In Jabiim planet's Galactic Republic Army base camp, Cobalt Camp, a fierce offensive and defensive battle is unfolding.
Jabiimi National Army gathered the last strength and gathered more than 25,000 warriors, cooperating with more than 10,000 remaining robots and the remaining 6,000 or so Gnoll to launch a general attack on Cobalt Camp.
Both sides have no way out, and both sides' heavy equipment has been exhausted in the previous battle, so this offensive and defensive battle is completely a hand-to-hand battle!
Jabiimi National Army charged without fear of death. When there was a robot in front, they rushed with the robot. When the robot in front was destroyed, they straightened their chests and used their bodies to block the deadly Blaster Beam for their comrades who followed.
The IG-227 Hail of Fire combat machinery had been completely destroyed by Master Selius's last-minute counterattack in the previous battle. Now the only four remaining OG-9 Nest Spider battle mechs could provide limited fire support, so these Jabiimi National Army warriors carried cluster bombs and charged towards the crazy shooting Galactic Republic DF-9 anti-infantry turret!
The Republic army side is also almost in dire straits. In order to ensure the intensity of previous offensives due to poor supply, they handed over most of their equipment and ammunition to the frontline troops. Most of the people left behind at Cobalt Camp are the wounded and soldiers rotated from previous battles, as well as some Jabiim government forces soldiers whose equipment and morale are not very good.
The most important reason why Galactic Republic is not well supplied is the Festival Offensive launched by General Grievous. This great large-scale series of battles directly crippled Galactic Republic. Moreover, after this large-scale map coloring, the position of Jabiim planet changed from the contested area between the two sides to the rear of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
And the ensuing large-scale offensive by Dawn Star Planet against Terminus Planet also made Galactic Republic very nervous. Dawn Star Planet, who had twice severely damaged Republic Mobile Fleet's resume before, will now receive serious concern every time he acts. In addition, 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin has a direct connection with Speaker Palpatine. Now many resources of Galactic Republic are beginning to be tilted towards the 18th Army, so there is no spare time to pay attention to Jabiim planet.
Facing Jabiimi National Army's desperate attack, Republic army fought back desperately.
Jabiim government forces's soldiers were unable to retreat, so naturally they gritted their teeth and fought.
As long as the wounded in the field hospital could still move, they got up one after another and picked up weapons to join the battle. If Blaster rifle was not enough, they would use pistols. If the pistols were gone, they would climb up with a few grenades.
The Jedi apprentices who had not participated in the previous battles and were only responsible for logistics and medical work in the rear also stepped onto the battlefield. Many of them could not even use Lightsaber to rebound Blaster Beam, so they also participated in the battle with Blaster rifle in their hands.
Many Jedi apprentice are not over 14 years old. Maybe in Inner Rim or Core Worlds, such children are still in school and still enjoying a carefree childhood, but for Jedi apprentice, they have the talent of the Force and they also take on the responsibility.
This battle is destined to be bloody.
When Anakin-Skywalker and the remnant troops he led before returned to Cobalt Camp, all that was left was a devastated battlefield. The destroyed DF-9 anti-infantry turrets were billowing smoke. The trenches were filled in during repeated bombings. The wreckage of several LAAT/I assault transport boats fell to the ground, and the flames were not extinguished.
Anakin did not approach rashly. He just hid behind a hill and checked the situation of the camp with a telescope.
There was no doubt that the camp was devastated, the flames and smoke not even the rain could put out. The result of the battle is already obvious, because some B-1 combat robots are still on the battlefield, sorting out the loot under the command of a team of Selurite soldiers.
Most of these B-1 combat robots are missing arms and legs, but at least they can still do some carrying work.
And on this battlefield, there are more corpses...
There were bodies everywhere... all over the floor... almost every corner...
Filled up...
Corpse!
Clone Trooper's, Jabiim government forces's, Jabiimi National Army's, Gnoll's... countless corpses almost covered the entire battlefield.
On this front with a width of more than 10 kilometers, almost every inch of land is the object of contention. You can even see the corpses of soldiers from both sides entangled together. It is a hand-to-hand fight at the end of the battle...Anakin has never seen such a scene, but in fact, when both sides have lost heavy weapons and the battlefield is covered by heavy rain, sometimes hand-to-hand combat is the simplest and most direct way.
And...Jedi Knight...
