Chapter 752: Fading Away

"General, we have lost contact with 5 Companies. It is not clear whether it is because of the weather or because of an attack." The Main Force of the Northern Wing of the Republic Clone Army, in the Command Post, the Clone Commander told Jedi Master Sirrus.

Sirrus lifted his drenched hood, took the Binoculars from the Clone Commander, and looked into the distance.

In addition to rain and fog, the Imaging Methods of Laser, Radar, and Infrared were all unsatisfactory. There were Reflection Signals everywhere in the heavy rain, and the abnormal ionization in the clouds also interfered with the signal of the Instruments, making them blind.

"The feeling of danger has been lingering in my heart, and it's everywhere." Sirrus frowned.

"Are we retreating, General?" the Clone Commander asked.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Sirrus shook his head, "There are no more than 5 sunny days a year on Jabiim, so no matter whether we retreat or not, we will always have to face such weather. The only thing we can rely on now is the strength of our Main Army."

The Clone Commander looked at the AT-TE Walkers and AT-XT Walkers struggling in the mud and shook his head. With the weight of an AT-TE Walker, one foot can sink into the mud nearly 1 meter deep. To lift it up again, the Engine Power required is more than 10 times that of the normal situation. Both the speed and the consumption have far exceeded the limit of normal Combat Operations.

Sirrus said to the few Jedi Knights behind him: "We can no longer divide our forces. You each take a group of people in the direction of the Lost Company to confirm their situation."

"Yes!"

Several Jedi Knights nodded in agreement, and then each took a few Clones, stepped on the Zephyr-G Swoops of the Republic Army, and drove in several directions at high speed.

Sirrus looked at the figures that had disappeared within 50 meters of them, his face was solemn, and he turned around and asked, "Have you found the Main Force of Jabiim's Rebel Army in the direction of Master Norcuna?"

"No. In the routine communication half an hour ago, he said that they were preparing to attack Choal City. It seems that the situation over there is better than ours. At least they can rest in a dry house after arriving in Choal City, and we haven't seen a Town or even a Village for days," said the Clone Commander.

At this moment, a LAAT Gunship descended from the sky. The Gunship wobbled in the heavy rain and could not fly stably, so it could barely land. However, as soon as it hit the ground, it fell headlong into the mud pit, and the entire Gunship flipped over. The Clones on the ground hurriedly directed a nearby AT-TE Walker to go there and pulled the LAAT Gunship with a steel cable to rescue the Pilot.

As soon as the Pilot was pulled from the mud pit, he shouted: "General! There is an enemy situation! A Separatist Droid Army was found in the area 10 kilometers away from us in the north! There are at least 10 OG-9 Homing Spider Droids!"

"Your life, I accept it." Ventress's Lightsabers swung like a gust of wind, and just a few back and forth defeated the Jedi Knight's Lightsaber Momentum, then her Two Lightsabers Slashed, and a Head flew straight out.

...

Another front, Choal City.

Jedi Master Norcuna looked at the 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 rest. We will never destroy any property owned, and will pay sufficient rent."

Moments later, the Clone Commander returned, reporting, "They agreed."

Master Nokuna nodded and said: "The whole Army, enter the City, and the Armored Units, guard 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 severely!"

"Yes!"

The Clone Army began to enter the City, and the attitude of the Residents in the City was very cold, they didn't even want to say anything, they just led the Clone Troopers into the Warehouse or Compartment, and then they all returned to their Residences and never came out again.

The Clone Troopers were also in order, paying Credits to each Family carefully stationed in the Houses. Master Norcuna is also constantly coordinating to prevent conflicts between Soldiers and Civilians.

Fortunately, the conflict did not happen. Even if there were some collisions, the Local Civilians said that it was okay, and then walked away as if hiding from the plague god.

The Republic Army didn't know that after returning home, these Local Residents all got into the Basements of their respective Houses, locked the Entrances, and the whole Family hugged each other tightly, waiting for that time to come.

They don't even know that in the City's Huge Underground Drainage Pipe Network, countless Droids are squatting here in a shutdown state, and they will not move even if the rain washes them away.

The Armor on these Droids is integrated and completely sealed, even if they are squatting in the water, a drop of water will not penetrate. Their heads are so sharp that they look like they're wearing a pointed hat.
