748. Quagmire

The fighting broke out on the 17th day.

The army of Jedi Master Nokuna is slowly retreating. Rather than retreating, it is better to say that it is a rout.

Thanks to Clone Trooper's good training and discipline, if it were any other ordinary army, they would have been destroyed long ago after everything they have experienced in the past few days.

Since their defeat from Chuka City, they have been continuously pursued by the Jabiimi National Army and the robot army. These pursuers were not eager to catch up with them and catch them all. Instead, they let them continue to retreat while fighting, and then pursued them closely like a cat and a mouse.

This will be a road to death.

Clone Army Except for the Zephyr-G hoverbike and a small amount of Speeder, all heavy equipment was paralyzed in the mud and was destroyed or captured by the Jabiimi National Army. They could only rely on their own feet to walk in the endless heavy rain and mud.

For a way out.

In contrast, Jabiimi National Army's robot army never sleeps, and Nimbus commandos's anti-gravity sliding boots consume almost no physical energy.

It's not that they can't catch up, they're just waiting for their prey to be exhausted and vulnerable before killing it in one fell swoop.

There were 8,000 people in the Clone Army of Nokuna. During the battle of Chuka City, they tenaciously evacuated more than 4,000 people even if they were besieged internally and externally. Of course, Master Nokuna's desperate battle played a key role in allowing those Clone Trooper who had been scattered by Series A robots to regroup and break through.

But even if they break through, there is still another hell waiting for them.

In the endless heavy rain, even a small wound will quickly become inflamed, infected and suppurative after being soaked in water, and then lose the ability to move and be trampled to death by the robots following closely.

In the past few days, they traveled a total of more than 50 kilometers. This was a road of death for more than 50 kilometers. The number of people was reduced to less than 1,000. Almost everyone who survived was exhausted and ran out of fuel.

As for the wounded, there are none...

Because of the wounded, they all fell behind and died.

And now, the last moment has finally come...

Alto-Stratus led Nimbus commandos, who had recharged his energy in the past few days and had enough food and drink, to start the attack again.

Facing 1,000 Clone Trooper who can barely move their legs, this is a massacre!

Master Nokuna dragged his exhausted body to charge again and again, but in the end he was unable to do anything and fell to the ground exhausted.

Alto-Stratus walked over and grabbed the tentacles on top of Tusken's head and lifted him up.

Master Nokuna's consciousness has been confused. He has not eaten for several days in a row, and has been continuously injured in continuous battles. He has almost lost his ability to judge, and just muttered with his only strength. Jedi Creed, "No need for passion, calm your mind... Don't follow ignorance, obey true knowledge... Don't indulge in lust, be calm and clear... Don't have Chaos, tranquility still exists... There is no death, only do the Force..."

"No death? Ha! Another Jedi lie!!" Alto said loudly, "Wherever you Jedi Knight have passed, all you have left behind is the smoke of war and corpses littering the fields! But you keep saying there is no death?"

He grabbed Master Nokuna's tentacles, exposed his neck, and roared loudly, "When I saw my sister died in my arms, and her legs had been completely crushed by your walker, was this death?! When our people fell one by one under the ravages of the interstellar pirates and Brain Plague, was this death?!?!?!"

Uh-huh!! He cut off Master Nokuna's head with a sword and roared, "Jedi Knight and Galactic Republic have brought us endless suffering, and now! All this pain will be returned to every Jedi Knight who invades our Homeworld!!"

On the other front, Jedi Master Selius finally made up his mind to retreat.

In the past few days, they destroyed countless Jabiimi National Army blocks and killed tens of thousands of Jabiim soldiers and the Confederacy of Independent Systems robot army that came for reinforcements.

But they are still struggling in the heavy rain...

These Jabiim soldiers are delaying their steps with their lives.

What is even more troublesome is the race they have now confirmed to be called Gnoll!

These Gnolls have excellent eyesight and can see targets clearly from very far away even in heavy rain, which even their instruments and equipment cannot do. Therefore, every Gnoll is an excellent sniper. They run extremely fast, have extremely accurate marksmanship and are cruel in nature. Many Clone Trooper died under their sniping.

In order to eliminate these Gnoll, Master Selius had to organize a fast mobile force composed of Jedi Knight, driving the Zeifeng-G hover motorcycle to drive away and kill Gnoll.

But even so, they still suffered heavy losses.

Several troops that had lost contact before were confirmed to have been wiped out. Only two Jedi Knight sent out to look for them came back, and they also brought back new information.

Dark Followers of Count Dooku——Asajj-Ventress are on the battlefield in this direction!

With this powerful killer here, every attack of Jedi Knight is a bet on life! Even if Gnoll poses no threat to Jedi Knight, Asajj-Ventress can!

Master Selius Clone Army here also has 8,000 people, and has lost about 1,400 people in the constant fighting. The remaining people began to retreat in an organized manner, and they did not leave many openings for the pursuers.

The army of the Jabiimi National Army has also merged with the robot army and Kig-Yar legion to form a powerful military force and began to launch continuous attacks on the army of Master Selius!

This army does not have much heavy equipment, because the main large-scale combat machinery is basically reinforced to the other side of the battlefield to encircle and suppress Master Nokuna. However, this is still the case. The army composed mainly of the Jabiimi National Army ordinary soldiers and B-1 combat robots still launched a resolute offensive.

In this way, the two sides launched a bloody battle in the heavy rain of Jabiim. Even though the powerful Republic clone army caused heavy losses to the Jabiimi National Army, it still did not stop.

Until the news came that Master Nokuna's troops had been completely annihilated...

When Anakin-Skywalker and Obi-Wan-Kenobi led their troops to come for reinforcements, they received this almost desperate news.

All 8,000 clone warriors under Master Nokuna were wiped out. Master Selius's army lost more than half and is gradually returning to their headquarters, Cobalt Base.

The number of casualties Jedi Knight has reached 18.

Moreover, they also lost most of their heavy equipment, and now there are no more than 10 AT-TE walkers left in the army.

This battle has completely turned into a bottomless quagmire.
