Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 754: Quagmire

Day 17 of the outbreak of fighting.

Jedi Master Norcuna's Army was slowly retreating, more of a rout than a retreat.

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

Ever since they retreated from Choal City, they have been continuously pursued by the Jabiim Nationalist Army and the Droid Legion. These pursuers were not eager to catch up 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...

Except for the Zephyr-G Swoops and a Small Number of Repularcraft, all the Heavy Equipment of the Clone Army was paralyzed in the mud and was destroyed or captured by the Jabiim Nationalist Army. They could only rely on their own feet to walk in the endless heavy rain and mud for a way out.

In contrast, the Droid Legion of the Jabiim Nationalist Army is sleepless, and the Anti-Gravity Boots of the Nimbus Commandos hardly consume any physical strength.

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.

Norcuna's Clone Army numbered 8,000 Clones. During the Battle of Choal City, they stubbornly evacuated more than 4,000 Clones despite being besieged internally and externally. Of course, Jedi Master Norcuna's Desperate Battle played a key role in allowing the Clone Troopers whom the A-series Assassin Droids had scattered to regroup and break out.

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

In the endless heavy rain, even a small wound will quickly become inflamed, infected, and suppurative after being soaked in water. Then, you will lose the ability to move and be trampled to death by the Droids 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 Clones 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 those wounded, they all fell behind and died.

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

Alto Stratus led the Nimbus Commandos, who had recharged their batteries in the past few days and had enough to eat and drink, to start the attack again.

Facing 1,000 Clone Troopers who could barely move their legs, this was a massacre!

Jedi Master Norcuna dragged his exhausted body and rushed to kill again and again, but in the end, he was unable to do anything and fell to the ground exhausted.

Alto Stratus walked over, grabbed the Tentacles above the Twi'lek's Head and lifted him up.

Jedi Master Norcuna's consciousness has become confused. He has not eaten for several days in a row and has been continuously injured in Continuous Battles, and he has almost lost his ability to judge. He just muttered the Jedi's Creed with his only strength, "...There is no pain, there is only The Force..."

"There is no pain? Another Jedi lie. The Jedi sits among the dead and claims there is no pain..." Alto said loudly, "Wherever you Jedi have passed, all you have left behind is the smoke of War and corpses littering the fields! But you keep saying there is no pain?"

He grabbed Jedi Master Norcuna's Tentacles, exposed his neck, and roared loudly, "When I saw my Sister die in my arms, her legs had been completely crushed by your Walker, Is this pain?! When our people were ravaged by the Brain Plague, Pirates, and Slavers, is this pain?!"The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

Swish!! He cut off Jedi Master Norcuna's Head with his Sword and roared: "The Jedi and the Republic have brought us endless suffering, and now! All this pain will be returned to every Jedi who invades our Home!!"

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

In the past few days, they destroyed countless Jabiim Nationalist Army Battle Groups that blocked them and killed Tens of Thousands of Jabiim Nationalist Army Soldiers and the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems that came for reinforcements.

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

These Jabiim Nationalist Army Soldiers were delaying their progress with their lives.

What is even more troublesome is the Unknown Race they have now confirmed to be called Jackals!

These Jackals have excellent eyesight and can see targets clearly from a long distance even in heavy rain. This is something that even their Instruments and Equipment cannot do. Therefore, every Jackal is an excellent Sniper, extremely fast, has extremely accurate marksmanship and is cruel in nature. Many Clone Troopers were killed by their Snipers.

In order to eliminate these Jackals, Jedi Master Sirrus had to organize a Fast Mobile Force composed of Jedi Knights, driving the Zephyr-G Swoops to drive away and kill the Jackals.

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 sent out to find them returned, and they also brought back new news.

Count Dooku's Dark Disciple, Asajj Ventress, is on the Battlefield in this direction!

With this powerful killer here, every Jedi attack is a bet on life! Even if the Jackals pose no threat to the Jedi, Asajj Ventress can!

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

The Jabiim Nationalist Army has also joined forces with the Droid Legion and Jackal Legion to form a Powerful Military Force and began to launch continuous attacks on Master Sirrus's Troops!

This Army does not have much Heavy Equipment, because the IG-227 Hailfire-class Droid Tanks and OG-9 Homing Spider Droids were used to reinforce the Battlefield on the other side to encircle and suppress Jedi Master Norcuna. However, the Ordinary Soldiers of the Jabiim Nationalist Army were fighting with the B-1 Battle Droids and the Army dominated by Droids still launched a determined 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 Jabiim Nationalist Army, they still did not stop.

Until the news came that Jedi Master Norcuna's Troops had been completely annihilated...

When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived for reinforcements, they received this almost desperate news.

Jedi Master Norcuna's 8,000 Clone Army was wiped out, and Jedi Master Sirrus's Clone Army lost more than half and was gradually returning to their Headquarters, Cobalt Station.

The number of dead and wounded Jedi Knights 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.
