Chapter 27 - Knock Knock

--Forward Command Post--

"He is what?"

"Settle down Duchess, Diesel said he's leading a direct attack on The City of Concordia." Ril'ah went back to looking at the frontline map."What we need to do is make a major push, I'm just not sure where would be the best location for that."

"Must we make a push? If you're that confident in Diesel, shouldn't we wait for his success."

"No. This is war Duchess what we want is for the Death Watch to be completely crippled. We do not want them to have a lifeline. Or would you rather them come back in a few years. Once they surrender, we will do a clean-up and finish off any surviving members."

"Ril'ah you seem to be quite capable, as a military leader, I would've never guessed that you were just a guard on a peaceful planet just over a year ago."

"Diesel has taught me everything I needed to know, to conduct an operation. I believe we should push towards the City of Concordia and draw as many enemies to our location as possible."

"That will lead to a lot of casualties."

"Duchess, your thinking is too straightforward. No one said we would be committing to this location, we just need the enemy to think we are."

"And how are we gonna do that?"

"Simple, we make a strong push and when all help seems to be lost we retreat, giving up our location."

"How does that help us?"

"Basically we are baiting Death Watch, once they take its position. We will make use of detonators, blowing up the area.This should kill most in the location, after they explode, we will have an open path to clean up the location."

--Outside of the City of Concordia--

"Attention all units. Careful of Civilians targets, groups 1 and 2 will hit the military factories. groups 3 and 4 will take care of the supply warehouse. Everyone else will join me on the attack on Pre-Viszla."

"Diesel, are you sure this is the right decision, our casualties will be pretty high won't they?"

"More than likely, but a faster end to the war, will mean much less casualties. Begin the attack."

Diesel had the group of ODJTS spread around the outside of the city. Closing into the city they were able to get in with little resistance, but the overall operation was kept silent. ODJTS moved to their respective targets killing unsuspecting guards. Diesel and Ruray moved toward the palace of the Pre-Viszla. Realizing that this could no longer be handled stealthily. Diesel placed two hands onto the walls.

"These walls are extremely thick. I'm gonna need you to step back."

"Diesel, we can just go around to another location. Wait what are you gonna do?"

"My primary goal when being created was heavily attacking Heavy Fortified locations. Let's just say my armor is equipped with the ability to heavy vibrations through my hands." As he finishes that, the entire wall begins to vibrate."This allows me to manipulate the integrity of the wall. This is extremely useful when assaulting places with the need for explosives. According to the Doctor, this would be extremely effective against insurgents."

Cracks begin to form on the wall allowing Diesel to pull back. "Now that the wall is weakened we can enter through here." Diesel leans his shoulder down and busts the wall down walking crumbling down behind him."It seems we might've made the correct decision coming here." Reaching over grabbing the knocked over Death Watch member.

"I'm gonna ask nicely and you're gonna tell me what I want to know. Where is Viszla?"

"He's in the main room, they turned it into a makeshift command center."

"Good. Ruray lets go." Diesel pulls out a dagger off his t.h.i.g.h slicing the Death Watch throat.

"Was there a need to finish him off like that? We got the information we wanted."

"Dangerous elements are needed to be eliminated during a mission, otherwise the effects could be astonishing."

--Pre-Viszla Command Room--

"Mandalor we are losing communications throughout the city. There's a possibility that people are starting to desert."

"No. They are here, they've been using those pods things from space to get behind our lines. According to the reports from Naboo, Diesel will more than likely want to push straight into the heart. They will be in the Concordia, have the troops increased in size and check our supply points!" Death Watch began running around relay the orders of Viszla, close to emptying the room.

*Knock Knock* "Room service."
