Chapter 6: a game of deception
Oh Xyron. Mutar thought. You're going to get yourself killed little boy.
Mutar turned his head to a bowed soldier. "So he escaped with the mercenary?"
The soldier nodded his head. "Yes lord Mutar. The mercenary's name is Samuel Stardust".
"Expected" Mutar said. He felt satisfied, almost the same as the time he killed that Jedi on Tatooine, The same Jedi that the galaxy's face will be changed forever because of him, the same Jedi that was, inevitably, Xyron's master. Mutar's plan will soon be completed, with a little help from the ignorant Jedi.
"Lord Mutar, should I chase the Jedi?" asked the soldier.
"No. That will ruin my game. Send a small unit a few miles from the valley in order to scare him. That will get him want to go faster to the valley, and make my plan go one more step foreword".
"I'm sorry lord Mutar, but I don't understand how your plan works". Said the soldier, fully aware of the fact that it might be the last thing he will ever say. Upsetting the Dark lord is not a wise thing to do. The last creature that did that mistake ended up in the garbage pit of the "cover of darkness", not a pleasant experience.
"You don't have to understand, it is not your job. Your job is to follow my orders. I've planned this game perfectly. Do what I tell you and don't ask questions. You know how I treat those who question me". Mutar said.
He didn't kill me. The soldier thought, surprised by Mutar's peacefulness. What happened to the Dark lord? He usually acts impulsively, what makes that Jedi so important for him? It will be wise not to ask anything and wait until Mutar will tell him.
"Send F.U.T.S. unit number 45 to scare the Jedi. Send them with minimal ammunition....."
"But my lord, they'll die if they won't have enough ammo to handle a Jedi". The soldier said, stopping Mutar from fulfilling his sentence.
"Yu're starting to get on my nerves soldier". Mutar yelled. "This is your last warning. You're lucky this subject is important to me".
"Y...yes lord Mutar". Said the soldier, scared to death even by the thought of what Mutar is capable of doing to him.
"Good". Mutar said. "Now, I need those soldiers to die, and I want them to die in a battle against the Jedi and his mercenary friend. I also want you to send a spying team to watch the "valley of the Jedi". Two days after they'll see the Jedi entering the valley I want them to send me a message. When I'll get the message I'll send one of my mind slaves to the valley to fight the Jedi. Then, part two of my plan will be completed. Everything you've heard here is top secret. I want you to send the F.U.T.S. and the spying teams and tell them exactly what I told you here".
Lord Mutar sure knows what he's doing. The soldier thought. He felt proud to serve the Dark lord in such an important operation. He's going to get a lot of money for this.
"Yes my lord, I will do as you command". The soldier said. He bowed and walked out of the throne room.
Oh Xyron. Mutar thought. You're going to get yourself killed little boy.
