The climate conditions on the planet Jabim are very bad, so it is difficult for large transport planes to find suitable weather and sites to land. This is why Peacock first took a shuttle down to find Alto Stratus. Soon in Stratus
Under the arrangement, the three AA-9 transport ships began to land and unload the soldiers they carried.
The Providence-class cruiser and the two Generous-class frigates also transferred the soldiers and equipment to the transport ship, and then hid themselves near the satellites around the Jabiem planet.
"What's the current situation of the war?" Peacock asked pointing at the map in the command center temporarily built in a cave.
Stratus sighed and said: "Originally, I had the situation under control. On the planet Jabim, most people hated the Republic. Because of this, I was able to start an uprising. Ventress helped me
I killed most of the pro-Republic officials, and many people were willing to help me. Even the army expressed its unwillingness to work for the Republic anymore. However, the Republic's support came quickly. They not only brought a large number of troops and weapons;
It’s…Jedi Knight!”
Ventress snorted beside her, obviously hearing the word Jedi made her very unhappy.
"After the Jedi arrived, they immediately carried out assassinations on our officials and senior officials! Some were done by clone troopers, and some were done by the Jedi themselves. The reinforcements from the Republic came in three batches, and occasionally we would catch them
Some prisoners of war can learn that the first batch was led by Jedi Master Nokunna, the second batch was led by Obi-Wan, and the third batch was Shiras. The designation of this legion is the 43rd legion, and there is also an independent number.
, it should be called Alpha Force. The total number of clone soldiers should be around 30,000 to 40,000, there are a total of 4 Jedi Masters coming from the Jedi Knights, and there are at least 50 Jedi Knights and Jedi Apprentices." Stratus said.
Upon hearing this number, Peacock suddenly frowned. Is it because in the Battle of Geonosis, the Jedi Knights did not suffer heavy losses like in the original plot, so now they still like to use Jedi Knights so intensively?
? She thought for a while and continued to ask: "What about your military strength?"
"There are still 10,000 robot troops brought by Ventress, and all the heavy equipment has been lost. There are about 180,000 Jabiim warriors loyal to me, but this force must defend numerous cities and strategic locations on the entire planet.
, the mobile force that can be used does not exceed 8,000. But the Republic has sent a large number of Jedi warriors. With just a few of them, along with a squad and a few gunboats, they can cause devastating damage to our rear base."
Speaking of this, Stratus sighed and said: "Now that we are retreating steadily, the Republic's troops are getting closer and closer to our capital Joyar. Once the capital falls, the 3,000 years of the Republic's rule over Jabim will lose its prestige."
Once again, I am worried that the flame of resistance will be extinguished in the hearts of the people."
Peacock did not answer immediately, she just kept looking at the map. Seeing her appearance, Ventress snorted and said: "A civil servant like you shouldn't think too much about war. I'm very grateful to you.
I will bring reinforcements, but then we should all do what we are good at, I will lead the troops to launch a counterattack and completely defeat the Republic!"
Peacock raised his head and glanced at her, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Yeah, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it, Ventress. Isn't what you are good at, is running away in a panic after repeated defeats? What's next?
My plan, first of all, is for you to continue doing what you are best at."
The fierce light in Ventress's eyes flashed, and the red lightsaber unfolded with a swish sound. However, there was someone faster than her! Because at this time, a metal feather fan had already pressed against her neck from behind! Ventress looked up and saw
, there was no peacock in front of her, and endless horror appeared in her eyes again.
"Where are you looking? Ventress." The peacock's voice came from behind her, and it was extremely cold. This voice also made Ventress' hair stand on end, because even with the perception of the force, she had no idea where the peacock came from.
Behind her!
"As you command... I will do my best to cooperate with your plan." Ventress's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees and he replied respectfully. Surrendering to the strong is a good virtue of every Sith.
…
After a fierce battle, a clone troop marched among the wreckage of battle droids.
"It's the B-1 robot again. Do these Separatists only have this little skill left to slow down our progress?!" Anakin Skywalker said, kicking the head of a robot away.
"It seems that they lack troops and heavy weapons. Now, unless Otto Stratus mobilizes all the troops stationed in other parts of the planet, he will no longer have the strength to resist. But I still feel that something may be wrong with the situation..." Ou
Bewan Kenobi said in a deep voice.
"It's not possible, something must be wrong." The clone officer standing next to them, wearing a blue cape, said, "In the past week, the separatist army has been defeated too fast, and we are already too far away from the supply line. It turns out that
The supplies scheduled to be transported by air the day before yesterday have also been delayed until now due to the continuous heavy rain."
"So what do you suggest? Alpha-17?" Obi-Wan asked.
"My suggestion has been mentioned a long time ago, assassinate Alto Stratus at all costs." Alpha-17 said.
"I have answered this question a long time ago. Stratus's prestige is extremely high. Excessive killing will only make the people of the Jabiim planet hate us even more. We must defeat him head-on to have a chance to disintegrate him.
Prestige." Obi-Wan said.
"So, I obey your orders, General Obi-Wan." Alpha-17 then added: "However, you will do it sooner or later."
Anakin Skywalker stood up and said: "I have an idea, Master. I will lead the Alpha troops to penetrate behind the enemy's rear to find out their true strength. If their rear is empty, maybe we can capture some.
Fighter."
"This is too dangerous Anakin! You can't take charge alone." Obi-Wan immediately objected.
"I think I can do it, Master! And the other party must be keeping an eye on you four Jedi Masters. Once someone disappears from the battlefield, they will definitely be alert." Anakin said loudly.
Alpha-17 nodded and said: "I also think it is feasible. The movements of the separatists are too suspicious. Proper investigation and penetration behind enemy lines are necessary. Don't worry, General Obi-Wan, I will protect him."
Obi-Wan nodded and said: "Okay! I'll leave it to you, Anakin, Alpha-17!"
At this time, there was another noise from behind. It turned out that an AT-TE walker had fallen into the quagmire again. Obi-Wan walked over, closed his eyes, concentrated all his strength, controlled the force, and actually directly
Lifted the AT-TE's feet! The clone pilot quickly controlled the walker to get out of the quagmire.
Suddenly, Obi-Wan looked towards the sky with feeling, but found nothing. He frowned and continued to command the troops to regroup and rest in preparation for the next wave of offensive.
