746. Fading away
"General, we have lost contact with five companies. It is not clear whether it is due to weather or an attack." Republic clone army, the main force on the north wing, said clone Commander to Jedi Master Selius in the temporary command post.
Selius opened his already soaked hood, took the telescope from clone Commander and looked into the distance.
All they saw was rain and fog, and the switching of laser, radar, and infrared imaging methods was not ideal. In the heavy rain, there were reflected signals everywhere, and the abnormal ionization in the clouds also interfered with the signal of the instrument, which almost made them blind.
"The feeling of danger has always been lingering in my heart, and it is everywhere." Selius frowned.
"Are we going to retreat? General." Clone Commander asked.
Selius shook his head, "Jabiim planet There were no more than 5 sunny days in the last year, so whether we retreat or not, we will always have to face such weather. The only thing we can rely on now is the strong strength of our main army."
Clone Commander looked at the AT-TE walkers and AT-XT walkers struggling in the mud and shook his head. With the weight of the AT-TE, it can sink into at least 1 meter of mud when it is kicked down. To lift it up again, the engine power required is more than 10 times that of normal conditions. Both speed and consumption are far beyond the limits of normal combat operations.
Selius said to the several Jedi Knight behind him, "We can no longer divide our troops. Each of you will lead Group One people to the direction of the missing company to confirm their situation."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Several Jedi Knight nodded in agreement, and then each took a few soldiers, got on the Zephyr-G swoop equipped with the Republic Army's standard equipment, and drove quickly in several directions.
Selius looked at their figures that had disappeared less than 50 meters away, with a solemn expression. He turned around and asked again, "Have you found the main force of the Jabiim rebels in the direction of Master Nokuna?"
"No. In the routine communication half an hour ago, he said that they were preparing to attack Chuka City. It seems that the situation there is better than ours. At least they can rest in a dry house after arriving at Chuka City, and we have not seen any towns or even villages for several days." Clone Commander said.
At this moment, a LAAT/I assault transport boat fell from the sky. The transport boat was swaying in the heavy rain and could not fly stably, and could only barely land. However, as soon as it landed, it fell headlong into a mud pit, and the entire transport boat turned over. The soldiers on the ground quickly directed a nearby AT-TE walker to go over, put on a steel cable to pull the LAAT, and rescued the driver.
As soon as the driver was pulled out of the mud pit, he shouted loudly, "General! There is enemy situation! Separatist droid legion was found in an area 10 kilometers away from us in the north! There are at least 10 OG-9 Nest Spider battle mech among them!"
Master Selius immediately said, "Separatists finally couldn't hold it any longer! The whole army is ready to fight!"
"Yes!"
At the same time, a Jedi Knight was driving a Zephyr-G hover motorcycle with four Clone Trooper towards the front.
They did not realize that their whereabouts on the nearby cliffs had fallen into the enemy's control.
Asajj-Ventress put down the telescope and said with a ferocious smile, "It's really here, Jedi Knight."
She stood up from her hiding place, only to see a charred battlefield behind her. The corpses of hundreds of Clone Trooper fell to the ground in random directions, and the remains of an AT-TE walker were burning.
"Give them a surprise." Ventress said coldly.
Beside her, more than a dozen Gnoll let out a terrifying scream, then picked up their sniper rifles, without even using sights, and aimed directly with their excellent vision.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a continuous burst of gunfire.
The leader Jedi Knight reacted very quickly. He had already pulled out Lightsaber just as Gnoll put his finger on the trigger. With his rapid swing, several sniper bullets were blocked.
But the Clone Trooper behind them were not so lucky. They were either knocked off the hoverbike by sniper bullets, or the hoverbike was hit and threw them away.
"Okay! He's mine!" Ventress opened his cloak, took off the two cranks Lightsaber from his waist, and rushed directly towards that Jedi Knight!
"This is indeed your conspiracy! Dark believers!!" Jedi Knight roared and came forward.
"I accept your life." Ventress's Lightsaber swung like a gust of wind. It only took a few back and forth to defeat Jedi Knight's sword power. Then the swords were cut, and a head flew straight up.
Another front, Chuka City.
Jedi Master Nokuna looked at the small city ahead, took a deep breath and said to the clone Commander, "Go and negotiate with the local residents to see if we can rent their houses for us to take a rest. We will never damage any of their properties and will pay enough rent."
After a while, clone Commander returned and reported, "They agreed."
Master Nokuna nodded and said, "The whole army has entered the city, and the armored units are on guard at the periphery. After confirming safety, they take turns to rest and dry their clothes. In addition, all units are strictly ordered not to disturb the people, otherwise they will be dealt with seriously!"
"Yes!"
Clone Army began to enter the town. The residents in the town were very cold and did not even want to say anything. They just introduced those Clone Trooper into warehouses or compartments, and then returned to their homes and never came out again.
The Clone Troopers were also very orderly, paying credits to each household and carefully stationed themselves inside the house. Master Nokuna is also constantly coordinating to prevent conflicts between soldiers and civilians.
Fortunately, the conflict did not occur. Even if there were some collisions, the local civilians said it was okay and walked away as if they were avoiding the plague.
Republic army didn't know that after returning home, these local residents all went into the basements of their respective houses, locked the entrances, and hugged each other tightly as a family, waiting for that time to come.
They don't even know that in the city's huge underground drainage pipe network, countless robots are squatting here in a shutdown state, and they remain motionless even if the rain washes them away.
The armor on these robots is integrated and completely sealed. Even if they squat in the water, not a drop of water will penetrate. Their heads are very pointed and look like they are wearing a pointed hat.
