of his Executor, the Super Star Destroyer. Here he gave two new orders.

He first ordered the fleet to send two Imperial-class Star Destroyers back to Tatooine to investigate the anomaly there, and the second order was to order the main force of the fleet to turn. Search for planetary systems where other rebels may be hiding.

While Vader is searching for the rebels, the protagonist of his previous conversation with the Emperor, the core character in the Star Wars trilogy, and Luke, who is nicknamed the first in the million-year history of the Star Wars world. Skywalker is in a remote planetary system.

At this time, he and the main rebel army were trapped in a cold and desolate terrestrial planet. The planet called Hoth is in a low temperature state all year round, and the gravitational index is quite normal, but for a variety of natural reasons, the surface of the planet is almost completely covered with ice and snow.

During the day, the temperature is bearable, and you can work in the field in thick thermal clothing. But at night. Temperatures in the wild can drop as low as close to minus 100 degrees, making it almost completely impossible for humans to survive here.

The rebels had no choice but to set up their garrison here, and since the destruction of the Death Star a year ago, they have been under increasing pressure from the Empire to pursue them. Although the destruction of the Death Star caused the sensation they expected, more Star Lords and Governors who were dissatisfied with the Empire secretly joined them in their efforts to overthrow the Empire.

However, such an eye-catching move also attracted the attention of all units of the Imperial Army. Their allies have grown, but few have dared to openly stand up to the Empire. Although the funds and supplies sent by the allies have increased several times in a year, it has become many times more difficult for the rebels to obtain these supplies.

Right now. All major trade routes were heavily patrolled by the Imperial Fleet, which was ready to check on passing merchant ships. Most of the rebels' supplies could not reach their secret bases. Even the few that can be delivered safely will become less usable in the face of low temperatures.

Especially food supplies. Other machinery and equipment and fuel supplies are okay. But food that has been frozen by cold temperatures is extremely difficult to heat in this cold world, and any qualified military commander knows that not being able to eat hot food is very demoralizing.

Of course, the rebels chose Hóth as their base for recuperation, first of all, because it was remote, far from any trade routes and Imperial fleet patrols. Secondly. The system is not rich in resources, it is expensive to mine, it does not attract unexpected visitors, and there is no shortage of food sources.

Hunting wild creatures, they are still able to cope with food consumption. At this time, Luke was on a solitary reconnaissance mission in the field, and after the battle that destroyed the Death Star a year earlier, he quickly rose through the ranks of the rebels.

Now that he was a major in the rebels, the area where Luke was scouting was approaching dusk, the sky was dark, and the soup beast he was using as a mount had begun to panic uneasily.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Luke thought his mount was afraid of the cold night, so he jumped off his mount and tried to appease his soup beast. The night in the wild is indeed very sad, and even the soup beasts that were born and raised in this world do not want to stay in the wild at night if they have a choice.

But in fact, Luke's soup beast was not urging him to hurry back to the base, but it smelled the scent of the Wanpa Ice Beast, the top predator of this ice and snow world. As a result, just as Luke was soothing himself, a tall, white-haired monster resembling a polar bear suddenly and silently swam behind him.

The monster has a humanoid silhouette, about 3 meters tall, and walks upright. The monster's entire body is covered in white fur that is highly camouflaged in the snow, and it does not make a sound at all when it walks on the snow. It hadn't caught much prey in months, and when it saw Luke and his mount, the beast didn't think much of it, and swooped over to attack on instinct.

By the time Luke noticed the anomaly, the tall monster was too close, and before he could see what was behind him or pull out his lightsaber at his waist, he was knocked unconscious by a slap. Although Luke had strengthened his body to the limit of close to the physical body of ordinary people through intermittent Force training, he still seemed very powerless in the face of this monster that was more than a meter taller than him.

However, his physical strength and Force training still had some effect, and although he was slapped directly to the back of the head by the giant palm of the Wampa Ice Beast, he did not immediately die of a concussion or a ruptured skull like ordinary people.

His soup beast was not as lucky as him, he was also slapped in the face, but his mount was killed in an instant, and he was disemboweled. However, even the Wampa Ice Beast that hunted him did not like to spend the night in the wild.

After a few quick bites, it dragged the corpses of Luke and his mount to its hiding cave. And in the rebel base, Han, who realizes that Luke did not return on time. Solo and the others are anxiously looking for Luke.

After realizing that Luke is still in the wild, they embark on a difficult search and rescue operation. At about the same time, the Master Chief and others, who were far away in Tatooine's construction base, were facing new problems in their hands. They had just observed two Imperial-class Star Destroyers arriving at the perimeter of Tatooine through unmanned equipment set up in space.

This was beyond all of their expectations, and according to the plot, there shouldn't be any Imperial warships operating outside Tatooine at this time. And according to their observations, the two Imperial warships immediately sent a large number of ground troops to check the settlement area on the surface of the earth, apparently looking for something.

After two days of cautious observation, Master Chief and Master Chief were able to roughly determine the number and location of all Imperial Storm Commando members operating on the ground. There are also various channels that make it possible to determine that they are searching for themselves.

They weren't completely unprepared for this situation, they knew long before they came that the expedition's intervention would likely attract the attention of the powerful Force warriors, but they didn't expect it to be so early.

They are mentally and materially prepared to cope with the current situation. The Master Chief was even ready to use this opportunity to turn bad things into good things and organize an attack to take down those two Emperor-class Star Destroyers.

Among their mission objectives was to capture the Emperor-class Star Destroyer, which was originally carried out in the second half of the plan, but now that they have the opportunity, they don't have to give up. As the leader of the operation, the Master Chief can decide such details on his own.

The only problem was that they had to know if there were Force Warriors on those two Star Destroyers, and if so, they would have to consider the possibility of immediate evacuation. Although they have all trained in the tactics of the Antigenic Samurai, they have not yet fought against any real Force Samurai, and the risks against this "magical" type of warrior are still unknown.

In order to find out the internal deployment of the two Star Destroyers and the possibility of capturing them, in the early morning of the next day, the Master Chief led a raid on one of the camps of the Storm Map Strike Team located in the valley, and the whole raid process went very smoothly.

Although the Storm Commandos were the Empire's most elite ground troops, they had almost never encountered an enemy who could stealthily, and before the battle began, an entire squad of men with several smoke makers went upwind of their camp to create a puff of smoke.

Soon, the storm infantry camp at the downwind port was enveloped in a puff of artificial smoke. Subsequently, the two expedition squads in charge of the raid quickly broke through and attacked before the enemies could be organized. Without firing a single shot, they smoothly brought down everyone in the camp. (To be continued......)