Seeing the corpses on the ground being picked up and rummaged by robots, and then thrown naked into the pile of corpses, Anakin-Skywalker felt an unknown fire spreading in his heart.
The body of a Suluustians girl was lifted by the B-1 combat robot by the feet with one hand and shook a few times. A shiny card fell from her clothes.
Anakin knows her, her name is Elara, she has powerful telepathy and can directly perceive the thoughts of others even from a hundred meters away, and the most important thing is... she has just turned 17 years old. That card was a gift from her good friend at Jedi Order.
On the other side, two Selurite were squatting in front of the body of a female Jedi Knight, studying it carefully. They were still discussing seriously from time to time, and seemed to be very interested in the victim in front of them, which was purely academic.
Anakin's pupils shrank instantly, it was Master Laiska!! In this military operation against Jabiim planet, one of the three Jedi Master was responsible for the overall command! It is also the highest Commander in the army after the sacrifices of Master Nokuna and Master Selius, and her sacrifice shows...
I only saw the two Selurite pulling off Master Laiska's clothes, revealing the graceful body curves under the robe.
Maybe for Selurite, they are just curious about this person with powerful power, but for Anakin, this means the biggest offense!
A tendon in his brain seemed to have broken, and he roared and charged forward! At this moment, there was nothing else in his mind except the thought of killing!
kill! kill! kill! kill!!
Kill them!
Kill them all!!!
When Anakin woke up from his anger, the battlefield had returned to silence, and the ground was still full of corpses and debris, so much so that he didn't even know what he had just chopped into pieces.
"Well done, General."
"This is the fate these Separatists bastards deserve." Every Clone Trooper who walked by him said with respect or enthusiasm.
They were talking about a killing...
In such a relaxed tone.
Anakin-Skywalker lowered his head and saw that what he was stepping on were corpses scattered on the ground. Light purple skin, fine scales...
Selurite.
A race that is said to come from Unknown Regions and allied with Dawn Star Planet.
I just chopped them into pieces, as well as every Separatists soldier and robot on this battlefield who was cleaning the loot.
But... this is still killing!
"What a beautiful battle." A Clone Trooper passed by him and said.
Yes... they are just clones, with a life cycle of only 20 to 30 years. They are killing machines that have been taught the means of killing since childhood. They are also... the killing machines that Galactic Republic is now using to fight against Separatists. Anakin's eyes are cold...
They will not have any sympathy. Just like now, they are only concerned about how their generals kill simply and efficiently on the battlefield, without caring about the meaning behind the killing.
What these Separatists ers want is nothing more than a full meal, a place to live, and warm clothes...
After learning the story behind the battle on Jabim, it was hard for Anakin not to sympathize with such an opponent.
But...
Anakin looked at his hands, then clenched his fists tightly, and said calmly, "Let's go! Follow the traces and pursue! Maybe we still have troops retreating!"
Anakin thought well. There is indeed a group of Republic army that survived tenaciously. They are retreating southward, waiting for their only hope - reinforcements from Galactic Republic.
There were not many Jabiimi National Army troops chasing them, and most of them were robots that had been saved from the battle, and most of them were Series A battle droids.
However, under the angry attack of Anakin-Skywalker, these pursuers were quickly killed and dispersed. The escaping Galactic Republic troops noticed the arrival of reinforcements and immediately mustered up their last strength to turn around and fight back, wiping out all the pursuers.
After reuniting with the remaining soldiers, Anakin found that they only had more than 400 Clone Trooper and more than 1,000 Jabiim government forces warriors left. They were commanded by clone Commander Alpha-17, and Commander Ollis Gilman of Jabiim government forces.
"Although it is inappropriate to say this now, I am very happy that you saved our lives, Master Anakin." Gilman did not know the difference between Jedi Knight and Jedi Master. He stepped forward and said, "Besides, you are already the last Jedi Knight here."
Alpha-17 said, "We failed to hold our position, General Anakin. The Separatist attack was too crazy... All Jedi Knights, including apprentices, went into battle. When our position was torn apart, Master Leska led the last few Jedi Knights to launch a desperate assault, trying to kill Alto Stratus, the leader of the Jabim Separatists who went to the battlefield. Before she left, she asked us to retreat immediately to preserve a trace of fire for the Republic on the planet Jabim."
