Now, the Clone Army's 204th Legion finally understood what the blocking force in that small town ahead had encountered!
Those Yamrii corpse puppets!
The Yamrii were already a species with exceptionally strong physical abilities, and their mantis-like bodies were highly suited for close combat and hunting.

Countless Yamrii corpse puppets flew out of the woods, crossed the obstacles set up by the engineering teams, and plunged straight into the Clone Troopers' formation to begin a massacre!
Although the Clone Troopers were elite, they could not avoid being routed when faced with an attack blooming from within their ranks. Their attackers carried ion cannons, possessed immense strength, and feared neither guns nor bullets.
Thus, unable to hold the line, they hastily detonated the fuel depot.

The Clone Troopers did not