"Did she succeed?" Anakin At this moment, even himself was surprised by his somewhat cold tone.
Alpha-17 shook his head, took out a portable holographic projector and turned it on. In the holographic image, Alto-Stratus was still wearing a military uniform, and the blood stains on his body had not been washed away, but he was already giving an impassioned speech, declaring his victory.
Jabiim planet will be independent from Galactic Republic. They did not let their devastated planet join Confederacy of Independent Systems and join the war, but they still signed a series of cooperation agreements with Confederacy of Independent Systems in various aspects such as mining.
Alpha-17's voice sounded from the side, "General Laiska was once very close to Alto-Stratus. At that time, Alto was also very tired. But that traitor, Ulu-Ulix never left Alto. He fought with General Laiska and blocked her offensive. Then Nimbus commandos arrived in time and completely surrounded General Laiska and the others..."
"This is not over yet! Master Laiska and their sacrifices will not be in vain! After receiving reinforcements from Galactic Republic, we will launch a counterattack! Completely defeat Alto-Stratus Separatists forces!" Anakin-Skywalker said firmly, "I have sent an emergency message to Coruscant, and I believe they have taken action."
"I only hope that Galactic Republic's assistance is strong enough... After Alto wins this victory, his power will continue to expand every day." Ollis Gilman said.
"Yes... as long as I'm here!" Anakin's eyes were burning with fire.
One day later, Galactic Republic's 'reinforcements' arrived - a Consular-class cruiser landed under the escort of 10 LAAT/I assault transport boats.
The Clone Troopers were still organizing their equipment in an orderly manner, but those Jabiim government forces people and their Commander Ollis Gilman could not wait to surround them.
"How much can this spaceship bring?"
"This is Consular-class cruiser! No, what we want is a professional warship, a large warship! Not this kind of rag for diplomacy!" Jabiim people have begun to talk about it.
The hatch opened and a Galactic Republic officer walked out. He was not even a clone Commander.
"Hey! What are you doing? How much can this spaceship hold?" Gilman walked up and asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, the order I received was to communicate with General Anakin." Officer Galactic Republic naturally pushed Gilman back.
"So, where are the other transport planes?" Anakin asked.
"There are no other transport planes. We are here to pick you up and leave here. There is a powerful storm in this area of Jabiim planet. Just passing through the storm is full of dangers. We must leave here within an hour, otherwise when another storm full of thunder and lightning merges with the storm here, we will be forced to stay for several days, which will be fatal to the Acclamator-class assault ship we are traveling on," the official said.
The entire scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, including Anakin, especially those Jabiim government forces soldiers looked at this side with dull eyes.
"This is an order from Supreme Leader, Speaker Sheev-Palpatine." The official handed over a holographic projector.
The expression on Anakin's face was twitching, and his palms were trembling. He took the projector and read the instructions given to him by Palpatine.
When he turned around again, his face was expressionless and he said to Gilman calmly, "... Thank you for your brave fighting. You have proved your loyalty to Galactic Republic with your actions. But please understand that we are fighting on thousands of planets and we must make use of every soldier. I will not leave my troops here to die, so Clone Army will evacuate here..."
When Gilman heard this, tears actually flowed from the corners of the eyes of this iron-clad man. He roared loudly, "We gave everything for Galactic Republic! Life! Money! Resources!! But you abandoned us!! Alto-Stratus is right! He is right!!"
Anakin took a deep breath and said, "This planet is your Homeworld. Now, fight for your own Homeworld."
"We no longer have Homeworld!! Your Galactic Republic war has destroyed it!!!" Gilman roared and picked up the Blaster rifle, and other Jabiim soldiers also picked up their guns, "Now I order you to keep this spaceship! We have to leave here! We want to establish a government in exile!!"
Anakin, who had been unable to express his feelings in the past few days, flashed a fierce look in the corner of his eyes. He raised his hand and shook it. The powerful the Force immediately disarmed all the Jabiim soldiers around him. The invisible force grabbed Gilman's neck and threw him out!
"Aiming weapons at us is not what you should do, Gilman." After Anakin said these words, he did not dare to face these desperate Jabiim government forces soldiers any more, and turned around and boarded the spacecraft.
"This is your answer! Galactic Republic!! This is your answer!!" Olis Gilman was extremely sad and angry. He picked up a stone and threw it at Anakin's back.
